    Petition to demand "camera on top, media player on bottom" be retained in UI

    Agreed. Tesla needs to stop "fixing" things by removing functionality. I never need the map on my screen.

    Supercharger - Charlotte, NC

    Charging now. Limited to 50kw on 1A and 4A. I'm the only one charging right now.

    Speed to set Air Suspension to "Low"

    I have mine set on "Always" for purely aesthetic reasons.

    Applications keep opening in panes OTHER than maps on 8.0

    I just wanted to voice my support of the new app behavior. I always have the camera on top and Waze (in the web browser) on the bottom. The apps open exactly where I want them to. I'll be very disappointed if this behavior changes. *stern look*

    Can't roll windows down or open sunroof on key fob or app?

    If you're looking for testers, I'd be happy to give it a try. Sounds good. Just so we're clear, I have zero technical skill. I just like playing with new toys and have the ability to tell you when something doesn't work.

    Newer VIN constant 12v power options (dashcam)?

    Answering my own question (found the answer in another thread): Fuse #50 was blown. Replaced it and everything is good now.

    Newer VIN constant 12v power options (dashcam)?

    Has anyone tried to do this and only gotten 10v out of it? I'm getting 10.1 from one wire and nothing from the one that others are getting 12 from.

    "Unable to Play" and other problems

    I'm able to change the car's name, browse the web, search in nav, and access the car from the app both on WiFi and 3G. On Slacker, it seems to buffer about 5% of the song, then say "unable to play" under the progress bar. I just made a Tunein account so I'm about to try it. Edit: I couldn't log...

    What3Words for Augmented Navigation

    That's cool. Personally, I look at Plugshare for the specific location of a Supercharger I haven't previously used. Using What3Words would make it even easier. It'd be a good addition to the Supercharger descriptions on Plugshare if it doesn't get incorporated into Tesla's navigation.

    Any luck with this yet? I'm having the same "unable to play" problem, also since Monday.

    Firmware 7.1

    I think if you lock the car with the windows down and open the door using the inside handle, you'll find there is an alarm.

    Those who switched from a muscle, sports, or performance car to a Tesla...

    I sold my 2010 Camaro SS in July 2014 and picked up my S85 in January 2015. Like Skotty said, I occasionally miss the noise (I had intake, long-tube headers, cat-back, and tune) when leaving a light, but beyond that, I can't think of much I don't like better about the Model S. Of course, without...

    Automagic Premium and Model S

    I have about two hours total experience with IFTTT, but I found it pretty limited as well. I just installed the evaluation version of Automagic, and the first impression is good. I'm excited to see what can be done with it. So far, all I've done is make it launch Waze upon connecting to my car...

    If GM built this car with an electric drivetrain, Tesla would be out of business--

    That's a good looking car. As others have said, it could very well be a Model S Coupe. If that were the case, I'd already have one reserved. No questions asked.

    Vehicle Hold puzzles me

    For me, it requires me to push the brake pedal almost all the way to the floor to engage the hold feature. It's beyond what is required to start (or brake in most cases) the car. Maybe you just need a lighter touch. I've never engaged (aside from the first time; before I knew the feature...

    Autopilot necessary?

    I love TACC. I tried autopilot on my commute home. If my future experiences with it are similar to today's, I won't be using it unless I move somewhere with better roads.

    a new "whine" sound that wasn't there before... help?

    Ugh, I think my car started doing this about 500 miles ago (at about 15k). I'm not too concerned about it, yet.

    Who is a Stereotypical Tesla owner?

    Same as anyone who sees one for the first time. It's a mixture of "What is that?", "How many MPGs does it get?":rolleyes:, and "It's so quiet!" You're certainly not wrong. I meant I get efficiency without sacrificing (much) performance. My Camaro was faster, but at 17mpg mixed for my commute...

    Who is a Stereotypical Tesla owner?

