    Wiki Matrix LED Headlights Retrofit Journey

    Matrix lighting is truly impressive when you see it in action. I've enabled this on our 2023 Audi RS5 and 2022 Mercedes S580 since they disable all this in the US. I've wanted to do the upgrade for the Tesla and was hoping Pengy had figured it out by now but seems to be a dead issue. That...

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    Ah very glad you mentioned this. I was about to order the CCB's but wanted to make sure they gave you back all the old stuff. Why would I want this back, well when selling the car more then likely I'd put it back to stock and sell them on ebay or here. Also does anyone know with the track...

    Missing trunk cover. Where can I get one

    My service center ordered me one as my MSP didn't come with one. Apparently alot of 2021 MSLR MSP didn't come from factory with them and owners picked them up later. If you bought the car from Tesla directly let them know and they'll replace at no cost, or like me if you bought second hand and...

    No more ultrasonic sensors

    I noticed starting with 11.3.X FSD my USS no longer display when I'm near any objects like they previously did. 10.69 they still alerted while on FSD or NOA, or even just driving. If they did 360 like any of my other vehicles I would be happy, but there not even close

    Plaid: retrofit rear brake caliper

    From what I can tell if you do the CCB from UP you need to do the brake ducts also. Personally I would do the steel BBK from MP or UP, or even the Tesla CCB if they ever come out with it. I've had CCB on a few of my previous car and even know on my 458 and there fantastic if you enjoy spirited...

    Plaid: retrofit rear brake caliper

    I wonder more about the new brakes for 23 Plaid Vs 21 MSP brakes. Looks like they changed pads and some other stuff, maybe just swapping pads will make some difference. Nobody mentioned yet what the exact changes are

    What has happened with the rollout of V11?

    My MSP with 11.3.4 does this often. I've actually given up on letting it make decisions with exits and preemptively just press the turn signal button to force it into the lane. I went from 10.69 to 11.4 within 24 hours of release, I felt the exact same way while on 10.69 watching 11.1,.2,.3...

    Updating MY with 2022.45.12 (FSD 11.3.3) what's new?

    Well lucky you guys I dunno, my car seems to always be on the end of the update stream. Was looking forward to using it on my 500 mile road trip this weekend. Fingers crossed it comes before Friday.

    2012 Model S self-destruction after parking brake warning

    Then you seriously need to find a new mechanic. Just looking at the pictures you can tell there's serious neglect there. I mean you can see them through your wheels, is this your first car maybe? I mean this is something you do when your like 16 and don't know any better. Anyways thank god...

    Help with diminished value

    From what I always understood your insurance provider would go after them for diminished value when calculating the payout. They usually negotiate this with the other provider, at least that's what happened to me in the past.

    Updating MY with 2022.45.12 (FSD 11.3.3) what's new?

    2012 Model S self-destruction after parking brake warning

    Homey was like it has regen, no need to ever use the brakes lol. Never changed the rotors in 10+ years, they rusted out and corroded, I'd bet anything he had to make a hard stop and those disintegrated brakes just gave out. Very dangerous for not spending a few hundred bucks

    Updating MY with 2022.45.12 (FSD 11.3.3) what's new?

    Seems like a lot of fixes from .2 . From what I've seen .1 was much better then .2, .3 seems to fix a lot of the regressions in .2 .3 is going out to Teslas that have .2 installed. I still see many 10.69.25.2 installation currently so this is definitely not a wide release. Really annoying...

    2012 Model S self-destruction after parking brake warning

    Those rotors look like they're rotted. I cannot believe 7 months ago they didnt tell you to replace them. I think maybe SC told the OP to replace them and he declined. I mean they look like there completely rusted out

    Supercharger - Staten Island, NY - Richmond Ave

    I passed by there two days ago, was still behind the fencing. Not sure what there waiting for to open it. It appears all work is done, maybe just waiting for Con-Ed to light them up

    2022 Model S Plaid "gearbox fluid service"

    I tried Chill mode after seeing this post and honesttly i think its kinda dangerous lol. The car barely moves and I dont think can respond for its life. Is the kinda theory chill mode is 1 motor, sport 2 and plaid all 3?

    My 2020 MS… modem handshaking noises? What is this?

    I've been seeing this more and more and was wondering if its GPS based or do the sensors adjust for rough riding roads?

    My 2020 MS… modem handshaking noises? What is this?

    This is exactly what I was thinking when I was reading his posts. Most of the times I never hear the suspension lifter but sometimes it does make weirdo noises. You should try keeping an eye on the screen next time and see if you get the message automatic suspension lifting for a more...

    FSD 11.3.2 on the Highway

    Changing lanes without confirmation will be great. I actually have it disabled currently as it was literally the only time it would ask for my input. I dunno I wonder if the last owner of this car did something funky with my wheel.. On a 20 mile drive if it asks me to touch the wheel twice...

    Availability of 2022.45.11 containing FSD 11.3.2

    I've seen alot of cars on TeslaFi going from 25.1 to 25.2, I found this super weird. I've seen a few go from .51 to v11 but most went from 51 to 52. Hope your not in that queue

    Availability of 2022.45.11 containing FSD 11.3.2

    Do you get a notification via the app when there is new sw to release or is it only inside the vehicle?

