Remotely heating my Model S cabin is causing battery to get confused. After 5 or 10 minutes of remote cabin heating, when we enter the car and try to go, the display gives a warning that car cannot start. Though will start after a few minutes of waiting. This has happened several times this...

Safety Score "aggressive turning": Often while stopped at intersections with heavy traffic I have to step hard on the accelerator while turning in order to safely merge into heavy traffic. I am getting aggressive turning deductions to my "Safety Score" on almost every trip I take for merging...

I would love to see a "one time" (changing charge level) feature for trips. The added feature could work as follows: When you slide the charge level up to the desired level for your one time trip, a pop-up button will then appear asking if you would like set to this charge level permanently...

Yes, (recently) I cannot access (wake) my car from deep sleep when the car is at home and on Wi-Fi. But, If I use the fob to unlock (wake) the car, I can then access it through Wi-Fi at home. However, I can access (wake it up from deep sleep) it when it is parked miles away from my house...

My Tesla also has a problem with a slow (systems are powering up) issue quite frequently. The car is used for commuting to the Marc train parking lot, the starting delay allows many other cars in the parking lot to get out ahead of me in the evening rush. It is extremely frustrating. I...

Our new Model S had the windshield replaced because of ghosting and too much distortion (objects changing shape as you drive) as well as a hazy or cloudy effect especially when the sun hits the windshield at certain angles. The replacement windshield is almost as bad! And it also has major...

That`s a good question. I recently drove a 2015 loaner Tesla MS with the standard stereo, the sound quality was poor compared to UHFS. I especially noticed a lack of clarity, depth and an overall congested sound compared to the UHFS, tweaking the equalizer hardly helped. Maybe it is due (in...

Thanks, your 2017 MS functions exactly like my 2015 MS did under the exact conditions you described. I will email service to see if there is an adjustment.

My 2018 Model S P100D`s auto high beams are slow to react to oncoming traffic and the high beams are staying on even in well lighted areas. Anyone else having issues with the auto high beams? I had a 2015 Model S 85D and the auto high beams worked excellent in that car, no problems with it at all.

This image is from my Tesla`s touchscreen owner`s manual. It clearly shows that the high bit rate setting is (was)supposed to exist. The high bit setting does not show on my cars touchscreen when I log into Slacker. I posted the above chat I had with a Slacker customer service rep who told me...

The smoother more detailed sound must have been my imagination, I chatted directly with Slacker, here is the conversation: audiofan: I recently signed into slacker in my 2018 Tesla model S using my account login info. I want to be sure the 320 kbps high quality sound is enabled, is there a way...

Likez, I bought a Slacker account and logged in today on the lower right of the touchscreen, but the high 320 option ( or any option) did not appear on my car? What model Tesla are you seeing the option on? When I opened my Slacker plus account using my home computer, I chose the 320 bit rate...

Okay, I purchased the Slacker plus plan and logged in on the bottom right of my cars touchscreen; however, no high bit rate option appeared, the owner`s manual says the high bit option is available with the hi fi system (Tesla assures me I have the hi fi system). Maybe the owner`s manual hasn't...

Thanks for posting your results, hope Tesla sends me login details soon.

I will buy the Slacker plan if the Tesla login info (assuming they send it to me) doesn't allow access to the 320 kbps setting.

Did you log into Slacker using your Tesla`s touchscreen?

Thanks, I sent an email to Tesla asking for the Slacker password and info and if 320 kbps is available. I will post whatever answer Tesla gives me.

Hi, can anyone give me instructions on how to apply the maximum audio quality 320 Kbps setting in Slacker Radio? My car is a 2018 Model S with Ultra High Fidelity sound system. Thanks,

No, range mode of off.

I bought a new S P100D about a month ago, recently I have noticed excessive whine between 30 and 40 mph. When I initially picked the car up I was thrilled at the lack of whine compared to our S 85D. Now I am noticing excessive whine noise between 30 and 40 mph. Anyone else having excessive...

Yes, my phone app is now agreeing the screen data in the car.

Thank you for the detailed information. I almost always charge at night when the demand on the grid is low and after reading your post I will try to exclusively charge at night to reduce the chance of overburdening the grid.

Thank you for the info, I now realize I am charging at the correct rate for my vehicles specs.

Thanks for the information. How did you learn about these changes?

Never had my 40 amp cord get too hot. Must be a strategy to get people to pony up for home charger like you said.

Thank you, just wanted to know I am not the only one with this issue.

I just recently bought a 2018 Model S P100D: The issue I am having is the amps displayed on the Tesla phone app do not agree exactly with the cars onboard display screens information. I asked the technician about it when I had the car in for service and he said it was a firmware issue with the...

I fully understand that the Model X, Model S and Model 3 all charge at different MPH rates for the same amount of current, because of weight and drag coefficient differences. Ok, thanks to those for explaining the differences between the performance and the standard model S charging rates, I...

My new S P100D charges at 21-22 mph with "new" lower output 32 amp cable included with the car, your P100D is charging at spec. Mine is charging below spec @ 21-22. With a 40 amp cable my S P100D charges at 27-28 mph. Should be 29-30. My old S 85D charges at 29-30 mph with the included 40 amp...

I charge at 40 amps and get 27-28 mph charging rate on my S P100D. What are other owners getting?

I am charging under ideal conditions, no power drains, car is off and locked.

I want to add that I am using the same 40 amp charging cable in both the Model S P100D and the Model S 85D. Yet I get 30 mph with the 85D and 27-28 with the P100D.

Yes, mine is rated the same.

Here is the Tesla charging rate chart. According to the chart your Model X is charging one mph below spec. My Model S is charging 1-2 mph below spec.

I meant mph charging rate.

I would love to know the mph charge other owners are getting with their charge cables?

It is about 57 degrees in the garage.

Are you certain about that?

What are mph charging rate are you guy and gals getting with your Mode S under ideal conditions with your cars?

Let me explain a little further: I just traded in a Model S 85 D two weeks ago for a Model S P100D. With a 40 amp cable the 85D charged at 30 mph under the same conditions, my new P100D charges at 27-28 mph with the 40 amp cable.

Battery is at 50%, Available voltage is 240-243. Amperage settings are correct. Yet I am getting 21-22 with the 32A cable and 27-28 mph with 40A cable. What are you getting with your car?

The car automatically switches to 32 amps and the available voltage reading is between 240-243, yet I am only getting 21-22 mph charge rate with the 32 amp cable and 27-28 with the 40 amp cable. What charge rate are you getting?

The car automatically switches to 32 amps and the available voltage reading is between 240-243 yet I am only getting 21-22 mph charge rate with the 32 amp cable. What charge rate are you getting? Thanks

Hello fellow model S P100D and 100D owners with with newer 32 amp charging cable. The Tesla Charging Chart says: The supplied 32 amp cable will give a 23 mph charging rate when plugged into a NEMA 14-50 240V outlet. I am getting 21 mph or at best 22 mph charging rate. I would like to know...

Our brand new Model S daytime running lights glow very very dimly when the car is off.

That's very impressive, Thanks for posting the results.
