    Payments to Tesla Finance not Reliably Posting

    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...

    No Security View Live Camera option in my FSD Beta enabled Model S

    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...

    FSD Beta Disappeared before I got to use it!

    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...

    UV Worked great on my badly yellowed screen

    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...

    Tesla Developing New TouchScreen - Hope this one does not yellow!

    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...

    Sentry Mode Again sleeping on the job

    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...

    UV Light Magic Fix for Yellow Screens?

    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...

    Yellow bands of death can disable some touchscreen controls

    The yellow bands of death (yellow boarders on my touchscreen) are so bad on my 11/2017 build MS 100D that under some conditions I cannot see some of the touchscreen controls, and therefore cannot operate aspects of the car such as the heater controls and volume at the bottom the screen, map...

    Sentry Mode sleeping on the job

    I have been doing a lot of testing of Sentry Mode in 2019.12.1.1 and earlier. I have found a troubling issue that I did report to Tesla. I have a 100D with AP2.5 and MCU1 in a late November 2017 built. After some number of hours (2-5hrs), and the car appears to be sleeping, Sentry Mode stops...

    2019.8.6 is buggy in big ways compared to prior releases

    My MS 100D is AP2.5 with MCU1. I just got an OTA update from 2018.50 to 2019.8.6. I’m thrilled to have the update and love all the new goodies but surprised by the big ugly obvious nature of some of the bugs. In the first 48 hours of use, I found Sentry Mode stops working after 2 hours if the...

    Crazy OTA Update Timing Theory

    Sometimes I am frustrated by how slowly OTA updates are rolled out and how I seem to be near the end of the bread line. Other times I’m happy to have been left at the back of the line because I’ve ended up skipping over the more buggy releases. The who, what, and when of OTA updates seem so...

    Tesla App not connecting?

    Is anyone else having a problem connecting to their car via the Tesla App... On my iPhone all I get is a blank screen with a "spinning wheel" that goes round and round and the app never connects. I've seen connection failures before but this one is new for me. It was working a few hours ago.

    Hints at 200KW MS Charge rate?

    This story is interesting. It would be nice if it turns out to be more than a website edit error. Tesla updates new 200+ kW Model S/X charge rate before reverting it to normal With all the waiting and frustration that Sentry Mode and the price swings have caused, a nice bump in charge speed...

    What ever happened to the “Escalate To Management” button?

    I used the “Escalate To Management” button once about 1 ½ years ago and it worked okay, not great, but the issue was escalated. I’ve been trying to get an answer to a simple question for over a month now and getting no reply at all, zero, zilch, nothing. I guess team Tesla must be stretched...

    Could Sentry Mode have saved me from this Tesla-hate crime?

    I learned a lesson today. Teslas are the target of hateful people for a lot of mindless “reasons.” Some of this targeting is due to the politics of climate change. Some of it is due to the stereotype that only liberal greenie snowflakes drive e-cars. I guess some of it is just a love of anything...

    Error message sharing

    Is anyone getting an error message when trying to send “share” a map destination from iphone to car? This worked for me yesterday but not today. No software has changed in the car or phone. Running 46.2 in the car. It seems like an outage of some kind. Sorry about the title... I was posting...

    Crazy rattling torture in my left ear!

    Have any of you experienced something like this? Has anyone found a solution? I love my Tesla, but hate-hate-hate this drip-drip-drip water torture noise. This is my second MS 100D. It has had this annoying noise that started not long after I took delivery of the car in January 2018. The noise...

    Story about AP Engaging with all cameras blocked?

    I came across this story on Inside EVs where a Model S owner claims to have blocked the front cameras with tape and then to his surprise AP still engaged and drove like a drunk behind the wheel. I am very skeptical. I think this is a hoax. My Tesla will refuse to engage AP if I am on an...

    A Quick and Easy QI Wireless Phone Charger?

    Has anyone tried the Enblue Tesla QI upgrade? TESLA - Qi Upgrade Kit for Model S and X with Center Console It's a wireless charger that plugs into Telsa's own center console phone dock and "converts" it to wireless charging. This looks like an easy upgrade. I've seen the more involved upgrades...

    Touchscreen delays and responsiveness 2018.6.1

    I just upgraded to 2018.6.1 and have noticed a significant initial delay on the touch screen when accessing commands or settings. The delay is so long that it causes me to think that my touch did not register or that the touch screen is broken. The delay can be as long as a few seconds between...
