I'm going to hitchhike on this thread. I currently have a first version Model Y with a factory installed hitch. I just ordered a new one and plan to take delivery next week. My local service guy non-Tesla but sells and works on a lot of them, says he thinks I just can't move the hitch from the...

Great review. I got my Yoke S about four months ago. I, too, have become accomplished to the Yoke. If I had a choice, I'd take a wheel, but the visibility of the over-the-wheel dash screen is a definite plush. I don't miss the D-R-P stock. The car gets which direction I want to start going about...

I agree on the short interval, but I interpeted it as the extra 5% was negated by the savings lost from the regen from the brakes when the battery went from 100 to 95 not effecting the whole day.

Elon says going to 100% isn't any better than 95% because the regen brakes don't work. So the efficiency of the car is diminished losing the benefit of the 100% charge. "It’s not a big deal. Charge to 90% to 95% & you’ll be fine. At 100% state of charge, regen braking doesn’t work, because the...

Never found out. I plugged it into charge the main battery and set it at 85%. As soon as it started to charge the screen went away.

I just sold my 2017 S with unlimited charging. It was outside 9 months of being able to transfer the free supercharging. The number of inquiries wanting to know if the supercharging transfers would disagree with your #1. The well informed user on this forum may realize it's a small token, most...

Surprised at the 7 nah and 3 yea votes. Wondering how many of the 7 nah's are model 3 and Y owners. Not sure why an S owner wouldn't want to add 'value' to their $100,000 purchase.

Today Tesla is way of ahead of the competition. Emphasis on today. It would boost sales of S‘s and X’s. And what’s wrong with good will? :):)

The warranty is a artificial limit. So they don’t have to pay forever. And a motivation to buy a new one. Which is the reason for the ”feature”: sales.

I realize Tesla currently doesn’t need any “boosts” in sales or marketing; they’re doing just fine. (Ever see a Tesla ad on TV?) But, in business you should never stop looking behind you because others can zoom past you. Also, in my opinion, Tesla’s best simple feature is it’s supercharging...

"Window defroster is a critical safety feature just like the wipers are. You may need it really, really fast when you really can't go surfing the menus." I agree with this 100%. Just this AM I had to pull over to find the defrosters and the difference in the icon doesn't make it easy to tell...

I can't seem to find the the "display chargers" icon on the map (If I remember right the little lightening bolt icon in the trio of icons on the map). In the old version you could display all the 3 levels of chargers on the map. It was a great help to decide if I was going to stop at the next...

Same here and I have a Yoke Model S 2021 LR not plaid. I haven't figured out a pattern yet.

Hopped into my latest model S (yoke steering wheel), with 768 miles on it last night. The left screen had big red letters "PULL OVER SAFELY - vehicle is preparing to shut down." This is with a 79% main battery charge. It had been sitting all day in 30-40 degree weather if that makes a...

Forgot to add it has it rear jump seat which has been removed but I still have the seat.

Just upgraded the MCU ($2000) upgrade. One owner. A few dings you can seen the photos. One accident which occurred 4 years ago, one week ofter purchasing the car. Repair by Tesla. No issues in the last 4 years. 44,500 or so miles. $69,000 Photos: https://ibb.co/album/KmZrwr

Drove by yesterday. Still not live. Someone has to explain to me the location choice here. It's on a toll road that doesn't allow turnarounds so if I'm coming across 80 and need a charge. I need to go south on a toll road, stop charge, and then proceed further south to turn around? There is a...

North bound pictures today 4/27/2021

Yeah discovered that. Trying to get into my Y today and couldn't figure out why my phone didn't open the Y. It wasn't until I flipped to display the Y in the app that it opened.

I agree w/ you on shared logins. And now I'm remembering why I bought the car via my account because someone had mentioned the roadside assistance. Not thrilled w/ the shared login but the RA will likely be a deal breaker for any change.

New Model Y owner here. My wife and I both have phones paired via bluetooth. How does the vehicle select which phone to use when both are in the car?

New minted second Tesla owner. I bought the car through my original account. Both cars are currently registered to that account. My wife and I just use the same login on our phones. Is there any benefit to moving her to a second account. We both need access to both cars. Plus's and minus's of...

Thanks. Not sure city driving is worth $3k

Hi I got a notice for a discount to $3000 on Full self driving (FSD) capability on my 2017 Model S the other day. Looking at my invoice I have Enhanced Autopilot (EAP). What will FSD give me over EAP? When I turn on EAP, I get the lane change option when the other lane appears to have faster...

