    Radar Mount?

    That seems odd. My escort 360max suction mount stays stuck and has -never- fallen off my 18MS. The mount has a little lever that creates a super solid suction seal with the glass. Mine is attached to the glass just to the right of my rearview mirror where my power wire is. Not sure if any of...

    Currently have a Model S as a loaner and...

    Are you sure the seats are supposed to be ventilated? I didnt think that was even an option, but I could be wrong. I never could warm up to the 3, and have owned 2 S's. The 3 feels like a toy to me. Now with that said, my cars have had plenty of fit and finish issues of their own, while the 3s...

    quality control 2021 Model S

    Sorry to hear about your moment of awakening. You'll get used to the poor quality. My 2018 MS is the worst built car I've ever owned. It's shameful. My wife's $25k Subaru is like a mercedes S-class in comparison. She refers to the Tesla as "that really expensive POS." --- She isnt completely...

    About to pull the trigger on Tesla Solar panels

    Just finished this process. 2 PW + 4.x kw pv added to my existing ~6kw pv. Tesla was 50% of the cost compared to 3 other vendors. Other vendors could not promise powerwalls until late 2021, or 2022. Tesla has by far the most reasonable agreement/contract language of any vendor I explored...

    UniFi WiFi connection issues, any ideas?

    Enabling/disabling of bands is also on a per AP basis, not an SSID basis. Unifi such a mixed bag in so many ways. Make sure the the SSID is bound to all the APs, and that each AP is properly configured for each SSID. Here at home I also have multiple SSIDs. It works fine. Make sure it is NOT...

    MyQ Smart Garage Door opener with EVE

    I can't speak to the EVE integration, but just using the MyQ mobile app, waiting for it to connect/wakeup makes it not worth using. I can click the button on my visor and be parked in my garage with the door closed again before MyQ is ready for action. The Chamberlain opened and the MyQ app as...

    Are Teslas "Square"?

    My first modelS after a lengthy battle was bought back by tesla, in part because of the horrendous build quality. I guarantee you nothing was "square" in that vehicle. My second and current ModelS is better but still has the build quality of an econobox car. No joke my 24yr old Toyota Tacoma has...

    myQ WiFi Garage Opener - No Homelink

    I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish. I have myq wifi opener in my garage and my modelS opens/closes it just fine. i have to admit that i hate the on-screen control and still use the physical opener on my visor, but it pops up on screen as i arrive and opens/closes just fine. did I...

    Radar Detector Install Question

    Can't speak for a Y, but in my MS my V1 and 360max both work terrific. I pulled power from behind the mirror, up over through the headliner, and routed it down the passenger side pillar to the fusebox where I tapped power. Super easy.

    Any advice for a potential Tesla Model S buyer?

    Im on my second modelS. Unless something dramatic changes i wont buy another. The quality is exceptionally poor. Its a gorgeous design with a terrific “driveline” that is poorly built and outclassed in many ways by a Camry. I dont see any reason tesla will improve on these things unfortunately...

    Spotify question

    No. why you ask? Because the tesla Spotify client is a horrible half baked attempt at a media client. Sadly, after years of waiting for a native Spotify client they gave us one, and I am still using the one on my phone because it actually works. The lack of buffering/caching is also a major...

    Yellow Screen border, poor quality & workmanship, and poor customer service -- Arbitration

    I went through this as well. After 5months they finally agreed to buy back the vehicle rather than risk it be declared a lemon. Naively i thought it was a fluke and ordered a new replacement. The replacement has been better but it is still a piece of crap for $100k vehicle. I recommend AGAINST...

    Supercharger Speculation: Large New One Coming to Central California along 101?

    I really hope this is true. Last night I waited 2hr 45m for a charger in SLO. Then over an hour to charge enough to get me to salinas. As it is now I'll likely be renting ICE cars for road trips in the future. Tesla had additional chargers on-site, a few of them working, most of them not...

