    High-pitched harmonic tones from front motor

    I received my delivery of a new Model S Plaid on Wednesday. On the 100-mile trip home, I noticed that I was getting distinct high-frequency tones coming out of the front motor that were clearly a series of increasing fixed-pitch harmonics of some lower fundamental. They were power-related rather...

    Autopilot computer more expensive that you might have thought

    [Shoot! Can't correct the typo in the thread title!] My Autopilot Computer (APC) failed last Wednesday. I lost all GPS and Autopilot functionality, which turns out to affect quite a few things that catch me by surprise: no navigation; no automatic opening of my garage door; no ability to...

    Upgraded charge rates for older Model S

    I was shocked, I tell you, shocked during my most recent Supercharging session at a V3 Supercharger when my 2017 Model S 100D hit 185 kW! Originally, my car was limited to 120 kW, and later updated via software to allow for a maximum of 150 kW when V2 Superchargers were updated to provide that...

    Coat hooks fail to latch closed

    In my recently purchased Model Y, at delivery I had a coat hook that failed to latch in the closed position. Yesterday, the mobile technician came out to replace the assembly. However, the new assembly, which operated correctly prior to installation, no longer did so once installed, and the...

    Sales Advisor's mobile phones taken away

    I just attempted to call my Sales Advisor (SA) on the mobile phone he used to communicate with me for months and got a very odd and confusing automated message from AT&T (my carrier). I called the Showroom, selected sales, and spoke with the SA who answered and mentioned my difficulty in...

    Payment method: Plaid vs direct draft

    For the second time, my vehicle has been matched to a VIN (Tesla damaged the first one). When payment was due for the first match, I pressed on the ADD BANK ACCOUNT AND PAY button and it popped up a window which read, "Tesla uses Plaid to link to your bank account". I read the terms and...

    Is MCU1 stuck at NA-180906-1605 navigation maps?

    From what I see on my car and the forums, it would seem that MCU1 is stuck on old navigation maps with version NA-180906-1605 (June 2018? MCU2 has 2019.6). Does anyone see anything different? If we really are stuck on an old version, it suggests that Tesla is neglecting support of MCU1. This...

    Church Street Church Street

    Whenever navigation has directed me to a street called “Church Street”, the voice direction will read the direction as “Church Street Church Street”, such as “Turn right on Church Street Church Street”. This is not a local problem, as this exact same behavior has occurred in three different...

    Feature idea: weather radar map overlay for maps

    One really cool feature popped into my head this week as I was wondering whether the dark sky towards my destination and sudden increase in wind meant that I would run into a heavy downpour, prompting me to pull out my phone to check. I think it would be awesome if Tesla added an overlay for...

    Podcasts losing current position

    I have found that when I listen to a podcast, the current time position in the podcast is lost when I leave the vehicle and return. Retaining the current listening position seems pretty basic to a podcast player, where you want to continue where you left off. Is this a shortcoming of the media...

    So I've had my brand new custom-ordered Model S since December 16 now. Somehow my car came without all the squeaks and rattles that so many others talk about on this forum with such affection, not to mention any of the other problems, either (e.g. panel gaps, glass-roof gaps, crooked trim, paint...

    Heated seats cycling

    On my drive home from delivery, I tried using the heated seats. As expected, they made my buns and warm, minimizing my need or the heater. However, at least two times during my 90-minute drive heaters cycled off, leaving my without warmth for at least 5 minutes before they recycled back on. The...
