    Recent issues with my 2016 Model S (trunk latch, door handle present)

    Do you know when the new design came out? My car was built in December 2016 and I took delivery in January 2017.

    Recent issues with my 2016 Model S (trunk latch, door handle present)

    I opened the rear door from the inside and all the sudden that handle presents. At first it acted funny by presenting but not retracting, then eventually it presented and retracted as normal. Can't explain it so keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps working. Can anyone explain how this...

    Recent issues with my 2016 Model S (trunk latch, door handle present)

    Yes, was beeping but not opening or closing. Funny thing with my rear door handle not presenting--a few days after making my original post, I was cleaning the back seats leather and opened the rear left door from the inside. Ever since, that door handle is presenting as normal! Happy, but...

    Recent issues with my 2016 Model S (trunk latch, door handle present)

    Low mileage (28,000 miles) 2016 Model S with zero issues until a month ago (no extended warranty). First issue was my trunk stopped opening/closing. I had Tesla mobile service replace the power strut but that did not fix it, so I scheduled an appointment at the closest service center. They...

    Why so few SW updates for my 2016 Model S

    sure, but the number of affected cars can't be that big. You'd think 10 months would be more than enough time to get them all done.

    Why so few SW updates for my 2016 Model S

    Thanks for the link. I verified that my car is part of the recall. But the recall date was Feb. 5, 2021 and I haven't been contacted yet. Typical Tesla-time I guess....

    Why so few SW updates for my 2016 Model S

    Follow up question--I heard months ago that Tesla is required to replace a chip in a mandatory recall. I believe it has something to do with the center console screen. I haven't been contacted by Tesla and haven't heard any further news about it. Is there anything I need to do or is it just...

    Why so few SW updates for my 2016 Model S

    I bought my 2016 MS 5 years ago and still love driving it. I used to read a lot of TMC forum posts to keep up to date on things, but haven't been here for over a year now. So I'm wondering if the lack of software updates is due to the age of my car and Tesla isn't updating older cars very...

    Help identifying

    I removed the top center panel on the inside of the rear lift-gate to get to some wiring. Right in the center there was something that had a 2-wire connector that for some reason would not come out no matter how hard I tried. I started trying to pry it out but could see the plastic was going...

    Tell me why you love your dash cam?

    I'm happy to read about cases where a dashcam was used to prove someone was at fault or deliberately keyed a car. My car was parked near work and was involved in a hit and run. I wonder if a dashcam would have been able to prove who did it since I believe the car came along-side and clipped...

    Someone bumped into my car

    Sorry to hear. I was parked outside work and came back to this. No note or anything. It's all repaired now and good as new!

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    This morning I dropped off my 60D, with stock wheels, a broken volume control wheel, and normal performance. After work I drove home a 75D, a fixed volume control, uncorked performance, and these sweet 21" wheels thanks to the referral program! Thanks Tesla, I feel like it's a different car.

    Tesla has a monopoly. Best to wait?

    I'm in the same situation--I live in a condo that currently has no charging available in the parking garage. I've had my MS for 3 months and use a Tesla brand destination charger about once a week in the parking garage where I work. I'm also on the committee at our condo looking into options...

    Slacker Not Playing Song Requested Through Voice Command

    I find that it usually takes many skips, between 5 and 10, to finally get the requested song. A few weeks ago it would play the requested song immediately. Something has definitely changed.

    Firmware 8.0

    I've noticed in my AP2 MS (17.9.3), self-steering sometimes works one day on a particular road, and on another day it doesn't, center console says self-steering cannot be enabled (on the same road/speed where it worked before). Like today on my commute, it didn't work on any roads (freeway...

    Wind & road noise with all glass roof?

    I took delivery on 1/7/17 with all glass roof and haven't noticed any noise. I just checked and there is no rubber seal along the front edge of the glass roof, but the glass seems to be flush with the top edge of the windshield. When I took delivery, I noticed a very small scratch in the glass...

    Very nice, I got mine about the same time and debated on the 21" grey turbines (ended up not getting them). Did you use XPEL?

    For cars with PUP, are dynamic turning headlights working yet? I can't see mine turning when I take 90 deg turns in parking garages.

    17.5.28

    Went for a drive after installing 17.5.28 and auto steer worked well up to 50mph. On way back it was snowing and auto steer suddenly turned off with warning: Auto Steering Disabled: forward radar signal disabled (or something to that effect). When I got home I noticed most of the front bumper...

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    I just used my phone as hotspot and hope to get the update overnight. If your phone used 1.3GB of data and didn't get the update, what was it doing to use that much data?

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    Still waiting for the update, but my car is parked in a condo garage with no wifi available. What are other options for getting the update besides waiting a long time for the cellular update? How much data is this update? Maybe I can use my phone as a hotspot if it's not too large....

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Found out my Tesla won't be delivered in 2016 after all (confirmed order on 11/27). :( Apparently it came out of production a few days ago and looked promising for a December 31st delivery, but then a final quality inspection found something requiring attention, so now they are saying the first...

    Kagu Rubber floor mats

    I'm going to order these also. Question--does model S come with any mats over the floor carpet? Just wondering if these All-Weather Kagu mats go over the factory mats (if any).

    Dude, really?

    It's great that you never have to plug in to SC, but don't forget, there are others who may not have garages to charge overnight and are more dependent on them. I, for one, will be using an office parking lot with a few Tesla chargers, and will be using them (even if it means backing into an...
