Appreciate the update. I'm ready to buy yet another set of tires soon. Just started going to Discount Tires with my other cars (got so sick of Costco), and came across these tires for my 2016 MS. Looks like you're on track to get about 28K before they hit 2/32, which seems to be about the most...

Although I haven't replaced the instrument cluster, I'm sure it's MUCH easier than the main touchscreen. Easier to get to, and I suspect is just a simple swap, whereas the touchscreen you have to remove it from the MCU, etc. No, you don't need to fix this for it to work, and no, you may not...

When you say your small screen has bubbles, do you mean your instrument cluster, or the large touchscreen? I replaced the touchscreen, not the IC. Got mine off eBay. The seller I used doesn't seem to have anymore (I just checked). Keep in mind a lot of screens on eBay have issues (one was...

My 2016 pre-refresh MS finally developed the bubbles of doom on the touchscreen. Since Tesla doesn’t replace just the screen, I went on the adventure of replacing it myself (didn’t want to drop a few grand on new MCU). Either I was having a really bad Google search day, or there really isn’t...

Nope, no goodwill around these parts. They only offered replacing MCU vs upgrade to MCU2, all at my expense. I'm way out of warranty. But yeah, should probably start using a sunscreen. I just replaced it yesterday and posting a DIY in a few....

Oh man, anyone? :)

Same here. There are a lot of similar posts. It makes me think they’re just swapping the entire MCU and screen during the recall rather than just swapping the eMMC. This can’t just be coincidence. I can guarantee I don’t have my original screen anymore. There’s nothing during that procedure that...

Hi All So my pre-refresh 2016 MS is finally getting bubbles on MCU touchscreen. I’m up for replacing it myself (I’ve already pulled it once to replace eMMC) but wondering where to get the replacement screen. I see a bunch on eBay. $280 seems to be the going price. Do you think I should grab...

Yes. Issue was waiting for IC / car to wake up on getting in, rather than the instant on that I was used to.

Oh wow. I had lost all of my settings during the upgrade (including Trip B stats which I had never reset since getting the car😭). When I re-did all my settings, I had turned off energy savings for my main profile, but apparently didn’t do that for my Easy Entry profile. Explains why it would...

Hi all. Something for you all to ponder as you continue to digest your turkey. I had my 2016 MS in to get eMMC upgrade a few weeks ago. Ever since, the car powers down every time I park and get out of the car. Does not affect the center touchscreen at all. That comes on as soon as I get in the...

So I had mine repaired by Tony in August. Fingers crossed it's covered. We'll see. BUT, I didn't get this email (2016 MS). Does that mean my vehicle isn't part of this?

I would (nicely) push Tesla to consider this under warranty, especially given how common this has become. Also, if you were having ANY symptoms prior to 3 weeks ago, it would help your case.

Our cars are basically the same. Mine is March 2016. We wouldn’t really benefit much from MCU2, so I didn’t feel it justified the 2600 price tag. Tesla was charging 1700 for an even MCU1 swap, but several have posted here 500 now that they are just swapping the Tegras. From what is sounds, many...

FWIW, as soon as I powered up after replacing, it downloaded 2020.24. Once I knew everything was working (took about 20 minutes for slacker to eventually start working, and I had to repair my phone), I updated and it’s been working great. Everything was saved (profiles, garage door, etc). Even...

Quick thumbs up to the guys at EV-Fixme. Mine died on 8/1 and just got it reassembled today. Most of the delay was USPS taking 9 days to take my bad Tegra from San Diego to LA (yes, that's 8 miles a day). I decided to do the disassembly myself. Given that 90 % of the DIY things I try end up in...

that thing is crazy hard to find. I thought it was a hose or wire. But nope. It’s there. Very frustrating that Tesla made such drastic changes of all these secret pulls. Each one seeming more difficult to find and operate. Oh well, the frunk is open and the 12v is out (that was another fun...

I think it’s all plastic from what I recall. I’ll look when I get home. I’m at the DMV. Yeah, it’s been that kind of day....

@ ucmndd -- thank you, but I can't seem to match up what's in the photo on page 24. I don't have a cable coming from the left (and there's not one that I can see in the "rear of the nosecone") -- I'm really starting to wonder if I even have a Tesla.... Nothing is matching up @murphy - how did...

