You know how the nav maps change size depending on whether you’re on the freeway versus surface streets? Well I seem to have lost that ability. Now the maps just stay the same size regardless of where I am. I clearly did something wrong, but I don’t know what it is. I’ve tried resetting the...

Well, I just had the opportunity to use my tire repair kit and tire sealant today (although I think the hold in the tire was too big for the sealant to be effective). Nevertheless, I need another bottle of the sealant, and I can't seem to find a place that sells the sealant without the entire...

3 year ownership with 58000 miles, just over the mileage limit for warranty, and the MCU dies. If I were the suspicious type, I'd assume that this was an evil manufacturing ploy, but I'll remain optimistic. Anyway, for those that have had this experience, how long can I expect repairs to take...

For the first time in 3 years of owning my vehicle, auto-unlock didn’t operate as I approached my vehicle. Probably 5 or 6 attempts at getting the handles to extend failed as I approached the car, but the car unlocked and presented the handles immediately with two clicks of the fob. Of note, my...

I'm enjoying the Easy Entry feature, but the time it takes to adjust from the easy entry position to my normal driving position seems excessive (first the seat moves, then the steering wheel comes forward, then it repositions itself downward). Normally, I get impatient and start to drive as the...

I just took my black Model S in for routine service to the Burlingame Service Center. It seems that their practice, now that the drought is over, is to wash the car in the car wash "down the street" at the end of the service. This is a car wash that uses brushes - clearly not a "no touch" car...

I recall that when 8.0 rolled out with the built-in nags, that there was some published guidelines about when the nags would occur. Does anyone remember these guidelines or have insight into real data? I recall the following: - Maximum time between nags is 3 minutes when driving above a...

I wanted to put to rest once and for all the notion of "truck lust;" that is, the feeling that the car will creep closer to a truck in an adjacent lane while autopilot is engaged. The experiment: I used my S85 with AP1 driving on freeways in Northern California. I had a friend tailing me, using...

In 7.2, a click on the right upper steering wheel button would bring up a list of my recently called contacts. Now, it triggers voice dictation. Any idea where the recently called list got moved to? The scroll wheel is the same as before, and the lower right steering wheel button brings up a...

In anticipation of someday getting MobileEye to see and respond to stop signs, I've been doing some unscientific testing. At "normal" residential road speeds, I find that I start decelerating by removing my foot from the accelerator about 150 or 180 feet before coming to the intersection. That...

Am I alone in this? I've installed 3.16.17 - ever since then, homelink has not worked as expected. It still automatically opens the garage door as I approach it, but when I'm leaving the garage, I ALWAYS get the notice that "auto-close is skipped." Before this software upgrade, it was 100%...

Preconditioning timing has gotten weird. The morning preconditioning is pretty well timed for my trip to work, but the evening is way off. I find it on at 9 to 10 at night, and I have NO idea why it thinks that's right. I'm rarely driving at that time. Can I reset it so it learns again from...

Let's say I have things set only to present the driver's handle when approaching the car. I get in and drive to my destination, where I pick up passengers. Is there some sort of setting from within the car I can now activate to present the handles to my passengers when they approach?

So, I've noticed this issue lately. When starting to decelerate, I can hear the sound of air escaping from somewhere under the car. It's the same sound that you would hear when the pneumatic doors of a bus opens. After I drive for 15 or 20 minutes, though, it seems to go away. I emailed Tesla...

Got a notification on the dash when I entered my car this morning that said preconditioning could not be activated because a door or the trunk was open. Yet, all doors and the trunk were definitely closed (visual inspection and nothing on the dash or app that suggest an open door). I've...
