    No SiriusXM audio cache/buffer

    I had the same problem on a 2017 mS and my current 2021 mS. You would think Tesla could send out an OVH update with a software 5 sec buffer.

    New Tesla Universal Wall Connector

    Does this EVSE support multiple accounts and billing so users pay for electricity used? I'm hoping its WiFi allows connection to cloud application.

    Add Wall Connector to Tesla App

    I'm a WiFi expert. Try changing your WiFi router to a premium WiFi 6 model. It should provide greater signal strength.

    Blind Spot how to move position after latest update?

    I am shocked that it is only for 3 & Y. Model S has the same need. Come on Tesla, give us this software update.

    2021-22 Tempest 19" wheel cover paint?

    I want to touch up scratches on my tempest wheel covers. They have gloss black and flat black sections, but none of the paint companies can tell me what to use. Ebay has several touch up paints for sale, but none tell us what it matches. Also, what paint is used on the 19" dark grey alloy...

    Model S Tempest Wheel Color

    Are you referring to the aluminum alloy wheel that is a dark grey? Or are you inquiring about the hub cap with gloss black and flat black? There is a 100 location wheel repair operation called Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists. For $125, they fixed my curb rash perfectly. This place is awesome...

    Refreshed model S Tire rotation

    Yes, that’s exactly what I was asking. It can’t cost a lot to remount two tires.

    Refreshed model S Tire rotation

    That‘s good news. When I rotate from left to right on same axle, can I also swap inside/outside edges too? I want to hide some minor curb rash.

    Refreshed model S Tire rotation

    My Nov 2021 build of mS refresh has 19” wheels. The rear are 10.5“ wide while the front are 1” narrower. Does this mean the tires are a different width too and can’t be rotated?

    2022 model y rear driver seat rattle

    Sorry, my rattle was on a model S LR. Latching rear seat on mY may be different.

    2021 LR Rear Wheel Damaged and Needs Replacement

    I must learn how to avoid curbs jump into the road to damage aluminum wheels. Anyway, I need to replace a 19” rear OEM wheel on 2021 mS refresh. I think rear wheel width is 10.5” vs 9.5” for front. Is proper part number# 1420222-00-A? Is there substantial savings buying wheel on eBay or another...

    Battery Drain with FOB Left in Car

    Thank you for recommendation. I’m taking the auto train again this weekend from Sanford, FL to Lorton, VA And will make sure SoC is about 75%. Assuming they leave fob in car, I will turn off hvac. Sentry off too. I can’t think of anything else to reduce phantom drain.

    Supercharger - Fort Myers, FL - Gulf Coast Main Street

    The second Estero super charger is now functional at Gulf Coast Town Center. It has a dozen 250 kW stalls. This replaces the old 8 stall charger at a different location in same mall. If you find this location very busy, go to the 16 stall super charger at Miromar Outlets, only 3.9 miles away.

    Specialty EV License Plate

    We have to wait for the next legislative session. Over the summer, I will contact two Tesla lobbyists in Tallahassee for their support. Maybe they know a reason why Florida doesn't have an EV plate. I'm getting the feeling there so much noise on bills, it's very hard to achieve attention. A...

    Automatic payments accepted by Gen 3 Wall Connector?

    As you probably are aware, know your friends, but also know your enemies better. Find out nay-sayer's objections and try to neutralize them. Then individually talk to each other board member sharing the nay-sayer's concerns and learn if they agree or disagree. This way there are no surprises...

    FPL Advertisement about EV charging

    Gee, I spoke to the manger when the program was created and it seemed much more attractive. My impression was electricity was free during off-peak times, but clearly that’s not the case, just a reduced price. The photos show an Enel-X Juicebox, probably Pro which allows management software...

    Supercharger - Estero, FL

    The Miromar Destination chargers are functional, but only deliver about 2.9 kW for about 7 miles per hour on my new model S. I assume these are for shoppers who spend a couple of hours at the mall. For 3 hrs of shopping, the mall operator is rewarding driver with about $1 worth of...

    Automatic payments accepted by Gen 3 Wall Connector?

    My board agreed to the purchase, but it helps to be president too. I paid up-front for 5 years on software and got a large discount. One option is to make a a profit on sale of electricity to cover the cost of the charger in about 24 months.

    Automatic payments accepted by Gen 3 Wall Connector?

    I couldn’t wait any longer for Gen3 WC to collect payments, so surveyed market for a good generic EVSE with same capability. Only a few vendors have adequate software to manage multiple accounts and direct billing. Pricing from ChargePoint was ridiculously high and they provide no useful...

    Supercharger - Estero, FL

    Will the 32 station charger at Miromar Outlets Estero have a Christening? I feel it deserves it based on 16 V3 stalls plus 16 (free) Destination charger stalls. Could this be one of the largest charging stations in Florida? Count me in for an event here.

