Tesla now have a 1TB solid state drive suitable for ALL models. I have MCU1 8gb which Tesla deems healthy. It says it I.proves gaming g speeds etc. All I want is better use of screen, Internet, which is non existent. Is this likely to help?

I am sure I read that you can turn down the amps when supercharging. Is that true and would it then extend the charge time? If it doesn't and you can reduce the amps what is the purpose?

I have free supercharging. Is it free at Gridserve or pay only? (Not holding breath!)

Today my Model S 85D passed its MOT, however. National Tyres, in Salisbury asked me to "Use Tesla next time". They said their rig did not accept cars like Tesla. The jacking points did not line up. They 'worked round it' however, they said it took twice as long. Anyone else had this? This is...

Not sure if coincidence, however, having had software 2020.48.12.1 the other day, first charge started with 21kw. Had 50 miles at start point. It stayed like that for some time, before slowly increasing. Eventually reached 46kw before decreasing again, as batteries filled. Undercharge, not...

This afternoon, I had my 2016 S mod for the CCS adaptor. To save time, I said I would download the firmware at home. I am home and thought it would be on my phone like a software update, so just press go and all is well. However, there is nothing. Any ideas? Do I need to do something else...

Just received sn online estimate for £823.25 to convert for CCS adaptor. Online I found this: CCS Combo 2 retrofit service costs £280, including the cost of a CCS Combo 2 adapter. www.tesla.com › en_GB › support What am I missing here?

A daft Q, perhaps but seriously asked! I had 4 new Bridgestone tyres fitted, for the MOT at Local Formula 1. They set the tyre pressure at 42, which produced a warning of low pressure. The chap said they had checked and it will go when I drove it! It did after a warm up. It was very dark and...

Just had to come on to pass on a good deed, which happened to me. I had bumped into Simon Jones of Simon Jones Ltd Bournemouth (obviously couldn't think of a company name!) at Sutton Scotney supercharger. He noticed my bumper scrapes and offered to get them done. I said I would think about...

As title. It is either a wonderful gesture or Elon Musk's reputation harmed by a scammer. Anyone any knowledge?

It is a few weeks ago now, however, it comes to mind often. I went to pick my partner up, from her volunteer job. Road was busy, so I had to park 50 yards away. She had not seen me, so I got out of the car and waved. She still di not see me. I walked towards her and when I was about 10 yards...

Number of miles travelled plus time driving, I have over 45 miles per hour average speed. However, when I include all charge time I accept not all charging is journey charging) it amounts to 18 mph Vroom Vroom (silently of course!)

I received an email from Tesla, earlier advising European rules mean they have to limit the Autopilot. New software now ready to activate. I can give it a miss, perhaps, until the next one, when it will be included, for sure. Anyone got experience of the before and after?

My app no longer shows Sutton Scotney (my nearest). It points me to Portsmouth, Readling, Liphook and Fleet but not the nearest beloved. Is it just me and a blip, or is something happening? Cheets

I was in Bristol yesterday and needed a charge to get home. Both bays at Cribbs Causeway, apparently spare. However, on arrival, 5 mins later, a Model X was charging. I started to charge my 2016 S in the remaining bay. 15kw charge out of 130kw! I thought it might recalibrate but it did not...

Had a chat to a fellow owner at Keele superchargers yesterday. Both very pleased with our vehicle. However, I explained how vital the adaptive cruise and autopilot were to my journeys, to which he responded...."I have not used either ". I could not believe it, as they make life so much safer...

This is 22m from home, so one I use regularly. The 2 bays, provided at Norton Hotel, are woefully inadequate. Thanks are due to the hotel complex, for housing the superchargers, however, they are close to the A34/A303 junction, 2 major roads. 2 bays are not enough. We are queuing often...

My Model S is 2016 model, so I have forward and backwards. Recently, when I have tested moving the car, via the app, it start by saying that it is connecting to the car. Then I press and hold forward or Back ut it fails consistently. On occasion it will fold in the wing mirrors but that's all...

I charged here, this afternoon, on my way home from Scotland. Arrived and 6 bays empty. By the time I unplugged, 30 mins later....all 6 bays occupied!

I am in the Highlands for a week. I arrived, on empty, on Saturday. Charged Sunday. Was surprised to see 4 trucks cum people movers occupying bays. This evening, I charged again. 3 Teslas inc me. 8 trucks cum people movers! Reported to superchargers email. It must surely be the Macdonald...

Although I have a home charger, I have not used it other than a quick hour to add a few miles, for an unanticipated trip. I pay £7.85 per month, for Polar Plus, as where I attend meetings have these charging points and that also ensures me a parking space!. They are also in the local park and...

Sorry for such a simple Q. I have tried to read other threads but they get complicated and avoid the obvious Q from a simple chap! I am contemplating a journey from home in the uk across the channel, down through France, to Spain. Simple Q Are the supercharger connections the same or do I...

Sorry if there is an existing thread but I am just in progress with an update and wondered what to expect. Model S May 2016. Currently on 2019.16.1.1

Scary moment today. M6 77mph fast lane. Autopilot 1 active. Traffic slows ahead and I was a distance behind a grey/white minivan, which is also slowing. My Modrl S continues to do 77 and I suddenly realise it is not going to stop! I put down my book....Brake hard, all is well. (No I wasn't...

Booked at Kwikfit. Heart in mouth! Michelin Primacy tyres, before asked.

I have 2mm left on the front tyres and 4mm on the rear. Looks like 4 new tyres soon! However, when I checked them, thinking they may be the originals (39500 miles), i discovered the front pair are Michelin and the rear Pirelli! To be precise: 245/45/R19 102 Extra Load Michelin Pilot Soort 3 MO...

Just checked for my S85D 2016. £3200 for 4 yrs. Seems a steep fee, given batteries powertrain covered for 8 years. What's the value @ £800 per year?

After a winter, where the prediction bore no resemblance to actual mileage achieved, with each charge, I am pleased to report that the mice, warm weather has made a difference! Today, on a 230 mile journey, I checked the last 100 miles, which comprised 60 miles motorway or dual carriageway and...

The other day, I had need to raise my suspension. However, when I located the choice, I was confused! It was showing not low, medium, high but 20,000 leagues! That turned out to be high, rather than Capt Nemo and his submarine! Not good! Today, I checked again and it is now, Low, Medium...

End Match, my S85D will be 3 years old, so MOT. Questions that come to mind... 1. Can an ordinary mot station do the mot, or does it have to be Tesla service? 2. If I place it in Valet mode, do I have to give them the code to be able to start the vehicle? 3. If, say brakes need pads, can...

I jet washed my Model S today. Before Tesla, I used to use the local car wash. Does an S fit in a car wash?

Just read that it is now 27p per kWh. That's about 9p per mile. That's a huge charge for newer models. Not sure how it can be seen as value for money now. My 2016 is free, however, I feel for everyone else.

There are probably my other places too. However, today I went to Cribbs Causeway and all the bays were occupied. Drove to Gordano services and there was one other. 20 mins later 7/8 in use. Seems every other car is a Tesla!

No answers, only question! If I buy an inverter, can I use the power in my Model S to power my house at night? If yes...how do you get the power from car through inverter, to house use? Seems like a good wheeze!

I have had my S for a month and love it. However, several times, I have read folk refer to this type thing, in answering a question: Controls > Settings > Driver Assistance > Summon > ON I am yet to find the words Controls, settings. I have Quick controls and turn things on and off but that's...
