    2023 Model S is a disappointment.

    Actually, if you have Autopilot Hardware 4, your 2023 has one camera less than your 2018, as the inline triple cam on the windshield now has a dummy camera 🤦‍♂️... granted the other 7 cameras have a much higher resolution.

    2022 Used Model X Plaid or 2024 New Model X Non Plaid

    I would get the 2022 (June Build) Model X Plaid just for the fact that it [still] has working ultrasonic sensors, so the automatic front doors work as they were originally designed for, but most importantly, no ridiculous High Fidelity Park Assist 🤦‍♂️on the 2022... plus all the benefits of...

    Problem with AP and CC in 2017 MS

    You can do number 2 from the Service Menu (which I know you can access just by seeing the pictures you uploaded to your first post in this thread) and number 3 you need Toolbox 3 and a Ethernet-Fakra cable.

    Problem with AP and CC in 2017 MS

    Hola all the way to beautiful Spain! I had the exact same issue and the exact same service mode error with my February built 2017 Model S 100D with FSD. I have a rooted MCU2, so I decided to check out what was going on with the backup camera feed, and your suspicion is completely correct. It...

    FWDs “open fully at this location” nowhere to be found…

    I was having the same issue with our Model X on 2023.38.6, and I found out that the "open fully at this location" needs a fresh GPS lock, since this feature is location based. So I took a short drive around the neighborhood, came back home, parked inside the garage and used the physical button...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Unfortunately not so unusual issue. Some very early first batches of the FSD computer had overheating issues. Watching your video, your Autopilot ECU overheated and has now failed. There are a few owners here (myself included) who went through this. If you open the Service Menu on your 2020...

    ECU shutdown Assistenzsysteme ausgefallen

    Hallo, Es tut mir leid, Ihnen mitteilen zu müssen, dass Ihr Autopilot-Computer tot ist. Einige andere Besitzer (ich eingeschlossen) beschäftigen sich mit genau demselben Problem. Es ist noch zu früh, das zu sagen, aber es scheint, dass es eine Reihe schlechter FSD-Computer gibt, die überhitzen...

    Window not closing completely.

    I have this issue with my 2017 Model S like once or twice a year. It's simple to fix. The window control module needs recalibration. Make sure you are sitting in the driver's seat and you must have your key fob with you. Then perform the following steps: Window Re-Calibration

    Autopilot/FSD, navigation, and side backup cameras not working

    Hi Larry, I'm sorry to tell you your Autopilot computer is dead. A few other owners, (myself included), are dealing with this exact same issue. It's still too early to tell, but it seems there's a bad batch of Full Self-Driving computers that overheat and fail. You can find out more in this...

    How to manually open the rear doors of a 22MS

    How to manually open the rear doors of a 22MS

    Be glad that you don't have a Model X!!! The Model S back doors become simple normal doors once you get them open... On the X you have to remove the speaker grill at the bottom of the Falcon Wing Door (FWD) by pulling it towards the 2nd row seat. Just out of curiosity, I tried it on my wife's X...

    How to manually open the rear doors of a 22MS

    Please don't take this the wrong way -as I'm genuinely curious- but wouldn't it be easier to just type the word: "Doors" in the search box of the Tesla Online Owner's Manual, than to write a whole new forum thread on TMC?

    Forget about Full self-driving, Dashcam/Sentry, a working Instrument Cluster behind the steering wheel and headlights that turn-on on their own when it gets dark... The things I miss the most about all the features lost with the death of the Autopilot ECU, are the battery preconditioning when...

    Viewing Sentry Videos on MCU1?

    MCU1 is the issue here. You could buy the fastest and largest USB drive money can buy, and still MCU1 wouldn't be able to process the video feed from the cameras, [let alone write to the drive], fast enough to produce a watchable clip.

    Viewing Sentry Videos on MCU1?

    From a technical standpoint, the hardware that determines if your Tesla can record video to a USB drive, is the Autopilot computer (only Autopilot 2.5 and 3.0 computers can)... BUT since the feed from the rearview camera goes first to the MCU and then to the Autopilot ECU (with the other 7...

    MCU2 upgrade downsides?

    I know you said you never used it anyway, but your XM radio should still work after the MCU upgrade. I had mine done on a 2017 Model S, and I still have XM on my vehicle (it stutters and refuses to save favorites), but it works... There are 2 different part numbers for the radio tuner for...

    Why can’t I just plug in and have it automatically charge?!

    gen 3 wall connector slow start

    I was having the exact same issue with my Gen3 Wall Connector. Seems to be getting worse with every firmware update the Wall Connector gets. I realized it was the "Only Teslas" and "Only Authorized Teslas" can charge here setting that was causing the super delayed charging. I changed it back to...

    How to keep lights on after stepping out of the car?

    Just needs to be inside the cabin when you press the brake pedal. After that, you can take it with you.

    How to keep lights on after stepping out of the car?

    1.- Open driver's door. 2.- Buckle driver's seat belt. 3.- Press brake pedal. 4.- Turn on headlights if not on a dark enough location. 5.- Press the "fold" button (the one in the middle) on the mirror controls located on the driver's door, (the one on top of the window controls). 6.- Close...

    Shared app use

    Yes, by "mothership" I mean the Tesla servers that manage the app services for the entire fleet. What happens when you (or your partner) open the Tesla app on your individual phones, is that the Tesla app (through the phone's internet connection) contacts Tesla servers (the mothership)...

    Shared app use

    The "last seen" message you see in your Tesla app tells you the last time your car contacted the Mothership. This was just recently changed this way with version 4.12 of the Tesla app, as it previously used to tell you the last time someone's app contacted the vehicle.

    Camera calibration vanished

    Your Model S has Autopilot 1.0 hardware, so just a single camera on the windshield. Camera calibration is just available on vehicles with 8 cameras. Raven S and X began production during the last week of April 2019, so it's not a Raven thing. Camera Calibration is only available for AP2.0 and...

    Camera Blind Spot MS Raven

    Since the Instrument Cluster is just a screen/display on MCU2 vehicles, it should appear there, just like on Hyundai/Kia vehicles. @verygreen did a amazing proof of concept a few years ago, so hardware-wise, it's very very possible: I would trade blind spot camera for the ability to...

    Model X 90D speed limit 90 ml/h

    1.- Correct. 2.- It changes the throttle mapping of the accelerator pedal. In short, it puts the vehicle in Chill mode in addition to limiting the top speed. 3.- It's quite hard for Tesla to keep up with all the hardware changes it does on its factory lines, so it's owner's manual has to be more...

    Model X 90D speed limit 90 ml/h

    The feature you mention from your Tesla app screenshot was implemented with firmware version 2018.24 as a result of a tragic accident of two 18-year old teenagers in Florida. It is meant to tame the acceleration curve and top speed of the vehicle as a safety measure for inexperienced or young...
