vcor----GREAT tips (I tried them last night and this morning and they worked! Thank you. And thank you everyone for your help. I found an old USB from several years ago that I used back in 2017 in the car. I stopped using it probably back in 2019 or so because the icon stopped showing up and...

EV--how does the Apple Music app work? I am wondering if this is along the lines of what my daughter is thinking about where it does not involve the USB. I don't know how my songs are saved on my computer-----my daughter did it many years ago and loaded it on my I-pod. I-tunes does sound...

EV--yes you are 100% correct. The center console and not the glove compartment. My plugs are in the back wall closest to the back seat in the center console.

Thank you for all the information above. It is greatly appreciated. I will have my daughter read it, and I am guessing she will see the way to go is with the USB option. One last question---once the songs are on the USB, I then plug the USB into the plug in the glove compartment----then what...

Is there a specific USB or USB format I should look in to? I seem to recall years back when I 1st got the car folks were talking about a fat something USB or fat something format. Your feedback above regarding the USB seems like an easy answer. Would I be able to drag to songs to specific...

What is the best way to get songs I have on my computer to play in the car (2017 S)? My daughter will be doing this for me, and she wants nothing to do with a USB. I do have an i-pod if that helps. Or should I get something else? Thank you.

I loved the Zaino. Like you folks, I used it on my corvettes (except my last one----2015 Z06 with 625 HP, which I had Expel put on 100% of it). Initially, I found the Zaino instructions and multi step process to be extremely confusing, but after the first application it really did become a...

Resist, the PPF under the ceramic held up fine, but the ceramic coating itself didn't hold up. There were two problem areas about the size of a half dollar. The 1st one the installer blamed me for not knowing how to properly clean a dirty smudge type blemish on a car---it was a bird drop[ping...

PS----forgot to mention. One PPF installer added a ceramic coating over the Xpel. I did not ask for this 'extra' they gave me free because I was a good customer...........and I found it defeated the purpose of the self healing PPF (the ceramic scuffed, etc. and did not self heal). I had them...

Had Xpel on 3 sports cars before we got our Teslas and loved it. I never liked washing, waxing or polishing my cars-----hated when I was young and hate it today (also too old to do it today)----think it goes back to when I was about 15 and my brother went away to basic training. Every weekend...

EV---think I recall your name from the 'old' Tesla Forum where you were always extremely helpful. I just asked my wife, and we both 'think' it was the Sentry Mode" we couldn't turn off. I seem to recall a little red light would go on went Sentry was on, and no matter what we tried the light...

We do not have the dashcam USB in either car (S and a 3). We tried it when this feature was 1st offered to us, but it was just a pain (recording everything and no easy way to view the relevant pics). The final straw was when we couldn't get my dashcam to shutoff-----no matter what we did it...

I am on the elderly side, so I am asking for your patience. Up until last week I was able to get my USB to work the last few years by unplugging it, waiitng 10 seconds, and plugging it back in. The USB icon would show up and I woud be fine for that day unless the car was off for more than an...

It sounds like a new thread should be started by the OP praising Tesla's service and how they stepped up and fixed his car. Maybe the post heading could be along the lines of "Another example of great customer service from Tesla."

I have the exact same issue as SedonaGerry. It started about 3 years ago---also lost my streaming favorites at the same time----guessing one of the updates messed things up. I now have to remove the USB for 5-10 seconds, then plug it back in. After about 10-30 seconds the USB icon shows up...

Dumb question from this end------are you sure the doors are unlocked before trying to remove the charger? Sorry, but that is all I have.

5150-----tried your suggestion a few times with no luck. Then gave it one last try and SUCCESS. Not only did the port door open, now it seems to work normally------just press the button on the wall charger once breifly, and the door works (at least it did the 5-6 times I tested it). Thank you...

The charging port door on my wife's 2019 3 doesn't (and hasn't for a long time I was told today) automatically open when the button on our home wall charger is pressed. She always has to manually nudge the lower right (I think she said) of the port door, and it opens with no problem. And it...

ATPMSD----I just double checked. The camera, sentry and dashcam are all off. I know sometimes after updates some settings can get changed, but I usually go in and double check. Thanks for the suggestion though. And thanks to both you and Shawn for the USB info. Both my daughter and...

We don't use the tesla cam in either of our cars (2017- S and 2019- 3). The camera was just a huge pita. We couldn't shut it off; it came on every time we started the car and near the end the only way we could get it to go off was to pull the usb. And, ( I realize this is our short coming)...

Thanks EV------I will try removing and reinserting for a few days and see what happens. I have tried it a few times, and one time it worked on a delay of about 10 minutes..........the other times when I was going for 10 minutes or longer I forgot about doing it. I will try it consistently this...

Thank you DerbyDave----my daughter and son-in-law are the computer gurus in our family. I will show them your suggestion and let them have at it next weekend when they stop over. My gut is telling me it has something to do with a Tesla update or something as it has worked fine for years...

For about 2-3 months now I have been having a problem with the USB. I can only get it to work if I re-boot (foot on brake; hold two rollong knobs in until the "T" shows up). However, it stops working if the car sits idle for a few hours (meaning every morning I have to re-boot if I want to use...

