    Speed sign recognition

    Got 2023.44.30 and immediately after that 2023.44.30.4. First time driving on a highway after that and big surprise - the FSD does not distinguish between car and truck speed limits anymore. It was fun for 30 min to go 65mph-55mph-65mph… but then it became boring. How did that pass QA?! It...

    Door handle replacement error

    I had the door handle issue (not presenting; motor spinning) and Tesla mobile replaced it under warranty. It was noisy and they replaced it again. The new one was quiet but started throwing GTW_w140-hndfdVersionMismatch errors. A firmware reinstall fixed it for a few days and then it showed up...

    2020 MSLR - noisy door handle after replacement

    I had one of the door handles brake - it stopped presenting itself. The mobile tech came and fixed it in 30 min. Mechanically, it works - presenting and retracting well, flush with the door, it does not rub on anything (the SC checked for that). However, it is significantly noisier than the...

    999 Van Ness shop in SF

    Does anyone have experience with the shop in San Francisco? I have been there several times and not very happy with the quality of service. Strangely, the feedback button is grayed out :) Are there better shops in the Bay Area? Berkeley? Burlingame?

    Rear fog lights on US Model S (2016-2020)

    Hi! I have 2020 MS, US version. Is there an elegant way to install rear fog lights like the EU version? I mean, no pulling wires from the front fog lights, no additional switches, etc. The idea is to activate them through the interface, similar to the front ones. If US and EU versions use the...

    Door handle fix. Replacement?

    2020 MS LR. Pre-refresh, Raven platform. 40k miles in, the door handle stoped presenting itself. I can hear the actuator so it is not the harness/switch. Probably, it is the gear. I can pull out the handle with the credit cards trick. Still in warranty, so I scheduled the mobile service...

    Streaming - what service it is?

    Does anyone know what is the “Streaming” service? I am referring to the orange icon. I found some nice stations there and would like to get that service on my phone, tablet, etc.

    2022.20.9 - Tesla Vision impressions

    With 2022.20.9 Tesla will switch to the vision system. It is not stated explicitly but it seems that the update will disable the radar. I have not installed it but reading through the forums I see some serious drawbacks: - Poor performance in bad weather (fog, heavy snow, snow covered road) -...

    How do you take care of the MS vegan leather?

    I have 2020 MS with black vegan leather. Looking for suggestion to protect (nano creams?), clean and condition. I saw a few videos but I am skeptical when some of them used chemicals with naphtha which is not good on faux leather.

    2022.12.x

    Installing 2022.12.1 on 2020 MS LR+. This is the first time the trunk to self open during installation. Has anyone else experienced it? I had to close it manually through the app while the installation was still going on (about 30%)

    Auto delete SMSes

    2020 MS LR+ here with iPhone 6s iOS 14.8.1. After update to 2022.4.5.3 I noticed that if I read incoming SMS through the car they never appear on the phone. Neither the SMS nor my replies (via voice reply). Not sure if that happened before 2022.4.5.3 but I have just noticed it. Definitely was...

    ICE vs FSD

    There has been a debate about Tesla as EV and Tesla as AI company (FSD, robotaxis, the robot, etc.) It would be interesting to see this audience preference.

    Frequent small charges vs. infrequent deep charges

    I have an L2 charger at home and I use about 28kW per week driving around in the city. I could charge 28kW once per week or 4kW every day. All the other concerns aside, what would be better for battery longevity? I read that cycles of charge is what determines the SoC but I am unclear if the...

    Disable suspension autolift with geolocation

    MS LR 2021 with full wheel.2021.44.30.8 During the last winter storm I lifted the suspension on a few locations to avoid hitting the battery or getting stuck (normally, I drive it in low for efficiency and to preserve the half axels). Now, every time when I pass those locations the suspension...

    Charging current

    I have the luxury of using different charging current because I am not usually in a hurry. Does anyone have insights about the optimum current? If is it too high then the BMS kicks in to cool off the battery; if it is too low then the car may be awake for too long. I am talking about L2, not...

    V11 upgrade on Raven

    Just got a notice for 2021.44.25.2 upgrade. Reading the reviews and watching the videos I am starting to have second thoughts. Can someone, who already upgraded, confirm/deny below things that are deal breakers for me: - Can you pull the seat heaters to the app launch? - Can you have front and...

    Spring-like noise

    In the past ~1,000 miles I hear a strange noise when accelerating from dead stop or just before dead stop. It almost sounds as if there is a spring attached to the accelerator and, when I press the accelerator, the spring extends. It only happens after I accelerate from dead stop to about...

    Dolby Surround

    Has anyone tried AC3 audio? Can the player even decode that?
