    v9 Unable to turn on heated steering wheel without first turning on A/C

    Or turn on anything other than front heated seats without first turning on the HVAC system. Sometimes I like to drive with the A/C off but with the heated steering wheel and seat on ... on v8 I'd goto the cold weather package page to turn on these items independently of anything the HVAC system...

    Anyone install a blackvue rear camera on a solid roof MS?

    All the videos I've seen show installation with a pano roof and run the wires closest to the pano glass which doesn't exist in my car. After 2 wrecks (neither my fault) and one where the at fault driver lied about the accident, I want the extra eyes of front and rear cameras but I'm not sure...

    Am I the only one to unlucky enough to wreck my MS twice?

    l was rear ended last year (not my fault and car was in the shop for 6+ weeks) and just today I hit a guy making an illegal U turn right in front of me. Don't know how long this repair is going to take. No real injuries in either accident but I'm super annoyed to go through the repair process...

    Anyone else experiencing creep not holding in reverse?

    I'm on FW 2017.34 2448cfc this seems to be a new "feature" since the last update. I have creep mode on and on several occasions when shifting into reverse from park my car has moved forward instead of reverse. The only thing I can think is that I've been on a slight grade but this has NEVER...

    My friend needs a "sales pitch" why MX vs other luxury SUVs

    I think he is looking at an Audi Q7 and told me to give my best sales pitch why he should get a Model X vs any other luxury SUV. I drive a MS and have never owned a "luxury SUV", I can sell him on the benefits of Tesla but as a direct comparison of SUVs I really don't have a frame of reference...

    I'd like an electric car rental for 4-6 weeks while my MS is in the shop

    As my name suggests I don't like using gasoline and dread having to use a gas guzzler for 4-6 weeks while my Tesla is repaired (I commute to work 75 miles round trip 5x a week). The kid who hit me doesn't have enough insurance to cover a Tesla rental for that time, but I spoke to my insurance...

    Any recommendations for body shops in LA area (valley)?

    A 16 year old driver decided to cause a wreck on the freeway and did this damage to my MS. Looking for recommendations on a Tesla approved body shop in the LA area, I live in the valley but I'm willing to drive to a highly recommended shop.

    Can't use remote climate control when battery is below 20%

    I wanted to cool down my car before I got in (as you can see the interior was 99°) but the app wouldn't allow me to. I had plenty of charge to get home but wanted to cool things down for the little one. He refused to get in and asked for the A/C immediately. I'd love to have an override for this...

    Had a dream, ok nightmare I had to drive an ICE...

    In this dream I was driving a stick shift pickup truck with no power steering. It was horrible. I've been driving EVs for 5 years now and I can't ever see myself going back to driving a noisy smelly mess of an ICE car, once you drive EV you can't go back. Now it's time for someone aka Tesla to...

    Can you send an address to your nav without using the calendar?

    I know that the calendar can be used to put a destination in the navigation but I'm wondering if there is a way to just send an address to the car before you get in your Tesla?

    Should I charge to 100% (night before trip) if my first supercharger stop is only 80 miles away?

    I understand that you actually supercharge faster the lower your SOC when you arrive at the charger. The first leg of my trip will only be 80 miles, so I'm wondering if it really matters if I charge to 100% the night before or if 90% is better or won't really make a difference. I have a MS 70D.

    TuneIn radio no longer pauses when I take a phone call (on 8.0)

    On 7.1 if I made or received a phone call the station I was listening to on TuneIn would pause during the call (no matter the duration of the call) and resume where it paused at the end of my call. This morning's drive (first time with 8.0) I was listening to TuneIn, got a call and when the call...

    Trash blowing across freeway put my car into emergency braking

    I was in moderate traffic (car in front of me was several car lengths ahead of me, not locked on in blue) with TACC and AP engaged when my car started braking and flashed the red collision car graphic. I was very confused because the car in front of me wasn't braking and was quite far away...

