A rabbit chewed through the actuator wire for my frunk. It won't open from the screen. I also tried the battery trick where you short the wires in the front bumper (used to get into the car if the 12 volt dies). That did not work for me either. Is there any other way to get into the frunk or...

Just got the notice myself. 2016 MS. I, for one, am happy that they are being proactive and throwing this error early before all of us hit our 8-year HV expiration. While I was at it I asked them to do a full battery health check since my warranty will be up in about 6 months. They couldn't fit...

2016 MS A/C Question. When I first get in the car it blows just fine. After the system is on for a long time (2 hours?) it is still blowing cold air but it is barely coming out of the vents. The front louvres (at the bottom of the front bumper) are open so I know it isn't getting blocked there...

My 2016 MS needed its onboard charger replaced (which they did under warranty). But, they also told me my HPWC might be faulty. My HPWC is connected to a 100 amp breaker. But my car can only charge at a rate of 48 amp (60 amp breaker). Would it be better for me to change the breaker to 60 amps...

Did anyone ever figure this one out? After the latest update I have been getting this message a couple of times in the past week. Most recently it popped up on my phone while I was driving but the climate was still turned on and blowing which leads me to believe it is an issue with Tesla's...

Reading the responses above I am still not clear on how this works. I have a Model S and I am about to purchase solar. Can I use my Model S referral code? If yes, do I get the 5 year warranty AND the solar referral credit ($250)?

They aren't buying $80k cars. These are Model 3 people who aren't doing their research like us Model S folks are.

I am starting to get a little concerned about the lack of information Tesla provides about AutoPilot at delivery. On various Facebook groups I'm member of I see many people taking delivery of their Model 3 and thinking that it is fully self driving (they paid for the full self driving...

Battery Upgrade Discussion (looking for examples)... Due to the free unlocking Tesla was doing for vehicles in Florida many of my friends are learning for the first time of this capability in some models. However I have been surprised to see reactions from some that they feel the fact Tesla...

My MS came with the Goodyear Touring tires (the new ones with the foam inside). I'm now at 16k and it is time for new tires. I've been really happy with these tires but not happy about only 16k (especially after hearing that the Michelins are getting 30+!! Anyone else with the Tourings also...

Box is on the passenger side. In the footwell on the right (remove the plastic cover).

Anyone used the Destination Charger at the Horseshoe Bay resort (near Marble Falls, TX)? It says for patrons only... I'm guessing I can go in and have a bite to eat at one of their restaurants and be considered a patron? It also says "see valet" -- does that mean I need to pay the valet to use...

tga - I'm not an electrician but I can 100% understand (and agree with) what you are saying. However... I'm not sure why pgiralt said what s/he said in the second post in this thread (quoted above). It seems that is incorrect information (that you can't convert to a 14-30). If true, then I...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the earlier posts in this thread but is the way the 14-30 is wired OK for this application? I'm curious why that route wasn't mentioned earlier and using a 14-50 was suggested instead. Since I cannot find any adapters that are [L6-30 --> 14-30] but I can find some...

Since the 10-30 adapter is no longer available from Tesla, any suggestions on how to use this type of receptacle (L6-30)? It seems that going the route of [L6-30 --> 14-50] --> [14-50 --> UMC] and remembering to lower the Amps down to 24 is the way to go now?

Looks like visible tesla has this... not the geofencing part but better than nothing.

Is there any app or website which can warn you when your battery gets below a certain level? Or, more specifically, can geofence the warning? I am typically very good about charging overnight. But, the last couple of nights I have not been able to use my garage because we are doing some stuff...

Anyone else notice that there is no longer a "login" screen for the stream audio? Also, all the Slacker branding is removed. I'm sure the login is still there but now it appears to be hidden/behind the scenes.

Simple... just get different colored key covers. Here is just one (of many) options out there. Car Key Cover Case Silica Gel for Tesla Model S in Tesla Accessories for Sale

Separate "deduction" (which is actually a "Rebate"). You can still claim that. But, some people itemize their deductions which includes all the sales tax they paid throughout the year (rather than just taking the standard deduction). That is specifically what I was commenting on.

