    12 Month fuel savings

    Thought I would also throw in some degradation data if anyone interested 110k miles worth ! There's was a battery replacement around the 90k mark Can't explain the drop and rise toward the 160k mark apart for software version maybe ? Based on at least 80% supercharging since the start.

    Camping in/with a Tesla

Stick blackout material on the rear windows (cheap stuff from amazon, cut to size and use suction caps) , drop the rear seats, pump up the 10cm thick materasse (raised the boot floor level using kids interlocking 30x30 floor mats...

    S/X mcu2 missing space bar / bottom row

    I couldn't find any diacussions about this bug I came accross and had for almost a year now, even after multiple updates. After watching Disney+ the bottom row of the keyboard has gone. Only way to fix it is by doing a 2 scroll wheel reset. Then all fine until next time I open Disney+ I also...

    Attitude of some people..

    I was actually was trying to be helpful not trying to Police anything and most certainly wasnt trying to create a problem. If it had been an 'unlocked' charger, then i would have asked them if they needed assistance with the App would have also suggested parking slightly differently as to only...

    Attitude of some people..

Pulled up and these guys were hogging 2 spots on a busy Sunday afternoon around 3pm... lady said 'what? do you need it ?' when I pointed out that they shouldn't be here... luckily there was one other available for me.. then they moved their...

    Sudden Loss of connectivity

    Forgot to say, I have free unlimited connectivity. Since Mcu2 upgrade, netflix seems to place me in NL, guessing it must be a Dutch sim they use. Still nothing, total loss of connectivity, really frustrating.

    Sudden Loss of connectivity

    I literally have the lost connectivity icon, no connection at all. Wifi (hot-spot phone) does work. Just happened suddenly, seems very odd.

    2014 Model S P85 for sale

    S85 battery pack issues

    Day 10, Service center still don't have an idea on the replacement pack, apparently they are still trying to source one, no ETA. Has any UK owners had their 85pack replaced under warranty recently? Would like some feedback. Thanks

    Accidentally charged my Tesla to 100% last night. Will it explode?

    Ah was that your X parked in the Ecotricity CHADEMO bay in Bristol Ikea? Our leaf was dying of thirst ! then got stuck in that horrible tokyo festival traffic (was it really 40 000 people?)... cant wait to get my MS back from the SC !

    S85 battery pack issues

    I guess its all about the elon lottery now for me. But from what i read, europe get the reman packs. I am also surprised to see some packs fail at 50k miles, with almost no supercharging, and generally maxed at 80% charge, and others (like the Polish guy who bought a used NL taxi) manage to...

    S85 battery pack issues

    SC said it will be a reconditioned pack with at least same range but werent willing to tell me what that range is nor what their process is of calculating it. How would i know if its a new vs reconditioned pack?

    S85 battery pack issues

    Quick update. SC confirmed HV pack needs replacing under the 8 year warranty. However they also told me the replacement reconditioned pack will only have remaining warranty balance of the current pack. Is this the norm? Maybe i misread one of the posts, but i thought there was a full year...

    ..hey ho, hey ho... off to SC we go.... gutted that i need to pay for recovery considering it looks like the HV needs replacing under warranty.

    S85 battery pack issues

    So, update time... car constantly reported 99% charge and yet the range kept dropping. Didnt make it in time to drive it to the SC. When i got home the car had completely shut off. Time for recovery.

    S85 battery pack issues

    Not sure my issue is (warranty) degradation which , i assume, would be normal to see and just standard wear and tear but my sudden error message and the fact it wont charge above 61% all of a sudden feels more like a faulty pack ? Certainly hope its resolved quickly and i get a pack which gives...

    Hi guys, thanks for the info. Update happened 3 days ago.. last 2 nights plenty of failed sleep attempts, however it did sleep once last night (for the usual 59mins). I do have Tezlab installed that i tested but decided to go with Teslafi as the i am a bit of data nerd. If i change Tesla...

    Hi All, not sure if right place to post and apologies if already been mentioned. But since 2021.4.18.2 my MS85 (mcu2 upgraded) has not gone into sleep mode once. Upto 2021.4.18 it would always sleep regular intervals of 59mins throughout the day/night. Wondering if anyone has noticed same thing...

