I previously had a BMW i3 and got a JuiceBox EVSE for home charging. I've been using the same charger for my S with the J1772 adapter, but would like to use just a plug. We have two cars in the garage and the adapter + J1772 creates a tight space for the other car to pass when my car is...

Any updates on the tires? Needing to replace mine shortly and these still show at the top of the rankings on Tire Rack.

Those are the original tires I have now. I've been fine with them, but a little disappointed that they won't make it to 27k. I've been able to put close to 30k or more on other cars, with the exception being my i3 that also needed replacement at 27k. Maybe my expectations are too high...

I'm looking at replacing the 19" tires on my S75. I've seen a lot of comments leaning towards Michelin, Pirelli, and Continental. Has anyone tried General G-MAX AS-05? They're running about $40 cheaper than those three and wanted to see if anyone has experience with them...

Does it work for inductive charging? Current X case is starting to show wear, so looking for a replacement.

I’d say go 3 or 4. With Remote S + cellular, you’d have a lot of control over the car, even without the iPhone nearby.

Hair dryer and patience

Many of us communicated with Tesla about our displeasure with the changes, as well as posting on TMC. Point of these boards is to allow for users to interact and share experiences. If Tesla uses these as reference points as well, great. I don't think those of us that have posted concerns here...

Where did you hear that from? Original reported user (one who posted the screen shot) has AP1 with the original MCU.

Also thought that the point release would've meant 9.1 so I didn't expect to see it anytime soon. Poster on FB is pretty reliable, but is the only mention I'd seen so far, which is why I wanted to pose the question to a larger audience.

A couple Facebook groups based in Las Vegas.

Heard a report that 2018.42 allows for the camera to be pinned to the top? Anyone received the version can confirm?

What's the effective ranges on the 3-coil? It looked like there were a lot of size concerns, so I found a 2-coil that supposedly has a 10mm range. When I tested it out in the console with my iPhone X (with case), it wouldn't hold a steady charge.

Very much agree with @kavyboy and @trm2 about the disconnect between developers and end-users. Worked on a UI overhaul with a UX company that kept stating the focus needs to be on the 80% of functionality that 80% of users interact with the most: essentially, focus where people will use it...

I'd like to understand why they made the design decision, beyond just unifying the UI with M3. There could be EAP/FSD resource reasons or maybe it's a compromise to get 360 on the IC that required borrowing CPU power elsewhere. Sounds like there was similar reaction from v7 to v8 with some of...

Signed up with Tesla for solar at the beginning of the month and, according to mysolarcity, we'll be getting a call for the install soon. Out of the blue today, I got cold-called by the Solar Tax Association (Solar Tax Association, LLC) and the caller said there's additional rebates above and...

I'm looking at adding solar to my house and curious how much I should read into the price/watt differences in the estimates. I've had a couple calls with Tesla and we're discussing a ~7.5kW system and 2 quotes over email for 12.2kW and 13.9kW systems. The emailed quotes come in at $3/watt; Tesla...

Over the weekend, I had to do a 1-day, long range round trip from Orange, CA to Henderson, NV. I've done the trip enough times (both in MS and other cars) to know how navigation is going to send me once getting into NV, which, for both inbound and outbound, avoids the strip entirely. For this...

A media widget would be excellent. I typically run the camera and navigation on the MCU and either have to use the steering wheel controls or switch apps to make a "significant" change to media. I think the screen is large enough that another ribbon the size of the fixed lower buttons could be...

In the last week, I'm having trouble with the audio from phone calls not being patched through. I'm able to play other things from the phone through the car, but I have to switch to speaker for calls. Last worked on Sunday and I'm not aware of any updates between then and yesterday when it was...

No data, all anecdotal, but I didn’t see an appreciable change due to chill mode, which would make sense depending on how you drive. Chill only changes the acceleration curve; the amount of energy for the car to go 60mph is the same regardless of mode. I had it enabled for a few weeks, but...

Was keeping it in the bag until I considered changing it within the last week or so. Had an i3 before, so the JuiceBox I already have for charging always requires the adapter. May give the cup holder a try; pretty much as convenient and use that storage less than the under-screen compartment.

Adding another tangent: has anyone considered putting an inductive charger there instead of the lighting cable? I’m on a 7 now, will go to a 8 or X soon and thought about having the induction charger replace the wired connection.

I was reading a tips and tricks post for the MS and there was a note in there that the glove box has a place to secure the J1772 adapter. It said that it could be secured in the front left of the glove box, but I didn’t see/feel anything that seemed to do the job. So, first question is if there...

I bought a small extender from amazon that allows enough clearance for the case.

I started the car around 5:15 and 7 pm, so the nightly energy saver shouldn’t have kicked in. Googled the mode and see similar comments, so I’m curious how it slipped into it. I’ll have to see what it does in the morning; give the reboots a shot of it’s still problematic.

Thanks. Reboot got the car to start up immediately; audio was still a no-go.

I went to startup my S this evening and had a couple things happen. First, had a notification on the driver’s screen that the car was powering up. I’ve never seen that before and it took a minute or so for it to disappear and the car to go. Once started, I had no audio at all: FM, streaming...

Two for navigation: Specify whether to use toll roads Prefer HOV lanes Camera - when shifting to reverse, if the camera is already enabled, automatically switch to full screen for the parking sensor display

It's a NEMA 14-50. Thanks for the advice. I'll limit the amps further and get it chcecked out.

It's a NEMA outlet. First I did EVSE with the J1772 adapter. Then, I unplugged the EVSE and tried the UMC with the NEMA adapter.

Hello! Took ownership of my S75 last week and a bit confused on the max amperage available when charging. I have an EVSE that I've been using for the last two and half years while I leased an i3. The panel says that the outlet allows 30A, so I had limited what the EVSE could pull (BMW didn't...
