All items...

    Tip on opening MCU2 charge port when car is sleeping

    As I just sold my last of my 4 Model S's, I remembered I've been meaning to share a tip with the community, just never got around to it. On our MCU1 Model S'es we could always open the charge port when the car is locked by just pressing the charging handle button. However, with MCU2 MS I noticed...

    Does Tesla have any live ordering support?

    I just tried to help someone order a Tesla. 2 hours trying to complete the order, and no way to finish. As soon as it gets to creating an account, it claims "email already exists", however any attempts to reset the password do not work (no reset password email ever arrives, not in spam folder...

    Can you lock a model S if it thinks doors or trunk is open?

    Is there a way to lock the car if the car "thinks" that one of the doors or trunk is open (say due to a malfunction of the rear hatch latching motor, as in this thread)?

    Tesla using old time dealer dirty tactics to make money on service

    As much as Elon would like the world to believe that Service Centers are not for profit, and better than the dealers, my recent experience further convinced me they are no different, worse actually, as they try to keep customers locked-in to only using Tesla for service, for which they charge...

    What type of brake fluid does Model S use?

    Tesla seems to have removed from their user manual information as to what type of brake fluid they use. Anyone have the old version which still says it? Looking for a 2015 Model S.

    New Tesla app, cannot remote unlock vehicle

    After updating to the new app, one of out Teslas (2018 Model S with MCU2) will no longer unlock remotely. Locking works fine, can unlock charge port, but unlocking the car appears to work from the app, but the car does not unlock. The app eventually updates back to the "car locked" icon, no...

    Tesla legal claims MCU is a wearable part, like tires

    Tesla Vice President Of Legal Tells NHTSA That MCUs Are Wear Parts/ They already told us that MCU's oxidize and deteriorate in Earth's atmosphere, starting to show visible signs in as little as 6 months. Now their legal council claims owners were supposed to know it's a wearable part. Nowhere...

    Tesla needs to have a master switch

    Teslas are basically computers on wheels, yet they don't have a master switch which can power everything off at least temporarily to reset the car (yes you can do that by removing the frunk and disconnecting the 12V and the fireman loop, but that is not user friendly). Before you tell me how you...

    How to clean condensation/dirt on inside pillar blocking camera?

    My wife told me her 2018 MS was giving out warnings about pillar camera. I thought maybe it's just dirt, turns out the problem is on the inside. Anyone know how to clean that out, or does this require a service appointment? PS> Car was in the garage overnight and temps were >40F when I took...

    Is Tesla changing warranty terms again, reducing coverage retroactively? [Website Error]

    So I just went through the "yellowing of the screen in the first year of usage is not covered under warranty because it was exposed to oxygen". Now, when I went logged into my Tesla portal, I noticed the "8 years, unlimited mileage" drive unit and battery warranty has changed on my 2015 and 2018...

    Warning, rebooting v10 on MCU1 while driving

    This is just warn folks used to rebooting their MCU1 while driving (I used to do that every few drives, when the browser would stop working or some other artifact - Tesla software is not famous for its stability). After applying v10 I was driving with the family to dinner tonight. Browser (now...

    V10 keeps "Saving" profiles - why?

    I noticed that V10 keeps saying "Saving" where the profile name is shown, each time the profile changes, from Easy Entry to a driver, driver-to-driver, etc. Is it really re-saving the profile over and over? Is this Tesla's way to increase EMMC writes to make the MCU1 cars fail sooner?

    White and Cream interiors no longer included with Performance

    For a while there MS P100D and then MS Performance had all interior choices included in the price. I mentioned it to someone, who told me it's not true - I checked and in fact, those are no longer included in the design studio. When did that change?

    Model S blinking Morse code with headlights when parked?

    I happen to be walking in the garage last night and I noticed that our newest Tesla (2018 MS) was blinking its headlights. Noone was controlling via the app (late night) so I was a little worried the car was being hacked? So went in and checked out security camera footage, and apparently it is...

    It's alive!

    The arrival of v9 software brought us, MCU1 owners, a newly reskinned, but non-functional browser. Well, I'm happy to report that many months later, with 2019.16.2 my MCU1 browser started working again. So all of you who have given up and buried the browser under the giant grey nav screen, go...

    Tesla easter egg idea

    As I was waiting in a left turn lane, watching cars with their blinkers on, an idea dawned on me. Tesla already has a fairly accurate time from the internet and GPS, it might not be that difficult to synchronize all Tesla blinkers in the world. It would make for some free media coverage - all...