    My MS thought a 45mph road was 5mph and tried to reduce my speed to 10mph

    I was using autopilot on a road I travel daily, in the right hand lane on a three lane (each side 3 lanes 6 total) highway. I was very confused as to why my car was slowing down with no cars in front of me, that's when I noticed the dash said 5mph speed limit and auto steer was limited to 10mph...

    You can adjust the EQ while on a phone call

    I just disdiscovered that you can adjust the EQ while talking on the phone. There was a weird kind of rattling noise while talking on the phone so I thought I'd check to see if I could EQ you out that sound, I presses the EQ button and you can adjust the EQ and turn on or off Dolby surround. I...

    How do you know when someone uses your referal?

    I've been checking the "my tesla" website and don't see any indication of referals used (0 or otherwise). I've had more than one person say they were going to use my referal, but can't tell if they pulled the trigger yet.

    Anyone upgrade to dual chargers after delivery?

    I'm planning a trip at the end of the summer where an 80 amp destination charger is available and may be handy to charge at 80 amps (I won't be spending the night at the charger). How many times have you charged above 40 amps? Was the upgrade "worth it"? I certainly like the idea of dual...

    Ringtone in car while connected to Bluetooth

    My tesla has never played my phone's ringtone over the car speakers (my last car did this) but after the last software update I heard my phone's ringtone over the speakers, but only once. Does anyone else hear their phone's ringtone over the speakers? Or just the default beep beep the car...

    What exactly is in the latest software/firmware update?

    I checked the wiki and all it has is the version number. I've seen the posts about the Easter egg for the rainbow road and other posts about bugs but what I'd really like to know is what are the improvements/ fixes in this update. I'm scheduled to update tonight. I was out of town for a week so...

    Anyone have similar issues? It says I've been driving 13 hours and 31 minutes when I was only driving for about 1/2 hour.. Also the miles since last charge is very wrong. I've reset both screens twice since I first noticed the problem and nothing has changed, still frozen. Also my home link...

    Tesla all weather floor mats price increased $45, anyone know what changes were made?

    Does range mode change your rated range?

    I decided to try driving with range mode on all this time this week, charged to 90% and my rated range was 217. Before my 90% was 214, is that because I have range mode on or due to my 7.1 update?

    Charging etiquette for Tesla owners

    Perhaps this is a CA problem but I've seen far too may Teslas parked at public level 2 charges not plugged into the station. Not only is this rude, inconsiderate, and against the law in CA, it gives Tesla owners a bad reputation. I know EV parking spaces are usually the best in the lot, but if...

    Anyone need a Tesla 10-30 adapter

    I'm planning on swinging by a local service center to pick up a 5-20 adapter and when I called them today they said they had 10-30s in stock. I might pick one up for myself but I'm wondering if anyone else needs one since they aren't available online and some service centers no longer have them...

    MP/kWh seems a lot easier for me (most people?) to understand because it correlates well with MPGs. Thoughts?

    Nitrogen in stock tires

    Anyone use "Protect All" on their MS?

    I saw a plumber's work truck that was super clean and paint looked new. I asked how he cared for his truck and he said he used Protect All - Home Page his truck was a 2008 and really looked new. Maybe he is OCD with what he told me was weekly cleaning of his truck but it looked great and I'm...

    What's better long term SunTek or Xpel?

    I saw a white S85 this morning in a parking lot and their "clear bra" was turning yellow. I ordered a black MS, called a couple of installers yesterday asked one guy what he thought was better and he said he would NOT put Xpel on the super high end cars he does (Bugatti etc). So I'd like to...

    Does charging multiple times a day reduce battery life?

    I have the option to charge at work using a 120v outlet, after work where I exercise 240v, then when I get home on 240v. Will charging multiple times a day (on different voltages) effect battery life? Should I only charge a few times a week when I really need to add range? Honestly I could get...

    What brand of cover are you using? The Tesla branded outdoor car cover is sold out and I'd really like to find a quality outdoor cover for my MS before it's delivered in December. I've searched a bit on the internet but nothing I've found says it is specifically made for the Model S, any help...
