It did turn out to be a bad breaker. Electrician came back out and replaced it with no additional cost.

I'm 6'6". It is certainly less convenient to enter and exit than my Honda pickup, but honestly, I attribute a lot of that to not being as young or as flexible as I used to be. Very comfortable once inside and I feel it is the best highway car I've ever owned. YMMV.

Same here. I'm no software programmer but it seems to me it would be a simple fix. Change "no" to "yes" or something in some code somewhere!

I'm on 2022.20.17

Anyone get any traction on this issue yet? I've tried changing profiles, saving after moving the seat, etc. Nothing works. Lights come on when the car is unlocked but go off when opening the door. At home they don't come on at all automatically.

Right seat rail at the rear. I believe it sits horizontally, but I'm not certain. He pointed it out to me but given the lack of space, I couldn't see what he was pointing at. Can't be that many bolts back there, though.

When I've cupped my hand in the general area of the horn button, the car sounds three, staccato horn blasts, distantly different from when I actually press the horn button. I discovered this a few days ago by accident. Pressing the airbag continues to do nothing.

Tried that on mine. It went through all the motions for calibration EXCEPT the seat would not move forward or backward. Seems to be more of a physical problems that the tech was able to correct by adjusting a bolt.

Holding the power button down for 10 seconds would help too...if it had a power button!

Just an update on my own stuck seat problem, the technician told me that it has been an issue for some cars. In their repair manual, it says to first try banging on the back of the seat. If that doesn't work, there is an 8mm bolt that attaches the screw mechanism. Loosen that, move the seat, and...

I'm just alarmed I had a problem so soon. I've not even had the car two months! Good luck on your repair.

My 2022 MS LR is stuck as well. The problem started Sunday. I don't know if it had anything to do with the recent software upgrade. Fortunately, I already have a mobile appointment scheduled for tomorrow for another issue.

Nothing hot except the breaker when it trips. I'm kind of thinking the breaker is bad/flawed, but then I remember seeing semi-scorched extension cords when I was a kid that were plugged into too many Christmas lights. Can the car attempt to draw more power than the breaker is capable of and trip...

Honestly, I kind of like the looks of that meter and the idea of it. I'll probably snag one anyway, just to have around.

Thank you, but isn't that something one does after the warranty period? ;) Besides, "Dammit, Jim, I'm a psychologist, not an electrician!"

I’m hoping for the best but one of them actually has to look into it once instead of just speculating.

I have a service appointment scheduled for next week. I've had several exchanges with a technician on the problem and they clearly appear to be trying to get out of coming out for the appointment. I know this may not be the most expensive car out there, but it is certainly and easily the most...

Thank you. I guess I'll test out how well the app works with service appointments!

The smell doesn't appear to be coming from the outlet. It's a 3 car garage and the smell is definitely coming from the car somewhere. Could it be that the car suddenly demands so much power that it trips the breaker? Using the Tesla app, I reduced the charging amps from 32 to 24 and that seems...

When my 2022 Model S is charging in the garage, there is sometimes a smell that I liken to how air smells when let out of a tire. Kind of a rubbery smell but not electrical. This smell isn't there all the time. However, I have detected it at times when my circuit breaker trips (220v near the...

I'm wondering if there is a wall of shame somewhere for photos of ICE vehicles taking up EV charging spots. I figure they are public places so photos should be a problem. The only site I found is on Twitter and that is for Europe.

I'n 6'6" as well. I have a Model S. Entering and exiting are a bit of a challenge but I've decided that one doesn't get into a Model S, s/he puts it on and wears it. Very comfortable for me to drive. I don't drive with the seat all the way back so my daughter has no problem sitting behind me. I...

Thank you. I'll give that a try tonight.

Thank you! That worked! I could swear there is nothing in the manual about holding the button down for a second. Maybe I skipped it while being overwhelmed with technology!

When I turn mine off Auto, the brights do not stay on unless I hold the button on the yoke. I have no idea how to get them on and keep them on.

Thanks. I thought I was missing something. The manual isn't clear about this. Seems pointless to have high beams if you can't turn them on other than flashing them!

New to my Model S. I can't figure out how to turn the high beams on. If I have them on Auto, they never come on. I'm able to flash them on the yoke, but that's it. When I turn off Auto, they also flash but I can't figure out how to keep them on. What am I missing? TIA

Got my car today. Lovely. A couple of minor flaws with the seal on one door which the advisor noted and said they will correct. The car was already in "insane mode" when I got it, unbeknownst to me. Scared the crap out of me when I floored it and my son almost panicked! Great ride so far. Much...

Those adapters are sold out on that site, like they are on the Tesla site. Amazon has them for a small fortune!

AFTER, my delivery was scheduled I was warned that I might start getting texts and emails about various things, but not before. Indeed I did get an email about an interactive Zoom session for learning about the car but nothing else so far. My delivery date is scheduled for 2/12. BTW, can you...

So much for tire choice in Tennessee. It’s cold out there for us!

I think that's a fee to pay for (proper) tire disposal. In Tennessee we are also charged that fee when purchasing new tires.

I haven't seen many with black interiors lately on the inventory site. Mostly cream and black & white. I wonder if they are blowing off batches of black interior because the others make more money.

I was told I'd have to pay $2k for transport but I don't see that on my paperwork. The car was still in Fremont so maybe they decided against it.

I called the national number, which routed me to my own region. They then told me I would have to call the dealership in Las Vegas to which it was scheduled to be shipped. I called the LV dealership and first they told me I would have to pick it up there (I'm in Tennessee), but after speaking to...

You might also want to check the inventory page to see if there is a car that matches your build. You might be able to get sooner if that is the case.

For those still waiting, Deep Blue Metallic seems to be cranking out of Fremont with gusto right now on the inventory site. I appear to have snagged one (after calling three people at Tesla - the national number, the dealership in Las Vegas, and then finally my own SA after getting and emailing...

I wonder why yours was denied and mine was approved? Makes no sense. The inconsistency is astounding. Making up the rules as they go along. Here's to the best of luck for both of us!

I agreed to pay that charge but they maintained my price without the latest hike. I grew tired of waiting, as did my wife. Now all it has to do is get here.

My fingers are certainly crossed. It said the car was in transit to Las Vegas but it turns out it was still in Fremont. Rail transport to Memphis via Birmingham, maybe? I'm not sure how it works but the SA claims the account will show better information on Monday. Of course, he didn't say which...

Success! I think. Managed to talk to several people, including my assigned advisor for the first time ever (he never returned calls, texts, emails, etc. You know the drill). A car similar to my order has supposedly been reassigned to me. I now have. VIN (NF468963) and updated delivery date...

Anyone tried to snag an inventory car that is in transit or in another region? I'm in the process of attempting that it Tesla is acting as though they've no experience with that.

Mine just slipped to April 25 - May 23 this morning. It had been at April for better than a month. At this rate I might be able to get a car earlier if I place a new order than if I wait for my current order to be built.

I'm also 1154, having ordered a couple of days after you. I'm in Tennessee. Still showing April for my EDD.

Mine is the same model with August order (1154) and April EDD. It has been April for over a month

Perhaps if we abbreviated Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) as ED, it might explain what is going on with Tesla a bit more...

No offense taken. Just happened upon the article and wasn't even looking for it.

Mine has been like that for a couple of months, showing April.

I actually called about that one early this morning. However, as expected, they won't honor the price I locked into prior to the increase. So I guess it will sit there for a couple of hours more!
