I had to disconnect the cable per the video and pop open the trunk manually. Once the trunk was open, the emergency release cable started to work again.

Gave the tutorial a go and it worked awesome! Once you pull the paneling off to get to the connector, one pro tip, is you don't need to go as far as removing the paneling on the trunk. You can use the emergency release cable once the latch releases to use the trunk as-is until you bring it in...

Have a link? I'm joining the club today and I'm 600 mi away from home. Not having cruise because the car thinks the trunk is open is going to not be fun. Edit: bubbling up the video. Hopefully I can sneak in time to give this a go before heading back.

+1 curious what the steps to the fix are. Door handle presents / retracts, but does nothing when trying to open (just like the video clip).

Hey TMC, My 3rd door handle has failed on my 2015 Model S and I'm torn if I should have the service center swap it or DIY. The part they would replace with is 1135723-S0-A; which is Gen 2.1. Given Tesla has Gen 3 handles, is 2.1 the equivalent of Gen 3 for pre 2017 vehicles? If so, does it...

If I could get 300mi of range, that would enable me to charge at my hotel, home, friend's house, etc as most of my destinations are going to be in that range; this frees up chargers for others on longer trips and saves me the time. This statement is only for me though, not for others who drive...

I addressed the 99% population question earlier; you did not respond to the statement. Yes, I'd take a different vehicle with 500 miles that yields me 250mi realistic miles over a Tesla that has 200 mi of realistic range (for example). That's 50 miles further I can go on my drive that may...

No, you are talking about a utopias world where such infrastructure won't happen for at least a decade if not longer. You also don't address the issue that my charging time (aggregated) is going to go up the worse my weather conditions due to multiple stops (which people don't want to waste...

Please tell me how your car can change from 0 to 300mi in 15 minutes. Please also tell me how you are going to drive 150mi if you are losing a heavy amount of range due to common weather conditions. You are back to the point that has been made by others and myself. People don't want to sit...

Please tell me how you have 300 mi of range in 32F or less temperature, with 20mph headwind, driving 75mph, with a loaded up car, while driving in a blizzard and won't have any range anxiety. Does your Tesla come with Mr. Fusion?

Do you drive to areas where superchargers can be 150mi+ apart? Do you live in an area where you don't have access to v3 chargers (you are optimistically assuming the whole network is already v3) Do you drive to areas that are below 32F? Do you drive in areas where ice builds up and you need to...

Please come to the other 30 states that have farm land and deserts, where cities are spread hundreds of miles apart. If driving through the northern half of those states, please ensure it's winter and it's 0F blizzard conditions where you lose half of range (I agree, heat pump will help, but I...

Living in North Dakota, I was pretty disappointed to hear 400mi+ "is not needed" statement. I greatly disagree as I lose about 40% of my pack in the winter, and many of the speed limits are upper 70s and low 80s (all of SD for example, is 80 mph on interstate). Put both together + wind...

That's why I'm super upset. When the tech came out to get the car back into a drivable state, they were like.... Yeah even though it says it is, it isn't. It's the original.

I never received a replacement eMMC chip; the car has the original chip. Tesla deamed it fully functional and decided to not replace it because it "looked ok". Again, I have no idea how you can get by not replacing a recalled part because "it looks ok". That's not how any other auto...

If the eMMC was replaced per the recall two months ago I wouldn't be in this position or subject to the $200 fee to get this replaced during maintenance. To me, this would be like saying, oh the airbag in your call is recalled, but per our testing it should be fine, and wham the thing blows up...

Hey TMC, Less than 2 months ago I brought in my Tesla for service (I have to drive about 250mi+ away to get to a service center, so it's typically a 2+ day ordeal and not super fun since I end up paying for 2-3 hotel nights out of pocket in addition to whatever maintenance will cost)...

Dang, I cannot delete this thread. For future searches, looks like I am falling victim to this: MCU1: Black center screen / mcu failure caused by a faulty navigation MicroSD card

Hey TMC, I am having issues with my Model S where the MCU (v1) is a black screen and my dash shows "Center display unavailable; Driving and user settings could not be restored." I had the eMMC swap done 2 months ago as well. A few weeks ago, I received a new update (v10.2; 2020.48.37.2) and...

Since this thread is getting more traction, thought I'd update (which tldr; there really isn't one, right now I'm still paying regular rate). I'm still torn on how to move forward. There's another program where we are thinking it may be more cost effective to add a separate meter to the house...

Hey TMC, Does anyone know if it's ok to put the Gen2 Wall Charger/Connectors on off-peak electrical programs? Essentially the way off-peak works for us is they have a controller box that can flip specific breakers on/off during high utilization in exchange for extremely low kwh costs (like...

