I've done without an FM tuner for a couple of years following my MCU2 upgrade that disabled access to my original tuner. I'll now throw for the replacement IF it has HD-radio capability, but I want to make sure it does before scheduling the service. If not, I'll continue to rely on Tune-In. I...

For several weeks, I’ve been getting texts from the 312 area code, “Tesla has been offline for 30 minutes.” Sometimes they come about every 72 minutes, and at other times it’s about every 2 hours, 4 minutes. This happens when the car is in my garage and connected to WiFi at all times. I recently...

Is it known whether the refreshed S has the octovalve heat pump like the Y or the old 2012-version resistance cabin heater?

After my recent MCU2 upgrade re-pairing my iPhone via Bluetooth was easy, and all the BT functions work perfectly. However, the car will no longer connect to the phone automatically when I enter the car as it did every time for the last three years. Repeating the pairing is not necessary, but I...

I have a couple of thumb drives full of MP3 and some FLAC files that I’ve used for about a year in my S75D. There’s never been the slightest problem. Now, neither is recognized in either front USB port. I’ve rebooted the MCU to no avail. My software version is 2020.12.5, but I’m not sure when...

My 2017 S75D has AP2 and MCU1. I have paid for HW3, but have not received the new FSD computer. My iPhone app is the latest version available. I've received 2019.32.11 and 2019.32.11.1. However, Enhanced Summon and the window "vent" feature have not been included. "Summon" is enabled but...

My car is a 2017 75D with AP2. This problem has been getting progressively worse for the last year, through many upgrades. Right after each upgrade, when engaging Autosteer on the freeway, the car will center itself pretty well until the freeway goes into a long sweeping left curve. In that...

I just got 2019.16.2, and I'm dismayed to see that both of its important new safety features are nowhere to be found. Lane Departure Avoidance and Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance were announced for this update. I know that they were included in some cars during the 16. 16.1, and/or 16.1.1...

My AP2 S75D is on 2019.12.1.1. After pulling out of the garage at home today, I noticed that 2019.16.2 had downloaded about 45%. I assumed that it would resume when I got back on Wi-Fi, and it did. It downloaded about another 5-10% and then stopped completely. I verified that home Wi-Fi was...

I've recently read that Model 3 heaters capture heat from multiple sources, most importantly, the inverter, which I believe produce a good deal of heat. Does the Model S have this advantage? Do either of them use the AC as a heat pump for heating?

In the comments of a Transport Evolved YouTube video, one viewer mentioned that his experience driving some sort of utility device with a "retarder" leads him to believe that regenerative braking could put an EV into a skid or spin if it engages on ice. I am skeptical because i don't believe...

There should be a way to have fan speed regulated automatically with AC turned off. It's possible to do that in the S and X with Software 8, 8.1, and 9, but I cannot discover a way to do it in the Model 3. Just for clarification, in order to extend range, I'd like to be able to manually turn AC...

If one has AC on and then wants to turn it off and control temps merely with ventilation, it's easy to do -- just tap on the "AC" button and, if necessary, turn off "recirculate" the same way. The trouble in Version 9 is that when you do that, the fan is now running at whatever speed it was...

I ordered and took delivery of my MS before the 6/26/2018 change in the price for the future (post-delivery) FSD upgrade. Since then, it has been widely reported that owners who ordered prior to 6/26/2018 would still be allowed to purchase that OTA upgrade for the price they were promised at...

Both of my garage doors have worked perfectly for 9 years with their own remotes and the built-in Homelink transmitter in my old Accord. They even work fairly well with the transmitter in my 17 MS when activated manually. However, when trying to use the automatic feature, setting it for any...

I've often read about some problems with Tesla paint when the company was new, but I thought I'd more-recently read that these problems had been corrected. Then, I took my brand new MS to the detailer who is the only installer for Suntek and Opti-Coat in my area, and he told me that Teslas...

The autodimming functionality on my new MS is the worst of any car I've owned since this technology became available. To make matters laughably worse, its frame (or the periphery of the mirror) is highly reflective so that very bright flashes of reflected light are frequently stabbing me in the...

Does paying the $3,000 for FSD enable extra hardware useful to AP2? Does AP2 function better if FSD had been paid for? I elected to keep the money for autonomous driving in my pocket at the time I placed my order, figuring that it would probably be at least 3 years before the legislation was in...

I took delivery June 30, and there was a new software update installed that night. I think it was 17.26.17. Eight days later, I was notified of another one. 17.26.76 installed last night, and I believe the release notes are unchanged (no longer have easy access to the previous notes for...

My Model S is brand new. The first time I tried to use Auto Lane Change, she started to move into an occupied lane. My hands were on the wheel, so no disaster occurred, but I was shocked. I presumed that the AP-2 hardware and software would assure that there was no car adjacent to mine or...

My model S is on order, but I've been considering interior shades for the windshield and roof. Tesla now calls the roof options "glass roof" and "sunroof." The word, "Panoramic," is no longer to be seen. Is one of these current choices identical to what they used to call the "Panoramic roof?" If...
