Decided to finally get around to replacing my squeaky front upper control arms . Just need to decide to use the Tesla factory ones or can someone suggest a better quality or equivalent one after market ? RWD model S 2017. thank you.

I’ve seen plenty of videos and how to for the early versions. But never a Gen 3 with the hall effect sensor. I got as far as sliding the shaft out to put the new gear on and realized it won’t slide out because the hall sensor is attached at the end, and there appears to be no way to remove it...

V11 Anyone know why the charge settings page under “controls” is displayed now every morning? It’s a minor annoyance now that I have to close it each morning after backing out. The car charges the night before and finish’s like always but it didn’t used to have that screen displayed after...

Maybe more of a statement than a question. I just learned by accident that a few of the games actually work while the car is being driven. my kids were able to play the latest one that came with the software update. And wife can play solitaire on road trips. I find it interesting that some do...

I would seriously consider getting a new long range S right now. But one key thing I keep circling back to is I paid for FSD on my car already and I really enjoy having it. I don’t want to pay for that again on another car. I feel like it should travel with ME......NOT the car. I think it’s...

I have searched all through the forums here and can’t really find just what I’m looking for. My drivers seat for a couple years now off and on (mostly on nowadays) will make a squeak noise (sounds like a cricket) when driving. Makes me crazy on a quiet morning drive sipping my coffee! I have...

Has anyone experienced an AC motor failure from over use or should I say earlier than would be expected because of living in hot climates where the COP(cabin overheat protection) is running ALL day long. 5 days a week my car sits at work in Texas outside and temps are typically 100f. Seems...

As the title states. Is there a “good” reason why the car immediately turns off as soon as soon as you shut the door? It drives me a little insane when I’m getting in with my family and kids and close the doors to walk around to my side or maybe when I’m just putting something in my backseat...

I’m a bit surprised not many are discussing this latest software update that appears to have regressed back to the time of swerving (ping ponging) in the lane. At first I thought it was part of the new passing large trucks and moving over a bit in the lane thing. I hate that new feature...

This is the feature I was most interested in. But alas I’m afraid I won’t be seeing it. Guessing it’s only for cars with a PMA motor. ie: model 3s and some of the newer S/X dang. I hate being left behind because of hardware. love my car but looking forward to some day being able to get newer...

I got V10 last night(underwhelmed). But that’s another story, unless maybe it’s something new with DashCam. I hit something n the road on the way to work. Small damage to the front Fascia. It happened so fast I’m not sure what it was. Doesn’t matter all that much now I guess but after I got...

i have seen a couple of the latest iPhone 13.1 software reviews alluding to fixing some auto play audio in the background issues. Got me wondering if this would help the auto playback in background some of us have when entering the car. Has anyone had an opportunity to try this and provide...

Does anyone know with any certainty or have some way of checking it when the COP is “running” if it just uses fans or actually uses AC compressor? Or maybe it has some strategy of using one or the other when necessary. Curiosity is getting me.

I’ve had the sides and rear done for some time now and love it. But I had to post and say how amazing this stuff is and what a difference it made in the heat reduction when I just added it to the windshield also. Just a huge difference in driving home from work now in afternoon sun beaming...

So I have not seen this do anything different for last couple of versions (yes I have enabled it) I have been watching 16.3.x roll out for over a week now with hundreds of people updating according to TeslaFi. Still have not seen anything different than the way it’s always been. I am not in...

I’m writing this post a bit as a way to vent but also to hear others thoughts on this. I am at wits end with trying to drive to work using AP lately on 2019.8.5. First day or so I thought I liked it and called it an improvement. But I take it back. After a couple weeks now in Dallas Fort Worth...

anyone who has this issue will know exactly wha I’m referring to. We had some threads covering it awhile back in some older software releases. It doesn’t appear to be every drive for me like it was but enough for me to tell it’s there again. As I begin a navigation and it’s calculating the route...

Just got back from road trip and had some time to play with energy graph. I’m wondering if anyone has any information about how the estimated arrival % at the destination under the TRIP tab works. What information does it use to calculate this number? Does it use the last Wh/mi average from...

Spoiler alert. Ok the web browser isn’t perfect. But it’s a far sight better than it was, which was useless. I can actually load and surf the net. It’s a little slow as would be expected I guess but it doesn’t lock and just time out as before. I tried several different websites and they all...

After years of consideration, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) finally implemented what has now been known as the “quiet car rule” to force automakers to add a pedestrian noise device to its electric and hybrid vehicles. “From article on electrek “ One of my favorite things about the...

Title sort of says it all I guess. I was told very little about it at delivery and didn’t know to research it. I have since used these forums to learn a great deal about it and how maybe to better utilize and in what conditions etc. but it has mostly been ON for a year straight sadly. I feel...

Hopefully not a repeat of a thread already started. I couldn’t find one. I am on a road trip with family and while getting ready in the room cranked up the climate and seat heaters. (It’s 30F here). When we came down to jump in it was nice and warm inside but the seats were cold. It was very...

Ok I think of myself as fairly tech savvy and pretty good at figuring things out. But for the life of me getting a comfortable heat setting with the climate controls baffles me. So when I just put the system in AUTO It makes good heat quickly and efficiently. But it turns on. AC, RECIRCULATE...

I have been fooling around lately trying to figure out why my slacker streaming audio is skipping and stuttering and I was troubleshooting the data speed into the car. Long story short I can run FAST.com on the car browser on WiFi (router 5 feet away) and get 8.0 mgb down. Then the phone next...

trying to find a good way to describe it. kinda like its not buffering the music like it used to so it sort of skips and jitters every so often during playback. Its Random but usually every 20-30 sec or so. Ive tried everything i can to fix or isolate the cause. It started on .39 (I'm on .40...

So it’s not a perfect solution but for many owners based on their likes or preferences. There seems to be a way to have a partial music app(the header portion) AND a second app of your choice on the screen together in the lower 3/4 of screen. See video it will make more sense. Makes me wonder...

I know this has been discussed a few times. But I’m wondering if anyone knows of a way to help alleviate this a bit. I washed and cleaned the car and put away last night in garage. In the morning the brakes were so frozen to the calipers the normal “creep” letting off the brake wouldn’t get it...

Got this on the screen this morning, the same manner as you might see release notes. (I did not get an update last night tho) still on 36.2 for a couple weeks now. I’ve always had the free unlimited supercharging. Just curious if anyone else has seen this?

Any owners in the DFW area out there? I drive everyday on the 35W (and a couple other places in the area) where there has been new expressways in the past year or so opened. I used to be able to enjoy AP every morning on the way to work helping take the load off of my sleepy ass while I sip...
