    Supercharger - San Diego, CA - 3550 Rosecrans St (permit found, 16 V3 stalls)

    If that's the right spot, that's kind of a small lot to take up 16 spots. I'm surprised it wouldn't be in the Target parking lot just west of it, given how many Tesla supercharger sites seem to be paired up with Target locations.

    Intermittent Wiper Failure

    2019 Model S P100D with 2023.44.30.4 software. Intermittent wipers work properly now.

    Perforated Seats in P100D

    I have a 2019 Model S P100D (April 2019 build) with perforated front seats (with cooling).

    Intermittent Wiper Failure

    The two lowest settings are the "intermittent" settings, which means there is a pause between each pass of the wipers. Also, 2019 Model S here with the same problem of both intermittent settings no longer working (first noticed it a month or two ago).

    New Model S build quality

    Tesla history of off-the-line build quality and reliability (meaning components retaining function for a reasonable/sustained period of usage) has been in the range of below average to poor for many years. The Consumer Reports rankings for Tesla had been in the bottom half in the years when I...

    Best USB for audio?

    This is the one I use, for both Tesla purposes (music and dashcam for years) and general daily use (also for years): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7PDLXC I use the 128GB for my vehicle (read speed is around 350MB/sec, write speed is about 60MB/sec) and several other 128GBs for general purpose...

    Tesla is buying back my lemon plaid

    I believe it is 30 days in service, not 30 hours. I also believe it does not need to be for any singular problem, as I was nearly in this situation across multiple problems.

    Supported USB File Types

    This is fairly common when retrieving tag information from an Internet source for the kind of compilation album you are describing. The "Artist" tag will be used to refer to the artist(s) that performed a given track. The "Album Artist" tag will be used to indicate the name of the artist for...

    Supported USB File Types

    I'm surprised the Tesla media player handled the lossless output from iTunes, since I believe that is ALAC and I didn't think the Tesla media player supported that format. If it does, excellent...and all the better for you. That might be the way for you to go...to convert all of your AIFF to...

    Supported USB File Types

    AIFF is another container format, which is very similar to WAV in that it is generally used for uncompressed audio. AIFF has generally been used in the Apple world, whereas WAV has generally been used in the PC/Windows world. What you already ripped to AIFF (which might be uncompressed audio)...

    Supported USB File Types

    I suspect the WAV files do not have any tags in them for information about the content of the file (artist, title, album, genre, etc.), whereas MP3 (and M4A) often have this additional information. The Tesla media player scans all the files for tags, which is how some items end up in "Artists"...

    USB Questions

    This is the USB drive I use (2019 Model S): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7P4SY4/ I also use these as general-purpose file transfer drives on a daily basis (I've owned several over the past few years). The price is good, the drives have decent performance (60MB/s write speeds), and...

    21 inch turbine wheel crack survey

    I have a 2019 Model S P100D with 21" Sonic Carbon Twin Turbine Wheels, about 50k miles. Just had a crack happen (front right wheel) on a pothole. The wheel/tire was exhibiting a slow leak for about a week prior, so I don't know if it already had a small crack that was made larger.

    Overcharging set charge %?

    I have this happen sporadically, and I use a Tesla Wall Connector. I don't think I've ever had it undercharge, but I've had 2-3% overcharge many times, and at different charge targets (80%, 85%, and 90%). It's not often, but maybe once or twice a month, on average (over multiple years).

    Tesla is buying back my lemon plaid

    I almost ran into California Lemon Law limits on a 2017 Model S I had. There are a few different types of criteria. Some of them are for multiple attempts to repair the same fault (I think it is the third attempt for something "potentially life-threatening if it fails" and five attempts for...

    Further discussion and analysis on why the yoke is not good

    There is quite a bit more physics and mechanical engineering in between the steering control device and the wheels. Studying that will indicate why cars have long had round steering devices. (This is not an argument for or against the yoke. It is opposition to specious arguments in the name...

    Home Charging MS on V11, can't set charging amps?

    Since v11, the charge amperage setting has never been retained at my home location (2019 Model S). Prior to v11, this setting remained correct and never required adjustment. This software error (whether a display error or a larger configuration error) has been present in every v11 version I...

    MCU1 Smooth like butter?!?

    I don't think that is correct. I ordered a Model S in March 2017 and it came with MCU1. I believe MCU2 was not standard on all builds until 2018.

    How's V11 on the "Legacy" Model S?

    Count me as your first then (and I doubt I'm alone). 2019 Model S MCU2, which yellowed in the first 6 months. I run it in dark mode, so it's generally not visible. I haven't tried to get it fixed.

    V11 and climate menu: just as simple as a swipe up

    Yes, I realized later it was meant that, if the fan-based cabin climate control is off, accessing it (via swipe or pressing on the temperature) turns on the climate control. I initially misunderstood the statement to be that the climate settings changed when accessing the climate panel. I can...

