Updated photos and very SLOW... but some... progress. Photos taken a week ago, March 4th, sorry for the delay in posting.

Update on this. I drove by today to check this out. I have not been here before so I don't know if there has been any recent progress, but I definitely found evidence of them planning to install superchargers. I have no idea if some of these pictures mean anything or not, but definitely the...

Thanks I'm gonna do some research and see if I can find a decent regular shop that will do an inspection for free and has experience with Teslas. I'm also gonna reach out to EG because I have a few small things I haven't taken it in for as they weren't major but if I'm bringing it in would get...

Humidity here is almost always 99%. Thanks for this info.

Thanks I'll see if I can find a spot to try that. I live in the city so it will be difficult but I'll try and figure something out. Appreciate the suggestion

Gotcha. No I haven't tried that. I mean I was in bumper to bumper traffic when this happened crawling along at 5 - 10mph. I don't think ABS would need to be engaged to stop the car. I even checked the drive on Teslamate and I was definitely only going around that slow speed. So I am not sure ABS...

Not sure what you are implying. I think a normal response to this kind of scenario is take it to Tesla which I have been trying to do. I had a hard time getting an appointment, and when I did, as it approached they gave me this BS estimate. I was then going out of the country for 2 weeks. When I...

Not sure what you mean by full ABS stops? I haven't had a scenario where I would need ABS to engage like stopping short in the rain or anything. Braking has felt completely normal since "the incident". We had a week of storming here recently but don't think the ABS engaged at any time. I...

I'm pretty sure I saved the dashcam footage, I'll have to check, but no.... that is not what happened. Nobody was rolling, nor smoking. Just me not braking.

You assume wrong, I have to get around so I have been driving it since the issue (about 5 weeks now) and nothing else has come up like it, though obviously it only needs to happen once to be a problem. I was pretty freaked out at first, but everything seems normal, and I can't get to work or do...

I could try taking it to electric garage, they would probably look at it for me without forcing an update, but short of that, I am not sure where else i could take it to have the brakes look at specifically in that manner. Plus having access to the logs is also useful I think for overall...

Yes, I am also worried about them updating my software as an excuse to fix the issue, but you would have to think that...regardless of the software version... the brake should brake. But yes, I am fairly certain they are going to force update me even though they haven't in the past at my...

Was a once off, did not happen before, and has not happened since.

I didn't take my foot off, just pressed harder until it was all the way down...still nothing for a second or two... prepared for an accident, foot still on the brake all the way down, and then all of a sudden it stopped.

Not raining. No ABS engaged. Car was not rolling back to me.

So I am sure I am going to get all sorts of people replying telling me how this is impossible, and the only way this happened was if I was pressing the accelerator. I urge you to keep those replies to yourself as that is not what happened. Here are the details... 2017 S75 RWD. Running...

Don't you mean end of next year? I thought right now, 2016 is the oldest that can get the battery warranty and starting 1/1/24, 2017 is the oldest that can get the warranty. Meaning if you have a 2017 like me, your last chance to purchase the battery warranty would be 12/31/24. Or am I...

Accurate except I don't cover the transponder. There is no need to.

I don't have AWD, but my understanding is on AWD cars it distributes the work between the motors differently. I can't remember if it is 50/50 or 90/10 which is which way, but one of them is more efficient. Range mode enables that efficiency. You lose some "umph" in this mode if you hit the...

That doesn't mean anything. Mine was a lease sold at auction by Tesla to Vroom. There was no record of that in the carfax and still it happened and i lost FUSC. Do not plan on having FUSC if you are buying from a dealer. If you end up having it great, but if you plan for it you may be very...

Not Strange at all. I feel the same way. I like the old interior and screen orientation on my 2017 S.

+1 on my 2017 RWD. My significant other has a 2022 model y, neither of us use the 1 pedal driving option. We tried it, but prefer the roll at the end and either manual hitting the brake for complete stop or tap autopilot

This charger used to have 30 minutes of free parking and so I used it all the time. Now they changed parking fee structure, and there is no free amount. It's about $6+ for the first hour including tax which makes it hard to justify stopping here regularly. It uses the new plate and camera...

I use chill mode only on city streets (and usually so). On the highway I use standard, i have found at times I need the acceleration and if in chill mode I might not get it, so for safety reasons I use standard on the highway.

