    Just came across this picture. Is this legit?

    High thermal capable brake calipers

    I see it now. I guess it has been changed. Haven't visited the Tesla website in a while so missed the updated info. Tesla needs to upgrade the brakes to reflect the performance of the car.

    High thermal capable brake calipers

    The website now reads"Higher thermal capability brake pads" rather than calipers under the Plaid upgrades. I was hoping for larger calipers and upgraded rear fixed four piston calipers.

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    The screen always displayed like it was with the original lights. So it doesn't know it has the new lights. It doesn't indicate like the new Model Y lights with separate brake/turn signal lights.

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    I bought one of the earlier harness directly from Nomisal at Teslogic earlier this year. It worked flawlessly up until a few days ago. I have a 18 M3P with newer Model Y lights. So I noticed recently while driving behind my wife that the turn signals flash for a brief moment before the brake...

    2014 P85D 56K miles

    Future of my 2014 Model S?

    I am in the same position with a 2014 P85D with 55k miles. I had a leaking MCU a week after the eMMC recall was perform and 2 weeks after my warranty expired. I upgraded to MCU 2. It now receives periodic software updates. I am on the fence of letting it go and getting a new one.

    MCU2 upgrade install delayed for months, Parts backordered or what?

    The day after I last posted on 6/28, I got a call from my service center that my MCU2 came in. Got it upgraded. Other than no radio, everything is better. Started getting software updates again.

    New Rear Brake Calipers For non-Performance Model S and X

    According to the EPC, the part number to the knuckles appears to be the same for pre 2017 models and up to the Raven. The parking brake connections definitely different and need to be modified to use the separate caliper for parking brakes.

    MCU2 upgrade install delayed for months, Parts backordered or what?

    My MCU started leaking right after they did the eMMC recall in April, of course 2 weeks after my warranty expired. I have since been waiting on my MCU2 part order since then. They told me ETA sometime in August. In the mean time, my MCU continue to leak all over.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I have done a few BMS Calibration without any success. How low and how high of SOC would you recommend? 10-100? I have read some threads going as low as possible and some recommending 20% is enough. Also if I charge to 100%, is it ok to let it sleep for 4-5 hours in full charge?

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Good to know. I didn’t realize that the kWh used didn’t account for usage outside of driving. It wasn’t continuous driving but accounted for last 2 days of usage. I am concerned that my 90% charge is now down to 231 miles from 279 when new. I’ve tried cycling the battery down to 5% and charge...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    So I recently charged my 2018 Model 3 Performance with 23k miles to 92%. I let it sleep for a whole day to see if I could trigger a rebalance of my battery. Right now the car shows 60% since last charge and I used a total of 16 kWh. If My calculations are correct, I would have only 50 kwh in...

    Tesla Model S Brembo ZR1 6/4 caliper

    Nice. Good job retrofitting a parking brake caliper in the rear to utilize proper Brembo fixed calipers. Is that a one off custom bracket or is it a kit that is available ? Any modifications made to the parking brake wiring connectors?

    Drive away lock problem

    My model 3 will lock after reaching 8 mph after starting the car. After I drop a passenger off and continue to drive, the car will not autolock. My model S will autolock every time it reaches 8 mph. Is this normal for the Model 3? There is no mention in the manual that the car will only...

    Plaid brake issues

    Some of the Plaid cars at the Nurburgring had large ceramic brakes with massive calipers. Too bad Tesla won't put that in the production cars. Slididng calipers in the rear on such a fast car is just unacceptable.

    My Model S Saved My Life

    That would be the worst scenario. My wife told me to let it go because of that reason. I think a battery pack replacement would be right around $20k. Ouch.

    My Model S Saved My Life

    I am on the fence on what to do with my car. They definitely low balled me on the trade in price. I have about 50k miles on the car and one more year of warranty left. I bought the car when it was 3 years old and back when Tesla had the "CPO" program where they reconditioned the car. So I...

    My Model S Saved My Life

    Just read your thread. Sorry to hear about your accident and glad to see that your ok. Being a fellow 2014 P85D owner, it is reassuring to hear that it did well protecting you. My car is a 2014 with the plus suspension. I recently had Tesla appraise my car since I was looking to trade it in...

    epc catalog access

    I logged into my tesla account on the epc catalog site. When I tried to view the parts in detail, I got an error message that said the access was forbidden. Did anyone experience this before?

