    Can't login to Slacker

    It's not LTE, I have an X with LTE and an older S that does NOT have LTE. Neither has been able to load Slacker for about 3 or 4 days now.

    Anyone else getting 'Key No Longer Inside' and the occasional whacked door?

    Seems like nearly every time I get in the X, I get a message on the console underneath the car saying 'Key No Longer Inside, Car Will Not Restart'. However, it drives just fine. This happens with both of my keys, so it doesn't seem to be a key problem. Also, once or twice I've had the car...

    Model X May Deliveries

    My Vin XX3689 will be picked up in Dallas next Monday! Reserved last September and ordered early January.

    Latest DATE of reservation invited to configure.

    Probably, but like me, it's kinda nice to count-down to when you're invited! I'm not as late as djbakasan, but I reserved on 9/24/15 and was invited to configure today (Jan 11, 2016).

    Design Studio for Everyone

    Silly question that I should know, but how in the world do you find out where you are 'in line'? I have a reservation number that starts with RN, but if the rest of that number is my actual place in line then I won't be getting my X until sometime in the 2030's! Lol

    Auto Parallel Parking feature working for anyone?

    At the risk of hijacking my own thread, I tried it on a divided highway with clear lane markings. This road expands at each crossing to three lanes (added a turn lane). The car would follow to the right, get near the shoulder line then jerk hard left. Almost sent me head on into a car that was...

    Auto Parallel Parking feature working for anyone?

    How do you activate auto-parallel park? After playing with AP a bit yesterday (and nearly getting killed twice!), I would like to test out the auto-parallel park feature. But nobody is talking about this, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to make it work. Anybody tried it? How did...

    Why are people sweating the details?

    Interesting point. I effectively have payments forever, so it probably skews my perspective. However, the various options definitely affect the lease payment, so it should matter just as much as if it were a purchase.

    Why are people sweating the details?

    It is true that I usually lease because I rarely keep a car past 2 or 3 years and you always get killed on trade-in value if you buy/sell in that short of a period. Even with the S, I'm fairly certain there will be the 'next great thing' in 30 months from now (term of my lease), and I'll want...

    Why are people sweating the details?

    Admittedly I am coming from the other side, having had a fairly nice collection of cars for about ten years now. But I will say that I've never gotten excited about any vehicle as much as I have the S. It just has a way of making ICE vehicles feel antique by comparison.

    Why are people sweating the details?

    Great post Larry, but it sounds very similar to my experience. You bought into the Tesla kool-aid at every step, and pretty much maxed it out. I did too!

    Why are people sweating the details?

    Given that particular long commute scenario, I agree that the base model 70D with no options at all makes sense. And where did we get this 'worthiness' concept? I honestly wish everybody could have a Tesla, just not at the risk of not feeding the family! The sad part is your friend can save...

    Why are people sweating the details?

    Ive definitely not always been in the position to be able to afford a Tesla, or any other car for that matter. However, when I was in that situation, a Tesla would have not been an option. Please tell me you don't advise people living month-to-month that a Tesla is a reasonable purchase! This is...

    Why are people sweating the details?

    I apologize for any offense. I was under the impression that the purchase process for expensive cars was quite different than more affordable budget-friendly models. Perhaps the entry price for that type of thinking is much higher than I thought.

    Why are people sweating the details?

    Well now I'm starting to feel like a snob, but I didn't try to head that direction. Do most of you guys start with a car you can barely afford and add very few options? I really doubt it, but maybe I'm just wrong. Most car people that I know didn't add options to an expensive vehicle simply...

    Why are people sweating the details?

    That was an either/or choice. I'd either have rear seats or more storage if I didn't add the seats. Simple decision. I did order my car before the latest changes, but are there mutually exclusive options now in different packages like you describe? As an example, can I get power lift gate OR a...

    Why are people sweating the details?

