Model S 90 D. I just drove about 300 miles on California freeways using navigate on auto pilot. While certainly not perfect my experience was very positive with a couple of glaring exceptions. The good: in all but one case it successfully navigated between interstates and to the appropriate...

Since I've moved to CA and out of the cold I haven't experienced the thumping since. But it does sound like there is a design issue.

OK, I think my parallel parking doesn't like me. Once I get the "P" to show up and double tap the shift lever, the main display tells me to get out of the car and it will park itself. Except that I want to stay IN the car while it does this (dangerous to exit the car in the righthand travel...

Why in the world would AEB not be implemented to PREVENT collisions (if physically possible)? I want my Tesla enclosed within a bubble (whose size varies depending on road type, speed, etc.) that the car will do everything possible to safeguard.

Please YES!! To birds-eye camera synthesis.

Ap2 S90D - I have yet to get the parking icon to show up!

Bump Its now April, 2017 and I just attempted to log into the car's TuneIn with my own account. As described so many times above, it will not take my credentials. Has this been fixed yet? Does anyone have it working? I also have similar problems trying to log into Slacker in the car with my...

Auto parallel parking question: AP2 car. I have yet to see any "P" show up anywhere, even though I've positioned the car reasonably, and had the blinker on. 1) exactly WHERE should I be looking for that mysterious "P"? 2) is there any other magic incantations necessary to auto parallel park?

Excellent work. But I'm confused in that a route of: Jackson Hole, WY Salt Lake City, UT Oakland, CA yields several red segments requiring slow driving, yet it is passing over perfectly good chargers along the way. Ideas?

So, if I understand this correctly, at the current time AP 2 cars are supposed to be able to be summoned out of the garage, but should not yet be able to "summon" into the garage. Is this right?

How is AP2 with perpendicular parking? Funny you should bring that question up :) I have an AP2 S and have been trying to perpendicular park into my garage. While it will do it, most times, it certainly does not get it into the exact center of the space, and although I set the bumper distance...

That's a bummer that the NexGen seats do not have movable headrests (although I'm actually quite fine with what is there). But I was really looking forward to telling my friends how a software update allowed the apparently Immobile headrest to move! It would have sparked some interesting...

I have the newest update in the car (17.11.3) and it autosteer pretty well at 70 miles an hour on the freeway. However, at least two of the new features from this update don't seem to be in my car, a late December 2016 S90D. One – no matter how many times I tried tapping three times on the...

Will your large mag mount support an iPad?

I would not want to ONLY use it in the car – what I envision is a system that could be used from the car, from a phone, or from a desktop, all working with the same Cloud-based data such as your routes and trips. (And of course if the car implementation was through a web app the car is atrocious...

I'm going to complement the current implementation of auto steer, even though I suspect it is not warranted. To whit, in the couple of weeks since I have had the latest firmware upgrade, the auto steer has gotten better – or at least so it seems to me. Initially, using it on a poorly marked...

I suppose its naive to hope that a very useful app like this could be implemented as a native app on the Tesla itself (like Calendar?)? Now that would be enormously useful!!

Thanks very much!

The EV Appliques site, https://www.evappliques.com/ , does not seem live. Does anyone know if it has moved?

I just installed 17.9.3 yesterday on my HW2 S90D. Although the increase in speeds is minimal (50 on interstates and 35 on surface streets), it appears to be driving much better! (Although still with improvements needed, of course.) Like many here I've tried to use the pre-17.9.3 auto-steer on...

Very nicely done. Can you post a link to the lighted appliqué? Also, if I could figure out how to PM you, I'd like to get a set of those pins from you - I'd be glad to pay you for them.

Excellent insight. It was not as seriously cold so testing was difficult, but it may well be the Max Height that is doing it. I advised the SC for the upcoming visit. Thx!

Thanks. I'll check them out. Anyone else with good recommendations?

That says it all -- which shops are "Tesla good"?

Think I'd like a TURBINE engine noise simulator. Wouldn't THAT get looks at the Tesla :-)

I have a SC appointment in a couple of weeks. But randall_s's comment above is interesting, since I tried to reproduce it yesterday, with the temp up in the 40s, and it did not occur, so I thought it might be temperature related. But I too have my driveway set to geolocate to HIGH suspension...

Could be. I'm still waiting to hear back from Tesla.

Here's the video:

<MODERATOR QUESTION: I don't seem to be able to upload a .mov file. How can I do this?> In the attached six second video it's easy to hear the problem as the car begins accelerating. Note that this appears to only happen the first two or three accelerations when driving a cold car. After that...

I loved the virtual outside mirrors! Certainly sounds like something Tesla should do.

Thanks.

I don't see where to edit the TeslaFi layout. Can you specify?

I must've failed "puzzles" in third grade because I look at the collection of pieces and cables that came with my model S for the iPhone dock and I cannot figure out how to install it. Does anyone have good pictures of how it gets installed or what it looks like once it has been installed? Thanks

Great advice. But how does the average person figure out with the diminished value should be?

FYI I tried this. Then got to replace my water soaked iPhone. Turns out a heavy zip log kitchen bag won't necessarily remain watertight while one cavorts in the surf. Perhaps a 'real' dry-bag. Or that safe...

HW2 S90D just got 2.52.120. The release notes just said 'bug fixes'. (I sure wish they'd publish details on every update; something might change that a driver sohuld know about!) However, no user-apparent changes; the car is still as smart as a brick. :(

If your "song "is an audiobook, you care a lot about it re-starting at the beginning!

Does it fit the DEC, 2016 S?

I have air suspension. So – a new term for me, "torque steer". No question that my Tesla has vastly more torque than the Audi but I was still surprised at how it responds. Perhaps that's the nature of the beast, but I would think a well-behaved software controlled car could address this.

How about a method for logging in that does not require a Facebook or Twitter account? Some of us do not use either.

So, I have my brand new red beauty with 4 Happa R2 snows and am beginning to learn its foibles and desires. Many wonderful learnings, but I'm a little surprised by its handling when I do a fairly strong acceleration from a stop. (All examples are on dry pavement.) For comparison, I've just...

That's a pretty good idea. Although there would have to be periodic validation to weed out old data. Where feasible, I'd like the cars' sensors to recognize places that they should raise before they get there. Or if that isn't possible due to the slow raising time, have sensors in the shock...

How can we see the Tesla Log?

I think that with easy-to-follow instructions non-techies should be fine. I concur with another poster that just providing you the token would be much more comforting. Thanks for the EXCELLENT work!!

I'm curious: are the tokens Tesla supplies (afrey we authenticate) read-only, or do they allow access to open doors, start car, etc?

I don't believe I've seen more than 3 bars. But the browser is INCREDIBLY slow -- it is SO slow compared to any other browser device I use that its one of the weakest "performance" areas of the car. It would be great if it worked at least as well as budget computers...
