On my 2020, there is the settable Dashcam option to save when you honk the horn.

They generally use the old card.

The MCU has a 16GB SD memory card it uses to store Navigation data. For some reason Tesla generally does not replace this card when switching out the MCU, and the early SD cards, 2015 included, were not designed for 8 -10 years use, and fail. I'd sure tell Tesla to replace that first and see if...

With your mom as second, she is jointly (with you) and severally (by herself) for fulfilling the loan. She is underwriting your loan. That should work. These details are handled by the delivering Tesla store. They will be able to help you, but i think this will work out OK, as long as you and...

You didn't say what year car and what size tires you have, but go to Konig configurator and find out what your car needs. My browsing shows the MAX is only for 2012-2021 with 265/35-21 tires. All other year and tire size Tesla S appear to use the non-XL version...

With Tesla, tough to say if intended or the result of buggy programming. :)

This happens occasionally with certain updates. I have found that usually, it is just muted for some reason. Turn the volume up and/or press the mute off and I get sound 9-% of the time. Other solution is a reboot.

My 2020 also doesn't always precondition. I'd be interested in any answers as well.

If there is a dash cam icon on the center screen, you can short press it to save.

It expired 3/31/2024.

I was not aware of that. So 2021+ don't have that feature?

It is really sensitive and picky. Definitely still a work in progress. Once I was letting it park, and it reversed past the spot, past the car parked behind the spot, and then went into a space behind THAT car. Always exciting driving a Tesla.

I use the parking feature on my 2020, but sometimes it is scary fast. I intervene when it looks like it is going to hit something or curb the rear tire. I do not trust it yet.

If range mode is enabled, the DRL will not illuminate. Range Mode (if equipped) conserves energy by limiting the power of the climate control system and turns off the signature lights. Turn Range Mode on by touching Controls > Driving > Range Mode.When turned on in an All-Wheel Drive vehicle...

I don't think the car icon shows DRL and I do not know of any other indications. When the headlights come on because they have changed back to auto (my 2020 does not do this), just turn them off again. The DRL should still be illuminated. The eyebrows are the DRL.

Yes it does. Park in a garage, and/or near a wall in front of the car with low lighting. You can check by turning the headlights off manually, and then putting the car in Drive with the brake applied. you should be able to see each side DRL illuminated against the wall. Alternatively, have...

Take a look at your situation. Electrical outages that last days, blizzards, forest fires, ill or elderly relatives/friends, hurricanes, derailment with hazardous chemicals, etc. Figure out how much reserve you need to accommodate the potential emergency you may experience for the next day(s)...

@MidBaz , my family is also 400 miles away, and my daily use and charge levels are exactly as you describe. I also make a stop before arrival on family trip because no charging near their area, and charge once about halfway.🙂

Also, I take into consideration possible emergency situations and adjust the battery level. If severe weather or power outages are a possibility, up the charge so you can get out of Dodge quickly or last longer until the power comes back on. If you have a family emergency, you want to have...

I see no way that service can do anything. It isn't your car, it is just Tesla programmers who neither you nor service can contact. There are so many "software" related issues so much more important than this that I have been waiting years for Tesla to correct. If you buy a Tesla, you must...

I don't think this has ever worked. I accidently invoked the manual 2 days ago, and it still didn't work. Open up the Tesla App and the Manual is under Service. Read it on your phone, or from your logged-on Tesla account on a webpage on a computer. You can Bookmark it so you can access it...

@CWhite my first year(s) of coding was on punch cards. Things have changed. :)

My 2020 has no visible flaws. What differences would the years make. I believe it is the same supplier, AGP, AGP | "50 Years Glazing The Future". The only difference is the 2021+ has dual pane side glass.

I don't think it is possible anymore not to have a hand on the wheel all the time with the warning system in use now.

There are so many options and variables. This link will give you an immediate result based on what you want. https://www.xcelerateauto.com/xcare

Yesterday, I was stopped at a red light, and the car turned on the left blinker to turn the wrong way onto a major street in town. There were visible street signs posted showing it was illegal, and, I assume the map data would have that the street was one way the wrong way. Anyway, I waited for...

