    MCU2 rebooting often

    My 2019 X LR (Raven) started doing this... 3 times while driving since last Thursday night. I have an appt to drop it off at the SC Monday (2/21).

    Latest Software Update 2020.48.35.9

    I got it on the 6th. No noticeable differences that I can see.

    Have you had MCU1 issues? Some good news today.

    I got the e-mail 2 hours ago. I'm due $1,987 + tax. :)

    Cannot access HomeLink while in Reverse

    Why don't you just let Homelink automatically close the door for you (Auto-close when leaving)?

    My 2015 S85 has been sitting on 2020.36.11 for a while.

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    I had everything except the turn signal dropouts (?) for 3 months before my failure. I wrote it off in my mind as either an AT&T or 3G card issue. I've been doing a lot of audio streaming which probably accelerated the eMMC failure.

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    MCU1 in my March 2015 S85 failed last Sunday (froze and then didn't come back from a soft reboot). Car has 64K miles. Goes into the Scottsdale SC next Thursday.

    Tesla Cybrtrk

    This is what I see... The originally released image from Tesla shows the (glass) roof with leading running/clearance light strip OVER the windshield. It would replace the roof of the cab in the image below. The new image shows the headlight strip, which is roughly where the tops of the...

    New: Adjustable camber bushings.

    Any testimonials w/before/after tire mileage going from -2 to -1 camber? I get 19,000 miles out of rear tires (no rotation) and 27,000 miles rotating front to rear. Just wondering how many more miles (1.5x... 2x... ?) I'll get with reduced camber.

    Rejecting Car During Delivery Inspection - Typical Process?

    Unfortunately, the 30'x30' area outside my garage where they worked is the only place around my home that doesn't have security cam coverage. :(

    Rejecting Car During Delivery Inspection - Typical Process?

    After mobile service was out to my house working on my Model S, I found a chunk out of my rear bumper and scratches right below where they were replacing a drain in my rear hatch (a TSB, nothing that I asked for). Also the leather in my steering wheel was gouged (passenger airbag recall). They...

    What else does Tesla need to bundle to increase Model S sales?

    Put Model S/X on the shelf for 2-3 years and use that capacity to build pickups. There will be demand for (updated) S/X when you bring them back.

    Eeeeeek! Drove an ICE car for the first time in a year.

    THIS^^^ I was so rarely driving my Jeep (conscious of the diff in fuel cost, plus everything else you mentioned) that I was quite often jumping out of it while it was still running. This was followed by taking a few steps and thinking "Oh yeah, I need to lock the doors w/the remote"...

    Free Super Charging on Model S

    You still got Ludicrous for free, and when they rolled Ludicrous into all performance cars, they RAISED the price of performance $5,000. You cannot get a better deal today than the deal you got! So I don't understand why you're disappointed??

    Why no trunk tie downs in Model X or Model Y.

    There are tie downs on the 3rd row seat backs that you can use when they are folded up or down. So that's 4 tie downs total on the 6-seat interior. I would be very surprised if there are not 2 additional tie downs on the backs of the folding (5/7-seat) second row seats.

    Anyone received delivery of 2019 'Raven' Refresh?

    Does anyone know for sure if this (date/time) would have been when it came off the line? It was ordered 7/16, shipped 7/26, delivered 7/30. VIN 1895xx

    Anyone received delivery of 2019 'Raven' Refresh?

    That is how they are being delivered. You can try to get them to add it, or just buy one on Amazon/eBay and install it yourself. There should also be a 4-wire pigtail you will need if you ever install an electric trailer brake controller. Mine was loose in the frunk (might have fallen out of...

    Anyone received delivery of 2019 'Raven' Refresh?

    The cream interior carpet in the X is black. The leather is cream. The wood is light oak. Everything else is black. :cool: Mine was just delivered w/2019.15.105. Thought that was odd. It's a 1895xx VIN that came off the line last week.

    Anyone received delivery of 2019 'Raven' Refresh?

    So much LOVE! The cream/oak w/black headliner is everything I hoped It would be. When I test drove one, I immediately thought the standard suspension setting was too soft so I flipped it to 'sport'. But when I got home yesterday I realized I had been driving @ standard setting all day and it...

    Drove 18 miles today, took 32 miles of range

    I made these 4 changes (that seem counter-intuitive) and now get rated range or better: 1) Set acceleration to the fastest setting (not Chill mode) 2) Set Range Mode (...okay, this one makes sense) 3) Turn A/C temp DOWN (start w/5 degrees lower, but not all the way to LO) 4) Turn the fan...

    Light headliner is gone

    I specifically didn't order my Model X sooner because I didn't want the light headliner. Almost convinced myself that white interior was good enough to get the black headliner (but the white seats seem too formal for my dogs). Glad I waited... I ordered exactly what I wanted.

    Charging Program (New to EV)

    The car decides when it needs to charge. It can't charge if it isn't plugged in. I don't want to forget to plug it in and then wake up the next morning needing a 90% charge and not have it.

    No more FSD for any "CPO" Teslas

    Yup, I'm seeing that (on a Model S I looked at yesterday). Removing FSD removes the financial liability of upgrading AP2.X HW unless the new owner wants (and pays) for FSD. Personally, I'd be happy w/EAP vs FSD. Removing EAP forces the new owner to upgrade to FSD if they want EAP...

    Retrofit my Tesla, that’s so Raven.

    Almost forgot... my #1 retrofit would be an upgrade to MCU2(+LTE) in the next 2 years before my MCU fails.

    Are the HPWC free at the new Linq V3 supercharger station?

    I believe I read that Tesla owners would get a PIN from the Nav screen to enter, and then automatically be charged for parking (if applicable) when they leave.

    Retrofit my Tesla, that’s so Raven.

    I have an unhealthy emotional attachment to my Model S; specifically the pano roof and next gen REAR seat. I want to retrofit anything that will give me significantly more range. A 100+ battery pack is most logical. PS - I know 19's would help, but the 21's look perfect. :cool:

    Tesla Removes Free Unlimited Supercharging for all their CPO

    If the 3rd party dealer already has the car, it keeps FUSC. For cars 3rd party dealers buy at auction from Tesla going forward, I'm speculate those will also have FUSC removed.

    Another Sudden Acceleration

    FWIW, a couple of weeks ago I was coming off the freeway *hot* @ 75 mph and tapped the brake pedal to disengage TACC. It didn't disengage so I started to feel anxious and did 2 more urgent taps before I realized I was tapping the accelerator. Moved my foot to the brake pedal and all was fine...

    Tesla Pickup Truck

    ^^^ This. They really need to beat everyone else to market, even if it means shelving the (declining sales) S&X for a couple years in order to have the capacity to build the truck. Would really like to see that the truck is still plus sized and shares a lot of tech with the semi (enough so...

    Unlimited supercharging disappearing from used/cpo cars

    It will be interesting to see if they start stripping it off of cars that come off lease, but get sold at auction to dealers. I'm thinking they will.

    Questions for 5-Seater Owners

    Keep in mind the 2nd row seat in the 5 seater is located further back than the 7 seater, effectively taking away ALL potential 3rd row leg room. So you'd have to figure out how to move the second row foward for both access and leg room.
