My 2015 MS has 81k on it. It used to be much faster when supercharhing but in the last year the rate is much slower. I will take a couple of hours to fill up at a supercharger while my friends new MY takes about 30 minutes. Are they throttling the supercharging for Cara with unlimited...

I got denied a second time (this morning was the second one). Do you have the exact verbiage I should be using? Cheers

Hi, sent you a PM on your Facebook page yesterday. Waiting for reply.

Another MCU1 failure here. My car only has 40k on it and I believe this has been failing for a while now. Over the last year I have been having to reboot the MCU1 to get it to play music. It seems like this is a huge issue for so many people. Do you think Tesla will step up and support the...

I’ll be looking at a 3rd party ESA

Anyone know If my MCU1 fails on a car under warranty will they replace it with an MCU1 or MCU2? Wondering if they would take the opportunity to improve the cars of just install an equivalent or offer a reduced price for MCU2? Cheers

Update: I got the following message from Tesla Good Morning, Our technicians have been working on trying to restore your MCU and are continuing to do so. With this being said if we are able to restore the MCU, there will be a diagnosis charge of $195/hr general diagnosis plus the software...

Or maybe... 3. Have them install MCU1 for $1948 4. Wait until MCU2 when available for $2500

What a clusterF#&@. This seems to be an issue with every MCU1. Isn’t this something that should fall under a recall?

I am very interested in this as my MCU just went dead and they told me to pay $1984 for an MCU1 or come pick it up.

Update: I did not hear back from Tesla after I inquired why they think it was my monitor that went bad. Today I asked for an update and was told. “We are waiting for approval to replace the MCU” I inquired if this was MCU1 or MCU2. Their response: “This will not be the MCU2. Unfortunately...

Yesterday my streaming music had a loading error. Everything else on the monitor worked (mapping, camera, phone). I noticed I couldn’t get the FM radio to work either so, per Tesla’s recommendation, I held down both scroll wheels for 30 seconds. The MCU rebooted but the screen never came back...

<—- mine

Why is it the best purchase you have made since the model 3?

That’s OK. I posted the question and I live in CA so it is very relevant information for me.

I am also located in CA and wasn't told this by Tesla. It does seem very limiting and seems to change the ROI for the system. It seems like charging the batteries while the electricity is cheapest makes a ton of sense. How much of a difference does everyone think this makes? Any way to tell...

I have a quote from Tesla and am seriously considering adding two Powerwalls 2.0 to go with my existing Solar and Model S. I have read a lot of positive things online and on the site but really would be interested in hearing if anyone regrets having a Powerwall installed and why. Thanks for your...

Yikes, that will be a game changer. Looks like it takes effect 2020. Need to get order in soon?

Has anyone has a Gateway 2 installed or spec’d out? I am considering buying two Powerwalls but would rather have the Gateway 2 for looks and the increased capability I read it has. Thoughts? GG

I am trying to understand the current incentives that I can count on if I bite the bullet and buy the quoted Tesla PowerWall (2 walls). 1. What exactly should I count on receiving as incentive when I purchase. What Federal, State (California) and Utility (PG&E) incentive are available (and...

What plan are you currently on?

Here is my quote Sent by Tesla for my Wall and install. I already have an existing solar install. I am a bit surprised at the cost. I was told they are only doing two powerwall unit installs at this time. I understand that I will get a 30% tax credit to apply for the 2019 tax return. I really...

A couple of nights ago I heard a loud pop inside our house complete with lights flickering. I went downstairs to the garage and found the garage with smoke and stinking of electrical smell. I noticed the Tesla was not longer charging and the breaker was tripped. Upon further inspection I...

Eric, thank you for what you do for the Tesla community TeslaWase is awesome

Just curious, have you ever used CarPlay? I was really impressed with it. My 2016 Toyota Tacoma has a better infotainment system then my Model S.

Tesla, concentrate on what you do best and use CarPlay from Apple. It is all around a better entertainment and connectivity system then your homegrown system. It isn’t perfect but it allows you to take your resources off of your buggy and antiquated infotainment system and apply them to other...

