    Sentry Mode

    I usually get a response from Tesla in a few days when send an email to executive escalation.

    Sentry Mode

    Elon Musk mentioned on Twitter that all cars with enhanced autopilot will have Sentry mode. Elon Musk says Tesla vehicles will soon get a ‘Sentry Mode’. Andy Sutton on Twitter I've already emailed Tesla to hold them to their promise.

    Smart Summon

    We were promised the Smart Summon feature since late 2016. In the technology universe, that's like a hundred years ago. I just want my car to be able to reverse 180 degrees from a perpendicular parking spot. That would impress all my friends, :p

    add full self driving fsd?

    Tesla replied to my email, said that they'll change it back to $4000 soon on the website for owners that purchased their Teslas before the FSD price hike.

    add full self driving fsd?

    This article mentioned that Tesla will honor the original $4000 price for full self-driving feature promised to owners. Tesla increases price of its ‘Full Self-Driving Capability’ over-the-air update

    add full self driving fsd?

    What's preventing Tesla to keep increasing the price of the full self driving feature? As an owner, I am concern about this.

    add full self driving fsd?

    A question/ concern that I have after I read this article was that when I purchased my Model S last year, I opted out of getting FSD because I knew that it was only going to cost $1000 extra to update later, and now it's $2000 extra to upgrade. If I had knew that before I took delivery, I would...

    I can't wait for this site to be opened. Does anyone have a time frame on when it will be online? It looks almost done.

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    I passed Milpitas on the 237 highway last night and didn't smell anything. That means the Hepa filter is working perfectly, :)

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    The one thing that the button does do, IMO is increase the resale value of my car. It's proof that my MS has Bioweapon Defense mode.

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Sounds like the party is over for the free bio defense button upgrade. Luckily I had my SC install it for me 2 weeks ago. This forum is invaluable, thanks everyone!

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    I'm so happy with my Tesla right now. It's scary fast now, and I've noticed that the "throttle" is more responsive and beefier. The car jumps with just a half tab of the throttle. I really thought that when I sold my C5 Corvette 6 years ago, that I won't have a faster car than that one, but...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    So Tesla did not recalibrate the kw meter for the higher output of the uncorked 75D?
  14. johnzhang22

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    Just curious, did anyone notice that their KW meter was recalibrate for the higher output?

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    Wow, 518 hp, that's bragging rights to all my ICE car friends.

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    Just curious, does anyone know what the difference in the HP and torque numbers after uncorking the Model S 75D?

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Can we also replace our cabin air filter with a charcoal air filter? Would that make the cabin air smell better?

    13 cars broken into last night, for laptops - costco sunnyvale parking lot

    OMG, that's the Costco that I shop at. I never drive my Tesla there, the parking lot is always crazy busy there. The size of the parking spot is small, and there are hundreds of people pulling in and out of that lot all day long, pushing huge shopping carts with their kids. And now there's...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    I'm still on 17.17.17. I think I'm really low on the list for Firmware updates. I'm expecting to get it early next week.

    Power lift gate DIY possible?

    Thank you, appreciate the information.

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    Hi, Thank you for the response. I'll try it later today. The height adjustment option was not in the instruction manual. I've noticed that it is difficult to pause the liftgate, it either wants to go all the way up or down, and the force is stronger than the OEM liftgate.

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    Just installed the power liftgate by COzero today. It works pretty well, and the beep is not as annoying as I thought it would be. Does anyone know if there's a way to adjust the height of the opening like the OEM PLG, or is it just a simple all the way and all the way down liftgate system?

    Power lift gate DIY possible?

    Awesome, thanks for the pictures. How did you find the exact connector for the OEM liftgate on Mouser? Is there a part number?

    Give up your Model 3 .

    My guess is that they probably will. I don't think they have decided on that yet.

    New unlimited lifetime supercharger promotion

    That's exactly how I feel. Tesla was being dishonest in order to goose sales, and that's unethical. But us existing owners did receive a good perk with the FUSC "loyalty" program, and I have no complaints about that. :)

    New unlimited lifetime supercharger promotion

    I would be pretty ticked off at Tesla if I was a customer deciding to purchase a 90D or a 100D last quarter, and decided to get the 90D simply for the free Supercharging. The difference between those two cars was only $3k. But then again, Tesla is known to screw over their high end purchasers...

    New unlimited lifetime supercharger promotion

    This news does not make me very happy. This just means that we cannot ever trust Tesla at their word. Over 25,000 Teslas were delivered including mine, in Q1 because people believed that unlimited Supercharger was going away forever. And now they are bringing it back less than 2 months later...

