    Voice command button not working

    I have read about this and seen the same responses on all the forums. Same for me... the voice command button physically slid underneath the horn. So, I switched off my "honk to save dashcam" and have been using the horn. Sucks because i just had MCU2 installed and the voice commands are perfect...

    How do you remove sliding armrests?

    Thanks for making me crack up and spit my coffee all over the very armrest console that I want to remove so I could clean ;):D

    Best mattresses for Model S

    Dreamcase for Model X; see my photo for this bed deployed in my S. You won't regret it... I swear I should be gettin a commission from this company (I was one of the very first buyers, and have to have referred at least 10 people by now): Dreamcase for Model X

    Best mattresses for Model S

    We're the same height and weight. In my opinion, the Dreamcase is kind of like Autopilot... nobody does it better. This is especially true if you drive a Model S. So if you do find a better solution, please let me know what it is!

    Best mattresses for Model S

    It has a built-in "kickstand" so to speak, basically a flat piece that folds out, so the top of the bed rests precisely on the arm rest. The kickstand is the full width, and supports the bed while still allowing room for shoes, etc on the floor behind the front seats.

    Replacement air valve caps

    For those who want to "go the extra mile"... Marine grade anti-seize, so worth it!

    Recent/saved directories (Sentry Mode)

    Nice. So attached is what I have in saved clips, and these correlate with the two occasions when i got an event alert in my gauge cluster today. I looked at the last full minute of each, and it's either me approaching the car, or just pulling away. This is kind of what I expected... sometimes...

    Recent/saved directories (Sentry Mode)

    Damn I agree, sentry mode is definitely sensitive. I activate it almost every day, and I get an event 6/10 times... never anything of concern. I found one event in the footage, and it was just a family of 3 walking past my parking space. No collusion! My huge issue is, right now I see no...

    Replacement air valve caps

    Same story, bought them because I wanted to customize down to the wheel... but sure enough, corrosion, and they fused to the stem. Like @dmb7463 above, Discount Tire gave me a "pass" on the labor charge, then told me "don't do that again".... with such conviction, they didn't even bother asking...

    21's or 22's on my 2018 Model S 75D?

    What exactly do you mean "lifetime"? Are you saying that's your average consumption?

    20s or 21s on my Model S?

    Okay! Thanks to all your great feedback in this prior thread... 22's are no longer on the table. Please help me decide on 20 vs 21? Range is definitely a factor given that I have a 75D and am a big road-tripper. At the same time, I'm also a sport driver, I don't mind the harder ride, and these...

    21's or 22's on my 2018 Model S 75D?

    That company told me they were going to be releasing an arachnid style wheel, I have yet to see it on there but was really hoping they have it, since Tesla is not selling them anymore.

    21's or 22's on my 2018 Model S 75D?

    Thanks everyone for the very valuable feedback! I had a bad instinct about 22's from the jump, this confirms it. I'm definitely going to start a new poll for 20 vs 21...

    21's or 22's on my 2018 Model S 75D?

    Sick. I'm pretty certain that I'm decided on these wheels: SF03 Gloss Black Tinted Machined, though going to make a final decision in the spring once I actually need them. Welcome to the forum, I see you're from my old stomping grounds (I grew up in Lake County IL)! Nice ride.

    21's or 22's on my 2018 Model S 75D?

    I see that you went with T motorsport... nice! Also, congrats on getting a sunroof and roof rack... I made it just in time on that model S option as well!!

    21's or 22's on my 2018 Model S 75D?

    Roads are pretty good, mostly rural/suburban and a main highway (Madison WI). I shied away from 20's just because I feel like they won't look much different than 19's on a car so big. I do a lot of road trips as well, if that helps prompt more insight...? thanks Nick

    21's or 22's on my 2018 Model S 75D?

    I live in the Midwest, and I've put Bridgestone Blizzaks on my 19" slipstreams so these are my dedicated winter wheels. The thing tracks like a snowmobile, couldn't be happier. I've started shopping for summer wheels, and the first instinct was 21's. I did have one vendor suggest 22's because...

