    Musty smell when starting model S

    Hi, I've had my Model S for about 2 years. Over the last 4 months or so, when I start the car, I get a musty smell coming from the air vents. It goes away after about 2 mins. It happens every time I start the car, and I have already changed the cabin filter. It is a similar smell to if you put...

    Recommendation for snow chains that won't damage rims Model S 21inch wheels

    I am trying to find snow chains for my 2021 Tesla Model S that has the 21inch Arachnid wheels. I purchased some from Napa Auto Parts and installed them in my garage, however the metal hooks are sitting right on my rims! These will for sure scratch/damage the rims. Can anyone recommend some...

    When should I re-calibrate the cameras?

    Should I ever re-calibrate my Model S' cameras? If so, how often?

    98 Score - Got FSD Beta?

    I was on 98 for about a month. I didn't get it at the next software update, it came about 2 or 3 later. I had close to 1000 miles when I got it

    First bit of snow this morning...

    I just switched out my brand new summer tires for all season tires and the snow performance is excellent. It's definitely the tires. The summer tires that came on my Model S were even bad on wet roads, let alone snow!

    FSD performance noticeably worse in light rain, overcast skies

    I've noticed that the performance of FSD is noticeably worse in slightly bad weather (light rain, overcast skies (but not dark)). I'm seeing more phantom breaking, erratic steering etc. I'm surprised by this, as I wouldn't really call the conditions that bad (I'm referring to scenarios when the...

    98 Score - Got FSD Beta?

    I was at 98 for about 4 weeks and got FSD on Dec 25th.

    Procedure when FSD beta misbehaves?

    In my Model S - I don't have a "top bar UI". Anyone know where the video icon is on the S, or how to report FSD issues? Car did some crazy things today on 10.8

    Paid for FSD, when will I get the software?

    Is 99 or 100 required to get into the Beta? I have read a lot that 99 is sufficient?

    Who with a score of 100 and more than 100 miles is still waiting for FSD roll out?

    I just drove 40 miles, 100 score the entire way until 2 miles from my house when I briefly touched by brakes because someone pulled out in front of me (very light touch of the brakes) and I ended up with a 99 for the trip. So annoying!!

    Safety Score

    I got a software update yesterday and I was excited that it might finally be FSD. However it was just 2021.40.6, no FSD. I reached out to Tesla and they said "congrats on the safe driving, keep it up. We don't know when you will get FSD, but it will come soon". Best car ever, worst customer...

    Wind Noise Reduction Kit

    I couldn't get it to fit correctly so I sent it back. The instructions also said if you don't have wind noise (which I don't), then you don't need it

    Safety Score

    I have the exact same thoughts. I use AP on the freeway all of the time, otherwise someone will cut me off and I will get dinged on my safety score. I currently have a safety score of 99, but the only incidents that have dropped me from 100 are completely out of my control and are not unsafe...

    Glovebox SSD Error messages

    I worked out how to fix this in case anyone is interested. I found this video: explaining what to do. Basically, remove the USB drive, perform a reset (hold down both wheels on the steering wheel/yoke, wait for the system to reboot, plug back in the USB stick. When I did this, the error went...

    Glovebox SSD Error messages

    I have had this active alert on my new Model S since day 1 (it's now a month old). However, I am able to record dashcam videos, so perhaps this error is a bug itself? Also I don't really understand the error - if there wasn't a USB device plugged in, why would that take more power? Wouldn't...

    Who with a score of 100 and more than 100 miles is still waiting for FSD roll out?

    I can see on TeslaFi that there is a new version (2021.44.5) with currently 232 cars with it installed. I'm on 2021.40.6, if I get upgraded to this new version, will that be when I might get FSD? Or do I need to get on one of the 2021.36.X.X branches?

    Who with a score of 100 and more than 100 miles is still waiting for FSD roll out?

    I was 98 for about 1 day. I am assuming I won't get FSD until there is another update?

    Who with a score of 100 and more than 100 miles is still waiting for FSD roll out?

    Safety Score

    I'm finding it really hard to keep my safety score high. I have been fluctuating between 99 and 98 and I am driving VERY safely. Last night I was hoping to hit 100, then someone cut me off on the freeway and I dropped to 98. It wasn't an unsafe situation, and I braked with lots of time. Super...

    Who with a score of 100 and more than 100 miles is still waiting for FSD roll out?

    I'm a new Tesla owner (2.5 weeks) and I am trying to work out from this thread when I might receive FSD. Can someone let me know the latest information on what I need to do to qualify? For example do I have to be at a safety score of 100, or does 98 qualify? Also minimum miles, minimum days...

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    I am on version 2021.31.103 and my car says I am up to date. I understand I will get the next update "3 to 4 weeks" after getting my car. But why do I have to wait for software updates?

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    Apologies if this question is answered somewhere else, but I searched and couldn't find it. I took delivery of my Model S LR last Friday. I have FSD included. My question is when I get access to it? I don't even have the update where I can request access to the beta yet, and from reading...

    Wind Noise Reduction Kit

    I was just looking at this wind noise kit on rpmtesla and was wondering if it's worth it. It's cheap and looks easy to install. I don't have any wind noise, but you can always make it better: Model S Wind Noise Reduction Kit I'll probably give it a go

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    It was awesome - no problems at all with the car. Only issue is it has summer tires on it. I know this was a theme - has anyone had any luck changes these out with Tesla?

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    5 days until my delivery, very excited but still a little worried Tesla will pull the rug out from under me... Quick question for any LR owners, has anyone bought a spoiler? I really like how the spoiler looks on the Plaid, so I am looking at the following through rpmtesla. Does anyone...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    What would the purpose be? At this point I don't care what year the VIN is, or when it was birthed. But are you saying this might be an indication of something else, like a refused delivery?

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    I now have my delivery appointment scheduled too (next Tuesday), so looks like it's happening. And in true Tesla style, the first delivery appointment was 1 day after the end of the updated delivery window. Lol Tesla

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    My Jan 21 EDD just moved up to Nov 11th. I am guessing it's a vehicle that was originally for someone else. I just hope it wasn't one that was refused for quality reasons.

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    MF. So this is probably a car that someone else wasn’t able to buy? Or maybe it failed the delivery inspection?

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    That's good to know, but why would someone want to do this? Is it to hope for better quality, or a 2022 VIN?

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    I've pretty much given up looking at the forums and refreshing my order page. I check the order page once a day and that's it. I am pretty disillusioned by the whole experience. BTW I did see a white interior LR at my local dealer, so they do exist. I expect to see my car in Q1 next year...

    Does anyone have the ability to lookup a VIN to find out who the owner is? I am curious if the MS I saw on the lot about a month ago has been delivered.
