Is there a way of enlarging the Font Size on the Touch Screen or Driver's side screen. We have a new MS LR. My wife doesn't have 20/20 vision and cannot read the controls easily on the touch screen when driving. Thanks.

I just received my brand new MS LR. It has V10.2 2021.31.101.1. It says this is the current software. However, I don't see the Request FSD Beta button on the Autopilot page. I have the FSD option in the car. Any thoughts? Thanks.

We were early adopters and received our MS in February 2013 (after ordering in June 2012). So we are at the 7.5 year mark in our ownership (Vin 43XX.) We bought just about everything available on the car when we bought it, which means we have the backward facing seats for our grandkids, the 85...

We are visiting Norway for the first time. Arrived on Wednesday evening and took a taxi from the airport to our hotel in downtown Oslo. I counted the Teslas I saw between the airport and entering the maze of tunnels in the center of Oslo. In about 30+ minutes, starting about 7:30PM (not that...

In the new issue of CR, they released a results of a subscriber survey: Would you buy your car again? For the answer "Definitely Buy Again" Tesla tops the list of all cars and brands at 98%. The next closest car is the Corvette Stingray with 95% and then the Porsche Cayman and Boxter at...

I just noticed today that I have a red button on the top of my fob. I didn't before. Either Elon is able to do updates to the fob remotely or the tooth fairy came in and changed my fob. I just just checked my wife's fob and there is no red button. I had my car serviced a few weeks ago - maybe...

Last week I lent our MS to our daughter, son-in-law and our two grandchildren (3yo and 2months) as they were visiting from LA and going up to North Shore Tahoe for a few days. They did very well in the car, no issues, using the supercharger on the way up from the Bar Area at Roseville and...

We were in Hong Kong last week and one afternoon saw the following in Central. First there was a cherry red Bentley with the license plates S H. Our driver said that was the wife's car. The husband has an identical cherry red Bentley with the license plates H S. The a minute or two later, this...

I may be the first Tesla owner to end up with two destroyed tires hitting one (unknown) object. Yesterday afternoon I was making a gentle turn at about 35 mph on a clear road, no traffic and I heard a very loud bang and felt something hit the car. I looked back back but didn't see anything in...

I brought my car down to Fremont for my first annual service. When I made the appointment last week I knew they didn't have any Tesla loaners, so I expected and got an Enterprise loaner (A brand new fire engine red Camaro. :-() Since my last loaner, Tesla is now covering the cost of the gas...

I just got an email from my SC rep that they want to replace my 12V battery. It is preventative. My car is a plain M85, 43XX delivered in February. I have had absolutely no problem with the battery, but getting a free new one is fine with me. Is this a general recall? Thanks.

If so, where do I look for the battery terminals to connect the cables? Thanks.

Hi, When I got my Model S back in February, I bought a set of Lloyd Ultra Floor mats with a lifetime guarantee. A couple of months ago when I was having the car serviced in Fremont, my service advisor told me that he had given me a set of the Tesla mats (black of course) front and back which are...

I've been spoiled with my Lexus LS460L - it has tire pressure sensors which tell you what the pressure is on each tire. The Tesla S doesn't do that. So do you rely on getting a warning signal (I never have gotten one) that a tire is low before you check the pressure, or do you actually measure...

It looks like the Tesla playback software for tracks on USB drives does not recognize titles with umlauts. I found this out after looking at my 40 CD set of Bach Cantatas which have lots of umlauts in track titles - and they are all missing in the track lists - although they are there in the...

At my last service, I think they put on some extra of that black sticky stuff (think it is a sealant) for the edges of the panoroof. However, when I open the roof, a thin line of the stuff comes out onto the roof. Is there a good solvent to remove it? Any longer term solutions without having to...

I just got my Harvard Alumni Association email. It says that there will be a "Tesla Test Ride Social" for the Harvard Club of Seattle, open to the public, at the Tesla Seattle Showroom starting a 6PM on July 18th. $25 for members and $35 for non-members including food and drinks. There will be a...

Although I have been a subscriber to Consumer Reports for over 40 years, I bought my two current cars, before they received their 99 rating from CR. My older car is a 2007 Lexus LS460L Executive Class. I bought it new (in its first year of production, in September, 2007) and it has about 46,000...

I just noticed the Services Sign Up Button is back. Says I have 22 days to sign up. I am trying to decide between the 4 year service for $1900 and the 8 year for $3800 (assuming that the second four years will be more expensive and currently the amount I will lose in interest is pretty trivial)...

My screen went a little crazy this afternoon, quickly moving between topics - web, navigation, media, phone directory, etc. It stopped after I turned off the car and turned it back on. However, the rear camera won't appear at the top, only the bottom and the phone directory comes on...

I just had parking sensors installed in my MS. They are Cobra 0356/0358 (different sets of 4 each which look identical for front and back) and Cobra 0026/0027 front and rear display units (again different but look identical). They are made in Italy and come from Great Britain. Thanks to Dennis...

We are just about to take delivery of our Model S. It is ready! My wife is concerned that the SF East Bay, where we live, was just named as an area with one of the highest frequency of car thefts. We have a carport - so the car is visible. Is a Tesla hard or easy to steal? Sorry if this has be...

I just saw a documentary on Henry Ford last night. At its maximum the famous Ford River Rouge plant had a capacity to build 10,000 cars a day! They also had armed guards patrolling the plant and would beat up and then fire workers who gathered together to talk (to prevent them from organizing...

My Model S is scheduled for delivery between Jan 22 and Feb 5 (obviously it didn't make the first date). We really like the parking sensors on our Lexus LS460L, not so much the automatic parallel parking. Since the Model S is 5 inches wider than the LS460L, we think the Model S would benefit...
