I had the death rattle in my 2018 and had it fixed (twice). I learned later half shafts with a newer design/part number fixed the problem and eliminated recurrence. That predates the intro of raven models - so I’m wondering, why is this still an issue? Also as to the diagnostic charge: the...

To put a little different spin on this - is your car leased? If it is, you could have a problem with non-OEM glass when you turn it in, if they look close enough....

Great question - I didn’t even ask. When I picked up, someone was covering the service advisor, so it was just a “here’s your key”.....

Thought it could be useful to post an experience here. I'm a rare user of summon; tried it for the first time in a while, and found that it wouldn't work - the app informed me that there was an error reading camera data and that it was disconnecting from the car. This happened repeatedly. I...

I have this - but it’s a lane keeping system to keep you from drifting out of your lane. Even though it helps steer you back, I’m sure there are instances when it would be too little too late if you left your lane and there was also a car in your blind spot.

I was, of course, happy when Tesla added blind-spot detection to the CID on Model S. But - despite all the superior situational awareness that AP cars have (yes, even yours, @Chickenlittle) , I don't like having to take my eyes off the road to look at the CID to make sure nobody is in my blind...

I had a golf ball hit my rear window this summer; had it replaced at Tesla SC, and it cost $1016.00. They ordered the glass and a local glass subcontractor did the work there. Took the better part of a day. Part took ~6 weeks to arrive. Sorry the news isn’t better..........

One thing that’s a little tricky is if others in your family have app access -which you’d want any other driver to have. But - if you’re somewhere on a stealthy errand (buying a gift?) or perhaps another scenario in which you’d prefer your location to be private - they could easily see your...

As an aside, I asked about getting the HW 3.0 update (from 2.5) at the service center; they told me that the upgrade can’t be done until it’s “VIN matched”; I have an appointment for a host of problems tomorrow - will have to see what they say (i.e. whether or not my car is VIN matched yet for...

My 2018’s DRL is fading out on the driver side from the top/middle to the inside corner.

There are some other threads on this with more info. In brief, it's a common issue. The first fix that I described above (axle nut and bearing replaced) was short lived. I had to bring mine in again and I actually had to tell them what I knew was wrong based on this forum. (Crazy, huh?) . They...

No kidding. I’m actually on a waiting list for the UV fix!!

Etrons can definitely be seen driving around my area. I looked at one at the Audi dealer - typical beautiful high-quality German interior, but with such an inferior/impractical range.....

My experience with an ‘18 100D: Driver seat defective at delivery. Replaced. Replacement seat was like a rocking chair in 30 days. Replaced again. Loose trim and door panel at delivery. Before I even left my delivery I had a scheduled service visit to get that fixed. Resolved 2 weeks later...

The first test was to back out of my garage, down the short driveway, and park alongside the sidewalk. Instead of going straight back, it turned and nearly backed into the garage wall. The second time was in a parking lot.... it needed to back out of the spot, go 15 feet and go right. It started...

I have 2019.32.11 I haven’t watched the YouTubes.... but I tell you, I won’t attempt it again if there’s even one moving car in the vicinity...... it was that bad. It got perilously close to everything around it. (Such as the car parked next to it, the curb..... and in general it just never...

I'm normally "all in" when it comes to Tesla, new features and the promise of FSD. However - I've tried enhanced summon a few times now - in areas with no traffic and no unusual obstacles. I'm sorry to say it has been an epic failure each time - not once did the car make it close to the...

Just noticed last week my 5/18 build has the yellow border on the big screen, and noticed today I have it on the small screen as well. Called the SC and they don’t yet have the device for fixing this - they put me on the waiting list. I’ve fallen out of love with this car. I like it - but...

My May 2018 S has a black lower dash. I’ve only seen the white lower in the Model X. I actually prefer it! It adds to the contrast and the “storm trooper” sort of look.

I had to get my driver's seat replaced (twice actually) in my '18 MS. It actually took all day - they made a point of telling me it would take the entire day. I'm sorry that's not a direct answer to your question but it may suggest that it's not a quick sort of thing.......

