    Not Re-Centering and Heavy Steering Wheel

    Sounds like I'm experiencing what the OP is. 2016 Model S 75D. The steering wheel turns a bit 'heavy', and I usually have to assist in getting the steering wheel completely straightened out after a turn.

    Weak climate control fan. Actually strong fan, weak airflow.

    My 2016 S' heated/cooled air isn't reaching the passenger compartment. It's cold outside. If I turn on the heater, warm air barely trickles in. Even when I turn the fan speed to 11, I hear the fan whirring big time, it's definitely doing its job, but I need to put my hand an inch away from...

    Phone App: iPhone/Android app

    Final update, I think. Replacement tire arrived 10:30 this AM. No update on the Tesla app about the car's location. About 4PM, I got a message on my phone, 'The front driver side window is not fully closed.' I opened the app, yay, the location has been updated, now says I'm at the tire...

    Phone App: iPhone/Android app

    I'll update as necessary. The S still displays the place where I got the flat. It drove off the wrecker to the tire guy's place, I'l guess the S drove 150 feet to the lift. It later drove from the lift to a parking area, maybe 100 feet. Maybe it needs driven 1000 feet or something before the...

    Phone App: iPhone/Android app

    2016 Model S. Got a flat tire yesterday, wrecker got it, delivered it to my tire guy, 20 miles away. Now, almost 24 hours later, the phone app still shows the place where I got the flat, as the S' current location. I closed and re-opened the app, nope, still says the S is where I got the...

    Charging reduced to 8A, can't adjust up, what happened?

    1. Warranty? Probably not, it's > three years old. I s'pose I should check though. 2. What kind of charger? I think it's one of those NEMA 14-50 things, with a plug similar but not identical to a clothes dryer cord. The think black cord was purchased at my Tesla shop, plus a couple...

    I replaced the charge cord. Working fine now.

    Charging reduced to 8A, can't adjust up, what happened?

    My outdoor charger (50A breaker) used to charge my S and my 3 at ... if I recall correctly, 36 or 48A. Now, when either car is plugged, it's 8A, with no arrow on the app button allowing me to increase said amperage. It's been stuck at 8A for 2+ days. And I just noticed, at the top of the...

    Updated to Android app 4.8.0-1025, location is screwy now?

    Before the thread gets entirely hijacked, I'm also dismayed by this latest app "update". I don't see a 'Return map to local view' button anywhere. Someone earlier mentioned service chat, I'm off to do that right now.

    Gen1 and Gen2 charge cords - compatible?

    Thanks for the replies, everyone is correct, everything fits, everything works. >> they changed the format for the adapter plugs, so those can't be swapped back and forth between the two types of cords. Also correct, $45 for the new adapter plug. And $275 for the charge kit itself.

    Gen1 and Gen2 charge cords - compatible?

    Unique 'Tesla'

    Yes. It was the guy who took my fob, gave me a loaner, etc. when I brought my Model 3 in for new glass. I asked 'Oooh, is that a Roadstar?', he replied no, the car was a Lotus, that was converted into an electric. A Lotus with Tesla guts. Based on the previous posts, it appears dude was...

    Cracked Windshield

    I've had to have *four* windshields replaced (two model 3, two model S) the last few years. Each time, my Richmond VA service center scheduled me in ten days or less. Including this last recent time, when I need the windshield *and* top glass replaced. Richmond has taken good care of me since...

    Unique 'Tesla'

    I arrived at my neighborhood Tesla service center this morning to get yet another windshield replaced, and saw this. I asked about it, and got a bit of info before I was yelled at for taking pics inside the holy Tesla building. I was told someone took this Lotus, removed the ICE parts, and...

    Trunk Latch Problem

    >> Just got it working by holding in the trunk button above the license plate for 10 or 15 seconds, then rapid taps of the same button. >> I could hear the actuator pop back to the home position, and now works again! Thanks, hingisfan, worked for me too. What a satisfying sound that was, when...
