We just got a new Model 3 LR 2022. It's our 4th Tesla. The 2019 M3 this car replaced had had no problem connecting to our home WiFi network. I also own a fully updated in every way 2018 Model S 100D. It has no problem collecting to our home WiFi network. The new Model 3 keeps failing to...

Update: My 2018 MS 100D (fully upgraded HW3, MCU2, and etc) just received the FSD Beta 2021.44.25.6 update and now has all the same features and functions as my wife's 2019 M3, except still no security live view. This is such a disappointment.

Has anyone else had problems like this? Are we the only ones? We've had repeated documented problems with Tesla failing to receive mailed lease payment checks or receiving checks weeks late (up to 5 weeks after mailed). All the checks were sent from our automatic bill payment service from...

Yes, I am using the same iPhone for both cars, and it does have the latest version of the app. I wish Tesla would communicate better.

My wife’s Model 3 has the live view option, but my Model S does not. My wife’s 2019 Model 3 on 2021.36.8 does not have the FSD beta, and does not have the pedestrian warning speakers. My Model S is on 2021.36.8.5, with the FSD Beta, and no “live view” option is present in the car’s security...

My wife’s Model 3 has the live view option, but my Model S does not! My wife’s 2019 Model 3 on 2021.36.8 does not have the FSD beta, and does not have the pedestrian warning speakers. My Model S is on 2021.36.8.5, with the FSD Beta, and no “live view” option is present in the car’s security...

I just read on Electrek that Tesla fixed 10.3 and is in the process of re-releasing it. Tesla starts rolling out Full Self-Driving Beta 10.3 after a false start

I just read on Electrek that Tesla fixed 10.3 and is in the process of re-releasing it. Tesla starts rolling out Full Self-Driving Beta 10.3 after a false start

Thanks for the info... I must have gotten the update minutes before they pulled it. I should have gone out for that test drive right away instead of waiting :-))

Today, I got the long awaited email invite for the FSD Beta Version 10.3. Moments later, I saw a software update. When the update was done, I ran out to my Model S and was thrilled to see all the new settings for the FSD Beta. I decided to go for a test drive a little later in the day. About an...

That new steering yoke is not going to work “sensibly” unless it is lock-to-lock, at 90 degree turns of the yoke or maybe 180 degrees (either of which would be scary). What I am wondering about regarding the steering yoke is what happens if you lose power on the road? Without power steering...

I had an ant problem with one of our Teslas parked in our garage (my Model S). They were small and fast moving ants. So probably crazy ants. They were marching from the rear of the car to the same location you described. They never got inside the car. It turned out the ants were climbing up the...

Get a bottle of this wheel touch up paint from your SC. It works like magic on tiny rashes. It worked for me and was easier than I'd ever imagined. Just do a little then let it dry then do a little more and keep going until you're happy. I had no problem driving between applications. Just clean...

Well that was fast... Tesla just answered my question. The new MCU2 is covered by the extended warranty.

I am excited about this MCU2 upgrade. I have one question or reservation. I have the 4 year extended warranty (ESA) for the car. I wonder if the upgraded MCU2 will be covered under the 4 year ESA. This MCU2 is not original equipment exactly, but it is installed by Tesla. I guess this falls into...

I have a 2018 MS 100D and my wife has a 2019 M3 LR AWD. I agree... What is missing is nav. The speed is not a big deal. Looking at the nav is a huge deal compared to the dashboard nav on my MS.

I've noticed Sentry Mode is less responsive / reliable than 40.2.1 on AP2.5 MCU1.

I just got my car back from service yesterday and had a loaner for 4 days... Never had a problem getting loaners anywhere in Florida. For what it's worth: I've read that after CA, either FL or NY has the most Teslas on the road.

2018 AP2.5 MCU1 and no joy. Feel like an orphan in something written by Dickens ;-)

I know how you feel. My 2018 MS 100D AP2.5 MCU1 has gotten nothing (not even a s/w update to 2019.40.50.x). My wife's 2019 M3 LR AWD has everything. My 2018 began AP-Driving like a drunken sailer with the last update. It disconcertingly weaves between the lines on the highway, while my wife's...

I've had a couple dozen service visits for our 3 cars and always an MS or MX loaner. I've noticed the quality of the loaners have gone down. I used to get less than a year old MS or MX P100D or P90Ds. Now, they are older (many pre-face-lift) and in far poorer condition, sometimes not even...

The 28" blade on my car was nearly unusable and drove me nuts too. I had Telsa look at it a half dozen times and no joy. I tried everything you can imagine and every wiper blade imaginable. I even tried a $250 dollar professionally installed ceramic coating. Nothing worked, then I solved the...

I did not see the tool but I do know it took about 3 hours to clear up my display,

I had to run out to the garage the minute I saw your post! :) I did not notice the smudge until then. Thankfully, it was just a little dirt. For what it's worth, the Jacksonville SC just got the tool a few weeks ago.

My 17" touchscreen was considered the worst my service center ever came across, and they put this in writing in an email to me. The screen started yellowing in December 2018 after I'd owned the car for 11 months. The screen was finally remedied on November 2, 2019. So for half the time I've...

This "first world problem" framing of the issue is a manipulative distraction from the facts. By this crazy standard, the more you paid for an item, the less rights you have for the item to be as described. I'd say logic dictates the opposite. If I came across a salesman using this argument, I...

