I now exactly what the OP is taking about. It does seem to be somewhat variable based upon my experience running FSD (supervised) 12.3.3 on my MSLR. Sometimes is seems to do well, but othertimes it's incredibly abrupt, overshoots a bit to far to the right, then oscillates back left then...

I think trying to generalize by vendor is dangerous as this really comes done to the capability of the local shop. I think you'd get much more valuable input if you can reach out to people in the general area where you live and solicit their input.

If it was manufactured after mid-Oct 2016, then it is AP2. If it was AP1, the FSD was not even an option to purchase, not matter what the price. The only option with AP1 equipped vehicles is if you purchased what was simple called autopilot. There was no AP vs. EAP distinction with AP1, and...

I've not found that using the scroll wheel to adjust the following distance is available if you have FSD (supervised) engaged.

Here is the link to Tesla's page with full details on the infotainment upgrade (a.k.a., MCU1 -> MCU2). https://www.tesla.com/support/infotainment My understanding the vehicle you describe is what's considered Autopilot Computer 2.0, so the current cost is listed as $2,250 plus applicable sales...

@username787 : You maybe saw guidance that for some Model 3s with the LFP battery chemistry that Tesla recommends charging to 100% regularly, say once a week. That's actually not about maintaining the health of the battery, but is more about the battery management system (BMS) remaining...

Yeah, just saw you post on the Powell Ave site and was about to reply that seems you've found a new local hobby! Enjoy. Not sure when I'll get to Hendersonville again to try it out, but am sure will be there sometime this summer depending on when I go to visit family member that lives in the area.

@markb1 - Can you potentially point me to a simple resource on steps on how to get the new API set up for someone like me not that is not that savvy on the server communication side of things? Did you have to set up your one website and register it to do that, or were you able to do it via some...

Yes. flatbed is the generally recommended/preferred way. That's how my first 2016 MS90D was towed the time it had to be taken to service that way. In theory it would be possible by lifting front wheels and putting dolly under the rear wheels, but I'd be really uncomfortable about anyone towing...

You can easily confirm via the VIN if it is a 2023 or a 2024 MY car if you have it. There are a variety of VIN decoder sites you can find. I tend to use the one on the TeslaTap site, but there are others that will also do this for you. The 10th character represents the certification model...

RE confirming if the car has FUSC ... That's actually really difficult to do until the car is in your name. As far as using an option code look-up, Tesla basically broke the API accurately reporting the option codes a copy years ago. My old 2016.5 MS90D would report itself as being a Model 3...

I don't think there is anyway to generalize as the service several of these types of places give will heavily depend on the personnel that work there. So even if you people you know locally say they had good experience, there is always the chance that the people working the shift you're there...

I’m working from memory, so may not have the steps perfectly correct, but you will see alerts pop up on the instrument panel display to show autopark available. You then need come to a complete stop. Then If there are multiple spots available, you use the right scroll wheel to cycle through...

Parking assist (auto park) capability was added recently in 2024.2.13 software update. I have it on my Dec 2023 built MS LR that does not have ultrasonic sensors and only uses Tesla Vision. I’ve not really explored if it will do parallel parking, but I’ve used it a few times for backing into a...

If you currently are using the FSD trial you can simply go into the Autopilot settings and switch back from FSD to autopilot or steering assist (beta). You will immediately see the driving visualizations switch to what you'd have without FSD. Doing this does not end or reset your trial and you...

I fully understand that there is a one month free FSD trial underway (I also have it). But I still believe if you go into the autopilot settings and turn off FSD, so revert back to just EAP or base autopilot, then you will likely see the visualizations adjust to the level of autopilot...

What you show indicate what I think are the FSD driving visualization. You might want to go in and turn off FSD, switching back to either base autopilot or EAP, and see if you see any changes in the dash driving visualization. There was update in 2024.2.13 which improved the driving...

I presume you're referring to one that has the large black oval front and the other with the front fascia that looks more like today. 2016 is a complex year with essentially three different main variants. The black oval version, what some call the classic nose, was produced up through...

I'm also planning to view the eclipse, but I'm not expecting much delay as I walk out into my backyard given I happen to live right square in the zone of totality. What I can share is my experience when I took my 2016 MS90D in August 2017 to see the total solar eclipse.v That time I drove...

I participated in the FUSC transfer program in Q4 last year. You were required to have the old car in the same ownership account being used to purchase the new car at the time of purchase/delivery. The transfer was actually executed at the when you accepted delivery of the new car, so both...

Make sure the current owner on the MS is not intending to transfer the supercharger and FSD to their new car. If it's a private party sale, I'd make sure you get in writing from them that they will not do that. Once you have it transferred from their on-line account to yours you're OK, but as...

Sorry, Not sure if there's something going on with how this site is showing posts in timestamp order for me, but at the time I made my post that initially replied to your trip data, the only item post of yours I was seeing was your original post with the single photo and no statements around...

I did read your original post, which I've quoted below and was what I posted my response to. No where did it make any mention of your driving speed, being stopped, or any information on traffic. Hence, I did not have any information to go on other than the simple computation of average vehicle...

I'm well aware of the seasonality influence. I'm also aware that always best to judge over longer periods. I've trended energy consumption not only on my prior Tesla by all my ICE vehicles over the past 40 years. I do have full energy usage statistics on my prior MS90D from July 2016 until...

I've always heard that for the earlier vintage MS that when programming a fob that you must have all your fobs reprogrammed at the same time. It sounds like he was only programming one of them, expecting the other to still work, versus reprogramming the car to recognize both fobs at the same...

