    Should I buy a 2021 MY without Radar?

    I have read a lot of opinions here. I have an AP1 MS which I must admit I have been very happy with. Reading the transition from RADAR to Tesla Vision, it seems it's about 50:50 here in terms of people's experience with EAP/FSD getting better or worse. So here we are in Feb 2023. There's a...

    Rial Lugano lugs

    Got a beautiful set of the KBA 47892 Rial Lugano OE 19" wheels recently. Not sure I trust the lugs with them due really small mating surface. So wondering what lugs people are using with theirs. Anyone got a set of Gorilla Nuts they are happy with on these rims? Or what other branded lugs are...

    Quick shout to QCcharge.com - JESLA

    So my 2015 MS burned through one of the pins in the mobile charging cable (faulty charge port). Rather than trash it, I got QCcharge.com to replace the plug with a J1772 head. Works great for charging MS with adapter and my daughters Soul EV. Turnaround time was great, quality of work excellent.

    MCU1 / Bluetooth / Text command issues after recent updates

    It's great that my 2015 MS gets updates, it's a better car than when I got it! This is the first time I have noticed significant, and irritating degradation - and wish there was a simple "Revert to prior firmware" option. Issue one. When they added Priority Device to the phone setup, all our...

    Tesla (the company) killing itself slowly?

    Had an MS for 2.5 years - solid good experiences with customer service for the most part. Out of country and my wife finds that the MCU is totally gone. Calls roadside, they say that as the vehicle is able to be moved book it into a service center. Important to know that at this point the car...

    Driver's Console Blank - 3 times in about 5 weeks while in motion (2015 MS)

    So this has happened 'in flight' three times now. Car continues to driver - at unconfirmed speed of course ;). Stays blank and car has to be rebooted (hard not soft) to get it back. Had one where it went 'snowy' (like TV after midnight in the 60's) - soft boot brought it back, but did not trust...

    Park Meadows Supercharger - new bank

    So I never usually Supercharge but my wife left the car off charge overnight and after a 30 miles school run I drop into PM with 94 miles range and start charging. 59kW, not the 80-100 I'd expect (outside temp is 31, battery after 30 miles shows fine, i.e. no regen limit). I try another stall -...

    Lug nut recommendation Model S OEM 5-spokes (and Gray Turbines)

    I'm considering doing away with the (now) nasty caps and replacing with some decent lug nuts. The OEM wheels and mainly black powder coat now, so black chrome lug nuts seem sensible at this point for both sets. If you are happy with any aftermarket lugs, for the OE wheels - can you let me know...

    MCU went blank while driving - now when starting

    I've had a look, but only see old threads on this. Running 2018.28.5 377ec8b on a 2015 MS60 with AP1. My wife was driving on the highway a couple of weeks ago when the MCU went blank - no warning, just blank. Continued drive, parked, went back to car - all fine. Today she arrived at destination...

    Jan 2015 MS 60 vs 2018 MS D100 loaner - observations

    When I got a 2017 MX 100D loaner last year I was underwhelmed compared to my (wife's) 2015 MS 60 RWD. This time I have a 2018 MS 100D, and must say there are many noticeable refinements - shame I'm not in the market to trade-in yet - and a 100D is really not what we need. Acceleration is...

    Daily Driver Tire Recommendations (summer)

    There are people here only putting 3-5K per season on their tires - wish I were you, but I am not. For those putting 12K or more per summer season on your tires - what have you found to be the best in terms of wear. I need safe (it's my wife's car) I need good wear (the car is well setup -...

    Metallic noise during regen braking

    New noise for my Jan 2015 S60. Noticed a whine between 42-53 mph (suspect the resonance just changes above that (and below I guess) - wife noticed it first, now I can always hear it at those speeds. Coincided with a 1 in 3 occurrence of a metallic sound as regen cuts in - seems to happen more...

    How one man's vision and determination changed an industry

    I get the CNET Roadshow newsletter - it has 6-8 headlines each time they send it (multiple times per week). It was notable last week that on one newsletter not one article was Tesla related - there's almost always something - and they are NOT all a fanboys, some of the article are not pro...

    Issue with front passenger window

    I searched using a few different things but did not find this, has anyone seen this problem? My wife rolled down the passenger window to talk to my son, as she brought it back up there was a noise like someone pulling their hand across a balloon - and black goop came up out of the door. I...