    Wow came on to TMC to find info about the new 2021.4.18.2 (i have mcu2 in my MS 2014 AP1) as since the update yesterday, my car hasnt 'slept' once (verified by Teslafi) and instead got drawn into reading this entire post ! Been a long time since i was actually happy to be late for work...

    [UK] 2021.4.x

    Installed 2021.4.15 at around 2am today. Since udate car wont sleep :( Paid £1400 to get it upgraded about 3 weeks ago ;) as I was having all sorts of emmc issues. Otherwise in the information details on center screen, mcu1 would show 'Tegra' (old Nividia SOC) and MCU2 shows 'Intel / Atom' i...

    Octopus Smart Meter Experiences

    Moving onto Octopus then onto Go was hassle free for us. then took about another 3 or 4 days to get onto Go Faster. Only issue for me is they havent put me on the correct time window that i requested, and seems to be a nightmare to get any information and get this sorted. Otherwise, overall...

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    not sure what i did exactly as i tried many things. But here are basically the steps which may or may not work initially depending on your gmail settings: I created a free game account on RuneScape website on my phone (account creation using google account). Opened mcu2 web browser and logged...

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    Mcu2 upgrade done! Reminds me when i switched from iphone 3g screen to galaxy oled screen ! Wayyyyy better display ! Its a very expensive upgrade just to get netflix/youtube additional functionality but overall i think its good value, even on ap1 car, due to the ridiculous emmc issues...

    MS MCU upgrade or not?

    I didnt know about the £2000 cost, i hope they will honor my 31st visit at £1400. Is this cost also £2k for non AP and AP1 cars ? Or more specifically for AP2+ cars? I do see the value in stress relief! Knowing the car either needs to, or will one day, lag, bug or even worse breakdown just...

    £1400 MCU2/HW3 upgrade - no 4G.....?

    This is where i am confused still though as another user had mcu2 upgrade done at Bristol, and they put his sim from his mcu1 into it, which only gives him 3g, even though the mcu2 itself has LTE compatibility. The question here is, are we supposed to get 4g connectivity or compatibility with...

    MS MCU upgrade or not?

    Sorry if i misread but have Tesla Bristol agreed to have the car back and put in a 4g sim? At no cost? Can you point me to where it is written , so at least i have something to show them, as they do seem pretty incompetant reading some UK owner posts.

    MS MCU upgrade or not?

    I think the issue stated above by Spacey reflects my issues and many others who have outdated bearly usable mcu1 / emmc / crashing and bugs etc... I see that 3g will be turned off sooner rather than later and as I drive ( will be driving,) alot all around europe, it makes sense for me to get...

    MS MCU upgrade or not?

    Bit concerned about all that ! Feel sorry for you and certainly dont fancy all that hassle, it's totally unacceptable even ! Just checked the Tesla UK webpage about MCU upgrade, and it actually states LTE capable modem in the features table, improvements column... has the wording been...

    £1400 MCU2/HW3 upgrade - no 4G.....?

    Hi, Must admit i am also confused by this as i have also read somewhere that mcu1 3g will be replaced with mcu2 to 4g/LTE. And yet, when i spoke to the service centre not so long ago to book the car in for the mcu2 upgrade, the person i spoke to said it would stay on 3g after the upgrade. A...

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    Perfect thanks for clearing that up! After reading an hour this thread, looks like i need to check all app features before driving off and create an account on a game i will never play just to get my youtube premium setup? Anything else i missed which i need to know after the upgrade? Also, can...

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    Hi guys, i did ask this question in my post but thought i would ask here. I am planning on getting mcu2 upgrade for my 2014 MS85. I read there are known issues with main screen bubbling and yellow tint which so far my car doesnt suffer from. However, do Tesla swapout the old main screen when...

    MS MCU upgrade or not?

    One more question. Do tesla replace the main display when they do the mcu2 ? I have read lots of comments about the mcu1 main display bubbling and yellow tint after a certain time, so worried i might do the upgrade and in the near future will have issues with the display.

    MS MCU upgrade or not?