    Spotify app in v10 not quite ready

    Yes, it's horrible quality, just like I've come to expect from Tesla. Disappointing? Yes. Surprising? Not in the least.

    Spotify streaming quality

    Despite Spotify being my #1 feature request, I've gone back to using my phone and bluetooth for spotify. The tesla client is buggy, low quality, and feature poor. It's so half baked, and the integration into the rest of the media system feels like they just threw spotify in there at the last minute.

    Anyone else’s Spotify perform poorly?

    simiilar problems. 2018S. Their spotify client also appears to have no local cache, so every time i pass through a dead network area the spotify app hangs. They totally half-assed this. It's not even close to being feature complete and it's incredibly unreliable. Despite spotify being one of my...

    Supercharger - Scotts Valley, CA (LIVE 30 Jan 2020, 16 V3 stalls + Magic Docks)

    That SV location would be good for anyone in the SV/SLV area. I'd like to see a SC in Santa Cruz at the old ToysRUs/Marshalls location @ Highway1 x Soquel exit. It fits their profile perfectly. Close to highway, lots of parking, 5min walk to food/drink. Putting one downtown is...

    Speakers/Subs Rattling

    iOS integration is lackluster

    Yeah the infotainment system in Teslas is among the worst available today. I recently rented a base level Hyundai and was astonished at how much better the UI/UX of everything was. Even my old Volt (2013) did a lot of these things better, albeit smaller and less pretty.

    Bluetooth Weirdness

    LOL. I want it to work correctly. I know how to make it not work at all. I want the calendar to work. I need BT connected for music and alerts. I just dont want the headset BT profile activated. The kicker of it is that my first MS didn't have this issue, nor have any of the loaners I've had...

    Bluetooth Weirdness

    2018 MS. This problem has existed since I got the car. Currently on 2019.12 software. iphoneX w/ current IOS phone connected to car. Audio works. Headset works, as well as the terrible handsfree in the car can possibly work. I always use a plantronics headset with my phone. I talk on the...

    Read trunk lid, rubbing against bumper:

    Same on my MS. Service told me it was normal. I'm waiting until it wears a hole all the way through before I take them to task over it. If they want to be stupid and then replace the whole bumper cover, so be it.

    Cleaning Model 3 has become a chore

    It's been a year and I've never washed my ModelS. Waste of time. Once in a while I open all the doors and use a leaf blower to blow all the dust out of the inside. Also, wash the windshield if I can't see. It's very freeing to not think about this stuff.

    Autopark

    I have EAP and FSD and autopark has never worked for me. Pretty much par for the course with these cars. Tons of potential and really horrible actual implementation. God, I wish I could go back in time and un-buy my Tesla.

    Bluetooth vs Many Tesla Window Smashing?

    The better bet is to not leave anything in the car and to make sure thieves can SEE that there isn't anything in the car. Get rid of the privacy cover thing. Leave the hatch in floor open. I even leave a light colors blanket spread out on the floor in the trunk so that it's super easy to look...

    powerwall is awesome - installers not so much

    Sounds like completely normal Tesla experience. Reflects the purchasing experience, the support experience, and on and on. Glad you got them working. I gave up trying to buy powerwalls. 18mo is too long to wait.

    Frunk stuck

    This happens with the S as well. I complained to the service center, they always lie and say that they can't reproduce it, and then it's magically fixed.

    I agree. I wouldnt buy a 3. the trunk/hatch thing is a decision factor for me. Also the fugly platypus front end. ;) Be patient, things are in flux.

    New M3P vs.Used P85D+

Everything just feels kind of wrong, while the mS gets a lot of things right. Both share the same crappy build...

    The .48* updates haver broken TACC

    Also, the refusal to "add" new lanes that begin is super annoying. For example when a new HOV begins and a road goes from say 3lanes, to 4lanes. that new lane on the left simply doesnt exist for AP. I have to shove the car over into the other lane and knock it out of AP. Even worse is that it's...