Shouldn't be happening. Report it using service in the app. While things are supposed to work while computers are rebooting, we are still being left to Tesla programming of the systems for this to work, and that requires a confidence level with Tesla competency that is definitely lacking at...

When reported by you and other Teslas, the car will auto raise in a rough area. You can also raise it manually, and make sure "remember this location" is checked. Likewise you can remove remembered location when you return by unchecking the remembered location

Probably within 4 weeks, sooner if one is already available. When you VIN is assigned, it is in production, and then you receive it the next week in your location.

I had created a list on the types of files supported for my 2020 S. There may be more types supported thru updates. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supported-usb-file-types.208751/#post-7552814

High and Very High are temporary settings. The car goes back to normal at 15MPH and 35MPH speeds respectively. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/models/en_us/GUID-F1B6801A-8946-41AD-8CF9-7A963CDA38E4.html

Pretty unusual for an update to fail catastrophically. A reboot using the steering wheel buttons may have corrected it enough for you to get to the service menu and reinstall the software. The bright spot, like you say, is that service was quick to respond. This would cripple me since the...

I actually use a high endurance Micro SD card which is tiny. Put the card into a SD to USB-C adapter. For a MicroSD card...

To me at 6'4", it looks like the protruding center of the headrest will hit me right at the bottom of my neck between my shoulders, and it is not movable. Most airplanes have this same poor design, but some are movable. If it isn't tall enough, it makes your head slump forward all the time.

Yes. Parts replaced under warranty are only warrantied for the remainder of that warranty. Parts you buy have these "Parts" warranties. If you buy a HV battery instead of having it replaced under warranty, the Parts warrant would apply for that battery. If a HV battery is replaced free under...

Look in the Parts, Body and Paint Repair warranty section. Drive Unit*: 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first https://www.tesla.com/support/vehicle-warranty

Turn off the new Auto Speed feature. On mine, it was so slow people were honking. "This optional feature, found under the "Controls > Autopilot" menu, gives the vehicle more freedom regarding its speed, allowing it to keep up with traffic even if it’s higher than the speed limit (which is...

Also, I had to intervene 3 times in 10 miles so don't get your hopes up it drives in the far right of the lane, yet crossed the solid lane on the left for one intervention. I recommend turning off the new auto speed settings, unless you want people to not blow their horns at you for going to...

I just got the upgrade yesterday for my 2020. As far as I have read, you will get it. I was one of the first for legacy cars. The version for us was just published on April 11...

I have never heard of this issue on any other car manufacturer, except very rare instances. I have never had this problem in my lifetime, and luckily my Tesla is fine. It seems this is a continuing issue that buyers need to be aware of. Very strange.

My 2020 had a rated range of 402 miles when new, Long Range Plus with 19" tires. I am down to around 377 now at 100 percent charge. I am good, but there are better on TeslaFi. 385 is normal and pretty good.

This is all disturbing news. Tesla should be inspecting the quality of the glass they receive, and reject the glass and penalize the company that makes it for them if it doesn't meet minimum quality. I don't remember the pre 2021+ S having a big problem with bad glass. There, really, is no...

He says ha adjusts it to zero, but it has no effect.

Reboot.

The 2015 may not have the 4G modem, and the 3G service has been discontinued in the USA, so the older modem will not ever connect to the network in USA, and must be upgraded with a new 4G card from Tesla.

You can only engage FSD by pulling the left lower stalk once. You cannot engage autopilot without going in and disabling FSD. Also, the auto speed control is a joke right now, so you may want to disable that until it gets some more work. Everyone will be honking at you. I don't know if it was...

@dmurphy thanks for clarifying my misreading of @LonelyMS post. :)

The bad temperature sensors need to be checked and/or replaced. This could be a transient problem with timing (slow to respond, etc.) Check it again in a few days and see if it persists. I think if any alert becomes critical, you will see it without running a test.

I never saw Parts in the app. There was a small Accessories section that is still there. You have to use a browser.
