    Is SC01 still transferrable?

    Thanks! The conflicting information comes from this post where someone says it's no longer transferrable after Dec 2022: SC01Transferrability and Tesla Support That's why I wanna check if anyone has done the transfer in 2023.

    Is SC01 still transferrable?

    I've been getting conflicting information about SC01 free supercharging transferrability. Has anyone bought a SC01 model S or X recently, from a private party, in 2023, who can confirm they have free supercharging, or who can confirm they don't? I have a prospective buyer who's very interested...

    What is going on with those Model 3/Y Accidents in China / Paris ?

    I find the blame placed on drivers a bit excessive. Surely I agree that the most likely outcome is pedal misapplication, but does dismissing it as end of story solve the problem? If this were an aviation accident because of misapplying the throttle, for example, we wouldn't go "oh the pilots...

    FS: AP3 Red/Tan/Light Dec 2016 90D Warranty Free Supercharging

    Yes. In fact, I just checked in the Tesla app's Upgrades -> Manage -> Active; and it says "Premium Connectivity: Free Unlimited". So I suppose it does!

    FS: AP3 Red/Tan/Light Dec 2016 90D Warranty Free Supercharging

    I never actually understood what free premium connectivity is. For my car I don't have a subscription available to purchase for any sort of connectivity, and it has LTE, web browser works without WiFi. Is that free premium connectivity or is that something else? FSD though is indeed not...

    Camera stuttering after MCU2 upgrade - software or hardware issue?

    I did my MCU2 upgrade a week ago (from MCU1 AP2.0 2016 December S90D). Right when I picked up the car I noticed the rear view camera stuttering and dropping frames. This bothers me a lot because I use the rear view camera to help make lane changes. By stuttering and dropping frames I mean that...

    Best Upgrade Path for Dec 2016 Model S?

    Thanks guys!! I'll go with the infotainment upgrade then. They did say in the quote that it will include HW3. As for the cameras, I don't care for it that much as long as it's not a requirement to subscribe to FSD (which from what it sounds like is not; since people who have FSD get into a queue...

    Best Upgrade Path for Dec 2016 Model S?

    Hey folks, I have a December 2016 Model S 90D which was right after they introduced AP2.0. I did *not* purchase autopilot back then. I recently bought the software update for base autopilot, and I'm looking to upgrade it to both have MCU2 and also be FSD capable (as a subscription since I...

    How dangerous is it to drive with low tread depth to Lake Tahoe?

    We're getting our tires changed to a fresh set of pilot sport AS3+s at Roseville. Thanks again to all of you!!

    How dangerous is it to drive with low tread depth to Lake Tahoe?

    Awesome - that gives me hope. Thanks a lot!

    How dangerous is it to drive with low tread depth to Lake Tahoe?

    And @AMPd - thanks! We'll give them a call tomorrow morning as well - the Tesla tires seem pretty rare for people to have in stock (Costco for example doesn't have it). Did you also have America's Tire install it (I've heard stories about third-party installers not being good with Teslas)?

    How dangerous is it to drive with low tread depth to Lake Tahoe?

    We've decided to try to convince our local service center to replace our tires tomorrow morning, and if that fails (which is likely), we'll cancel the trip. Thanks everyone for your kind and honest opinions!

    How dangerous is it to drive with low tread depth to Lake Tahoe?

    Hey folks, We have a Tahoe trip all planned tomorrow and being a car n00b, I've only realized tonight that our model S's tires are pretty worn. The front tires are probably about 2.5/32'', and the rear tires are about 7/32'' for one and maybe 3.5/32'' for the other. The good tire was previously...

    Did I expect too much from the HEPA filter?

    OP here - I got my car back from Tesla service. They unfortunately didn't find anything wrong with my HEPA filter after checking out the filter and doing tests (wonder what that means). Two strange things: - The service person said with confidence that having A/C on but not BDM bypasses the...

    Does using the accelerator to hill-hold harm the motor?

    To clarify - I do have vehicle hold, but there's still a slight (I'm being very picky here) jerky motion when using the brake pedal to stop on an upward hill. I have to time it so that the instant (H) activates, I'm neither going forward nor rolling backwards - the latter gives a worse...

    Did I expect too much from the HEPA filter?

    Thanks guys! I'll see if I can get Tesla to take a look.

    Did I expect too much from the HEPA filter?

    I got an S in December with the premium upgrades. The HEPA filter works great 99% of the time and I don't smell any gasoline fumes :) But whenever I inevitably follow a truck with horrible emissions that's visible as smoke, I can quickly smell that (and it's not just a little bit of smell; it...

    Does using the accelerator to hill-hold harm the motor?

    I like driving very smoothly when there are passengers in my S, especially when stopping at a light. I obsess on bringing the car to a perfectly smooth stop without feeling the suspension jerking back. It's really hard to do it when stopping uphill though :p so I sometimes use the accelerator to...

    Squeaking wipers from day 1 - worth bringing in to service?

    Hey guys, I wanna ask for some advice on what I should do with my model S's wipers which squeak (almost like scratching against glass but it's not leaving any marks) when used, ever since I picked it up in December. Given that people generally complain about Tesla service delays nowadays, I...

    400 Wh/mi consumption on Model S?

    Ah, thanks guys! I'll see what happens over time then. :) (What I drove was indeed more like 4 15-mile trips, so that extra overhead does make sense. I have 19'' wheels. Mostly low speed.)

    400 Wh/mi consumption on Model S?

    Hey all, I just picked up my model S 2 days ago and drove about 60 miles so far but already down to 187 miles of range (so, 100 mi energy consumption for 60 mi o_O). Weather is about 53 F here. I'm using standard regen, no creep, and have heating to 74 F. Tesla shows about 400 Wh/mi but my...