    Just venting ...

    Love the MS I got my wife (2015, AP1, S60 - non-upgradeable). Getting AP1 was a considered risk, knowing AP2 was out and would eclipse it at some point. No problem there. Knew AP2 would get all the love, so was not expecting much in the way of software updates - though a useful nav would be...

    MGP Caliper Covers (through Evannex or not)

    Again looking for long-term experience from anyone who sprung for them - I see a lot of people who said they bought them, but not much in mid- or long-term experience with them.

    What rim protectors are you using?

    Interested in current info here, did read the threads. Evannex? Rimblades/Savers? Alloygators? Others? If you are unhappy with a choice you've made I'd be really interested to hear too. Looking to protect 19" original stock alloys and 21" Grey Turbines.

    Sudden slowdown, AP1, latest firmware

    So had the update which restores the ability to set AP above speed limit on non-divide roads (as reference for which firmware, not because I want or approve of that). Today, 45mph, driving past vehicles moving in (not out of) right-hand lane - car suddenly hits brakes HARD, not FCW. Then lets...

    Self-healing paint protection?

    Does anybody have experience of Feynlab's self-healing paint protection (feynlab.com)? I am not interested in self-healing in general, as their method is different from the UV ones used by Nissan for example - it's their specific product I am interested in. Any input appreciated.

    3M Film that is closest to Midnight Sliver?

    Anybody here is the wraps business who can tell me which 3M color is closest? There are a range of grays and metallics, but want to ask for the closest samples without wasting suppliers time and money. Looking to wrap lower 'half' of nosecone (probably through RPM) if I can find a decent...

    TACC disable - dependent on Internet/Maps?

    My wife was driving yesterday and TACC suddenly disabled. Just before it disabled the map stopped updating properly - half ot the screen was block tiles, not detail. Map stayed 'frozen' for a couple of miles then refreshed properly - exactly the same time as TACC came back. I cannot see why...

    Tips for snow driving and keeping AP happy?

    First decent amount of snow in CO. Managed to pack a good quantity of snow in the wheel-arches but the 50 mile drive was uneventful (RWD, traction control, sensible driving - handle as well as I had hoped it would from comment here). Stopped car, cleared arches. 6 hours later (losing a little...

    Interior Lighting - so confused ...

    So just got a Jan 2015 S60 and has Tech Package with Autopilt. The 'spec' from Tesla is as they print on the CPO sales pages - so says just that. Came to use trunk in dark last night and find there is a single (useless) LED on the powered tailgate - useless because it's small and dim, and...

    Peak Demand Metering

    I did not find this discussed, please direct me to threads if it's already done. I have the option of how to pay for my residential electricity, one option is based on Peak Demand (just like our office commercial supply). With electric kitchen and dryer, demand is already reasonably high - add...

    WTB: 19" wheels, tires with TPMS

    Have CPO on way with 21", but need 19" for winter here in CO. Ideally little used all seasons (for now, I will nanny it this winter). Ideally with center caps too. Slipstreams, Cyclone, WHY? Vehicle is Midnight Silver, so dark or regular alloys should work. PM me with pricing - including...

    Long-term ownership opinions on black interior in sunny climate sought

    I'm in the final stages of figuring out what we want of our Model S (most likely CPO, so some limitations on choices). I'm down to interior. I've read many complaints about the A/C controls (72 isn't 72 unless you manually set the fan), and I've seen mixed reports on the Pano (some say too hot...

    Driver Profile

    Still not an owner, and did not cover this during test-drive. I know there is a Valet mode, but is it possible to program your own driver profiles which allow you to limit acceleration and top-speed, possibly other dynamics (steering response, suspension)? Why would I want this? Because I have...

    Setting charge current

    I've read many threads, but as a not-yet-owner, I just want to be sure. When scheduling a charge window (for TOU or to avoid demand peaks) it is possible to set the time, and the maximum current drawn - correct? Given yes, are there any limitations on how low the current can be set, and any...

    Newbie question - model changes by (approximate) VIN

    I am seriously looking at a CPO Model S and having 'loosely' followed the Model S for 3 years things like Battery Pack A, B or later, and Autopilot hardware (but not software) are now material to me. I know that production number is not a linear guaranty of any given change being made, but it is...