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    I had the power liftgate on my old Model S 85, I do miss it sometimes, but I don't miss that annoying beeping sound. Maybe we can put tape over the speakers to reduce the volume.

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    That's what I'm planning to do, buy the OEM pull cup and button so it look stock. I hate how hard you have to slam the trunk shut in order to close it, bad design IMO.

    Cool, please let me know if the spoiler affects the liftgate at at. Thanks for the advice. .

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    Thank you for the information. The price is reasonable for such a handy product. I hope that the install goes smoothly for me. I'm also planning to use the OEM trunk handle and button. So if I run into the issue with the trunk not closing all the way, how can that be resolved? Also, I...

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    Okay, I found another link to CoZero, http://COzero.co. The PLG kit is selling for $518. I'm going to order it right now.

    DIY Power Lift gate for Tesla Model S Walkthrough Video

    I'm interested in the Aftermarket power liftgate kit. But Autoease doesn't have them anymore, and the Co Zero kit cost $768 USD. Is that right? Seems a little pricey to me.

    Any recent CA owners apply for the $2,500 CVRP rebate?

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    It seems like there are always major design or price changes that were announced during 2 to 3 weeks into the start of the quarter. Especially during the 2nd and the 4th quarter. Examples are Model S facelift that happened in mid April 2016, and the autopilot hardware changes always seemed get...

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    Just upgraded to a 75D, best $2k I ever spent! :cool: Also, was Elon's tweet about the 60 to 75 upgrade just 7 hours late, or is there more perks coming? I don't wanna miss out on anything.

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    Is this for real? Has anyone install it, is it safe? This retrofit would be a game changer for me. :D

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    The news of the reduced price battery upgrade just made my day. :D I don't really need the 75 kwh during my normal commute, but it'll really help during the first leg of my road trips.

    Fog lights

    I'll update the thread after it's installed. I'm curious if the parts that they're ordering also includes the fog light bulbs. I like having the cornering lights, they are useful for night time local street driving, but it'll be nice to have fogs lights too.
  40. johnzhang22

    Fog lights

    It's confirm, the Fremont Service Center will install LED cornering lights for me. I just have a wait a few weeks for the part. :)
  41. johnzhang22

    Help - Ordered today but didn't get premium package. Is it worth it?

    I'm also disappointed that I don't have LED cornering lights. I don't care much about the fog lights, but I like the look of the LED cornering lights. The Design Studio didn't make it very clear that LED cornering lights were only available with PUP.

    Help - Ordered today but didn't get premium package. Is it worth it?

    It's a bit disappointing that I don't have any lights in the trunk, just one light bulb under the lift gate, which doesn't help. I had to use my cell phone flash light to find things in my trunk at night. I just brought some extra bulbs for my trunk online, and I'll install them when I get...

    Fog lights

    I'm going to ask my Service Center to add LED cornering lights too, and I really hope they say yes. My issue is that when I order my Model S last year, the Design Studio didn't disclose the fact that LED cornering won't be included without PUP. The car's avatar in the 17" display actually...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    Thanks guys for all your input on the autosteer nag matter, I really appreciate it. After following some of your advice and suggestions, I discovered that I can stop the AS nag easier by slightly turning or tugging on the steering wheel, but not enough to break AS. It usually takes me one to...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    I'm actually not pushing down, I'm pushing in on the steering wheel. I was taught during my first test drive with a AP1 car last year by a Tesla rep to push in on the wheel with pressure. I wish there was a button that I can just push to make it stop nagging.

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    What do you mean by resistance? Do you mean trying to turn the steering wheel while in autosteer, that doesn't seen very safe.

    Improved Trunk lighting - Is there demand?

    I was looking for trunk lights for my 2017 non-PUP Model S. It's ridiculous that Tesla only gives us one little light on the lift gate. I was looking at Abstract Ocean lights, but I found Installz online. It looks to be an easier install and brighter than OC. Has anyone installed these...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    I just emailed Tesla Tech Support about a few concerns that I have with autosteer. It nags too frequently IMO, I counted around 55 seconds each time. I don't remember AP1 cars nagging that often, is that going to get better? Also, I've found that I have to put a lot of pressure, around 3 or 4...

    HW3? M3 C-Pillar cameras spotted.

    Elon said that Model S and X will always be the technology leaders of Tesla. If this is true, we should be seeing 10 cameras in the S/X in Q2.

    Carbon Fiber Spoiler

    Is this spoiler made for all Model S cars? It states that it's for 2014-2015, kinda confusing.