Has anyone heard any news on when/if South Dakota may be getting another Supercharger to complete the I29 stretch to Fargo?

Bummer. That's one of my favorite features in my model s :(

This is being pretty picky, but has anyone heard if the cybertruck will offer the ability to have a sunroof option? It seems like Tesla is trying to get away from an opening top in preference for all-glass (don't see the sunroof option on any of the vehicles anymore), but I do like feeling the...

Here are the pics I've been posting to our internal group. One thing that's different is Tesla now seems to be using preformed concrete bases to accelerate the deployment of the chargers. These pictures we taken October 20th, 2019 (with the exception of the first photo taken on the 18th, which...

Looks like it's there for centurylink. No new tickets have been posted to dig for Tesla from Gopher One State Call.

Just looked at Tesla's official supercharger map, looks like there are quite a few new ones they want to add in MSP... wondering if they are going to delay anything west again until MSP is built out? Find Us | Tesla

Just as an update, there is no update/progress on the Alexandria Supercharger :P Drove by today and scoped out the Target parking lot, no flags, paint, landscaping, etc. :(

All three generations are located under the rear back seat.

Somewhat related -- I live and travel in several areas that don't have any super charging infrastructure and am considering upgrading from a single 40amp charger (gen 2) to either dual gen2 chargers or a single 72amp charger (gen 3). Is there a pro or con vs doing dual gen 2 chargers at 40amps...

Just want to bubble up that I am seeing the exact same problem. I purchased 3 HPWCs on the same order; 2 were shipped and the 3rd one just never showed up. I contacted Tesla both via phone support twice (mentioning this when trying to transfer ownership) and email 3 times until I finally heard...

Just installed v9.0 (2018.39.6 8377b4d) on my P85D. Couple of things I noticed: Overall, things are incredibly responsive as others have mentioned! I would say v9 is a night and day performance difference over v8.1 1) The "tune bar" to scan for radio stations was removed from radio context...

+1 on what everyone else is saying about AP. I just purchased a P85D two weeks ago before v9 was announced and the only regret/buyer's remorse I have is that it doesn't have AP2+ for autosteering. While AP2 will be insanely cool with v9 GA, the more I think about it, it's not as big of a deal...

It's getting to upper 20s at night and lower 40s for a high... Unfortunately, it won't be uncommon to hit -20F, with extemes around -50F around February since I live in what many would consider the 9th layer of hell :)

This is fantastic advice! Really appreciate it! :)

Hey TMC, I'm in the process of transferring ownership of my "new" used Model S to me and unfortunately don't have access to the mobile app for my phone (10 days into the transfer process with no update from them :( ). Living in a cold climate, is there anyway to precondition the battery...

Sorry if this comes off as complaining/whining/ranting... but dang, this is a huge bummer for AP1 peeps... I literally bought my first used 2015 SP85D two weeks ago after saving enough to purchase a used Model S (didn't want a Model 3, the S is something I really think they did a fantastic job...

Thanks for the reply Darmie! Outside of the battery pack and MCU, any other quick things to check? Also, are there any gotcha's in transferring ownership? It looks like: Call the main support line: 1-877-798-3752 Option 2: "Additional Support Options." Option 2: "Transfer of ownership."...

Hello TMC gang, This is going to be a really wide open ended question, but are there any guides written up on things to look at when buying a used Tesla? I'm thinking about buying a used Tesla Model S from a private seller and am looking for different things I should check out/make sure are...

Sorry to bump up old topic, but honestly wish they'd put the next to the Caribou Coffee gas station in Summit, SD. Not much in that town, but it's a common stopping point off the interstate for people driving to Aberdeen or Watertown/Brookings/Sioux Falls if they can't "hold it" until...

Actually, the picture above has it. Here's the datasheet for the wire: https://www.encorewire.com/wp-content/uploads/EncoreWire-SER.pdf Looks like it's rated for both THHN/THWN-2.

This passed wiring certification by the city inspector, I don't think we have any codes around running low voltage wire at all. The conduit containing power is all encased in the metal conduit where as the low voltage items are in the PVC pipe. Between the two, I think ESD should be fairly...

Thanks David! Do you know of any other wall connectors that might understand the load sharing? Thanks Shawn! Haha, no kidding! The stock market has been an unforgiving beast to a few companies this month. Poor guys, can't catch a break from the media at all. In the words of the joker...

Aww, dang it won't let me edit my post. Good catch. I actually used 18/2 AWG shielded stranded pair. Not sure why I wrote 16 AWG solid.

Hello Tesla Motors Club, I'm in the process of finishing up my garage on my new home and am planning on hopefully scrounging up enough to purchase my first Tesla in a year or so (anyone in U.S. looking to unload a model s? :)). In preparation, I've setup 3 electrical runs throughout my garage...
