So I think that this has happened at least twice now... Yesterday when I got home from work, I noticed it was downloading a new software update. Checked out the version and its the one with Disney+. I got the notice on my cell thru the Tesla app too. I thought cool, I'll let it update...

So my dad, who lives out of state and is 76 and somewhat tech challenged, is visiting me this weekend. He's interested in the Model Y for his next car, and we have a Tesla store here, so I offered to accompany him on a test drive while he's here. I have a 2018 S75D, and have had it for almost...

I have a 2018 MS75D, with the enhanced autopilot package. HW 2.5 I think, I have not had the upgrade to HW 3.0 installed. I remember seeing an update come out recently for other cars(I think with HW3?) where NOA will not hang out/stay in the passing lane. I seem to remember my car prompting...

So lately I have been noticing a high pitch whine coming from my car while its parked in the garage. Its faint, hard to localize, and it sounds like something is spinning very fast. I think it is coming from underneath the front of the car somewhere. Plugging in the car does not stop it, nor...

So I had the passengers side headlight replaced today. The DRL piece was going out again, for the 2nd time. I looked the car over before taking it back, but when I got home and took a second look, I now notice a misalignment of the front quarter panel, the V where it meets the hood and bumper...

So I have a service appointment today to get my tires replaced, and going into it I know they ordered 19" tires for my 21" wheels. I tried to alert them to that fact as soon as I noticed it on the service agreement they wanted me to sign last week. I didn't sign that, and responded back to the...

I made it 28K miles on the Continentals that came on the 21" twin turbine staggered set. Almost down to the wear bars, so its time for another set. Was hoping I would get two years out of the tires, but did not make it. I just moved the Columbia area recently, and have not had to use any tires...

My 2018 S75D is sitting parked in my garage with sentry mode off, and it lost 12.5 miles of range in 13 hours. Normally it looses less than .5 miles of range per hour.

I just recently picked up a new V2 Nintendo switch(covid purchase), and I am taking a short 3 hour road trip this weekend. I've taken other road trips in the past and used the USB plugs in the back to keep the kids tablets going. But I've heard the switch is different, doesn't use the USB...

All other ICE cars that I've had in the past had like a 15 mph limit on the cruise control, you couldn't go any lower than that. But with Tesla, you can set it to 1 mph. Kinda cool to try in neighborhoods with no traffic. Why would you want to do this? easy way to slowly drive around your...

Yesterday I went to try and check some sentry mode footage on the screen in the car, and it just loaded a static image, with no controls. Rebooted, and still the same thing. I took the card and used a laptop to read it, and the videos look fine on there. Was working okay before 2020.16.2.1...

So I'm thinking about taking my family(wife, 7 year old and 2 year old) in the S to a drive in movie theater(I have not been to a drive-in in years). Anything to watch out for? This place has all crazy kinda rules, like no white lights on at anytime, no running the engine, no honking the horn...

So as I was getting out of my car in my garage today, I heard the car quickly beep three times, and I think I saw the lights flash. Anyone know what's up with that?

Got the 2020.12.5 update, and saw the new icon at the top of the screen, to the right of the dashcam. I was like what the heck is this? I can understand why they didn't mention that change in the release notes, but I think they should have.

PSA - I just upgraded to 2020.4.1 recently, and I thought I would give scheduled departure another try. It still "finishes" before 6 am, and it will continue to trickle charge your car after it finishes. If you leave your car plugged in, it will slowly charge to 100%(even though the car does...

I have a 2018 S75D, with about 21K miles on it. In a few days, I'll be heading on a 2000 mile roadtrip. In the past, I've always charged to 100% right before leaving, then charge as much as I needed at a super charger, then stay at a hotel with a destination charger and charge back up to 100%...

Got it fixed at the Service Center in Owings Mills. Ended up having to leave it overnight, and they provided Uber credits, no loaner. I was told the procedure takes two hours, and when I asked the service advisor if it was permanent, they responded that it was. What's also interesting is that...

Swapped my wheels out today for the winter set, and I switch the wheel center caps over as part of that. The winter set is not Tesla, but the center caps fit perfectly. Anyone else purposely point the T logo to the valve stem? I think it will make it infinite minisculely easier to locate the...

I've been noticing for awhile now that the gap on the driver's side of my rear hatch seems abit large. Well, today I discovered that the support? block on that side of the trunk lid is crooked. I tried to twist it straight again, but it did not bulge easily. Also don't really see a way to...

It starts at 6,485 because that's when I started using teslafi back in march this year. Since going over 15K, there are alot more peaks and valleys. This is for a 2018 S75D, built in 6/2018.

I was using the new scheduled departure feature, and took my car to the airport car park for my Thanksgiving trip. I got lucky and scored a charging spot. I left my car's charging percentage on the usual 80%, since I do not have a long drive home from the airport, and I was going to be gone...

So my car is parked at one of those airport parking lots with shuttle buses, and its plugged in. The charge is slowly creeping up, and it's not actively charging. I had the % set to 80, and it stopped at 80, but has now crept up to 87. It gains about 1 mile of range every 90 minutes. The...

So my youngest is getting to the point where we are going to switch her car seat from rear facing to forward facing. How do you position the strap over the rear headrest without permanently deforming it?

So I've been on 36.2.2 for about a week now, and I think I have noticed an issue with AP that was not present in 36.2.1. In heavy traffic I keep AP and set to 1, but it leaves too big of a gap between me and the car in front of me. So I will press the accelerator just slightly to close the gap...

