Tesla is inconsistent in their approach to the products. They build excellent power train but handling is rather mediocre - that unforgetable barge feeling of a classic MS. They can get you to 60 mph in 2 seconds but they don't want you to drive over complicating the controls. They have best UI...

European MS 2016 AP1 facelift here. After v9 was installed couple of weeks ago, the browser and Spotify went on strike. Both things don't work. The TuneIn works with some glitches - sometimes not working for few hours and then come back online. Tesla tried to diagnose the bug remotely and...

Andy, you will get used to this. In the beginning, I had similar concerns about the build quality, numerous glitches and uselessness of the Autopilot. But the pluses won over minuses. Tesla does provide good service and fixes issues without arguing, which helps customers to get over negative...

AP fairytale meets reality. Here in Finland this thing is barely usable for good five months of the year. The reasons being: 1. radar blocked as discussed here, 2. dirt on cameras (salt mixed with bits of tarmac - 80% of cars use studded tires) 3. lane marking are not visible due to said dirt...

Probably, that is the case but, as I mentioned, no noticable changes in consumption.

Final update, it is clearly an unlucky combination of Tesla suspension setup, tires, wheels and very rough tarmac. The solution has been found in reducing tire pressure to the level of 'normal' cars. I used tire pressure recommended for BMW X5 which similarly heavy vehicle and tire sizes not...

IMO, FSD with current HW will never work. Sensors and processing are not adequate for the task. I wonder will we see angry customers sue Tesla when it becomes finally obvious that FSD on Ap2 HW is a myth. I don't remember how much I paid for my AP1 option (pre-October 2016 facelift MS) but it...

Apparently, Model S as a model doesn't like Finnish rough roads. Tried couple of loaners (19 inch and 21 inch wheels) - similar picture even though the vibration in my car seems a bit stronger. My version is that the tire resonates when vibrations from rough asphalt combine with own vibrations...

My gut feeling is that one of the front shock absorbers developed stronger resistance due to some internal issues (some sources say that there is a thing called stiction). Another suspect can be one of numerous rubber bushings but it is less likely because the car is new <5k miles.

Meaning at any speed from 5 mph to 80 mph. Frequency of vibration is increasing with the speed. Amplitude is constant. This is independent on the wheels balance and particular set of the wheels. It looks like suspension doesn't damp small imperfections of the road surface and transmits...

It is not the lane departure warning - turned the thing off on the very first day. Many thanks for the feedback. I hope Tesla will be able to find the cause and solve the issue.

I have an issue on my 2016 facelift MS 90D 19" Michelin PS3. As soon as wheels start turning, I'm starting to feel vibration on the steering wheel, pedals, parts of interior firmly attached to the car body (like central armrest). It can be compared with a mobile phone vibration. The amplitude of...

Many thanks, this is all very interesting! I'm quite often in the UK and understand very well what kind of roads you are talking about. When I first tested Model S it was on ContiSilent 21" tyres. I found the car very quiet on our rough roads. Then before I bought my 90D, I tested a Model S on...

What is your experience driving on notoriously noisy M25 or other rough surfaces? Is it bearable with 21"? PSS still better than PS2? The roads we have back home in Finland are really noisy (very rough surface for better grip in winter) and I find even 19" Michelin PS3 very noisy.

Nice wheels! Have you ever had any issues specific to Norwegian climate? I got my 90D just recently and couldn't have a chance to check how the balance holds in winter. I guess the amount of road dirt in winter is almost the same in Norway and here in Finland. From my previous experience, I...