In that case - the door panel really is a quick/easy fix. I don’t have ay experience with the hatch alignment - I’d make an appointment and ask them to look into it while getting your door panel fixed. Enjoy the new ride!

I think scratches WITH touch up paint are unacceptable on any new car. No scratch is good but the presence of touch up paint a) feels deceitful and b) may limit the ability of a detailer to remedy the scratch. Trunk misalignment is also unacceptable. Don’t decide to “live with it” - it will...

I paid tax (CA - 7.75%) for my FSD upgrade.

My gut reaction to your post is I like the suggestion to match the wheels. He’s right - everyone does black chrome delete.

Is Sentry Mode on?

Careful with the settings. I started teslafi with my brand new model S when everything was new to me..... I thought it was normal to lose about 10-12 miles/day of range. I found out later the car was never going to sleep due to how it was connecting with teslafi. I tried adjusting teslafi...

Unfortunately your salesman was misinformed or dishonest. Air suspension is pretty quiet - some brands emit hissing sounds but Tesla is overall quiet except for a low pitch sound that’s hard to hear when raising the car. Hopefully it’s something simple - perhaps a dry bushing etc - but it could...

Keep in mind that the autopilot hardware is installed on every car, but the software is an option and may or may not have been purchased.

It’s as though they have a team of toddlers pushing and pulling demand levers to their sheer delight.

What are you driving, @Tam ?

Just asking because I have a 2018 model S with EAP and that setting does not appear in my menu.

I think about those edge cases too. 25MPH school zones but only when children are present, parked cars partially blocking lanes (especially residential areas), backing out of parking spots with oncoming traffic which doesn't care to yield (wish Tesla had rear radar for this), two cars backing up...

That’s Model S, not 3?

Great job getting this!

No issues at all on my 2018. Voice quality is fine. (FWIW I have an XS max and do have an Apple Watch; carrier is Verizon)

Will this help? I dropped $115k on a 100D last year.

I agree. I’d also like the same functionality for scheduled charging. Sometimes I’d be fine to wait till midnight for charging to start - but I’d hate to have my charging limited to less than I need if I plugged in and expected charging to start immediately.

Only you know what’s best. I’d hate to take the depreciation hit but I’d consider it part of the package. If it were definitely just a year, I might store it. But since there’s a question mark, I’d bite the bullet and liquidate. Best of luck!

So in a few years from now when we discuss models and versions, will the only obvious way to identify a raven be to check for adaptive suspension settings?

I’ve wondered if HW3 has improved the animation of nearby cars so they don’t look like they’re dancing and jiggling when everyone is at a standstill - ?

Strange. My 5/2018 build MCU2 does not have AM. Due to having a sunroof, XM radio was an option.

While I think that "caveat emptor" applies better to used car dealerships than almost anything else - reading your post and so many others recently makes me think it would be reasonably useful for a Tesla to be able to display a spec sheet or "features list" on the MCU.

In my case it took 1 month for a rear window to arrive after being ordered. But the worst part is they never had an idea when it would arrive or if it had been shipped yet. One day I randomly called and they said “Oh, guess what - it’s here!” And oh - they wouldn’t give me a loaner for the...

I can feel your pain - you wanted this for a long time and then the ownership goes from a joy to a problem. I like the idea of taking advantage of the situation to refresh the front. I hope that structural issues don't surface, and that it doesn't take as long as you fear.

I’ve wondered how FSD would handle 25mph school zones - both during when children are heavily present, and when they’re not. (?)

Congrats - you’ll love it!

Same here. It’s ironic that Tesla uses computer vision yet doesn’t “see” speed limit info.

Totally agree - bug report didn’t seem like the right procedure to me either - that’s why I emailed Tesla.

I once read that you could submit a speed limit update as a bug report via voice control. I emailed Tesla customer service to learn more about that and weeks later got a canned “feature request” email saying they’d pass on the idea etc etc. As an aside, I noticed just a few weeks ago that I’m...