    I guess I just don't get that when it starts out at 85K (realistically closer to 100), that a 2K option is that big a deal. Every car I've ever bought was way above base-price, and I imagine this is everybody's experience that has bought a Model S. I'm not bragging about my ability to buy or...

    Why are people sweating the details?

    Quite often I see posts on this forum about people being upset with options/pricing changes that often to me seem quite insignificant. I also see lots of questions weighing one option vs another, and it all boils down to 'bang for buck' value for these people. I don't understand that for one...

    Supercharger connector too tight!

    We were OK backing up enough. The connectors on the superchargers looked a little roughed up, I'll try to take a pic tomorrow. It would be nice if the added about two feet to the supercharger cables though.

    Supercharger connector too tight!

    Using our second supercharger here in Weatherford Oklahoma, and noticed that all six of the connectors here are extremely tight in our car. Two of them won't even plug in completely, they just wedge in and stick.The supercharger in Ardmore fit fine, and my HPWC slips in and out easily too.Anyone...

    You guys really pull into a Nissan dealer with your CHAdeMO adapter?

    I know people have mentioned pulling into a Nissan dealer to charge their S with their CHAdeMO adapter, but don't you feel awkward? Do the Nissan guys readily accept Model S's for charging? I just get this weird feeling that I'd be escorted from the premises! It'd be nice to know they...

    Tesla moments

    That's true! Around here in Oklahoma, I'm not sure many people even know there are 'fully electric' vehicles. Everybody assumes it's a hybrid. Of course, you also get frowned on for an electric vehicle, being in an 'oil state'.

    Air suspension geo-location granularity

    I actually set it to super high sitting at the credit card kiosk in front of the wash. Fully stopped. I checked it the next time at the same place

    Air suspension geo-location granularity

    I think you're right from what I remember. Now why in the heck didn't it save my setting? Hmmmm

    Air suspension geo-location granularity

    A week ago we went to our favorite touch-less carwash with the S, and at the entry to the wash I set the suspension to it's highest setting to easily clear the speed-bumps inside the wash. Upon leaving the carwash and entering the main road, I reset it to 'standard'. So a few days ago we went...

    Alert "You need a software update, see Tesla service immediately" then it disappears!

    It's a known bug with 6.2, not sure if it's specific to a particular model. Happened to my P85D and we called Tesla service. They said just ignore it.

    Tesla moments

    I've been fortunate to have had quite a few cars that attract a bit of attention, however the S has been the funniest by far. Just last night someone was asking about the car, and we mentioned that it was completely electric. They then proceeded to ask how many miles to the gallon it got......

    Charging cuts down to 75%, Tesla says... it's my house.

    How the heck do you pull that? Not by hand, I assume. Is that some kind of machine?

    Charging cuts down to 75%, Tesla says... it's my house.

    Same here, but I'd have to pull almost 200 feet! My garage is pretty far from my main house connection.

    Charging cuts down to 75%, Tesla says... it's my house.

    In conduit, under concrete. Way before the S was a gleam in my eye, we decided to go crazy with backyard landscaping, including sidewalks, decks, concrete ponds, etc. I pretty much covered my garage feed in the worst possible fashion.

    CHAdeMO adapter wait frustration

    I got on the waitlist on April 2nd and also got the email tonight (April 7th). Sounds like they're catching up for sure.

    Charging cuts down to 75%, Tesla says... it's my house.

    Well, my problem is definitely caused by my garage feeders. As my current ramps up, my voltage drops significantly at the panel main (starts at like 235 volts, and gets down to 226V when it gets to about 55 amps). At the house itself, voltage is still strong around 237. I'm pretty much out of...

    Multiple iPhones, which gets push notifications

    I'm aware of all the settings, and I have them all enabled, plus allowing notifications in the Settings. For some reason that I can't figure out, notifications will only go to one of my multiple devices. And the only way to get it to switch to another device is to reinstall the app on the...

    Being a new owner, hadn't seen that yet. Yes, quite brilliant! Not sure that's easy to pull off in an opposite direction drive-by though.