I'm frankly disappointed with the range, which really goes to being disappointed that I'm not see any significant improvement in energy usage in a Wh/mi terms for highway cruise conditions. For reference, my lifetime average over almost 80k miles on my mid-2016 MS90D with 19" slipstreams was...

I also replaced my mid-2016 MS90D with a new MS LR in December. I understand most of your comments, but the one I don't quite understand is the comment that auto lane change does not work. Did you purchase EAP, or just have the base autopilot. I did decide to purchase EAP, partially for the...

When the energy display pops up, do you see a small yellow triangle/warning type of icon in the lower right corner of the display? If so, this pop up will happen when you transition from a condition where regen is limited to no limit on regen. When it's a little colder, this will happen when...

There are multiple threads about this. It's not just related to Tesla, I've had other ICE cars that would also do this if I parked them in my garage when it was wet and let them sit for several days. It all has to do with moisture on the rotors/pads leading to rusting and the pads sticking to...

Headlight assemblies are also different, with the refresh having the LED strip DRL which has a tendency to yellow and fade from the inside corner out. Change in the interior includes the storage console between the front seats versus the “Classic” oval version has an open tray some call the...

My memory is that for the 2018 level, when they program a new key, they need to reprogram all the keys at once. That’s where if they didn’t have the “lost “ key, I don’t believe it would work anymore.

I disagree. I had a mid-2016 build MS90D which I owned for 7.5 years. It would over 120 kW below 40% and I've seen it the ideal conditions hit 150kW. Here's a plot of several supercharging sessions in Q4 last year before I sold it. My total time to supercharge from say 20 or 30% to 70 or 80%...

So my two cents related to the two reference Model S cars and your concerns around "high mileage". First, the difference in mileage between them is 10k; 2021 with 45k vs. 2022 with 35k. My first reaction when I saw your post and your concern about high mileage was did I overlook a digit or a...

Actually, the change to the new EPA standards didn't impact the MS LR much at all. Less than 1%. Went from 405 to 402 miles EPA rated range with 19" wheels I used ABRP for a few years with my prior 2016.5 MS 90D, I'm tending to find that ABRP is actually over estimating the energy consumption...

So I also did the one-time transfer during the Q4 promotion. I ordered my car on Oct 29. Just a few days later, on Nov 3rd, I was sent via email a copy of the supercharging transfer agreement. This was before they added into the app to make this election during the preparation for delivery...

@leocm - A couple of other things to maybe thing about regarding a car of this vintage. Car was built with MCU1 main screen/infotainment processor. If you've not already, I'd try and confirm if it's been upgraded to MCU2. If you have access to the car, you can pull up the software page...

I had my June 2016 build MS90D for 7.5 years (purchased new end of June 2016). It had right at 80k miles on it when I sold it. Sorry, I never took a photo of the battery part number label, but would guess from similar build time that it's likely same version. Here's link to a post I did a...

There previously were two fasteners that went in from the underside. Do I understand those has now been removed? I've not gotten around to removing it from my new MS LR that was delivered late December, but I do not spot from a quick look at my car. Also, for those that have removed on...

There may be other ways to get a list of all supercharger sites, but the way I do it is to pull the supercharge.info database. I forget where I found out how to do this, but here's except of a python script which I use to pull it. This actually will give you the full worldwide database behind...

There were some differences in warranty based up battery size, but that was very early on an only related to the original 40 packs per memory. By the 2015-2016 era (maybe even 2014), there was no different battery warranty based on pack size for the Model S

I would question Tesla on this. The change from the 8 yr / unlimited to 8 yr/150k miles didn’t happen until Mar 2020. Here’s one on-line article published at the time about the change. https://www.electrive.com/2020/02/03/tesla-updates-battery-warranty/ I seem to recall you are buying this...

Realize that even without switching owners in the app, if Tesla realizes that car has changed hands, then they will likely strip off the FUSC. At least that’s what I’d expect in the US where it could be considered fraud to hide the ownership change from Tesla in order to retain FUSC benefit.

Permit on the supercharge.info site can mean a multitude of things. Are some cases where pins get added to supercharge.info based upon a report in something like a planning commission minutes. That could be in the planning stage, well before a permit application is submitted or applied. I...

OP specifically asked: Note the emphasis on “purchase of a new Tesla”. Which is why I answered the way I did regarding the transfer promotion and my experience transferring over the SC01 from my 2016 MS to my new 2023 MS LR (which now has SC05, not SC01).

Did you receive notification from Tesla about the ability to transfer on the purchase of a new car? I know that’s what happened in Q4 last year when owners could transfer it over, but am not sure how the notification was handled for the Q1 promotion currently underway. You should be able to...

Sounds like it will be really tight, but curious if I might get lucky and it be on-line by Friday end of the business day. Will be coming back through the area on the way back to Indiana, and be a good chance to add another “dot” to my map of visited superchargers. If not, will need to wait...

I ordered my MS LR on Oct 29, 2023. Took delivery on Dec 20, 2023. So about 7.5 weeks. My original delivery window was by the end of November, but it shifted a couple times, first to mid-Nov to mid-Dec, then to by end of December. I don't recall the precise date I was notified the VIN, but...

If the agreement states like you wrote, 4 yrs or 50k miles from the time the original warranty expires, then the first key question is what was the trigger for the first warranty expiration. The OEM warranty is 4 ys or 50k miles, whichever comes first. In my case, I hit 50k miles after about 3...

See my comment in your other thread. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/used-model-s-2016-5-inquiry.320834/page-3#posts

You will find a lot of mixed views around the 90 packs. Part of this goes to the fact that there were multiple iterations on the 90 pack and I believe there may be some legitimate differences in how the later versions performed compared to the early versions. The negative comments will state...
