    SW 2022.8.10.5 Muffles Speakers

    Rec'd update 2022.8.10.5 yesterday. It has muffled most of the car's speakers. The two speakers at the windshield emit audio, but all four door speakers rear side speakers are almost silent. The speakers in the trunk lid very faint. This is not correctable with the silly balance control -...

    Bug in HomeLink firmware

    This seems to be a different, more basic, problem than other threads, and I'm not sure if it's 7.1 related - so I've started this new thread. I deferred programming the HomeLink on my new MS until I completed some mechanical work on the garage doors. Meanwhile it received the 7.1 update...

    Low Tread Life

    I put new Yoko AD07's on my Roadster 1.5 exactly 5000 miles ago, and the Fremont SC tells me the 17" rears are completely worn and must be replaced. Honestly, I'm a VERY conservative driver and these tires have been carefully 'babied'. Sorry. But this seems to be extremely low tread life...

    New Battery Break-in ??

    Is there a preferred method to break in a new battery pack? I just had my battery pack replaced. The service manager passed on that, in order to successfully balance the battery, what I needed to do is drive the car until depleted to about 10 miles remaining (without charging in the...

    MX HPWC

    Does anybody know yet whether the HPWC for the MX is the same as that currently being sold for the MS? I'll be installing one at my home plus one other location, and the electricians are there right now...

    Any 'Upgrade Signature' reservation holders know where they stand?

    When I made my MX reservation oh so long ago I asked to be put on the Signature waiting list. And... several months ago I got the call and sent in my $$$ and now hold a Signature Reservation. But Tesla will not tell me where I stand nor whether I was invited because they had some dropouts or...

    Fractured Driver Door Sill

    The black plastic cover on my driver-side door sill has cracked and broken. I know it bears some weight when I slide into the seat, but I'm not especially heavy and I don't have that many miles on the car. Anybody else experience something like this?

    Different chargers - different miles

    Yay! I finally finished all the work on the breaker panels and the #4 wiring in the garage over to where I mounted the Roadster High Power Charger (Clipper Creek), and all is well. No longer am I using my 110VAC mobile charger at 15A - I've set my new charger to 56A, 220VAC! But... I'm...

    Charging Roadster disables Garage Opener

    I just figured out a perplexing problem. Turns out my garage door opener remotes (radio based) won't operate when my Roadster 1.5 is charging! The wall button works the opener because it is hardwired. Soon as charging completes, the remotes come back to life. I'm certain the charging...

    Strange Ideal vs. Estimated miles behavior

    I thought the Ideal Miles calculation was based on the CAC and the Estimated Miles was discounted from this by an amount that depends on one's driving habits. But several times, while conservatively driving about 50 miles on the freeway, my Estimated Miles display actually EXCEEDED my Ideal...

    Weak AM Reception

    Almost have my new 2008 1.5 in ship shape. Mine has the JVC KD-NX5000 option radio, but I notice that my usual local AM stations are very weak, 'staticy', and what I mostly hear is whine from the electronics. Do others experience this, or is my antenna cable partly disconnected?

    Control Knobs for a 1.5?

    My newly acquired low-mileage 2008 Roadster 1.5 already has a couple of the control knobs on the center console that have broken. Anybody know if they can be acquired somewhere?

    New Roadster Owner needs tech advice

    As a retired technologist I should be able to get this... but how do you get to those 'Service Screens'? I can't access the V&T or Balancing Grid screens, etc. I look at the 'Service Info' screen but all that has is the VIN, miles, next service, etc. My FW seems to have been upgraded and is...

    Roadster High Power Wall Connector

    I am looking for a High Power Wall Connector for the Roadster, but Tesla seems not to be selling it now. Anyone have an idea for a solution?
