    Differences Between Mid-2018 Model S and Mid-2023 Model S

    I am in a similar position, but waiting for the drive-by-wire and a battery/range boost before pulling the trigger.

    Supercharger - Quartzsite, AZ - Main Event Lane

    @Chuq - Thanks for clearing up, There are serval in the Target store parking lots, that’s why I misinterpreted. I thought the thread switched over to a Chandler discussion, but just see it was a reference to the dirt comment above. All cleared up now.

    Supercharger - Quartzsite, AZ - Main Event Lane

    Is this the same as the 3075 W Ray Road, or is this something else ? It says Target, and I don’t think there is a target at the ray road address...

    How Can I Join an Arizona Community or Group

    Contact John Parsey, he runs the Central&Northern AZ Tesla Owners Group: jparsey1 at cox dot net. Agree on tinting, I did it this year. Went with Ceramic coating, and it cuts down on the heat for sure.

    AC Works, Mostly

    Wondering if any other owners have seen this - my MS has done this since new. Driving with the AC on, especially if traffic is slow, or the car is getting hot. The AC will blow, but the compressor shuts off, and it is blowing warm air. For Example: on a 20 minute trip, 5 minutes into the...

    Locked out, then car mysteriously unlocked itself after 5 minutes

    @Fiddler - yes the phone and fob were both in the center console. I didn't realize they interfere with each other.

    Locked out, then car mysteriously unlocked itself after 5 minutes

    The handler were out, but as I closed the trunk they (and the mirrors) went in. Could not get them to present again, until they mysteriously did by themselves about 5 minutes later.

    Locked out, then car mysteriously unlocked itself after 5 minutes

    Last week I got locked out, I dropped my son off at school and he went inside. I left my keys and phone in the car. Both were in the center console. After panicking for a 2 minutes, I decided to walk home and get the other set of keys. After walking a block, I turned around to check the car...

    Rear view camera malfunction

    Same here. Dealer keeps telling me it's known, and fix coming. Been happening since the car was new a year ago. Been through 20 updates, not fixed. The dealer swears it's not hardware related. Anyone find a resolution, other than a constant 2 finger reboot ?

    Whispbar has been discontinued

    @TrevTremaine I bought my whisper bars for my S (through Tesla) in fall 2018. Most accessories clamp around the bar, so small differences in shape will not matter and accessories will be interchangeable (they work on anything round to foil wing shaped). There is also a bolt slot - if...

    Hold Steering Wheel every 20-25 seconds?

    I am a new tesla S owner, and the nag makes autop unusable. I have my hands on the wheel, but unless I twist it back and forth the car thinks I don't have my hands on the wheel. I have now solved this by sticking a 1/2 full bike water bottle in the lower right gap in the wheel. Much happier...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    @AZPowerWall - What ? I just got solar last week, and I have APS. If I am generating 10kw, and using 2kw at 4pm on a weekday, you are telling me that APS is going to charge me for Peak for the 2kw I am using from my own solar, and then give me the standard $0.12 for the 10kw I am generating...

    New Tesla owner, how do you charge low and slow

    Didn't think about the fans, good point. I was more thinking like I need to get 100miles charged in 2 hours, or I can stretch it out over 10 hours.

    New Tesla owner, how do you charge low and slow

    I also think it would be great to add a charge time feature (esp to the iPhone app); ie I need 100 miles charge and I have 5 hours - so charge at the slowest rate to get me the charge I need. Seems like that would be better for the batteries as well: to charge them as slow as possible in the...

    New Tesla owner, how do you charge low and slow

    Look like I need to search a little better next time. Similar discussion: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/adjusting-charging-amps-remotely.105814/ It does seem like a miss that you cannot change from App. So when I change on touch screen, does it only change for this single charge ...

    New Tesla owner, how do you charge low and slow

    I picked up my S 2 weeks ago. I had a 100a wall charger installed. I get right around 55mph charging. I am getting solar installed this week. Just wondering if I should de-rate my Wall Charger, or is there a way I can select to charge slower ? The solar can generate about 55a at Max, and I...

    Quick Tip for Funky License Bolt Removal

    The S does not pass the 5mph bumper crash test without it. You have to hit a wall at <5mph and have no damage. The S cannot do that without the front plate.

    Quick Tip for Funky License Bolt Removal

    I had not ordered the tool, as I had hope the dealer would either take out the 2 bolts, or let me use their tool for a minute. Neither happened, so I drove home from pickup with the front plate on. I have a 45°, but not a 90° needle nose pliers. Tried for 5 minutes, but the 45° did not...

    Wall Charger Firmware

    Just installed my wall charger, picking up my 1st Tesla later today. Knowing that everything has some IoT built into it - Is there any firmware updating that needs to happen for the wall charger ? Went with the 100a - #3 wire is a PIA to work with, but 52mph charging will give lots of options...

    Front Plate Removal @ Delivery

    Thanks, good point - I will just ask them to remove the 2 bolts, and do the rest at home.

    Front Plate Removal @ Delivery

    I get the printed socket works, but that is buying a tool that I will use for less that 2 minutes in the life of the tool, and then just sit in my garage.

    Front Plate Removal @ Delivery

    I understand that Tesla needs to deliver car with the front plate frame for the S to pass low speed collision test. AZ does not have a front plate, so I want to remove my frame right away. I read about the removal: Definitive S Refresh Front Plate Bracket Removal Anyone got the dealer to...
