    Problems commissioning Wall Charger - solved

    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...

    Should Tesla pay towing for a warranty battery replacement?

    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...

    Replaced HV Battery has EXACTY the same range as the failed one?

    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...

    Stranded 1000 miles from home - MS Battery replacement

    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...

    Phone and connectivity problems after 2022.45.15 update

    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...

    2020 MS Long Range Plus approximate resale value?

    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...

    No one has any answers for PM_w041_dasMIA?

    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?

    No Battery Health test on 2019 MS Service Menu?

    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?

    MS 100D battery drain

    Suddenly experiencing battery drain in my 3 1/2 YO MS. Sitting in my garage (Home), no sentry, no temp change, car idles and sleeps normally, and losing a few percent every day wether I drive it or not. I noticed over the last month that when I charge (home or supercharger) I was losing a...

    Mobile service for MS door handle

    My 2019 MS is 400 miles from the end of the factory warranty. I recently noticed that sometimes the driver handle does not present, or comes out only half way, and yesterday, with my dog inside, it would not open at all and I had to go through the passenger side. So I scheduled a mobile...

    The catastrophe of FSD and erosion of trust in Tesla

    FSD has become a catastrophe, and a dangerous one at that. While most of us wait in the dark, Elon tweets about 10.12 being a game changer yet 90% of the beta fleet has not received 10.11 and remains two upgrades behind with zero indications of why this is... could it be that none of those...

    Range increase in 2019 MS

    Since taking delivery of my MS in 6/2019 I had steadily lost range from 333 new (it was never at the stated 335 even at 23 miles) down to as low as 298 miles. During this time I contacted Tesla twice and was always told there was no real problem other than BMS calibration, and that some range...

    Fastest V3 Supercharge rate for pre-Raven MS?

    I am curious as to the highest kilowatt charge rate obtained by a pre raven MS (or MX) at a V3 supercharger. The best I have gotten is 185kW before it starts to decline in my March 2019 MS Long Range. In all cases my SOC has been below 30% and outside temps were upper 70's to about 90...

    Warranty vs Goodwill repairs

    Last week I had my end of warranty service performed at 47.5K miles and just under three years of ownership. The Service estimate included tire rotation, four wheel alignment, A/C desiccant bag replacement, A/C coolant "recharge" , brake fluid replacement, cabin filter, windshield wipers, and...

    To heck with the Safety Score, today I had fun in my Tesla

    Ever since the beta safety score was introduced I have been super careful, but today I just decided to let it rip and loved it. It's not a Plaid, or even a performance model, it's an uncorked 100D and I had forgotten how fast it is off the mark - wow. Takes me back to when I first got it and...

    Why no Holiday Update for pre 2021 Model S?

    Tens of thousands have received the Holiday update but not a single pre 2021 Model S or Model X? What its up with this?

    Has anyone with a Model S gotten Sentry Live View?

    2021.36.8 promises Sentry Live View to all cars with MCU2 and HW2.5+ but it only seems to be going out to MY and M3 cars. Cars without the external speaker would be limited to viewing only (no external speaker), but should otherwise work - this from the release notes on Not A Tesla App. I...

    30K Miles on my MS - Do I need to do anything to it?

    My 2019 MS 100D just turned over to 30K miles and is 15 months old. At 15K miles I took it to Tesla for a potential alignment and wheel rotation but after checking it out and driving the car the SA said none of that was necessary, that the tires were evenly worn front and back, and I should...

    Nice New TeslaFi feature regarding software updates

    This morning I looked at TeslaFi Fleet management and I noticed that there was a little clock icon next to 2020.32.1 which told me that several cars of my type and configuration were receiving this update in my country - cool!

    1000 Mile Road Trip on 2020.24.6.1 - Never been happier with my MS

    The night before I left to drive from Austin to Quincy, Illinois I received the update and installed it. From the second I backed out of the garage to leave and got the new side camera view I was happy. But it continued to get better! The lead car green light feature is a great incremental...

    HOLD in pre-raven MS 100D w/FSD and 2020.12.11.1

    I have been experimenting with 2020.12.11.1 using the new stop and start features, and yesterday at a light I noticed the car was saying HOLD. I have had the car almost a year and never seen this except once at a broken stop light with the brake pressed and car in drive for a very long time...

    No Battery Performance changed to Non-Performance Uncorked Acceleration

    Tesla seems to have answered the question often asked about "No Battery Performance" listed under Options on many users account pages. Today I looked at my account page and my 100D MS now states: Non-Performance Uncorked Acceleration. This sounds better to me. Anybody else see this change?