I think those cig chargers are like 10 amps, so they don't blow the fuse

@ucmndd - mine is the nosecone, not refresh as in the video @ngng - good idea, I might give that a try. Would that work if the MCU is dead though (which is the original issue)?

OK - long story short, pulled MCU to get eMMC repaired. In the process, 12V died. Frunk is closed. What I've tried 1) Pulled nose cone to connect 12V charger. Oh, there's no positive terminal there anymore. 2) tried searching for every possible hidden frunk opening cable -- behind wheel...

Thanks for the reply! "Power strut" -- glad to know the actual name of the part. I'll probably get better search responses than using "Motor thingy that opens the trunk." I kinda figured it wasn't the 12V since nothing else seems to be acting up, but I wasn't sure if a slow opening could...

Lately, I've noticed my trunk opening slowly. Most of the time it opens. Today it stopped after it went up about 12 inches. Nothing was restricting it to make it stop. I could manually open it the remainder of the way. When I pushed the button on the trunk to close it, it closed...

I've had my MS for over three years now, so I'm used to quirky little things that come and go. Today's events caught my attention though. I charged last night at home. When I went to unplug this AM and go to work, there was a high-pitched whining sound from the very front of the car. Sounded...

Ordered today. Should arrive between now and summer. :)

Thanks. Sorry, is the cover over the cup holder part single push / auto-extend or manual?

I’m confused. From the pics, it looks like the portion that slides over the cup holder is leather. Is it actually plastic? Also, is the cover automatic — ie, if you push on it does it fully extend on its own like the OEM or do you have to pull it the entire way? I just drove my first loaner...

Ah, and yet EVEN apple allows some independence. What calendar app do I want to use? How do I want my homescreen to appear? Do I want to use fingerprint security? Wasn't too long ago that Google Maps and iPhone didn't get along so well. Apple realized it was a big mistake and now allows us to...

Dear Tesla, I have such an easy solution for you. Allow us some ability to customize. Such an easy thing to program. OK, some of us love the update, many do not. For most of those who do not, it's primarily because we have lost something that we previously liked. Someone else (ie, programmer)...

Is anyone else annoyed that it assumes that we always want the music app every time we start the car? If I leave browser open to Waze when I exit the car, I’d like for it to still be there when I get back in. Instead, music pops up, so it’s two clicks to get the browser back up. Even if I pop...

So I can confirm it all seems to be working well with 2018.28. I even saw it refresh with my very own little eyes without even touching the screen, zooming in / out. etc. Hopefully this works for everyone, but sounds like a previous poster has .28 and still with issues?? Anyway, one silver...

So glad to hear this is fixed in 2018.28. I just got my update notification, so fingers crossed. So tired of forgetting to refresh, anticipating the drive home to be "green" and see nothin but brake lights....

Beardco - How do you get your 9 year old to sleep in the car? How about nav traffic with new update? Mine fails to refresh (seems to be an issue with a lot of people). I'm tired of taking a route that appears green, only to realize that was the traffic 8 1/2 hours ago.....

OK - Tommy B gets badge and Benjanos the impossible to remove decal (although why would u want to remove it, ever?) It's a March 2016 MS. First handle issue I've experienced, but good to hear about the possibilities. So I'll read up more about this, but the microswitch is responsible for the...

How recent was your trip? Worked great for us in early June.

Oh yes, the prize. His choice of an official Tesla Detective Badge, which he may wear at all times, or a Detective decal to be placed on bumper -- will be no more tacky than state issued carpool sticker. Plus, he gets my eternal gratitude. All of these are priceless (or is it worthless? I...

Mine seems to do a little of both (April 2016). There are times where I pass a sign and it immediately changes. There are times where I pass a school zone sign and it drops it to 25 (annoying when school is not in session). There are times I pass a school sign and it does nothing. There are...

Boom! Look at that ya'll In less than 30 minutes, mystery solved. Tommy B - you win. After locking and unlocking car multiple times (took about 10 minutes, but fun time had by all), the passenger door just popped open after the handles presented. OK, that I NEVER would have guessed. Ever...

Ok - first time posting, but you all are such a wealth of knowledge, I know for certain someone will step up and solve this. Mystery Summary: Drove to work this morning, parked, worked, got in car to go to lunch, put in reverse and warning "Car door open." Huh? Opened and closed door again...
