    Model S AC Sensor Calibration

    The Cabin filter is clean and the ac was serviced by Tesla 2 years ago. What’s odd is the fan slowing down. It’s as if the system believes the the correct temperature has been achieved and it goes into the low speed fan-temp maintenance mode. The air is cold, but the calibration is off by 8...

    Model S AC Sensor Calibration

    Over the last few years I’ve found that I’ve had to set the interior temperature lower and lower in order to keep my AC’s fan blowing in the Auto mode. I currently need to set the control to 64 degrees in order to maintain 72 degrees inside the car. If I set it above 64 degrees it blows cold...

    Is this unusual to have to replace the rear drive unit and rear calipers at 95K miles on a model S (2013)? And is it a reasonable cost?

    It would be great if more independent EV shops would respond to the need for these modifications. They are well beyond the capability of most owners.

    Is this unusual to have to replace the rear drive unit and rear calipers at 95K miles on a model S (2013)? And is it a reasonable cost?

    I just had my drive unit replaced in the final month of the 8 year warranty. Obviously, I’d prefer to not replace it with out of pocket money in the future. I understand that checking the speed sensor regularly for leaking coolant is important. My question is what can I do if traces of...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    It’s a software thing, not reliant on any additional hardware. Tesla could turn it on for you, but they probably won’t. I don’t have the Tech Package either. The mirrors in my 2014 Model S don’t dim. I’ve asked Tesla multiple times to turn that functionality on, but they refuse. It’s pretty...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    With regard to navigation, can you enter an address and get turn by turn directions? If not, you only have maps. My 2014 is the same as your car with regard to the entry handles. I do not have the Tech Package.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    It may not have the Technology Package option. Homelink, self dimming mirrors, power hatch lift, and navigation were also part of that package.

    Stopped my MCU from leaking. Saved $$$.

    I’ve read about owners that have successfully removed the cover glass and goo from their forward display, but never the center screen. It may be difficult to remove the flex cables without damaging them. Keep us posted.

    Stopped my MCU from leaking. Saved $$$.

    I applied the sealant liberally all around and over the the flex connections and around the perimeter. Doing that does not appear to have had any negative effect so far.

    Stopped my MCU from leaking. Saved $$$.

    My display had bubbles 2 years ago (12-14 S60). I bought a used display on eBay and sealed the perimeter with: Permatex 82180 Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker, 3.35 oz. Tube https://a.co/gTR3Vfc 2 years later, no issues

    Florida Sun Pass Transponder?

    The MCU2 upgrade is now $1500

    I wonder if it includes a 3G to LTE upgrade. That would be a real win for those of us that need it.

    Model s bubble Leak Repair.

    I’m wondering if you could remove the edge sealant at the top and bottom of the screen with a utility knife, and then blow compressed air through the space to remove the remaining goo. May be worth trying.

    Bubbles/leaking glue MCU screen replacement question

    Has anyone tried draining all of the fluid out of the display? My understanding is that the fluid is only there to improve the viewing angle.

    Bubbles/leaking glue MCU screen replacement question

    Does the entire MCU need to be removed to replace the LCD, or can it be done by just removing the surrounding trim?

    So sick of "Service".

    For anyone concerned about buying a Tesla, I am a very satisfied owner. Delivery at Eatonville Florida was stellar, and my experience with their service department has been excellent. After four years of ownership I have nothing to complain about. I’m certain that I am not alone. I’m also...

    Failed Update Leading to Only Black Instrument Cluster (2020.12.11.5)

    My ‘14 wouldn’t update through the app, and required rebooting of the center screen to go through. Everything appears to be happy now.

    Tesla Energy App with non-Tesla Solar

    I had 2 Powerwalls (referral awards) installed by Tesla last summer. Following that, I had non-Tesla solar panels put on my roof. My only issue is that the Tesla app doesn’t monitor the solar production correctly. I contacted Tesla, and they told me that they will not set up the app to monitor...

    I pulled the trigger on a Model S, just have a few questions

    If your Model S was built after October 1, 2014 it has Autopilot hardware. If it was built prior to that it does not. Another way to tell is that vehicles with Autopilot have a camera above the inside rear view mirror. Good luck!
