So it looks like my HPWC gave up the ghost. It completed its last charge successfully, no lightning storms/surges that I know of since then, and the mobile charger works like a charm so not thinking it is the car. Tried resetting, cutting power, etc, to no avail. I'm going to guess that last...

So got my official recall notice that parts are available, and I should proceed with scheduling my eMMC replacement for MCU1. So, do so, drop it off... At the end of the day, service notes say to the effect "does not need replacement at this time... check back later to see if eMMC has reached...

Like a lot of us, I have a near-death eMMC MCU1. Had an issue with Spotify crashing and causing either a reboot of the Tegra screen or an infinite loop (where music would restart prior to getting controls back, causing a crash again). On an unrelated (I hope) issue requiring a trip to the SC, I...

Has anyone (without root) found any way to revert to the previous firmware? The horrendousness of every screen grates on me more and more... I assume someone thinks it is nicer, but now I've found something to hate on every screen. The radio is pretty much unusable, it is like coming out and...

Ok, looking for some reassurance I am not crazy here. Out doing some errands, everything seems fine... get on the highway to come home, decide I need to be in the right lane, so look to see if the lane is clear, and... my passenger outside mirror is hanging from its perch. No earthly idea how...

Yeah, it's that time of year again. Y'know, with those nasty yellow dashes all over the power gage because it is f#*king cold out there. So as I briefly forgot that regen isn't as effective as it was earlier this year at a upcoming red light, this little thought popped into my head: for a...

Illinois “Anti-ICEing” Law Signed I wish we could call in tips for a share of the fine... The best part is this: So in Chicago that's like a $200 something tow and impound fee... :biggrin:

... for those of us that have to make the pilgrimage to the gas station for our snowblowers. I feel traumatized. I've never felt as conspicuous in my Tesla as I did going to a gas station and pulling up to a pump. The stench of dead dinosaur on my hands, the fear of overfilling the can and...

From the last sentence here: Elon Musk, Sam Altman Predict Self-Driving Cars Will Be On The Road In Just A Few Years | TechCrunch Really? And is "very soon" Tesla time or something else?

So... discounting the minor details, and adding all the fine print about various battery states, and such... We now know that our older MSs can put at least 1200 A of current through the battery leads... and that the shiny new ludicrous ones could take 1500A. If, hypothetically, some REALLY...

Thinking while driving of names for those archaic beasts that surrounded me, and came up with this. Feel free to use it if you like. "I love my Model S, and will never go back to one of those dinosaur vaporizers again"

All you road trippers out there... small but annoying problem for you. Is there any way to force the clock in the MS to update? When we are crossing time zones, our cell phones update nearly instantly, but I've been halfway through a state before I start to wonder if an hour disappeared...

Hey Tesla... Please put this on your development list: Test-Driving an Audi With Laser Headlights - IEEE Spectrum

Is it time for another delivery thread for upgrades to the shiny new ludicrous mode? I put the call in to my SC (Chicago) and they said they'd get back to me when they had more info... curious to know if others (esp around Freemont where I'd assume they will get first parts) have a committed...

Ok, here's a new one. Driving down the highway for about an hour, turn on TACC. Speed is normal highway-ish, like 65 or 70. Then I shut it off, futz with the radio (don't ask), and go to turn it back on again. Nothing happens. The stick is dead for on/off, but the rotation still works to set...

So as I sat on this forum between hitting refresh on my browser on the MyTesla site while my MS was being built, I learned many things... including that the toll transponder reception is spotty on the newer cars. Not wanting to put it under the nose cone, I opted for the license plate...

Now that Tesla is offering the CHAdeMO adapter on the store for the masses, the question now becomes: What do you do with one? I of course know the local charging options for my region outside of personal HPWC and SC; and we know that SOME Nissan dealers welcome our kind... but what are the...

With props to all those that came before me, and wrote so much about charging options and methods... I am proud to announce that I have one of the most extensive 240V FrankenPlug collections in the community. (13 different outlets, if anyone is counting). Faced with a dearth of supercharger...

Wanted to share my experience, on the first day of truly crappy ~30F weather, with slush, sleet, ice, black ice, snow, and otherwise miserable potluck winter weather. Y'know, the kind that you REALLY want a AWD vehicle to drive in. In a nutshell: my Tesla did everything I expected it to do...

My beautiful P85D is my first Tesla. And... in nearly every aspect, she does not disappoint, and I'd buy 'er it again in a heartbeat. HOWEVER... for such an engineering marvel... for so many aspects of the vehicle.... the "accent lighting" is pretty sad. It is relatively dim (but not...

For those that haven't seen it, The Oatmeal's creator, Matthew Inman wrote a comic about his Model S: What it's like to own a Tesla Model S - A cartoonist's review of his magical space car - The Oatmeal One of my favorite frames is the one where he describes how he needs to make the ICE noises...

So P85D coming next week... and I'm sure not far behind will be the winter nightmare. All the Tesla-branded floormats look to be pretty weak, when pitted against gallons of melting snow, rock salt, and lord knows what stuck in it... compared to something like the WeatherTech mats. The "all...