Tesla service is getting their sh-- together. I've had my my 'S' since 2017. I wacked an animal within it a week after I bought the car. Service/repair left quite a bit to be desired. It was almost a year long saga of disappointment. I've had the car in for two minor items within the past...

No still have them. Funny a few years back they would have sold in minutes.

I did they said the ac only had 0.25kg of coolant when it should have been 0.79kg. They recharged it and all is back to normal. My P100D is 2017.

Ok made it back - great trip. A few things I learned along the way: 1. Something is wrong with my battery cooling. After every Supercharger (even with 72 degrees ambient temperature) we got an error on the screen that said air conditioning was being shut off to divert cooling to the system...

I've got a P100D. Will make the notes on the better SC options. Thanks.

Yikes just looked at the map for Rt 212. Definitely not a straight line.

I think we're overnighting in Denver. The picture is one from A Better Route Planner. It has me leaving Denver with 83% - If we leave with 95% or maybe stop for the first bathroom break in Limon and add a few percent we can skip Goodland and charge at Colby. Thanks for the info!

Planning a LONG road trip. Anyone with comments, suggestions, advice?

Telsa S rear facing seats

I’ve read that to remove the rear facing seats in a model S it’s a matter of removing two bolts and lifting out the seats. I asked at the dealership if they’d do it and they said they will no longer remove these seats “company policy”. I tried removing the two bolts with a Torx45, but got them...

I purchased a slightly used 2017 Model S which had everything I wanted and then some. The then some was the rear facing seats. I would have preferred the extra storage space than the seats, so I had them taken out by a local shop. (Tesla wouldn’t do it). So they’re for sale. $1500 Pickup in...

For the life of me. I don't see a PM option on this board. Or is that the joke.

Can't seem to find this info here or elsewhere. But the question came up today how long can you sit in a Model S P100D with the seat heats, heater and radio on? We just had a nasty storm in our region with people stuck on the interstate overnight in their cars. If I were stuck in my P100D how...

Hmm, I started having the same problem here: Google Maps Right after the intersection of Saucon Valley Road and Rt 378 going west on 378 I'm running 55 and then all of sudden I'm down to 35. I've almost gotten rear-ended several times. I have a new appreciation for "Be Ready to take over at...

Plenty of room on the bottom of the screen. There's no reason there shouldn't be a both option?????? Can't be that difficult of a software update either.

Yes, I'm very grateful for the loaner on one hand. On the other hand there isn't a day that someone says "that's the least they can do for you - 7 months to repair a car is absurd."

Talked with the insurance rep, he is ok with their estimate even though it has changed multiple times.

Yep, they dragged him (or her never found out) to the side and put some orange cones by it. The next week when I drove by he wasn't there.

Yes they have charged it. As of March 6 I was still able to access the car via the app. But I haven't "talked" to the car since then.

Just curious. What was your repair time? I'm approaching 8 months, wondering if I should call Guinness World Book or Records?

Actually, the front driver suspension column needed to be replaced. But according to Tesla that part was received by the shop in about 2 weeks. I'm not sure we're talking the same part or if it was exactly two weeks as I have had so many delays. The latest is, after having the car for six months...

Not is so many words, but there have been multiple emails with we're sorry, we're working on it thanks for your patience. Still waiting for the email response in the vain of "Holy S--- this is outrageous we'll resolve it ASAP." The current tone of their response is we're checking on it, we're...

Now coming up on the 7-month mark. Probably the most frustrating thing about this is the attitude on all sides: "Yep, 7 months to fix the car what did you expect?" This is the type of response from Tesla when you ask them to help move along their "approved body shop": "The vehicle is being...

Interesting. The article is from over a year ago. And I'm now approaching the 8 months they gave in the example. Doesn't look like it fixed much.

That's the problem. It seems as if the parts and orders changes. 1. Here's what's wrong 2. Ordered parts 3. Parts come in 4. Oh yes this needs fixing too 5. re-enter loop at #2 again. One thing that did take up a lot of time I found out during one of my weekly email/phone calls. Evidently to...

Yes bear as in Yogi. See attached. More irony. What town did I hit the bear in? Bear Creek. Yes they gave me an S. There may have been some luck, more likely they got tired of hearing me complain.