    I'm a younger guy (30), married (no kids), and a tech nerd. I also consider myself a car guy. Being active duty military, I'm probably also on the lower end as far as income is concerned. I chose a Model S because: -the "wow factor" and newness of my 2010 Camaro SS had worn off. Being on a...

    New Owners: What was your last car? How much more was the MS than that car?

    2010 Chevy Camaro 2SS/RS - bought new for about $40k. +$52k for my 2014 S85

    Autopilot lane keeping still not available over 6 months after delivery

    You'd certainly have a solid gripe if Tesla hadn't said anything about autopilot since they initially announced it. I'm 99% certain that, several months ago, they said the features would be released "by the end of the summer".

    Window Gunk

    That was actually my first guess because I thought I remembered a similar substance when changing a window motor in the past. I suppose I'll clean it off and make an appointment if it happens again.

    Window Gunk

    It was a hot one today so I immediately rolled down my windows when I got in my car. When I got home and rolled them up again, this is what greeted me on my passenger side. I'm not sure exactly what that is, but I'm sure it'll take me plenty of time to clean off. Has anyone experienced this?

    Supercharger - Mobile, AL

    Well, as of right now, there is no power to the individual chargers. I imagine if you see the red "Tesla" lit, it'd be a good sign.

    I'll be passing through later tonight. I can certainly test it out and report back if no one beats me to it.

    Supercharger - Mobile, AL

    Ed, I also want to echo the other users' appreciation. I used your charger late Thursday night / early Friday. You made it possible to make a trip from NC to Austin to visit the in-laws. Thanks again and welcome to the forum.

    The Hilarious Thumbs-Down--a Model S first?

    Theory: Model X has "transparent" A pillars (see-through video)?

    Same here. I see reflection off the window in the picture and even less in the video.

    Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing them with us. :biggrin: I'm planning on stopping at Benson's. I'm hoping things don't get so bad that I have to stop at a Nissan dealership. :crying:

    The Hilarious Thumbs-Down--a Model S first?

    While that's nice, it doesn't exactly address the "issue", if one exists, of people messing with others' cars due to some perceived slight (being too rich, too liberal, etc). http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/42287-New-Tesla-Keyed-and-Vandalized

    The Hilarious Thumbs-Down--a Model S first?

    Unfortunately, I don't think that would offset rage caused by something like a "Eat the rich" sticker. I suppose I could put an "Obama, go back to Kenya!" sticker on the other side and hope people only notice the side I want them to. Why can't these hypothetical people just leave my car alone?!

    Auto Insurance

    I've had my car for just shy of four months. I have USAA. According to their website, once my policy renews, I'll be paying $824 for six months for full coverage on the S85 and my wife's '13 Sonic. For perspective, it was $327 for her car alone. Some people's insurance is going up after the...

    The Hilarious Thumbs-Down--a Model S first?

    As a gun-owning left wing nut, I'm confident no one would mess with your car for "supporting the 2nd Amendment". Personally, I would just laugh at the ridiculousness of someone thinking the "Obama's comin' for yer guns" marketing scheme is anywhere near reality. More on-topic, assuming I don't...

    Autopilot TACC - still a work in progress

    That must be nice. I use 1 and people constantly shove themselves into the space... which makes the car slow down... which makes people jump in front of me... ad nauseam. Aside from that, I enjoy TACC. I use it all the time. My only other complaint, as Gpetti mentioned, the car tracks cars that...

    Auto-present handles finicky all of a sudden

    I thought I was, but I'm really not sure. I was having issues with the app both while driving (it would still say "waking car") and while both the car and my phone were on my home wifi.

    Auto-present handles finicky all of a sudden

    Experienced something similar today. I walked up to the car expecting the handles to present. When they didn't, I pressed on the driver's door handle. Nothing happend. I tried the fob; nothing happened. I tried to connect with the app, but it wouldn't connect. The app would either crash or give...

    Closing the single electronic frunk latch experience