Reset your phone and don't restore old messages and you should be good to go.

The pitch on one of the forward facing cameras are off, and they physically fixed it at the service center and my issue is resolved.

I haven't updated in over a year (still on v10). Just don't schedule an install and you'll be fine

Yes, i have HW3. Ok, thanks, appreciate it. One more question. On my wife's Model Y, i hate the new small music section/situation. On your screenshot the music is pulled down too far to tell. Is there another level when pulling up the music a little bit (like in v10), and what does it look...

Thanks for the insight! I still think the v10 grey icons look cleaner (the v11 ones look like Android GingerBread version from 2010). But I could live with it. My other concern before updating is the loss of radar on the highway. Is it true that they disabled the radar and are vision only...

Interesting....actually considering finally making the plunge to v11. I'm still on v10. Though to be honest, not sure its worth it at this point. Still really don't see any main advantages to v11 over v10 for legacy. It's not like I would have any new useful features like Blind Spot Camera...

Did they move the navigation controls to the bottom of the screen like in the 3/y? Or did they leave it in the top left?

I am here from the future. It is now 2037. I wanted to warn everyone this problem still persists. If you are planning on Tesla fixing this you will be disappointed. I will check back in a few years from 2050 and let you know if it is fixed then.

Yup, agreed. Everything else works flawlessly (from what i can tell). I mean auto-pilot definitely works without issue. I guess I wouldn't know if the other safety features work unless they are needed and then don't work. For now I turned it off and made an appointment with the service team...

This of course prevents the issue, but then I don't have the feature. Not really the solution I am looking for as mentioned. Yes, I know I likely will need to take it back to service, but wanted to see if anyone else upgrading from 2.0 cameras to 3.0 cameras ran in to this problem.

My 2017 S had its cameras upgraded at the service center last week. Up until then, I have driven the car for years with no problems with the Lane Departure Feature. Since getting my car back, I am constantly fighting with the Lane Departure Assistance. It keeps thinking I am departing my lane...

Same phone, just a replacement. Moto edge plus 2020. Yes, using Google messenger

Problem went away when I didn't restore my old text messages on my new phone last May.

Agreed. I have a 2017 S75 with a sunroof and a round wheel and it works great. I have ZERO interest in a refresh model and wouldn't take it even if I could swap it outright for free. Love my legacy S

Lucky you, my 2017 S has had MCU2 for over a year and still I don't have the invite for cameras... pretty sure I am the last one. However I stopped stressing about it. I decided I'll worry about it once FSD is in a legitimate place. For now, it is still too "beta" for my interests, and I am...

Brent, I definitely want to add drive train and battery coverage to my existing extended warranty on my 2017 S but how does that work if you are only going back 5 years but I still have 3 years on my Tesla drivetrain and battery warranty?

Mine has been working out great, extremely happy I got it. Brent is great, just talk to him, I am sure he will offer you a few options and you can find one that works for you. I hope they offer a battery + drivetrain warranty add-on in the future. Mines runs out in 2025.

I have 4 on order arriving Monday to be installed.

Lasted another 6 months.... time to replace. Now the annoying hunt begins for the "best replacement option". Too many options and opinions, its overwhelming. Leaning towards the pirelli P zero elects though. Looking for comfort, range, and longevity. Live in FL so don't need winter or even...

I'm sure in future builds they will make that target smaller, or random, making it harder to dismiss popups telling you to update ;)

Still no camera update for me. Getting ridiculous at this point.

Still rocking v10 and so glad I am :) I get the popup asking me to install an update every time I get in the car but I prefer to hit the X and keep going with v10 then to upgrade and not deal with the popup Everything with v11 is a downgrade from v10. If you have it, you can live with it...

My personal concern is more about long term damage to my HV battery from the constant cycling

I don't think that's how it works. In my experience, the shop contacts the insurance company for a supplemental if needed. As with all insurance claims, it might go smooth, or you might have to fight with them. This is the nature of all insurance claims across all industries. I don't think...

Not sure where you are located, if you happen to be in South Florida I recommend the "Tesla Doctor". He's a 1 man shop that did any incredible job on my S (working with insurance).

Neither does the Model Y... unless they ADD A/C if you do 7 seater? On our 5 seater Model Y there is zero A/C behind the 2nd row.
