Today the ordering page for all Tesla's (3, S and X) includes the following quote when ordering Full Self-Driving Capability. "Summon: your parked car will come find you anywhere in a parking lot. Really." This is in the section explaining things available NOW, not coming later. Has anyone...

I completely understand what he is saying. The car with v9 tries to "help" by automatically turning on the heat when the cabin temp is colder than preset and A/C cooling when it is warmer than preset. Problem is, unlike most cars there is no "heat" switch because the A/C = heat which is weird. I...

I really wish Tesla would provide an option for the volume of the autopilot chimes. I just got a new 2018 Model X with upgraded sound system. The autopilot chimes are significantly louder than my previous 2016 Autopilot 1.0 Model X and 2015 Model S, all on the same firmware version. I'm...

I've been living with a P85DL with pre-April + suspension for the past 2 years. I test drove a P100D last night. I thought I'd be blown away by the increased speed, better seats, Autopilot 2.0, etc. Both have new tires, although the guy had his tire pressure at like 36 psi. I agree with DillyBop...

Well, that didn't take long. It was 2.36.31. Now I can hit the hay.

it is just after midnight and I got a software update notice for my Model X. I'm sure it's the 7.1 "Chinese Hacker block" upgrade (AKA "It's 8.0!! Oh crap, no it's not." upgrade v2.36.31 on Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker). I got it for my Model S last weekend but... now I can't sleep and have to...

My Model X 90D (Delivered 6/22/16, VIN 006624) has the newest battery part number I have seen... 1088790-00-A Of note, full charge, ideal range shows 311 miles in the Model X which is impressive. I'm not getting too excited since it is the first full charge on the day of delivery. Just another...

I won't mess with the settings now until I bring it to Tesla Service next week. I also had the LTE upgrade along with the display replacement so our problems are the same. I'll be sure to post here when I have an answer.

I am having the same problem now with the latest 7.1 firmware update. 2015 Model S P85D and cannot unlock car from app. Rebooted car display and dash, rebooted phone, deleted and reinstalled tesla app, turned remote access off and on in car, turned off and on always connected option. Tried from...

Yes, middle row folds down on Model S (really?). Nope, your not missing anything. Discussed ad nauseum on this forum. Just use the search function and try not to start new threads where thousands of replies to this have already been discussed. Ground clearance? What does that have to do with...

Brian, If you just browse the CPO's new & pre-owned you see P90D's listed, but if you click on the actual car for options you will see they all have Ludicrous...every single one of them. I went back and checked to be sure. It seems all P90D's are hardware equipped with Ludicrous, it is simply...

Tesla is brilliant! Don't forget the additional profit they get on the other end after you trade in or return your lease. These "70 kWh" cars magically ALL become 75 kWh cars on the CPO website. Your car isn't worth as much as it's only a "70 kWh" battery so they give you less on your trade in...

My first post was off the top of my head from my personal experimentation. After further research, TeslaTap and TMC has info that Model S uses the Parrot FC6050W chip which supports 802.11b/g/i/j. Looks like only b/g are enabled. Finally found the info sheet. Tesla has to upgrade to the Parrot...

Model S only supports 802.11g 2.4Ghz. If you are using 802.11n 2.4Ghz you will see the network and you can try to connect, it just won't work. I was excited that with the LTE upgrade to my Model S that MAYBE Tesla upgraded the WiFi as well. No such luck. Kinda sucks since out of 25 or so WiFI...

Doesn't work on my Feb 2015 produced P85D :(

Thank You...Still getting used to the new site. The "New Posts" section doesn't seem to keep up.

Quick FYI. Your Mobile connector is cable 20' in length, Old wall connector is 25' so think hard before ordering the 8.5' cable version of this new HPWC.

Just a quick FYI... The new $500 High Power Wall Connector has a cable length just 8.5' and they offer a 24' length for $550. Of course this is obvious but 8.5' is extremely short so you need to be very close to the car. Just as a reference...The Mobile Connector that comes with the car is 20'...

Is anyone going to mention that the Model X Order page in NOW open to the masses? Do we need a separate thread to make this known? Is it not such a big deal? Before the Red button under Meet Model X said "Reserve Yours" now it says "Order Yours" and lets you, well you know... This is important...

Hey J1mbo, I really don't think anyone has realized that Franz is resting his arm on a Model 3 prototype mockup!!! I got it..hiding in plain sight. I can see the lines better on this than the covered version. It shows the back better.

I'm surprised no one from Arizona has posted yet. I just got off the phone with the Scottsdale SC and they have been doing Ludicrous upgrades. According to the service manager, when Tesla ships your "packet" for the upgrade and it has your name on it! Your SC knows when it ships and that is...

Did you try adjusting the "lumbar support" control. It pumps a support into the low back area and can be of some benefit. You could also try a different seat height. This could take some of the weight off of your low back as well by having the legs at a lower position. Even the bottom of the...

Andy...You are so right. Thank You! Tesla | Gracenote One more piece of the puzzle. - - - Updated - - - You are correct. Embedded artwork is ignored and simply using the Artist and Album info Tesla downloads artwork from Gracenote. You could cross reference how you are naming your albums to...

Tesla does not recognize "Album Artist" for sure. Only "Artist" and I was specific when I used that term for that reason. If you are using a Mac, there is an EXCELLENT application called "TeslaTunes" that will convert your iTunes collection or playlist and embed the "Artist" tag into the song...

From my 3 year experience of using it and 50,000 song collection, Tesla simply uses the metadata tags for Artist and Album to look up album art on a server somewhere (I have no idea which service they use but would like to know!). It uses the cellular connection or WiFi if you are connected. If...

