    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    Is FSD and/or lifetime SC transferrable now? And if so till when?

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Does anyone know if they are still doing FSD transfers and/or lifetime SC transfers? If so, what date does each incentive end, and how come I can't find it in app or on website? Thanks

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    The suspension in 3 is harsh over bumps potholes, ect. S is way easier on my back. And I am only 5'6" and see 100% of the front dash screen through the wide open steering wheel. I guess if you are 7 feet tall and looking down and have the steering wheel adjusted wrong and too high, it might...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    The decision is really about the age and physical shape of the driver and if they need that crazy acceleration. I am 58 and have stenosis in my neck and back problems. My current Model S has great acceleration, and I almost never floor it because all that does is throw my neck back and wear the...

    Who cares, those hub caps look terrible. My 2018 Model S 75D gets over 300 miles of range with real wheels and no covers. A new 2024 Model S gets 400 miles with those ugly things on. You can literally take them off and see NICE wheels underneath, see the brakes, and buy an $18 Amazon Tesla...

    Well Tesla should be putting on tires that last more than 12K miles OEM. But I am going to do what you are doing in the future. Buy Michelin Cross Climate 2 (good in winter as well) with 60K warranty, they will need replacement at 30K miles, and then Discount tire will give me each future set at...

    Sorry meant 3/32nds. And what is camber correction? In any case tires should last way more than 12K miles if driven like a grandpa.

    I've noticed the thin soft paint on my 2018 Model S and had it ceramic coated. I talked to a few detailers, ceramic coaters, and PPF guys that do Ferraris, Lambos, Bugattis all day long, and they all said Tesla's paint is softer and thinner than Mercedes or BMW. They have worked on ALL cars and...

    Mostly true, however Teslas paint is notoriously bad quality, thin, and soft. Ceramic coating does up the hardness to top level paint like on a Mercedes.

    My point was that hardware and trim should be changed once a year like any other model car ever. Software updates can be every day for all I care.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Here's why. Because ANY other car in the world starts it's model year in Sept/October area. So in Sept/Oct of 2024 they tell you all the new features and if you buy the car in Nov, Dec, or Jan. it doesn't matter, you get a 2025 model and nothing changes till they do a 2026 model. No one gets...

    Tesla will do things in usual Tesla scam tactics. I bought a 2018 S because they rumors of MCU2 were "fake". A week later people got MCU2 cars and I had to pay $2500 to upgrade it. I can almost guarantee that on April 1st when the FSD and SC transfer time is over, they will announce the front...

    All this talk about Sentry mode is confusing me. I've had a Model S with FSD since 2018. The only time I have ever used Sentry Mode was when parked in a bad neighborhood where I think someone might mess with or steal the car. Does Sentry do something while driving? I thought it can only be...

    So if I have a 2018 Model S with FSD and want to buy a new Model S LR but ONLY if I get FSD transfer and LED strip/front bumper camera, how do I do it? Do I wait till someone confirms delivery of an updated car? Do I wait till Tesla website pictures show the LED strip? Or do I have to buy it...

    DIY UV Treatment for Yellowed MCU Screen

    I've always had the door shut and had to be inside the car when powered off. As soon as I open the door to leave, the car screens turn back on. Maybe it is because I had a MCU1 to MCU2 conversion? Or are you saying to leave the driver's door open, then sit down so you can power off, and get out...

    DIY UV Treatment for Yellowed MCU Screen

    Right but when you turn the car off, as soon as you exit it turns back on. The only thing that works sometimes is to put it in screen cleaner mode and then exit and get lucky. It seems the UV light is pressing buttons, turning on hvac, ect on the screen.

    DIY UV Treatment for Yellowed MCU Screen

    How do you get the car's screens and climate control to not stay on while doing this? My car even when I am out of it and far away still has the screen changing every second and hvac system turning itself on, as if I was in the car. And doing screen cleaner mode doesn't help either. Or do I just...

    Plaid vs Plaid+ visual differences?

    The rumors you hear of the new Model S being wider most likely only applies to the plaid plus due to totally different battery substructure. Pretty sure the long range and regular plaid will be the same size as current models.

    Refresh truly wider?

    I read that it is 0.3" wider, so no not really significant. And yes, it is already a PITA to park in the garage next to any other car, it is too wide, they should have shrunk it a couple inches. P.S. If only the front is wider, who cares, since the back is the problem since it is much wider...

    Does the adding back the FM tuner fix the rear two door speakers having half the volume and absolutely no bass after going from MCU1 to MCU2 with standard audio system?

