    Sad about Plaid? Attention past or present Porsche 911 Owners!

    You can get a 2008 roadster for about 100-150k... 250+ is only for the rare & ultra low mileage examples. It's a fun car but I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone! They are difficult to live with Hold out for the electric Cayman that's in the works ...

    Intermittent Wiper Failure

    ok wow I have this same issue and I noticed it just after updating to 11.4.7, sorry I started a seperate thread since I didn't see this one in time https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/intermittent-wipers-stopped-working-on-2018-model-s-with-stalks.310982/

    Intermittent wipers stopped working on 2018 Model S with stalks

    Ohh I'll have to try it out... everyone complains so much about autowipers I've never turned it on 😅

    Intermittent wipers stopped working on 2018 Model S with stalks

    oh I'm not talking about the auto wiper function, just the intermittent setting on the stalk. Would that also be affected by the rain sensor? I always thought it was just on a timer

    Intermittent wipers stopped working on 2018 Model S with stalks

    Wipers work fine on higher speed settings or by pushing the button to wipe once but neither intermittent setting does anything all of a sudden. Any ideas?? Is there a seperate fuse or control module for intermittent operation?

    Used 2018 w/ Enhanced Autopilot and 2.5 Computer

    yep this is a very easy update... the computer needed to get your 2018 up to HW3.0 is included in the price of FSD and it's a very quick swap. If you just get the monthly subscription, it's $1,000 for the computer upgrade

    EV noob

    ah yes I don't see it in the screenshot but you're probably SOL if it's a January build. MCU 1 worked fine for me until they added lots of software features like the dashcam and sentry mode... then it just couldn't keep up

    EV noob

    Congrats! FYI : if your car was built after March of 2018 it'll already have the MCU2, anything before then was still MCU1 You're going to for sure want the update if it is a MCU1 car

    Window tint shop recommendation in socal

    I just had my Model S tinted here : Signature Glass Tinting | Serving Costa Mesa, CA & Orange County And they did a great job! Sides, back, and windshield were $720 for Nano Ceramic film. It took about 3 hours total.

    Help! Steering Wheel Scuffed up after a paid service

    Wow, sounds like this manager just doesn't want to cover the repair... BS! :mad: This exact same thing happened to me during a MCU repair and Tesla was pretty good about fixing it : they gave me a replacement steering wheel.

    What's your predicted loyalty to Tesla whenever replacing current car?

    Forcing the yoke and touch button everything onto people is probably the last straw... I don't see any other Teslas in my future

    Good Lord Santa Monica... instead of building something useful and attracting business it will remain an empty lot :rolleyes: :mad:

    Thinking about trading X for S ... change my mind!

    Model S is definitely NOT sporty. But it excels at being comfortable, functional, and quick in a straight line

    Retrofits and Upgrades that we have done! Any other retrofits you have done or like for us to do?

    After the 8 year powertrain warranty is up, would a battery swap or upgrade be possible?

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    good to know... I will try it, thanks!

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I have LTE + MCU1 it's laggy, slow and terrible! My MCU actually died already and the fresh one didn't really improve things. Can't wait to upgrade.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    The MCU1 takes ages to buffer any of the streaming channels. I wanted to know if the performance on the MCU2 is better or still painfully slow to switch channels?
  18. nsxpert

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    For people who've done the upgrade, how is listening to the radio only through streaming? Is it frustrating, or not a big deal? (I like to flip between channels while driving quite often I suppose) It is seriously stupid that Tesla won't install a new tuner to go along with it o_O

    Help with a name for our car

    maybe some variation of "WhiteStar" ? It was the pre-production code name of the Model S ;)
  20. nsxpert

    What did you name your car?

    my roadster was named "Tessa the Tesla" so now the Model S is "Tessa II"

    Voice Recognition

    Voice commands on my MCU1 car have been pretty useless for the past year and a half or so... I think it's because the older MCU is just over taxed on the latest OS.
  22. nsxpert

    Survey: Maximum you would pay to upgrade from MCU1 to MCU2?

    if / when this upgrade becomes available, I'm betting it's going to be expensive... In the $3000-4000 range

    Sudden Unintended Acceleration

    I've also experienced this in both my Teslas, it **feels** like the car accelerates when ABS engages and regen suddenly deactivates at the same time.

