In 2016 XM was only available with the panoramic roof option. I have a hardtop yet despite this when Tesla updated me to MCU2 they added the digital FM/XM radio option and configured the infotainment screen with the XM control software. Even added XM to the audio sources. But the antenna wasn't...

Be aware that the battery chemistry has changed over the years and I don't know of any timeline that Tesla has published. That said I have a late December 2016 S75D that I have had TeslaFi log every activity since new. With 70,000 miles my total battery degradation has been 5.73% with the...

I have XM as one of the infotainment options on my new MCU 2.0 with the radio option so I assume XM is enabled. Yet if I select the XM demo channel (Ch 1) I get nothing. I know this channel does not require a valid XM account because this is their demo sales channel. Makes me think there is no...

Beyond adding an antenna, anybody know what else would be needed to add XM service to my new MCU 2.0 with the add on FM/XM Card? I have a hard top late '16 S that might be possible to run a coax up the A pillar to a roof mounted antenna. Spend a fair amount of time in areas without cell service...

Excluding the West Coast, I think this is the busiest supercharger in the West. Came thru here before Christmas and on New Uesrs to find only one charger available. Came thru today and only 2 available which were then taken. Suggest Tesla look at the useage and add an additional SC nearby.

FWIW my son wrangles carts at Costco. He is limited to a max of 10 carts when not using the cart machine. Says he is frequently asked to add another cart when full and passing by. Tries to explain why he can‘t stop and add an 11th cart but many don’t believe him and retaliate by just abandoning...

Apply RainX to break up the raindrops into tiny spheres that the wind blows off the windshield about as much as the wipers do. Much improved visibility.

Stuggart did an excellent job replacing both the rear bumper, driver side rear quarter panel, and minor bending of the hatchback back into it's original shape on my model S. Got it done in two months and there was no degradation of the battery so I assume they kept it charged. Only issue is they...

Am yet another Dec 16 S75D owner. Got 2019.12.1.1 and immediately left on a 2000 mile all interstate trip. It's TACC that's been broken. Now there are consistent braking episodes that never occurred before. I've driven this particular route a number of times before without any issues and the...

So many great spots here in the West.....WY is amazing. I'm headed to Casper to float the N Platte at the end of the month. For more variety suggest West Yellowstone. Tons of great trout fishing of all kinds within a 20 mile radius and lots of good guides. Henry's Fork, Madison River, Hegben...

TeslaFi says I used 3,826KWh to drive 14,207mi which gives 269Wh/mi with my late 2016 75D

Barry: Used Stuttgart Auto Body. Talked to the other Denver area authorized Auto Body shop. Name escapes me. It's a chain and they only do Tesla repairs at one location (Parker??). Rejected using them because they insisted keeping the car starting when they order parts. So they might have it for...

Just got my S back from an Tesla authorized body shop in Denver area. They replaced the rear bumper, supports, re-shaped the hatchback door back to the original curve AND replaced a rear quarter panel. Took just under 8 weeks.

Four months! Sounds like Tesla needs to certify more auto body shops in your area. Nothing like competition to improve the customer experience!

Am thinking that there is an oversight in the software that no warning message come up on the display yet the fault stops AP operation. Sounds like an update is needed.

Just picked up my Model S from Stuttgart Auto Body in Englewood (Denver area). They replaced both the rear bumper and driver's side rear quarter panel, straightened the bottom of the hatchback back to it's original shape, plus replaced a few support members. Took 7 1/2 weeks. Given the...

I understand that currently no tours of the Gigafactory is offered. Does anybody have a clue when we might be allowed to tour? Am planning a Spring road trip in our S to tour the Fremont plant and since I'll be passing thru Reno it would be an ideal opportunity to tour the Gigafactory as well.

Truely scary! Please update us as you learn more. Having a deep distrust of high power electrical plugs/receptacles that get worn by multiple connect/disconnect cycles and corrosion from dissimilar metals I installed a hard wired HPWC in the belief it gives the best safety margin.

Was waiting for a Model 3 till I took a test drive of a Model S. Placed an order that night so what more fitting name than "Carpe Diem". But also frequently referred to as Tessie.

It'a a ying/yang sort of thing. I'm in love with the driving experience. Acceleration, handling, braking, quietness, nav system and all the entertainment options are fantastic. I hate the lack of a decent storage option for a space saver spare tire. I'm frequently too remote for timely road...

Got rear ended at a stop light and two weeks later got backed into in a parking lot on my 6mo old S. Both accidents 100% the fault of the other driver. My insurance, Hartford, and the Tesla approved auto body shop have agreed on the estimated repairs. BUT Hartford refuses to pay the requested...

Am posting here on the TSC Forum in the hopes Tesla monitors our posts. My first request is that in the event of an accident that causes any airbags to be deployed, the video from the front and rear cameras for a minute before the accident and a minute after be automatically sent by email to...

Wow! You are one lucky gentleman to have the break occur in such a safe manner. My plan of action would be to pay to have the piece examined for the cause of the failure. Then it should be easy to follow up with Tesla should it be a manufacturing defect.

Installation of the transformer probably started. Yesterday a backhoe was digging next to the charging racks.

It's not fun when TACC sees an overhead sign and slams on the brakes while you get an urgent beep, beep, beep. Granted it only lasts for a second or so but it is alarming to say the least! Afraid I'll get rear ended! On a 4 day 2,200mi trip I used TACC all the time and had false alerts about 3-4...

AIMc said "I am most interested in your (or others) attempts to remove the 'blue jean' stains from seats. Anyone use a product that specifically worked well?" Great timing. Used Griots Garage 10994 Leather Care Spray for the first time today to remove a slight blue jean stain on my new tan...

Add the Dallas Service Center to the list of sites with amazing customer service!

Am a new 60D owner in Fort Collins, CO. We had 2" new snow two days ago and I had to drive to Denver early morning. I25 was surprisingly icy half way to Denver, then got much better. Passed at least five slide offs. n Nebie here forgot about turning down regen. Don't know if it was because of...

I also have a new 60D and went for my very first jaunt today. Using Michelin ICE-X snow tires inflated to 45psi. 54mi each way, 42F temp. Got 314 Wh/Mile at 70MPH gaining 1,116' and into an approx 12MPH headwind, on the return drove at 75MPH and got 240 Wh/Mile. So averages out to 279Wh/Mile...

None of the 10 charging sites are pull-through. Sorry. Was there this afternoon with 3 other teslas. Didn't expect such instant demand.

The Loveland Supercharger opened this afternoon :)

It's OPEN!! Perfect timing for me as I picked up my new 60D today and my wall charger won't be installed till Friday. FWIW The Loveland Supercharger directions: drive past the Embassy Suites Hotel entrance around to the West side of the Hotel.

Stopped by yesterday, Dec 21. Only remaining item appears to be a missing overhead light pole to be installed on a concrete pedestal footing that is all ready for it. All 10 charging stations have zip tie holding the charging cable to their stand. The green master transformer is installed as...

With the battery actually 75KWh, you can charge the 60KWh battery to 100% all the time without battery degradation Vs only charging the 75KWh to 85% capacity to avoid degradation. In addition the 60KWh version actually has another 2.4KWh so real capacity is 62.4KWh.

I didn't notice a green transformer. Given the Embassy Suites is a large, multi-story hotel, the missing transformer might be adjacent to theirs or even sharing one with the hotel? Suspect MP3Mike is correct about a 10th pull-in stall is being added.

Have no idea what all the construction steps are but looking nearly done to my unknowledgeable eye. The power transformers are all installed and 9 charging stations are likewise set on their concrete pads. Still covered by clear plastic without the charging cables installed. Located at the West...