    200W laptop charger

    I have a 200 watt gaming laptop, about as power hungry as you can get. You can charge it just fine (about 60 watts) from the aux port with converter when it is off. You can even do light usage like a movie or browsing (about 100-120w). You just can not play video games or do cpu/gpu intensive...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Bottom line is if your Tesla was in warranty, you should not have paid a penny to have a functional MCU. MCU1 was barely functional before FSD, and completely non-functional after HW3 board installed. The browser NEVER worked since day one, and was a big selling feature. So yeah, if within 4...

    Cold Air in Cabin

    No, Camp mode still doesn't have heat, only cold air blowing in. I have found the best solution is to just reboot the car every 20 minutes. Not happy with this solution or the loss of rear audio since MCU1 to MCU2 "upgrade", but hey, at least the browser works now, kindof.

    Cold Air in Cabin

    I can't help you. But I have noticed that on my 2017 S, I used to be able to sit in it while charging and have the heat work fine forever. This winter they changed something because they added Netflix (SO YOU CAN SIT IN YOUR CAR WHILE CHARGING!) but now after about 20 minutes, you are correct...

    Radio upgrade coming soon for MCU2 upgrade

    Only Tesla could make a $100K car and be cheap and stupid as f@ck to not put in a $8 AM radio part. It is cheap and easy to do, not to mention EVERY car in existence since 1940 has had an AM radio in it. Even if you don't use it, people EXPECT it when you go to sell the car. Some people like...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    It would seem that rather than not believing people, Tesla should just boost the bass and volume to the 2 rear door speakers thru a firmware update. I mean how hard can that be?

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    Obviously you have never put your kids in the back seat with their rap music. "Dad, I can barely hear it. Dad, why isn't there any bass? Dad, it sounds like crap, put it back on front sound." THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. FULL SOUND SHOULD BE COMING FROM THE REAR DOORS WHEN FADED TO THE BACK, PERIOD.

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    I think this is it: 2020.32.3 killed rear audio/bass And @Joelgjr , that doesn't work if you have standard sound system. There is no sub in the rear. And I tried what you said and you just get a little more volume and bass out of the 2 rear door speakers, not much more. Put on a heavy bass song...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    Guys, there is nothing more for me to explain. A service center had my car for a week, checked it out and acknowledged that the rear door speakers were not putting out proper sound. They said the same thing was found on another vehicle they tested. They gave my car back with no changes and said...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    New update is Tesla acknowledges the problem and is working on a resolution. How long that will take and whether it involves hardware or software seems to be unknown. Just another case of Tesla not knowing the solution yet and delaying the repair.

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    So this leads me to believe it's got to be a software problem for the balance and frequencies of the rear speakers. I mean they couldn't have installed/wired half of the MCU1's and MCU2's wrong, could they?

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    @hulk2k17 , before the upgrade did the rear two speakers have no bass and 1/2 the volume? In other words does your system sound much worse now to you or your kids in the back seats, or was it always that way with MCU1?
  40. C

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    @hulk2k17 , if you put the balance all the way to the rear, do your 2 rear door speakers sound loud and have thumping bass like the front? Or do they have no bass and about 1/2 the volume. Taking a poll here, anyone with standard audio system please post their situation for 2 rear door speakers.

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    I think you guys are right, that depending on the year, month, and how well the standard sound system was originally wired probably accounts for this: "This is really odd because it is happening to cars with standard sound system randomly both with MCU1 or MCU2 upgrade. Most people with premium...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    Since there is no similiar thread for the MCU1/Standard sound that upgraded to MCU2 and lost half the volume and all the bass in the rear door speakers, it is not hard to test, nor do you have to be an audiophile. All you need to do is set the equalizer's left bar all the way up to 8 for maximum...

    Is Tesla service deteriorating as they scale??

    I agree, and I've said this in the stock thread and got slammed. I don't care if the stock price keeps going up for no reason, or if they keep selling a lot of cars. The stock will crash and the company will die unless it builds a ton of service centers where you can get repairs fast and...

    I never used my phone, only the tune in and streaming stations built into the car. MCU1 rear door speakers sounded great with bass and full volume when set to rear. MCU2 has 1/2 the volume and NO bass at all in the rear door speakers now. It sounds like complete crap, not to mention you have to...

    @WASD , What you are saying is completely ridiculous for the standard 5 speaker system. And I can tell you for a fact that I have had over 25 cars with both stock, premium, and aftermarket systems, and what is going on in my car now is NOT right. With MCU1 the 2 rear door speakers worked...

    @Silicon Desert desert, @Topgun66 is correct, don't make fun of the situation. I have a 2017 with MCU1 and regular standard sound system. For 2 years with MCU1 all 5 speakers worked perfectly fine and I listened to everything at 4 or 5 volume. As soon as they did the MCU2 upgrade, driving home I...
