Ok so we have the pointless fart mode... how about something a bit more fun. Being able to select an engine sound ranging from 50cc moped to full on over compensating for a small tadger full blown aftermarket loud exhaust setup with other options in between. Would be fun to emulate other...

OK... my anger rant has subsided. Got a call from them and they have refunded the cost of the tyre rotation so that I can go to the local garage to get it done. Looks like human error and the wheels got mixed up when they put them back on. No stress..... Love the MCU2 upgrade and LTE makes a...

Ok so I go to Bristol Service centre for them to fit the correct sim in my car after the MCU2 upgrade (yet another work day lost to Bristol Service Centre UK ). Whilst I was there I ask for the rear wheels to be exchanged with the front ones due to tyre wear (paid job).... just got back ....and...

I wish for us AP1 owners they would do a teslacam for the front camera, I can't install a dashcam in Model S as nowhere for all the wiring to go and would just look messy. But we do have a really good camera that I see no reason why Teslacam can not at least record front and back camera's that...

Modem isn't LTE capable if it is installed with a 3G Sim, it's then only capable of 3G. You could say that my S85 is capable of 1,000bhp but instead of the Plaid motor installed they gave it the S85 motor....but it is '1,000bhp capable' :)

1: 3G won't be a thing soon when they turn off the 3G signal. 2: MCU1 memory issues crashing etc 3: Insanely faster interface 4: Navigation is done very quickly rather than waiting 10 mins for it to figure out the route 5: Future updates will most probably be fourth coming whereas I feel...

Just had my S85 2014 AP1 done at Bristol as well last month. Bit annoyed at Bristol service centre as I had been their twice spending all day there due to MCU1 issues that they denied was actually anything more than a 'clearing cache' issue... Worst one was waiting all day only to be sent home...

They managed to sort out your LTE over the air?

It clearly states on their website that LTE is part of the upgrade. Part of the reason I went for it and not wait for the recall fix of the MCU1. Youtube and Netflix is pretty pointless on 3G.

Well it's not going to work out cost effective for them as they're going to have to pull it all apart again to sort out the sim.

Mine was made in Sept to Dec 2014 so just missed out on LTE and is 3G. I have never seen the 3G change to LTE or 4G after the MCU2 update even right next to the new communication Tower where my phone says 4G full bars.

Cheers for the reply, I have never seen the signal since MCU2 upgrade change from 3G, checked my phone and full 4G bars but no 4G on Tesla screen. I can't get Netflix screen to let me log in either, UI is super small and unusable..never easy when they 'fix' something.

I did the MCU2 upgrade (2014 Model S) also UK and still have the same 3G, was expecting LTE/4G

Or ...ignore my long rambling previous post. Could someone be so kind as to confirm that my previous 3G connection should have been upgraded (it is still 3G after MCU2 upgrade).

Just had the MCU2 upgrade done to 2014 Dec issue S85 as after may visits and calls regarding MCU1 failing issues I just thought that I would like my heating to work, internet connection to come back on and the car to stop rebooting if I looked at it the wrong way. Very happy with the screen...

I looked into this as Virgin Media are annoying me with a phone call about my service (upsell) every few days. I pay £70 for a fast cable connection but every time I see their van in the area parked up I know we will have a disconnect at some point lasting all day (working from home no fun...

Ha, terminology all got mixed up...you're quite right dendrite's. I think the best way with larger packs is to just charge every cell up to a set max once a month to balance. I will have a separate balance cable port in case I need to manually do it. Really simple for Li ion pack, just have a...

I lived on Endless Sphere :) Flying Capacitor BMS is the only BMS I will rely on to balance a battery pack. Lifepo4 we couldn't get them to catch fire no matter what we ried, shot them with shotgun, crosbow, over charged them ....err...set fire to them. A123 pouch cells from dodgy chinese...

You have been moving in similar circles to me it seems :) Worst thing you can do to an ebike or any other battery is to stick a top floating BMS on them. To balance it you have to leave the battery at 100% which causes tendril growth and that's how they catch fire especially lipo's. The...

Sounds wackier than it is...excuse the wires as it's still in prototype stage, once I add the rest of the cells it's going into a proper cabinet with tidy wiring and better connections. But even as it is it has ROI'd already and not failed once. RE the fire extinguisher: It's in a small...

Ha, made me laugh... basically I bought a load of brand new lawnmower batteries for £400 (bankrupt stock Bosch) and built a Tesla Powerall sized pack. Pics will explain better... 3 BMS for emergencies plus cut off on inverters and a constant cell ballancer...then into a junction box with trips...

I received this.... Tesla has decided to voluntarily recall certain Model S and Model X vehicles built before March 2018 that are equipped with an 8GB embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) in the media control unit because the eMMC may malfunction due to accumulated wear. Our records show that you own...

I want a selection of looped engine noise samples that can respond to throttle control...just think you could choose from 1980's electric milk float 2000's RGV250 v twin 2 stroke 1980 Honda C50 moped any super sports car you can think of Would be fun as I miss the noise.

