I am on a net metering program where the rates are tiered, so the rates for electricity goes up as my consumption increase in 2 tier system. Electricity consumption and produced are metered separately, so given my production is less then consumption, it is best for me to actually net out my...

2017 Model S here Everything had been well for almost 5 years, on my last drive today, it felt suspiciously cold and realized that no warm air is coming out from the vents despite setting of 18C (it was -12C outside). The dash energy graph also did not show the slight consumption when car is...

I noticed the positive terminal of the 12V battery in the Model S appears to have a fuse built into it. Does anyone know what the rating of this fuse is?

Want to see who has good experience carrying 2 kayaks on top of a Model S with all glass roof. I've carried one tandem kayak before with foam pads strapped directly on the roof (open windows) but some sort of Kayak carrier will J hooks will likely be necessary to carry 2. Do we know what type...

So I was driving today (100D, 110k km 2017), and noticed the outdoor temp display was blank. No issues, a reboot of the MCU would fix it. Boy was I wrong. The MCU screen went blank as expected, but it never came back on. The car would still drive, the IC display is on, and I can even connect...

So I parked my model s 100d with 50% remaining at the airport and left for with plans to return in 8 days. I noticed that idle drain is a frightening 6% a day (~5kwh). I usually get about 1-2% a day of drain but that went way up when summon standby is on. If this keeps up, my battery would be at...

Why? Why forced such regression?! Browser on s and x previously can be half screen or full screen, allowing you to keep a web app open while still using the nav. I frequently have Tesla winds or weather radar up. In v10 2019.32.11, it is forced to by 80% screen only. Browser doesn’t seem like it...

My sister's Model 3 was involved in a hit and run accident today. Brampton Ontario Canada. Her car was going straight through a light (yellow) and someone turning left hit her. Told the driver to pull off to the side to exchange info but she took off instead. Dashcam was active but there wasn't...

my circa 2017 June MCU1 AP2.0 100D model S just got the 2019.16 update and it looks like the browser performance has improved. I use Tesla Winds regularly and before this the wind/direction indicator would not refresh at all if I have the map in the background. There is a count down to next...

I am aiming for a whole home back up with 3 Powerwalls. I wanted to hook up all my electrical loads to battery and solar as I should have enough power capacity during a sunny day even if the grid is out. However, I can see situations at night or on a cloudy day that the power walls would be...

I received an Amber Alert last week about a missing girl. I checked my surrounding for a bit didn’t see the suspect’s plate. It was canceled the next morning after she was found dead, killed by her estranged father. It occurred to me that our vehicles have the cameras, computers, and...

Got v9 couple days ago, all in all a worthy update. However, things seemed dumbed down a bit in the name of simplicity. Certain options and controls are no longer available. Here are numerous post about the lack of duel app so I won’t go into that. One minor thing I noticed which can be easily...

I use my browser on a regular basis, today it only showed a blank screen no matter what site I tried to load. Resetting the MCU didn’t help. S100D MCU1 AP2.0 2018.26 Anyone see the same issue?

Folks, is getting hot here again and I remember how hot the 3rd row seats were last year and decided to do something about it. Bought two clip on fans, USB powered with single 18650 Li-Ion cell backup from Amazon. Clips onto the jump seat headrest right in between the seats. USB cable runs...

I have this issue where the AP display on the IC renders the car ahead to the left when the car is far. This started with 2018.10 and continued with 2018.12 on my S100D AP2.0 delivered in June 2017 in Canada On a road with good markings, my IC would render the car ahead too far to the left when...

I experienced this same problem over the last 2 mornings and want to see if anyone else have seen it, and what the solution may be to solve it. I always start my heater about 15 minute before driving off in the morning using the app. In the past 2 days, I noticed that the HVAC would turn on...

I was cleaning my car yesterday and it occurred to me that the other cameras other than the 3 behind the windshield will likely never be consistently used for EAP. This is because there is no provision to keep them clean. We all have seen how the rear camera can become unusable when covered with...

Range anxiety is a concern for new or would be EV drivers. A friend of my though of an idea that could help and it is allowing Tesla to Tesla jump charges. The car already has ability to charge using DC at up to Supercharger rates, so it may be possible to have a direct Tesla to Tesla battery...

i just got a model s100d delivered last week with Rear facing seat option and asked the delivery staff if there was a way to open the trunk from the inside. They said the only way to do it was with he manual emergency release in the centre of the hatch but he advised against using it as it is...

Tesla Model 3 design is “pretty much final,” plus new insights from a batch of high quality photos Just saw that model 3 has a dedicated rain sensor by the front AP cameras. Doesn't bold well for those of us with model S and X now. Don't think auto wipers will ever come for AP2. Do we think...

I have a s100d coming in a month and would like to lease the car to offer some peace of mind regarding residual a few years later in case I want to upgrade. Recently however, the lease rate in Canada jumped to 6%, making it very unattractive. Has anyone found an alternative in terms of leasing...

I had a 2017 March 90D for a few days but had been driving a pre face lift P90D loaner for about a month. Other than the amazing acceleration and more solid AP1, I noticed that the old headlights seems to be a lot better, specially the low beam. They through a brighter, more even beam that cuts...

Not sure if this is already discussed but I recently noticed that I am limited to the actual speed limit in my AP1 loaner which had previously been limited to speed limit plus 10km/h (6 mph) a couple weeks back. I am currently on 8.1(17.16.35) I had my actual AP2 for a few days and thought it...

I used to remember closely following tractor trailer trucks to maximize fuel economy back in the ICE days, and a though occurred to me that with the right software tweaks, our Tesla Model S/X autopilot be can really good at this. It was reported that by closely following a truck, one can save...

I picked up my S90D last Friday and was super happy about it, there was some trim mis-alignment on delivery but nothing serious. Today, I was showing off the car to my brother in-law and noticed something very wrong with the A-Pillar. On the passenger side where it touches the front of the...

The one thing that bugged me the most about the X is how Tesla forces you to choose between a fold flat configuration (5 seater) or 6-7 seats. How come the very logical combination of both is not available? My colleague just had a 5 seater delivered and there is clearly space for the 3rd bench...

Is there an ability for the vehicle to activate the Bio Defense mode automatically? Imagine putting some sort of sensor near the front of the car, or by the air-intake valve. If it detects a certain concentration of noxious odor / pollutant, then it will immediately activate the HEPA filter...
