How to Delete? Every time I play a new song another icon appears at the bottom of the touchscreen. I now have MANY and would like to delete most of them. Anyone here know how to delete unwanted icons? Thanks!

I just had a very scary situation. Driving north on highway 36 out of Tooele, Utah earlier this morning all seemed fine for a 1:00 am drive. But suddenly the car (which I had operating on Autopilot) gave me a Take Over Immediately message accompanied by a loud chime while braking itself hard...

December 2016 S with full self driving computer always seems to be "Online". Unlike the newer S (December 2019) it shares the garage and wifi with which does sleep. I tried doing a scroll wheel reset and turned the car off and on. Thinking it might be the fob I wrapped both sets of fobs in...

I am pretty sure I heard Elon say (a while back) that one would be able to pay for Premium Connectivity either monthly or annually. But looking at my My Tesla account I only see the monthly option. I'd prefer annually. Can that be done?

Updated Tesla app v3.10.1 posted today (Wednesday, 16 OCT) on the Apple App store.

Has anyone here installed 10.0 (2019.32.11.1) yet? My S received it a couple of hours ago (surprised since I just received 10.0 (2019.32.11) only 4 days ago). It downloaded fine but 24 minutes after I started the installation the car's alarm went off. I shut it off with the fob and went to...

More nice comments about Tesla from a company that doesn't insure Teslas. 9 electric vehicles that could be the collectibles of the future

Hagerty is an insurance company that insures antique collector vehicles. So kind of a surprise that they ran an article on Tesla. Pretty good article. The fun stuff is in the comments. Pretty obvious that many came from dyed in the wool ICEers. Promised $35,000 Tesla Model 3 is finally on sale

My S is nearly due it's annual checkup so I checked the Tesla app and saw there's an appointment available Thursday morning. I'm not a morning person so emailed the service center asking if I could drop it off the afternoon before. Note that I sent the email two hours after they closed. 3...

I've been using a NEMA 14-50 per Tesla recommendation at home since I bought my first S 3 years ago. Always seems to work fine. But I just saw a YouTube video with a guy constantly referring to a NEMA "15-40". But all the images of the outlet in the video sure look like 14-50. I checked a...

Most here probably know that the browser in Teslas has been slow to the point of almost being unusable. But I've noticed a change since the latest update (2018.42.2). While driving the browser is still excruciatingly slow but now when the car is stopped it's much better. Even if just stopped...

I'm really enjoying v9. Especially having fun exploring and seeing what it will (and won't) do. Nice to be able to see avatars of cars to the left and right and in blind spots on the instrument panel. But vehicles directly behind me usually don't show up. Or if they do they just flicker on...

I've only got an hour or so driving with version 9 (2018.39.6 to be precise). As others have gone on about the new displays are taking a bit of getting used to. But there are a couple of things I'm really liking. One is that on divided roads that are not freeways the adjacent lanes are now...

Reading through the latest issue of "ars Technica Rocket Report" I came across the following article. Many here have probably already heard about what the article is about but I just found the reference to "ludicrous speed" amusing. No idea if they meant to say that as an homage to SpaceX or...

I stopped by the Salt Lake City service center Thursday about getting my S washed. I mentioned to the guy at the front desk that the car was due its 2 year inspection and asked about making an appointment to have it done. Considering the horror stories I've heard here on the forums about long...

This survey showed up via snail-mail. Has anyone else here received it? Is it legitimate?

While I've been driving Model S for a few years the only places I've ever charged have been at home with a 15-30, at superchargers and off a 110 outlet. So when a local company I frequent put in a Tesla charger and another kind of charger I gave them both a try. I just figured the Tesla...

Glad he doesn't fork for Tesla. :)

Anyone else notice that the firmware version numbers have gone back to the way they used to be (without the long string of letters) on the Firmware Upgrade Tracker (Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App) Not in the cars (at least not in my S which still has the long version), just on the Tracker.

Here he goes again... Bob Lutz: “Buy a Tesla Model S while they’re still available”

I just opened the Tesla app on my iPhone to check on my Model S. The app is version 3.2.3 (34599d8f1) and I was surprised to find that if I swipe left a section comes up about Powerwall. Is this something new or just something I've not seen before? I do have a Powerwall coming someday but...

What other companies (if any) besides Tesla use over-the-air updates? I'm doing a TV interview about EVs next week and that's one of the things I'm going to be asked about. Thank you!

Can't help but wonder if the new Roadster will break this record: Swede speed: How 277.87 mph on a public road happened

My car was due for it's 1st annual checkup and I needed snow tires mounted so I headed to the Salt Lake City service center to make an appointment. With things there so busy and with talk on these forums about service centers taking weeks just to get an appointment, when I showed up I thought I...

Trouble is, some will read this and believe it. Sad... Why Calling Electric Cars 'Zero Emission' Is Blatantly False Advertising

I saw that one of the doctors on The Good Doctor drives a Tesla and thought I'd add that to the thread that I thought existed where such TV show sightings are listed. But I can't find the thread. Does such a thread exits?

I plugged into a supercharger earlier this evening and immediately got the usual "Charging stated at..." message. But for the first time at the top of the message was my car's name. Same for the "Almost complete" and "Charging complete" alerts that came later. I looked back through other...

Being curious about who/what my S is communicating with via wifi I've been monitoring the various IP addresses it has send to or received from. I'm surprised that none appear to be Tesla unless Tesla's IPs use names other than Tesla. Here's a list from the past day or so. Can any of the...

Anyone made the run from SLC to Cheyenne and back? If so, how'd you pull it off? Thanks, patrick

This showed up in my inbox earlier today. I don't remember hearing about the company before. Anyone here know if it is a legitimate company and if the advertised "sale" is real? Being paranoid by nature I don't want to click on the link in the original email until I know it is for real.

For those who may not know (I didn't) here is the message you'll see on the touch screen if you try to install a firmware update while supercharging.

Just noticed that there's an updated version of the Tesla app on the iTunes store that was released today. iTunes notes that the the new version (3.1.4) only contains minor fixes and improvements.

I heard on the latest Ride the Lightning podcast (I highly recommend that podcast to my fellow Teslaphiles) that Tesla recently started updating the Lynx kernel from 2.6.36 to 4.4.36. How does one determine what version kernel their car is using? My car is on 8.1 (17.26.76).

I've received two "Customer Satisfaction" type surveys in snail mail. One from some place called MaritzCX and the other from Strategic Vision. Both are about the Model S I purchased recently. The car is great and am happy to give it great reviews but I've not heard of either survey company...

While waiting for my car to get the latest firmware update I came across this. It could happen... LOL!

Some here may know that Elon Musk plans to move most of the superchargers off-grid and powering them with solar and batteries (Tesla plans to disconnect ‘almost all’ Superchargers from the grid and go solar+battery, says Elon Musk). But some may not know that at least one of the superchargers...
