my MCU failed last week. service center said the part was backordered; just got an update that a new one is now in stock and they expect to install it tomorrow. will update with any other details i find. but i should say, it is concerning to have it fail after just 3 years of ownership.

i'll pick 11/8, as it's the earliest date that doesn't look taken yet =) hope i did this right!

60 owner here - in june, i noticed that after five months of getting charged to 177 RM, without having changed the slider it now stops at 176, 175, and once last week 172. have recently been driving it farther and emptying the "tank" a lot deeper... wonder if that is making a difference.

my last car (an Audi TT) had low-profile tires, and it was incredible (and awful) how often there would be tire damage that required a brand new tire. sidewall blowouts, or punctures that led to sidewall damage... ugh. when i got my Model S i went for 19" tires -- just like OP, my motto on...

stopped at this Supercharger recently, after midnight so the mall was closed. but there's a gas station in the mall about a two-minute drive away in case you need bathrooms / snacks. also fun note - though the mall was closed, the fake "city streets" of the mall still had music playing, which...

stopped at this SC a few weeks ago for a top-off pretty late, around 1am. the place is kind of desolate at night; the mcdonald's was closed, the mall was closed, so plan ahead if you won't feel particularly safe just hanging around an empty parking lot in the middle of nowhere. there is a gas...

agreed - had been off the boards for a few days, came back and actually expected a Powerwall sub to already exist. would make sense to have one.

that email is the one specific thing that left me irritated after the 70D announcement (i bought a 60 in December). the company told us there would be specifically no major updates to the Model S for about a year -- and 100 days later, they introduced a better car for only slightly more. i...

just got today's software update notification for my 60. hooray for not being entirely obsolete!

in los angeles - still getting some waves. a quick headlight-flash is more common though.

got 6.2 on sunday, had a couple days now to play with it. you guys have already said a lot but here's two things that i'd like to share: charger-aware navigation - seems super helpful. i entered a destination, and it told me to stop at two Superchargers, one for 20 mins, one for 15 mins...

i went black headliner w grey interior, and it looks pretty badass. thanks to TMC forums i found out that the regular headliner would not have matched the grey interior - i'd have been really unhappy with it that way, so i'm double thrilled with the black. i don't find it at all...

that's a really good reading of the exact quote. looking forward to release notes, but now i'm thinking you're right.

ha not sure you need therapy - i think it's a valid concern. my Collision Avoidance doesn't beep at me very often, but i'd say 90% of them are false positives. sometimes triggers in parking structures going about 8mph with no moving vehicles nearby. sometimes triggers on the road when a car...

i picked mine up there on 12/30. was a good experience - though it was RAINING so of course the shiny new car didn't stay shiny for long. the people were friendly and there was definitely a sense of ceremony / "big reveal" to be picking it up. we went over all the paperwork first, which took...

great work on the new color discovery guys. although i think that new Blue color is eye-catching, it still looks an awful lot like every other gas-powered blue car out there. seems less distinctive, though i guess we'll have to wait to see it in person. full disclosure: i'm a current Blue...

i have not let a valet park the car. there are a lot of places in LA that are valet-only, but so far i've told them i needed to self-park. the closest i came was at a lot downtown where they double-park all the cars. he said he had to keep my key since i was blocking someone, but that he...

hey Mods - after the whole "supercharger thread moving" thing, shouldn't this thread be in the California Superchargers sub, along with the other ones?

what did the SC say when you called?

i had the same experience. was still concerned when i showed up to pick up the car. but once i opened the door and got in it, i couldn't stop smiling. i think i was even laughing. three months later and it's still just as awesome. no wait, it's even BETTER, because it's downloaded features...

also the Tech Package now lists "Lane keeping with automatic steering" and "Self-parking", even though those are not yet enabled. were they there before, or is this new also? either way seems like priority items for TM to enable, since they're listed on the sales page as features...

well i'll accept that the new system is here to stay, but still think it's less helpful than a new subforum would be. thanks for posting the sticky thread, Mods. i hope those threads stay as valuable a resource in their new homes.

^ this makes sense. ^ so does this. one of the most interesting things to me about the old system was the community sleuthing that went into locating new / upcoming SCs, and documenting their progress from permit to opening. i live in CA but i was still interested in Superchargers *in...

welcome aboard!