    We need a Tesla 'sign'

    We're up here in central Oklahoma, and my wife just drive by one of the few other Tesla's in town, and they just waved at each other. A long time ago when we had a Corvette and drove by another Corvette, we'd give a Corvette 'V' sign. Yeah, kinda geeky but fun. So we need a Tesla-to-Tesla...

    2015 Poll for all owners - Android or iPhone?

    From my experience, IOS is the far easier, yet more limited platform! Maybe it's just my limitations, but I can crank out stuff on IOS all day. Android takes forever! Just try designing a UI that works on every existing Android device, not to mention supporting a hugely fragmented user...

    Tesla App on Android

    Lol, if Windows could just take over the phone market, we'd all be much happier with Visual Studio. It's the best IDE I've seen so far. Didn't know that the Android version came out first, that's sad. I'd be happy to share code with Tesla how to add push notifications to the app. Just...

    Tesla App on Android

    I do agree with you guys. Adding push notifications to an Android app is quite easy, and there's no excuse for not implementing it.

    Tesla App on Android

    Again, from a developer on both IOS and Android platforms, IOS is significantly easier to develop for. This is because the development platform (Xcode) is significantly farther along than Android Studio and lightyears beyond Eclipse. Plus, everything is native code on the IOS platform, so a...

    Don't kill grandma!!!

    We've had our Model S for a week now, and this might be a stupid question, but here's the scenario: Let's say we're in Phoenix in the heat of summer, and I drive my grandma to the store. She wants to stay in the car in the air conditioning while I run in and grab a few things. I leave the key...

    Multiple iPhones, which gets push notifications

    Interesting, all three of my devices use the same Apple iTunes account. That has to be the difference. Do you both have completely separate iTunes accounts, or are you using family sharing?

    Tesla App on Android

    As a developer of both IOS and Android apps, I can tell you it's no big deal to add push notifications to an Android app. This is simply due to nobody thinking this has a high enough priority at Tesla. Literally, it's a two man day effort, at the very worst case scenario!

    Multiple iPhones, which gets push notifications

    Answered my own question. It seems that the iPhone app stores that it has registered its push notification, and therefore only registers the very first time you download, run and log in. So to get a different IOS device that has the Tesla app to become the 'receiver of push notifications', you...

    Multiple iPhones, which gets push notifications

    When we first got our Model S a week ago, I logged in using the IOS app, and I got push notifications. Then we logged in my wife's iPhone, and still I was the only one that got push notifications. Later, we logged in our iPad, and it became the device that receives push notifications. They no...

    Charging cuts down to 75%, Tesla says... it's my house.

    I'm suspecting that my wiring run to the garage is a bit undersized. I'm hoping to grab a wire gauge tool later on the way home and see exactly what I have. The panel was installed with a 100A main breaker a long time ago (20 years ago), but I'm not sure of the wire size for the main feed...

    Charging cuts down to 75%, Tesla says... it's my house.

    My setup also kicks back to 48A charging frequently (I'm dip-switch set for 80 amp breaker/64A). Does anybody know what the logic is inside the car to trigger fallback? In my case, I can see my voltage drop as the current ramps up, starting at like 235 volts and dropping to 226 volts at 60A...

    Dual HPWC thoughts

    In reality, anything is possible, like directional boring. However, the area that it passes under is all ornamental ponds (shotcrete style) and garden paths/deck areas. It'd be ugly, no doubt. I would definitely install a HPWC at my office (only 13 miles from home), and that would probably...

    What the heck is the difference in Blink charging plans?

    It definitely makes no sense. Why not just have members only at no charge other than power usage? I think we'd all appreciate the simplicity of that approach.

    Dual HPWC thoughts

    Great stuff here! I'm actually 'not legal' at the moment, but just struggling with how to add the second HPWC. I'd love to just replace the panel and run a larger feed, but it really is under 200 feet of concrete. That'd be awful. i actually do have a second garage structure, but it's a long...