It takes about 30 minutes and I have about 1.5 TB of music...about 50,000 songs. Once it loads you don't have to reload until the car reboots i.e. with a system update. It hasn't been a problem really. I think the load time is a function of how much metadata it has to read i.e. how many...

My first EV was a Nissan Leaf and it had the ability to choose your charging end time with v1.0 of their software, so DUH TESLA. Until Tesla adds this feature here is the "easy way" with only subtraction needed. 1. Plug in and start charging your car at the amperage you want to use with NO A/C...

My left steering wheel button/control actually broke so the push in switch part stopped working as you are describing. It had no "click" feel any more so you may have a software issue. Tesla replaced it easily but then when I honk the horn close to the left it pushes the upper fast forward...

Crazy late reply...sorry. Model S does not support embedded Album Cover Art. It downloads Album Art from the internet using the album, artist, and track name tags. If you have this "metadata" correctly listed in your files, then the album art will be downloaded automatically.

Mine!

I'm only guessing based on a 11 month old quote from a November 7, 2014 Tesla e-mail "Latest Updates from Tesla." How do you guys define "significant platform change?" Since then we have had many improvements to Model S i.e. Executive Seats, 70D, 90kWh battery, Ludicrous upgrades, LTE just to...

At first I thought, how could it be a Model X? Looks exactly like a model S. But then I compared to this picture and I think you will all agree it's an X. I took the liberty to tweek out the lens distortion in Adobe Lightroom. Now what if it's the "new" model S being released this fall...

Does anyone not remember what Elon said at the P85D launch last year? He specifically said there would be no major changes to Model S until Fall of 2015. Now since then there have been some changes like 70 and 90 batteries, ludicrous upgrade, LTE and executive seats. He apparently doesn't...

Imagine having your entire collection of music (including high resolution 24 bit files) available to you in your Tesla. I would like to personally recommend TeslaTunes. I converted from ALAC to FLAC the old fashioned way (manually with XLD) and it took me over a week of babysitting the process...

All listed complaints were 100% directly from this thread but I've been watching Donald Trump a little too much and it rubbed off in my original post :-) I understand your frustration due to Tesla's lack of communication but the above post explains it to a tee. I feel for the people ordering...

I have to apologize. Further research confirms Model S Signature reservations holders DID get a choice on Performance or Regular S but they did end up paying more than a similarly configured non sig car. (called it Sig Tax of 3-5k) which is not an issue with Model X. I Personally, I would not...

You forgot sig x holders also want fold down seats, ability to keep sig red color and ultra white interior, to see what the front looks like, no leather interior, lower weight of gen 2 motor with better cooling (really?), better range when the car is 10 years old, to know all the new secret...

HELLO?? Did all ya'll not realize that a Signature reservation was a maxed out car when you plunked down $40,000? I'm getting sick to my stomach listening to the whining about "I don't want a P, waaaaaah, mommy!" It was pretty clear to me that would happen so I went the regular res route (in the...

Welcome Justin. I'm not a big poster here but I just wanted to add my thoughts before the flood of comments. You say you "will not have the ability to charge at home...ever." Could you please elaborate? Do you live in a condo? Are you a renter? Do you plan to never move from said condo? Do you...

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG. The real deal from Tesla and everything lines up PERFECTLY (I know it's a CAD drawing but one can dream).

1. Go to the teslamotors.com website. 2. Click on Model S. 3. Scroll down to the section that says Autopilot. 4. Realize that everyone has known this since P85D was introduced last fall.

Mine too! Especially since I just figured RHD = Right Hand Drive and LHD = Left Hand Drive. I hate acronyms (so why did I go into medicine?). The suspense is killing my productivity.

FIX: Enable 802.11g on your Wireless Router You know your are CONNECTED to WiFi if you see the WiFi icon where you currently see 3G or Edge. You need to enable 802.11g and or 802.11b on your router. These are older protocols but unfortunately it is what the Model S requires. Your router will...

I was hoping that one of the new codecs supported would be Apple Lossless (ALAC)... It's not, I checked. I'll continue converting my 50,000 song collection to FLAC. Maybe some day it will happen since it is open source (discussed many places previously).

I believe that the Model X reveal is being held up because of new battery technology. If outed too early the current backlog of 10,000 Model S orders would be diminished and many orders would wait for the new battery to be added to the Model S in the fall of 2015 (remember, no changes until...

Dude, he's messing with us and it was meant as a joke :biggrin:. A P85 top speed is 130-135mph vs P85D at 155mph. P85D will always pass faster above 130mph!

The Tesla software doesn't recognize the "Disc 1 of 2/Disc 2 of 2" metadata. If it's really important to you, you can simply change the name of the album in iTunes to "Billy Joel's Greatest Hits (Disc 1)" and "Billy Joel's Greatest Hits (Disk 2)" and that will separate out disks. I have my...

No kirkp, I didn't know that! Can't wait to try it out. I put my entire collection of 40,000 songs on a hard drive connected via USB so this tip is awesome.

It's a major complaint for me as well. Playing music with a bluetooth connected iPhone 4S and 5 requires the phone to be in the front middle of the car. Even resting it on the armrest causes dropouts. I wish it had better range or better bluetooth antenna placement. I'm missing out on a lot of...

It was probably me. I live in Goodyear and I'm all over the part of town...Lifetime fitness, restaurants down the road on McDowell. Only problem...I have an S60 MC red with 19" rims.
