My complaint re a two month old 2023 Model S with FSD is that I still don’t have parking assist or summon. I had both on my 2917 with FSD. I’m not appreciating what the problem is or why it hasn’t been solved.

Just took delivery of a new Model S and in the glove box USB-C port there is a small (about an inch long), kind of triangular, metal USB drive. I took it out in order to plug in my Dashcam USB drive from my previous 2017 Model S. But now I'm wondering: what is this grey metal thing? A dashcam...

Does anyone understand what the delay is? These chargers have been ready but wrapped in white plastic for several months. You can see them from the W&OD and it looks like everything is there for a functioning Supercharger site. (There is a rumor that bureaucrats at Fairfax County are slow...

I cannot get Tidal to work in my Tesla. I get presented a QR code and a link that says "Login" but the link does not work. Scanning the QR code causes a Tidal new customer page, but I'm already a customer. I was planning to dump Spotify and switch to Tidal, but it simply does not work.

I can't get Tidal to give me anything but a screen with a QR code and what looks like a "login" link that does not work. Pointint my phone at the QR code gets the phone a login page, but does nothing for the Tesla's Tidal app.

Just checking to ask: has anyone has used this Supercharger? Supercharge.info says it opened on October 15, but I'd like to be sure before I count on it for a long drive. Oops! Sorry I didn't scroll down far enough to see that there have been some recent posts.

I don't see it mentioned here, so let me point out that the TeslaFi app tracks your car's movements and it's charging very precisely. Superchargers too. You would not need to guess or estimate pre-heat or pre-cooling. If you're into Tesla data, try TeslaFi.

A great post and super conversation. For myself, I've got a red Miata and a red Model S -- I love 'em both for their distinct personalities. But if it's going to be a road trip on interstate highways, the Model S with FSD and the newest MCU wins every time. I'd post a picture but this forum...

I can't imagine why any civic leaders would oppose connecting to the airport, unless they simply don't have the money.

@Akikiki Of course, you are right about red being faster than all other colors. I just couldn't think why they would plan to change the screen unless it made some difference. Perhaps, as @beatle said, it is for those who have yellow borders or leaks. I have neither.

I have an infotainment upgrade scheduled. Tesla is offering me 10% off if they don’t change the touchscreen. I am inclined to get a new screen because newer screens are usually better (faster refresh, more detail) than older ones. Am I missing something? My MS is a late 2017 Dual 75D.

Manufacture date was December 2017. Definitely have AP2.5

Thanks, that helps. Mine indicates AP2.5, but there's no mention of the MCU.or HW. I do have a dashcam, so that implies HW2.5, right?

Is there a place on Tesla.com or another website where you can verify whether your car has things like MCU1, HW2, AP2 and other features? I have a December 2017 MS 75D and I've paid for FSD, but I've heard nothing from SC about when to expect upgrades.

By the way, on your way to Key West, there is this fast Supercharger in Florida City, FL (near Homestead). Right in front of it is Sonny's Barbecue (33505 South Dixie Highway Florida City, FL), a highly recommended local eatery.

There is a free (but not fast) Tesla charger at the Reef Environmental Educational Foundation at 98300 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037. The Foundation has installed solar panels and offers free EV charging via four different kinds of chargers. The Foundation site, in the middle of the...

If the Senator genuinely cares about safety, he should require all automakers to install devices to prevent texting as well as dialing or receiving phone calls while driving. I fear the Senator is merely seeking publicity by singling out Tesla. Statistics show far more accidents from texting...

I traded in my Lexus and have no regrets, especially about the bird’s eye view for parking. My Tesla offers to park itself, in either parallel or slant spaces, as long as I cruise by an empty space slowly. As soon as I pause and put it in reverse, it offers “self parking.” And it does a fine job...

I found two surprises: the wonder of being able to simply let off the pedal and have regen braking slow the car sufficiently to take a corner at speed. You get pretty good at this after a little practice. The objective is to never touch the brake if you can help it. Second surprise was that...

I know Tesla does not want to spend money on ads, but honestly, the questions and the disinformation are out there. Something needs to be done to bridge the information gap.

Fortunately, my little guy just gets down on the black floormat and goes to sleep. Because he is also black, I've never had any busy-bodies call the cops about the car with a dog in it!

You may not realize that in the state of Maryland, you can buy a car without turn signals. In fact, it seems like the dealers must charge extra for turn signals.

