Is it just me ? I created a service appt. but I suspect I'll get a phone call before the date. In the past it crashed after some use but now browser starts blank and never recovers. Blank Screen of Death ! BSOD. I spent around an hour swiping away years of NAV destinations, and still have an...

Certainly I am not the ony one who is experiencing bugs that still remain in the voice control: One-tap to activate always activates, however the servers might not be able to respond to you (this one may not be an easy fix esp. during "rush hours") The second tap is supposed to stop the...

Common to ALL Tesla, some simple things I've been waiting for and I'm wondering if we'll see them before Pole Position ?? Ya, I know it's part of the fun :) But we got Avoid Tolls and Avoid Ferries after complaining a lot, so now it's seems past a reasonable amount of time for these features...

Has this been explored previously ? Limited regen seems like such a waste of energy, when it seems it would always be needed when heat would be needed, so why not explore diverting the waste energy immediately to heat coils, maybe a "heat bottle" ? Even if it goes out as waste it helps the...

I'm really good at not forgetting items but I was rushed and forgot my phone during holidays. I only noticed when I was halfway across the city. Model S knows I carry a cell phone and looks to connect to it every time I use it, so it seemed to me that having an option to notify that expected...

Model 3 press kit is currently at : Press Kit | Tesla It says... Body Hybrid steel/aluminum body Drag coefficient of 0.23 Interesting as I thought they were moving to an entirely steel body. I'm impressed at the weight ~3500 lbs with std. batt. If there are similar aluminum elements to...

I'm rapidly coming up to completing my 2nd year of Model S ownership and I am delighted for all of the typical Tesla EV reasons, but I also had the rare opportunity to more enjoy having the older model, at least for a while. What am I talking about ? AP1. Tesla's original Autopilot, powered...

First of all, is it the same for all cars around the world that switch to displaying speed in km ? Who measures tire pressure using bar ? But that said I've actually come to enjoy it. For some reason it's more accurate than the PSI display, eg. In USA setting it could show 45 45 45 45...

I am not going to revive the closest thread as it's embarrassingly dusty, for this man is truly fantastic and deserves better from us :p though a link shows ruh-spect ! JB Straubel Appreciation Thread Another recent thread, but simply without enough JB praise: Tesla CTO JB Straubel on...

Let's speculate on when this will roll out. I get the feeling it is imminent, voting for 1st half of August, but perhaps delayed to add security (at least the "optics" of enhanced security ? more speculation below), and for summer vacations, so maybe not August but September... ? As for...

When another owner or member has made an accurate statement, I would to be able to "Agree" as it's not always a Like / Love / Helpful thing. And I have a feeling more people will "Agree" with posts, and adopt the rating system, which could then be leveraged to create custom pages, feeds...

Is there any way to keep the door handles out today ? I haven't found it. The handles need washing and dying too. I really hate chrome, and I really really hate leaving it wet as I've seen it bubble from items so many many times. Regardless of motive I suggest a Hand Wash Mode setting for...

My Model S in full Autopilot initiated a deceleration towards a red light with no vehicles in front of it nor in the ajacent left lane. I cancelled in the last moments before seeing what would happen but it really was satisfying, if even just a sensor glitch, to see this promised capability "in...

This is getting exciting, you just know there will be some surprises in store for (nearly) everyone. I just re-watched the Model S D and Autopilot launch event video... ... so much new tech jammed into such a short delivery ! Such a dramatic contrast to the Apple event this week that was a...

The potential for drop-in replacement battery packs opens up the future possibility of drop-in energy technology. Imagine a classic race series in 10 or 20 years with the Model S, but with way lighter packs, ie. just the structural elements required to make it the beast it is. A true classic...

Mine died :( But the company seems to be a lot like Tesla so I am hoping for a swift replacement / repair. Its primary purpose is to get most of the water off the car after washing, but it has been very useful for cleaning up outside including the light, powdery snow we've mostly had in...

Hi folks, I have a bad feeling I'm on my own with this one, but thought I'd post just in case. The Model S app for my Android phone stopped working pretty much exactly when my IT pushed out a new corporate device management system called MaaS360. The app seems to try communicating to log in...

There have also been calls for pack blankets, another idea might be a completely separate Cold Weather Pack that is more focused on retaining heat than exiting it, that perhaps one day you change packs when you swap summer to winter tires ? And make it a self-maintaining pack designed to...

I got to test the perpendicular (ie. typical parking lot) auto parking a couple of times this week and I'm just not going to use it unless it is tweaked. Not because it does a bad job parking, it does OK there but like with the parallel parking there is far too much steering while not moving...

Dear Club, I am wondering what, if any, is our accepted way of expressing laughter. I've scoured the emoticons and found not it. Merci

About once a week my Model S just doesn't want to connect to 3G, typically when coming out of an underground parking garage, but sometimes also when leaving the home wireless connection. A couple of times now while waiting for Slacker or TuneIn to stream or more critically, waiting for maps and...

I've had an extremely cheapening plastic dash rattle / twang since Day 1 of ownership and it seems I've finally isolated it. If I had to call it something out of a parts guide, I'd call it the Dash Panel Defroster Diffuser - Passenger Side Here are some from a Mitsubishi: It's the little...

I'm addicted to the easy in and out of the auto-locking Model S, and now want the same for my house, but was not happy with the available options so far as they have limitations eg. Bluetooth connection lag. So I thought about Homelink, is there a Homelink compatible deadbolt that works with...

I am astounded that Model S refuses to take dictation, even for a search, but welcomes QWERTY touch typing instead. My guess is the standard vendors are asking too much for Tesla and that Elon is instead planning a Universal Translator.

I've finally got my Model S 70D on the road and I took it out on my own for a ROAD TRIP from Toronto to Chicago, stopping at... hmm 4 or 5 Superchargers each way, through some heavy rain on the way there. The Woodstock, Ontario Superchargers have been de-ICEd by actual No Parking signs...

Driver's front tire was flat :( Tow truck was old fashion "you can't park there after 4pm" hoist with dolly on the back. Guessing it's kinda bad to pull a flat tire onto a flatbed. Should I get anxious about the lack of a spare ??? Anybody throw a compatible mini spare and a tire iron into...

Perhaps the Model X should have been a service vehicle. A cube van ! Instead of intricate, rich, and lavish, it would have been bigger, sparse, barren, and ready for business, as well as for customization for those who couldn't wait for a factory-built SUV/CUV... remember the rockin' custom...
