    Tesla Aero Dynamics

    I was told that the holder is required to stay on by law as it is part of the front crash mitigation design of the car. Tesla cannot remove it. You can, if you wish once the car is in your possession.

    Tesla Owners That Hog Supercharger Spaces

    It was an X this time. I'm not going to touch someone else's car btw, like some here suggested. That day was very busy at the chargers and the mall. When I was done, I moved my car and went shopping. I had to park way in the back. Thats ok. At times, there was only 1 of 8 stalls available due...

    Tesla Owners That Hog Supercharger Spaces

    I have been seeing more and more Tesla owners parking in supercharger spots unplugged just so they have a better parking space to do their shopping. I am not sure how Tesla can address this. Just today, someone parked next to me while charging at a very busy supercharger location and did not...

    Bluetooth calling not working in 48.12

    Software Update 2018.48.x

    Updated both X and S to 48.12.1 two days ago. All is fine except the S door handles. Only the front passenger door responds when the car is unlocked but handles are retracted. Normally if the car is unlocked, you just tap on any door handle and they all pop out. That stopped in this build...

    2018.42.4 NO AP?

    Got into my X this evening and AP was not available as others described. I called the service center and they said they will open a ticket. I parked my car and 10 min later, AP is back and as good as before. Running 42.3 AP 2.0. Not sure what is happening...

    Air Conditioner Behavior

    I was told at SC that this is a known issue and will be resolved via .22 update... My issue is the cold air flow drastically becomes reduced, even with fan speed on high. I hear the fan sound increase but no increase in cold air... Note: It helps to keep fresh air on IE do not re circulate...

    Musk: All modes AP by end 2019

    I have noticed this with my S. In fact, Ap turns off sometimes if I use my right blinker with the latest FW 2018.6.1... X is working fine on the FW btw. Greg

    Software Update 2018.6

    OK, now .6 his on my X too and its really quite good. Does not hug the left. My S needs some tire work and that will happen on Friday (I hope). AP .6 on the S is useless for now. Greg

    Software Update 2018.6

    Yes, actually. The car needs alignment and new tires. Could not get that done at this appointment. They took the wheels off then put them back on. Not sure how that impacts the left bias. The car drove straight. Interesting thought though. I will be picking up my X tomorrow and was assured that...

    Software Update 2018.6

    Guys! Just got my S AP 2.0 back from the SC with 2018.6.7ffa6f7 installed. AP is rerunning a bit off. Hugging the left (never did that before) and almost ran me into a guard rail on the highway. This is not ready for prime time IMO. The one thing it does better then .4 is lane change. It's...

    5 Year Ownership Experience

    Great write up. I traded in my very early VIN 2012 MS P85 with 110,000 miles on her earlier this year for the MS P100DL . My out of pocket was $1,900 over that time period for new front breaks and one door handle. I think to be more accurate, you should also include your extended warranty costs...

    Slacker Hardly Works

    I have issues with Slacker on my cars for as long as its been available. Sometimes just as you described. Sometimes it just does not work at all. Even when connected to wifi in the garage, so its not a reception issue... at least not for me. Sometimes It helps to call Tesla and have them walk...

    Terrible Buying Experience - Should I be as turned off as I am?

    I bought my cars online but have noticed that the experience with Tesla employees for delivery and maintenance / repairs is very dependent on who you are actually dealing with. Some are incredible and go way beyond what anyone would expect and some are morons. Most are very good and really seem...

    Downside of Tesla Ownership...

    I drive an X and my Wife an S. Many times when we switch for the day, I hunt around the screen looking for the "open door" button... Also, while walking up to the car I'll pause because I'm so accustomed to the door opening on its own...Quite funny!

    Turtle on its back (upside down X) what happens?

    Guys, There is an emergency handle that opens the FWDs in the event of a power failure or roll over. The handle / pull rope or what ever its called is behind the speaker grill in each door. Just pop the grill off and pull it. Be safe. Greg

    Eclipse - glass roof + polarized shades?

    You will need more then that. Still to bright to view the sun directly. I tested. To make it work, I added 6ND filter paper X2 layers plus polarized glasses. Works on X (top of windshield) and S all glass roof.

    What are the chances of Autopilot 3.0?

    Cameras in the nose cone would be helpful only in theoretically perfect conditions. The nose area gets hit with bugs and dirt all of the time. No way to clean them without stopping the car and manually cleaning them off. Rain will also render them useless as soon as it starts (BTW the rear...

    Making friends at a Tesla Supercharger....

    I have made a few friends at SCers. What I can't stand is when someone (non Tesla owner) comes up to my car, whips out their phone and starts taking pictures of me and my car. Has this happened to anyone else?

    100,000+ Mile Club

    Had 110K on my 2012 P85 when I traded it in for the P100DS. Only out of warranty issue was one door handle stoped operating. About $900 to fix. Thats it. Would have kept it if it had AWD. Greg

    HW2 not enough for self-driving?

    I believe this math has errors. That 1.3M number is worldwide. Many counties don't have safe or even paved roads or safe cars. Some share roads with livestock etc. A better number to compare would be first world countries where the roads and laws are similar. "Every day, 28 people in the United...

    Oh No, My Paint!!!

    Thankfully I invested in complete expel wrap on both my cars. As for the black molding parts, its my understanding that they can be replace for a fairly reasonable amount of money. Due to their texture they cannot be wrapped.

    Supercharge power drop to 60kW at 22% charged, with no one sharing the power

    I have seen this exact behavior last week too. MX P100D 85 Degrees outside, no one else charging. 115KW for the first 10-15% then drop to 60KW. The eta for finish charge was off by 20 min too.

    Quick question to those that already payed for FSD

    There are legitimate arguments to buy the FSD option upfront and to not. I bought FSD upfront for both of my current cars for several reasons: 1) In NJ there is currently no sales tax on EVs. However, anything you buy for the car after sale is subject to 6.8% sales tax 2) The price of FSD goes...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    And I was so proud that I did 250 miles today :) I too am having false alarm stops for overhead anything on FW .3. Its better then before, but when it happens it scares the crap out of me. No audible alarm, just an aggressive slow down. The 5-6 times it happened to me today was enough to keep me...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    This is very interesting. I just drove 250 miles in the X with 17.11.3 (clear day with mild traffic) mostly highway and it really is much improved. Not quite AP1 yet, but getting close. Would love to hear if 17.11.10 really is something other then FWD bug fix (which I also have since 8.1).

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    That's terrible. I had trouble setting up my repeater too. Eventually, as I changed settings and set my router to provide a dedicated IP to the cars, they started to prefer the wifi over LTE. Took several days and no one at tesla knows how to help btw... Are you downloading 17.9.10 now? Really...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    When connected to your wifi, try using the car's browser. Does it work? If so, you should be good. My cars routinely disconnect from wifi when off. But connect when downloading updates. If your browser does not work while connected, then you might need to look at your router settings and be...

    Protecting Door Sill Plates

    I had XPEL put on my X sills and it looks great. The problem with the front door sills on the S is the lettering is recessed. I had XPEL cut in an oval shape where the lettering in the center is exposed. Otherwise there would be a bubble in that area when the XPEL dries. Most of the sill's...
