Hi - is this a known thing? I noticed it yesterday - it seems adhesive or whatever is coming loose. Car has never been damaged nor in a car wash. Already set up an appointment with the rangers. Thanks!

Hi gang, Long story short, I was happy with my FSD, but apparently my credit card expired and yesterday the car showed me my autopilot was rolled back - fine. new card, then FSD came and went a few times, now it seems it's back. For the moment. I'm on 2022.44.30.10. Once I lost FSD yesterday...

Hi all, I was ecstatic to get the holiday update, finally FSD beta! anyway, I added a new sod card, and pulled out my dashcam card to protect it. I formatted it for steam, formatted it in steam, but I can’t get steam to download the games onto it, nor does it seem to show up in steam overall...

Hi all, I THINK I have the gist of FSD at the dojo level, but I'm not sure how the dojo rules make it to the car. I'll try to 'splain what I'm asking, and welcome corrections to anything I say that is wrong. What I believe is a zillion video clips are fed to dojo - maybe it's unprotected left...

Hi - I have 2022.40.4 on my S refresh. I had FSD Beta (I guess version 9) for a month in the summer, and thought it was disappointing. then I read Elon opened it up to everyone...and so the day before Thanksgiving I plunked down another $200 - and no FSD Beta 10.X for me. I'm wondering, do I...

(photo from Watt Time - For Your Tesla) About 18 months ago, I ordered my first Tesla (Model S refresh). Then my usual worries and overcomplications got int the way. Hmmm, key cards. Okay. I can hide a few in case I’m ever locked out. Phone as a key? Great idea! Err, what if the battery dies...

Hi all, Can anyone suggest any top sites to sell a new Performance Y to? I know there are the usual suspects, Carvana, Varoom, etc. - anyone have any experience with other sources, preferably in the Northeast, and more granular, New Jersey? Thanks so much!

Hi Gang, I thought I'd let my inner muse free and comment on why I am thrilled I was talked out of the $10k I originally ordered for FSD for my S refresh LR, and glad I tried a $199 subscription which I just cancelled. Mind you, my opinion only, your mileage may vary. Full disclosure - I'm a...

Hi all, when I broke my piggy bank and subscribed for the $199 clams, there were new menu items on my phone and car, and i think i had to reboot the screen to get FSD to activate. Fine, got it. I'm in the beta queue. I have heard there's a freeze and no new invitations for now - regardless...

Hi all, I'm doing the monthly subscription thing. I'm about 13 days into it, and been driving like grandma for about 12. My worst score day was 92, but otherwise my overall score is 96, with many days 100 (i've learned to game the system, use autopilot as much as possible, and grip the yoke...

Hi Gang, It's supposed to hit 97 and sunny here today, and turned off COHP for the first time. (i may switch it back on). I've had the car since January, and even when it's 60 ot 70 out the COHP would trigger. Until yesterday, i would mostly leave the windows vented as well on clear days, but...

Hi - my flaps both seem to have lost the bottom clips. Can I just get some from Amazon or any special sizing? Thanks!

Hi all, Here's a pretty geeky question in case anyone knows the answer. I used to program in ia former life - and i can envision subroutines for say, autopilot, and then FSD - "if you see an object, avoid it" - okay, kinda got that. Then Tesla bought a multi billion dollar or whatever...

Hi all, I'd had my refresh for a couple of months now. early on, the calendar synced, and the car knew to go to the location set on the calendar at that time - that was GREAT! since then, no love. no calendars showing up. I have several I use including the Samsung native, google (not much) and...

Hi - I scheduled a tint for next weekend - my neighbor's Plaid looks great with it. He went carbon for $300 - the same shop said ceramic is $400 so I'm planning on that direction. 1) can anyone tell if there really is a heat difference? 2) i think my neighbor went 20% side and rear windows, and...

Hi all, I seemed to notice some things yesterday following this update (which I kinda regret doing) - it seems garbage cans now flash on the screen, and my autopilot went from working reliably to rarely working, and when it will engage, it seems to want me to get my hands on that yoke right...

hi all, i posted my woes on another thread but thought this post might be more on the nose - and perhaps if anyone else has this issue they can chime in. My brand new baby has been at the service center over 10 days now - 1,000 miles - I've done launches (not dragstrip) before, and this time...

Hi all, so, my new baby is about 2 weeks old, with 1,055 or so miles on it. error codes DI_a012, a061, 081, 082, might have others. was perfect until last night. was showing off insane made - got the green light that my buddy was ready, floored it, and got the customary laughter. got a green...

Hi all, I'm trying to get a game controller to work on the refreshed S. so far I tried the logitech 310 and a usb c to usb a adapter and got no luck - the car recognizes there is a controller, but i can't do anything with it - i've tried D and X modes (little switch on back) and the mode button...

Hi all, I'm knee deep into range anxiety. Not my commute, or even romps. I did drive about 400 miles on Sunday, my first "big boy" trip with the car. Early in the day, i did a 100 mile round trip, that used up about 40%, so i think 80% to 40%. the car was preconditioned, there were 4 of us...

Hi all, I'm trying to be smart about the preconditioning, etc. We have the same electric rates here, but I'm trying to "game the system" (even as Tesla says to). Not sure I'm doing it right. Let's say I want to leave week days at 8:15 a.m. I have off peak set to 9 a.m., and let it know I want...

Hi all, just about 24 hours with my new baby (okay, been in the office and asleep for a bunch of them). I can't figure out what service Tesla is using for premium connectivity - is it on the backbone of spotify or something else? I found I can find ALMOST any song i ask for. otherwise, I get...

