I'm looking into replacing my 2014 (Nov 2013 build date) P85 with a 2020 LR+. I found one locally that has a build date of Nov 2020 with 44K miles, and got them to send me a photo of the battery status. It's showing 46% and 168 miles, which works out to ~365 miles fully charged. That's just...

I've been using Tidal at home as my preferred streaming service for several years now... and I pretty much agree. The Tesla app needs a lot of work both in UI ease of use, and technical issues. Spotify's interface is far better. Tidal works fine for me on my PC (or Mac) via web browser or the...

After trying the Tesla Tidal app for a few weeks, it's been rough. I get patches where I have dropouts on LTE, or it just flat out won't play. Really frustrating. I'm not in a dead area for cell reception. The LTE signal strength may drop to 2-3 at times but mostly it's above that. The app...

I've been a Tidal subscriber for several years, using the app on my home high end stereo rig. It's basically replaced buying CDs or Hi-res tracks. Very excited that it's now available as an additional streaming source in Tesla's native interface. Have mostly used it via the MacOS app, connected...

Penfed.org. Pentagon Fed CU. You just need to know or find a serviceperson or vet to refer and join. Currently has 1.39% for 36 months, 2.14% for 60 months.

Bumping this older thread. My Slacker favorites have been disappearing for a while now. Not sure exactly when but I got my 2014 P85 in May '16 and the problem has been around in some form since I started really using the Slacker capability a few months later. Lately, the problem is only getting...

Amazon has added a skill to Alexa for Slacker Radio. I quickly added it and connected my premium account. Nice! However, I have several custom stations on Slacker and so far Alexa isn't recognizing those when I try to play one. :(

I had my S P85 wrapped recently in purple (KPMF Gloss Purple Black Iridescent) with matte black chrome delete, a moderate window tint and dip on the wheels to go black there too. I love the purple & black combination. Perhaps a bit ironically I did this because the original blue is dark enough...

As I posted later, this has nothing to do with the issue I had, it was a basic password issue (which probably should have been caught by initial triage from support).

The Louisiana DMV page still shows up to $2500 tax credit for an EV, and Tesla's page still shows it. There was apparently a bill introduced in 2017 to expire the credit on Dec 31 2017, but I found the following which looks like it still maintains up to $2500 credit for an EV. It shows in the...

Appreciate the updates, @MDMGSO47.

Is this site likely to be up and running by 4 weeks from now, i.e. Nov 17? How long does construction/installation etc usually take?

Yeah I realize that it's doable with a full charge. I just hate the idea of having to spend the extra ~30 min for the regressive charge rate to get from 80% to 100%, especially on a drive that's going to be a bit long already.

I'm going to be driving west from Raleigh to Knoxville on Nov 17,, and the stretch on I-40 between SCs in Burlington and Asheville is a big concern. Looks like Greensboro might be up by then, since it's showing as being a week into construction. Wish Hickory could be there but I'm guessing...

Hey all... I'm from Baton Rouge but live in Raleigh NC these days. Though of course you can tell from my avatar where my loyalties lie. :) I'm planning my first big road trip in November to go see LSU - Tennessee the Saturday before Thanksgiving, wind over & down through Nashville & Birmingham...

Having recently gone through a good bit of trouble figuring out how to customize Slacker I can sympathize. My suggestion would be to get the car Slacker account credentials from your service center. Log in to Slacker on your web browser and go to the My Music tab. Look for the "Stations and...

@Traveler1600 , the password seems to be limited to alphanumeric characters. I got the email & password for the Tesla account for my car from my local service center, and that password had only a-z, 0-9. Definitely change your password if that's not the case for yours. There might be other...

Ah... it took me a bit to understand this but I got it. In the Tesla Streaming tab, search for an artist/song. Favorite that. Then I can login to the website and that station shows up - but not in the "Custom Stations" area, in the "Stations and Specials" area. But that does add it to the list...

Bump an old thread. I recently set up a Slacker Plus account (and after much trouble, got logged in), and created and customized several stations via the web browser interface. However, I can't see any of the "My Music" items, specifically the custom stations, in the Tesla app. I found a...

FINALLY got a solution. My password had a special character in it (plus sign), which apparently isn't allowed. Doh. However, now that I can login I'm very disappointed to see that my custom stations that I spent time creating and adjusting, don't show up. I don't see any mention in the manual...

I should see that CR report soon, but haven't yet. I think the overall interface is pretty good in Tesla, there are just some specific issues. It's probably a combination of having so much more screen real estate and the competitors being even less good. But I do worry that this kind of thing...

Firmware update 2017.34 2448cfc was installed this afternoon. Not sure if this is intended to fix the Slacker issues that others are having, but it did not have any effect on my login problem.

I was persistent and talked to Tech Support again. They told me that a basic level Slacker account won't work. So I upgraded to the Plus @ 3.99/mo. That was 5 hours ago. Still can't login, and it still fails immediately. Something is off, seems like a reset of some kind is needed internal to my...

I called in to the Tech Support line just now and after choosing option 2 (1 = roadside assistance, 2 = everything else) it immediately played an announcement that they are aware of an intermittent issue with internet based radio services including Slacker and working on a resolution. I can't...

I haven't actually noticed any problems playing Streaming stations with default setup, just can't login to my Slacker account. Tesla rep told me Friday afternoon they would try to reset something from their side within 48 hours. Not sure if Sat/Sun count though.

I noticed that today while looking for something else, and it was already checked to avoid tolls. Not sure how long this option has existed and if I might have seen it in May when first setting up my car. But if it just came out in the last few weeks apparently the default is to avoid tolls...

