After reading @Struja post regarding his Taycan, I had to test drive the Taycan and this is my review. For context, I currently own a 2016 Model S75D and I have done my best to not compare the Taycan to it as my car is almost 8 years old now and is not really a comparable car to a new Porsche...

Anyone else having an issue with the memory profile not working correctly for the seat back position? This started with firmware 2023.26.7. I'm now on 2023.26.8 and the problem still exists. I've rebooted the MCU2 a couple of times and it hasn't "corrected" the problem. When I get in the...

My 2016 Model S 75D is coming out of warranty at the end of June 2023 (Tesla Canada was giving out a full 4 year/80 k km warranty back in 2019 ). What should I be getting looked at for an "End of Warranty Inspection" ? What are the common issues with this specific model? I've had all 4 door...

I want to take some pics of the car with the lights on (including the fogs). How can I force all lights to stay on including keeping the mirrors in the retracted position while outside the car?

Has anyone been to this supercharger location - 985 Boul. St LaurentMontreal, QC H2Z 1J4? On Google maps street view, it doesn't show anything there. I'm curious as I don't want to go there just in case there's nothing there. I'm in downtown Montreal staying at the Best Western plus on Rue...

Mint condition dark wood trim for 2012 to 2020 Tesla Model S. 4 pieces in 100% mint condition OEM part (not some vinyl wrap or ugly stick on sticker. I removed these pieces from my 2016 Model S and replaced them with a CF trim. That's the only reason I'm selling them. USD $230 includes...

My front license plate frame is loose (the top part). I've cleaned it (I just moved out a bit as the license plate mount is still attached with the bolts on the bottom underside of the bumper) using iso-propyl alcohol, removed old tape and also cleaned the bumper. I used this two-sided tape to...

Please state what version of MCU is on your car and also if you upgraded to MCU2 from MCU1 and what the version of Maps is. I have a 2016 75D, upgraded to MCU2 / V11 (2022.20.8) and I just got Navigation Data update 2022.28-14046. I mainly curious to see if the MCU1 cars have the same map...

I just got the MCU2 upgrade on my 2016 S75D last week and I noticed something interesting and very obvious. Prior to the upgrade my car was losing about 10 miles/16km per day just sitting in the garage. After the upgrade, so far in 2 days it has had zero vampire drain. The temperature this...

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding an upgrade to the center console flip door and the sliding tray panel to match the OEM Model S matte carbon fiber dash trim? I've checked the obvious - Amazon, Aliexpress etc, and nothing comes even close to the OEM CF trim. Of course these are all...

How much have you paid for the MCU2 upgrade in Canada? I just got a quote for $2.6k CAD. My car is a June 2016 build with refreshed bumper and AP1.

Any recommendations on wiper Blade refills and air cabin filter for a 2016 Tesla Model S? Is it simpler to get both replaced at my local SC?

Can someone recommend a trailer hitch installer in the GTA that has experience with installing the hitch on a Model S?

I want to get a tow hitch for my refresh 2016 S and was wondering if anyone here has bought any product from the site below. https://s3xymodels.com/products/tesla-tow-hitch-stealth-ecohitch%E2%84%A2-design-1

2-year ownership experience with a now 5-year-old 2016 Tesla Model S 75D Background/context I bought my 2016 Tesla Model S 75D at the end of June 2019. It had just been returned by the previous owner to the local Tesla Service Center in Oakville, Ontario, Canada at the end of a 3-year lease...

Doing some reading on tow hitch options for the 2012 to 2021 Tesla Model S and found these two 1. Uhaul Tow Hitch: Trailer Hitches & Towing Accessories - here's the install video for this hitch - 2. TorkLift Hitch: 2012-2021 Tesla Model S EcoHitch Stealth Both seem decent and I've read...

Looking for the OEM Carbon Fiber dash pieces for a 2016 Tesla Model S or X. I have an S and need the 4 dash trim pieces as well as the cupholder section under the armrest.

Looking for an independent alignment shop that works on Tesla's in Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton - west end of the GTA preferably,

I got an opportunity to keep a 2021 Tesla Model X Long Range Plus for an overnight test drive in late December last year. Background I am a current owner of a 2016 Tesla Model S 75D - fully loaded with the premium package and all options except the upgraded stereo (more speakers, amp and sub)...

It's official!!! Tesla is about innovation, NOT luxury! :) I personally feel the level of "luxury" on a Model S is "enough" as far I'm concerned. I attach more importance to the EV aspects of the car compared to the "traditional" definition of luxury - elaborate dash, leather etc. That's...

I'm curious to know if there are a few folks in the GTA that have ordered a refreshed Model S. I'm still on the fence till I drive one. If you have ordered one, have you received a VIN yet?

I'm in the market to buy new tires and the most important criteria to me are: Quiet riding Excellent wear rating I will be using the tires in the summer months only, however I am NOT interested in Z rated tires as that automatically conflicts with my second requirement above. Sizes are...

Just noticed this recently - not sure if it started after a software update or not. The cars actual location showing on the map is slightly off - not sure how far off it is, but for example when I can see a street ahead that I will be turning on to, the red arrow indicating my cars position on...

Is anyone else having this issue - the drivers seat right bolster (back rest) rubs against center armrest on left turns and makes a very annoying (to me anyway) creaking/rubbing sound on left turns. The front passenger seat does not do this on right turns or left turns.

