    Supercharger - Madison, WI - South Livingston

    Looks like the project is well underway! I'm still wondering how they are going to keep the chargers from being ICE'd during Sylvee concerts and soccer games... They should use a gate with a code like they do at some parking ramps with superchargers (like those in Chicago and Las Vegas).

    Drove by Hy-Vee on the west side today and they are starting construction on something. Maybe it's the drive-through kiosk but hopefully it's the supercharger!

    Is a Madison, WI show room/service center coming soon?

    Those big PVC pipes in the latest photos look like they might be for the service center supercharger(s).

    Supercharger - Madison, WI - South Livingston

    I could be misunderstanding but I think those are just labels, not indications of the exact position of the chargers. Page 5 of the pdf of the site plan gives you a better idea of the layout. The main problems i see are: 1. The handicapped spot has the supercharger in the wrong position unless...

    Conti Purecontact LS

    Super happy! Insane how quiet they are compared to OEM tires. See my post in this other thread regarding my experience with the PureContact LS so far:

    That document shows exactly where it will be positioned. I knew they would put them over by the transformer near the gas station. Makes sense! The document confirms it.

    Conti Purecontact LS

    Granted I have only 12k of (extreme) summer weather on mine, I'm not seeing abnormal wear on mine. I've been most surprised at how quiet these are compared to the OEM goodyear Touring tires on my S.

    I was down to 4/32" tread on my Goodyear Eagle OEM tires (got 34,900mi / 56,000km out of them) and wanted to replace them before a big upcoming road trip I'm taking. I just put on Continental PureContact LS (19") on my 2017 Model S 100D (w/OEM Slipstream wheels) today. Leaving on a 5000 mi...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Yes, but OLED tech doesn't work well with screens that have static images like instrument clusters and vehicle UIs because of burn-in issues. OLEDs have come a long way in preventing burn-in, but I can't imagine you could completely eliminate burn-in the way Tesla uses their screens.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    One more thing I noticed today: The new instrument cluster screen dims down darker at night time compared to the old one. This is really nice because it relieves strain on your eyes when driving at night.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Yes now that you mention it, there has been a little bit of glare but I attributed it to being a brand new screen. There seems to be an anti-glare coating on the screens too. It's similar to before and I really only notice it if I'm looking for it.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Whelp... I was wrong. Scheduled an appointment in the app for one service center and was told they aren't doing upgrades there yet, but I heard from someone in my state's Tesla club that a different service center is starting to do them if you have AP2.5 and FSD. I have a 2017 Model S w/AP2.5...

    Navigation update 2020.12 is out!

    I have a Model S and I just upgraded from MCU1 to MCU2 and HW2.5 to HW3 and 2020.8.2 was downloading when I picked the car up after the upgrade (which was awesome and worth every penny btw). Got stuck at 50% so I rebooted the MCU and then it started a maps download (I didn't see which version)...

    HW3 upgrade

    I assume you're wondering about the Model S/X. I had my Model S upgraded very recently. If you have MCU1, AP2.5 and FSD, you can request an upgrade now via the app. However, if you did not buy FSD yet or you have AP2.0 or AP1 you will need to wait for the invite email. If you buy FSD now and...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    My body is ready!!! I can't wait for the invite email to schedule the upgrade. I have no problem with the $2500 price point. They are going to kill two birds with one stone and upgrade me to HW3 at the same time as MCU2 (I bought FSD upon delivery). Has anyone received an invite to schedule...

    I don't really care about any specifics of who the source is other than whether it was indeed someone in engineering or not. But who am I kidding, even then it might not tell us for sure that there will be an upgrade offered because they could change plans or scrap the project at any moment. I'm...

    Elon tweets "no waypoints", "car will autonavigate to your destination."

    It blows my mind that Tesla is spending all this time developing new games, easter eggs and unnecessary (albeit fun) features, but Tesla still hasn't developed something as basic as waypoints for navigation!!! Hell, even cars from the 2000s had waypoints on their in-car nav systems ffs! It's...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Great to know! It seems like the lag is just in the visualizations and not the behavior of autopilot. Though I wonder why AP slams on the brakes if a car passes in front of you perpendicular to the driving path and the car is already out of your car's driving path. It's annoying to me and...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Now that you have HW3 with a MCU1 car, is the AP visualization lag in the instrument cluster the same as before? In my MCU1 car I notice that there is a 1/2 second lag in the AP instrument cluster visualization vs real world.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    What do you mean you just did it? I'm guessing you had MCU1, it broke, and you got a new MCU1. Is that right? Keep in mind that a MCU1 to MCU1 replacement may be much more labor/hardware intensive than a MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade. From what I gather there are differences in the wiring harnesses and...

    V10 32.11.1

    Model S (regardless if MCU1 or MCU2) so far does not get window venting. Hopefully the Model S will get it later. Hard to imagine they would release something for X/3 only without any plans to add the feature to the Model S later.

    Looks like V10 infotainment features not supported by MCU1 (video)

    Where did you hear this? And have they said anything about how groups work? I just saw the first upgrade had paperwork that said "Group 1", which makes sense.

    Behold HW3 ( First pics ) !!!!

    This is probably more hassle than you can handle right now, but could you check the front and rear bumpers to see if there is a second radar and also check the cameras to see if there are any other changes from AP2.5 hardware to AP3?