If it bothers you----just take them up on their offer to not accept the car. End of story. A few years back we were picking up our car at BMW after some routine repairs when one of their employees hit our car with another car. We saw it happen some 20 feet away from us. And I am not making...

quickstike12---you are 100% on the money. They sent me a notice today saying they will not charge me. I will stop down the SC next week with a box of goodies from a great local bakery...........and give the ranger (do they still call them that) a larger tip than normal when he comes Monday...

We are at 4 years and a 8 days. Bought the car on 9/23/2017. Thank you for the quick responses---greatly appreciated. Glad to know it was covered for 4 years, even if I just missed out. I will make note that I missed it being covered by just 8 days in our exchange of update notes regarding...

Have a 2017 90S that we bought new 4 years ago, Today we got a noticification that the 12v battery needs to be replaced soon as software updates won't complete until it is replaced. Cost is a little over $200, and I was just wondering if this was covered under the warranty----just seems funny...

I have been reading these forums for a few years now and the 'build quality' is a tough one for me. Did Tesla fix the 'build problem' issues for the vast majority of those that were unfortunate to encounter them, or did they stick it to most of these customers? And were these 'build quality'...

We have had Xpel Ultimate on several cars (and we currently have it on about 90% of the S, and my wife's 3 is 100% covered). Highly recommend not putting anything else, ceramic or wax, etc., on top of the Xpel. I put the Xpel on the car mainly to keep it looking good and to keep maintenance to...

PCMc----great information. Thank you. Prior to posting we did what you outlined above and saw the car had the free lifetime Premium Connectivity, but we couldn't find any information on how to activate the Traffic Visualization. We thought that it got disconnected somehow---maybe with the...

PCMc---just curious. What are the other two icons for?

PCMc------thanks a million. We had no idea those icons where there----and yes the traffic light icon was off. Just turned it on will test it out tomorrow. You made two older froum members very happy. Thanks again.

We have a 2019 3 and a 2017 S. The Premium Connectivity (traffic visualiztion) works great on the 3 and is non existent on the S. We bought the S new in 2017 and from what I read we should get the service for free for life with this car------any ideas on how we can get the traffic visualiztion...

Gasaraki---in my case the body shop ordered the two bumpers through the local Tesla SC. Haven't heard if that practice has changed, but was in the shop a few weeks go and they never mentioned anything---and I know they have been working on Tesla's all along.

I've had both the front and rear bumpers replaced on our S (as an aside--for both bumpers I was at a complete stop when I got bumped) by our local, reputable shop that did a great job on a corvette I had (tree fell on it). Notably, at that time the local Tesla place encouraged me to go to my...

Thought I was going crazy, but then my grandchildren noticed it as well. To all of us, it appears that the size of the camera view on the main screen has shrunk by a good inch. Left to right is about 8 1/2" wide as always, but now the up and down is around 5 1/2"------we think it was a good...

Traded in my 2017 torch red C7 Z06 with 650 HP and 650 torque for our 2017 Tesla S. Just couldn't justify having the Z06 sit in the garage unused for 5-6 months of the year here in New England (little to no traction in the cold weather---very dangerous to drive starting when the temperatures...

Please note----the flashing metal may be what they use around drier vents, etc. that are vented outside the house versus flashing used on a roof (think the latter is a heavier, thicker lead material). The contractor that was working on our house at the time gave me about a dozen pieces---it is...

We got the Tesla screen for our S, and as you noted, the fit wasn't good. To 'fix' the screen I got several pieces of flashing metal (real thin metal squares they use in some roofing situations as flashing). I then cut the squares to fit into the corners (kitty corner) and in and in the...

"S" it is clear you are a BMW fan and not a Tesla S fan----after reading the responses it is unclear why you started this thread other than to entice responses you could disagree with. Why else would someone go on a Forum and just knock the main product of that Forum? Anyhow, comparing the BMW...

Some people like vanilla ice cream while others like chocolate chip-----we couldn't get rid of our BMW's fast enough. Most uncomfortable cars I have ever ridden in over the last seven decades.

Sorry for any confusion. Gearchruncher is 100% correct-----I swapped out the pads only on the vettes. What may scream entire brake jobs to some, may only scream brake pads to those of less knowledgeable about cars. I am the 1st to admit I know zilch about cars, but I do know that with my...

I would always swap out the OEM brakes on my Z06 corvettes for the ceramic brakes to reduce the brake dust. If I recall correctly, I had to go on the Corvette Forum to get the brand of the proper ceramic brakes as a lot of them made a very high pitched squealing noise----so loud that it would...

How can I get folders from the USB to show up in the row of 'recently' played? For 2+ years they would show in the 'recent' row and then several months ago after an update or reboot they vanished from the recent row, and I have no idea how to get them back there. Thank you in advance for your...

Just be aware that all types go to these car shows---most folks are wonderful, but.......there are plenty of nuts and jealous people out there. Don't be surprised if a ring leader of a small group of 2-3 starts challenging you on the millions of car fires caused by the batteries (and of course...

New member here and Ist time posting -------I am on the older side and not tech savvy at all. Use the computer for rare emails (entire family now does texting 99.9% of the time on the phones) and for the Tesla sites like this one. For what its worth, I find this site to be be very professional...
