    2024.2.2.1 odometer display problem, pre-Autopilot Model S

    Thanks for merging this, I searched “odometer” and “font size” plenty before submitting but came up with nothing. Now yesterday, as if aggravated by my post, the “No regent braking”, “No traction control” and “No ABS” warnings are on my dash, just like they were almost exactly one year ago...

    2024.2.2.1 odometer display problem, pre-Autopilot Model S

    Moderator note: Merged from a different thread. Not sure when this started, but presumably in the recent "recall" update that fixed the fonts for brakes, et al: Dig that fancy right-justification! Anybody seen this, or is it peculiar to my low-featured 2014 MS85?

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    I’ve noticed this too on recent versions. But it happens quite frequently for me, at least once per song, often 2-3x per song. Super annoying, and it used to work fine with the same usb stick. I still can’t index my ~10k-song stick that used to work fine (and has no problem playing / copying to...

    V11 2022.4.5 doesn't remember USB source

    @TunaBug - just read your post, after I posted previously. I don’t have a glove box port, but will investigate any software switch that might disable USB music. But I don’t think there is one, unless it’s new. It used to just display the icon if it found music. Seems like both ports being bad...

    V11 2022.4.5 doesn't remember USB source

    @Kevy Baby - yes, something else is going on. “Switch to USB” voice command used to work great - when it used to find music on my USB stick. Now it just doesn’t. I’m using a 128GB stick, almost full. It used to take several minutes to index the stick, but once it did, it kept the index around...

    Refresh Map Auto-Center/Auto Zooms with 2023.6.8

    Yes, it was a $5000 option that came with other features, some software-only, some hardware (like rear hatch lift and, believe it or not, parking sensors, which I also do not have). But all cars have the map, and it includes locations for Superchargers, which is useful of course. Or used to...

    Refresh Map Auto-Center/Auto Zooms with 2023.6.8

    My 2014 doesn't have navigation. It just shows a map. I still like seeing the map zoomed out because I can see traffic, but it doesn't stay. Presumably because I don't have a navigation destination set, because I can't. It used to work. My guess is that they changed the way it worked when...

    V11 2022.4.5 doesn't remember USB source

    USB music hasn't worked for me in a long time; several software releases. The same stick that worked "perfectly" (using voice commands to resume playback) now never indexes. I never see a USB input on the console. Tried another stick, and same thing. Same USB port will charge my phone, so I...

    Refresh Map Auto-Center/Auto Zooms with 2023.6.8

    Anybody discover whether there's a way to set the zoom to where you want? I don't want auto-center either, I want to zoom out with my destination on-screen in one corner, and my current location in another. Like, oh, every single other map/navigation app I have on my phone. If I want it to...

    "Steering Assist Reduced" invoice shock! $3600!

    Late reply, sorry. After drying out for a few days, the cat went back to totally normal operation - no errors, nothing. I drove it for about a week with no issues. There was intermittent but not torrential rain. After a week, I took it out of the driveway and got about a mile down the road...

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

    Well, you gain a working web browser too. But if you pay the extra $500 for the FM radio to not go away, you get a radio that works like s***, has frequently-choppy sound, and is choppy as you change volume. They underestimated the number of customers that rely on FM because of lack of LTE...

    Potentially 1st Tesla

    Let me give you my experience with a 2014 S 85 that I bought in Apriil 2020. It had 340k miles on it (now 360k), original battery, drive unit replaced early on. It has been the most expensive car I've ever had to maintain, and that after owning 5 Audis and a BMW 7-car. My previous car was a...

    "Steering Assist Reduced" invoice shock! $3600!

