    Model 2017 takes a while to wake up in the morning

    Our 2017 P100D S has recently had this problem twice. I didn't wait for 3 minutes but instead did a reboot. It seems the car is going into deep sleep after sitting a few days.

    Supercharger - Chowchilla, CA (LIVE 27 Apr 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    I didn't take a picture but it looks like the PG&E service has been installed. I'm guessing they are just waiting for final inspection at this point. I hope it opens soon as I live 1 1/2 miles away and have free lifetime SuperCharging.

    FSD Beta testing open to all with next update?

    I didn't even request Bread with my button! Maybe if I had the FSD recipe, I could get the button. Seinfeld, right?

    XM/FM Radio with MCU 2 Upgrade

    I'm guessing you got this resolved with a software modification. Sorry I just saw your message.

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    Just so everyone knows, if your car was under warranty when your emmc died you will get no reimbursement. Mine was dead and I opted to pay for the MCU 2 upgrade. Apparently if I would have waited 2 more months for the warranty to expire, I would have received some reimbursement. But as usual...

    Steering pull after half shaft replacement.

    Apparently, the SC did not do the alignment correctly. So that only took the better part of a week....

    Steering pull after half shaft replacement.

    Has anyone had this problem on a MS P100D? After many complaints about increasing vibrations under acceleration, I finally got the SC to replace the front half shafts. My tires had 35k so I opted to have them changed at the same visit and the vehicle aligned. I reviewed the post alignment...

    P245 50 19 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON RUN FLAT

    Yea, I just got them. They are very stiff sidewalls. I just couldn't resist the deal. Brand new shipped for $500 total (including the great state of CA high taxes). The only thing is they are 2017 manufacture date. In perfect new condition, I'm sure they were in a warehouse somewhere not...

    P245 50 19 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON RUN FLAT

    Where exactly do they rub? On the inside fender well covers or on the fender metal?

    P245 50 19 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON RUN FLAT

    Do the rub when turning or when turning and running over bumps?

    P245 50 19 PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON RUN FLAT

    Has anyone installed a 245 50 19 on a MS? They are 1" taller and I want to make sure they will not rub. I can get a smoking deal on these right now. Thanks, BD

    XM/FM Radio with MCU 2 Upgrade

    Bob, It's well worth the wait. But as Tesla owners, we want our stuff yesterday! Another benefit is the 5GHz wifi. My MCU 1 would always disconnect from wifi and sometimes wouldn't even see the access point (about 10ft away). The dashcam/sentry viewer is pretty cool too.

    MS Seat Cooler Issue

    That's what I figured. I waited for the new SW but same problem. I figured it was a pinout problem on a connector. I guess the tech guys at my SC are just "pull and replace" and not so much tech.

    XM/FM Radio with MCU 2 Upgrade

    Got my MCU2 and FM/XM radio upgrade done on 11/19. All that I can say is WOW, what a difference. Was it worth the $3k price tag? I guess it depends on your financial situation. I don't have $$ coming out my ass, but I can afford it and pay my CC of in 2-3 months. So for me, I would say a...

    MS Seat Cooler Issue

    So I had my drivers seat replaced under warranty. When I got the car back it appeared the seat cooler did not work. After messing with it, I found that when it was set to high, it was on low, when set to low it was on high. The service center says they have to order another seat. Any one...

    Bio Defense Hepa filter dimensions

    Does anyone have the dimensions of the bio defense hepa filter on a MS? I need just the filter dimensions and not the carrier/frame. Length, Width, Height please.

    XM/FM Radio with MCU 2 Upgrade

    Unfortunately, the radio station I listen to the most is not on Tunein. I tried using my cell phone but that is a pain. I talked to the service center about updating the software if I did a self install as mentioned here "However, MCU2 does not provision the new tuner unless you enable it in...

    Wall Connector Issue - Help!

    Try recycling the breaker to the wall charger. My first HCWC died within 6 months (no lights at all). Tesla gave me a little grief as they wanted proof a certified electrician installed it, so beware. They did replace it but I had to do the install. Good luck.

