Which warranty are you referencing? I wasn't talking about the 8yr battery and drive unit warranty, rather the bumper to bumper warranty.

Sorry I've been away from computers for a bit. I dont remember all of the details but I my last EW paid for an expensive component of the AC system and also had an expensive repair to take care of something when I got a "car might not restart warning", I vaguely recall tech saying that it...

My MS will be 6 years old in June and my Tesla extended warranty will expire. The vehicle has 42,300 miles on it. I love this car and can not afford to replace it with another MS. I can get another 2 year, 67,000m comprehensive warranty (Xcelerate) for $3500 or 3 year, 78000m for $3800. Any...

My 2018 Model S has quite suddenly developed a very bad smell in the cabin when I first enter. The smell goes away pretty quickly after air filter is on. I had a mobile service guy come and change the filter. There was mouse scat in the filter, but the filter change did not fix the issue. I took...

Not C470, but I drive from Boulder to CO Springs once a month on I25, I experience one or two startling episodes of Phantom braking each time. I really haven't paid particular attention to exact location.

I live in Boulder and in the last month have had two service appts at Superior SC. Everything handled by texts via app, no phone calls. Conveying info over texts takes a lot longer than one phone call. Several iterations were required to make sure details were straight. Also I never saw anyone...

I have a SC appt tomorrow and asked them if they could sell me a replacement key fob. They said that 2018 MS key fobs were "extremely constrained" and that they could not do it. I'm not sure what the deal is, usual Tesla WTF. Maybe so, however that came from another MS owners experience buying...

Great, Thank you!

Does anyone know what Tesla charges to replace a 2018 Model S key fob? I see there are some available on Ebay but AFAIK if they have not been de-activated that they can not be re-programed.

Later it seems

anybody know when this SC will re-open?

My next Tesla will be a M3 for sure and I'm wondering if it would be a better value to trade in my 2018 MS P100D now or wait until later. The car runs fine, has 37,000 miles and I love it but will not be able to afford another MS. How are current trade in values for 2018 MS P100Ds? My car also...

Same thing here. I got the "vehicle may not restart" notice, scheduled a service and diagnostics revealed the battery coolant heater. I was able to drive it to a SC one hour away and had car back two days later, .fixed under extended warranty with a $200 deductible.

The Tidal music app has disappeared and a screen reboot doesn't bring it back. I've seen some older threads about this but nothing recent. Any one else having this difficulty. It was working for a while, logged into my Tidal account, but a few days ago, I brought it up and had the spinning...

What kinds of issues are involved with deciding the future of this SC? Anyone have an estimate of when it may be back and running? Months, years? Is it a front burner or back burner priority for Tesla?

Except that too many times the voice controls don't work, due to no connectivity or something else. Voice controls have been iffy for me for so long that I've developed the habit of not using them. Maybe V11 has improved voice control but why does this require such a degradation of manual UI...

Thats exactly what happens with mine "call Karen" shows up on the screen and then goes away just as if I said "blah Karen". Does yours say "Call xxx" which an upper case C? Mine is lower case. Please keep us updated if you have a service done.

Thanks, but I did try that as well with the same negative result.

Ever since the last update (2020.48.35.5 842a95863251) the "call xxx" voice command doesn't function. It appears on the screen correctly, except it shows "call Karen" instead of "Call Karen" and then does nothing. All other phone functions work, recent calls, contacts, etc. All other voice...

Its working now. I did the "forget this device" dance for the third time. I forgot the old adage "Third time is the charm" :)

Thanks derbydave, yes, the "show notifications" I mentioned in the OP is the iPhone Tesla BT equivalent of "message access" that you mention.

I have an iPhone 12pro and my text display is not functioning on my Model S, everything else phone wise works fine. I have disconnected/reconnected several times and have also done "forget this device" on both phone and Tesla BT screens. "Show notifications" is ON on my phone Tesla BT settings...

My sentiments exactly!

I have found evidence as recent as Oct 2020 that people received a new touchscreen with their $2500 upgrade. My SC is not responding to my inquiry. Is there an alternate way to communicate or ask about this ? I have struggled with communications with Tesla for things like questions. I know how...

Thank you. I just checked my invoice and they did deduct $250 for no new screen, but in their original text to me they said that a new screen would be an additional $750 over the original $2500. I would appreciate to hear from anyone who recently obtained this upgrade and received a new screen...

