    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Isn’t it interesting that for most, in your teen years your excitement to drive was palpable, now that level of emotion is connected to the latest version of FSD.

    Peeling yoke replacement

    My current, 10 month old yoke is not peeling, but I would like to replace it to get the center / mechanical horn. Will they replace a yoke with a new one if there is no issue with the OEM version? Also, any idea on the cost?

    Model X Supercharging without account.

    Rot rjn, you don’t want to be that guy who for less than the cost of a five gas fill ups, is taken to court for theft. As an earlier post said, if it shows a dollar amount on the screen after charging, it’s not free charging. This seems like finding and using someone else’s credit card. If it...

    Scratched black paint - fix it or forget it?

    You guys might remember my S LR was scratched and I put a picture up. I got a few estimates on a respray and went with the Tesla service center’s estimate. $1,300. Before they did the respray, they were cleaning and buffing the car and realized they could correct most of the scratch without...

    SLIDING SUNROOF

    My first S had one and I liked it! I used it on sunny days. However, they stopped making cars with sunroofs and I doubt they’ll restart.

    Georgia Vehicle Inspection

    I think some legislatures may be over-reacting to the loss of the gas tax revenue in the increased EV registration fees we’re seeing. I just read that new EV sales made up 7.5% of total new US car sales in 2023. I think the oil and gas industry has taken notice of this increase and will lobby...

    Scratched black paint - fix it or forget it?

    Sorry for the bad photo. Here’s another angle of the scratch on my black LR S. Traveling this week, but will take it to the shop that did the ceramic coating to see what they can do. I wish I could catch the ass who keyed it.

    Scratched black paint - fix it or forget it?

    Washed my black Model S today and found a 4-5 inch scratch on the driver’s rear quarter panel. See the two images. I hope it can be buffed out, but it looks too deep to me. I checked my sentry videos but didn‘t see anything. There were a few days when the SanDisk wasn’t working. This...

    Service center damaged my Model S

    It’s very east to see that the door does not match. That’s too bad that they can’t get this right. On the bright side, I do like the rims you have. Are those 19”? I have not seen that design.

    Supercharger failure - Oak Brook Mall (dead Teslas?)

    Bad Tesla press in the Chicago area as several news outlets are running a story of many dead Teslas and unhappy owners at the Oak Brook Mall Supercharger where apparently some chargers must have been down, but the cars were telling drivers to go there for a charge. I know it’s very cold in...

    Round Trip Estimate

    I think that’s been there for a while. I remember seeing that with the first S we had over a year ago. I think it‘s a nice feature.

    Tesla/Chevy joint Venture??

    Look very closely at the SUV I happened to see cruising around last month. Is it a Chevy or is it a Tesla? Equinox or Model 3? Ha! 😉

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    I don’t use FSD when there are cones in the next lane for that reason. I worry that a cone will be out of place or the car will do what yours did. Someone above mentioned that the older cars with radar didn’t have PB as bad. They should put the radar back.

    Dreaded MSLR 2023 Rear Most Left Passenger Seat Rattle

    I took mine in to the service center and they took care of it. If the sound comes back, I’ll take it back.

    Differences Between Mid-2018 Model S and Mid-2023 Model S

    Staggered, wider wheels in the back on the new S, the older cars were all the same and could be fully rotated.

    Autopilot and large trucks

    I haven’t seen this discussed before, but I’ve noticed when using autopilot or FSD, when my S LR passes a semi-truck or school bus at highway speeds, it will steer back to the right immediately after passing. I can feel and visually see the yoke steer to the right. It’s not unsafe, just...

    Tesla just called me to say they will have Highland in next week.

    For what it’s worth, my S LR doesn’t have stalks. I’ve had it since the spring and I like not having to take my left hand off the yoke to change lanes or indicate a turn. What I don’t like is the horn not being in the airbag!! I wish they’d change that. Anyway, to each his own. Just my $0.02.

    Tesla braked hard when car crossed in front

    Yes, my S does it too when using cruise or autopilot. I sometimes try to turn it off if I see the situation developing. Everyone has a driving style. Just think of it as your car’s style is like your grandmother’s…”You can never be too safe!”

    Open garage automatically… (but in reverse)

    I back my S into the garage because the charger is in the back of the garage. I’d like to have the auto garage door activate when backing into the garage. The system seems to only work when you’re drive forward into the garage. Does anyone know how to get it to activate when the car is in...

    A Modelo for the road…

    My wife and I were recently road tripping to Charleston, S.C. We stopped at the Orangeburg, S.C supercharger to charge up for the final push to our destination. I was surprised to see two guys in the Y next to me enjoying their Modelos before completing their charging needs and pulling away. I...

    What Percent is Your Tesla Charged to While at Home?

    I used to charge it to 75%, but Iowered it to 60%. If I’m going on a road trip, I’ll increase it.

    Supercharging Question:

    Congrats on your S. You’ll get lots of opinions here. I used supercharging sparingly with the 2016 70D I owned before the LR S I drive now. After seven years and 70K miles, it showed a range of 230, down 12 miles from the 242 mile range it started with. I wouldn’t worry about the...

    Was the tape added to the black, metal piece shown in the photo above? (Sorry it’s so large!)

    Dreaded MSLR 2023 Rear Most Left Passenger Seat Rattle

    Argh!! I have the same rattle in the my 23 LR S. Driver’s side, rear seat. If I unlatch the seat, no noise or rattle. Lock it in place - rattle. I think an image of the cloth tape solution would be great! Thanks!

    Unlock Three Years of Free Supercharging

    I sold my 2016 70D and now have a 23 LR S. It’s been 3 weeks and the app still says ‘Pay as you go Supercharging’. I signed the release form to waive lifetime charging on the old car weeks ago, but I’m still waiting for the 6 years to show on the app. I’m curious how long others waited until...

    Michelin vs Goodyear

    Good question. I’m looking to replace the tires on my 70D. Thinking about runflats, maybe?? Wondering if others have had good or bad experiences to share.

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    I took my phone and looked behind the front passenger tire, turn the wheels to the left for the best view, and took a pic of my battery's serial number sticker. See attached. I wish I had known to check this before I finalized my deal on the car since I was told mine was upgradeable. I also...

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    Arrgh!!! I've been down this road before... I bought a showroom /test drive vehicle back in July 2016. It was built in March of the same year and has the old nose. It's a 70D. At the time my SC told me the car could be upgraded to a 75D, but back then they wanted $2K. When the upgrade price...

    Tesla Forcing Slacker to Stream in Low Quality?

    I don't know when they plan to correct the problem, but I call up various songs a lot and it's been broken for quite a while. It does play save artists music though... Any word on when the fix is coming?

    Rattle-rattle... what can it be?

    My March 2016 build, classic nose 70D Model S, which has 25K miles on it has developed a light rattling noise near the passenger side far right air vent. It only does this when it's cold outside. In fact, when the car warms up inside, it goes away. It's not the vent. I've had someone hold it...

    Who unplugged me??

    We have about fifteen 240 chargers at work. During the day you'll see Volts, Leafs, Fusions and several Ss and Xs plugged in. Last week, a Leaf owner unplugged someone's Model X to plug in his car. No note, no call to security to ask to contact the owner to request they move - nothing. The X...

    Did you name your Model S, and if so, what?

    My model S is named White Shadow. You can guess the color! And I remember this tv show from long ago that used that name as well.

    Actual 0-60 performance of the S85D?

    What no love for us 70D owners? We're good for 5.3 to 5.2....That's nothing to sneeze at!!