    XM/FM Radio with MCU 2 Upgrade

    Maybe I'm just an old guy but I'm not ready to part with my XM/FM (even AM for sports) radio. Would anyone else be interested in campaigning for an option to upgrade the tuner at the time of MCU 2 upgrade? I know it can be done and I would be willing to pay up to an additional $1k to keep...

    Mobile Ranger here, ask me (almost) anything!

    So recently my driver seat is making a grinding noise when it transitions from easy entry to driver mode. It's about the first 1/2 of the travel where it makes this noise. Never done it before. The car was just in for service last month. Do they lube the seat mechanisms on the 2 year...

    Software Update 2018.39.5 a1c2332 (first 9.0 release)

    Does anyone know if these software updates get updated as one software chunk or does it come incrementally? I've noticed a lot of activity on my vehicle, but it's like 7MBs here and 18 there. I'm guessing it should just be like one 500MB or so of data activity.

    Software Update 2018.39.5 a1c2332 (first 9.0 release)

    Lets just have a stiff drink and wait. I can get a copy of any software immediately, almost any product from Amazon in 2 days or less, but the Elon store moves a little slower. I wish I would have known before buying this vehicle that every time a new feature is introduced would cause me more...

    Software Update 2018.39.5 a1c2332 (first 9.0 release)

    Probably. Gotta love those government "fees." I live in a small town in central California and my friends tease me about my car costing more than their house! But for my friend down under, I will concede my update to you. Cheers mate!

    Software Update 2018.39.5 a1c2332 (first 9.0 release)

    I have a AP 2.0 car. I think we should start a movement. We purchased our cars first, we should get the updates first as they have been using our money all this time, you know, time value of money. No offence AP 1 drivers, but our EAP and FSD premiums warrant some love.

    Does the car have to be rooted prior to uploading via your method?

    Early Access Program (overflow from 2018.39 4a3910f thread)

    Agreed. I would also sign a release of liability to be able to "Alpha" test some of the new EAP features. Much like we do with MS except the only casualty in that case is our data without said agreement.

    Early Access Program (overflow from 2018.39 4a3910f thread)

    Yea I'm a Fast Preview release ring for Windows 10. It's cool getting the new features,only to have some pulled back in the next release. I've also had to re-install my OS several times..... Sound familiar? Reminds me, time to back up my computer. BD

    Firmware 9 in August will start rolling out full self-driving features!!!

    Elon will enable L5 next month. It will require that you keep slight resistance on the wheel at all times and in the direction of the upcoming curves as well as slight pressure on the brakes when stopping and accelerator when starting. Other than that, completely "anonymous" driving. BD

    Firmware 9 in August will start rolling out full self-driving features!!!

    I grew up in Santa Cruz and commuted to San Jose for years. IMHO, if autopilot can handle CA-17, it is awesome. That road is like the old video game Night Driver. At least you didn't say autopilot fails on Heckar Pass. Do us all a favor and beta test AP on that road....;) BD

    Duel HPWC 80amp wire size to sub panel?

    I used 3 gauge on mine and it BARELY fits in the HPWC connectors. I had to run through a couple of 90 degree bends and that stuff is tough to work with. It is also very difficult to maneuver within the HPWC housing. Good luck, have fun! BD

    Defeating the Autopilot Nag

    Here is my solution to the nag. I only use it on extended trips. It is a 1.5lb ankle weight. You can get them on amazon for $16.89. Or, I can paint a T on them for $169.89. Here's the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M5JSP6P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I used a...

    Range or Percentage...a Simple Poll

    See, math in public. Blew my mind man......

    Range or Percentage...a Simple Poll

    Yes but using your method you have to calculate the percentage back to miles or kilometers or Elon steps or whatever. I learned a long time ago, never do math in public. BD

    Range or Percentage...a Simple Poll

    Range for sure. I commute 265mi and I need to know if I'll get there. 99% of the time I can there in my P100D, but sometimes (cold Wx, headwinds) I cannot. BD
