    Brake wear sensors??

    Just had pads and rotors replaced, had no idea that tesla does not have ANY wear sensors for brakes. (or if they do why they didnt activate). Very surprising pad life as well i do full regen mode and 99% highway miles and they "only" went 140K miles. My BMW M3 went 160K on pads with the same...

    "autopilot camera upgrade" Yay or Nay?

    I just noticed tesla sent me a message last november about a complimentary camera upgrade. I have MCU2 upgrade and FSD (2016 november delivery S60, now S75) and I was wondering if this is a good thing to do. Ive heard the FSD beta requires some "nerd score" to qualify so i would definitley...

    Got my MCU1 Refund today!

    I received a Check from Tesla this weekend for $2400, as I was one of the "lucky" saps whose MCU1 failed just out of warranty. I am actually shocked that a) I got it at all, b)I got it so fast c)I did not have to take legal action to get it and d) it was for the entire service invoice which...

    Service now blaming MCU failure on aftermarket stereo

    I had my MCU replaced in Feb of this year and the replacement refurb unit is now exhibiting the same steering wheel control failure, extreme lag and frequent reboots. SA hinted to me today when i dropped car off if maybe the aftermarket stereo was the culprit for the first MCU failure, and now...

    ABS seems "off"

    Ive noticed over the life with the car that the ABS behaves differently than other cars and not in a good way. Braking hard on unstable surfaces (gravel patch, rough road sections) it almost as if the ABS cuts the brakes out even though the wheels are not locked up. This gives the feeling that...

    So How IS FSD Going to work?

    Every morning I use autopilot to get to work, mostly freeways and about 8 miles of it is into the rising sun. "autopilot" instantly informs me the camera is blinded and to take over immediately. Seems like a pretty big flaw if you are really going to claim "Full self driving" Will this get...

    Bluetooth Priority pairing for tesla vs car stereo

    Tesla charging me $200 for diagnosis of why THEY broke my car....

    Had my MCU replaced one month out of warranty ($2200), when I got it back the dash screen took 15-30 seconds to boot up after entering the car. I called them and they scheduled a mobile service and then changed it to drop off and just sent me a diagnostic charge to accept.... Pretty F-cked up...

    MCU died - out of warranty - "Aftermarket Modifications waiver?"

    Took car in for the obligatory out of warranty MCU Failure and called me today to ask for a waiver as there is an aftermarket car stereo in the car and this may be the cause as the MCU is HIGHLY sensitive yada yada yada. The implication is that if you do anything to the car it could cause it to...

    "Normal" Motor noise claims Tesla Service

    Just took my car in for a deceleration whine from almost exactly 25mph (sounds a bit like a piccalo pete firework on low volume) no whine on acceleration or at any other time. I got a new motor and axles a while back and the new motor has been making this sound since I got it back. Previous...

    Good luck trying to schedule service...

    You can only do this from the app on your phone now. will ask you for "preferred address" for service center and then nothing happens. even if you type in exact address. Just another example of the CRAP service that will continue to get worse as the user base expands. Hopefully Tesla gets...

    Anyone have decel whine from 25mph down?

    Got my car back from service where they replaced my motor and axles (or so they say) for a roaring sound that was occurring from 60mph on up. that was solved but now replaced by hi pitched whine from EXACTLY 25mph down (kinda feels like it is some system issue). Service center says they "cant...

    Latest nothingburger software update 2019.8.3aaa23d

    I got a 75 as a loaner and it seems faster than my s60. Single motor and everything else the same. i though the only difference was the derated battery in the 60 vs the 75. did they software limit acceleration in the 60??

    Wierd radio issue

    I have an s60 and there is a weird situation where if the car has been at rest for at least an hour when you get in and switch to a radio station the sound cuts in and out with radio like static for about 5 seconds then it is fine. It's like it's warming up or something. Anyone else had this occur?
