    HW4 auto wipers seem drastically improved

    I had a discussion with the mobile service tech this morning. As usual, he could do nothing. He admitted that Tesla service is a mess because they are not concerned about the customers complaint but just the number of service tickets. I said that I filed for service just to let Tesla know...

    HW4 auto wipers seem drastically improved

    I have constantly complained about auto rain sensing not working as it is dangerous if that is your setting. After another bout of rain I again complained to Tesla service and the same mobile service tech will arrive tomorrow. Anxious to see if his story changes as software updates do nothing.

    2023 MS range!!!

    I always laugh when I see range mentioned in specifications on Tesla vehicles. I recently went on a one thousand mile trip from Florida to Maryland. I mostly traveled on I95 and used auto pilot set at a speed of 80 mph. I left Florida with the battery charged to 100 % and let Tesla...

    Driver seat stuck full back

    The latest software update did nothing to correct my seat problem but I followed the suggestion to perform a seat recalibration. After the recalibration we are now able to have all the seat memory settings work again. It is a shame that mobile service did not know enough to try the seat...

    2017-75 vs 2023

    I had a 2017 S 100D for 5 years and sold it last year for a new 2022. I have had it now for one year and about 10000 miles. I mostly charged at home so I only miss the free supercharging when I take a long trip. However, the 250kw chargers get the job done a lot faster. I like the yoke...

    Driver seat stuck full back

    If you are the only driver it will stay at your position. If you have a second driver with different seat settings the seat will not readjust. Seat back works fine, just the seat will not relocate.

    Driver seat stuck full back

    I had Tesla support visit this morning to try and solve the seat malfunction problem. He tried to fix it by disconnecting the 12-volt lithium battery located under the hood. That is kind of a master cleanup of software but still did not help. He blamed the problem's on the last FSD software...

    Article on costs of EV compared to ICE

    I purchased my first S in 2017 and just received my second S last month. The reason I purchase Tesla is because they are a fun car to drive. However, people are always asking me what is my range and I fumble with the answer. I always show % battery and never range. I should reply with how...

    Functional (!) benefits of the yoke?

    After 2 weeks with the new S, both my wife and I love all the new features. (previously owned a 2017 S). The yoke is great on NAV when I do long stretches on I95 or the turnpike. Yes, U-turns and parallel parking would be difficult but I rarely do either.

    Premium Connectivity Included

    Just to update my post on streaming apps I had inadvertently shut them off when I wanted to not show the paid subscription apps. I guess I will wait until my free premium subscription is about to retire before re-subscribing. Sure miss my FREE supercharging on my old 2017 model!

    Premium Connectivity Included

    I just received my new model S last week and the app states that my Premium Connectivity expires 8/24/23. Yet it says subscribe underneath and asks for money. It says the same thing in the car. I only have Tidal and streaming as my music apps beside radio. What gives with Tesla?

    TUNEIN gone!

    I just checked in the car and on my app and it says that I need to subscribe to premium connectivity. I had ordered the car in the beginning of January and it should have FREE premium connectivity for one year, unless Tesla changed policy again. I am bringing it in for service on Sunday so...

    TUNEIN gone!

    I just picked up my new 2022 Tesla model S and no Tunein radio app. I also noticed that the streaming service no longer recognizes local radio stations. I traded my 2017 model S and It was able to use streaming for access to some local am and fm radio stations. It was great on long drives to...

    Electrical warnings - Car Won’t Start

    Just to complete my story, My car came back to life about 3-hours later with no indication that anything happened. Service never did call. When I traded the car in last week I told them the story but they did not care. Perhaps the car will be somebody else's problem. Going in for service...

    Electrical warnings - Car Won’t Start

    I was just reviewing this thread after the same series of electrical problems happened on my 2017 model S. Fortunately, it happened in the garage when my wife tried to go shopping. Thank goodness for my Audi Q5 to still have a car that works. I am now awaiting a call from service to schedule...

    Lane changes in autopilot

    I have a 2017 S 100D and like others, paid for the FSD package. Like others, when I use NoA I confirm the lane change as the computer makes some poor recommendations. Recently, any attempt to move into the adjacent left lane results in hesitation, swaying back and forth between lanes. Drives...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Okay, I filled out all the required information. Now I will wait six months. I went to Aventura Mall in Florida yesterday to actually sit in a new model S at the Tesla store. I talked to the sales person about the new software as everybody is complaining about it. I asked what happened to the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I am amazed at the chatter on this forum topic!! I placed an order for a new model S the other day to replace my ageing 2017 model S 100D. Not many options but I did spring for a seat color change and the FSD. In 2017 Tesla provided me with a model S for a full weekend test drive, try and get...