    @Tetonhappy -- I'd like to pick up on this thread if you're still around. Where is that connector?? About two weeks ago, while driving, my 2014 S 85 came up with the same list of messages (no regen, power steering reduced, ABS disabled, traction disabled). I got home and tried it the next...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    Hey! I've tried every incantation otherwise mentioned in all these forums, and that's the first time one worked. Thank you, oh thank you @Kevy Baby ! Still not quite right, but at least it's something and I think I can mostly enjoy USB music again. I note that the USB icon doesn't appear...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    It's crazy -- I just installed 2022.40.4.1, and the announcement page said exactly one thing: Radio station logos are now... fixed, or better or something. This is the only fix that Tesla thought was worth calling out on the install, and yet they still can't make USB start where it left off...

    2014 tesla s 12v dies in 5min

    Well, I came home and the car started and drove fine. Everything seems to work, no notifications. Hmm. The notification I got was not specific to the 12v battery, so now I'm a little suspicious of other problems. I was able to look in where the battery is (hidden in the corner behind the...

    2014 tesla s 12v dies in 5min

    I'm not too sure; I've only had the car 2 years but it has 360k miles on it. Ug, just got a quote and updated appointment from the SC. First they were going to send out a mobile tech on Monday. Then they sent this attached quote and said that I need to have the car towed in because of...

    2014 tesla s 12v dies in 5min

    This sounds almost exactly the problem I'm having. It just started recently, after the 2022.26(?).2 release. Now I'm getting a warning that the car is undrivable, won't start, and it sure seems like the 12v battery is dead or near dead. Pushing on the brake pedal has the usually short sound...

    Mobile Connector GFCI Tripped

    Good news on the $200 mobile charger! Bad news, now out of stock. I don't know how old this charger is; could be 8 years but I've only owned the car for 2. The mobile charger wasn't used by the previous owner, who kept his wall charger.

    2022.24

    No fix for USB music in 2022.24.5. The only thing that appeared on my list of improvements was something to do with saving favorites with the driver profile or something (my '14 S 85 doesn't even have profiles). No mention of the slightly (just enough to be annoying) redesign of the speedo...

    Anybody know if 2022.24.5 fixes USB music non-continue problem?

    Mobile Connector GFCI Tripped

    Ugh, I'm having the same problem, but only intermittently also. I hate to spend $400 on a new cord just because the GFCI in the cord is getting flaky, but I guess they're not fixable. Nice revenue stream I guess, GFCIs (in outlets that get used regularly) don't last forever. One weird thing is...

    V11 2022.4.5 doesn't remember USB source

    Another complaint here about the USB music-resume cockup. Apparently USB music is just one of those features they don’t care about. Their software QA is my number 1 warning for future Tesla buyers. I can’t believe anyone would trust Tesla‘s software engineering for something like FSD.

    2015 Model S USB ports inop.

    My 2014 that I bought in 2020 had one dead port. Turned out to be the actual port itself - they have a built-in fuse for over-current protection. I was able to take the center console apart and put in a new port from eBay. It wasn’t simple. The only other possibility is that the ports got...

    Dear God, what is this thing?

    I agree that the 2020.20.7 version is a lot of moving stuff around to no advantage. Bit what’s really annoying is stuff that broke. For me, the worst thing is broken USB music resume playback. Now, once I leave the car when USB music is playing, when I come back there is nothing but a QR code...

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

    Saga ending - car back, TuneIn works, all my favorites are there. Had to return the rather nice 100D with all the fixin's. They said they had to pull the MCU2 to fix it. I expect a factory reset would have done it too, but I'm glad to have all my favorites there. Besides the apparent lack of...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    Yeah, I'm certainly concerned about it. I think they come with 6mo warranty? If so, I could have had them replace it, but I'd still be stuck with my slimed IC display ($1500 I think they quoted), so I popped for the MCU2 upgrade instead.
  29. C

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

    Incredible. Here's the update: So after their "senior technician" flobbled around with the same buttons anyone would, not seeing "TuneIn" and then (apparently, making it up on the spot) claiming that the MCU2 upgrade didn't include TuneIn and it would be "three or four hundred dollars more"...

    California. I think these guys just don't know what they're doing. He literally pointed to a place under the left side of the dash where "a tuner" goes. Like TuneIn is some hardware feature. My service rep from yesterday, who concluded after contacting someone higher up that it was...

