    Are you still on the original battery pack with your 2012-2015 Model S?

    I don't think there's a way to know the percentage of all 2012-2015 Model S's that have had their battery packs replaced, but I'm curious about the owners here on TMC. In addition to answering the poll, if you want to provide any amplifying information such as miles, rated range at 100%, etc...

    Tesla Solar Panels & Inverter (no powerwall) with Neurio and two electrical panels

    I have a Tesla solar panel setup (11.2 kW) with a single Tesla inverter (7.6 kW). A couple days ago Tesla installed a Neurio energy monitoring device but at times the indications are clearly wrong. The issues only seem to appear when the solar panels are producing energy but basically it will...

    Pest abatement for Tesla solar panels in the Las Vegas area

    Recently had Tesla Solar panels installed and looking to get pest abatement installed. I‘ve only reached out to a couple local companies but most of them appear to just screw on the wire mesh to the outside of the skirt/trim. I did notice some folks in other states had Tesla install the pest...

    Scheduled departure time charging unreliable (2015 Model S 85D)

    I've been using a scheduled departure time for charging for a while now and it's never been 100% reliable but seems to have gotten worse these past several months. Sometimes it never charges and I'm departing well past the time I had set or other times, it seems like it charged a little bit but...

    Clicking sound coming from climate system fan

    I actually started noticing this last year around this time but it mostly went away during the summer months because the fan speeds were usually much higher. It's a high pitch, high frequency, "clicking" sound coming from the climate system. It's not a very loud sound, but very noticeable at fan...

    Mobile app not connecting

    Since 16 Aug, I haven’t been able to connect to my 2015 Model S 85D via the mobile app. I’ve tried when the car is on WiFi and LTE, and I’ve also tried logging out and back in to mobile sharing in the car. Any ideas what might be causing this?

    Randomly losing cellular connectivity (MCU1 on 2019.24.4)

    Driving the same route to and from work, I randomly lost cellular connectivity. This is the second time it's occurred and the only thing that's changed is the recent 2019.24.4 firmware update. This is on a 2015 Model S 85D (MCU1). The first time it occurred was a couple days ago. I let it be for...

    Air conditioning desiccant bag replaced - strange smell?

    For anyone that has had their AC desiccant bag replaced, was there any strange smell afterwards coming from the AC? If so, how long did it last? I had it replaced about two weeks ago and when I first got the car, I noticed some sort of chemical smell coming from the AC that dissipated after...

    Cabin overheat protection in hot climates (110 F+)?

    Is anyone running cabin overheat protection in a place where the outside temperatures reach 110-115 F? If so, what has your experience been with battery usage per hour? And do you run it with or without AC?

    Thumping sound/feeling during regen braking?

    Driving to work today I was slowing from maybe 20 MPH with regen braking when I heard and felt a few "thumps" within about a 1-2 second period. They weren't loud, but definitely audible. It hasn't occurred again and everything seems to be normal. Any ideas what this might have been? I'll...

    Autopilot issues with hills (AP1)

    Drove to Death Valley today and while driving on a straight two lane road with several hills varying in size, autopilot aggressively steered into the on-coming lane or towards the edge of the road after crossing the top of the hill. There were about 10+ small hills on this road so I was able see...

    I have a few rock chips on my Model S and decided to give Tesla's Paint Repair Kit a shot. It's basically a re-packaged Dr. Colorchip kit. I followed the instructional video steps on the product page with some minor adjustments. The rock chip and surrounding area was cleaned with alcohol and I...
