Ride: full Soft (coming from a Lexus). Handling: full Sport

I noticed the passenger signature light flickering a couple times while parked in my garage (sunny SoCal). It's rare. Haven't seen any pattern that causes it. If it happens outside my garage while driving, I'd never know!

I made a mobile service request to fix a squeak in the driver’s side window. They added the line item to the invoice to disconnects the radar too, which is what led me to find this thread. I was not excited with the idea of the tech taking the front of my car off in the parking lot! When he...

Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. Google searches give no useful results specific to watching Disney+ in my car. But about 4 months ago it decided to force me to log in every time I want to watch. Sometimes it auto-fills my email address at least, often not, and I always have to enter...

Like vcor said, just drag the media control from the top (use the light-grey thin "collapse bar" control at the top-center of the media panel) down a little then to the left or right. The dual arrow control in that video doesn't exist on my car with the latest software.

I lost my debit card to that hungry slot the day after I got my car. Took me overnight to realize that's where my missing card must have gone. I figured it lost, ordered a new one and forgot about it. After 4 months suddenly the sliding panel wouldn't open all the way. It was hitting the card...

I can confirm engaging autopilot with this new patch does not activate automatic high beams. My high beams were on manual setting, and off, and after driving an hour in the dark turning AP on and off, my high beams are still in manual.

I have not driven at night yet. My windshield wipers were already set on auto (works fine for me in SoCal) and that's unchanged. My high beams are still in manual mode but maybe that will change when I'm actually in the dark? Dunno yet.

The verdict: It's okay. (and I really did want to hate it) During my usual morning/afternoon commute of 40 miles on the 110 and 405, I paid close attention to how my autosteer & TACC were behaving post-patch. On an open lane, I couldn't tell any difference. When a car merged in front of me...

I installed 2022.20.9 earlier tonight without knowing they were taking my radar away, but it dawned on me an hour later that’s the real meaning of “welcome to Tesla Vision” and then I came looking for a thread. This refreshed Model S is my first Tesla and while I love it, I am always stunned...

Just installed 2022.20.9 on my refreshed Model S and they took my radar away :-( Warning to the rest of you. They say “Welcome to Tesla Vision! It‘s great” and then stretch the min follow distance to “2” (disabling 1) and limiting TACC to 85, which is plenty fast enough but not letting me...

Agree. That webinar is not for anyone that cares enough about their Tesla to be registered on this forum. I attended to get one question answered. And they got it wrong! I asked if there's a way to securely lock my phone key in the car when I can't take it with me (work). I tried locking it...

This (old) thread is still a top hit in Google for this problem, so I thought I'd add my discoveries here. #1) As a Mac user, I was also having no luck getting a freshly-formatted FAT32 USB thumb drive to appear as a music source. When you format the device as MS-DOS (FAT), the other option...

Tesla is a cousin to SpaceX and our Model Esses are sprinkled with space references, like the Martian nav map and attempting to name your car "42," so why can't we access more of the REAL space technology we already have in the car? Not SiriusXM. GPS! Of course the cars show timing and map...

On #10, for me the mental breakthrough was realizing that with my thumb brushing against the ridge on the yoke between the turn signal buttons, I can think of it as a traditional stalk. To signal left, I'd move the stalk down, so my thumb needs to move down and press the button. Instead of...

So I had maybe the opposite reaction. Before taking delivery of my LR with 19s, I was ready to pull the trigger on the lug nut and center hub kits for the "raw" wheels. Then I saw the Aero covers in person and really liked them...the light plays nicely on the textures. And while feelings will...

Camp Mode was the ticket! Thanks for the suggestion.

I financed my MS through USAA last month. In the end, it was a simple process with—I think—the real credit going to Tesla for knowing how to deal with USAA and their Dealer Funding Request process. Everything was all done electronically, but you do have to stay on the ball as the middleman...

Does anyone know the trick to keep the games playing with only back seats occupied? I tried to have my rear-seat passenger keep playing a game on the main screen with a controller while he sat in the back seat. I had the climate system on Keep. But as soon as I closed the driver's door, the main...

I'd read about this here a couple weeks before taking delivery of my MSLR and sure enough I heard it in mine too. At least I thought I did. There's definitely an intermitent "cooing" sound when I'm sitting quietly the car, but yesterday when I was really trying to locate it, I realized the sound...

LOL. In the fourth and fifth month waiting for my LR, I found this thread to be some consolation...while I didn't have a car yet, I also didn't have any of these problems! It was therapeutic. But hang in there. I got my car a month ago and she's absolutely perfect. Zero issues of any kind with...

Just press the voice control button and say "save that."

I know that intersection! My son lives 2 miles away. I drove my new MS down to see him Sunday. Seeing this really brings on a sense of empathy for you. To have the car so close yet out-of-reach would be breaking my heart too. I sincerely hope Tesla makes this right real soon.