Hi Gang, I picked up my new baby S yesterday after 8 months of waiting. I'm not sure if it is even a Long Range like I ordered, or a debadged (and depowered) Plaid. Either way, it's my new baby S. I had test driven a M3 and MY once or twice each, and it's hard to really get to know a car after...

Hi - i left a longer write up on the delivery thread, but in a nutshell, i got an offer i'm satisfied with on autotrader - it's less than i really want, but nobody is breaking down my door, and it is $11k more than the trade in or third party companies (carvana, givemethevin, varoom, etc.) this...

Hi all, I've already started checking the app less since I received my VIN yesterday. Yes, making sure it didn't go away! So far, I've done a few things in anticipation of my new baby: 0) ordered and had installed the wall charger 1) ordered TF cards for sentry and music, including adapters...

Hi all, I know this can boil down to taste and opinion. I also know some folks swear by PPF, and others...don't. I'd rather not drop $7k if I can help it. I heard a good PPF installer will remove lights, door handles, etc. - I'm not sure I want to go in that direction. I've had multiple new...

Hi all, I'm as usual fixating on my future car. I'm wondering, if I lost my phone, wallet, etc. and had a valet key locked in my glove box, would i be able to call tesla and have them unlock the car? would i be able to have them unlock the glove box, or somehow act like a remote key and allow me...

Hi Gang, let's commiserate together as we share some data points! I started a different thread yesterday, for blue/white and I saw some interesting trends. Some folks think the monkey completely disregards the RN sequence, I don't quite agree, but at the same time, there are certainly "line...

Hi - I thought I'd kick this off in case there are any other Blue/Whites refreshing 27 times/day like I am. I've held steady at 12/3 - 12/31 for about 6 weeks now. NJ, RN 1149, ordered May 2021, added FSD about a month later (2/3 because I want it, 1/3 because I thought I might get the car...

hi all, as I wait for one Tesla, I ordered another? I have the wall charger installed, maybe 60 amp service (originally set by electric8an cor 50, now 60) anyway, I’m trying to decide, do I get a second charger, is one enough, can I run multiple with master/slave and WiFi, do I get another...

Hi - my wall charger went in last night. my local electricians are good, but I'm concerned. when they quoted me back in June, I let them know I wanted 60 amps for the charger. the run was to be roughly 125 feet. i was told they'd use 4 gauge, i even thought there was talk of aught gauge...

Hi all, is anyone using a smartwatch to unlock their car, etc.? I just bought a Galaxy Watch 4 that I believe should also do the trick - the apps I've read about say to have the valet key with you, as the watches require internet to unlock - I've never liked any of the android watches though I'm...

Hi All, My delivery is presently set for December 14 - January 3 (but in Telsa time, who knows what century?) Anyway, if, IF those dates hold true, from what I understand, I'd still be getting a 2021.5 model. I read different things, that Tesla calls their last quarter the next year's date, or...

Hi All, I'm trying to learn more about the headlights. In recent past I thought I heard folks say they weren't great in the past, not sure if any better now. I read the manual earlier today about the lights, and I see there is adaptive (or active?) headlights - that follow the steering wheel. I...

Hi all, I had my wife test drive a Y this Saturday at the SC. The range started at 270. the SA spent roughly 10 minutes, possibly less, 'splaining to her (as I stayed quiet which was hard for me). The AC was one. Off we went, mostly local streets, and a two or three lane road in each...

Hi all, I can barely spot an S from a 3 - can anyone share tips so I can tell when I see a refresh? Obviously if I see a yoke I'll spot it instantly, but otherwise, how can I tell? Thanks for any tips!

Hi all, My local electrician (sizable company) quoted me about $2k for the wall charger install. that's for roughly a 125 foot run for 60 amp service, I THINK 00 gauge wire (double ought?) and it has to run from the circuit panel on the far side of the house, into the attic, across, and back...

Hi all, I don't know if this is old hat - if so sorry. I stumbled across this video - of a young Elon Musk taking delivery of a McLaren F1 in 1999, I don't know if the car was a cool $1MM or not - some of these are now like $13MM. My favorite part? The supercar could go 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. My...

Hi all, I know radar is gone on the 3 and Y, and I guess being phased out for the S and X? I get that per Elon, the vision system is as good or even better. But, there's one place I can't imagine vision would work as well - and that is in front of, the vehicle in front of you. Yes, vision can...

Hi - I'm in Central New Jersey and probably won't drive more than a few states away in any direction. There are a bunch of superchargers around, however I watched a Ford video today - and I forgot the name of the charging network - I imagine if I know what networks are around in gap areas...

Hi all, do we know if the S has gigapressed parts like the Y? I haven’t read that if so. also, curious, anyone have an idea, if the parts are in stock, how long from the time they start the build until that car is done? Thanks!

Hi All, We know the Plaid is quick. Like tap the brake so you don't get thrown off the dragstrip quick. I was hoping to hear from someone who received or at least tried out an LR to give their impression - I expect it to be quick, and for a guy like me, I doubt I could tell the difference...

Hi all, When I test drove a 3 and Y a couple of months ago, it was only about 70 out but sunny, and you could really feel the overhead sun. I don't know what the S will be like - I do see it is a single pane. I haven't seen a retractable type for the prior S - does the S roof do a better job of...

Hi all, June 10 came and went. We didn't get a lot of info about batteries, the LR, etc. - but I'm wondering what the "real" reason for the week pushback was. Waiting for paint to dry on the new track rails? Caterer on vacation? Software improvements? (that's my vote) or where there serious...

Hi All, newB, lurker here. As I await my LR (September-October, but they didn't say which decade!) I was thinking. There's 5 color choices. 3 interior choices. so that's 15 permutations. (the plaid is a whole other conversation, with different trim options as well) Wheels - 2 choices (not...
