    Dreaded MSLR 2023 Rear Most Left Passenger Seat Rattle

    I know there's been some threads near or dear to this issue, but my question is what exactly, or more accurately, where do you put some form of cloth/foam/tape wedged in to stop the rattle? I have confirmed that it only exists when the seat is up and locked (wife sat there and confirmed where...

    Random Charge Stoppages - Error is BMS_a174 Charge Failure

    I have over the past couple of weeks been getting the BMS_a174 errors raised after the car stops charging (interrupted) when connected to a Gen1 wall charger of about 7 years old. I have found that it seems to continue to allow charging if I reduce the rate from 40A to 35A. Charging at...

    Trunk Part(s) - What Are They?

    In tinkering with hopes of somehow allowing my trunk to close a bit further into the car body to better align with tails lights, I found these. Both plastic caps come off with a decent amount of twist effort. I thought they were to adjust the amount of trunk surface that would lower into the...

    Passenger Door Handle Presents, but cannot open the door consistently

    My passenger door handle has randomly, and sort of infrequently, (seemingly from day 1) refused to allow the door to be opened when pulled on. Sometimes, a harder than normal tug seems to allow its opening. Other times it's simply not going to open. It always presents the handle properly, but...

    Advise Wanted: Car Cover for Inside Only - not looking to spend big $

    I'm looking for a preferably, soft material car cover for my MS/2023. I want custom fitted as the one size fits all types have always seemd a poor fit in previous cars. I have googled and found a gamut of offerings, but they range from obviously too cheap, to more than I think is necessary...

    Local Car Humor

    Yes, this is real, and was not photo-shopped. I want to take them up on it. But truth is I need tires for an ICE car, so when I make the appointment I'm going to see they can do both. LOL

    MS Right Rear Singing Tire ?

    I've had my MS for about a month. I noticed even on the drive home from picking up, that at pretty much exactly 70mph, the right rear tire/wheel emits a sound much like microphone feedback at a lower tone/frequency. I am purplexed on what the root cause is, other than the tire must be hitting...

    Yoke Creak?

    New 2023 Model S, 5 days new. So thrilled with it as it replaces my S 2016 and it's like a whole new level. Anywho, I have what sounds like a small creak or bind sound coming from the yoke when I make basic left/right turns. It is not every time, and it seems like more frequent at the start...

    Static or Buzzing Sound from Front Doors After Closing

    In car, parked, listening to stream or Apple Music, and open then shut either of the front doors. Music turns off as does HVAC; screen/car still in wait state. But I can clearly hear some form of static or buzzing near the door handle and even towards where the door speaker would be. It is...

    Contract Tampering ???

    I accpeted delivery on a new Model S for next week. I got an alert yesterday that my trade in vehicle offer (a current Model S) was expired. Have to redo trade in offer. I said no. I've already acepted delivery. They initially said send screenshot of mileage to them at their delivery email...

    Do ALL New 2022 Model S Ordered Come With the Yoke? I ordered in October and it shows it will be supplied with the yoke. I'm sort of on the fence..

    I think I'd prefer to just go with the standard wheel, but if it shows up with the yoke it won't be a no-go. Is there an official way to reach out to tesla to see what options are other than trying an unlikely phone call to a human or ask/confirm in the app where the car is in order/verify status?

    Model S 2022 - Is There the TESLA Lettering (strip?) right below where the trunk closes like the 2016 and earlier have ?

    I cannot definitively tell from rear end angled Model S 2022 pictures on the Tesla website or other ramdom site pictures, whether there is the the thin tapered strip (chrome/black) with the raised TESLA block font lettering that exists. I dont see after market parties providing skins or letter...

    Alarm Mode and Lightening

    Has anyone had issue with the Alarm being set off by either lightening or thunder? Its happened several times and I don't know what the exact 1 of the 2 is the cause. I believe it's the lightening, but the loud thunder rumble might really be the cause. Once I get the ap alert, being away...

    Possible Wifi Fix for Those That Can't Connect - Check Network Name Error

My ATT portable LTE hotspot, nope. A local Starbux hotspot, nope. Zip, nada. Always failed with "network connection...

    My New Y Nearly Stopped.......... for a tree leaf

    Picked up new MY Saturday. Was driving today on divided four lane state highway. Median separated the double lanes had trees of all sizes, most fairly large. Car was on cruise, but not autopilot; 60mph. Out of the left corner of my eye, I caught a decent sized tree leaf beginning to tumble...

    HVAC Fan Seed Falls Back to 1 After Leaving Car

    I did the last firmware upgrade and one annoying issue has cropped up that I could not find thru search. When I exited the car before, when I returned, the A/C fan was where I left it OR maybe up 1 level. Now when I return it is always on level 1. In South FLorida, that sucks. Should it not...

    Exit Car, Single Beep, Close Door, Doesn't Shut Down

    I have searched for the answer, but there are so many conditions, I don't believe I get an answer to the issue. Here are the exact steps... 1) pull car into garage 2) put in Park. Radio is on, A/C is on, MCU on, etc 3) open door, car beeps once as I exit and close door; happens too fast to...

    UHFS Audio - Front/Rear Fader Setting Will Not Stay Put

    I don't know if this started after the v8 upgrade or not, but I did not notice it prior. I also haven't figured out a pattern as to when it resets to mid point rather than about 70% towards the rear where I want it. Sometimes it seems like it happens during the day during one of my stops...

    WHERE is the QA in Tesla?

    What I continue to not understand is WHY QA is not doing a better job at catching issues BEFORE the car leaves the factory? We tend to see the same issues over and over here. I know these forums mostly show the cars with problems as those that have zero probably don't post as much, although I...

    Closing of Hood Resulting in Damage?
