Cabin heat isn't working on my 2015 MS-P85D. Only cold air from below or on defrost. There was a firmware update that caused this once before so posting to see if anyone else has seen this recently. Otherwise I'll open a service ticket.

2015 P85D that was recently upgraded to MCU2 (due to a crash) at the same time as we moved to a new house. The last time I programmed (5 years ago?) it began the process and told me to stand in front of the car and press/hold the garage remote button until the headlights flashed. Now it says to...

Wanted to see if anyone is aware of a good attorney for diminished value claims in Minnesota (St Paul / Mpls in particular). Thanks,

Someone entered a roundabout when I was in it so I've a bit of damage. They've accepted responsibility. Nobody hurt. 2015 P85DL. The car is drivable but pulls to the right, has a bit of unsteadiness, when going straight steering wheel is to left at about 10 o'clock, when going around right bends...

My P85D is scheduled to charge each night at 10p and has been doing so reliably until recently. It's been parked since 20 Feb waiting on mobile service to repair the drivers door handle. When he arrived today he found the car totally dead - both Hv and 12v dead. 12v battery was replaced about 2...

I had my car in for MCU1 eMMC replacement last April that I paid $2200 out of pocket for and Tesla are saying that I have 'No record of potentially reimbursable repairs performed by Tesla'. I'm finding Tesla now the worst menu hell company ever. There appears no way to talk to a human nor menu...

I've held off getting an energy monitor because it's seemed like all of the products were still quite immature (and I'm cheap and don't like buying twice IICHI). I'd really like to move forward and wondering what folks on here are using. For myself I've decided against any that require internet...

We're doing solar on the roof of our residential studio. We've had a reservation for Solar Glass since about 3 minutes after reservations opened up but there is still confusion about who will do installs in MN and when so we may end up doing traditional shingles and panels. We can't put off...

A study a couple of years ago on solar production potential noted that panels in northern climates will often produce more electricity than those in southern climates because the panels are less efficient when they heat up. Any idea how Solar Glass will perform on this? Given the design I'd...

We put down a deposit for a Tesla Solar Roof (now Solar Glass) a few minutes after reservations opened. There was some progress on it a few months ago and then tonight we received a notice that they are cancelling our order because we are outside of their planned service territory. We're in a...

The Tesla app on my phone hasn't connected to my car since 28 Aug. Charging and other stuff is greyed out. Bar at the bottom says "Updated on August 28, 2019" with a revolving circle. No error messages anywhere. Teslafi has been getting data just fine. I've rebooted my phone. App is up to...

We're building a new house with a detached garage+studio. We're planning to do Tesla shingles on the detached structure. It is framed and we need to get something on the roof before installing windows, mechanical rough-ins, drywall, etc. Our hope is to use whatever underlayment Tesla uses (plus...

My sister-in-law is beginning to shop for a new car and is mildly interested in a Model 3. I'd planned to encourage her in that direction but recent reports of problems opening doors and closing windows and not being able to get the charge door open in cold and snowy climates have me concerned...

Background: We are building a new house. Instead of having a large attached garage w/ my shop/studio above we're doing a small attached garage and then a separate building with the other half of the garage and my shop/studio above that. This is better for our neighbors not having to have a...

Not sure if these have been posted before but they are quite exceptional This 18-Year-Old Takes Mind-Blowing Photos Of Rocket Launches On Florida's Space Coast Here's one:

Can you add something in everyone's profiles for model and AP version so that when people are talking about problems or features or such that we'll know what car this is on. Example for below avatar: P85D / APv1

Several times lately we've noticed my S quite cold when I thought I'd turned it on to pre-heat. I didn't think I'd forgotten that many times and a couple of times I was sure I'd turned it on to pre-heat. Today I may have gotten a clue about it when I noticed this message while eating lunch...

Pre heating our seats (P85D) has been a highly desired feature that we were quite happy about. Easy come easy go. We got the notice for the firmware update that was supposed to include it but were out of town and it was pulled before we could download it. Perhaps a good thing given many people's...

I've been attempting to benefit from preheating the battery in my P85D to get regen back since it became available. Best result is to turn on cabin heat from the app while the car is plugged in to the wall charger while it's in our 36°f garage. With this I'll occasionally see the battery charge...

My wife has had an ML350 for 6 years (Lexus RX prior to that) that she's been quite happy with. I thought it time to replace it a couple of years ago but she wanted to hang on to it until last week when the xmission decided to no longer xfer power from the engine to the wheels. She's a GLE 350...

This is certainly good news. Tesla starts solar roof tile installation process with regular customers, production starts at Gigafactory 2

Backed my car a bit down by driveway to line up to pull in to my side of our garage. Driveway is very slightly sloped away from our house. After backing up I put it in D (and D was indicated on the display) and pressed the go pedal. Nothing. Except the car rolled backwards. Pressed down for D a...

It's been a couple of years since I've seen any discussion on this. It's that time of year when I'm thankful for being able to so easily pre-heat my car but the frozen hard seats could use a bit of love. I'd really like to see the ability to pre-heat the seats and steering from the app. It...

