    Preventative eMMC Repair - options

    Hi Everyone I have a Nov 2017 MS and being now 2 years into the 4 year life span of my eMMC, I'd like to just repair it now instead of getting stranded and paying Tesla crazy money for another MCU. I've separately messaged wk057 and ingineer but never received a response. Is someone able to...

    IC animation misaligned with reality by 5 feet

    I’m not seeing other people complain about this. My IC shows cars and trucks accurately but they’re typically displayed as 5 feet farther back than they really are. This means that if a car to my left has its front bumper level with my rear bumper, my IC shows them as 5 feet behind me. Trying...

    Positive Post: 25k miles in and I love my S100D

    I've been reading a lot of negatively titled posts. I always remember that people only post on forums when they're having a problem. Tesla has sold hundreds of thousands of cars and we only see 2 negative posts per week at most? While I understand the rate of issues is probably higher than the...

    Residential Powerwall Application Question

    Hi Everyone, I currently have what will be 27kw of solar between my roof and back yard. It was EXTREMELY challenging getting San Diego to approve this much solar, because you have to "prove" that you will use it and aren't building solar for the sole purpose of selling it back to the grid. My...

    Just left the Dedham MA SC - People were loosing their *$@t

    So I've heard these stories about crazy service centers. I showed up to get warranty work expecting craziness. What I did not expect were Model 3 owners seemingly throwing tantrums at the extremely patient Tesla staff. They had about 6 or 7 temp workers directing traffic and moving cars. They...

    Navigate on Autopilot flying bus

    has anyone else seen the flying bus/truck yet? I get that there are bugs, but why is it even possible for the display to show a flying bus. There is no scenario in reality where a bus would come flying over other vehicles Joking here - I love it!

    Strange heat behavior - is this normal?

    It’s 45 degrees out. Why is Tesla turning on AC, Recirc, front vent, and windshield defroster, and not floor vents? And the air coming out is cool, not warm. I definitely need heat. This is the exact opposite I’ve always done and Other auto systems do - fresh air, floor vents only. When I...

    Surround view limited

    so after installing 39.6, before even turning on the car, I had this message on my IC. I saw it mentioned a couple of times in the megathread but if this is a real problem I’m giving it its own thread. Tried a full power off and power on, the message was immediately present Any current ideas?

    Hold time >50 mins: reporting damaged supercharger

    quick question. I just plugged into the Greenwich CT supercharger and 1a looks like it was knocked into and is damaged. I called the support number and was told the hold time is greater than 50 minutes! First of all if I needed roadside assistance that would be insane. Secondly - is there a...

    Ambient Lights Bright Dim Off

    So I was sitting in my parked car and the headlights were running (and set to auto, as it was dark in the parking garage). As expected, the Ambient lights in the doors were on as the Ambient setting was tapped on. I tapped the Ambient button, it turned from blue to white, and the ambient...

    Just received a bizarre message on PlugShare

    I noticed that someone posted a picture on PlugShare of a Nissan Leaf at a nearby L2 charger parked in an open spot (all chargers were in use), with the Leaf's charge door open. The person that posted the picture said "Squatters everywhere". I wrote a comment on that charger location that if all...

    Brake lights not coming on - w proof

    so i noticed when backing into my garage my brake lights weren’t coming on either in the back of the car or on the dash. I did some testing, to find out the brake lights came on during regen, would turn off during mechanical braking, and then would turn back on when he brake hold activated...

    Parking in two spots to block “B” stall

    Is this a new fad? Or is this normal behavior?

    Poor LED Performance - 1 Solution

    The first thing that I remember surprising me about the Model S was that it’s LED headlights were rated very poorly. When I first got my car out at night, the headlights were bad - so I agreed. There was nice white light, but it was not spread out enough and anything over 30mph I would be...

    Need new rotors @ 4k miles; Question re: 40-amp Range Plug

    Since picking up my new (inventory) MS100D, there was a chatter in the brakes that got more pronounced at higher speeds. It felt like the rotors needed to be resurfaced/replaced, but the car only had 4k miles on it. I continued to drive it and at 6k miles it only got worse, so I brought the car...

    Visible Tesla Thinks I have the wrong car

    Hi Everyone - As I'm continuing to learn about my new S100D, I stumbled across VisibleTesla. I set up the app and it seems to have the controls active, similar to what the RemoteS App can do. However, in the "Overview" tab, it indicates that I have a 2012 70D with a body colored roof and no...

    My 1st Supercharger experience (& subsequent failure)

    took my first actual trip this weekend from Boston to NYC area. I charged to 95% and drove between 65-75mph. When traveling 65 I was averaging well under 300, and when traveling 75 was low 300s. Was amazed at how less stressful this car makes long trips. I arrived wide awake and refreshed. A...

    Charge percentage not increasing despite charging

    MS100D, hooked up to 120v 15amp via mobile charger. Plugged in two days ago at 58% with charge set to 60%. Car started charging and said 3 hours remaining. While I was in the garage the time to charge went higher and higher until it said 24+ hours. It still said 12 amps 111v and was still set...

    Manually Fold Mirror Button Missing?

    Nov 2017 MS. According to my manual I should manually fold the mirrors by hitting the button between the left adjust and right adjust buttons. However, on my car there’s no button there. I also can’t find it in any of the menus. What am I missing?

    Is now a bad time to buy a MS75D

    Hi Everyone - like the title says. I'm ready to put down the deposit on a MS75D. I know there's another thread called "looking for gossip", but I figured I'd make one more to the point. I'm asking because a few years ago, I bought an iPhone 5s, and everyone at work said why the heck did you do...

    Any Boston area MS owners that could assist?

    Hey everyone - first post! I’ve finally picked out all the details that I want on my MS 75D. However, I have an old New England garage on my property. It barely, barely fits my current car, a Honda Accord. Based on the measurements I see online, the MS is even wider and longer. Based on...