FWIW, a quick count of this thread shows -- - 10 users (not including mods) saying the like the new system - 13 users asking for the threads to stay together as they were - 4+ users asking for the threads to stay together but in a new Supercharger subforum so 10 saying keep it as is, 17 asking...

176, not 167? noticed anything different?

this sounds like a great idea.

so this was weird - this morning, i went to scroll the web browser, and instead somehow i selected a whole bunch of text. there was no additional functionality like copy/paste/etc, and i could not replicate it by double-tapping or reselecting or anything. i've often wanted to be able to...

agreed with Mike - i did really like keeping up with Supercharger news via a quick scan of thread titles. i do wish they had all been swept into a new subforum for supercharger-specific discussion. not sure it makes sense for them to be in the "TMC Community" forum, when they were previously...

i'd posted this pic elsewhere but reposting here for anyone interested --

also, the RESET buttons for trip odometers (Controls -> Trips) have been made wider in 167. clearly this was the reason for the update.

it's been a month since the last photo update - how's that red holding up now?

Supercharged in Oxnard CA over the weekend -- here's a pic of my car plus three others!

stopped by Oxnard over the holiday last weekend -- was a beautiful day for my first supercharger visit!

60 owner here, very happy with the decision to save the $10,000 by not getting the 85. no regrets!

i have also noticed this in recent weeks, though i only had the car for about two weeks before 6.1 came out, so it may have been there previously. - Nav Map on the dashboard slows the whole display down, including regen green meter and right-side menu scrolling. - hiding the Nav Map from the...

OP here with another update - took the car on its first road trip this weekend. was a fun adventure with the Tesla, hope to post pics of the trip soon. noticed that when lifting off the go pedal at 45+ MPH, regen lights up fully green as normal but actual braking/deceleration is not very...

that video was very interesting, thanks for posting. i happened to take a photo of my dashboard a few weeks ago, prior to The Change, and while letting off the gas at 90mph (i know), the needle dropped instantly to full green. has not been doing so since then.

after about 4 weeks, mine stopped opening reliably. it would make the clunk sound but then not actually open. this happened when pressing the button on the touchscreen AND via the button on the UMC. temp workaround was to start the car again, then get out, and it would usually pop open...

yeah but you didn't do that on purpose. it was an axident.

i went black headliner, grey seats, piano black. when i got into it for the first time at the pickup center, i couldn't stop smiling about how badass it looks.

still awaiting word from engineering on this. anecdotally, i should point out that before saturday, i had repeatedly remarked about how i almost never needed to use the brake pedal thanks to regen, but since then, i am noticing i need to use the brakes quite often (comparatively speaking)...

OP here. that's certainly possible as far as weakened regen. but, the other part of the post was about delayed regen -- a fuller braking effect kicking in a second later. i've noticed it a couple times more in the last two days, only when going 50+, but filed a Bug Report and am talking w...

thanks - i had checked that, and it was correct. actually toggled it to Low then back to Standard, and i don't think that made a difference. reported it using the Bug Report voice feature. we'll see what happens.

had the S in for a charge port door replacement (it was only opening intermittently) yesterday. they took a look, replicated the problem, and replaced the entire charge port interface. they also looked into my case of brake booster not working, and escalated the case to engineering, who...

well, i've compared the two on a bunch of days commuting. run both at the same time, and see how they do. the Tesla's nav tends to prioritize routes on highways, then State Routes (yellow roads on google maps). driving around LA, it suggests i take state routes like santa monica blvd - which...

i get this message every morning, and i typically go the way Waze suggests, as i've compared the two and Waze is always better. but my question is this: it says "Faster Commute Available." Faster than what? is the car tracking the way i normally go?

great site Blueshift - a favorite of mine and many others here for sure. this new feature - is it number of days since the map has had that status, or the number of days since the actual construction started / actual permit was pulled? thanks!

i have been getting a bunch of false positives in the parking garage at work. as i come down the ramp and am preparing to turn (the hairpin turn that many such garages have), i must be turning the wheel a little bit as i approach the turn, because the Tesla sounds the warning, presumably...

i got .113 several days ago, then .115 a few days ago, then .116 last night, and now the car informs me there's another update. it seems like nobody here got BOTH version .116 AND version .139, so maybe .140 is a combined version to get everyone back on the same release channel?