Is it me drinking the proverbial Tesla Kool-aid or did the latest Mercedes Benz S class "adopt" a whole bunch of features that have been on a Model S for over 5 years now (some features even longer such as the minimalist interior and massive central screen)? Pop out door handles Massive...

Has anyone installed a door seal kit on a Model S? I only noticed that the Model S has only one door seal vs. my previous car that had two. If you did install a door seal kit, which kit or which product did you get? Is it good?

Anyone here been to Killarney Provincial Park recently? I've checked Tripadvisor for lodging (not really interested in camping in the park, and even if I was, the parks booking site is not showing any availability for this coming weekend) and the closest options are are all about an hour away...

I have a 2016 75D with about 51K km (32K miles) and lately I've noticed that the Instrument Cluster display is not always on when I get in the car. Sometimes I have to wait for it to boot up. I've done the "hold down the scroll wheels for 2 mins", but can't get it to reboot (just the main 17...

Has anyone removed the center console from a 2016 Model S? I want to swap out the console cover with a CF cover. I've watched this video (didn't find any other relevant one) however my console seems to be different as the screws shown in the video are not in my car (the ones closer to the...

How do you turn on the foglights while car is stopped and in Park? I want to take an exterior shot of the car with all lights on, but can't figure out how to turn on the fog lights so that they stay on. Is it because they are set to auto? Stupid question I know, but I am stumped. The...

My wife and I are planning to start a car review channel as I've been a car enthusiast since I was a kid (I'm in my 50's now lol). I know there are tons of car reviewers out there, and gaining meaningful engagement and traction will be an uphill battle. However I strongly feel my enthusiasm for...

Is there anything wrong with with leaving the Air suspension in Low setting ALL the time? I have the OEM 19 inch slipstreams.

When streaming music via BT from my cell phone to the car, the car reduces the volume of the cell phone as soon as one song finishes. So I have to increase the volume on my cell phone at the beginning of every single song. Has anyone figured out a workaround to stop this annoying bug?

What's the best/recommended way to measure max power of a non-performance Model S? I've heard that there is an IOS app (Scan tools for Tesla, but I can't seem to find it in the app store) that does this, but not sure if it also requires an OBD2 dongle as well. Anyway, looking for suggestions...

Does the pre-Raven Air suspension have variable comfort settings? I have a 2016 S75D and I have tried switching the suspension from Standard height to Low height, but that does not seem to make any difference in the comfort level. Other than auto lowering at a set speed on the highway and at a...

Apologies if this has been asked numerous times. I myself have already asked this question on recent threads, but I'm still not 100% certain about what the maximum width of tire I can put on a 9.5 inch wide rim and not compromise safety etc. Looking for advice/guidance from the Tire experts so...

Any recommendations for a good tire shop in Burlington/Oakville that works on Tesla's? I need to get my winter tires swapped out as well as the annual brake service. I had an appointment for today at KalTire in Milton, however the guy I spoke with yesterday (Nathan) must have misunderstood me...

Have you had a good experience purchasing an after market trunk CF spoiler for your Model S? By good experience, I mean the quality of the part? I know a couple of companies make them - RPMTesla comes to mind, but I'm interested in feedback from members on here on the quality of the product...

For this version - 2019.36.1 - which my downloaded two days ago (2016 AP1/MCU1), what exactly is this for? Reading the summary of the release notes - 2019.36.1 0164b9a (Software Update) | Teslascope - its obvious there is nothing for an AP1 car. Is this just bug fixes? Any idea what specific...

How do you keep your black interior door panels looking good? Mine always seem to attract dust or something that makes them look a bit dirty. Do you use any specific cleaner/conditioner - sort of an equivalent to what you may apply to your tires to make them look black and nicer. Just...

Just bought a set of Model X wheels and I need to find TPMS sensors for them. Anyone has some recommendation for a good quality aftermarket TPMS sensor?

I'm getting a used set of wheels off a Model X and it has the following sized tires on it - 255/45 R20 and 275/45 R20. I'm just wondering if I will need to replace the tires or not. I'm ok with a bit of rubbing in the front on full lock reverse, but not more than that. I know that 245/40 R20...

I had the rattle sound coming from the front suspension a couple of weeks ago, so made an appointment via the app and 10 days later dropped it off at the Oakville SC. I got a P85D as a loaner for the day (what a rush!). Got my car back the next day - Tesla replaced the front suspension (both...

I got my 2016 75D on June 29th 2019 from Tesla with a new car warranty (4 years /50K miles). Just got my first warranty repair done. It looks like a spring module was replaced. What exactly is that? __________________________________________________________________________________________...

Dropped off my 2016 75D at the Tesla Oakville SC for a faint but noticeable rattle sound coming from the front of the car (when seated in the car, you can hear the sound as if its coming from the steering or thereabouts). Anyway they gave me a 2015 P85DL - it has Insane and Insane + modes, I...

I've been hearing some occasional (driving slow on bumps or sharp undulations in the road surface) rattling/clicking sounds coming from directly in front of the driver - perhaps from the steering wheel area? Not 100% certain. Has anyone else experienced this? I have an appointment at my...

When AP is engaged, what do you usually do to stop the nagging to hold the steering wheel? I've seen videos where the driver holds the steering wheel just enough to not impact the car steering itself. What do you normally do? I've been waiting to see the alert and then I press the right scroll...
