This happens to my wife in our S, but doesn't happen to me when I drive it. It doesn't happen to either of us in our 3. The S had the MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade performed to fix an unrelated problem (that the upgrade didn't fix, but that's another story). We have the same model phone.

My wife started having this problem in our S after we had to upgrade from MCU1 to MCU2 (long story). When she gets a new text, she will also get a notification for one or more old texts as through they were new. She has no unread messages, though I've seen that floated as a reason. The old ones...

How has your GPS been working? My wife drives our S and started having GPS wandering issues a couple of months ago. Our MCU was replaced in early 2020 by Tesla. In response to the recent GPS issues, Tesla replaced the connectivity board. That didn't fix it, so they've just told me that the new...

The entire MCU was replaced 1/2020. Everything worked fine for more than a year after that point. It's only in the last two months (even less than that, actually) that things have started to act up. After one hardware replacement by Tesla (the Connectivity board last month), I expect them to try...

We have an 2015 S85D. A little while ago the Nav started to wander significantly, causing problems with the TACC. My wife would find herself during her commute on 167 and 18 suddenly having the car think she was on a side street, quickly slowing the car from highway speeds to city speeds. We...

Flashback to 4 years ago! Yes, I had been told to get an estimate from the State Farm approved shop. The State Farm approved shop told me no way -- they didn't touch Teslas. From there, I went to a shop of my choosing, pointing out that their approved shop not only was unable to do the repair...

Standard settings are fine. Take a look at "A Better Route Planner." You can see where it would forecast higher than average usage, and higher than average amounts of regen along your route. A Better Routeplanner

Limping along may not be possible. In my case, the car would not charge after the MCU failure. I agree with asking about the MCU2 upgrade but, if it's not available, there may not be any option but to replace or try to work with a third-party who can help.

That's the odd thing to me. The car never showed offline anywhere I could see. Spotify never paused. Navigation with traffic data never paused. I could lock and unlock the car from a distance. I was able to Supercharge (which I assume has some check-in with Tesla to see if I need to be charged)...

Did anyone else have any issues with your car registering as "Offline" yesterday? I took one my longest road trips yet in our 3, charging to 100% for the first time before leaving. After leaving our garage, the car apparently went offline and remained offline for the next 7+ hours until I got...

This is not new to this release. My wife sometimes has morning conference calls at home. I drive my son to school. There have been times when I'm still in the house, and he's getting in the car, where her call has transferred to our 3. The new release tried to improve this by requiring someone...

Which is why I haven't installed it. ;) :D I come from an IT background. I'm usually pretty good about troubleshooting odd software things. This is one of the odd ones that has me looking for more information. I was trying to figure out if other Android users were having similar issues, or...

No, I have not installed the latest iOS update on my Samsung Galaxy Android phone. o_O

I did reboot my phone. Seemed to work for a few days, but twice today I've found the app has shut down for no apparent reason. Never noticed this in the last 4.5 years, but it's now becoming something I check regularly to see if there might be a particular app I'm using that might be linked. So...

If you have a time-of-use rate plan, that could definitely affect the calculus. We have never had to worry about that. I think that having two EVs to charge is a little like people with range anxiety before purchasing and driving their first EV. With some planning and experience, much of the...

We have an S and a 3. For the last 18 months, we've shared one 14-50 outlet and never had an issue. Plug-in one car when it arrives home, switch over to the other before bed (if necessary). Unless you drive each car a significant portion of its range every day, I don't think it requires some of...

We've had our Model 3 for nearly 18 months, and our S for about 4.5 years. I've used the app at least daily ever since we got our 3 and hundreds of times before that for the S. I say that to point out this isn't user error. I know what's supposed to happen and it's stopped and I don't know why...

I've tried quite a few different variations on a search to see if there was ever an answer on this, but haven't had any luck. The message just popped up on our mid-2015 Model S. My wife is the primary driver, and the message of course corresponds with the coldest weather we've had this season...

Tesla's "Coming Soon" icons usually just direct to the center of the named area (the geographic center of Roseburg in this case), and do not represent a specific location.

In a combined 60K miles between our S and 3 over the last 4.5 years, I've never had a need to use the mobile connector outside our house. I've always been able to rely on Superchargers, destination chargers, and, very rarely, public chargers. If you're concerned about the cost of buying an...

Even if dim, there's a clear distinction between some light and no light. I'm looking to see if anyone else is seeing cases of no light when their car is waking up/still asleep with the trunk open.

I have the ambient lighting turned off, but that could be something to try. I'm more inclined to think that opening the trunk is one of the odd things that should wake the car that doesn't completely wake the car. It does allow me to remove the charge cable. My 13 year old was actually the one...

Dark garage, or dark at night when returning to the car. If I open the trunk before doing something else like moving a door handle, I don't seem to see the trunk lights turn on. They're easy to see when they're on, and obviously not coming on when I'm loading the trunk in the dark outside. It's odd.

I've searched through a few threads, but one was linked to a bad trunk latch and one was linked to lights not being connected. That's not my issue. It's also not a case of the lights being dim. If I approach the car from the rear and open the trunk during a time when the car has been sleeping...

Go to PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You and put in your address. You'll get a map of other charging locations near you. There seem to be quite a few to choose from, but I don't know exactly where you are.

