    Stuck on Safety Score program version 1.2

    Not sure if this is a serious question or not, but I'll answer it. G-force is calculated when taking turns so, yes, it could negatively affect your premium. I just have a simple 75D so launching isn't something I need to think about. Version 2.0 does ping you if you go over 85 mph. 1.2 does...

    Stuck on Safety Score program version 1.2

    Ok, found my answer. After an incredible 45 minute long wait with Tesla Insurance, I spoke with Glenn who told me in short that version 2.0 has to be approved by each individual state's commission that oversees vehicle insurance. Currently, only two states are on Version 2.0. Glenn also said...

    Stuck on Safety Score program version 1.2

    2.0 is supposedly better because they have changed the weighting of late night driving. Example - driving between 10-11p is better than 2-3a. So they say.

    Stuck on Safety Score program version 1.2

    Hey all trying to figure out what it takes to get onto Safety Score Beta 2.0. Just signed up with Tesla Insurance last month. 2016 Model S (late build) Firmware 2023.6.11 Tesla App version 4.19 From what I read I feel like I should be on 2.0. The reason I’m wanting to know is that my wife...

    Helping a Buddy looking for used P100D - Thoughts on this vehicle/dealership?

    Hiya all. My buddy has finally decided on purchasing a used P100D. I found this one for him and think it's a GREAT deal...

    Headlight doesn't shut down during power-off & no left signal!

    Yes. Open a request with mobile service and ask them to check that the headlight controllers took/didn't take the latest software. That was exactly my issue. A re-push of the software and install fixed it.

    Headlight doesn't shut down during power-off & no left signal!

    This made me laugh because I've had two BMWs that have done that. LOL

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    I guess I should have added as far as the MCU and new hardware, like others have stated, it's night vs day the difference. Definitely worth the $1500 (or $2000). Now I really want to get FSD. Just gotta hold out until it's a subscription based service (currently have EAP, so I have most of...

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    Got my car upgraded and I wish I could say it was seamless, but alas, it was not. BTW, if you are in Colorado, I honestly can say stay away from the Superior Service Center. I've had so many problems with them. To be fair, they DO take care of everything but a little QA of their own work...

    Headlight doesn't shut down during power-off & no left signal!

    I actually opened up a request with Tesla. They told me my car did not take the most recent update (specifically the headlight controller) and they re-pushed the update and asked me to reinstall. Did so and the issue went away. This makes three times now that 2021.4.10.1 has been installed to...

    Headlight doesn't shut down during power-off & no left signal!

    I just had the same thing happen to me! I had my car in for MCU2 upgrade and they said I could upgrade to the latest firmware available (2021.4.10.1) and I went out to check on it and the left headlight was on. Left blinker also doesn't work.

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    I contacted my SC about it and they said they would indeed honor the 1500 price point as I had already scheduled it prior to the price change.

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    So i have a quote/estimate for 1500USD for the upgrade on 3/23. What are the chances they try to change the pricing on me?

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    Tesla contacted me about my MCU2 upgrade on 3/23 of this month, confirming they will upgrade my HW from 2.0 to 3.0 included in the purchase. After taxes the total is 1629.53, which includes a line item "Additional items for Infotainment Upgrade" with a value of 0.00, which I can only assume is...

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    So I put a call into my service center. I am told that the 1500 MCU2 upgrade DOES include 3.0 HW upgrades for 2.x Model S/X. He read me the information directly from their internal documents (internal because I asked him to email it to me and he said he couldn't because it was internal)...

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    Sorry for maybe repeating the same question others of had, but I kinda need it spelled out for me from those who have had it done. I have a late 2016 MS (AP2, HW2.0) with MCU1. If I pay the 1500USD to go to MCU2, does Tesla upgrade me from HW2.0 to 3.0? I currently have EAP but not FSD.

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    Slow start, slow response. Now with replacement eMMC it's SUPER fast. Nearly instant response, maps build out quickly, switching between icons also nearly instant. Very glad I was able to get this done.

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    Just got my Model S back from Tesla Repair (got sideswiped by a 'vette, :( ) They did the eMMC replacement and WOW my touchscreen is so much more responsive now. It's hard to believe it's an MCU1.

    Battery Replacement Nightmare. Would like input!

    Update: Should be getting my car back today. I asked the service manager what happens to the damaged battery and was told, to my surprise, Tesla gets to keep it. I said that's surprising and I'd think I'd get to own it (since it's MY car) or the insurance company would get it (since they paid...

    Battery Replacement Nightmare. Would like input!

    Update: Insurance company is going to cover the repair so I will pay my deductible (collision, as many of you stated correctly). The sad part is Tesla called me and said they were delivered a 90Kwh battery and not a 75Kwh battery...So another two weeks minimum of waiting... :-(

    For you (and everyone else) here's the actual invoice showing the battery cost

    Battery Replacement Nightmare. Would like input!

    You are absolutely right. At this point, pending the adjustor's estimate, it's either going to cost me $500 (collision) or $250 (comprehensive) for a brand new (refurbed) battery.

    Battery Replacement Nightmare. Would like input!

    I asked Tesla bout it being the towing service Roadside Assistance called out. They just shrugged it off. I think the circular marks you refer to are just dried water and grime from the road. Could be wrong though.

    Battery Replacement Nightmare. Would like input!

    The question then to me is, what can someone hit that does THIS amount of damage and doesn't affect drivability? That shear plate is warped to hell. Also remember, this damage is located by the rear driver's side tire. No damage to the front of the car in any way. I'd be inclined to say...

    Battery Replacement Nightmare. Would like input!

    What's amazing to me is the amount of damage though. A pothole I wouldn't think would have warped that shear plate the way it shows in the last picture (i was told it was already bent like that prior to the battery removal). And that piece of metal actually missing from the casing...what does...

    Battery Replacement Nightmare. Would like input!

    So, on 12/13 I was driving my MS 75D to visit my wife at work and I received the warning "Vehicle may not restart - Service is required" message. Got to my wife's job, parked the car and sure enough, it would not move (screen would power up but car said there was an issue with voltage). Called...

    Finally at point to purchase a used Model S...Need advice!

    Thanks for your reply. I never said it did have FUSC and you are correct it stating it won't have it since Tesla has basically done away with it anyways. I did say it had premium data. Guess we'll see if I keep it or lose the premium connectivity

    Finally at point to purchase a used Model S...Need advice!

    I wound up going with the 75D. Good price negotiated, good trade, and I know that Tesla will fix the yellowing on the screen with their UV tool. As a bonus not mentioned, the car comes with the subzero/cold weather package and lifetime premium connectivity. It seemingly does NOT have FSD as...

    Finally at point to purchase a used Model S...Need advice!

    Yep, I'm exclusively looking for AP2, which all three cars have. I'm sad the 60D doesn't have the ability to upgrade the battery to 75D but that doesn't mean that if I purchased it Tesla wouldn't (re)unlock the ability to purchase it in the future. That said, the other two options are solid...

    Finally at point to purchase a used Model S...Need advice!

    Just found out that the Tesla is not currently offering to unlock 60D to 75D, which is odd. But that was the answer straight from the horse's mouth, so I suppose that narrows my results down to two.

    Finally at point to purchase a used Model S...Need advice!

    Good morning/afternoon/evening Tesla family! It's been over two years since I introduced myself and said I was thinking about getting a Tesla. Well, the time has come and I'm in the market for a used Model S, either 2016 or 2017, with AP2/FSD. So, I've done research via EV-CPO (thanks!) and...
