    If you fast charge, Tesla will permanently throttle charging

    I haven't gone through all 48 pages of this thread, but I can confirm that my car also does not appear to go to full current when charged at a SC. I noticed this about a month ago, and just thought it must be some issue with the SC. In fact, I unplugged the car and went to another stall at the...

    Xpel paint protection/Opticoat

    I have a full wrap with Xpel Ultimate and Opticoat. 2 years, and happy so far.

    Sensor interactions with wraps such as Xpel?

    Mine is fully wrapped with Xpel Ultimate. No issues whatsoever.

    App does not unlock car

    I had this problem once. I called Tesla, they had me reset the car AND they did something on their end, and all has been well since.

    Why does Sport Acceleration mode exist?

    I miss seeing Insane mode as a choice (I did the Ludicrous upgrade). I always thought it looked great up there.

    Media app forgetting presets

    Mine forgets Fox News every several weeks. Coincidence? Conspiracy??? Hmmmm........

    Error Message: Limited Power

    Tesla called back, after reviewing the logs. They wouldn't give me any more details as to the cause of the incident, but they said all should be fine now and they don't anticipate a repeat of it. Sounds like a software glitch to me, but I have no proof of that...

    Error Message: Limited Power

    Interesting. Mine also went away a few minutes after I reached my destination. I charged overnight, and then it wouldn't release my charging cable, necessitating a reboot. All seems fine now. Local Tesla service called this morning. Wasn't terribly enlightening regarding cause, but was...

    Error Message: Limited Power

    This was after a 3 mile drive (at 35mph) to a store, and the car sitting in the parking lot for 15 minutes. Ambient temperature, probably 88 degrees. So, certainly not something overtly stressful to the car, and not spirited driving beforehand.

    Error Message: Limited Power

    I wish I wrote down the exact verbiage, but I just got in my car, and had a yellow warning exclamation point stating that there was a problem, and my car would as a result have limited power. Limited power is an understatement. The car drove with all the pickup of a Volkswagen Beetle on a bad...

    Tunein Login Not Recognized

    Mine stopped working months ago, then was fixed. About a month ago I logged out, and have not been able to log in since, so broken again.

    TACC & Slowdown due to Car Ahead Changing Lane

    Mine does this all the time when I am in the left lane, and the car in front of me pulls into a left turn lane. The car slows down way more than it should, and way longer than it should - long past when the car ahead has exited the lane.

    TuneIn not recognizing account info

    Yup. Mine started doing it again yesterday.

    Yes, this issue has occurred before, eventually was fixed. Sorry to hear it has occurred again.

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    OK. Had mine completed today in Brandon, FL. Haven't had time to play yet, but definitely feels faster 30-80. The dashboard display with the underlined P85D was a cute touch.

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    Just had mine scheduled for April 30th in Brandon, Florida. It will be fascinating to see how noticeable the change is. I was told to bring the car in with a 30-50% SOC, and that it would take two days.

    "Secret Sauce" power upgrade coming - beyond Ludicrous

    I'm thinking this is an April Fool's joke, but hoping it isn't. I've always gotten the ludicrous speed reference as well as the plaid, but where does the insane speed reference come from in Spaceballs?

    Taking my driver's license road test (NJ)

    Wow. Things have changed. My daughter took her driving test with my Lexus 2008 LS600hL that parks itself. This was probably in 2009. She used it, and the instructor thought it was so funny / cool that he passed her without requiring her to repark the car.

    Ludicrous upgrades starting in Tampa

    Wow. I was supposed to be #2 in Tampa. Haven't gotten a call yet. I guess I'll have to bug them on Monday.

    Tampa International Plaza location

    Where exactly are they located? Not the CHAdeMO ones I would have preferred, but I'll take ChargePoint. Are they free, or what is the charge for them?

    Noob question on Opticoat , XPel ultimate and "Nanolex?"

    I was told (and do believe this from my experience detailing exotic cars) that the paint on Teslas is quite soft (so more prone to injury). As I live in an area with hard water sprinklers that leave vicious water spots, I had Xpel Ultimate and Opticoat put on the car a week after delivery. It...

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    I agree. I'm really going to miss that. I think it's a mistake to delete it. BTW, still haven't gotten a call from Brandon, FL service center on getting mine done, despite being second on their wait list. I wonder what's up with that?

    Firmware 7.1

    Perpendicular parking didn't work for me this morning either, and I've also never gotten autopark to work. - - - Updated - - - Driving home today from work, and the autopilot does not appear to change speed when the speed limit signs change. You can pull the stalk and it will automatically...

