Hi: My 2016 MS has started making a loud rapid clicking noise in the front when I "start" the car. Audio file from my iPhone attached. It is lasting longer an longer. Now it lasts about 30 seconds before it stops. I scheduled an appointment at my service center but it is not for another two...

I recently moved to new community with gates that open by a transponder (Transcore) strip placed in the upper left hand corner of the windshield. I haven't been able to get this system to work for me. A person at the HOA told me Tesla windshields block these transponders. When I use the Easy...

So the climate function on my Tesla app stopped working. The app turns the heater on, it runs for 10 seconds +/- then shuts off. If I am in the car and turn the heater on using the app the heater starts and runs normally without shutting down. Any ideas?

So woke up this morning and my MS is power limited and the home link is grayed out and gone in touch screen menus. Yesterday the car was fine. I have plenty of energy and it isn't hot or cold 70 degrees. Any idea why I'm power limited? Also I pulled out of the garage and the homelink icon...

So for the year I've had my MS I've been giving thumbs up to songs I like. Now Slacker hardly ever plays any new songs. Is there a way to wipe out all my thumbs up and start over? Also I thought the Slacker play lists were supposed to change weekly or monthly etc. That doesn't seem to be the...

Just some advice. I had a piece of tin foil fall into my cigarette lighter that was large enough to hit the contacts and this blew the fuse my Blackvue dashcam was on. The tech told me they see that all the time with coins and paperclips etc and that Tesla's were prone to this because of the...

My battery cooling system seems to run constantly. If my car is sitting in the garage and I walk by with the fob and the door handles come the cooling system starts running and runs for hours before shutting off. When I come back from a drive regardless of length or outside temperatures the...

If you haven't seen the new navigation UI based on M3 to be forced on MX and MS. Model S: User Interface

Have you seen this article? First look at Tesla’s new maps and navigation engine I'm a fan of the highway graphics showing road signs and lanes. According to this article this feature is going away. (See video) For those who like it, how do let Tesla know we want to keep it?

Making progress

wow total dick move by Tesla. Although I have a MS I wanted to watch the model 3 event tonight online. Turns out you have to make a deposit to watch. Really disappointed in Tesla.

I'm concerned about the musical tastes of my fellow Tesla owners/drivers. Does anybody know how Slacker comes up with this list? How is Slacker determining what people are listening to? Does streaming from my iPhone count in the Slacker top 20 or if I have the radio on?

Hi: Does anybody know what this sound coming from the front of my MS is? (attached file) My MS has always made this sound on and off but I've never worried about it. However in the last couple days it seems to be making this sound all the time. Otherwise the car is running great. Any thoughts?

Going to visit my parents in Venice, Fla in a couple weeks. No SCs nearby and Chargepoint only shows a couple dealer chargers in the area. Anybody from Venice clue me into where to charge in the area?

I'm going on a trip for work and plan to drive my MS. The hotel has a Siemen's VersiCharge 25 amp charger. Will I be able to charge with my SAE J1772 adaptor?

Perhaps some people with automotive-engineering experience/background could speculate on why Heads Up display is not more common in cars. I've driven a couple chevy rentals, corvetteand camaro, with HUD and liked it. Clearly it can't be cost as the price would drop dramatically and the quality...

So Slacker just stopped with the attached error message. I hit the "use Tesla account" button and nothing happens. Anybody know how to fix this error?

I am planning a trip from DC to Venice, FL to visit my parents. Using SCs to get there doesn't look like an issue. But once there Venice and even Sarasota look like a charger dead zone. No SCs near by, a couple on Chargepoint and a couple destination chargers. Can anybody local to the area...

Do I have to do something to receive the update? Nothing on the screen to click to own load.

I can't connect to my MS uding the Trsla app today. Settings on the app are correct. Never happened since I picked up the car a month ago. Any suggestions?

Ok so the auto open stopped working after 1 week. I have to either use the fob or touch the door handles. What gives? Can the 12 volt batter really be that depleted after 1 week with a new car? I've tried using both fobs - holding them by the the key ring next to the door handle, door and...

I have the standard charging kit that came with my car. Right now it is plugged into my Nema 14-50 plug. I didn't drive my MS today so it is sitting at 80% battery charge. Should I plug I tonight before I go to bed, even though it won't charge? The green light on the unit is on. Is this...

Tesla still doesn't get enough credit for how incredible the Model S is

Ok, I love the car. Awesome. Buyers remorse gone. Here are a couple things in no particular order. Tesla Premium Luxury Electric Vehicle – emphasis on premium. High on cost. Low on what most people would consider luxury items. Negative: Serious negative that Tesla needs to address: -...

Just a curious. In the unlikely event that a Tesla is stolen can you call Tesla and have them "turn the vehicle off?" I asked my delivery specialist and he didn't know. But he did say you could use the Tesla app to see where your car is.

Tomorrow I officially join the club. Delivery Day for my Model S at 10 a.m.

i'm planning on purchasing a blackvue dash cam and just plugging into the power port with the adapter. Is buying the black view battery pack to power it in parking mode worthwhile or ridiculous considering it is running off the Model S battery? Does the blackvue two channel use enough...

Delivery day is in two weeks. Can you attach your keys to the Model S FOB? If not do I need a FOB cover and if so any recommendations?

August 17!!

I received a Tesla email today saying my Model S "has completed production and will be transiting to Md soon." "scheduled to arrive late in the third week of August." Actually I'm thinking overall +/- six weeks to assemble and deliver isn't too bad. However if my Model S is complete that...

My delivery date is now Aug 18 - Sep 1 for my S 75. I still don't have a VIN number, when can I expect that? I'm guess I'll get updates narrowing the window until I get an exact delivery day?

When I get my Model S do I give the car access to my WiFi for updates etc or does it just do its thing using the LTE connection?

I read some time ago that silent running EVs were being blamed for accidents because people didn't hear them. I heard that the new updated front end has a outward facing speaker so people can hear the car coming. Can anybody confirm this? If so will it increase cabin noise?

Are there any options to get colored brakes? Just ordered a S 75 in blue. I think yellow or fluorescent green brakes would look great with the blue. Or is this after market brakes or after market painting the brakes?

Tesla's website has a map with superchargers on it. When you hit the 2016 tab it shows new to be built SCs. It is now mid 2016 does anybody know the status of all these new SCs? I know of one in Laurel, Md that is actually near completion.

i just ordered a model S 60. I have one concern and that's the range. I am 95 percent a local driver where range will not be an issue. I'm concerned and think maybe I should modify to a 75 before my week runs out though. I live in DC. I recently drove my Taurus Sho to Louisville to visit my...