I've searched here and called Tesla but so far I don't have a solution. I created a Slacker account on their website last weekend. Not premium, just a basic account at the moment. Since then I've tried all week to login on the Streaming tab to my Slacker account in the Model S but after I enter...

Congrats, EL! While I can't compare to the Panamera I can relate to the "waiting for a truck for your Tesla" (albeit mine was a CPO). That's one of the few minor downsides to a lower volume vehicle but at least it's only a one time deal.

@Seetwobyte , congrats on finding your CPO! Hope everything goes smoothly with your delivery. I know the feeling about the wait - yours at least will be less than mine was.

Hi @Seetwobyte, I went through the CPO process earlier this year (contacted CPO rep in mid Mar, deposit placed in late Mar and took delivery May 10). The CPO reps have access to a lot of inventory which isn't going to show up on the website so they can really target a specific profile for you...

@Vern Padgett - it depends a bit on what you're trying to do. #3 isn't an option unless you are talking about an iPod Touch with Bluetooth. For convenience that is ok, but the BT connection limits the sound quality which contradicts the topic of this thread ("CD quality sound"). 1) and 2) are...

Here's another question about rush hour traffic: if you're driving yourself it's a one way trip and then the car is off the road. If you're using a TAAS model, does that actually put more traffic on the road? So a one way trip turns into that trip plus the car getting to you and then going...

Bumping an old thread - I'm looking for the same thing. Doesn't look like any option to do this has been added as far as I can tell from the user manual, searching here, and just experimenting on the touchscreen.

We have Chrome at work but everything is locked down very tightly, so I can't install Adblock or other extensions. (I checked.) I tried reloading several times and haven't seen a recurrence so far, though. Unfortunately I didn't grab any details from the initial warning page.

Ha, so that part I personally have figured out if it ever comes about. I'd turn mine into a dedicated home theater room and give my lovely wife our living room back. (Currently has a pole mounted projector, motorized screen and various gear including 2 fairly large Hsu Research subwoofers she'd...

This wasn't an ad, it was a complete page from my company's network security software. But I guess it could have been triggered by something external to TMC.

The part I never see addressed in articles like this is the fact that the 4% usage rate (or whatever it is) pretty much occurs at the same time of the day for most people. Doesn't matter if my car is available for 14 out of 16 hours during the day if I need it twice during rush hour, and so does...

I just navigated to the TMC home page from my workplace, and after a minute or so it sent me to a page saying that a malware had been detected and the file that attempted to download was blocked. Not sure if this could be a false positive but figure it's best to provide info. I was able to go...

Update - SC replaced the front door control unit (from the service invoice: "Fault scan found 19 faults in drivers front door control unit. Determined to replace this module.") and says they performed 30 function tests with no failure. So hopefully this is it. But this is the 2nd issue I've...

So I took my MS in to the SC last week, and they did the mirror assembly replacement. It didn't take long before I saw it malfunction again, and I can reproduce it about 20-25% of the time when going from R to D. It's back at the SC this morning where I demonstrated to the SC manager, again...

Is that a file for use with a 3D printer?

I usually put my sunglasses on the driver's head, which is a conveniently out of the way location that won't usually allow the glasses to slip out under acceleration or result in mishaps when grabbing the door pocket/handle. (Someone had to say it.. :p )

I don't think that's an accurate reading of that chart. There are some clear monthly peaks for BMW & Daimler, near year end. Comparing November to November is more accurate. Nov 13 is the highest peak in that timeframe for Daimler so it's not accurate to compare that peak to a month which is...

(Apologies if this issue has been discussed elsewhere; I searched a couple of times but couldn't find it.) I've had my 2014 CPO MS for just under 4 weeks. A couple of weeks ago I started noticing that after going from Reverse to Drive, the side mirror on the driver side does not always return...

I haven't used CDs in a car in about 12 years, since I picked up a 160GB iPod Classic. I've got a bigger collection than most (probably > 2500 titles then, 3500 now) so even at 192k MP3 that didn't come close to holding it all. I took a hint from elsewhere on the forum and picked up a portable...

I've only had 3 cars in 35 years prior to my MS. 1982 Nissan Sentra, 1991 Nissan 240SX (the only truly "fun" car before my MS), 2002 Honda Accord (bought CPO in 2005) and now a 2014 MS P85 (bought CPO last week). I looked briefly at hybrids in 2005 but the Prius and Insight just weren't ready...

@Logan5 , I had previously seen mention of Tesla Tunes and put that in the notes I'm keeping about audio/music. I have both Win 10 and OS X boxes so I'm pretty flexible in what I can use. (In fact I keep a separate version of my iTunes library on both, in part b/c the Mac is a Mini which...

Uh... wow. $3500 just for the HRA player isn't going to be part of my plan, sorry. I will be pushing it just to get $5K approved by "the boss" for an upgrade after what I'm spending on the Model S, which is waaay over my original budget. (Last vehicle was an '02 Accord bought CPO similar to this...

@Boatguy - thanks! Very helpful. I'll look for BertL's posts. I'd previously seen the suggestion about using an SSD drive and forgotten about it, but that definitely sounds like the way to go so I'll look at options there. Obviously there are lots of portable drives which draw power over USB...

@RichardD, thanks I'll take a look at those later tonight. @GaryREM I need to look into what you mentioned about syncing iTunes with USB drive. Did you create a new library to be on the USB drive? Or something else? I can't just copy the Music folder over as it's waaay bigger than the USB...