    Software Update 2018.48.x

    I'm in a 2018 Model S 75D... I want Pole Position.... why didn't it come with my recent update? Is this an MCU1 v 2 thing? :( #firstworldproblems

    Best mattresses for Model S

    I love it. See my profile picture for the bed fully deployed inside my Model S 75D. This is hands down the smartest money I have spent on an aftermarket item for a car. I've slept in it more times than I can count (solo and with my girl), and I've had the car less than a year. I am 6'3" and I...

    Model X - Annual Service Inspection

    How much would it be to get the annual service inspection, without having pre-purchased the maintenance plan? Or... is this not even an option?

    MS P85D wheel spacers?

    I've installed the motorsport tech Design 3 spacers, and they've worked out great so far. One question though... if I needed to re-torque down the wheel lug nuts after about 100 miles, would it stand to reason that I also need to re-torque the spacers themselves to the hub, to ensure they are...

    A good washing brush?

    Does anyone have a suggestion for a good car washing brush? I have used the one on a stick before, and they seem to be soft & not too abrasive, but I always fear that I'm going to knock the plastic backing of the brush against my finish. Also, I really don't know how safe these are against the...

    Can minor Rim Rash be fixed?

    Can minor Rim Rash be fixed?

    Thanks both, very helpful. After doing extensive homework about the options near my Chicago service center, as well as various mobile repair services... I was able to connect with Precision Mobile Wheel Repair. Certified and recommended by Tesla, and a better price than anyone else I found. My...

    Can minor Rim Rash be fixed?

    I couldn't agree more. With only 6K miles on it, I've already had the car at two rural music festivals (with people approaching me to say "you have balls bringing that car into this lot!"), three long camping trips, a road trip from Wisconsin to the North Carolina seaside and back, and at least...

    Can minor Rim Rash be fixed?

    I have a 2018 Model S 75D, with 19" silver slipstreams. I'm a camper, festival-goer, and general outdoor enthusiast... so needless to say, I've had this brand new car in a few off-the-beaten-path locations already. I've sustained a couple of small scratches on the wheels, one of which seems to...

    Frunk-sized Hard Sided Cooler?

    Boom, finally! Went to Cabela's and after a couple weeks my search is over. Acknowledging that I sacrificed a couple of my main criteria... but after seeing this in person, it's functionality and quality (not to mention the perfect fit).... it was a done deal. Otterbox Trooper 20. Bottle...

    Frunk-sized Hard Sided Cooler?

    Already emailed them ;) lol. Dreamcooler, for sure. Yeah really though, to make use of the space and have a cooler with either handles, or side utility spaces that "land" on the side shelfs of the frunk... that would be golden. --\_/-- One thing I won't be doing is removing the carpet and using...

    Frunk-sized Hard Sided Cooler?

    I have discovered the endless joy of camping in my 2018 Model S, especially with the addition of the Dreamcase. After a couple of weekend trips, I've determined that there is one thing I need... Does anyone know of a hard-sided cooler that is just the right size for the front trunk?! I have...

    MS P85D wheel spacers?

    Thank you much. Yeah, I figured as much... can't be any more of a pain in the ass then the serpentine pulley I just replaced on my backup car, a 1999 VW Passat GL6 w/ 306K miles. $50 bucks and back on the road! ;) Aside from the exaggerated aesthetic w/ 19's... is there any potential for...

    MS P85D wheel spacers?

    I went with Design 3. Am I correct in my understanding that I will not need new lugs? I'm pretty handy, but thankfully I have a friend who's a mechanic helping me to install. Thanks for the link, brilliant! I guess we'll have to see how everything looks once they're on... hopefully the rears...

    MS P85D wheel spacers?

    Thank you so much Doanster! I really appreciate the feedback. I spoke to Lenny and ordered 20mm front/25mm rear. Although I think that I chose wisely... I would love to hear your feedback on these size choices, as they are able to be exchanged. I definitely do want the look of the pushed-out...

    MS P85D wheel spacers?

    Thanks everyone for the great detail on this topic. I have a 2018 S 75D, and I really want the wheels flush with the wells. A couple of things came to mind after talking to Tesla and a couple of body guys i know: • I'm going to be getting 21's (from Tesla, turbines likely) which will be my...

    Hey all! I'm excited to be part of the forum. Just received my 2018 Model S a few weeks ago :) Related to this thread, I am 6'3" and I just ordered the Dreamcase. I am so pumped for this bed!!! From everything I have read, it seems that I will have more than enough room to fit my 75" frame in...
