    Everything wrong with V11 update / user interface.

    I've owned my Model S for almost 4 years. During that time I have eagerly awaited each new software/firmware update. I have never been disappointed, until now. V11 is awful!! A total POS. I deeply regret having updated and I wish I could roll it back to my previous version!

    Feature/2021.4.21

    I believe you need the Raven motors to have a "hold" mode to select. However, I now understand my earlier confusion. I recently had my car in for service and was issued a loaner. The loaner had one pedal driving enabled which brought the car to a full stop without having to engage TACC. I...

    Yes, I have FSD, HW3 and firmware 2021.4.18.2 Did you have to change any settings to select this?

    Feature/2021.4.21

    Anyone have any idea on how FSD v.9 is going to work on pre-raven motor cars like mine? I have a 2018 S100D. The regen will slow it down to about 5 mph but then I have to step on the brakes to bring the car to a complete stop. I can't imagine how v9 will handle intersections if it can't stop...

    Phone app no longer has home solar info

    O.K., I just called Tesla service and got a recorded message that there was a system wide problem with the app and that Tesla was working on a repair.

    Phone app no longer has home solar info

    So I went to check the status of my solar panel production on the Tesla app this morning and got the message that home solar info was no longer part of the Tesla app! Anyone know what's going on? This feature has been there since I installed Tesla solar over a year ago.

    Solar Panel and Powerwall Near Boston

    I agree with jjrandorian. Your budget *might* work if you re-visit Tesla's subscription program since you could get the PV panels installed for no upfront cost (only the monthly rental) and use the rest of your budget for the powerwall. However, you would still NOT be able to charge your M3...

    Greatest Achievements of Public Policy

    I love your choices! Thank you for starting this thread. While not as far-reaching and impact-full as many of your choices, I would add the GPS satellite network to the list.

    Tesla now RENTS solar panels

    Congrats! Sounds great. I'm missing the AZ sunshine (used to live in Tucson). Right now in MA if it's not cloudy, it's raining and if it's not raining then it's snowing; which is the worst since the panels make nothing until the snow melts which sometimes takes days and days of wasted sunshine!

    Tesla now RENTS solar panels

    We pay a total rate (generation fee plus distribution fee) of $0.26 per kWh. No change in rates for high versus low demand times.

    Tesla now RENTS solar panels

    In my case the system was installed on Friday, Oct. 25. City electrical inspection was performed and approved on Friday, Nov.1 (one week later) and city building inspection was performed and approved on Monday, Nov.4. Documents were then finalized and forwarded to my electric utility (National...

    Appt for HW 2.5 to 3.0 Retro tomorrow. Should I?

    No loss of data or settings. Watts per mile.....? Not sure, a little confusing. Before the upgrade, during the initial start of a drive (the first few tenths of a mile) my watts per mile would start out in the high 300s or low 400s and then settle down to the low 300s as I continued to drive...

    Premature tire wear from regen braking system

    I believe the OP's initial assertion is broadly correct. Standard brakes exert a force to slow the car down by creating friction between the rotor and the brake pads. As a result, the brake pads slowly wear down and need to be replaced periodically. Regenerative braking shifts that force to...

    Tesla now RENTS solar panels

    Sounds great! My install went very smoothly and I'm sure yours will too. Mine went "on-line", received PTO, about two weeks ago. It's been great fun monitoring solar production as well as how much electricity my house has been using. I can tell you that now I walk around the house turning...

    Energy Usage pulse - erroneous data?

    I sent an e-mail to Tesla Solar's customer care address with a copy of the screen grab I had posted above. So far, this was their response: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Upon review of your account, I do not see any errors being communicated at this time. The Gateway and...

    Energy Usage pulse - erroneous data?

    I'm getting a better feeling for what might be happening. I think there must be some kind of "cross-talk" between the sensors that report solar panel production and the house's electrical (ie., current draw) usage. Each of those apparent production spikes (and many others since I posted that...

    Energy Usage pulse - erroneous data?

    I recently had a medium (24 panel) Tesla subscription PV system installed. The system received PTO last Tuesday, and I have been watching it closely, using the Tesla app/gateway, ever since. The installation itself went very smoothly and despite it being late November in Massachusetts and...

    Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

    It takes 2.5 hours and yes you can wait while they perform the procedure. I strongly suggest you book the first available appointment in the morning (8 am in my case). I had the treatment done at the Watertown service center in Massachusetts and the treatment went smoothly and successfully...

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    I agree completely. I have a 2018 MS and I use AP all the time. In my case I have described its behavior as a 16 year old on a learner's permit. Probably reflects my state's age requirements to obtain a permit.

    Failed to go into reverse.

    Hmmm, maybe. I was pretty rattled since I was blocking traffic. I can't say for sure that I tried to step on the accelerator even though the display showed that I was still in Drive so what you hypothesize might be the answer. If it ever happens again, and I sincerely hope it does not, I will...

    Failed to go into reverse.

    First time I have experienced a seriously frightening bug! I was in the process of parallel parking on a very busy 2-lane road. I pulled up parallel to the car which was directly in front of the open spot into which I intended to park. The first indication I had that something was wrong was...

    Inventory 100D

    You didn't mention the year. I have a 2018 MS 100D with FSD. I absolutely LOVE the car. Besides the smooth ride, instant torque and power, the car constantly gets new features as a result of the over the air updates. It's almost like getting a new car every few weeks. Also, the driver...

    Flooring it...

    I understand that this is a model 3 forum and the model 3 may be better engineered than the MS. However, I just want to throw in the fact that my S had to have the CV joints on both front axles replaced due to hard acceleration.

    Uploaded data to Amazon?

    That would make me feel better. Can anyone confirm? Never mind, a quick google search on my part seems to confirm that Tesla does use AWS. In fact, it seems that their account was hacked last year for bitcoin mining.

    Uploaded data to Amazon?

    Yesterday my MS uploaded 1.5 gb of data to....... Amazon!? What's up with *that* and has anyone else experienced this? I understand, and agreed to, data sharing with Tesla under the assumption that the data would be used to improve future firmware updates. I did NOT agree to have my data...

    Car Changing Size on Screen

    It's new feature as of a few software versions ago. It is intended to give you better visibility of the display car's scans, brake lights, etc. The car will appear larger when you are on a two lane road and smaller when you are on a 4 lane highway because there is less to display on the former...

    Sentry thinks I'm the bad guy.

    Oh, I beg to differ! Deadpool is awesome!! BTW, my MS behaves the same way when sentry mode is active. I have learned to unlock the car using the key fob as I approach.

    Sentry Mode - Right camera not recording?

    With apologies for posting in Model 3 forum, my MS on 2019.8.5 has the same behavior. In my case front camera records well, right repeater usually records well but sometimes is severely pixelated on the lower third of the field. My left repeater manages to record 20 to 30% of the time, its...

    Head check vs Screen check

    I do both. The screen seems to be fine for detecting other cars that are in, or close to, your blind spot and that are moving at pretty close to your speed (just a little faster). However, if there is a car coming up really fast in the passing lane but is still too far back to trigger the...

    Spontaneous MCU reboot (while driving)

    So I, too, was recently upgraded to 2019.5.16 and this was the first time I experienced such a spontaneous re-boot. Might be a coincidence, might be related to the upgrade. I guess I'll have to wait and see if, and how often, it re-occurs though I suspect (hope) that I get upgraded to 2019.9...
