This supercharger is buried by a snowbank in Grimsby ON, Canada. Talk about being ICEd

I needed to replace Goodyear OEM tires at about 40k. Model S -- 245 45 R19. Gee, who knew that inadvertent over-inflation would cause premature baldness. Lesson learned. Based largely on the article (link below) with some Consumer Reports reasonable ratings (other than stopping on...

The following is Cadillac's brief summary of their Super Cruise feature. What surprised me is the use of LiDAR map data. We know Caddy doesn't have LiDAR sensors -- but I wasn't aware their algorithms use LiDAR generated map data. Q: Does Autopilot use high definition maps in its...

MS in navigate-on-autopilot did a relatively hard brake when approaching this overhead freeway sign. Happened to me at same spot before. Makes me think that this was part of "fix" for infamous autopilot accident where it didnt detect emergency vehicle across road. Algorithm now overcompensates...

Hi MS in navigate-on-autopilot did a relatively hard brake when approaching this overhead freeway sign. Happened to me at same spot before. Makes me think that this was part of "fix" for infamous autopilot accident where it didnt detect emergency vehicle across road -- and they have...

With version 2019.40.50.1 (and later) I have noticed significant improvement in lane change in autopilot, and navigate on autopilot. Previously, if I initiated a lane change with turn signal or stalk, it would take about 5 seconds to "think it over", sometimes slowing down to "think about it"...

Hi All Many new cars come with blind spot detection whereby mirror lights up when another car is in blind spot -- a great visual cue. Has made me wonder why Tesla MS doesnt have this feature. So how are we supposed to know when someone in our blindspot -- look down at dash to study...

I was driving on back road highways in N Pennsylvania the last few days. I notice that when in autopilot, the car would automatically slow before entering a sharper curve or when visibility was limited ahead due to cresting a hill. I had NOT noticed this auto-slowing before. (note: I...

I've had my MS for 9 months and 12k miles. A new and disconcerting experience yesterday. Driving on highway in good weather - on autopilot (not NOA). Got an sudden message to take control - then all displays went to black - dash and center console. After 5 seconds, the Telsa logo came...

Hi In last week, when I engage R, the backup camera image on interface screen is solid black. Since it will take me some days to book service appointment, so wonder if anyone else has encountered. No apparent damage with actual camera. Lense is clean. Perhaps a new software load...

Hi Off topic for most of you - but it does show to importance of aerodynamic drag - or lack thereof. I have official Tesla roof rack installed. Without ability to do controlled experiment for temp and route - I think loss of efficiency from rack alone is negligible. This weekend I had...

Buffalo winter has been particularly nasty (maybe you think they are all). Many large snow falls and several days with temps 5-15 F (down to -20 C). Lessons learned: 1) Model S handles very well in snow. I have Michelin X-Ice Winter tires. Handling in snow is secure - on par or...

Hi First winter with MS. Was parked outside last week in -1F temps with considerable snow. Next morn, I could not drive car F or R. Wheels just felt locked up. A warning message on dash about parking brakes - and seek Tesla service. On second try five mins later, brakes did release...

Another nasty night around Buffalo area. Driving on I-190 / I-290. Steady rain and poor lane markings. Roads just looked "black" to the eye. Since I was struggling seeing lanes, I turned on autopilot to see how it would perform. I was very impressed. Tracked lanes well with minimal...

I've been on upstate NY road trip through recent cold snap (West Mass to Buffalo). Have encountered consistent issues that I assume are common with others in cold temps? Temps have generally been single digit F (-15 or so C) Charging has not been possible at overnight stops (hotels...

Hi apologies if this was already posted on this forum - but I didnt find in searches. A group called "Two Bit da Vinci" has done some outstanding research and videos on Telsa battery technology. I learned tons about how it all works. While the title suggests all about Model 3 - lots that...