    Broken Window Legal discussion

    Isn't that kind of expected in the People's Republic of California? "Property" is an evil capitalist concept not worthy of people's protection. The OP drives a Tesla, these guys just had an old Benz, so they were just taking their fair share to which they feel entitled. It's not their fault the...

    v9, how to move camera to the upper part of the screen for safety

    When driving, I like to use it as an additional "mirror" and to check blind spots and any fast coming traffic (since neither of our Teslas has reliable blind spot monitoring, or cross traffic warnings). Looking down takes more attention off the road, so I want to move it up back where it was on...

    No more release notes?

    So our 3 year old Model S just updated to 2018.26. When I got in the car, I was welcomed by "What's New In This Update" showing absolutely nothing. I rebooted, clicked on T->Release Notes same thing: Tesla cutting corners on writing release notes? Not tested on 3 year old or old MCU cars...

    Anyone in Mill Creek/Everett area with HPWC?

    I am trying to diagnose an issue with my old HPWC having problems charging a new Model S (it charges our older Model S just fine, with the new one it partially works but keeps throwing errors). Anyone in the Mill Creek/Everett, WA with HPWC I could plug in for few minutes to see if it works...

    Anyone knows what 8 red flashes on HPWC means?

    The manual (for the older HPWC which this is) only goes up to 4 and then it says to contact Tesla for service. This however only happens with the brand new 2018 Model S (48A charger) while working fine with an older car (80A charger) and it used to work just fine with 2017 Model S (also 48A...

    What does your max current say when on HPWC?

    When I plug in our new Model S into an older HPWC (no side dock) it sometimes says 0/47A and sometimes 0/48A, and then it proceeds to that max number. Sometimes the max changes while charging too. Is this normal, or is it an indication of a problem? What does your say when plugged into an HPWC...

    Can anyone with new MCU can repro a charging issue?

    I ran into a new issue I've never saw before. New S75D, new MCU. It charging along at 48A happily. I had it set to 100% for a morning trip. Once it got to ~95% I lowered the set SoC to the usual daily limit which was below the current SoC as I've done before on our other Teslas no problem. The...

    No end of quarter push/incentives this quarter

    It seems Tesla has no inventory whatsoever, and Design Studio for MS and MX now gives end of May delivery estimates. This means that even before this quarter is half over, there is no way to order a new car and get it this quarter. M3 of course doesn't need any incentives at this time, so the...

    No inventory cars available at all - S, X or 3

    I noticed recently that inventory cars seem to have disappeared on-line. I read here that Tesla may be holding back and not want to make their inventory public online. I visited a Tesla store today to see what they had in new inventory, as my wife's car is about to get totaled (pending insurance...

    Hill-hold releases *after* you get out of the car?

    Just a quick warning to MS (and possibly MX owners) when parking on possibly slippery surfaces. Hill-hold will keep all wheels stopped, while parking brake will only lock the rear wheels (even in an AWD S). The issue is that it seems hill hold doesn't release until the car turns off. I say "it...

    Is AP1 and AP2 software consolidating?

    I don't use my AP1 much other than in stop-and-go traffic. Because of that, it's been a while since I drove with AP ON outside of stop-and-go highway traffic, but recently I activated it to clean my glasses while going 60mph on a highway. I have driven that stretch many times before, and I'm...

    No more Alcantara upper dashboard

    I just noticed that the alcantara upper dashboard accents are gone from all Model S in design Studio. It used to be part of PD line, then became part of the PUP somewhere along the line, and today it's not available at all. Did it go away when power liftgate became standard and PUP changed, or...

    Refresh Skin thinner?

    Warning! AP2 cars don't actually recognize speed limit signs

    There was a speed limit change near where we live recently, from 55 to 45mph. Our AP2 car still show 55mph even though there a clear, brand new speed limit sign on that stretch. Our AP1 car can read the signs, though it does have a slight issue when it doesn't see a sign for a while, then it...

    AP2 cars vs AP1 - what non-AP features are missing today?

    When I ordered my AP2 car I assumed (incorrectly) that AP2 cars are only missing Auto Pilot features. Looking at New firmware release 12-10-2016 it seems there are other features AP2 cars may be missing, such as auto headlights on/off (not to be confused with auto high beam, that's different)...

    How many cameras in new without AP enabled?

    What exactly do you buy when you pay for AP2.0?
