Hmmm. I think the title to this post is only half right. Meat Heads are the real problem. Archie Bunker knew...

Same basic experience, I always use it now. I live a few miles west of Austin and have hit a few snags, but so far just one required disengagement. Prior to V12 I would NEVER let the car drive me out my hilly, narrow road neighborhood to the highway exit. V12 handled it perfectly the first...

I just got this problem solved on my iPhone. Tried everything - already had a 2.4g access point (as I learned years ago they work better with my MS). I got everything to work except the connection to the Tesla App. I could ping the WC on my home network, got it to connect to the phone in...

Using the all-important Wall Connector quick start guide, I was able to immediately get my new wall charger to begin charging my car. However it would not connect to the app. Once charging completed I had to re-cycle power every time I wanted to charge. I could connect to the wall charger via...

Yea it's pretty well known the home improvement store Leviton is crap for an EV - they do overheat - I have disassembled them and it is a blade contact issue. Some users report a melt down, but usually the mobile charger plug gets hot and tells the car to reduce the amp draw. There are...

FUD principal at work. They've all been fine for years. I just had a union shop install a 14-50 in a seasonal home remodel , and while they did install an expensive 60 amp GFI breaker as a code upgrade, the outlet they used was not an $80 Hubble, it was around $40 and definitely marked up...

did not know that...

There are other issues, yes, and they are the same as they have been for a few years. It takes a different UI for legacy cars with vertical screens and the additional instrument cluster display. Until now that was it, but it was enough to delay updates for legacy cars on many occasions. With...

If I am reading this correctly, V12 for legacy cars is currently undergoing safety validation... no release timeline given, but it is good news for the 3% of us who got left out.

No doubt. This becomes very evident when you start to scroll through vehicle upgrades on TeslaFi.

Seem likely it is a cabin camera issue. There are M3's the same age that are receiving it. I seem to remember some posts about a cabin camera being difficult to add in the Legacy cars. Not really sure though. Gonna be a lot of angry customers if they don't find a solution. Those will be the...

Yea, I shot another email over to the service center. The guys there were really nice, but it’s a month out at this point. Ha ha that’s probably not much in Tesla time.

Thanks for this. Everybody agrees I should be reimbursed at this point - I'm just not getting any action. It was towed to the nearest service center, Santa Fe, which was 200 miles farther away from Austin. The Santa Fe service center said 500 miles towing for battery failure, extended...

Last month Tesla had to tow my MS 200 miles from Clayton, NM to Santa Fe, NM for an HV battery replacement. Road side assistance incorrectly stated that my car was past its extended warranty - it was not and Tesla service verified that - and that the towing was going to be $1600 and that was...

I was supercharging when it happened and noticed the charge rate would not go above 35kw... I left the car for a few minutes and when I returned it was still charging at 35 kw. So I decided to move to another charging stall and when I tried to put the car in reverse (pull-in style...

No complaints about the service actually, or the battery. The car seems exactly the same.

New and old battery labels Sure old pack New pack

Last week, after an HV battery replacement at 75K miles (warranty) I pickup my 2019 MS 100D from the Santa Fe, NM Service center and drove it home to Austin, Tx. Checking the TeslaFi range on the new/replacement battery, it is EXACTY the same as my old one with 287 miles. I was hoping to...

Yea, seems like he was just preparing me for the worst. Within an hour or so I got an email from Tesla roadside that they would reimburse any costs. When the tow truck driver arrived four hours later from Santa Fe, he said there was no charge. I got a new Model Y with acceleration boost and...

Yea it’s the battery. They have car now and I’m getting a loaner in Austin. Prob just gonna have fly to Santa Fe to get the car. They paid all the towing 100%. Pretty good response overall from Tesla. Car had 800 miles left on extended warranty.

My 2019 MS had to be towed from the Clayton, NM supercharger to the Santa Fe service center for warranty HV battery replacement. The tow and the repair are under extended warranty protection, but the car is 1000 miles from home. I’m stranded with no car, no rental cars agencies here, wife...

Mine came in this morning. 2023.44.30.4 now the wipers are really screwed up. Instead of not working they run intermittently on all auto settings. Had to turn them completely off.

Dang! Fixed mine too. It went away when I recalibrated the seats in the service menu. Never knew about that arrow...

Yea I just saw that delay issue in a post from last year... what is really bad is when I can't hang up without rebooting. The phone actually does hang up but the car UI freezes.

Never really had problems before now. Definitely started after the last update the first time I drove.