Thanks, is there anything official that I can reference regarding this. They definitely told me a new screen would be an additional $700

I just had the MCU1->MCU2 upgrade. They asked me if I wanted a new screen for an additional $700 (I turned down the new screen). Is this normal? I thought that I had seen others getting a new screen with the $2500 upgrade?

Thank so much everyone. You have overwhelmingly convinced me . I know just where to take it to have it looked at.

Thanks, I looked into that and cant really say that its not a rock except I have not been on a dirt road for 3 weeks. I noticed the problem today when I returned from a 70 mile highway trip (no dirt roads) and the brakes worked fine. Using the brakes does not change the sound, in case that...

My car developed a sudden very loud screech with occasional bangs whenever the wheels are moving. This occurs in either forward or reverse and comes from both sides of the rear of the car. Here is a video with the sound: I've made a service appt. but the soonest I could get is three weeks...

Apologies if this question has been discussed somewhere in the 219 pages. Is there any information about when the MCU2 infotainment upgrade will be offered to vehicles with AP2.5, enhanced AP, but have not purchased FSD ?

After 2 years of always connecting, my Tesla app will no longer connect to my 2018 Model S. Current firmware is 2020.12.11.5 I have deleted and reinstalled app and signed in and out several times. I have confirmed that my iPhone 8 and Tesla are on same wifi network. For what its worth, the...

I had to drive my wife's Audi a couple of days ago, its been quite a while since I've driven an ICE. The second biggest difference I noticed was how much I rely on regenerative braking as a means of vehicle control. I realized the biggest difference between the Tesla and the ICE some time after...

It might be important to add that only AP2.5/MCU1 people with FSD are being upgraded now. I am AP2.5/MCU1 no FSD and was told I am not yet eligible.

Am I correct that Tesla will do the infotainment upgrade for all FSD owners (regardless of AP version) and then start the upgrades for non FSD owners ?

I am really looking forward to getting this upgrade, but having enhanced AP 2.5, I will not be paying the additional $4K for FSD. Hopefully they won't make us non FSD owners wait too long.

Ahhh-- Thank you for that clarification.

I'll have to check that one. I'm a bit surprised that "energy savings" doesn't cover all the bases. It would be nice to have one button that turned off everything that wasn't necessary to keep the car alive. Assuming I had everything tuned off that wasn't necessary and a new fully charged...

Thanks, this makes the most sense to me.

It has to last at least as long as it takes them to open the invitation to non FSD owners, right ? AFAIK, there is no way to commit, ie pay, for the upgrade until you receive the invitation.

Thanks all-- I don't have Teslafi and was 20 miles away from the nearest cellular signal, far away from wifi, my only device was my phone which was turned off and I don't have sentry mode on. The average winds over the week may very well have been significantly higher, but wouldn't energy...

One year ago I parked my 2018 P100D outside for 5 days at a mountain retreat. During that time outdoor temps ranged from 20 to 50F. IIRC, my car lost about 25 miles during that time. I have just returned from a 5 day retreat at a similar location with similar temperature range as last year. This...

I thought MCUs could fail and still have a drivable car ?

\ I won't go so far as saying "you guys are the best", not by a long shot, however, I am very grateful for this upgrade opportunity and will do it as soon as possible. Like you, I'd spend a couple hundred more for the FM as well. I'm not sure what really goes on behind the curtain, but it...

You will understand the Performance shine when you take someone for their first, full on, 0-60 ride !! I wish I would have compiled a video of all the reactions that have occurred when I did this. It truly is a unique experience. Oddly, I never do a full on 0-60 by myself anymore, but love doing...

Interesting scenario. I guess the question is whether there is any (or how much) profit for Tesla in the $2500 upgrade ?

Yep ! I am grateful for that and will do it despite the loss of FM.

Thanks all for the comments so far. In my original post I neglected to mention that I do have EAP. It seems the MCU upgrade and FSD are completely separate purchases with the only advantage possibly being the complimentary HW3 upgrade include with the MCU upgrade if you have FSD. For me the MCU...

Thanks, I have posted in that thread also. I posted here, because I'm interested in others (AP2.5, MCU1, no FSD) thoughts about adding FSD (or not) when they upgrade to MCU2. Part of me is hoping to be talked into adding FSD :).

I listen to a lot of classical music and find that the local public radio classical station has a nice diversity, more so than I get on streaming, plus they often talk about the songs or the composers. It is a different experience than streaming. That said I do listen to streaming classical a...
