    EAP Maxed Out?

    I can think of many things that should be part of EAP - Smart summon as mentioned by others - Auto park into free super charger slot (Could be an FSD only thing though) - Better auto park detection, I've had it prompt parallel parking when I wait for signals more often than actual parking...

    Software Update 2018.42.x

    Got 42 today morning, update went smooth. I'm not going to comment on the nav on AP yet as I dont get to really use it on commute so its not a big deal for me until I hit a road trip or longer drive. But I'll post some comments on the other stuff/changes here 1 - Splitting UI into three apps is...

    Software Update 2018.39.5 a1c2332 (first 9.0 release)

    Got v9 today. Initial impressions -> It's okay... UI impressions I find the display with several lanes and cars a bit too busy, not sure why a human will need this much feedback on the screen at all times with vehicles appearing, vanishing and darting across constantly. Would prefer to only...

    No loaner cars? Really?

    IMO it is unacceptable, offering a Lyft is not the same as offering a loaner car since you may have multiple things to do on that day and have to actually carry your kids around etc that Lyft is not going to be ideal for. I usually drop off my car in the morning before dropping my family and...

    Rattle noise coming from front Air Suspension (2017-18)

    I've noticed this on my Dec 2016 MS75 RWD coil as well albeit low speeds uneven roads only. When the speed picks up and the road is semi-decent its hard to notice. I've sort of ignored it until now but I think there is more to it based on what I'm reading on this thread. I'll make an SC appt...

    Turo

    I dont know, simple things are tough to keep track of and inspect/monitor. If you are picky about the overall condition of your car, then it wont work if you tend to ignore minor scuffs/scratches, curb rashes, interior marks etc then sure it might work for you. Really depends on the individual...

    Anybody else finding range increased by 2018.26?

    Is this on a 75?

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

    Been a long wait, lets hope it has more than a few "fixes and improvements" and easter eggs.

    Why don't the maps buffer?

    This is supremely annoying and even on LTE sometimes it just takes a bit more time, forget other regions (I drove up north once where there is no data and couldnt use Nav since I had not "pre-entered" destinations I wanted to search). Always remember to either write down the addresses or...

    I was a delivery specialist for many years- Ask Me Anything

    I'm surprised these havent come up yet but here are a few things unique to Tesla 1. How do you deal with the rate at which changes are being made to the car. Folks who are in the forums, know and ask for specific features as the change occured. Do you have an easy way to find out if a certain...

    Tesla gave me a loaner P85D, now I hate my 75D

    Power wise, absolutely, I got a loaner P85D for my uncorked 75 as well and I felt it, really felt it. It was terrific. But the rest of the car sort of left me wanting. I love the center console and find it immensely useful, having a big gaping hole there was a bit annoying. The steering was...

    New logic for “Hold Steering Wheel” nags in 2018.21.9

    I did notice that the "nagging" appeared to be different time intervals but didnt put much thought beyond it, I did feel it was more frequent that before; also the flashing is also only on the top of the screen and not the whole screen. But the biggest change I noticed is that I am able to not...

    Supercharger - Petaluma, CA (EXPANDED Jun 2018, now 20 V2 stalls)

    Worked fine for me over the weekend, construction still appears to be going on but the 8 stalls are operational

    Supercharger - Petaluma, CA (EXPANDED Jun 2018, now 20 V2 stalls)

    Can someone provide an update on this supercharger? Is it usable, how many stalls are really operational and are they close to completion? I'll be quite dependent on this location over the weekend as I have a few back n forths that direction.

    Did Tesla just kill the Model S 75D?

    Quite right

    Masking Sensor Locations for Applying Spray-on Protection

    Well it will be for proximity, but not for the actual EAP driving per se. Those proximity beams you see in yellow and red flashing on the screen during auto pilot are the ultrasonic sensors. I would not expect any "issues" with any coating on these. Usual masking tape should be a straightforward...

    Masking Sensor Locations for Applying Spray-on Protection

    AP is all camera's and none of them are in the body work, riskiest would be the one on the turn signals but even those will probably be taped by the guys who will spray it. The sensors on the bumpers are all only for parking and auto parking.

    So torn... P100D or something else - lease is up.

    I do agree that the P100D doesn't look that attractive now especially at the asking price. But tech wise, its still better than sum of parts. Individual features in some other cars do stand out, birds eye view, seats with more adjustments, text messaging, interior features etc. But when you look...

    Seriously considering S -> 3

    He wont save money, he will lose money. Your advice only applies to someone buying a new Tesla. The question is does it make sense to take the depreciation hit and get the 3 for better range and a smaller/simpler car but lose out on some of the other aspects. Interestingly this thread is...

    Seriously considering S -> 3

    Not quite The LR M3 with AP is around 60k OTD, the S75 in question was around 80k OTD. So 80% of the MS for around 75-80% of the cost.

    Seriously considering S -> 3

    Oh gosh thats a deal breaker for sure, I find the S75 on 19's loud enough as it is and its supposed to be one of the quieter S variants (no dual motor whine, no 21s, no glass roof/sunroof)

    Seriously considering S -> 3

    Running efficiency might be better on the 3 , but charging efficiency is better on the S? So they essentially cancel each other out?
  23. D

    Seriously considering S -> 3

    I am quite curious on your next steps as I am in the exact same situation and like the size, driveability and range of the 3. I would love to have the AWD, but the math is already pretty bad without adding another 5k to the mix. Do keep us posted on the numbers if you dont mind

    Seriously considering S -> 3

    Can someone explain the everyday charging cost bit? Going from an S75 to say the long range 3, how does the charging cost get lower? I am not clear on this

    Light touch, Autopilot nags

    Yes on freeways I do nudge it a bit every now and then. Its become second nature at this point.