I was surprised to find the Atari arcade games missing from mine (Asteroids, Centipede, etc.) I have no Caraeoke either. I don't know what drives the decisions to omit software features like that across the Tesla lineup (horizontal vs. vertical screen?), but the owners manual and website are...

If this is happening in your driveway, is the auto-lock "except at home" setting turned off?

The yoke is absolutely awesome. It has refreshed the driving experience for me and am a fan for life. As for gaming while "driving," I would have always expected that was locked out already, until I found a perfect use case for allowing it. I was in the 20-minute drive thru lane at In-and-Out...

Obviously Tesla needed to manufacture more Midnight Silver Metallic finishes for good people like you, but as for the quantity they delivered, I took delivery of my MS MSM on 8 Dec. In the same lot / same time was another new owner taking possession of an MS MSM. And the first other refreshed...

Exactly...front plate's mandatory. So when would you pop off the snap plate? For photo shoots and track days? Seems like quite a bit of trouble and expense for 1% of the time in your car.

I'm happy to hear the fates smiled upon you and you were in the right place/right time to jump into your new MS!! Congrats. Everything I read about autopilot and "FSD" suggests it's not to be used on city streets where you'll find stop lights; it's a highway system. FSD on city streets is a...

Jeff, great to hear about your new owner experience as I too explore my evolved transportation system. I feel so much the same about most everything you said. Although, I have noticed no extra looks in my direction; Palos Verdes is swarming with Teslas...but it's nice to know mine's better than...

I nearly bought the $500+ wall "charger" for my garage so I could keep the portable one in the car. Then the thought occurred to me: where would I ever plug the portable charger in when I'm away from home?? Maybe if I was staying the night at my parent's house, but that's very very rare. Now, I...

Watch this video at 4:20. It explains what those are, and why they're fine.

Finally got a day with my new baby to test more features, take some pics, and stretch her legs. I'm stepping (way) up from a Lexus ES350 which I bought new in 2008. This technology triumph has made me feel like I just my drivers license all over again...and I'm 52 years old! From the seemingly...

Congrats! Very happy to hear all went smoothly for you. The way you dressed-up the undressed wheels so nicely makes that an option I'll keep in mind for mine one day.

Mine's got all the bottom-end I could want. I say that as a bass guitarist, so like it turned up (more than) a bit.

Perhaps not the clearest choice of words on my part. I meant Tesla was "saving" the all-season tires for those in colder climates. I only got one set of tires (summer) with/on my car. I never mentioned choice of tires to my SA and summers are what I got.

I had the great thrill to take delivery of my MS on Wednesday afternoon. Too much work the last 2 days for day light pictures, but I thought I'd share my observations about taking delivery at Tesla, Buena Park, in Orange Co, CA. First off the Tesla staff were friendly and helpful but are...

Nice color combo...If my delivery date holds, I'll have pictures to share this week 🤞

Thank you both!

Sam, you're generous to call that "no frills." I heard the 1-on-1 concierge deliveries are a COVID causality, but that "gimme the check; ok, have a nice day; bye." treatment is a shame. They should not act like they did you a favor by allowing you to buy their car.

Was preparing for my whirlwind delivery on Monday when my bank reopened, but then I spoke to a Tesla rep this morning and he confirmed all they need is the Dealer Funding Request guaranteeing payment, which I had, so pick-up was rescheduled for tomorrow, Sunday. 😀 And then... 😟 Got a call...

Great news on another California delivery. Congratulations to ya!

This is insane... June 12: Place my order. Hear nothing more from Tesla. Thurs, Dec 2: VIN appears in the app (glad I checked!). I'm thinking it'll be off the assembly line and delivered in 2-3 weeks. Fri, Dec 3: Get a call on my home phone that my car will be ready for pickup this weekend...

^ So I wrote 5 days ago. No surprise that I still do not have an EDD. But by some insane twist of fate and perhaps seasonal divine intervention, I logged into the app tonight to find a VIN! In-FREAKING-credible! NF460, no less. 173 days seeing nothing but "TBD" and now a VIN of my own. I...

Alas, my profile is complete. I've spoken to my SA, DA, 800-number, and the local store. All say my account is prepped and ready to receive a car. They all say an EDD is up to Fremont and there's nothing to do. I did get a slightly different story from my Delivery Agent who told me EDDs are only...

Maybe 99.9% guaranteed to change. My EDD has been "TBD" for 169 days straight. JeffR, I have less than a bit of hope. Perhaps I'm part of the EDD monkey's experiment: "What if we don't give them an EDD at all?" Appears to be a very small control group, however.

Fantastic choice of options for your LR MS ;-) I can only hope this means I'll go from null to VIN in the next 2 weeks too.

Oh, I feel you, brother.

How about waiting 5 months (and counting) just for an EDD?

"MSM, Cream, 19s" -- "car being manufactured" That's my config too and with batch manufacturing being a thing, that's the best news I've heard all month. You first, man, but I'll hope it's a big batch to reach this 1151 RN too.
