    Tesla Model S Instrument Cluster Crash

    This is happening to my 2014 MS. IC is frozen when I get in the car like the 2nd video 2 posts above, or it freezes while I'm driving. Have to reboot it each time. Happening about 2-3 times per week now. Very annoying. Assume I have to take it in for a firmware update?

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    Anyone know if the IC has a similar chip issue? Mine is starting to exhibit similar behavior as my MCU did before EV-Fixme did the eMMC replacement: doesn't boot up when I get in the car, or freezes while I'm driving. I have to do the IC hard reset to fix it. Happening about 2-3 times a week now.

    Replacing instrument cluster

    Reel Deal - Shop Tesla Model S 3 X Y Parts . They are great. Mine was delivered very quickly and the process was easy. Just helped a buddy with a 2013 MS order and replace his, and again they delivered it quickly. Just make sure you get the right one (Gen 1 or Gen 2). The website helps you...

    Keeping my Model S as she ages

    I'm with you. 2014 Model S 85 here with 93,000 miles, and just passed my 8th anniversary of purchase. Sunroof, nose cone, large frunk, and...lifetime free supercharging. Center screen working well after the eMMC upgrade, drive unit and center screen (bubbling issue) was replaced under...

    Tesla Model S 2014 85

    I have a May 2014 MS 85 with 93,000 miles. Exactly 3 years after I got it the milling noise started and they replaced the drive unit under warranty in May 2017. Been great ever since and I love the car, but the battery and drive unit warranty for 2014's is up this year. I wouldn't do it...

    FSD for 10k, is it worthwhile

    For clarity: if you don't buy the FSD upfront for the current price of $12K, you still have all the hardware on board, right? So if you do the subscription instead, FSD will work the same as it would if you laid down the $12K in advance?

Temecula was always out of the way and usually full, which meant plugging into a 110 outlet at the cabin or searching for a Level 2 in the Idylwild area. Will be hitting this one...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    LOL, I just checked again today. Now for the LR white with black interior it says "June 2022" with the 21" wheels but if you change to 19" wheels it pushes to October, despite changing absolutely nothing else. So sticking with 21" wheels somehow buys you 4 months (as of today). :rolleyes:

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    So I was planning to upgrade from my 2014 MS85 next year, but just noticed that if you go in to order now, the estimated delivery is "November 2022". WTF Tesla? How can orders for a car currently in production now be a full calendar year out for delivery? Good grief.

    Makes me sad to hear many reviews of the New S complain about build quality!

    This. I'm able to get into spots on the Freeway with this car that I wouldn't attempt with a gas car, and that's with my 2014 S85. It's also saved me from being rear-ended on at least 1 occasion that I can remember.

    Makes me sad to hear many reviews of the New S complain about build quality!

    I may be in the minority: I find the amount of customization, options, and models for BMW and others to be bewildering. I just tried to build a Porsche Taycan EV on Porsche's website just for the heck of it, and flat couldn't get my head around the eleventy billion customization options. Every...

    Makes me sad to hear many reviews of the New S complain about build quality!

    I don't understand the OP. You say that you don't need a car that does 1.9 0-60 while complaining about the $145K price. Are you aware you can get a LR that doesn't accelerate that fast for $90K? Also, I'd like to see some actual proof they are painting over chrome. That seems...dubious at best.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    This is a key point: Tesla has an enormous advantage with the supercharger network. If I'm never going on a roadtrip longer than 350 miles roundtrip then sure, one of the high-range alternatives might work for me. If I'm on a road trip longer than that, there's no way I'd want to take any BEV...

    Blog Toyota Announces Plans for 15 EVs

    About damn time, Toyota. I had a 2010 Lexus IS350 that I absolutely loved until I got my Model S in 2014. Toyota's decade-long negative attitude towards BEVs when they should have been one of the companies on the forefront of BEV development has completely soured me on their brands. Very glad...

    Power hatch issue

    Yeah I had already thought of that. Didn't work. I even tried setting it to halfway up and the behavior was the same. Notice in the video that when the liftgate gets to the top it dips down a little bit? It was doing that even when I set it to halfway. Wonder if that dip is triggering it...

    Whenever I open my power hatch, it opens, sounds the warning alarm, and then closes automatically. Anybody ever seen this issue and know how to fix it? It is really annoying - I have to put my hand up to force it to stop coming down whenever I need to get into the rear hatch area. See linked...

    I lived in Ann Arbor for a couple of years in the early 90's and I always struggled with this attitude. Supposedly a capitalist country where competition is embraced, yet you get hated on for driving a car from the wrong brand. It was especially pronounced if you *GASP* drove a Japanese...

    Sentry Mode bust!

    Can't tell for certain, but it does look to me like the truck's rear wheel is parked right on the parking spot dividing line. If that is the case and he's upset about someone parking too close, it might be his own fault. Either way, I'm glad he got caught, and I hope he learns an expensive...

    New 2021 Model S battery cells & packs

    Anyone think they'll switch the LR to the 4680 cells in 2022? I'm getting close to an upgrade (I've been driving my 2014 for 7 years now). Would LOVE a 500-mile range LR. Acceleration is fast enough, don't need to spend the extra cash for Plaid+.

    Not sure where you got that information, but it is wrong. Although CA's population growth has slowed dramatically compared to the 20th century (and I view this as a good thing), it is still growing and in fact has not had a net loss in population in any year since 1900: California Population...

    Probably should ask Tony directly. Depends on if he removes/reinstalls the MCU or you do it. I had him do it, but watched him and honestly, it isn't that hard if you want to save a few bucks.