    Supercharger - Estero, FL

    I have charged there twice and can confirm it works well. However, the 16 (free) destination chargers are not functional on April 23, 2022.

    2021 Rear Seat Squeak/Rattle

    Have you wrapped the rear seat latch post with adhesive Velcro or thick tape. It fixed mine perfectly. I learned about it on this forum. Why don't the service centers read this forum?

    2022 model y rear driver seat rattle

    I had the identical problem a month ago. Car rental cost me $185 and still no reimbursement. Reading this forum, I discovered wrapping adhesive Velcro or other thick tape fixes it. See my fix, no rattle ! This could have been repaired by roadside service in 5 minutes. Why don't service...

    Literal truckloads of Teslas

    Did you see a blue ms-LR? If yes, that was mine. I took delivery in Ft Myers on Dec 1. Love the white seats which took 11 months. The car is amazing!

    Updated range lowered ?

    I thought the same and discovered the initial wheel selection appears changed to 21”. When you change wheels to 19”, 405 mi range returns. I got concerned because after 11 month wait, I received LR on Dec 1. It is amazing!

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    After an 11 month wait, I finally got LR with white interior and 19” wheels. It looks and drives amazing. Mastering the yoke isn’t hard, but finding the directional signal buttons without looking remains daunting. White makes interior appear bigger.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I ordered a LR on Jan 8th and it finally arrived for Florida delivery on Dec 1. I'm amazed at the quality and clearly see an improvement over my previous 2017 ms. The only flaw I could find from a TMC 57 point check list was a paint chip smaller than a pepper corn on wood panel at door near...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I agree 100%, but maybe that's because I've waited over 10 months for MSLR, blue, white seats, 19" wheels. I'm leasing for 3 years and hoping within 36 months they will offer a MS with 4680's. EDD is 11/17 to 11/23.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I received VIN today and shorter delivery window of Nov. 21-25. Strange that they would use "Turkey Day" for delivery because Service Center is closed. I'll be a 1000 miles away that week with family. If they say it is ready for pickup 1-2 days before the holiday, will they let me pick it up...

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    I got my MS-LR VIN today so does that mean my car was built last week OR will be built next week? The 10th character is M so it must be a 2021 model. I think N specifies 2022. Do they wait until end of December or January for VIN letter change?

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Congratulations on vin. Wish I knew how they prioritize orders. I too have delivery in Florida for LR with white interior but 19” wheels. Your RN11441xx was much later than my RN11435xx ordered in early January. I think sell price or profit is a prime delivery factor since my order is only...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I believe you but how did you learn they use two different kinds of seats in ms? It isn’t mentioned in design studio. To reduce parts count, Tesla should use the same seats for LR & Plaid. It costs more $ to inventory 2 sku’s than the cost difference of piping. I am angered they ship many...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I wish the white interiors were not moving in the wrong direction because mine moved from end of October to sometime in December. Some other orders with white placed in January were delayed 2-3 weeks. Assuming seats are identical for Plaid and LR, I suspect the tight Inventory of white is...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    All of you with orders placed in June, July, and August should not be upset with 6 month EDD. My order submitted on Jan 8th just moved from end of October to sometime in December. It wouldn't surprise me if EDD got extended to 2022, making it over one year to buy a new Tesla. Since white...

    Auto train?

    How did everything go on the auto-train? Did you lose much range with key card left in car? I think that leaves car ON until removed.

    John, choosing the Plaid shaves off 1 sec in 0-60 acceleration and with new tires, $2K more, you can drive up to 200 mph vs only 160 mph. You’ll need a track for 200 mph. Now, isn’t that extra performance worth $40K to YOU? For me, clearly not as the MS-LR is plenty fast enough. Frankly, I...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    No, I don’t think the price will increase because FSD adoption rate has been falling like a rock. Electrek reports it’s down to 11% for all Tesla models. However, if you segregate ms, it’s much higher. I think buyers have been surprised by how long it takes to develop FSD. Many buyers won’t...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I think it is too risky. Add it later so it doesn't "rock your boat" while sailing in rough waters. Tesla is too finicky and you can run into all sorts of problems including a price increase. A better thought is to try out the subscription for a month or two to see if it's worth the $10K. I...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I really like a tire specifically designed for EVs. Most of my driving will be in warm Florida, but what happens if I escape the summer heat/humidity and spend a few months in the north east where temperature could fall below 45 in fall? What happens to the tire? Does it lose air, fall apart...

    Are some of you with white interior and 19" wheels getting a 3-4 week EDD improvement? Mine ordered early January was late Nov and just improved to late October. It appears they received some 19" wheels and white interior inventory. Next, I expect the delivery window to shorten. If I take...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I haven’t seen any LRs shipping with white interior & 19” wheels. Are there any with a Sept EDD? Mine is mid-Nov and hope it won’t get bumped to next year. My suspicion is when white seats arrive, they allocate to Plaids before LR, but have no evidence. Anyone else feel same?
