    Lost my Start Charging and Stop Charging buttons in app

    I updated to FSD 2023.27.6 and now my app doesn't show the Start charging and Stop Charging buttons. My car is about 200 ft away in my Garage and this was convenient to allow me to manually control charging times. I recently put solar in and I do not want the grid to charge my car, I want to...

    Taking delivery of my Model S today but.....

    So I am supposed to receive my Model S today but Tesla did not have a way to haul it down here and a third party carrier would take 7 to 10 days to deliver it to me. I am a little over 200 miles away from the San Antonio Tesla location and was asked permission for them to drive the car to me...

    "One of the things is already there, and people just don't realize it."

    But....autopilot features are not retrofittable to older Model S vehicles. I'm confused....what did Elon mean by, "One of the things is already there, and people just don't realize it.". I wouldn't say that I am disappointed with the "D" unveiling but I was expecting something like autopilot...

    Create a New TMC Category for Discussion - ELON MUSK

    Being that we all are interested in the activities of Elon Musk...(I know that I read anything that mentions his name and see most all shows that highlight him)...shouldn't there be a category in the TMC forums dedicated to the news, activities, discussions, etc. of Elon Musk? We all love our...

    Inside tire wear problem sends my Model S in for service

    I was parked at a shopping center parking lot and a couple of people pulled up next to me as I was leaving and told me that my rear tire looked really low. I got out to check it out and it did seem a little low...not flat...but I thought that it would be a good idea to check it out. There is a...

    Law Change - Texas front license plate no longer required?

    When I received my car the front license plate mounting bracket was not installed on the car but they did include the license plate mount and kit. I called Tesla Service and was told that the Houston Service rep would call me. Well, he called me today and told me that it would be a couple of...

    Car left California Saturday...Arriving Monday!!

    WOW....I got a call from the truck driver and from my delivery coordinator to let me know that my car should arrive Monday morning. That is a two day delivery from Tesla...phenomenal. I was expecting the car to arrive after next weekend...but...Monday between 8am and 9am I should get the call...

    Weather & natural disaster impact on Tesla

    Just saw on NBC Nightly news... Rain is going to settle in on the West Coast from Washington to Southern California and up to 10 inches of rain could fall in some places. I hope it doesn't affect Tesla!

    Apple Magic Touchpad

    I wonder if the Apple Magic Touchpad (bluetooth connectivity) would work with the 17 inch screen of the Model S. If it does work, (and I realize I would have to beg Tesla to create a pointer of some sort), I would like to build a wood box frame that would hold the touchpad and fit snugly in the...

    Blind Spot Cameras

    I would like to see blind spot cameras on the Model S. The rear camera screen shot could be divided into three separate screens. A center main screen showing the rear camera view and two smaller side screens on either side of the rear view showing the blind spots. This would be especially...

    The Battle for the distinction....Last Sig to be delivered

    I'm in the running! I haven't heard anything from Tesla and that gives me confidence that I might be the final U.S. Sig to be delivered. (Trying to make lemonade out of lemons here). The pictures of the Sigs that have been delivered are great...what a beautiful car! The reports coming...

    Automatically answer incoming calls

    I have a Pioneer AVIC Z140 stereo in my truck and one of the features that I really love is the automatic answering of incoming calls. The feature allows you to choose the number of rings before automatically answering so you can refuse the call if you would like. This would be a great feature...

    Tesla Model S App and a Built in Router

    I know that the Model S app has been talked about and is still in development. I was thinking that the app is going to be one of the most useful tools for Model S owners. The ability to check on how your Model S charge is coming along from your cell phone while you're having lunch is very...

    Notable Gaps in Supercharger Network

    I find a significant gap in the proposed SC locations that will hopefully be filled early on. There are no proposed SC stations between Phoenix and San Antonio. A trip between California and Texas is not feasible at this point. I don't know if this would be a highly traveled route....but I...

    Typing into the Center Console Display

    This question is for owners that have received their cars. When surfing the www using the center console display, how do you enter text...does a virtual keyboard pop up as with an iPhone or iPad? I wonder if you could carry a portable USB keyboard to enter text while using the web...(not while...

    Installed NEMA 14-50 in garage

    I had an electrician come by today and install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage. The run was very short....maybe 2 feet from the breaker box which is located in the corner of the garage where I need it anyway. Total cost $410.00. I'm ready for the Model S!

    Long Distance Comfort

    When I test drove the Model S I was so intrigued with the feel and style that I never really focused on the long distance comfort level. I did notice when I first got into the car that the seats were very comfortable. I felt that the driver side arm rest was a bit small and towards the back of...

    Ants and Electricity

    I am a worrier/thinker and have had problems with ants and electricity in the past. Those little PITAs would find their way into the points of our well pump pressure switches at the ranch and short out the entire system. We would have to periodically pour Sevin dust around the post that held...

    Insurance Rates and GPS Tracking

    I have heard some suggest that the insurance rates for the Model S are going to be higher than most other luxury vehicles. It seems that a GPS tracking capability in the Model S would decrease the likelihood of theft and thus reduce insurance rates. I don't know if the Model S will have...

    Aluminum Corrosion Question

    I know that in the past aluminum bodied cars were notorious for experiencing corrosion at places where steel bolts were connected. The electrolysis that occurs from combining two different metals would result in terrible corrosion/melding of the metals that would cause major problems whenever...

    Optimal Charge Type for Battery Longevity

    I was wondering what the best charge, (rate, amperage, etc.) would be for the Tesla Model S batteries so that you maximize longevity, and minimize degradation. Expert opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    Front License Plate Solutions

    I read on the Tesla Motors forum that the front license plate mount is not installed at the factory. It seems that if you live in a state that requires a front license plate the delivery technician will drill holes in your car to accommodate the installation of the front license plate mount...

    Black Interior...not necessarily hot?

    I live in South Texas where the Summer temperature can make first entry into your vehicle pretty miserable. I chose a black interior thinking that it was going to be very hot at times...but the more that I thought about it, the interior may never have to be hot when you first get in. I...

    Audio: Sound System Quality?

    I am very interested in the quality of music coming out of a vehicle's sound system. I once owned a Hyundai Genesis...and bought the car because of it's outstanding sound system. One of the selling points of the car was that the sound system was the same as that used in the Rolls Royce Phantom...

    Portable Battery Pack

    To calm some of the range anxiety that Tesla owners may develop while traveling long distances, it might be a good idea for Tesla to offer a portable battery pack...distance extender. The portable battery pack could get you out of a bad situation if you ran out of charge and get you to the...