I'm unsure if it applies in this case, but NPR recently had a story about products that you buy but don't own. Here's the link: https://www.npr.org/2019/07/07/739316746/microsoft-closes-the-book-on-its-e-library-erasing-all-user-content

I can confirm that the Leesburg SuperCharger is operational. Two Teslas were charging there today (July 14). I wish I knew who to thank for this?

I had a 2001 Saab with a neat feature: there was a little sliding door in the glove box which, if opened, allow air conditioned air to flow through the glove box. It was big enough for a few cans of drinks or a sandwich. Now if Tesla could just provide something similar for the Frunk, it...

Back in to park in shopping centers because, when you arrive, you see everything going on, you know where everyone (pedestrians, cars, bikes) is, and can safely put the car in straight where you want it to be. On departure, day or night, but especially night) you can easily see any movement that...

Those of you who need this feature must live in a much safer environment than I do. I'd never leave a window down if I'm not in the car.

Someone just pointed me to this thread--sorry for the duplication--but I heard rumors about a new SuperCharger coming to the Leesburg VA so I spent a little time today looking around the parking lots near the Wegman's (on Route 7 at Crosstrail Blvd SE, Leesburg, VA 20175). The 10-station...

I heard rumors about a new SuperCharger coming to the Leesburg VA so I spent a little time looking around the parking lots near the Wegman's (on Route 7 at Crosstrail Blvd SE, Leesburg, VA 20175). The 10-station SuperCharger is in fact located on the second floor of a parking garage, the entry...

Here's a photo of the 14-station SuperCharger at 9357 6 Mile Cypress Pkwy in Fort Myers, FL. Easy on and off from I-75, and lots of offerings nearby, including a "First Watch" restaurant. Great place to stop for some really high power charging.

Imagine my surprise when, after following my Tesla’s map directions carefully, I still made several wrong turns in search of the Savannah Georgia SuperCharger. It was, I kid you not, INSIDE the Savannah airport parking garage. We had to get a ticket to enter, but did not have to pay upon...

Further to novox77 and the PIN question, in many parts of Europe theft of high priced cars is a regular business. They take a car from Amsterdam and in a matter of hours it's being driven in Moscow. Russia and parts of the former USSR have no effective vehicle registration system or law...

Can I use summon inside a large underground multi-car garage, as in an apartment building? That is, can summon successfully navigate out of a parking space and make a couple of turns and then drive about 200 feet to where I am standing?

Exactly. And, speaking as an airplane pilot, the autopilot also will not keep you from colliding with a flock of birds or another airplane.

Well, I got 2018.12 5eadc71 a couple of weeks ago, and I don't have any new maps. I don't have wifi in the garage area, so periodically I take an iPad down there and set up a personal hotspot. Still no luck.

If you get a software update, minor as well as major, will you get notification that it's available? My Model S is normally in a condo building garage where there is no wifi. One time I had a notice that a software update was available, so I set up a mobile hotspot on my iPhone and put it in...

This has been interesting to read, and having lived and driven cars for a dozen years in Norway, Latvia, Finland,and other cold climates, I agree with the diagnosis -- sliding on ice. But what I wonder is why did not the ABS feature cause the usual braking action to counter the slide? My Tesla...

At 0 mph and with the fan off, is the car "off" or "on" ? I'm just wondering that the fan alone makes so much difference?

But, you're not going to be driving that eastward route from Tromsø to, for example, Gällivare, Sweden at this time of year. Snow is pretty deep, no?

As a pilot with two small airplanes, I concur. Before every flight, we "pre-flight" the aircraft, checking everything we can see, move, or touch -- to be sure that it is working as it should. They do the same thing on commercial airliners too -- next time you're waiting at an airport, watch...

Toolioiep, I too took delivery of a 75D on December 21 and had charging problems from the beginning. At Superchargers and SemaConnect chargers, it always required lots of retries, wiggling the plug, changing chargers, pushing and pulling. Usually I finally got something, but what a pain...

Toolioiep, I know exactly how you feel. I picked up my 75D on December 21 and had the same charging problems. After a lot of jiggling the connector and changing chargers, etc, I would usually get something going. After 30 days, I took it in to Tesla and, after testing for a full day, they...

Good news! Took the car in for service and they determined the charge port was at fault. It took a couple of days to get one over-nighted to the Service Center, but now I have the car back and it's charging perfectly. I pull in, plug in, and there's the green flashing light!
