Got the notification that 2020.44 was ready for installation this evening. So started updating. But for the first time, the update actually failed. Since I hadn't ever seen this happen before (complete with ugly red-lettered pop-up box on the center display), I kind of figured it would be...

Apologies in advance if this has been covered elsewhere but I didn't see it. A week or so ago I got my MCU1 and AP2.0 hardware upgraded to MCU2 and FSD computer. While the upgrade has been cool and I'm overall happy with it, there has been an annoying issue I wanted to warn others to know about...

For anybody who has previously replaced the base 19" Slipstream wheels on their Model S with the 21" Arachnid wheels, I am very interested to hear some actual feedback by people who have made this switch (as opposed to ancetotal information that we kind of all know already). I know many people...

I am not sure how many people here actually HAVE already took delivery of their Model Y, but if anyone HAS and can answer this very specific question, I'd appreciate it: What is the "seat height" from the ground? In other words, if you open the door to the Model Y and measure straight up from...

I've been away from the forum for a while so this may be old news. I took a long road trip this past weekend and so I used the Superchargers for the first time in months at a low SOC. I have a 75D that is (if I remember correctly) 350V. In the past, my max charging rate, even if I was the only...

After several delays (not Tesla's fault FWIW), our PV install and wiring was finally completed today. Yay! Tesla solar only. No Powerwalls at present (though considering them more and more!). The crew that completed the installation were used to new construction and didn't have a lot of...

I have a moderately tight garage. In particular there are ceiling to floor cabinets with a sliding door about 2 feet from the rear left (driver side) corner and the same about 6 inches from the front left corner of the car. Normal Summon works fine: opens the garage door with Homelink and backs...

Solar set to install tomorrow. Very excited! I am aware that technically the solar panels are not fully operational and able to generate electricity until the utility (PG&E here) does their part and gives the OK to connect to the grid. I understand this can take weeks - sometimes a month or...

I'm aware that Tesla is going to upgrade v2 Superchargers to 145kW up from 120kW. And I know this is happening in the "coming weeks". Looking at various Bay Area superchargers on the in-car Supercharger selection, seems to show them all as having max 120kW. Not sure if this means they just...

My neighbor recently got a new Model S 75D. He previously had a 2015 Model S 70 so he knows Teslas in general but isn't ultra-savvy/obsessed like some of us here :-) I noticed it in his driveway on a walk and chatted him up for a bit. He said he upgraded because he wanted the dual motor and...

I have a referral code for a free Model S for kids. No young kids so no need for this. Entertaining offers. Retails for $500. Battery Powered Cars for Kids: Kids Tesla | Radio Flyer As I understand it, I'd give you a code, you use that code to get the base radio flyer Model S and then you can...

I have a code for the 21" Arachnid wheel set. Includes wheels, tires, center caps, TPM sensors and installation. Retail price is about $5000-$6000 (they sell the black ones in the Tesla store for $6K but the silver ones are referral only). For Model S. I can select to have these shipped to any...

Saw a commercial that Audi is set to run for SuperBowl tomorrow. Audi Teases Two New e-tron Models In Super Bowl Commerical It’s pretty cool that somebody is advertising (and big $ advertising no less) electric vehicles. I live in California and I have still never seen a Chevy Bolt...

I posted a description of the new Tesla vehicle registry site and app I created (called TotalTesla) in the Model 3 forum at TotalTesla: New Tesla Vehicle Registry I don't want to duplicate all the information here, so feel free to read it above. But I do want to get some real-world feedback...

As a Tesla enthusiast, I worked to create a new website and app (iOS to start, Android in the future) with the intention of providing something some resources that are a bit different than what is available on great forums like here, Tesla's forum, Tesla Owners Worldwide on Facebook, etc. It...

I saw that locally (Livermore, CA) new CCS chargers were installed that can go up to 150kW and a few that can go up to 350kW. Knowing that Tesla has promised a CCS to Tesla adapter, I wonder what kind of max charge rates say a Model S/X will get at a 350kW (or even the 150kW) charger. Guesses...

