I have a June '17 Model S. It's supposed to have lifetime premium connectivity. Normally the car is automatically logged into Tesla's default TuneIn account. However, recently it's no longer logged in. I can no longer access channels such as CNN. Does the default account expire? I understand...

I just spoke to Tesla insurance. They said if I don't add my wife to the policy, they may not honor a claim if she drives the car and gets into an accident. However, they can't tell me how the rate would be impacted when a second person is added to the policy. In other words, there's no way to...

Does anyone know what happens if you have two Teslas in the family, and you need coverage for both you and your spouse? I only have 1 Tesla account, and the insurance page only provides quotes based on the person on the account. I read about the part that you can call them afterwards to add the...

I run a Toyota themed business, and I keep this tool in each of my Teslas: https://www.cityracerllc.com/products/oem-toyota-rescueman-tool One end acts as a hammer to help you break the glass. The other hand let's you cut the seat belt if necessary. It's extremely compact at less than 8 inches...

Has anyone bought either Model S or Model X wheels from them? Comparing their wheel specs against T Sportline, their wheels are non-staggered and closer to stock width.

I think you need to tell them the honest truth that burning coal is not a pro, just as smoking cigarettes is not a pro.

My experience is that "rich jerks" types are more apparent in the Porsche forums. Owners are typically not the hands-on types. Many come to the forums to pose problems, and many of the problems are quite common. Yet, it's often the case that no solution is ever posted, because people just sent...

Congrats. Your car can probably be turned into Ludicrous with a software update, so they preemptively put the underline there.

I'm one who's not taken by the Taycan, for a ton of reasons. 1) I've been a Porsche owner for the past 13 years, and have gone from infatuation to detesting the brand. Their product has so many problems compared to just about any other car I've owned. In terms of service, their business model...

That's fantasy. Plenty of 2017 Model S on the market for $50K.

I saw one for the first time yesterday. Looks like an earlier generation Chevy Volt in person. It’s got to be a tough sell at $90k.

What do people mean by Sentry Model "does not work"? I believe it does provide the alarm function on AP2.0 cars, and I expect an alert to be sent to the phone in the event of a break-in. It's true that the video function is not supported; however, if you have an IRO dashcam installed in the car...

My S75 RWD does not have any shudder when floored, but my X75D has the shudder. As a result, the dual motor car can't really achieve its full potential despite having faster 0-60mph time than the RWD car.

Now the 75D guys can legitimately wear a Dual Motor badge.

I love the look of the turbine wheels, but I want to keep my stock 19" size. I see a few aftermarket vendors offer this style of wheel, but it always comes in grey or black. Has anyone been able to find these in silver? This is for a 2017 Model S.

If you charge to 100%, you won’t have regen for about 10 miles or so, which results in increased wear to your brakes.

Correct . AP2 doesn't support video for Sentry Mode. However, if you have an IRO dashcam, it will record whenever Sentry Mode is turned on. Prior to Sentry Mode, the dashcam will only operate when the car is powered on.

If the optional phone dock in your Model S or X doesn't charge, the root cause is that the charge port doesn't stick out far enough. If you have a phone case as most of us do, it doesn't have enough reach to make contact. There is simple fix for this issue. You just add a small piece of thick...

I would upgrade if the Robo Taxi thing is for real, because my existing car would become self-funding. That frees me up to buy another one.

Tesla just deployed Sentry Mode to AP 2.0 cars (as opposed to 2.5). It provides alarm functionality without the video support. However, as mentioned in the above post, turning on Sentry Mode powers on the IRO dash cam, which means your IRO dash cam will be recording whenever you turn on Sentry...

I have a June 2017 MS with AP2, and the FSD upgrade option shows up in my account for $5k.

I actually drove a MS 75D for the first time this week as a loaner. I have a '17 MS 75 RWD. Due to the proximity in age, both are equally comfortable. The 75D is more powerful when you nail the accelerator but otherwise behaves similarly. I couldn't detect a difference between the air...

You can call it an incredible claim, or a powerful vision. Proof will be in the pudding. From my perspective, CEO owns the vision. He isn't just saying stuff. He has shown you the goods. If you want to equate that to a slimy sales pitch, reverse mortgage, etc., those are incredible statements...

Even though everything was explained, and people who took a test ride afterwards reported witnessing autonomy in action?

In that case, you can wait forever. Moore's Law says that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles about every two years ;).

Today's presentation was a feast. To anyone who majored in EE / CS, the material is especially exciting and definitely not pie in the sky stuff.

Really? I haven't paid attention for a year now.

In the Bay Area, Teslas are about as common sight as taxi cabs in New York City.

Just finished by taxes, and I can confirm the Model X tax deduction (or any SUV over 6000 lbs) is completely legit. You can do this in TurboTax. When you come to the auto expenses screen, simply follow the path of "I want to use actual expenses" rather than "I want to take the standard...

I observe the same dust issue in both my S and X. It requires a wipe-down about every couple of weeks. Neither car has the bio-weapons defense mode, but I plan to get it retrofitted with my next service appointment.

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't care for the 3. Don't like the awkward door handles. Don't like pushing a button to exit the car. Don't like not having gauges in front of me. Don't like the size. Don't like the low rear seating. Don't like the lack of rear hatch. I also don't care for...

Hi all, this is City Racer. The manufacturer recommends that everyone migrate to LuckyCam. This is the app that they will continue to update and support.

I just paid for the upgrade. However, I'm unclear as to whether I will receive the upcoming new chip?

Just got this error on the S tonight...

In my area most Model Xs live outside. It's not an issue because the weather is mild and the car is not a novelty. Personally I prefer it to be outside due to the car's size and the FWDs.

This is an old thread, but there is now a solution: Electric Power Steering for Tesla Roadster

Macrorit may be blocked by Windows Defender. Here's another legit FAT32 formatter: MiniAide Fat32 Formatter

Mine is now working. Version 2018.34.1.

Got it on the S. Still waiting on the X.

Pretty sure it doesn’t work on mine, as all of the criteria are met.

Does anybody have the show working? My Model X is on 2018.26 and all it does is roll down the 4 windows. How far away do you have to be from the vehicle?

Just got this error on my 4 week old Model X.

Ironically, it's looking like China will win big with this trade war. As the U.S. becomes an unstable trading partner, automakers are moving new manufacturing investments to China. We have already seen mega deals from Tesla, BMW, and Volvo. China is now positioned to become the EV manufacturing...

What's the purpose of the rubber plug? In later posts people said they just use hockey pucks

Anybody care to post some real life photos of Lloyd's Ultimat or Luxe mat? Thoughts about one vs. the other?

Not going to make 5K a week? Come again?

A few phone pics. I kept the carpets under the mat, except for the front.

One more:

Let's try again. Here are a couple of real world shots:

Have some faith your issues will be corrected. The car is an engineering marvel, but probably too complex for its own good. I picked up my Model X last week, and it's been nothing short of awesome.