Good point. You obviously can't take both (not pay tax and get the federal deduction)

You know you will owe me a kickback if it works, right?....... :D:p

Don't any of you dare cite my name or say something like "well a guy in Ft Bend just got it approved last week"....... I don't want them coming back to me saying it was a mistake and I owe. :mad: o_O

Sorry, I was on my phone when I wrote my earlier response (with every intention of coming back here to give you all the full scoop). Here is what I did. For the record, the guy I was working with said one of the main reasons why I was approved for the exemption is because I was so prepared so be...

IT WORKED!!!!!!

I'll be trying this when I register my MS tomorrow... I don't have high hopes but we'll see.

That is unfortunate. For me, a Dash Cam is only truly useful if it is a "set it and forget it" thing. Having to press the WiFi button whenever I want to turn that function off but pressing it again so it connects to my home WiFi defeats (some of) the purpose. Oh well... not the end of the world...

Sorry if this has been asked but is it possible to turn the cloud WiFi on and the local WiFi off (or at least have the SSID of the local WiFi not transmit so it isn't viewable by anyone who walks by my car). For example, when I come home I want it to automatically connect to my home WiFi (aka...

"Nest like" functionality is an incorrect term here. The whole point behind Nest is that you let it figure things out on its own (which is what the current <terrible> Tesla functionality also attempts). If you want scheduling, a vast majority of plain old thermostats in homes can do that. No...

My question specifically is asking if I can force the update to begin immediately? In other words, if I am connected to my WiFi at home, how can I force my car to search for and initiate an update?

n00b question. Is there a way to force the download... or do you need to wait for Tesla to push it to you?

I received my refreshed MS a few weeks ago and it has the new center console (yay!). But, I just saw this article... it appears that Tesla now has available a center console which people can retrofit in older MS which looks just like the one in the refreshed MS... except this retrofit version...

Is there a place to provide official feedback to Tesla for suggested improvements? I am sure the ideas I have are not the first time someone has thought of it and there are likely even posts on here about them (e.g. a shortcut to the suspension settings in the top notification area of the 17"...

I could care less about screen mirroring. But a 360 all around view (like Nissan / Infiniti / BMW / and others have) would be awesome and I would pay for that if it was a seamless install (looked like it was part of the car and not a retrofit). As others have stated... must integrate with the...

Anyone have an update on this? Mine still don't work in Auto. :-\

Can someone with a refreshed Model S who does not have the rear facing seat option take a photo of the back of their rear seats for me please (from the trunk looking at the back of the seat)? I'd like to see where your child seat LATCH hooks are located. I have the rear facing seat option and I...

I was on the fence about the std sound system... decided to keep it std and I'm very happy with it. There is an aftermarket sub which can be easily put in the trunk if you want more bass but imho the std system is A-OK as is.

Here's the new key cover... it is rubberized. Looks great!

I guess I don't consider this "swag" but the key fob holder is apparently different too. I REALLY like it. Don't have it on me right now... will post pictures later today.

Yup, that's what we received. There was also a lapel pin (of the "T" logo) in there.

Confirmed with my SC today as well. Tesla has sent a notice to all Service Centers that they are aware of the issue and will be fixing it in an upcoming firmware update (no ETA on when that would be).

Hasn't crossed my mind to check they yet (haven't even had the car for a week). But, that is a good point and is something I'll try to figure out when I get it back.

Dropped my car off at the SC today (to fix an issue with my pano). They said they are aware that the manual has the old fuse box layout and Tesla will be sending out an updated version "soon."

I was trying to install a dash cam in my recently delivered refreshed Model S and it looks like they redesigned the fuse box (likely to accommodate the placement of the HEPA filter system). Unfortunately, the manual still has the old fuse layout in it so I'm not 100% sure what is what. I have to...

I have to go into my SC Thursday for a separate issue... I'll be sure to ask while there.

There is a missing element from your story here... are your parents going on the trip with you? Otherwise, wouldn't you want to be nice to your parents and let them drive it around while you are on your trip??? If that's the case, then you won't need to worry about vampire drainage... you'll...

You're in luck. I live just south of Sugar Land. Send me a PM and I'll give you my direct contact info.

Btw... if you aren't near me, you might consider reaching out to the Houston Tesla Facebook group. More targeted audience... you're likely to get a better 'hit rate'. :)

I was about to offer the same. I can't let you borrow it for the entire month but if you find that it is draining and you are somewhat nearby I'd be happy to pass by and let your parents top up your car. What part of Houston will you be in?
