    Windows Phone Tesla App - Please vote "me too" here if you are a WP user

    Greg, if the app doesn't work for you or crashes please let me know, latest cars usually have different data configuration returned from the servers which the App would not understand and intentionally crashes to send the report back to me, I can't fix these problem before it happens because I...

    Windows Phone Tesla App - Please vote "me too" here if you are a WP user

    I just put Tesla Companion back on the store, it fully supports calendar sync, however I have disabled all related cloud services until I find out if Tesla Servers are stable again to re-enable that functionality Your request appears to be from an automated process

    Firmware 6.2

    I'm on 6.2 (136) and just got a notice for a new update. I'll wait at least a couple weeks before installed. I'll wait for feedback from TMC. Did someone else get it and installed? Did you notice something different?

    Firmware ver 7 - additional hardware needed?

    They will buy your car and sell you a new one. The number of sensors is too little even for autonomous lane change, I read the ultrasonic sensors have about 100ft range which is not enough for an autonomous lane change and require user assistance, tapping on the turn handle and basically...

    Elon "About to end range anxiety"

    - Partnership with Amazon to deliver a spare battery with a drone wherever you are. - Trucks with mobile superchargers I'm more inclined to the second option.

    Elon "About to end range anxiety"

    Software update to increase range from 265 to 600 miles or a National wide fleet of pick-up trucks with enough batteries to supercharge a stranded vehicle anywhere.

    Forgot to connect the charger!

    What is the efficiency?, it mentions that is 240V 40A which is 9.6KW and the website decided to omit that information but charges to 3.3K, I guess the efficiency is close to 35%. you will end up paying three times electricity to charge at less half rate.

    Smart Preconditioning

    Apology, I get it now :), I did my response from all previous post than reading yours in detail, I think it would be a good idea to allow the driver to know what the preconditioning predicts and allow to overwrite it, so Tesla could even get better field data.

    Smart Preconditioning

    The way I see it Smart Preconditioning is far from provide good results, if they provide a schedule interface no one will use the smart preconditioning so they won't have field data and the system can't be perfected, I think currently the users are guinea pigs hence released as Beta, with the...

    Tesla Companion App

    Let’s see, one has to spend a humongous amount of time to create a professional Tesla App, the App is at risk to stop working at any time, so after 2 years of work it may stop working from one day to another and there is nothing that can be done, for every firmware upgrade Tesla Companion get...

    Proactive Courtesy Inspection on the Battery

    You should ask more questions, after all is your car (not a lease a suppose) and you have the right to know what is going on with your battery and what they will do to it. I had a similar argument with the battery contactors and decided to opt-out from the free upgrade since they didn't...

    How many moving parts in a Model S

    What I mean is the question if the Model S provides an emergency and redundant system for the brakes, the Model S can easily detect if the hydraulic system has failed, when the user press the brake it can trigger a failsafe mechanism that really "reverse the polarity" in some degree (it is an AC...

    How many moving parts in a Model S

    The regen is an option, however if the car can detect the brakes are not operational easily I'm sure they can feed the motor reverse energy (similar when going backwards), and make a full stop similar or even better than with the hydraulic brakes. I don't know if a system like that exists on the...

    How many moving parts in a Model S

    Thanks, that's a good start for a M5 engine which is what a Model S is compared to, also the argument is about moving parts, lets not count fluids and seals, since the Model S also have these and parts that don't move don't count for the argument. Just the engine interior 4 * 8 = 32 valves? 32...

    How many moving parts in a Model S

    I would like to know roughly where are the 2000 parts on a ICE powertrain, since if I'll go with an argument with someone then I can't take 2000 parts number from my hat. If the Model S motor is counted as one moving part (no bearings or gears?) then probably ICE engine should be count as one...

    Tesla Companion App

    Tesla Companion is officially put to sleep, I supported this project 1 1/2 year, however it is very difficult to make a reliable software without any kind of support from the company. Cloud services became unreliable as well, may be because of the throttling however Tesla doesn't give you any...