Since receiving this update I have noticed several issues involving data connectivity and my Iphone 14. There is almost always a delay before the phone connects with the car and often it takes several minutes. I am also receiving "no connectivity" messages from navigation, even though I have...

I have a close friend who suffered a stroke and can no longer drive. He wants to sell his 2020 MS Long Range Plus with less than 8k miles, FSDb, and Tesla extended warranty. The car is in like-new condition and has only been supercharged a handful of times. Manufacture date is 9/2020 and the...

Nothing wrong with your advice, you don't have to believe me, even though many, myself included, have successfully used this outlet. However the words Industrial Rating are not mine, but appear in the Tesla literature for selecting a 14-50 outlet. Industrial Rating has to do with duty cycle...

My drivers window was squeaking so badly I hated to open or close it. Could not get it to stop until I got a bottle of Gummi Pflege Stift and applied it, with the window down, all across the top and front half seals that contact the window. Now silent. Good stuff.

Yea, and there has never ever been a non-Tesla or ICE vehicle slam into an emergency vehicle. Weird! It just never happens... you rarely hear about any ICE or non-tesla car wrecks in the news, and that is because it never happens. Right? Only Teslas with FSD do this crash stuff. I wonder...

The Leviton is trash. It only contacts 50% of the plug blade which causes a lot of heat and can melt the outlet. The Tesla Mobile Charger adapters have heat sensors in the plug and will lower the current to reduce heat. Other "dumb" loads could melt it. You do not need an expensive Bryant...

Message on the app still says check back in early 2023. I guess "early" for Tesla is sometime in the second fiscal quarter or later.

Cigarettes stink, even after years. So maybe some nicotine and THC vapes stink. But I can tell you for sure many do not, like a Juul for instance. You can hit a Juul all day long in a non-smoking hotel room and no one will ever know. Most vapes produce a vapor and not smoke, so nothing...

Tech CU in San Jose

Hi there Fursty, navigate to across the street from the supercharger and it won't precondition.

There is no option on my 2019 MS to test the battery health under the HV Battery option. I can get into service mode and everything else seems to be there except the Battery Health test. Any other legacy MS owners tried this?

I agree, but should there not be some compensation for those who purchased FSD and had to wait years for an actual operational and useable version while putting endless miles on the vehicle and diminishing its useable life? This is my primary gripe. I understand that it was sold as part of the...

My MS is getting this error in service mode. There is little to no information on this error on the forum. Some say they are reporting it to Tesla but there has been no follow-up. What gives?

I can get to the service menu, but under the HV Battery option there is no option to initiate a battery health test. Is this because of legacy issues? Did they remove it? Is it geofenced in Austin?

I'm having some very weird bugs since upgrading to 10.69.25 as well. Was unable to cancel navigation destination in the middle of the drive. Also swipe right on nav box no longer seems to load your home address. As for FSD, the same left turn I have been making successfully for many months...

Take a look at TeslaFi. This year they are updating everybody in a random sort of way. Legacy cars get it too, some were among the first to get it. Mine came in last night, last year I did not get it until after Christmas. As with all legacy cars - no external speaker, no internal camera...

Hate this "feature", it is now the single most irritating aspect of the beta. I try to keep the car in the left lane, then 2 to 3 miles before a right turn it will tell me it is changing lanes to follow the route, get ove to the right r, and then quickly moves back to the left lane with the...

I charged multiple time there over the weekend. Roundabouts working on both sides of I-25. I'd say it is better but lots of potholes and construction happening. Funny thing is that I always use the new V3 chargers on the left and almost everyone else charges at the older V2's. There would be...

If they want to make a poor choice over a perceived political bias then it's their loss. Does not bother me at all.

2022.20.19 is FSD beta 10.69.2.4. Duped no more.

It should be part of the value of your loss and covered by insurance. Should be even more-so with Tesla Insurance. It will be very interesting to see what happens.

Legacy owners with cars made in 2019 and before don't care, because they all have free unlimited supercharging. I have a wall charger and pay only $.15 per kWH at home, but I still use the two very nearby V3 superchargers for well over half my charging because its fast and free and I am there...

I'm betting the new HPWC solves the problem.

I had good luck with Tech CU - Technology Credit Union in San Jose. Tesla recommended them and they were very easy to work with. Not sure what their current rates are as I have since moved the loan to a Texas CU, but they were very competitive. Only fee was a $25 minimum deposit.

Hmm. Curious how he measured the 105 amps. I am not an electrician but it seems a 50 amp breaker should pop right away on a 105 amp load - certainly before the wiring starts to smell. Maybe some of the electrician crowd here can chime in on this. But that aside it sounds like there is a...