I think it's very likely that this will be quite busy on Sunday afternoons/evenings. It's on a direct route back from Eastern Washington for many people in the south Sound. It also wouldn't surprise me to see this one quite busy during the evening commute as a convenience charger for many. I'm...

Initiatives almost never offer compromise positions. They are, by their very nature, extremist responses. If they weren't, they wouldn't gather the signatures necessary to make the ballot because they wouldn't gather enough attention. Initiatives are also limited in scope and can't contain...

Don't use today as an example. Today's issues in the South Sound all stem from a suicide by train. That's not a Sound Transit issue. That's a failure to fund mental health services issue. Sound Transit is running on the same tracks as the BNSF train involved in the incident because no one wanted...

There's a road I travel frequently that is the same speed limit north and south. Tesla's database has different, and incorrect, speed limits for the same road -- faster southbound and slower northbound. If I activate cruise control on that road, I have to be aware not just of the speed I'm...

I think they're forecasting the snow level to drop to around 3,000' in Washington state by the end of the week, so putting the trip on a to do list for later sounds like a good plan. We've driven our S to Yellowstone, but didn't have it when we went to Glacier. We'd love to add Rocky Mountain...

Replaced the LED bulbs with CFLs and everything is working perfectly. I'm now getting better range with the S than I had with my old door and opener, comparable to the best I'd experienced with any car previously. Sorry, @brkaus. I know that you've already tried different bulbs. Anything else...

Replaced our entire garage door and opener with a new Liftmaster and I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to get it to work correctly with our S. I'm not having any issues with our 3. With the S, it will open the door from the outside at expected ranges. It will not close an open door...

I've been watching patiently for this, but the urgency has increased a bit. Our garage door broke yesterday and we have it bolted closed for safety until it can be replaced -- probably sometime next week, depending on parts and availability. Our 14-50 cable won't reach the driveway, and using a...

I've been a PEMCO customer for many years. One thing to remember when shopping rates is what service your insurer will provide. Last year, our S was the victim of a hit and run in a parking lot. PEMCO was able to track down the responsible party using a hand written anonymous note with a...

Hi, all. I feel like an old-timer now. Our S is now over 4 years old, and our 3 is just a month shy of its first birthday. Love seeing new Teslas pop up in my area. A teacher at my sons' old elementary school now has a 3. There's another new 3 somewhere near my neighborhood, and an X I see...

This is at the airport, on a road that either goes to the departures, arrivals, or parking. It is not a normal road. A speed survey isn't going to go anywhere because just past that second bend people are loading and unloading cars, driving slowly in and out of traffic, and often stopping in...

Particularly in that location, a squeegee and bucket would be invaluable. When traveling alone, I usually walk around the area and usually find some food or drink. If other drivers are out and about, I'll talk with them. Often, I see people sitting in their cars, though. If I have emails or...

@Stanwood Steve - Did you contact the Service Center, or did they contact you? My car was also delivered through Bellevue, but a little after yours.

AWD isn't just about the snow. Rainy conditions around here can also point out the differences. We have had an 85D for nearly 4 years now. There are a few on-ramps around me that are short and include relatively tight turns. I'd never experienced any traction issues, whatever the conditions, on...

Because this is effectively a budget bill, and not a policy bill, you can't write it off as dead until the final gavel falls to close the session. We're at about the half-way mark of the scheduled session, so I wouldn't assume anything yet. It's even possible that parts of this bill could be...

There are many different levels of quality when you talk about a microfiber cloth. I actually have about a half a dozen different kinds that I use for different purposes. Some are much better at absorbing water and drying cars. Some are much better at cleaning and polishing windshields. There...

I don't think that Rep. Thai is correct. This is her first year in the House, and she might not be familiar with all parts of the process. For many bills, she would be correct. I don't think this is one of them. There are a category of bills that are NTIB - Necessary to Implement Budget. I...

Used 2011 Leaf - $5,999 Used 2015 Smart - $6,499 Used 2013 Leaf - $6,499 Used 2011 Leaf - $6,770.... I could go on and on and on... There are 317 used EVs on Cars.com right now within 100 miles of me that are priced below $35,000, 26 priced below $10,000. They'd pay the same EV surcharge as...

Sec. 603 is the relevant portion. Fees will be $100 + $50 + $200 under the proposed bill.

Odd. Several months ago they'd started offering body shop services for minor repairs -- scratches, chips, etc. They couldn't handle anything that required panel replacement. Maybe they're just over booked right now? Or did they change their plans for offering body shop services directly? I had...

Rock chips and a scratch might be in the realm of things that Tesla can handle through their shop. It would be worth checking out.

Several others have mentioned it here, but this seems like less of a holiday weekend issue and more of a poor road conditions on I-5 sent heavier than usual traffic to the 101 issue. Had the 5 handled the traffic it would normally have handled, I don't think the issues on the 101 would have been...

I saw a video last night someone shared from their doorbell of their driveway. It showed their pickup, initially parked unattended in their snowy driveway, start to slide down the driveway, into their yard and through a fence. It wasn't even that steep an incline. I can only imagine what that...

No, you should not be upset. Model year isn't relevant. The only time you'd be somewhat justified in your concern is if there was a feature change, and that's really just a fact of Tesla life.

Depends how much you drive/need to charge on a daily basis. We've yet to have an issue charging our S and 3 off our 14-50 using the mobile connector that came with the S. First car home gets plugged in, switching over to the other car before bed time if necessary. Since there's no time of day...