    BREAKING NEWS: My Tesla has not crashed due to AP error in __ weeks of ownership

    Well I did crash with EAP but I do take partial responsibility for it having momentarily taken my eyes off the road to look at the screen. EAP did not see merge traffic cones for lane closure which I did not notice ahead of time as there was a large vehicle in front of me. Luckily it was plastic...

    Frequent "Park Assist disabled", now being blamed on OBDII port

    Indeed, it does seem to be more specific to the communication methods used by Metromile although I am not sure why that would "disable" the Park assist as such. Metromile has suggested trying a replacement device just to make sure. I will post updates once I get a new device and test it out

    Frequent "Park Assist disabled", now being blamed on OBDII port

    Ok fortunately or unfortunately they seem to have something here. I did speak to a tech again after picking up the car and he believes the frequencies at which the adapter work are hindering with the checks on one of the sensor modules which ends up disabling it. I did try it with and without...

    New Nav trip planner behavior

    Is there a way to set the charge buffer you want like EVplanner? I think its going to be in an update for sure if there isnt.

    Frequent "Park Assist disabled", now being blamed on OBDII port

    Its almost like they had a cut off date on trying to figure this out and then "ah yes third party accessory is connected lets just give the car back!" Whats next third party phone holders disabling auto-pilot? Maybe they will start blame DU failures on replacement tires!

    Frequent "Park Assist disabled", now being blamed on OBDII port

    This is good to know, I'm going to pick up the car today and give Metromile a call. Honestly I really hope the error shows up as soon as I sit in the car before driving out so I can call them out right then and there.

    Frequent "Park Assist disabled", now being blamed on OBDII port

    It is intermittent but more frequent than not and its annoying as it disables the proximity sensors as well
  33. D

    Frequent "Park Assist disabled", now being blamed on OBDII port

    No its a much bigger problem because it disables the proximity sensors in the front and back and not just auto-park. If it was just auto-park I wouldnt give a darn but the sensors are really critical for me to park in my tight garage.

    Frequent "Park Assist disabled", now being blamed on OBDII port

    I've had Park assist disabled message show up randomly but frequently and have been to service three times for this (car has been with them for a month now) and all times they have claimed to fix it, I found the error to show up even before I drove off the lot! This time they just sent a...

    21” Aracnids vs 19” Slipstreams

    More than the range loss, I'd say the ride is the biggest factor. Some people are picky on ride quality and find it difficult to cope, I had a loaner with 21s and I could notice the ride difference very easily. I'd say try out a test drive car with 21s if you haven't already and compare the ride...

    Yet another yearly service pro/con thread

    Its interesting that it doesnt mention it,I just had my first year service done and DU flush was done as part of it. Maybe its default and they just chose not to mention it explicitly anymore? To the OP, if they are doing the DU flush and if you have not rotated the tires, I'd say go for it. If...

    Issues with auto-folding mirrors during auto-lock?

    This does not happen anymore oddly enough, not sure when or how it got fixed but it does seem to close on auto-lock nowadays.

    Customer Service is Dead

    This is interesting as it was my experience as well. I got a BMW 5 series loaner last time and it was smelly, musty and dirty inside. I took it anyway since I had to get to work asap, but I wasn't exactly pleased with the car and ended up taking it to a car wash later that day. I do think Tesla...

    Charity bets: $100/$1K/$10K -> EAP/FSD feature release by 12/31, 1/31, 3/31

    Can you just give me the 10k now and I'll give it back to you if nothing goes wide on AP by end of Q1 2018 and you can do with it as you please. :)

    Good deal or bad time to buy?

    My Thoughts: AP2.5 in the shop and given an AP1 loaner

    No shadow nothing IMO, its just not there yet and God knows when it will get there. Meanwhile I think the new Audi A8 has surpassed the AP1 abilities with Mobileye. 2018 is going to be the year where the competition catches up and beats Tesla in this space. It will no longer be the cool kid on...

    Why is the fan turning on so often when parked/charging?

    If you dont close all the doors properly the CC system keeps running. If you leave smart pre-conditioning on, it does it once in a while If you have the new "leave AC on" mode turned on, then yes it will keep running (but I think that resets itself everytime)

    Current Owners: If you had to buy again would you still get a Model S over a 3? Why? Confused buyer!

    Once the Model 3 AWD version with max range shows up and all the kinks are ironed out, ASSUMING the S hasn't been refreshed from the ground up by then. Yes I would get the 3. But that is the highest of unlikely possibilities. By the time the 3 becomes readily available and is "ironed out"...

    2017.44 - Whats in it?

    The Easy entry works but its really slow. I wish the steering adjustments were quicker. It takes quite a while for it to boot up and get to my driving position. But it does work and is nice to have. Honestly I'd rather see a major OS revision, browser, better music player, nav improvements over...

    New "Chill / Normal" acceleration modes?

    I got it today on the 75 RWD, its fine, car is a tad smoother to accelerate even if you punch it, I guess for normal commute with passengers, it might be nice to have a more fluid response which is not as "punchy". But tbh, the 75 RWD is not that blitzkrieg in nature compared to the new 75D's so...

    Any Model S owners with an infant / toddler?

    Indeed once they are 2-3 they do quite enjoy the surge. Just don't do it after a full meal :)

    2017.44 - Whats in it?

    Hmm...didnt think it would ever be a thing but it makes sense. It also helps when handing the car to more novice/inexperienced drivers just to be safe. I think its a good move.

    Any Model S owners with an infant / toddler?

    I LOVE the S for toddler duties PROS compared to comparable sized Audi's and my Chevy SPACE (be it the flat floor in the second row or the massive boot which can store ANY stroller you want, it beats them all IMO) Comfort (Its very comfy, practical and easy to use with a baby in the back...
