    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    You can try what I did - 1) Schedule an appointment via app requesting HW3 and Infotainment upgrade. They of course cancelled and said I was not eligible yet. 2) Emailed Tesla customer service asking when I would be eligible, the announcement said I should be eligible in March and I have...

    GPS not updating

    Used to have this same problem with older firmware versions. Only way for me to recover was: 1) turn off mobile access 2) park car, roll down windows (SoCal Heat) 3) Close all doors, power down car. 4) Wait 3-4min after power down. Touch nothing. 5) Open driver door to power the car back up...

    HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

    SoCal MS AP 2.5 - made the appointment at 8:30am via mobile app requesting the HW3 upgrade. Received a call from the service center 20min later cancelling the appointment. They informed me the FSD upgrades are still in the planning phase and their engineers do not have an ETA when they will...

    Hard braking with TACC in stop-n-go traffic

    No fix that I am aware of. Just kind of got used to the noise at this point. Service center informed we that it was ‘normal’.

    Finally got my Blackvue mounted and working.

    Went through 2 blackvue cameras, and I do not know how many SD cards myself.. eventually gave up and tossed it and am just living with the Tesla Dashcam now (miss the Audio features of Blackvue)... The cameras would eventually just keep rebooting, stop recording, or destroy SD cards (even the...

    Sentry Mode Bug

    Could be related to this (see Service center note below)? I continued to have issues where Autopilot was not working, typically I noticed it after getting in my car when it was hot out.. Just got this note from the service center today. Seems Cabin Overheat Protection is glitching out.. possibly...

    Problems w/ Auto High-beam dimming and Cameras

    Hey! Think I finally received the answer to this problem - it seems the Autopilot computer is shutting itself down due to heat in the cabin of the car. There is a firmware bug out there, likely related to either Sentry Mode or the Tilt/Intrusion sensor that turns off the Cabin Overheat...

    Problems w/ Auto High-beam dimming and Cameras

    Yup! Have this same issue that occurs randomly. I have found that the problem goes away if I just put the car in park and then back into drive (works 90% of the time). Originally I had this problem a year ago and nothing would work to get the lights to turn off, or get AP back online. They...

    Error | Incline too steep: parking brake may not hold

    I have had no luck finding a solution, have a service appointment coming up mid May and plan to ask them about it then. For now I just make sure to engage the Parking brake (hold down park until the Red P pops up).

    Error | Incline too steep: parking brake may not hold

    Hello! Wondering if anyone has experienced this error and if anything was done to correct it?. Been about a week since I received 2019.8.3, and I have started getting this error whenever parking in my driveway (which is at an incline, however have been parking the same for 2 years with no...

    Software Update 2019.8.x

    2019.8.3 Here is a little clip and pic of what happens when on AP and approaching a Red Light. Apologize for the poor quality / shaky video :) Note: The light turned green at the last second and I took over just prior. Just a warning message to take over and the Speed Limit Icon changes to...

    Tracking a car during transport?

    My understanding is that the GPS in the Tesla only updates when the car is in Drive. So in park, being towed, GPS will not update. Source: My experience in having the car towed and this is what Tesla Tech Support informed me.

    Car constantly wakes up in Jack Mode...

    In case you have not tried, Usually if I put the car into Drive, then back in park it will let me take it out of Jack mode. May be worth a shot next time if it is Greyed out on you.

    Car constantly wakes up in Jack Mode...

    Yes! This is occurring all the time for me. Took it into service and asked them to check, they stated it is a known firmware bug and there is nothing they can do about it now. Especially irritating when I forget to take it out of Jack mode and the car scrapes against my driveway on the way...

    Software Update 2018.42.x

    Been using NOA allday errday - and had my first surprise with it this evening. Currently on 42.3, driving with NOA on Mad Max setting, just sharing for the sake of sharing. Had to take over to prevent NOA from rear-ending someone. You can hear the alerts (forward collision warning), so the car...

    screen discoloration

    Just picked up from the SC. They replaced the screen only, still on MCU1. Annnnnd I am surprised everything with the new screen seems Ok, it is installed correctly, and functions as it should. Hopefully it lasts!

    Hard braking with TACC in stop-n-go traffic

    Good to see folks are still trying to get this fixed, still drives me nuts. Albeit I have just accepted that my brake pedal makes fart noises when using EAP and TACC. I have noticed that Loaners I get have the noise as well (even newer 2018 models). I gave up with the service center trying to...

    screen discoloration

    Mine has been at the SC 4 days so far waiting on the part, they estimate it will not be done for another 4 days. I called them several times before dropping it off for my appointment to make sure they had the part, however they never called me back so I just dropped it off at the appointment...

    Surround vehicle display limited v2.0 90D

    Mine came back today, in the morning - went away in the afternoon, and came back again tonight.... *sigh* my appointment is for 10/30, sounds like you may beat me to the SC. Would be curious what they find if you do end up taking your car in.

    Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d

    Two possible firmware bugs with this version (have had v9 now for about a week): - Our friend “Air Suspension Needs Service” has returned and has been sporadic. Clears itself eventually. - “ Sourround View Limited”, there is already another thread going on regarding this error as well. These...

    screen discoloration

    September 2017 Delivery, custom build (MCU1) - Just noticed the lovely burnt crust look on the MCU screen after v9 upgrade. Guessing it is much more noticeable with V9 since Navigation is fixed in the background all the time now (lighter colors) causing it to stand out.