    Model S free supercharging.

    I don't really see the big deal about the free supercharging unless you live in an environment where you cannot install a home charger. In this case I understand how crucial it can be for someone. Or if your one of these people who make crazy road trips year after year I guess it would be...

    Anti-EV comments heard on my roadtrip so far

    Hows that wind and solar working out for Texas? How about Cali with rolling brownouts? Even EU who shutdown tons of plants are now reopening coal plants, COAL PLANTS to get energy as there rush to go green has backfired. We need reliable clean energy, I only see this accomplished with...

    Anti-EV comments heard on my roadtrip so far

    Admittedly I was one of these non believers for a long time. I've wanted a Tesla MS for as long as I could remember but never felt the battery lasted long enough and the charging tech just wasnt there. I told myself eventually that day will come when all I don't like about them catches up and...

    NYC to Boston?

    This is also what im very curios about. When I put the trip into the nav it shows no stops, but I honestly I think like most don't even think about how to conserve the most energy and have the heat blasting, yoke heating and seats on max anytime i'm in the vehicle lol. Very curios to see how...

    BMW folks comments on Tesla

    I've been lucky enough to own lots of luxury cars, real luxury cars. Our main car is a S580 executive and second daily driver is a MSP. Now I'm a big tech guy and have been driving the Tesla for the last 2 months I've had it everyday. I had to use our S580 last week and honestly it is night...

    NYC to Boston?

    Yea I took a look, tons of 150KW stations. They have destination charger spots at our hotel but I think i'd rather goto the SC and see how the Boston ones are. Plus im trying to desensitize my wife to the whole charging thing. She already is asking me, please tell me we dont have to stop on...

    Very Weird FSD visuals on 10.69.52

    So I just got my car back from the SC and noticed it said SW update. On the way home I was using NOA/FSD and was on the highway and when i was coming over the Verrazano the vehicle started to slow down and in my cluster was thick blue chevrons, something I've only seen on V11. I was pretty...

    NYC to Boston?

    Yea it looks like no charge on the way there. The Fenway SC is a fw blocks from our hotel, if not ABRP is telling me to stop in Meriden on the way home.

    Model S Service Experience

    My SC experience has been kinda mixed. Now I've gotten a loaner car each time, once a model 3 and currently a model Y. They fixed my FSD, however, they said they fixed my frunk last time and was still broken. Now its back in there to be fixed a second time, we'll see if it gets fixed during...

    2013 Model S won't boot up or drive after parked overnight

    I'll tell you when I started looking for a 2nd daily driver and decided I would get an EV my first choice was the I7. I just gave back my 2020 M760 under a year ago and replaced it with a S580. I honestly loved the 7er and really dug the new one until I saw it in person and maybe it was just...

    Tesla Service Inspection

    I think this sums it up and says it excellently, the have a very reactive approach. First MFG in my entire life that behaves like this. And DD, your right it is kind of amazing a MFG will still honor a full bumper to bumper with no preventative maintenance. I could remember a while back when...

    Tesla Service Inspection

    It's strange they believe in doing it this way. The majority of companies justify these pre-emptive measure to align with warranty work. I like keeping things in tip top shape, wish we had a electrified garage around here

    Tesla Service Inspection

    I had my car in there for 1 week while they were fixing a broken wire that was making FSD and all the safety systems go crazy. The car is from 10/2021 and has 6500 miles on it. I told them please perform the yearly service and it was never done. When i picked up the car they told me it only...

    Am I crazy to put these tires on 21" Arachnids?

    Well they come with a 50k mile warranty. I could see them honoring the warranty over piss poor Michelin. We all know no tires on these MS are lasting 50k miles

    Price Reduction on S and X

    This is why I've always leased throughout my entire life, but considering interest rates are sky high and there seems to be zero incentives like there has always been purchasing seems to be the safe bet. Believe me I know. I had to order my S580 from California and ship it across the entire...

    Price Reduction on S and X

    I've owned over 50 cars and have never seen a MFG do this with a vehicle. Typically when cars have a new iteration they come with a certain set of options/features, sometime in there life cycle they usually have a refresh. Throughout this time they hardly ever make the kind of changes Tesla...

    Price Reduction on S and X

    Very stressful with this Tesla company. My disappointment that we cannot upgrade from V3 to V4 hardware would have me not buy a single thing until cars were delivered with the new hw. Then again, it looks like all these people will get V4 hardware and no activation for FSD beta. So honestly...

    Latest Tesla Updates-Brakes next?

    I wonder if they will give you back your steel brakes if upgrading to this kit. If they gave me back the steel brakes, I would purchase the kit and take them back off for my next MSP when HW4 comes out. If I could essentially use them for both vehicles I would have zero issues purchasing them...

    Color matching my original red paint is turning out to be impossible!

    Any reputable paint shop will strip the car down to metal, and start with a fresh canvas. Basically exactly what the first shop should have done considering they were repainting the entire car.

    Make FSD Transferable - Sign the Petition!

    If the price was always 5-6k I could see it just being another feature, hell I have options on some cars that cost more then that. But 15k for an option that just has never come to fruition, or how about the people who picked up there brand new Teslas in the last 10 days that paid for FSD and...