Have taken several (about 6) trips (the longest was only an hour so far though) and used Navigate on AutoPilot on them. I have 2018.42.2 at this time. Here are my initial impressions. I'll update the post as I witness more or things change with future updates. Concept and Interface Great...

One of the features I understood was part of v9 (which I have - 2018.39.6) was that you would be able to receive notifications of vehicle firmware updates and initiate them via the Tesla mobile app instead of having to go the vehicle itself. I have the current-latest version of the Tesla app as...

I had been going back and forth about whether to buy the 3-4 year maintenance plan. Then I realize that while (slightly) under a year since delivery, I am slightly over the supposed 12,500 mile limit to enact this discount. I have 13,020 miles if it matters. Out of curiousity I logged into...

It seems that in one of the most recent software updates (2018.12 +) , the regen effect seems to be rather muted/reduced from where it was previously. I prefer a strong regen and the closer I can get to one pedal driving, the better. Although it definitely feels like regen has been reduced to...

Apart from a few 10-15 minute test drives in the past, I have had virtually no experience with older Teslas. That changed this week when my 2017 Model S went into the shop for an extended period of time - 4 days (and no ETA yet). Thought I'd quickly document my observations from 4+ days in this...

You guys may have seen this already (did a quick search but didn't see another thread on it - mods feel free to merge threads if I am wrong), but Elon has said that they will be implementing a new feature to allow owners to request new software updates. So for those of us who don't want to wait...

I have a radio flyer code for sale. $350? I had two but gave one to a fellow TMC member who used my referral code (a little bonus). But since nobody has taken me up on getting my second radio flyer code for free by using my referral, and seeing how it expires at the end of March, I guess I’m...

In another thread a member asked about how much vampire drain is caused by 24x7 (always on) use of a dual-channel (2 camera) dash cam. That led me to do a controlled test where I left the car unplugged on two separate trips (one 4 days, the other 3 days). One trip had the dash cams running as I...

Getting ready to start making some videos of AP in action and want to include what the car 'sees' via the binnacle display. I have a small camera that I can mount that won't obstruct my vision but I'm having a hard time finding an ideal location. Tried attaching it to the sun visor and while...

Woke up this morning and tried to access car via app. Vehicle Connection Error. Weird, had never seen that before. Went to garage and opened the car with the fob. Inside, the binnacle display said charging scheduled (the charge cable is plugged in but apparently it didn't charge last night at...

I have Friday off and debating going to see the SpaceX launch at Vandenberg. Pros: Cool night-ish launch at almost 5:30pm Cons: Traffic will likely be bad and SuperChargers will be extra impacted (but will be fully charged plus I have a Chademo adapter for some extra flexibility) Alas, wife...

I was a day 1 (31st here in the US) reservation holder who waited in line at the Palo Alto Tesla store. Fully intended to get a Model 3 as the Model S seemed like a bit of overkill (size and $ wise). I would bide my time until Model 3 came to production. Then Tesla announced in March of this...

I have one very curvy local “test road”. It features several switchbacks and an abrupt very sharp turn at the end. 4 months ago, AP(2) couldn’t handle it coming or going. It would wildly (and dangerously) cross over (not a few inches...more like a few feet) into the opposite lane. And the sharp...

Model 3s are really starting to show up in the Bay Area. No big surprise there. But lately I have been seeing them almost daily. Just consider the last 3 days... Saw one on my way into work on Friday morning. Saw another (parked) on Saturday afternoon. And then today I saw not one but two...

When I received the 2017.40.1 update, I enabled the auto close for homelink for the first time. Set the distance and all that. It’s pretty cool...when it works. For me, it probably works about 6 out of 10 times. When the little pop-up comes up with the “countdown” (closing in 20 ft, 15 ft...