So I'm sat here reading this whilst stripping apart 32.4v 3Ah 100whr electric lawn mower packs (£84 on ebay each) that I bought for £3.50. I bought 120 of the damn things. So far I have hooked up 5kwh of them in a 48v (14S) configuration with a passive capacitor based BMS that is always...

Cheers for the reply and help :) They said that I do not have the Tech package on my S85 AP1 which is needed to get the MCU2 upgrade? But looking at older posts regarding the Tech package mine must have it. I have: Tech Package with Autopilot Power Lift Gate, Auto Park, Traffic Aware Cruise...

Ahh cool, Rich would you be able to do me a favour please, I'm being told that they can only do it on AP2 cars by Tesla Services and have had no end of issues with the MCU1 failing. Happy to pay for MCu2 upgrade to just get it fixed once and for all. Could you give me a bit more detail on your...

Is there anyone in this thread that has had the MCU2 upgrade with an AP1 vehicle, I'm being told by Tesla that they can only upgrade AP2 cars to MCU2

Ok, something that I am quite a bit worried about. Just got off the phone to Tesla UK regarding my S85 Dec 2014 Reg (I think they said it was manufactured in Sept 2014). Now after loads of MCU1 issues reboots, no heating, no internet .. screen going blank etc all the usual stuff I just said to...

Meanwhile UK electric bills went up by 8.3% this year

Actually I managed to get 110kw on this old S85 today from 13%, I'm sure it's a bit faster using the CCS adapter now

They seem ok about it, my local SC have ordered the newer daughter board for me and are just awaiting delivery before they can fit it. Will be nice to have satnav, heating and driver console functioning properly oh and 3g

Sounds about right, I can get 73kwh around 10 to 15% state of charge with a warmed up battery but it tapers down to 50kwh at 50% and then quickly tapers down to 30kwh by the time 70% full. S85 Dec 2014 128k miles, previous owner was doing Milton Keynes to London daily so probably supercharging...

Yep this happens to mine as well. Turn off wifi and it should connect.

One thing to remember about Lithium Ion batteries are that when they are new it does not take long to lose a few percent in capacity at all, but this is just a short accelerated bit of degradation and soon settles down to normal after a couple of percent loss.

Car park was half full of Tesla's charging yesterday but the Ice invasion were getting confident that they can park there as well

I have had the same thing, 7 attempts now and a service center visit to reset the 12v whatever that means, and every tiume the update freezes at 80%. No satnav on driver console, no 3g and half the functions like volume control and temp readout are completely messed up. It was not this way...

You could not park there the charger I think....could be wrong but that road had been closed off for some time

What do you propose I do?? Not my land, don't even think it is enforceable as no penalty notice displayed for parking in bays. What would you do?

Getting loads of ice cars blocking half the superchargers at Amesbury on a regular basis.

25p kw/h yikes! Makes my failing MCU1 seem a bit more palatable with free charging. If you are really skint then Tesco's has a free charger 0.5 miles away but it is only 6kw super slow.

How much did that cost you per kwh?

Darn it, I thought I was first today doing the school run. So happy as it was a big dark empty void of chargers for this area. Winchesters ahem...never full .... charger was a royal pain in the butt with its 2 stalls. Happy days

I'm on Agile and the killer is the 4pm until 7 pm, have been learning to pre cook some dinners at cheap rate as it can go to 30p kwh for those 3 hrs and doesn't really get cheap again until 8pm. I also have 4kw of PV and that just powers my bitcoin mining operation (much more money per kwh than...

Just went past the Amesbury charger and can see that they are digging up the road next to the charger. Looks like they might be connecting it up to the grid. Hope so as 6kw charging at Tesco's whilst free is getting boring.

£312 wow that is more bearable :) This is now the 5th time they have asked me to install the software and the 5th time it has been stuck indefinitely a\t 80% Booked in to Bristol service center now, what a faff but maybe they can fix the chip instead of shoe horning the system update onto car.

Damn this is exactly what mine is doing, 4 times they have sent me the update and it gets stuck at 80% Just had CCS upgrade last week so I thought it might be something to do with that. Had my suspicions that the MCu is on its way out S85 Dec 2014

Just had mine done last week, guy was cool and answered my questions on mobile service. Whole job only took an hour but did not check the update had taken, so car is constantly stuck at 80% of CCS software update and i have no satnav, 3G and heating is messed up! Standard reply from...

Yep, it's getting boring dumping the Model S at Tesco's around the corner for the free 6kwh charger.... getting the electric scooter out the boot and driving home....then scooting back to pick up the car. V3 charger is going to be so much easier. Albeit after I had the V3 conversion installed...

Well I just had the charger port upgraded on my S85 Dec 2014 so that I can use V3 chargers and now the MCU will not update. 4 times they have sent the update to my car and 4 times it hangs at 80%. No satnav on steering wheel screen or 3G and heating is all messed up. Had to hard boot several...