I just recently got the 2019.32.2.1 update, and I've started using the departure scheduling. I have my car set to charge to 80%, but if the car sits parked in my garage after charging for several hours or more, the charge slowly creeps up to 84%. I can tell this because I am using Teslafi. It...

So one day last week, I charged my S75D up to 80% at home in the morning before leaving, and when I arrived home later that night, my battery was at 31%. So almost 50% used. When I looked at the kWh it said I used during the day, it only reported 27 kWh. I know the 75D does not really get a...

So I've been noticing for months that the cover over the ultrasonic sensor in the driver side front wheel well has been out of place. I could stick my finger between the opening of it, and the painted edge of the wheel well. Today I tried to pop it back in place, and put the hole in it over...

So last night, while taking my kids around our hood while trick-or-treating, I came across a model 3 that was parked in a driveway, in front of a garage. The driveway was two cars wide, and it had 4 cars in it, the model 3 being closest to the street. I think this is important, because it made...

Anyone else notice that whenever you "start" the car, and the driver profile switches from easy entry to the appropriate profile, that it shows "saving" several times up at the top? I know as part of V10 there was an enhancement to the driver profile where it would show you "saving" when a...

I purchased my S about a year ago, in October 2018. At the time they were running a promotion where every year you get 400 Kw of free supercharging. I also used someone's referral code, and got six months of free supercharging after taking delivery. So I wonder when I will get another 400 Kw...

I did not purchase the FSD(that I know of anyway), but got V10 last night. This morning I tried netflix out, but once I was watching something, I could not figure out how to get out of netflix so I could drive the car. Had to reboot. Is this a bug, or is there a non-intuitive way to exit?

Anyone have a seasucker and use the trunk anchor to semi-secure the bike to the car while parked? Does it actually fit in the gap without deforming anything, or compromising the seal?

I ordered a mini bomber rack today. So I think there are two ways I can use this on the S. 1) Mount it just behind the top of the windshield, so that all suction cups are entirely on the glass roof. I'd position the 4 suction cups over the part of the roof that you cannot see thru, where...

About 10 months ago, after I had ordered my tesla model S but before I had received it, I saw a model X in a parking lot obviously using autopark to back into a parking spot. He wasn't parking between two cars, instead a car and a curb. I got to watch as he curbed one of his wheels. Anyhow...

I'm considering getting the two bike version(mini bomber) of the sea sucker rack for the full glass roof on my model S, so I can put two adult hybrid bikes up there and fit the trailer and trailer bike in the trunk. I've heard reports of the sea sucker cracking the glass on the model 3...

This past Thursday night, a big storm rolled thru my area. Lots of rain and lighting. I came home during the middle of the storm. I waited till the storm had passed to plugin my car and charge. After we arrived home and it was still storming, we noticed the lights flickering, like they might...

Just had this happen. I just moved offices at work, and my office is next to a guy I don't know. He's from Russia I think, works on a different team. We have window offices, so we both park outside our windows where we can see our cars, and end up parking next to each other. So I heard him...

I watched some of the video of the layer making the case against Tesla for that fatal autopilot accident that happened in March this year, in Florida I think. I didn't watch the whole thing, but IMO its pretty obvious that the tractor trailer driver was at fault for pulling out when he did not...

Twice over the weekend when I got in my car, the destination was set to a local super charger that I have been to in the past. I didn't do anything on the phone app to set that destination, or share a destination to my car. And when I looked in the navigation history, there was another local...

I frequently use the hill hold feature on my S, where I push the brake pedal just a little harder after I stop, and it holds the car in place till I hit the accelerator or brake. I do also have creep mode on. Lately, I've been noticing that my car will slip forward slightly with the hill hold...

Bought my 2018 S back in November last year, and just paid for the autopilot(TACC, autosteer, autopark, summon), but not the FSD. Will I get the enhanced summon if I did not pony up for the full autopilot option?

I was on a road trip recently, and tried using teslawaze for the first time. After a few minutes, the music started popping, and the center screen started becoming unresponsive. I closed teslawaze, and everything was fine again. Anyone else notice this? This was on a 2018 S75D, with the 2.5 MCU.

Anyone ever try using saran wrap on the bumper, headlights, and mirrors when taking a long road trip? If so, how did it work for you? Did you encounter any rain?

Tesla store? Service Center? Autozone? Target? Going on a trip in about a week, and need to get some replacements for my S before then. What's my best option? Really don't want to go to the SC if I don't have to...

Saw in the news that the beach buggy 2 game has been released, but I've only seen it on a model 3 screen. Anyone with a model S have it?

Its been a few releases, and I'm still having these issues with sentry: 1) Visually busy backgrounds(think brick buildings, trees, faded asphalt) will cause half or more of the picture to pixelate and blur. 2) Cars pulling in next to me on the passenger side don't seem to get recorded 3)...

Went to an amusement park this weekend, and the car was parked out in the hot sun for several hours in an open parking lot. Never saw the temp get above 105, and the sentry mode was active at the same time.

So the temp is like 92 F today, and my car is parked in the full sun. I check the app, and then teslafi, and both confirm the interior temp is like 119. I have cabin overheat protection turned on, and I thought that limited it to 105. So I go out and reboot the car, go back in, and check a...

I've been using Teslafi for close to two months now, and one thing I do not understand is why the trip computer on my car shows I used 299 wh/mi for my 14.25 mile drive, but teslafi shows it as 318 wh/mi. Which one is right, or closer to being correct?

So the existing V2 superchargers can now put out a total of 150 kwh, and the 100 cars can charge at a max rate of 150 kwh. What is going to happen if you have to share a stall with a 100 car that has not hit the taper yet? Will you not get any charging at all?