    Surround vehicle display limited v2.0 90D

    Been ~ 2days for me and the error has not returned.... yet. Guessing it was just calibration in my case.

    Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d

    Have v9 AP2.5 - never really had an issue in HOV Lanes. Drive them all the time, occasionallly the car would get close to the center divider (when the divider popped out a bit for overpasses) but nothing that ever made me too nervous. It is certainly better at staying center in the lane now...

    Surround vehicle display limited v2.0 90D

    Mine came back last night as well. However gone again this morning. Wondering if there is a bad (or partially obstructed) camera. I did an extra cleaning of all the cameras this morning as well to see if it helps.

    Surround vehicle display limited v2.0 90D

    I did another reboot and power down, ran into the market, when I came back out the error was gone, and I noticed on my drive home cars were now displaying directly behind me in the IC as well (which I was not seeing before). @blee321 – Indeed, seems to be related to calibration of some kind...

    Surround vehicle display limited v2.0 90D

    Got the same error. Drove home from SC where they installed v9, no errors car drove great, went out for another drive about an hour later and the error popped up. Been unable to clear with MCU reboot, IC reboot, or powerdown. I did notice on my drive home from the SC that the IC was never...

    Software Update 2018.39.5 a1c2332 (first 9.0 release)

    Just had Mobile Service out to perform annual maintenance.. he pushed out 36.2 (I was still back on 34). After 36.2 installed he checked and v39 was not available for my VIN (would not allow him to push it OTA). I am fairly certain I have AP2.5 car as well, and purchased FSD (received the car in...

    Cruise Control Disabled?

    I have had my new MS 75 for 4.5 months, it has had 8 service visits and spent about 6 weeks of my 4.5 months of ownership at the Service Center. I feel your pain. However the Service Center has been extremely supportive. They ensure I get a newer Model S or X loaner all the time, and gave me 2...

    Cruise Control Disabled?

    Had this exact same thing occurring to me randomly off and on for about 3 weeks (AP Disabled, Auto High Beams not working right, and no lanes showing on console) took 4 service visits to fix it - here was the final fix that seems to have resolved the problem: --- Concern: Customer: states the...

    Has anyone experience this odd issue?

    Just had this happen to me as well. I was driving on the freeway in the center lane when the Radio lowered, heard 3 soft beeps and the car began pulling toward the right of my current lane. Trying to figure out what was going on I noticed on the center console the ultrasonic sensor showing...

    Tell me why you love your dash cam?

    No wifi in my Blackvue set-up. I just let it store to the SD Card and with the 128GB card the vids stay for about 3 ish days I believe before they get overwritten (with 24x7 recording). The blackvue broadcasts its own SSID, so you can connect to it via your phone and download the videos, or take...

    Tell me why you love your dash cam?

    Also - Here is a video from my Blackvue of an Accident that I was witness to. The CHP and both parties insurance companies used this video. As I understand it, the person who caused the accident (car that crashed into the center divider) tried to claim that the other car involved in the accident...

    Tell me why you love your dash cam?

    The blackvue install I posted earlier was fairly easy to install and based off of the install would be fairly easy to remove as well. I cannot imagine you would have any issues removing the camera before your lease end, or causing any damage to the car. Most of the installs ask you to remove...

    Tracking car while on a transporter

    My car was towed in twice (new 2017 MS) during the "Parking Break Needs Service" plague... each time it was towed it never updated the GPS. During one of the long tows I was nervous the car was not yet picked up (since I left it in a parking lot). The Roadside service line informed me that the...

    Tell me why you love your dash cam?

    Update "failed", but it didn't?

    Intermittent Front Parking Sensor Failure

    I have started to notice something similar when parking, and I assume it is occurring mid drive sometimes as well causing AP to fail. I will be driving in full AP/TACC and then AP randomly fails and shuts off with a bunch of alarms. This just started with 2017.44 release for me. Below is a...

    Hard braking with TACC in stop-n-go traffic

    Hey Sevenout -- Curious if you had any further updates on your situation? I have had Zero luck, and now with the latest 2017.44 release, it seems the AP / TACC is loving the brakes even more so the sound is occurring more frequently.

    Are the premium upgrades worth $5,000?

    I bought it and do not regret it, enjoy the heating steering wheel when needed, HEPA Filter, and enjoy the upgraded audio, which I will just assume is much better that the non-upgraded audio package.. :-) I went back and forth on it as well, and ultimately bought it... My bad logic was "Well...

    Hard braking with TACC in stop-n-go traffic

    Thanks for the update!! I have to take mine back into the SvC tomorrow due to them botching a repair job on one of the window seals. Do you have any further information I could possibly throw at them or are you still awaiting more info?

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Could have also been that the CPO you bought was previously a Loaner car for Tesla? I used a Loaner a couple weeks back and it was governed to 80 MPH.

    "Parking Brake Needs Service"

    Hard braking with TACC in stop-n-go traffic

    I just got mine back yesterday, test drove it with the SvC Lead Tech, and received a call today that the noise is "Normal" and it is the Brake's being applied in a quick pulsing action (Not ABS) but rather a function of TACC. Supposedly they checked with Engineering, and other Tech's at Tesla...