    V11 and climate menu: just as simple as a swipe up

    Curious, I haven't had that problem accessing the climate settings via the up-swipe or by pressing on the temperature number. A/C has never been activated just by accessing the climate panel, and I can control the seat settings without anything else changing. Perhaps a reboot is in order?

    New UI for pre-refreshed model S? Holiday update

    I haven't tried USB resume yet. USB content does not show up in search. I found something else that doesn't properly work. The current limit for charging does not retain its setting based on location anymore. Now I have to set it every time I charge my car at home, since it defaults to the...

    New UI for pre-refreshed model S? Holiday update

    I received this update today (2019 P100D MCU2). A few things I noticed (which I do not like): - There is more "empty" space at the top of the screen, at least in the configuration I typically use. I have the Media Player on the bottom and the Rear Camera on top. In this configuration...

    Question about 2019 Model S....A 2019 that is a P100D?

    Tesla transitioned in 2019 from the previous labeling/badging (such as "P100D") to the "Raven" platform with labeling of "Long Range" and "Performance." It is possible to have a P100D built in 2019, as I have one built in April 2019. I believe the transition happened around June/July (for new...

    TeslaTags (MP3/FLAC Retagger for Windows)

    If you're talking about running a program in Windows, the ability for it to access an external drive is dependent on Windows being able to acces the drive, not the specific program. MP3/FLAC tagging software will be able to open files on any drive that Windows can "see", and exFAT devices...

    Complete blackout - both displays at highway speed

    I don't know why you were "disagreed" with on this. Your experience is similar to mine (April 2019 Model S). I've had the "blackout" happen maybe 10 times in the past year (happened today on a 10-mile drive), and I also noticed that at least the turn signals don't seem to work. I didn't try...

    Screens go dead

    I'm dubious of their hypothesis. I'm not sure if I've ever opened the User Manual in my vehicle, and certainly not anytime in the past year when I've had these unexpected reboots. Nearly all of mine happen when driving (in motion) and not interacting with any part of the UI.

    Both screens went out …

    We've also been discussing it here: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/screens-go-dead.230707 It happens to me maybe once every 4-8 weeks (April 2019 build, MCU2 HW3).

    USB music showing up in search for ANYONE????

    Music search still does not include USB matches for me. Given the problems with USB music use in general, I've since switched to storing my music collection on microSD and playing it via Bluetooth from my phone. This allows me to have a more versatile player interface by using the phone app of...

    Complete blackout - both displays at highway speed

    Had this happen two (more) times in the past week. Makes me wonder if there is a recent fault that has been introduced in the software, or if this indicates a larger hardware degradation problem.

    USB music showing up in search for ANYONE????

    USB being excluded from search happened sometime in the past 6 months or so, I don't quite remember exactly when, but it was when they "improved" the search (and search results) functionality. Album art for USB MP3s has been broken for roughly the same time span. I've not found a way around...

    USB music not resuming since MCU2/AP3 upgrade

    Yes, that should also work. I've opened the passenger door first to load things, then closed it and went to enter on the driver side and it resumed playback. Once you see the "mechanism" by which it works, you can play around with it.

    Complete blackout - both displays at highway speed

    I've had this happen twice in the past 3 months (April 2019 build, MCU2 HW3). Hadn't happened at all prior to that when I purchased the vehicle (June 2019). I had it happen a few times with the previous Model S I owned (March 2017 build, MCU1).

    USB music not resuming since MCU2/AP3 upgrade

    There is a workaround, since the player does retain file and position of playback, it just does not resume it the first time you get into the car. If you trigger the car to believe you are "entering" again, it will resume (there may be a delay if it is indexing the USB device). This can be...

    Disparity Between kWh Used and Percent Used

    With a 100 kWh battery, not all of that battery capacity is available for "end-user" usage. The full 0% to 100% range will probably amount to something more like 90-95 kWh (give or take a few kWh). I don't know if anyone has done full analysis on usable capacity with the Raven models, but I...

    Blog Model S is First EPA-Rated EV to Hit 400 Miles of Range

    Throttled SC, is that still a thing

    The Michelson Drive Supercharger in Irvine is an "urban" style supercharger that has a maximum charge rate of 72 kW, but each charging vehicle is independent (you will not be "sharing" with a paired vehicle, as is the case with the non-urban style superchargers). Find Us | Tesla

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA - Friars Road (Mission Valley, LIVE 31 Jan 2019, 24 Urban + 24 V3 stalls)

    Fashion Valley has "urban" style Superchargers that have a dedicated 72kW per unit, so they are not shared like other types of Superchargers. Leaving stalls open will have no bearing on the actively charging spots, and you won't achieve a higher charging rate than 72kW.
