    Homelink and 2023 Holiday Software Bug?

    Same issue and scenario of not closing when leaving, but opening upon return with my Mdl S.

    Homelink is acting weird

    I had this issue with LED light bulbs too. I have 20yr old LiftMaster g-door openers Kind of a weird thing though. The garage door had worked fine since "day one" for 3 to 4 years now. And my other cars Homelink systems work with the same opener with LED light bulbs on their respective...

    Homelink / garage door opener issue at night!

    I had this issue with LED light bulbs too. Kind of a weird thing though. The garage door has worked fine since "day one" for 3 to 4 years now. And my other cars Homelink systems work with the same opener with LED light bulbs. Then one day, it won't shut anymore in my Mdl S. I cycled the...

    Road Hugger GTZ A/S initial impressions

    I would totally agree on the cost savings, but as the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for!" Which is generally true. There is the whole thing that many car mags have written about lately on EVs needing specific tires made for the extra weight, the instant torque, and the efficiency of...

    Road Hugger GTZ A/S initial impressions

    I saw these for the first time last month while getting ready for my next set of shoes. Please give an update in the future to let us know how they are working out. Are you running the 245/45/19 size on your Mdl S?

    Vendor Preventative Maintenance regarding Battery Failures in early Model S vehicles (2012-2014)

    Just an update, it has been almost a year, and through the summer, I have noticed on the garage floor "puddling" where the hose extension drains out. So it does appear to be working! Now keep in mind, this is from a fairly cooler temperate Seattle climate, not the higher humidity midwest, east...

    Supercharger - Cle Elum, WA - W. Davis St. (LIVE 25 Aug 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    I charged at the Tukwila (SouthCenter Mall, south of Seattle) at lunch today - no issues, which is good for me! So the original Cle Elum charger has something going on - at least it did on Saturday, 8/12/23.

    Charged okay at the same SC and another SC (Entiat) on the way out 6 days earlier. Charged okay everyday on a 120V 12amp outlet. Charged okay at my buddy's house (240V 40amp), and in my garage (240V 32amp) on the way back, and every day since. Like you state, I will have to try another SC to be...

    I can't wait for it to be finished - then they can go over a fix the other Cle Elum SC location. On the way "out", I charged at 4A - no problem. On the way "back", I tried to charge at 3A - would not work. No issues letting me know that it would charge (orange light or anything), it just...

    Update: Unbelievable. After 3 months of hitting the "TPMS Rest" button every time I drive the S, and then having it come back 5-10 minutes later stating there is an error...

    Vendor Hello from Discount Tire!

    Price, Jordan, Joe and Matt: I went to the my local Discount Tire to get my TPMS sensors replaced in my 2012 Model S. (433MHZ system) back in March 2023. From the info I could research, along with what recommended for the correct sensor at DT, they installed BHS UV4040 TQ40 Red 433 INTLSNS. (I...

    Any updates? I will be driving through on my way to Lk Chelan in mid-Aug, and usually stop at the original Cle Elum SC. Any word if they will be keeping that one open in addition to this new one? Is the cafe/coffee shop at the old SC still open? Thx in advance.

    Upgraded MCU1 to MCU2 - Are you experiencing New Problems?

    I fortunately didn't have any negative issues with my MCU2 upgrade. Issues for me are still around the audio from the regular s/w updates. (2 steps forward, 1 step back, ...) Where is the regression testing?
  18. Ron Burgundy

    MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade due functionality issues

    My guess is that the memory is starting to fail after so many read/write cycles. The "story" is that TSLA did not use commercial grade nor military grade RAM, but rather consumer grade. And that combined with the ever expanding size of the S/W being used, along with at one time tracking and...

    $724 for TPMS sensor?

    The Discount folks tried to use their tool by holding next to the valve stem. After several iterations as I described above, the store Mgr called their HQ to get more info. Their suggestion was to try to configure the sensors to a 2013 Mdl S - which I believe to be the same Gen 1 TPMS...

    $724 for TPMS sensor?

    I think I have read through all the posts about TPMS modules. My situation: 2012 Signature - I do not have the individual psi readings, just an over-all warning message, so a Gen 1 system. (At this time, I do not want to spend the $ to upgrade to the Gen 2 Continental system) Original wheels I...

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    I can understand your decision dilemma. For me, my 2nd replacement MCU1 (as you may know the replacements were rebuilds) was going out. By then the Feds had already mandated the fix and I had received my refund check for buying my 2nd replacment (first was out of warranty by a month or 2)...

    Constant cracking sound in speakers; sporadic loss of audio

    I now have 2023.6.8. The sporadic 1/4 sec loss of music audio (streaming) has been reduced from every other or third song, to now about every 5th or 6th song -- but is still happening.

    I too have this issue. It started with the prior version, and with the latest (2023.2.12) I too have these 1/4sec drop-out in streaming. It doesn't matter what station or service. It happens about every other song. How much regression testing goes on? The unintended consequences from s/w...

    Home Charging

    Most breakers are not meant to operate at full amperage continuiously - hence the 80% suggestion. Check what amperage your charger is wired to and make the adjustment.

    2012 P85 HV battery replacement options -- need perspective.

    Not to side-track this discussion, but just curious if this might have lead to the issue at hand: Car sat unused, unplugged, outdoors in summer heat for six weeks until a week ago and lost most of its charge during that period but had no issues charging to 85% after that. I have always thought...

    Home Charging

    It has been (in the past, maybe not now?) suggested that you only charge at 80% of the rated amperage of the circuit breaker that your home charger is connected to. So if your charger is connected to a 40A breaker, that would suggest your charge at 32A (set on your charging menu). I have this...

    Supercharger - Chehalis, WA

    Interesting on the EVgo chargers providing 50kw "competition". Are they trying to start a price war? I don't know what the costs are for either (lifetime charging free for me), but the speed factor would seem to be a differentiator for Tesla.

    The MCU upgrade price is just what the cost was at the time after coming down from the initial $2500, then down to $2000, then lower. My second replacement MCU1 was refunded via the NTSB enforced recall. The first replacement was part of the CPO warrantee. I am not totally following your VCM...

    I am sure someone a lot more knowledgeable will chime in, but besides the read/write failure that will eventually happen (me 3x), my thoughts are that the size of the s/w file is outgrowing the ability of the original memory and H/W specifications. (think DOS vs Windows vs now) I updated to...