    Firmware 7.1

    I saw that video. And I do have auto homelink enabled for this garage door. It works great going into the garage, however (and I've tried this multiple times) when backing out of a garage with the door closed, it just starts backing up, notices the door is there, and shuts down. I think...

    Firmware 7.1

    OK. Downloaded successfully, and works. One scenario it doesn't seem to do - When you're in your garage and activate it, it doesn't seem to open the garage to back out. It backs up until it sees the garage door, and stops and shuts down. Am I missing something? If the garage door is open...

    Nitrogen in stock tires

    I'll just steal a few quotes from the above link to demonstrate the kookiness of this: "O2 permeates faster through rubber than does N2... Since that is correct, your tires would approach 100% Nitrogen over time. If you start with 79% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen, and you are losing Oxygen...

    Any reason not to hook up a battery tender to the 12 volt battery ?

    Late to the party on this thread, but it's somewhat frightening to think that we are proposing fixing something on a Tesla with something from Harbor Freight...

    Do you display the energy app in your standard configuration in V7?

    I miss the old setup. Graphically, the new energy meter is just plain ugly. So is the clock. I'm hoping they work on the graphics. I used to use the energy meter all the time which braking to maximize regenerative braking. Now that's useless, and I don't bother. Pity.

    Anyone else's Autopilot not working?

    Yup. Didn't help.

    Anyone else's Autopilot not working?

    That's the first question they asked me. Yup, turned it on. Still no answer from Tesla, despite three attempts.

    Anyone else's Autopilot not working?

    My car "successfully" downloaded the 7.0 upgrade yesterday, but when it finished, it gave me a message saying Autosteer not available. Call Tesla. This is on a P85D, with all the appropriate hardware. Called last night. Never heard back. Called this morning. They said they'd get back to...

    Does 240v NEMA 14-50 have to cost this much?

    Worked for me. Told him it was for RV outlet for my brother's RV. Cost $350 total.

    LTE upgrade is on the way

    Got mine done this week in Brandon. There was some issue with a stuck screw, so they replaced the screen. Not sure if I'm imagining it, but I'd swear that the new screen has better color saturation on the camera. Otherwise, navy updates much faste, and Tunein and Slacker load podcasts and...

    Tunein Login Not Recognized

    Still not working correctly. After signing out that first time, you can't sign in. Unfortunately, I've listened to all of the podcasts from the sites that interest me, but I can't add older ones to the Tesla, so stopped listening to TuneIn. Are they going to fix this any time soon, and does...

    P85D and P90D horsepower disagreement

    + 10,000. It's not that the car isn't crazy quick, and almost causes me to pass out when punching it (will the upgrade require actual g-suits?) It's that I ordered a car being promised certain things (autopilot, 691 HP) and never got them.

    Meh, skip LED headlights and go right to laser!

    Yeah, I thought it was pretty odd when my Tesla didn't come with LED headlights. I've been driving with them on my LS600hL for 7 years now. They're cool, but honestly I think xenon on my other cars (and an LS460 which is the same care with xenon headlights) work a little better. Now the...

    Screen Display with Ludicrous Mode

    And clearly need to leave space for the future plaid.

    Screen Display with Ludicrous Mode

    The display on the Tesla web site only shows sport and ludicrous. They should really keep insane mode as a medium option. For no other reason (and it's a biggie) that it looks cool on the screen, especially if it said all three.

    New Chademo station in St. Petersburg on Beach Drive

    Been using it recently. Still finicky, but very useful. Scanning the QR code still doesn't work, and the RFID tag still doesn't work, but manually typing in the code works. For whatever reason, they have reduced the maximum amperage to 90 amps recently, so the max charge rate is about...

    New Chademo station in St. Petersburg on Beach Drive

    Still not operational, as of a few days ago. The USFSP one has been great, but it is definitely finicky, and the RFID card I purchased doesn't work with it, nor does scanning the QR code. You need to manually enter the number.

    Tesla credit card key - who's interested?

    I have the same key on my Lexus LS600hL and I love it. I never forget to take my keys. Period. The only thing I miss is the ability to flash the lights in a parking lot.

    To chademo or not to chademo

    +1 to that. I paid for 2 day shipping on mine, yet it took 2 weeks for Tesla to ship mine. Three times I called and they told me it had been shipped, when it hadn't. Give it more time than you think to order one. That being said, since they just installed a CHAdeMO charger near work, I plan...

    Solar Launch Event at USFSP

    I jumped the gun and charged there yesterday the day before the ceremony with a CHADEMO charger borrowed from Chad from Tesla Energy who was putting on the finishing touches (a very nice guy. We had a great, really informative conversation). Nice location for me, as it's 5 blocks from work...
