    Tesla replaced both my HV and LV batteries

    Driving to pickup dinner on Sunday night and I noticed the “Acceleration and top speed reduced” message. No regen brakes and the car just felt/drove weird. Parked in front of the restaurant and grabbed the meal. Got back in to return home and got all these other messages with the worst one being...

    2019 FSD upgrade done…or is it?

    It's back at the service center now. The tech was puzzled at what the heck was going on once we went for a test drive and there was no auto pilot at all. He also mentioned that with the FSD upgrade, there would've been a ton of other options in the AP menu which weren't there. He's digging...

    2019 FSD upgrade done…or is it?

    No. I already had it. They gave me the FSD upgrade for free so I could subscribe. Before the upgrade, I had visualizations to an extent. Now I have none and AP wont engage at all. Some say that there’s further calibration and I should be patient.

    2019 FSD upgrade done…or is it?

    I did.

    2019 FSD upgrade done…or is it?

    So I just got the FSD computer upgrade on my 2019 MS and am super pumped! The calibration was done within 10 miles and I was super excited to start enjoying some FSD sweetness but I had just reached home so I waited for my next trip to activate visualizations. Flash forward two days and I’m...

    I just bought a 2019 Model S with EAP. No traffic light control.

    My car is at the SC right now getting the FSD upgrade (HW3) so that I can *maybe* subscribe to FSD. I really only want it for the green light chime. They're doing it for free. 🤗

    2016 Model S 90D

    The highest I got from anywhere else was $25k. I was shocked.

    I just bought a 2019 Model S with EAP. No traffic light control.

    Interestingly this turned up on the web… https://electrek.co/2022/12/12/tesla-ordered-upgrade-self-driving-computer-for-free-false-advertising/ Also, there’s this:

    I just bought a 2019 Model S with EAP. No traffic light control.

    Oddly, the app tells me it’s $1,000. That’s a $500 difference! I’d love to get it for free…

    I just bought a 2019 Model S with EAP. No traffic light control.

    SC is quoting $1500 to upgrade to AP 3.0 from 2.5. I find it odd that I've got "Enhanced Autopilot" but still have to pay $1500 to get my car ready for FSD if I decide to pay the $100 per month subscription fee.

    I just bought a 2019 Model S with EAP. No traffic light control.

    Honestly, it's the "hey dummy, look up!" alert I want for when the light turns green and I'm still scrolling ;-)

    I just bought a 2019 Model S with EAP. No traffic light control.

    So I'm not really interested in FSD. But I'm super pumped about EAP with traffic light and stop sign control. I thought I'd have it with this car but it turns out I don't :-( I have Extended Autopilot (which is great BTW) but I'd really like to get the traffic light / stop sign control. It looks...

    2016 Model S 90D

    Tesla gave me $34k trade in so it’s gone!

    2016 Model S 90D

    Purchased from Tesla in 2020. Warranty just expired. Got lots done prior to warranty expiration (SC guys are my buds at this point). No free supercharging. No infotainment upgrade. Carfax report shows accident prior to my purchase. No issues. I still have the report as well as all invoices from...

    Time to trade in the ‘16 S for something newer…

    I bought my ‘16 S from Tesla in February 2020 and it was a great experience. Car was in Georgia, I’m in Maryland. I decided to fly down and drive it back and it was absolutely the best way to get used to the car! now I’m eying some of these 2020 models and am wondering if I should trade my S in...

    Interior storage solutions...

    I absolutely love my model S however sometimes the clean design of the interior leaves one with very few options for storing personal effects. Has anyone come across a solution that cleanly takes care of this?

    Roav by Anker Dash Cam C1 Pro

    This is how I hard wired my Roav C1: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074GP5PVB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The attached pic is how I connected it to the extra power connector with ease (notice the hot wire is connected to the dark green and the ground is connected to the...

    Free unlimited supercharging and premium connectivity

    I'm going out of town tomorrow for business and will be Supercharging for the first time since noticing this. I'll probably get charged but if I don't, I'll grin a lil. I just logged on to Tesla.com and did notice a different UI: Cloudup

    Emergency brake assistance

    I just realized after three months of owning my model S I’ve never had the emergency brake assistance engage. Is there a safe way to test it?

    Still says “Ready for Pickup”

    I picked up my car from the SC 5 days ago and my app still says “Ready for Pickup”. Is there any way to change this?

    Holy grinding sound!

    AC compressor. Yes, it was covered under the extended warranty from Tesla (bought it in February CPO)

    Holy grinding sound!

    Dropped it off at 11am today, they gave me a loaner and the run down on "touchless drop off" when my car's ready and got a message an hour later that they were replacing the compressor. three hours later, she'e ready for pickup. The Rockville, MD Service Center has really taken things up a notch...

    Holy grinding sound!

    Thanks for all the replies. I have an appointment today at the SC. The noise seems to have subsided. Now I’m contemplating cancelling my appointment. Hmmm.

    Holy grinding sound!

    It stopped when I turned off the Climate Control. I have an appointment Friday at the SC. Not excited to be car-less for the weekend :-(

    Sensor is a little inset

    Should this concern me? I noticed one of the front sensors is a bit inset (see pic).

    Dash cam for 2016 S HW1

    That's one of the great features of the Roav. It starts recording as soon as it detects any kind of motion/impact. That one looks a lot like the Roav.

    Dash cam for 2016 S HW1

    Can you just grab vids off the SD card with a computer? Does it have a park mode where it automatically starts recording when it senses impact or movement?

    Dash cam for 2016 S HW1

    As much as I'd like to just concede to your ever-so-vague and baseless point, I simply can not. I had the Roav in my last vehicle for over a year with zero issues. It was easy to install, the picture quality is second to none (even at night) and the features are more than enough. Unless you can...

    Dash cam for 2016 S HW1

    ...yes it is. I wouldn't be able to afford the car if that was the way I justified purchases ;-) I see nothing that the BlackVue offers that warrants that price tag: Rear camera? Not interested. GPS tracking? My Roav did/does that. Video backup? My Roav did/does that. Two-way communication...

    Dash cam for 2016 S HW1

    I’m considering a new dash cam for my MS. I have this one from my old car: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_T7XKEb0YBRM19 It worked great but I need to get the sticky mount reapplied and am putting off the install because of basic laziness. These look like they’re...

    Free unlimited supercharging and premium connectivity

    That’s where I found out ;-) I can also go to my billing page and see when I was billed for the super charging on my maiden voyage. I don’t SC often at all so it’s not that big a deal to me but I was just curious.
  40. Tdblanchard

    Free unlimited supercharging and premium connectivity

    That may be the case for some but mine didn’t have that listed when I bought it and I was charged for SC when I took the maiden voyage home. I’m not complaining and I’ll surely take it if it’s legit but I was just wondering if anyone else noticed it...

    2020.8.1

    I had the exact same things happen (apart from actually getting the newer update)! Took 30 minutes to find out it was downloading/installing the same version that was in there before. I texted SC about it and they finally replied: I apologize for my delay in response, it looks like that is the...

    2020.8.1

    How did you get the update? I did a service call and they pushed the exact same version to my 2016 MS that I had before. When I reached out via text, they finally replied: I apologize for my delay in response, it looks like that is the latest available firmware for your vehicle at this time. New...
