    Park assist looks like crap!

    After most recent update to improve park assist, the improved image looks like fuzzy muppet’s?!? Anyone having this issue or do I need to open a ticket?

    New 2023 model Y doesnt include homelink?

    Tesla rep said many who ordered Y/3's didn't want Home link so they removed it and made it after market. I ordered mine, after delivery, mobile tech installed it in my driveway and set up my opener to make sure all worked for me. Easier with 2 people anyway. Great service from mobile tech as...

    Should I take delivery of MYLR DBM from Fremont later this month? [Posted March 2023]

    I don't know if best is an easy question to answer. The Super charger network is why I am buying my 3rd Tesla and I hope in 3 years the other networks catch up. Car wise, Kia and Hyundai are making fast charging electric cars that use to get the Federal Tax credit, but now they don't, so their...

    Accelerated Delivery Options and Impact of Price Increases

    It seems Tesla has another customer service problem on their hands: NO ONE HAS THE SAME answer. My SA is calling me every other day with options. Cars to trade to, black/black, Grey/white but know he knows I only want Blue/black or Red/black. He said if I get a red, I only have to pay the 1K for...

    Should I take delivery of MYLR DBM from Fremont later this month? [Posted March 2023]

    Remember when they redesigned the model S? Price jumped 30k!! When they redesigned the MY and M3 I don't believe they will sell it for the same price they are selling it for today, regardless of what they do to it. Update = price increase. TMS at 70k decent price car for what you get, 100k...

    Any program to transfer Unlimited Super Charging to a NEW MS? [Answer: No]

    Sadly Akula our Blue 2016 TMS 90D was in an accident that caused enough damage that our insurance is going to call it a complete loss. Luckily no one was injured in the accident so my one true regret is we will lose our USC. We have taken over 3 trips over 1,500 miles in the 2 years we owned our...

    Supercharger - Lacey, WA

    I shop at that Target so it will be nice to top off, but really I would love to see something in the Port Townsend area, if your not traveling to Sequim, then it is just way out of the way, Kipsap County could work too, that whole area is a black spot.

    Supercharger - Lacey, WA

    Moderator note: This post was moved from a thread in another section. In the parking lot of Target off I5 and Slater Kenny Road there is a SC in the finishing stages soon to open in Lacy WA. Drove by that area for the first time in a few months and there it was! Right across from 3 fast...

    IS this a sign of the end? OR just need the next patch...

    Thanks for the update. Tesla couldn't find anything remotely but my phone causing an issue. "unpair your phone" "Still a problem" hum... Service came to the house today and did the ol' unhook the 12 volt battery and wait 2 minutes and hook it back up. Now wait and see if that did the job. If...

    So recently i noticed the lines around my screens when i have my information pages up. I have also notice sluggish Response from my touches and all my X boxes are greyed out but they function after a few pushes. So is this the sign of the END of my MC1 or just the last patch is buggy and i...

    Blinking Red LED on my wall connector

    YEP, the Turn off the Circuit breaker then turn it back on, mine does that from time to time, so i just turn it off at the breaker (time to time read 4 times a year) seems the car and charger take a second to talk to each other and the charger freaks out.

    Where do you want a new Supercharger?

    Anywhere on the Kitsap Peninsula WA. Such a dark spot of charging let alone Super charger.

    Anyone else bothered by the "3D" zoom-out on the IC nav display

    My fist question i had when i got home after I took delivery of my pre owned 2016 TMS was why is the nav screen so "AFU" and can't stay put.. I have never had a car with nav have such crappy controls of your nav screen. Also, looking at my map, at the exit numbers: light grey, in a white box on...

    Model S Yellowstone road trip

    Do you know about evtripplanner.com? it is a nice website to plan long road trips without needing to get into your car first. I used it when I traveled to VA from WA and back 7900 miles last year. Mostly to just make sure it would work, then the car did the real heavy lifting. Looks like...

    11 Improvements to the Model S I want to see

    this was an item i got before I even picked up my preowned 2016 TMS last year, never give my shelf a thought, I would recommend one or make one out of some fishing items, for it looks like that's what they did! I paid the $22! I agree with the vented seats, just rode in a friends new Escalade...

    Long Range Plus Charging rate and real world range

    Long Range Plus Charging rate and real world range

    Since the 391 mile LRP TMS is very new, I was wondering if someone could tell me if the LRP will Super Charge at 250Kh? And How many mile in range are you getting? I have a 2016 90d that gets 238 at 90% but if i get 170 miles of driving out of it I am lucky. SO i am thinking it might be upgrade...