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

    Wow, okay, saga continues. I am still sitting in the lobby of the Tesla SC. After an hour, they brought the car around and said that "TuneIn is a separate upgrade." WTF? No mention of that in the MCU2 upgrade docs, and no mention when I signed up. I think the guy is blatantly wrong. They...

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

    Is the screen still under warranty though? The eMMC is a recall forced by NHTSA. I had an IC (instrument console, driver screen) "bleed" that had goop slowing filling the screen, and also the dreaded brown/yellow edge on the main screen -- which was only a few months old. It was replaced with...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    I have to largely agree. My eMMC replacement went fine - everything was much faster (except the web browser, which was still inexplicably slow and nearly useless), USB music was magically fixed, and no more weekly reboots and weird hangs. But then my IC screen starting bleeding goo down the...

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

    Wow I sure hope I can get search and favorites. Anyway, got a message from my SC that they need to install some security certificates, and it should work after that. We shall see, will report back.

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

    Much thanks, will give that a try unless I hear something better from the SC today (who is, amazingly, still in contact with me). I'm hoping they might be able to push-fix it, like maybe it's a feature flag that has gone unset. I'll update here, this seems like maybe the wrong thread but it...

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

    Wow, okay -- when you say "factory reset" do you mean something other than two-thumb salute? I just got a message from the SC that it should be on the (entertainment)Settings->Sources menu, and it ain't. Spotify, Tidal, the useless SiriusXM, but no TuneIn. I shall go drive the car to lunch...

    Thanks for all those tips. Good news & bad. The "good" news is that I tested all those things before paying -- and FM radio didn't work. "But I tested it yesterday!" said the tech. Yeah, that test was apparently done before complete reassembly; the cord had pulled out on the last step when...

    Taking in my car for MCU2 this morning. Besides having them verify that FM works when they're done (thanks for that) if anyone has other suggestions I'd love to hear them. I'm taking pictures of the trim and dash to compare, and quickly writing down my Slacker stations so that I can replicate...

    Frustrated with Tesla Service Quotes

    I'm finding the same thing. Got a quote for replacing struts; first quote was ~$2500, then a revised quote that was actually lower (~$1400) because they said they only needed to do two, then the final bill was $2200. Unfortunately, I didn't download the $1400 quote, so when I complained it was...

    Older Model S A/C Service Considerations

    Many thanks for this thread -- I've had my a/c recharged once, about a year ago, and now it's back to poor cooling. Could be a leak, but I'll see about getting the desiccant bag replaced first. That is, if my SC doesn't tell me I need a whole new system/compressor/etc. We have recently had an...

    Thanks, Mike. I'll bring their attention to that and then I guess pop for the upgrade. When they did the eMMC upgrade, they replaced my center screen without cost or mention! It was great - except now, just a few months later, it has yellow edges. Also, my IC screen started to bleed glue or...

    I just got my eMMC upgrade after bringing in my car because of a parking brake issue (turned out to be connector / cable).

    eMMC recall replacement - had 3G to LTE modem replaced for parts cost

    Quick correction: The SC got back to me, and has scheduled replacement of the eMMC! I really should just upgrade to MCU2, but since this is free (and I already have 4G, and actually like having FM) then I'm just going to see how this goes. Maybe I'll upgrade around the end of the year if they...

    eMMC recall replacement - had 3G to LTE modem replaced for parts cost

    Just got an estimate for fixing the error message "Parking brake not fully engaged" (one side seems kaput) -- $1400; that cost assumes replacement of both calipers. When I asked about the eMMC recall fix, I got crickets.

    Hi Ralph. I assume you got your issue fixed. I'm having a similar problem, with a "parking brake not fully functional" message on the dash. For a couple of days, it seemed like both parking brakes were engaging fine, now it seems like only the right side brake is engaging. I got an estimate...

    That's about what I was quoted by the local SC; somewhere over $4k. Again, this is a non-air suspension model.