Formula E have nearly decided to stick w/ a single battery manufacturer for all cars through 2025. Formula E to keep standard battery until at least 2025 This is perhaps good for Formula E and the teams in terms of keeping from having the budget problems that have occasionally plagued Formula...

Oops. Self-driving shuttle crashes in Las Vegas hours after launch

There didn't appear to be any mention of the roof at yesterdays 3Q2017 call (or anytime in the past few months). Did I miss anything?

Two different people from two different solar companies who both sell Tesla Powerwall have told me that Tesla Solar Roof does not meet the 2014 NEC and so cannot be installed in states that have adopted 2014. However, California has adopted 2014 and I believe Ohio has as well which are the two...

A friend mentioned that ground based solar is better and more efficient (per panel?) because it stays cooler. E.G., rooftop solar gets hotter and is less efficient. Accurate?

Do we have any idea what the current production rate is and how many customer (employee) deliveries are being made per day? I'd guess around 4 produced per day & 3 delivered so another 30 employee customers have them since the launch party?

The louvres for Tesla Solar are, I believe, a 3M product produced especially for Tesla. No idea if they are manufactured in MN or elsewhere. Also, 3M, like most corps, is a Delaware Corp, not a MN Corp. The program appears to be for components so the louvres should qualify on that. Does anyone...

Preparing Our Roads For Autonomous Vehicles How cautious will AV's be around cyclists? Will cyclists feel safer and so there will be more of them? Will this cause problems?

Traditionally folks around here empty all of their old gas cans in to their cars at the beginning of summer. Otherwise gas powered lawn tools don't run so well (or at all sometimes). My mower, hedge trimmer, edger, and a few other things are all electric now (Echo Cordless) but I still have a...

Does anyone know how the output of a Powerwall will compare? PerfectWave P10 Power Plant | PS Audio AV guy has one of these spec'd for our new house. I'm not sure how critical it is to begin with (unlike Monster Cables it does make a noticeable difference but I'm debating if the difference is...

Safe assumption that the ideal angle for Tesla roof is the same as standard panels? So for south facing then Lat * .76 + 3.1 for a starting point for ideal roof slope? Tiles won't lay flat though so add a bit of extra slope to correct for that? 5°?

Thought I start a thread for discussion of Tesla Roof up here in the tundra. We're currently in the design phase and have a Tesla roof penciled in. We'll see how the numbers work out.

Anyone recognize this?

Lots of bitch'n and moan'n about AP2. How many AP2 folks, if given the choice at configuration, would have preferred to get current AP1 hardware and software or AP2 hardware knowing that it would be 2Q2017 before parity with AP1 was reached but knowing that beyond that it would have much better...

A friend asked me about this last night. Has anyone compared these in some bit of depth for hauling capacity? She's a gardener and has driven ML-350's for years. Her primary desire is a lot of flat space for flats of plants or bags of soil, headroom for taller plants, easy to load stuff in...

We'll be at the Ocala Supercharger about 9:15 this morning until about 9:45. Would we be able to see or shoot (400 f/2.8?) CRS-10 from there? From a few miles farther south on 75? Worth it to drive a bit towards Orlando to be very slightly closer? I'm guessing that the combo of daylight, cloudy...

If it had it I'm sure it'd be blamed. Woman seriously injured when car slams into gas pump

The U.S. has the most dangerous roads of all developed countries. We have more crashes, injuries, and fatalities than any other country whether measured per capita or per mile driven. For instance, per capita we have over 3 times as many fatalities as The Netherlands, nearly 6 times as many...

Does anyone have an idea what the cost differences are (construction & operational) between the gigafactory having a large footprint with few floors (I believe it has 3 operational floors) vs building higher with a smaller footprint?

Got sideswiped by a guy a couple of days ago. Car is at the body shop for a few weeks. It was a zipper merge where a construction truck was blocking one lane so I and everyone else in the right lane had to merge in to the left lane. When I was merging the guy in the left lane behind me decided...

Heading down to Nashville. I've typically gone through Chicago and charged at Country Club. Thinking about taking the slightly longer route through Peru, Normal, and Champaign to Indianapolis instead. I'd think that time wise it'd be as fast or faster even though more miles and also less...

So far this year I've had more instances of both Steering and TACC unavailable due to snow or crude blocking the sensors than I think in the two previous winters put together. How will Tesla handle this reliably with the new sensors?

I was just updating the chargers in Chargerville. The total worldwide installed base of operating Tesla chargers (Superchargers & Destination Chargers) is now over 4000. 2415 of these are in North America. Of some interest there are 5 in Cancun and 29 in Mexico City (including the Cuernavaca...

Could have used a bit of wizardry today (). Truck in the right lane. Guy in the left lane was going about 0.05 MPH faster than the truck as he was passing him. Clear highway as far as you could see in front of them. A quick flash of the lights works in every country I drive in EXCEPT the US...

They're getting closer and chummier. It'll be interesting to see where they are from a world domination standpoint and what their relationship is in a few years.

McLaren are saying that by the 2018 Formula E season they will have a battery with twice the energy density of today's batteries and have signed on to supply batteries for the 5th season that will allow cars to go the full race distance. McLaren to supply new Formula E battery - Formula E Is...