    Anyone see pay per use supercharging change to Free unlimited

    What price point did you buy at? seems if the car was in the mid 60's or higher they come with free Super Charger use on used Teslas now a days. This changes from time to time based on number of used Teslas on hand from what i can tell. My 50k TMS 90D came with free Super Charger use last year...

    MCU1 S Owners: Logic FOR/AGAINST Tesla's $2,500 "Infotainment Upgrade"? (Not required for FSD)

    So my question is cars made with the MCU2's do not have AM/FM/Sirius XM? I would love the upgraded MCU speed and 5g would be faster where ever I could find it, but I mean come on Tesla why are you dropping Radio and Satellite, one of the reasons some of us purchased premium audio in the first...

    Selling an Older Model S

    I was told, if you get a quote from CarMax or the like, and take that to Tesla they will match that. But you might find Vroom or Carvana will offer you a good price. Not everyone wants to sell a car themself check local dealer you never know they might heave a need. good luck

    Pay per use or FUSC?

    First welcome to the Tesla family, second having just visited HI, i was happy to see as many Tesla's on the Islands. The answer to your question is plug it in and see what happens... simple i know but ... if the service center cant help you over the phone that will be the quickest way. 2015...

    Phantom breaking

    I call it "Afraid of its shadow" cant ever really find out why it will randomly start to break, last night in the dark and rain it gave the alert noise like i was about to hit something while traveling at 65 miles an hour. Good times :(

    2020.4.1

    2020.4.1 said, "improved voice commands" WRONG, Call home, gets navigate home if I'm lucky most of the time its nearest Home depot. "gets Backgammon" Wrong, lost my arcade icon all together. I sure hope 2020.4.2 comes out soon! 2016 90D

    2020.4

    I have 2020.4.1 and I have no voice commands for phone and arcade is gone, good job Tesla (not that i play games in my car) but calling people hands free is kind of a BIG DEAL!

    Just got CPO 2016 P90DL , 111 mile range acceptable?

    As you own our car you will find your need to "Jack Rabbit" start lessen and you will just power start, lower you cabin heat to 68-69 with the seat warmer on. Wear a sweater or sweat shirt. If your hands get cold and you have cold weather package turn on your heated steering wheel for a few...

    Road tripping and charging to 100%

    Just finished a 7800-mile road trip, and I did the 100% at night, it is a piece of mind when starting out, and in cold weather. I only did 90% or what I needed to get to next charger on the rout when driving (or a bit more if we stopped to eat). I have had a battery test by Tesla, and they say...

    Model S door handle won't present

    Mobile tech came to my house and replaced my driver door handle and reprogrammed it in the MC for my 2016 MS90D after it failed to present. Free of charge since i had warranty coverage. Good luck.

    Has anyone had this message when Super Charging?

    I saw that once at a SC on my cross country trip, lucky for me I was able to move it back up to 100% since 80% would not have been enough range to get to the next charger. We made it to 97%, left, got to next one with 8%. Some of the chargers on the West side of the nation are far a part and...

    Washington state to Virginia and back in a TMS

    7581.4 Miles of road trip in a 2016 Tesla Model S 90D and I found out a few things, wonder if Tesla will care? We have zero problems with the car, it drove and handled perfectly! The GPS is a different story. We estimate the GPS was correct on location of Super Charger 40% of the time. “Your...

    Washington state to Virginia and back in a TMS

    It would be helpful if Tesla gave us a 800 number to call that didn’t leave you on hold for 20 minutes or better yet a number we could text with info. I have found 2 broken chargers and one where they need to fire the contractor who installed the stalls, in this pic, the furthest on the right...

    New buyer question

    it wouldn't have a warranty but you could see about taking it into a Tesla service center and seeing if they would be willing to look at it. See if they see anything wrong. That is one of the reasons I got my 2016 for Tesla, 2 year warranty. Piece of mind. I wouldn't say your used car...

    Washington State Super Charger Needed how do you ask for one?

    A super charger is needed on Bainbridge Island or Kitsap peninsula. If you are traveling from Port Townsend, WA to Olympia, WA it could be 106 miles to 150+ if you take the ferry via Seattle. If you drive around the peninsula and island you might find yourself like me, facing a bout of range...

    Gen1 vs Gen2 and NEMA adapters

    the GEN2 Mobile connector is the one in the 2nd picture (didn't know how to label them) it has the plug that removes, GEN1 mobile connectors only the end of the plug removes and its either a 110 plug or a 240v plug. Sorry i didn't make that more clear.
