I don't have an AP car, and am just curious. Is it possible to turn the autopilot chime off? I am talking about when AP is manually engaged or disengaged using the stalk successfully. I understand the argument why it should not be allowed to turn off in other engage/disengage scenarios, like...

I own a classic Model S (no tire specific pressure readings on IC), and I got new tires a few months ago. Am I supposed to re-calibrate when new tires/sensors are installed? What is the right procedure to do this? I just checked my tire pressures, and they were down to 35 psi and I never got a...

Last Friday I got a "Car Needs Service" notification right after I arrived home from work. Everything was OK until I parked my car, got out, and closed the driver's door. The right when I opened the left rear door to fetch my laptop, I heard the beep for the alert. I was too tired to call...

This has been constantly mentioned since the beginning - the front row has been moved forward, making more leg room. This can be done because it is an EV, and no driver console (IC) is needed to display a bunch of info because of eventual FSD capability. There were talks about there being an...

Lately, I am observing a slow down in the loading of maps on the center console. I am observing too many gray checkered boxes lately. They appear often while driving, with no touch input made. Sometimes even an area that is already loaded disappears randomly, and then takes a while to reload...

I was at the factory yesterday, and found that Tesla is doing some kind of market survey on the idea of offering some kind of a car wash service at the superchargers. I think the service is offered by third party (I think it was EcoGreen at Fremont), facilitated by Tesla. They had questions in...

I am nearing 35k miles on my MS with stock 19" Michelin tires from Dec 2013, and am now starting to consider change of tires. With no experience of ever buying and changing tires on a car before, I have some very basic questions. Which tires to buy? Summer? All Season? Quiet? Performance? There...

I always thought pressing the button on the UMC while the car is locked (and charging) only re-ignites the charging LEDs momentarily, without affecting the charging process in any way whatsoever. I am even almost certain I tested this a while back. But recently, I noticed that pressing the...

This has probably been discussed before, and having owned my car for over two years, it's probably a bit late to be asking this. When do you guys really drive with your roof open? I seem to not be able to drive with my roof open when: external temperature is below 15° C: too cold. external...

I have been driving my MS for almost a year now, so I am a little embarrassed to ask this question now. But this has been driving me crazy since yesterday: How does the auto-brightness setting for the display work? I see a slider to adjust the brightness manually, and the box is titled - Auto...

This is purely speculative of course, but most predictions indicate that the Model ≡, when released, will have a 200 mi plus capacity battery with supercharging capability (perhaps optional). Given that, how will it fair compared to the original Model S, from 2013 let's say? I guess the Model ≡...

I found this lying in the front passenger footwell this morning. Does anyone know where it goes? It's made of plastic.

Every time I turn the turn indicator on, and begin to turn the steering wheel, I hear a faint click - as if the auto turning off of the indicator upon steering wheel returning to normal position just got engaged. Is this normal?

Does anyone know the exact algorithm used for ambient lights? I suppose they turn on in dark when the doors are unlocked. But when driving at night, they appear to turn on sometimes, and I cannot seem to gather what causes it. Edit: Just checked the manual. It says they are ALWAYS on when the...

What kind of air freshener do you use in your Model S? How do you use it? Where do you place/attach it? I want to know what options we have, and compare them. Thanks in advance.

I just got off the phone with PG&E, applying to switch to EV-A rate plan. They told me it could take two to four weeks to switch. Is that really how long it takes? Anyone with experience regarding this?

I drive with creep mode ON. After coming to a complete stop as a result of applying brakes, when I start to release the brakes slightly, I hear a friction noise that feels like the wheels are just starting to slip through the brake friction. I can even feel the faint vibration from the...

For the last few days, every morning, when I get into the car to go to work, I see this pop up message to setup a WiFi connection as the screen comes on. Why this is odd is that the car is already connected to my home WiFi at this time, as you can see in the pic. I am a little confused about...

I have seen some YouTube videos where the charging screen shows time remaining to finish charging. My screen does not show this. I have looked around in settings, but could not find how I can enable this. Can anyone throw some light on this?

Assuming such a list is not currently maintained anywhere else, this is my attempt to create one. If you have experienced 120/135kW charging at a supercharger in North America, please report here. Or if you find a post by anyone in any other thread which specifies 120/135kW charging experience...

Tesla provides us with only one mobile connector. If we keep it in the car, then we need to open the trunk, take it out, put it back in everyday when we charge in the garage. If we leave it in the garage, plugged into the wall, then we need to make sure we don't forget to put it back in the car...

I have recently started noticing this noise from the car when it is parked. This is the exact scenario: I come back from work, having driven some 20 miles, drive into my garage, go into park mode, open the door, and I can hear the noise from something running. There is no noise inside, but it is...

I just received an email from a Solar City rep with the title above as subject and the following content: ... I wanted to reach out to you to let you know of a $1000 rebate check SolarCity and Tesla are offering. If you are still interested in solar energy and SolarCity, please call...

When navigation is running, sometimes I see a graphic box with lanes and some orange lines inside the navigation screen in the instrument panel. What is this graphic for? I read somewhere about some kind of active lane guidance in cruise mode (not sure if such a feature is actually included...

I am getting my Model S this weekend, and have spent some time looking around for all the options TMS owners have for charging on the go. Besides charging at home and at superchargers, what accounts/memberships should we maintain for convenience of on the go public charging? I am not sure I have...

I live in a rental apartment in a condo in California that has four apartments in total. Apparently, the condos in the community were build a long time ago, and so the apartments only have 60 Amp lines each. In total, the condo has five 60 Amp lines, one of which is used for lighting common...