Yep. I can confirm it is working. I am a little dissapointed Tesla didnt use pink as the color of the chargers to keep it Madonna.

Let's hope Tesla colors the Superchargers pink

Those are all little guns. How about a holster for something like a bazooka. I'm from California and I can't believe you all settle for little handguns for protection when a bazooka is available.

I really would like a charging reminder. I would like to be able to set the time it reminds me (for me it is after 11:00pm energy is cheapest) and be able to set the battery threshold it reminds me at (for me when the battery is under 60% charge). I would like a text message when both these...

I am surprised at what I am currently being charged by Geico. Seems good... 6 Month rate: Vehicle total 6 month premium: $376.80 2015 TESLA MODEL S Comprehensive $56.40 Deductible: $500 Collision $174.60 $500 Ded./Waiver Emergency Road Service ? $4.70 Bodily Injury Liability: $300,000...

CA + the San Joaquin air district rebate on top of that is nice

never one issue here

Agreed. It I really like the more frequent smaller updates then waiting months for one big update.

Here is the printout using PGE Toolkit showing YTD 2016. Pretty slick stuff. On the app you can get very detailed info for each schedule by clicking it.

I use PGE toolkit and it does work on the most recent apple release for me. LOVE the app. I check it out monthly. It made me make a change to a different rate plan. Love it. Not associated with the developer at all. Just a fan.

@Jdeck Is there any way to text me if my car isn't plugged in at XX time? I often forget to plug it in (because I may go back out for a errand) and wake up the next morning and say "grrrrr". I would like to specify time and level threshold (anytime after 10pm and below 70% for example)...

I drive a lot of the same route. Is there any way I can see the most frequently traveled segments between two tagged locations? Specifically, I am interested in home to work (and work to home) and how the commute time varies (and maybe by time). I am also interested in the quickest route I...

Can you add a small icon to the browser tabs (using Chrome) and maybe a name TeslaFi? Right now mine just says Tesla and would be good to have an icon because I Pin tabs and when there is no icon you can't tell which pinned tab it is. Cheers!

Signed up! Looking forward to seeing the continued progress

Not recommended. The change in camber will eat your tires. Use it for curbs, easier to get out, doors not hitting curbs when opened, speed bumps, and steep driveways like mine where it will scrape if not elevated..

What is the best way/program to take an iTunes playlist and export it to the USB in the format that is best for the USB key in 8.x? I use Tesla tunes but the export format appears to be flat (exports all files in one folder and not sub categorized) GG

I bought for the car but am amazed that the entertainment system and phone aren't up to snuff on what's available in a pickup truck (or Camry for that). I love the car but can't believe how behind the entertainment system is. But hey, my Truck does have any Easter eggs hidden in the...

Ha! Again, missing the point of my post about the entertainment/phone system. Actually 39k out the door. I opted for the Off road version because our cabin has lots of trails and off-road fun around it. Yeah, gas mileage isn't very good. The Tacoma, though, is a good truck and there is a...

Maybe you misread my post. I am speaking of just the entertainment/phone system and how a 40k Toyota truck is ahead of Tesla's offerings. I am not speaking of the driving dynamics or overall car.

Do you mean Power Management? Energy Savings set to On and always connected.

It is flat and 10,000 songs. Is that a setting I can use in TeslaTunes? If not, what is the best way to get out music out of iTunes playlist? Cheers, GG

I got 2.42.40 and the USB does show up but each time I get in my car it has to reload the USB fob and that takes about 45 minutes to load. It never was able to fully load in previous version so I guess it is improved but still not useable.

I own a Model S that I purchased in December 2015 and just purchased a 2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad. I am surprised about how much better certain parts of the entertainment system in the Tacoma than my beloved Model S. My model S was about 105k and the Tacoma about 40k. Here are some of the items...

Yeah, my VIN was recognized. I was hit a few months ago and the closest shop to me (1.5 hours away) has a policy on the wall that says they do not accept Geico. If you intend to use Geico you have to pay cash and try to get reimbursed by them. Yikes.