I want one of those tickets too… Where did you buy it :)

It may be nonsense for you, and count yourself lucky, but my service center is telling me to not hold my breath. The same thing I have been hearing since Dec last year. I live in Florida, the state with the second or third largest number of Teslas in the country next to CA and possibly NY, and...

We also have a brand new Sept 2019 build Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor. It's my wife's car. That M3 works great, not a single issue! My 2018 MS 100D which cost over twice as much, not so great. Besides the yellow screen, my MCU keeps displaying static or gibberish then locks up (requiring a...

Nothing confusing... I have been begging for this UV fix or any fix since December last year! Read the posts on TMC and you will find a lot of people want this fix or any fix... and the fix is not forthcoming. I have a whole stack of emails and texts with Tesla Service Centers and managers...

Yes, I am aware of the likely-not-permanent UV light fix. I have been trying to get my January 2018 MS 100D fixed since December 2018. I have received all sorts of emailed excuses and no action. Based on the thousands of other posts on TMC and elsewhere, I am not alone. It sure looks like the...

Tesla is apparently developing a new bezel-less touchscreen. Electrek is reporting this based on patent applications and design mockups. They claim that Tesla is developing this touchscreen in-house. https://electrek.co/2019/10/04/tesla-bezel-less-display-technology-holographic/ This is all...

I wish I could vote 1000 times for communication. Every problem I've had from yellow screens to more serious issues would have been nothing if they communicated clearly with me the way they used to do. Their communication is growing worse and worse. I own a Dec 2017 MS 100D and an August 2019 M3...

Fell in love then out of love with CR Spotless – buyer beware When I first purchased this system to wash my Tesla, I loved it. The results were, well, spotless. After the first resin cartridge ran out, I ordered a replacement. It arrived on time and well protected in a heavy box. The...

Here is an update that is the result of my working with my local Tesla Service Center and the Service Center working with their engineering contact. I have discovered something interesting which could be the cause of this problem. The theory is that: Sentry Mode is using a history of all past...

I just tried turning off bluetooth on my phone just in case the car got smarter with 2019.28.3.1 and will not trigger if it detects my phone. Sadly, this made no difference. Sentry Mode has stopped working for me with this s/w release. I have an unusual MCU/AP config. The car is AP2.5 and MCU1...

Update: Sentry Mode has completely stopped working. The lights no longer flash and HAL no longer comes up on the screen.

When I first got Sentry Mode in 2019.12.1.1 back in May 2019, I found a troubling problem. After some number of hours (1-5hrs), and the car appears to be sleeping and Sentry Mode stops working. You can walk up to the car, rap on the windows, make scary faces, and it detects nothing. I thought...

That's my poor car with a yellow screen that is unreadable, and some buttons that are obscured at times. My service center told me in writing that this is the worst screen they have ever seen and that it will be replaced once a reliable part is available. That was in March 2019. I just want to...

I don’t think Uber is going to cut it. People who pay for a premium car are also paying for and expecting premium service. Buy a $100K BWM, Mercedes, Porsche, or even a GM Cadillac or Corvette. You will not put up with being stuffed into an Uber or a Taxi, and might just tell the car company to...

I have AP2.5 + MC1 and on 2019.20.4.3. I was previously on 2019.20.4.2. With the bump to 2019.20.4.3 on highways the car no longer reliably completes lane changes from right to left. Left to right lane changes are fine. I have been on open 4 lane highways (Rt95 and the Florida Turnpike)...

The root of all the evil in this yellow screen fiasco falls at Tesla's feet for not communicating. I suspect if Tesla explained the situation openly and honestly (which it has yet to do) then many of those who are angry might be singing a different sweeter tune. I am still on the fence...

What about all the new Model S and X cars that have been rolling off the assembly lines since this problem became apparent in 2018 (or earlier)? Do you think Tesla is selling cars with a known defect? I do not, which means there may be screens which do not have this problem. The opposite of this...

I too believe this is the case... In the rather amazing absence of any official statement from Tesla, I remain extremely skeptical about this fix while wholeheartedly hoping my skepticism is shown to be way off base. Warning, the following is one giant whopper of a speculation made in the...

My hypothesis is that this is a widespread problem because Tesla went from replacing displays to keep customers happy to stopping all replacement of displays no matter how bad they were (and mine was the worst my service center had ever seen - see pic below). I think this change of direction...

There's a new post on the MX form about the UV fix being successfully applied to their car. MCU Yellow Border - Fixed! My response was: I have to wonder... (a) How bad was the screen before the UV magic was applied? (b) Will the magic fix last? I was a scientist and engineer in my past...

I have to wonder... (a) How bad was your screen before the UV magic was applied? (b) Will the magic fix last? I was a scientist and engineer in my past life, and it is very hard for me to see how this can be a permanent fix. My SC told me my yellowing screen was the worst they have ever...

I am getting the wait for the fix... What the fix is has changed over time. The latest line I have gotten is magic UV light will almost make it like clear.

That's my concern. I don't want to go through all the trouble and possible damage to my dash for a screen that yellows in a few months as I know others have. I keep thinking about all the new Model S & X cars that are rolling off the assembly line. Are being fitted with defective screens without...

Every time I get in my car, I am disappointed when I look at the touchscreen. I can see this dingy yellow frame around my screen day and night. Sometimes the yellow fully obscures the buttons on the bottom and right side. I am disappointed because my service center said this is the worst case of...