    A plugged in Tesla is a happy Tesla... but what does that cost?

    I was recently out of town for about 5 months, turns out it cost about $2.60 a month to keep my model S plugged in and happy. It was parked and never moved the whole time

    Returned from a long trip abroad : MCU won't boot and car won't charge D:

    Interesting.... I'll definitely change it to unscheduled next time, just in case. Thanks!

    Returned from a long trip abroad : MCU won't boot and car won't charge D:

    The UMC seems to be fine and is lit up green like normal.... I drove to a nearby supercharger last night to try and get some range but it still wouldn't charge.

    Returned from a long trip abroad : MCU won't boot and car won't charge D:

    Hi everyone, I'm driving it in to the service center tomorrow with the little range I've got left, but wanted to know if there's anything I could do to resurrect my car in the meantime. Was away for 4 months and left it plugged in and set the charge level to 50%. It's in a underground garage so...

    Do you regret buying a RWD Model S?

    I've driven both and prefer the AWD by a large margin

    glitchy/skipping/stuttering slacker streaming music anyone?

    I've had this skipping issue since upgrading to v9... it makes slacker un-listenable :(

    Album Art gets stuck when using Slacker

    I started seeing this also after the latest update, as if the media player wasn't bad enough already :mad:

    75D owners - How much does a full charge show for you?

    ah I see, thanks. In the Roadster it's much easier to switch the display between Ideal and Rated, or even watch both as you drive. Since this charge, I drove 140 miles and am now at exactly 50%, which still seem like great numbers
  34. nsxpert

    75D owners - How much does a full charge show for you?

    I just charged my 75D to 100% for the first time today and got 315miles! How is this possible?? :eek:
  35. nsxpert

    I go to my S 100D today. No vanity mirrors or upgraded MCU

    I took delivery last week and got the vanity mirror lights how to you check for the upgraded MCU?

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I'm dealing with a similar issue on mine... was supposed to have delivery tomorrow but was just told there's a "blemish" on the paint that needs to be fixed offsite. No further details given & have to wait until Thursday o_O

    85D 0-60 times 5.2 or 4.4? Tesla CPO site says 5.2?

    how are you guys measuring 0-60 times?

    yep, all the quotes I'm seeing for a full PPF wrap are in the 5 - $6,000 range. ouch!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    yep feeling lucky that mine is currently in production, but this HAS to mean that a re-designed Model S is coming in June?

    Unexpected Acceleration???

    In the Roadster, very occasionally if you hit any large bumps while braking, the regen can suddenly be cut off completely, making the car feel like it accelerates. I've had this happen only twice and it's pretty disconcerting. Can this happen in the Model S too?

    PPF / ClearBra might save your (bumper's) life!

    PPF / ClearBra might save your (bumper's) life!

    Not sure what you mean by pespray? I'm told It was just peeled back using a steamer, and then it took a bit of work to remove the remaining adhesive left behind. Definitely astonishing, felt like winning the lottery :D

    PPF / ClearBra might save your (bumper's) life!

    Parallel parked the roadster last night, leaving ample room BUT, upon returning from dinner I was presented with this horror show: Basically was a hit and run. No clues as to who did it. Luckily... I had a local detailer remove the clear bra on the bumper today and turns out there was NO...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    So, the time has come and I need something more practical than a Roadster. Ordered a Model S 75D on 12-19-17 (luckily I made it before the free supercharging referral expires this month) Promised a late February delivery date... can't wait!

    Shocked by the new Roadster rolling out of the Tesla Semi!

    Will be interesting to see if the lack of mirrors and ...downright silly? steering wheel make it to production. 100% in love beyond that :D Does anyone else think it'll require a transmission in order to hit 250+? Was really fun to watch the reveal in person tonight, trying to get a closeup...

    PEM failure after annual service

    Since a few people mentioned it's a 15 min job, Is replacing these fuses a DIY... or a not to be attempted at home kind of thing? (i.e. dangerous) This sounds like a part I'd have spares of on any other car.