Apologies if there is already a thread about this version (I did a quick search but not an extensive one), but thought I'd post that I got it today. I was previously on 2017.34.x so I don't know if the release notes have anything new or are just rehashes of what was in the 2017.36.x, 2017.38.x...

Never had a front license plate on any of my previous 13 cars. Don't really want to start now on my 14th one (Tesla Model S). Haven't yet removed the front plate bracket. Was thinking maybe I'd split the difference and use this STO N SHO bracket. Normally keep the plate off. If I do get a fixit...

In a previous post (see: My silky smooth 320 mile road trip with almost 100% AP control), I mentioned that several times on my trip I could not use auto lane change. I'd signal and...nothing would happen. But other times it would work fine. All total, I'd say about 65% of the lane changes worked...

Last weekend, I drove from the Bay Area to SoCal (Ventura/Oxnard area) and armed with software version 2017.28.c528869 on my (early June delivery) Model S, I did almost the entire trip with AP2. I marveled at how well it did, how smooth it was, and how little I actually drove. I knew I had...

Amongst the other interior changes (new color, switch to all synthetic premium/"vegan leather" material) discussed in other threads, I have also noticed that there are two (not including the cloth/base) options for black interior: Black and Classic Black. In the configurator all of the premium...

Looks like Tesla has refreshed the color options for seats/interiors. Added a new "creme" color. But it seems all references to leather for the seats/seating surfaces has been removed. So it appears that perhaps all of these new color seats are the synthetic "vegan leather". Interesting if...

Picked up my new white on white Model S. Most everything is great (Bluetooth audio streaming not working and one quite minor lower rocker panel needs adjustment). Really enjoying the car. AutoPilot has already proven useful. But something unexpected I noticed was wrong...on my Tesla avatar (not...

I have no idea if there could be any validity to this idea, but thought I'd throw it out there anyhow ;) What if (in addition to an obvious Q1 sales lever) the plan was always to "return" FUSC (at least via referral) and the last few months of paid supercharging was just to ensure that the...

Ordered a new 60D on Saturday. Excited to get into the car. West coast delivered are currently expected in June. But I also see I can select July as a delivery date. Question: Although I'd be excited to get the car earlier rather than later, might I be better off pushing the delivery to July...

Likely to order a new S next week before they discontinue the 60. I had totally decided to go with Pearl White with the Ultra white interior. White on white with the all-glass roof. (nothing against pano but I never open sunroofs, have never used a roof rack in my life...and my current car has...

posted this in for sale forum accidentally but now putting it in right forum Debating about buying a 60D New before they discontinue them mid April. But also very open to a used one (better value) if I can find something in the next week with these criteria: Must haves AutoPilot 1 (or AP2!)...

Debating about buying a 60D New before they discontinue them mid April. But very open to a used one (better value) if I can find something in the next week with these criteria: Must haves AutoPilot 1 (or AP2 though unlikely) Smart Air Suspension Dual Motors Price $64K or less (depending on...

I wonder if anyone has photos of a Model S with 20" Model X OEM wheels? I've always thought 20" would be the sweet spot between range, weight, handling and looks/aesthetics. Fill out the wheel well a bit better than stock 19" but less weight and rolling resistance than the (beautiful) 21" oem...

Did a few searches but didn't see this covered elsewhere -- although I have a suspicion it probably has been! In any event, if it's covered elsewhere feel free to link me to an answer in another thread. Question is: For software activated features (examples: EAP, FSD, High rate charging) that...

Over the weekend, had a chance to see and drive a Bolt in person. Stepping back a bit, I am a Model 3 reservation holder that is on the fence between waiting for the "3" and jumping into an S before then. Anyhow, back to the story... First I call the large Chevrolet dealer in my area and I say...

Anyone here have a Pearl White Model S with the Ultra White interior? I saw a MX with this combo (it had the black headliner) and it looked pretty sharp to me. But I'd like to see if anyone has photos of this "all white" combo on a MS. And if you are an owner, I'd like to hear how it's been...
