    Help - I Totaled My Model S

    So I totaled my 2016 Model S 75D a couple of weeks ago driving on an icy road. The road turned but the car didn't and I wound up hitting the end of a guard rail head on. Luckily, I was only going 20 mph and was completely unharmed, but it did set off 4 different airbags - driver's, both...

    FS: New Gen II Signature Edition Wall Connector w/ 24ft Cable

    I decided not to install this referral reward as I have an existing Gen II connector...not as cool as the one w/ Elon's signature though. Sorry, I totally spaced out and forgot to post here first but it's available via auction at a good price (mods feel free to remove this if it violates forum...

    Unintended/Over Acceleration Event

    Something that freaked me out a bit happened earlier today so I thought I'd share. I've already reported it to Tesla and they've escalated and are pulling the logs. I hopped into my Model 3 to head home from work, stepped on the brake and shifted the car into D to pull forward out of the...

    Can't find the metal on metal rattle

    I took delivery of my Model 3 a month ago and have noticed a rattle coming from the back rear seats that sounds like a loose seat latch rattling around. I happens when I go over bumps or rough roads regardless of whether or not someone is sitting in the back. It's maddening because I can't...

    Did Tesla stop warning about Supercharging idle fees?

    I just checked my account and noticed there was a balance for Supercharger idle fees. I've gotten warnings previously but didn't get a warning on my app for the time they charged me for idling (it was inside a paid parking garage) nor did I get a warning today when I fully charged at a...

    What is it with all these rear-end accidents? Here's my footage.

    I was in stop and go traffic last week on the freeway. Autopilot stopped but the Ford F250 box van behind me didn't quite make it. Luckily I had a front and rear dashcam...or so I thought. I offered it to the police officer. He said, "I don't need it." I told the insurance adjuster of the...

    Easter Egg Idea

    Okay, because the P100DL Model S is the quickest production car on the planet and that its performance can be controlled by software, wouldn't it be cool if Tesla had an Easter egg to emulate the acceleration curves of other performance cars? Throw in an emulated engine sound for that...

    Just Noticed This with the James Bond Easter Egg

    I had the 007 Easter egg active and just noticed this today. Anyone see it? It took my driver profile name "Driver X" as shown in the profile screen and displayed it as "Diver X" at the top. Sneaky...

    Rated miles not adding up - what gives?

    I'm not sure what's going on - perhaps someone can explain it to me. Example: I've charged my 60D up to 90% which shows, say, 193 rated miles on the dash. This is based on something like 285 Wh/mi according to the energy plot in the center display. I drive 50 miles where my total Wh/mi is...

    I think I messed up my rain sensing wipers!

    Any help out there would be appreciated I was finishing off an install of a BlackVue 2 channel dashcam last night in my AP1 refreshed Model S using the spare constant 12V power found in the microphone grill. Anyhow, as I fished the camera power and rear camera wires from the microphone grill...

    Carfax for diminished value

    Anyone have an extra or unlimited Carfax report to give? I'd like to check if my $4400 door ding that was repaired at a Tesla authorized body shop is listed on Carfax. If so, I'm going to make a diminished value claim.

    Guess how much the damage cost to fix...

    A few weeks ago, someone crossed into my lane on the freeway and their driver's side mirror hit my model S on the rear passenger door. It was a minor impact as I barely heard the impact and pulled over just to be safe. This could have been much worse as we were travelling at about 60mph. The...

    Tesla is Replacing LED Headlamp - But I have XPEL

    I'm getting my passenger headlamp assembly replaced under warranty due to a buzzing sound that doesn't stop after the headlight and car turns off. Unfortunately, I've had XPEL applied to the headlamp. Has anyone had any experience getting Tesla to cover the cost of something aftermarket like that?

    My Rear Jumpseat Cooling Solution

    Now that summer is nearing, I thought I'd share with you what I used all last summer for cooling my rear jump seats. First things first, make sure that the a/c setting is either on fresh air or biohazard mode NOT re-circulation. Even though you can turn up the fan to 11 on re-circulation, the...

    Memory Seat Recall w/ Fob Not Working

    Anyone know what's up with this? This worked a while back with an earlier update but hasn't worked in a while for me. The screen identifies the key that's in the car but doesn't change the seat position to the proper user account without active input.

    Autopilot doesn't work in underground tunnels?

    Anyone else have this problem? When I drive through a particular tunnel near where I live that goes under the water, I get the take over immediately warning tones if I have AP activated. Unfortunately, if this happens, AP or TACC can't be activated for another 20-30 minutes for some reason...

    Audio Change in 2.36.31?

    I just noticed today that my UHFS sounds like crap as compared to yesterday. I spent quite a bit of time trying to adjust it but didn't have any luck getting it to sound right. I realized that 2.36.31 was installed yesterday and maybe they "tweaked" it? A few things I noticed: - The front...

    Autopilot restrictions gone

    I just realized a few days ago that autopilot is no longer limited to 5 mph over the posted speed limit on non-divided highways. I've been playing with it and there's no limit at what I can set it to regardless of road type. Anyone else noticw this on their vehicles? I can't say for sure it...

    Slow windshield wipers

    I was in my first torrential downpour today and I thought the automatic wipers were stuck on low and weren't switching to high so I put them on myself. To my dismay, the wipers were already on high. I feel like the high setting of the wipers are only a tad faster than the slow settings on any...

    221 Rated Miles - 60D

    I charged my 3-week old S 60D to 100% for the first time two days ago and got 221 rated miles! Typically I set the charge limit to 95% and I get 209-210 rated miles. I hope it stays that way!

    Why fresh air setting for jumpseats?

    Tesla encourages the use of the fresh air setting for better air circulation when using the rear jumpseats. Can anyone explain why that setting has better circulation to the trunk? When I put that setting on, the speed of air exiting the rear vents noticibly decreases.

    Anyone use the Noggle?

    I know it looks silly but does anyone have experience with the Noggle in the Model S? I have 3rd row jumpseats and wanted to hear from anyone that's used one before either with that or with rear-facing car seats. Specially, what length is appropriate and how well does it fit on the rear vents?

    Model S Jealousy - A Twist

    Today was delivery day for my new 60D! The plan was to take delivery, run through the checklist and then drop it off at the detailer for XPEL, Opticoat and tint. I hop in my E46 BMW M3 with my wife to head to the delivery center - we both love M3 and even though it's 14 years old we are...

    Anyone forgo pre-delivery detail when picking up in Dedham?

    I'm taking delivery in Dedham and don't want the car washed prior to taking delivery. They are requiring that I sign a waiver. The waiver states: "If you request that we not perform the pre-delivery detail on your vehicle, we cannot and will not be held responsible for scratches and surface...

    Model S Delivery Times Now 8+ Weeks

    Last week (end of June), a new Model S was estimated to deliver in the late July/August time frame. Fast forward a week and now Tesla's website says September delivery. What gives? Major hardware change? The Big 3 automakers typically have a 2 week shutdown in August to implement model year...
