I am thinking to upgrade my MX 2017 MCU1 to MCU2. I think it costs around $3k+tax. I know that current Tesla's are using MCU3. Does anyone know if Tesla will ever offer a MUC1 to MCU3 upgrade?

Just took delivery of a Model 3 dual motor 10 days ago. Apart from this frustrating issue the car drives really well. I hope a key fob comes out soon.

If we consider money in the bank then yes your right since savings interest rates are so low. However even in a low/moderate risk diversified investment you would average 5% return per annum on average across a 20 year period. So when you consider opportunity costs geothermal does not make sense...

Actually my initial preferance was to have HVAC powered by geothermal. However geothermal is costing $80k ($40k in extra material and $40 for drilling the wells) more than the next best alternative. Based on the size of the house etc this worked out to a payback period of 20 years which does not...

So living in Canada we get extreme winters with temperatures as low as -40 celcius so it takes a while for the battery to warm up and this of course uses more range. I am due to start construction of a new house and have the option to heat the garage using hydronic underfloor heating. Of course...

I have an S70D and recently after driving for 2 hours in heavy rain my brakes failed to work twice within a period of 4mins after i got off the highway. Thank god the roads were empty. Tesla service checked the brakes and did not find anything abnormal. I am thinking due to regenerative braking...

Yes, twice for an hour and once for 30mins.

Once the battery is warm you lose 35 to 40% range at -25 celcius temperature

Yes, i think it is important for everyone to know the effect on range with such cold weather to help plan better

Yes, on a long trip with highway driving it makes sense that you experienced a range loss of 35%. Due to stopping and starting i lost 65%.

The tire pressure were only slightly off.

101.8km is what i drove. When i arrived to supercharge i had 30km rated range left which equates to about 10km.

Model S 70D So it is -25 celcius (-35 with wind chill). I started out with a cold battery from my garage with 337km rated range. I drove local and highway during the day and the actual range was only 115km. This equates to a range loss of 66%. Driving style was generally slow acceleration due...

S70D May 2015 90% is between 330km and 337km

Could you have swithed off autopilot without realising? The logs should be able to confirm this.

Yes i experienced this yesterday and will be booking the car in soon.

I have firmware 2.8.217 and with HVAC settings on AUTO it is working fine now.

I have the same issue. Even worse my rear facing seat area does not warm up much. I think i will have to buy a portable heater

I hope they sort this issue out soon. Living in Canada we will be getting sub zero temperatures soon.

I had the same problem, the car jerked into the exit lane, it was scary and so now i am very careful when i approach any exits. Tesla needs to program the system to follow the left hand lane as a priority.

85D i would think so. You just may have to slow down a little. Just have plan B avail to use level 1 on route. I recall two Hampton Inn have them. Check out evtripplanner.com

My fan speed is mostly at no 2.

Just in case you have issues for what ever reason always have a plan B especially in winter when it drops below zero. There are many level 2 chargers along the way.

So I arrived at the Albany supercharger with 8miles to spare. Overall a very relaxed journey with autopilot and auto steering. I left Brossard with a full charge showing 375km. I initially travelled at an average speed of 90kmh and then once I entered US via LaColle border my average speed was...

I have the same issues. HVAC is not accurate at all. I will set to 24deg celcius and it only reaches 19 or 20dec celcius at best when on Auto mode. Previous to ver 7.0 these issues did not exist.

Model S 70D. I am travelling from Brossard to Manhattan. Since I only have a total range of 385km it is a stretch to reach the Albany supercharger which is 345km from Brossard. So far i have travelling at an average speed of 60mph. So far so good. Will keep you posted.

Sorry i quoted in celcius so 22 cel is 67 farenheit.

Model S 70D Since updating to Ver 7.0 the air conditioning does not perform well at all. When setting the heat to 22deg on Auto it only warms to 19deg. Anyone else have this type of issue?

I ordered Nokian Hakkapelitta R2 as they are best for ice and snow.

To close sunroof 100% using the right scroll wheel, push scroll wheel down and roll once.

I have Suntek cxp 55 sides and 35 rear. It blocks enough heat and ia black in colour so looks very good.

Wow that is expensive for tint. I used Suntek Infinity CXP which provides about 40 to 45% heat rejection and my kids in the trunk are happy even when it is 40deg celcius. All in cost me $400.

Whay did it cost for the Photosync install?

Winter tires - any recommendations? Model S 70D 19"

When i keep pressed roof of key fob it does not open all windows. Has this feature been taken away?

And also passenger will have full use of screen and can lock the car.

To keep AC on get out of your drivers seat. Then push the brake pedal once without sitting down. Then you can close the door etc..

Always keep a flat head screwdriver in the car should the frunk fail to open electronically and if you have D model you will need to remove the nose cone and open manually using the screwdriver.

When on a hill to avoid car from rolling back press brake a little harder than normal and it will not roll back for 1 second.

Mine was a simple installation. Tesla recommended company was $900. I got a local electrician to do it for $200.

I drive about 20,000kms a yr so it makes sense.

Even with 3 yr lease its better than paying $748tax in per yr.

The price for an annual service. in Montreal is $650+tax($748). 4 yr prepaid is $500/yr tax in so its huge saving. I will therefore purchase the 4yr plan.

Model s 70d

I also installed plug and usb points in the trunk. Amazon.com : BESTEK® 300W Dual 110V AC Outlets Power Inverter Car DC 12V to 110V AC Inverter with Dual USB Charging Ports for Smartphones and Tablets : Vehicle Power Inverters : Car Electronics

My kids tend to be busy in the trunk with their tech etc. They are 9 and 6 and play well together and it keeps our 2nd row very clean. So far it is working out well.

These are the clip on fans. They work great and last for 10+ hrs on batteries. Amazon.com - O2COOL 5 Battery Operated Clip Fan Grey - Electric Household Tabletop Fans

My kids are in the back even when it is 36celcius and sunny. I of course precool the car down prior to them getting in. I also have a clip on fan on each side.
