    Mysterious "Power" display in cluster screen

    That's it! Just prior to the PRIOR update, I set the analog clock to the left screen. That explains it. Thanks.

    Mysterious "Power" display in cluster screen

    Model S - What's This Screen? by Brick Pilot posted Jan 18, 2017 at 3:12 PM Not sure how this "Power" display popped up in my cluster screen. Any ideas? it has survived for a few days now, even through an update. The Motor Amp value goes up to 1025A when I floor it. Kind of interesting...

    2014 Tesla Model S P85+. $80,500. No Autopilot. LOADED, with every option available. - No Longer Ava

    Indeed. He is asking 80.5, but says he is turning down an offer from Tesla for 81? Something doesn't quite add up.

    Proactive Contactor Replacement

    Today I received notice from my SC in Bellevue, WA to bring my car in. Here's what my Service Advisor said: "Engineering has identified your car as potentially benefitting from a switch and power supply update. The technicians will evaluate your high-voltage system and determine whether it...

    interior leather showing wearing signs after just 100 miles?

    I have wear like you are describing on my driver's seat. I have a 9/2013 P85+ with gray performance interior. The seat edge looks kind of swirled after a year of use.

    If you do not mind, Please post your trade in offer from Tesla so we can compare note

    My car is a P85+, black on gray interior. $115K new on 9/12013. Tesla offered me $76,800 trade in and said it was firm because the 2nd buyer doesn't get the $7500; federal tax credit and WA sales tax waiver. I'm not in agreement with that logic, and I declined their "generous offer". I'm...

    Plugging into USB instantly crashes both screens

    I leave my music HD plugged into the USB port all the time. It doesn't seem to affect startup in the least.

    "Balloon squeal" acceleration whine gone with 6.0

    I received my 6.0 OTA update this morning. After the update, my balloon squeal sound I used to hear during hard acceleration in my P85+ is gone. Has anyone else noticed this as well?

    Service wait time on park assist problem

    Does this error indicate a problem with your parking sensors? If so, it is probably seen by the SC as a noncritical error, and not something that need immediate attention. Bellevue WA SC doesn't seem this backed up. Each time I've contacted mine, my problems (rotor hum, fishtailing, 12V...

    Lost both keys to my MS, and the service was outstanding!

    I certainly hope it was replaced. The Ranger had a laptop plugged into a jack behind the left-side dash panel, and he had the carpet pulled back in front of the passenger's seat, and I saw some bolts bolts, and saw a new flat module on the seat (I think). I didn't see the old unit. The new...

    Lost both keys to my MS, and the service was outstanding!

    Yes, I'm that guy; I lost both keys to my MS. I'm just scatterbrained that way. And, yes, I turned the house and garage upside down for 2 days trying to find them. So, today I wrote Maddy at Tesla Bellevue (WA) and she let me know that besides the two keys, a new Body Control Module (BCM) is...

    Thoughts on the HPWC, Feedback from Licensed Electricians on my Q

    Check the insulation on the 6ga wire in the HPWC and you will find that it is rated much higher than you might expect: 105c. I wired my home HPWC with 4 ga 105c wire and I'm drawing 70A (set on the HPWC DIPs) and it barely even gets warm. It should be noted that the HPWC is located 2 feet from...

    Checked Alignment: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

    A Whopper of a Fishtail Not really, but I thought I'd pass along my story, just in case there are others of you in a similar situation. A week back, My P85+ with 1800 miles started to fishtail during hard acceleration and deceleration. By "fishtail", I mean that the rear end would sway...

    Browser unusable on new v5 S85 delivered on Sept 9th

    My browser worked fine during the walk through at delivery, then hung at the short-fill "Loading.." bar just after I arrived home. I called the 1-800 service number on the card in my glove box, and they recommended the "double long-press reboot" (click and hold the buttons on the wheel). It...

    Poll: How long did it take for the keyfob "string" to snap from your keychain?

    My string hasn't broken yet (2 weeks old). I take good care of it, but I may opt for a full vinyl wrap to protect the paint on the fob. ;)

    Premium Interior Lighting

    I have the Euro-package(?) lights on my P85+ with Tech Package delivered on 8/29 in WA, USA. I also had 5.0 installed at delivery. Honestly, I never even noticed the strip lights under the door armrests, nor the puddle lights under the front seats lighting the rear passengers' feet. They are...

    21 inch wheel lug nut size?

    Agreed, that is why I am using a torque wrench. it is very different than an impact wrench. I figured out my problem: The plastic lug caps. I didn't realize they were NOT the lug heads. I pried them off to reveal the shiny chrome lugs. My thin-walled socket worked fine. Socket...

    21 inch wheel lug nut size?

    EDIT: Yes, it is 21mm. ;) I removed the plastic cap on the lug nut to reveal the lug nut. I had no idea it was a cap! Thanks for the help, guys.

    Pano Roof

    I received my P85+ w/pano a week ago, and there is no noise. I asked my DS about it when I picked up my car, and he said the "mod was performed at the factory". Sounds like they have it licked.

    Grey vs. Black?

    I have black exterior, with gray interior & lacewood (am I the only one?). I've never owned a black car before my MS, and have both a little silver "speeder" and a dark gray Jeep Cherokee. Keeping it clean? Yes, every little speck of anything shows up on the paint, but I live in the Seattle...

    No MVPA, with car scheduled for delivery in 2 days. Is that normal?

    I finally heard back from Ben, my DS here in Bellevue, WA. He said he has gotten really busy with all of the deliveries happening in my area, and checked on my car (stuck on a broken-down car carrier in CA, but still scheduled for a late delivery). He sent me the MVPA DocuSign link via email...

    No MVPA, with car scheduled for delivery in 2 days. Is that normal?

    Actually, the HPWC allows a number of charging current options, and the installation guide (See Page 10, step 5) describes corresponding wire gauge options from 14 down to 4, with a 3 gauge recommendation for 80A charging (from a 100A breaker). Since that high of a charge current turns the...

    No MVPA, with car scheduled for delivery in 2 days. Is that normal?

    The car is scheduled for delivery this Saturday (two days from now), bit I still haven't received my MVPA, although my Delivery Specialist (DS) said it would be emailed weeks ago. I'm starting to get worried. Like most of you waiting for your cars, I've been on pins and needles. I have three...