    New UI for pre-refreshed model S? Holiday update

    My 2017 S 100D is definitely getting fewer software updates. Today I received 2021.36.5.1 and it only provided parking improvements and driver profiles. None of the Christmas goodies that I read about. I guess I will have to place my order for the 2022 model. I have been waiting for updates...

    HEPA Filter Replacement

    I had the mobile service show up promptly at 8 am this morning and it took him all of 10 minutes to remove the old filter and install the new one. Just shows that if you know what you are doing it is a breeze. I could have gone longer as I live in a rural area of Florida with clean air. Four...

    HEPA Filter Replacement

    I did post a service request asking for the price of the filter and how much for the install. They said the filter would cost $220 and $35 for the install by mobile service. I thought that the labor charge was a bargain compared to the hassle of ripping the frunk apart. It is scheduled for...

    HEPA Filter Replacement

    The Tesla app has no provisions for asking questions. I could enter a service request and wait for a response or drive 40 miles to the Service Center.

    HEPA Filter Replacement

    I have searched this forum for relevant information but came up short. I have a 2017 model S with Biodefence mode and 29000 miles on the odometer. Last year I upgraded both computers at Tesla Service and asked them to replace the HEPA filter. They replaced the cabin filter but not the HEPA...

    Latest firmware update caused the problem. Service center reinstalled the firmware today.

    2020 S blank dash and display - what to check?

    I had an identical problem Sunday with all screens blank on my 2017 S with updated MCU2 and FSD computer. It was towed to the dealer and they determined it was caused by a software update. The fix was to reinstall the software.

    Suggested Tesla Supercharger locations in Florida

    I agree with Bobbo8, there are no supercharger stations in Martin County. I understand that the Wawa station on Kanner Hwy near I95 and turnpike is supposed to get supercharger stalls.

    Is anyone impressed with the overly-hyped "holiday update"?

    I agree with "vapor trail" that we need some substantial updates. The last round of updates provide "junk" that I have no use for. Let's focus on actual care safety and performance issues. I t appears the everybody has forgotten about the old promise of having FSD.

    Can I Add the Hepa Filter Myself?

    During a recent service visit I asked to have the HEPA filter changed. They told me it did not have to be changed until six years, my car is vintage 2017. However, they did change the cabin filter for $17.55, $8.75 labor $8.80 filter. Mixed messages on these filters. I should have asked for...

    Whats new with 2020.20.1

    Perhaps the autopilot team was diverted to SpaceX. Maybe after the crew returns safely they can get back to making NoA work.

    Poll: Is FSD Worth the Cost?

    Lots of feedback on this topic with most unhappy with NOA. When my wife uses our 2017 S 100D she does not use NOA. I use it as a novelty to see what it will do this time as it has a mind of its own. My S is now pretty obsolete in regards to all the new hardware with uncertainty on hardware...

    Elon Confirms S & X Are Chopped Liver

    I recently bought a 2019 Audi Q5 Prestige for hauling my kayaks on trips. The Audi has some features that I would like on my S but it cannot compare in most categories. The simplicity of the Tesla in operation and setup is far superior to the Audi's complex set of menus, buttons and switches...

    Why updates don't come as often anymore...

    My Tesla is a June 2017 model and I have not seen an update since December last year, version 2018.50.6 That is probably the longest stretch without an update since I bought the car.

    Software Update 2018.50.x

    Yes, 50.6 on my S100D today with a capability to turn on seat warming remotely, does me no good in Florida. I have not driven since the update.

    Atari games coming . . .

    Ridiculous, my grand kids may like it but it is of no use to me. So much needs to be done to TACC and software people are wasting their time on this crap. How long do I wait for some solid improvements?

    Firmware 17.24

    Firmware 17.24

    I brought my 100D in for its annual service and it stated in the report that "as a goodwill service the 100D was updated to firmware 17.24 to increase performance." The service manager said the update was sensed when the car was placed into service. She could not explain how this update...

    I also agree that the new maps are terrible in shades of gray. Let's at least have some blue water.

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    Nice that this new update shows cars in adjacent lanes but I see the same thing with my eyes and don't have to look at the dash. However, I do not have eyes on the side or back of my head. Wouldn't it be slick to provide some useful video of our surroundings. How about making some use of...