    How many moving parts in a Model S

    It has way more than 18 moving parts, moving part should count anything that moves and can break. Unless the doors, frunk, trunk are welded and the windows can't open and mirrors are manual, no brakes, the wheel doesn't turn, etc. Only there you already have more than 25 moving parts, I'm not...

    Rated range loss after 1 year

    I don't even know my actual full range or even 90%. Boring driving for 9 months 30 miles a day. Charge at 80% at 30A every night Used to get 204 miles at 80% After 21K miles I'm at 203 miles at 80% Range charge twice in a year, I think was 256 miles every time.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    Doesn't make a lot of sense, this is not a main indication how the car was driven, a car driven on a cold weather can have an average of 430w/m where the same driving habits can bring down to 330w/m on a nice weather. - - - Updated - - - Jerry, do you drive only downhill? :smile: Where do you...

    Range of model S

    Extra 112$ a month? wow... my bill is only $30 more now with Model S. How much are you paying for electricity? Some tip: It won't reduce your bill however it will take care more of your battery. 15 minutes before you leave your garage put the heater with the remote app, it doesn't matter which...

    Range of model S

    After more than one year of detailed analysis on my car I can share that it really depends on the weather, on a 85KWh the average driving will consume about 330 watt per mile, the 265 miles rated range is based on 290 watt per mile, so on summer you should expect 10-15% less so the real range is...

    Tesla Companion App

    The fact that this is happening on all third party apps and seems that official apps are not been affected (iPhone, Android) make me believe something change or there is some extra validation on the Tesla server side, I already contacted software development in Tesla and are aware of the...

    Tesla Companion App

    I'm getting more and more emails about failing to login to Windows Phone and Windows, as sad it sounds it may be the end of the road for Tesla Companion as well. Today I removed the app from the marketplace, hopefully Tesla will release a 3rd party SDK soon.

    Tesla: please use Google Maps for traffic-based navigation

    That would be nice, but Tesla would have to pay for two Navigation services, don't think Tesla will use Google unless they include a offline mode.

    Afraid to trust navigation system

    I think Tesla software development is heavily understaffed, owners have been asking for basic features for ages, servers are going down regularly for the official and third party apps, several regressions are there for long time. I think until Tesla don't increment sales (call it production...

    Proactive Contactor Replacement

    I got the call about a month ago, but they were not specific and required the car to be in the SC for two days, they did not provide details why needed to be changed, they keep insisting that nothing is wrong and is a "proactive" fix. OK, then I ask, then the part is prone to break? no, there...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    I would love if they just fix all the broken stuff first, with updates they implement 2 or 3 new features and break at least 1 of the old one. I'm already afraid to install any new update, in fact usually I don't install new updates until I hear in TMC that the revision is stable, currently my...

    2½ times around the globe in 365 days club

    LOL!!! 1e+05 km, they are using float notation with only two digits before the "." :) You can report that bug to Tesla, I bet you will be the first to report it. I bet Tesla was expecting for users to reset the small odometer often, from what I have seen most of the people keep at least one...

    Is NAV broken?

    A bad sensor would not behave in this way, when switching between Auto => Day => Auto should have the same outcome as Auto => Night => Auto which is not the behavior that happen on the car. Auto => Night => Auto fixes the issue and auto switches to day mode. - - - Updated - - - And Im not...

    Is NAV broken?

    For me is about 50/50, since not often I re-zoom or the route is recalculated, however once I got in the wrong turn because of this problem and I was looking at the big screen, so it can't be trusted.

    Is NAV broken?

    How can you be sure it's only me? Do you work in Tesla? That's a bold affirmation you are making. Regressions on firmware updates is pretty common on Tesla, I have been on the service center way too many times already, broken NAV is something that I can tolerate since the small NAV is working...
