    Model S 75D 2018 won’t turn on. Car off. Press brake pedal to switch gears message. Pressing brake doesn’t start it

    Hi folks, while enjoying our honeymoon driving round Scotland, a couple of days ago I couldn’t start the car in the morning because pressing the brake did not switch it on.

    Is my tailgate motor knackered?

    I have a 2018 M8 75D with extended warranty. The right-hand trunk/tailgate motor (I'm assuming it's a motor - the cylindrical part that pushes the tailgate open and pulls it closed) has started making a clicking/knocking/rattling sound when the tailgate is opening and closing. Does it need...

    Used to have the power consumption displayed on the driver’s screen behind the steering wheel of my 2018 MS, but then the tyres got low in the cold and the tyre pressure warning appeared on the driver’s screen. Now I don’t know how to bring the consumption display back. How do I do that please?

    1 month of ownership of my first Tesla and I have these questions

    Love my MS 75D. I have four questions. Before I tweet @elonmusk, maybe you can help. Why are there gaps in all TeslaCam recordings? They miss important evidence. My first dashcam, an £80 Mobius, manages to record continuously. Buffer and extend the recordings if it's an issue with USB write...

    Why is there a 2-3 second gap between TeslaCam recordings?

    I'm using a Samsung T7 SSD (as recommended at a lot of places) in my 2018 Model S 75D. Each mp4 file is 59 seconds long and there is a 2 second difference in the time stamp file names of consecutive recordings. So there is roughly 2-3 seconds missing every 61-62 seconds. TeslaCam is a...

    New Tesla model S owner here

    Hello folks, so I took delivery yesterday of my 2018 S 75D in red. My first Tesla and it's awesome. A Tesla approved used vehicle, I'm a bit disappointed that none the things which the sales team agreed would be addressed (couple of paint issues and new headlights) were not done, and the car...