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    After reading many threads on BMS calibration and its relevance, I have a question regarding my car's reading. I took delivery of my M3P in Dec 2018. It used to always display 279 at 90% charge. I try to maintain the charge from 40-90 %, never letting the battery drain too low and hardly ever...

    Euro Tail Lights in USA

    Someone in the US converted their lights. Not sure how they got it to work. They owner of the car commented: No, the modules I made demultiplexed the signals, the software on the car is untouched. No rear fog, just reverse lights (I did not change the tailgate lights, just the outboard ones)

    Powerwall 2 Installs in Hawaii

    I hope you'll have better luck than I did. When my inverter failed this past June, it took them 2 months to show up only to find out that the inverter they were supposed to replace was never ordered. The local repair team had to order the inverter directly from SolarEdge. The mainland...

    Inverter setting or powerall problem?

    Thank you @Flick75 and @Brents. I will try that. @Flick75 I think you can use your solar prior to HECO approval. I don't think they would know, esp if you turn your breaker off from the grid and go back up mode. The only they might notice is your usage goes way down, LOL.

    Inverter setting or powerall problem?

    Got it. So I need to wait for Tesla to respond. I wish I could have got them to give me the credentials to log on. Even the Solar Edge monitoring app is not available to us. I think the Tesla app is much too simple. With the old inverter before it broke, I was able to live off the grid for...

    Inverter setting or powerall problem?

    Ok. Will try that. I tried to pair yesterday but phone couldn't locate the wifi for the inverter. I did flick the switch to pair for 2 seconds. I wonder if they disabled the wifi. Also if I tried to pair, would that shut the solar panels down? So the only way is to get them back to...

    Inverter setting or powerall problem?

    Inverter setting or powerall problem?

    After my solar edge HD wave (one with the screen) failed after 1year and 4 months of usage, I finally got a replacement from Tesla after 2 1/2 months of waiting. This time the inverter is one without a LCD screen. After they replaced it, something unusual is happening. I normally run on self...

    Inverter failure

    I think I made it work out with constant monitoring of the usage. I would only charge the cars only during 10am -1 pm in order make sure that the poweralls are close to 100% before sundown. But there are days when it is cloudy where I am not able to charge both cars and the poweralls...

    Inverter failure

    I'm thinking it might be faster to get the out to fix this if I buy a few more panels and add another powerwall. I could use a third powerwall. With 31 panels and 2 powerwalls, I was able to be on back up only (turned off the breaker from the grid to house) for over 10,000 hours. I find...

    Inverter failure

    Totally agree! So far I haven't heard from Tesla regarding compensation although I did express my concerns to them about having to pay for electricity while I wait for them to fix the system. It is a big hit considering the cost of electricity in Honolulu. I am going to be paying around 5-600...

    LOUD Buzzing Noise - 2014 P85

    Auto lock doors

    I noticed that the doors don't relock itself after the door is opened. For example, if you stop to drop someone off and then drive off, the doors don't relock itself. Only when it is in park and when you driving away do the doors autolock. In my Model S, the doors would always lock after...

    Inverter failure

    My inverter failed 4 weeks ago. Got an 18xB7 hw error message. No solar at all. My inverter only shows 5 of 31 panels and re-paring the system has not resolved the issue. I was charging the car and it shut down. Contacted Tesla. Was told it takes 3-4 weeks to get an inverter. I’m not...

    Problems with Home Energy Gateway App

    I finally was able to set up a wifi connection to my home internet network. Since my gateway celllular connection is still coming on only from 2pm -8pm give or take an hour, I was only able to access the TEG wifi during those times only. It was during that time that I was able to log in and...

    Problems with Home Energy Gateway App

    Thank you everyone for all the helpful replies. I can't think of any other devices that I've added recently. I did hit the reset button several times on the gateway but didn't seem to resolve the issue. So the sudden loss of cellular data seems strange to me as the past year I have never had...

    Since earlier this month, my app has been sporadically working. I noticed that it only works during around 2-8 pm or so. Anytime outside of those ours shows the data is unavailable. I have reached out to Tesla and they cannot figure it out either. I tried resetting the Gateway but it still...
