    Uncorking

    Escalate to a manager. They weren't even willing to do a test drive with you?! That seems ridiculous.

    Uncorking

    My car was "uncorked" twice before they finally did it. Both initial times were "successful", but my car didn't feel any faster. I managed to convince them when I mentioned the perf_config value in the API. They said there was some sort of software issue that made the car not persist the config...

    "Phantom Drain" causes and solutions

    I haven't checked the car at all for almost a week, our overheat protection is set to "No A/C", and our phones are relatively far away from the car (though not always out of range). I'm currently seeing 14 miles per day of phantom drain! For comparison, our Model S is seeing less than 1 mile...

    LA installer

    Can you elaborate? I was actually planning to go with them, since they did a good job when installing my PV system.

    Tesla Solar inverters

    That’s a good point, but I’d rather not have to wait a whole year to determine if I’m not producing the guaranteed amount. Besides, the compensation amount is less than what I’d pay from the grid, so it’s still in my interest to mitigate issues as early as possible.

    Tesla Solar inverters

    Sounds like they are able to provide optimizers in some cases. I don't know if shading will be an issue, but I definitely care to monitor each panel independently. Is this something that customers are able to do?

    Tesla Solar inverters

    Hi there, Looking into getting solar for our home, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible :). I had a pleasant conversation with a Tesla solar representative the other day. One thing that caught my attention was that during the conversation, the rep expressed a negative opinion towards...

    Warranty Mileage Increase?

    The builder still says, "4 year, 50,000 mile limited warranty". Could you link to one of these cars?

    Leaving the Tesla family for an ICE

    I got anxious just thinking about that. I should be more grateful to have a garage where I can charge at night.

    Firmware Update 2018.12

    AP2 cars are actually remotely driven by parked AP1 cars.

    Firmware Update 2018.12

    That's true. It's likely that they set a certain rollout percentage (say, 25% of the fleet), and they hit that number. They'll probably look at metrics, then push the update to a larger percentage.

    Firmware Update 2018.12

    Not if those servers are hosted by Amazon. They should be able to handle the traffic. Edit: should be, but it's possible that they ran into issues. It's unlikely that this scale is large enough for them, though.

    Firmware Update 2018.12

    I think the only indication is that they slowed down/stopped the rollout. From what I've seen, this is usually followed by a newer (cherry-picked?) build.

    Model 3 Preconditioning

    Should that be 6-8 kW? Also, those figures seem interesting. How'd you come up with them?

    Vampire Drain after 2018.4.9?

    It's been a day since I installed 2018.4.9, and the vampire drain seems to be just as bad as in the previous update. In the past 12 hours, I have lost 6 rated miles. I even went as far as unpairing our phone keys from the car, since we've been spending all day at home this week. It seems that...

    Vampire Drain after 2018.4.9?

    It may have been 2018.4.9. Let me go to the car and verify :) Edit: It's 2018.4.9. I apologize :) Can the thread title be updated? It made a huge difference before. I'm hoping that it won't be needed with the latest update.

    Vampire Drain after 2018.4.9?

    Hi everyone, How's vampire drain after updating to the latest build? I used to get a loss of ~10 miles overnight. I got in the habit of turning off Bluetooth before going to bed everyday. Has anyone been tracking their vampire loss before/after these recent updates? Thanks!

    $2K to go from 60 kWh to 75 kWh

    Nope. (Almost?) all 75D cars will go from 5.2 to 4.2. The newer 75D cars after June already have the upgrade from the factory, so they're not affected.

    Apple Watch 3 LTE interference

    Someone posted about this on Reddit. It's a known issue according to Tesla. I was able to reproduce it: (Tested this with a 2015 Model S P90D and a 2016 Model S 75D facelift, and both an iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X) Phone call with iPhone, Apple Watch S3 LTE, all radios enabled -> other party...

    Limit 85

    Is "someone" driving a service center loaner? If so, you probably shouldn't mess with it.

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    If there are only 4, then the list just dropped to 3 since they're about to update mine. 155xxx Vin. There's no way in hell only 4 Teslas qualify in CA. That's a statistically insignificant figure, considering the number of Teslas in the state.

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    Awesome news! Mine is a 155k car. Can't wait for more information to become available to my SC.

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    It's possible they're acting on old information. I'd check back with them again next week.

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    I just went to the Burbank service center, and an employee dismissed me by saying that any upgrades will show up under MyTesla to purchase, and they can't do anything at this time. I showed him this thread and the one on Reddit, and he said he heard about the upgrade. It didn't seem like it. I...

    DashCam Wiring - Refreshed Model S

    Is anybody NOT using the female 12V plug adapter? Is there any technical reasoning for not cutting the included cable and soldering it to the 4-pin fan connector directly?
