    Is there any update or way to have phone as key card in 2018 S?

    Without having to open the app and select start? Similar to newer model Teslas where you just approach the car with your phone in your pocket, get in and drive.

    The dreaded "BMS_s172 Vehicle may not start alert" and a positive service experience (Raleigh NC)

    I read so many negative service experience posts that I thought I would infuse a little positivity. Seems this error message (while obviously very alarming) most of the time relates to an issue with the 12v battery or the coolant heater. My car ended up needing the latter replaced under...

    When do I really have to bring in my MS for routine mainenance?

    2018 MS 100D, 15k miles over 2 years of ownership, no issues. I was thinking of going 3 years before getting first ever routine maintenance. What do I really need other than checking brake fluid and cabin filters? Do I really need an A/C recharge if A/C working fine? I don't need dealer to...

    my S is a different car in winter vs. summer

    I have in the past taken up to 260 mile nonstop trips without hesitation or incident (2018 MS, 335 mi published range, charges to 332). I have never before faced severe range anxiety until yesterday. I knew the car was less efficient in cold weather, but I took a 145 mile trip in the freezing...

    why has my dash display changed without a recent software update???

    This morning I am now for the first time seeing a new dash display with the driver visualization box much bigger (see pic), I have not had a software update in a couple of weeks (see version pasted below). Why does my software version say "bad" at the end? What is going on?

    Has anyone else lost news stations on TuneIn?

    Just this week I can no longer load news stations (CNN, MSNBC, etc.). I have a paid connectivity subscription and can play music and other media on TuneIn but get a loading error with all news stations except ABC. Anyone else experiencing or know how to fix?

    iPhone maintains connectivity but keeps losing text message synch

    My iPhone always links to my 2018 MS, so not a bluetooth issue. However, almost every time I get in the car and check its status, I have to manually resynch the text messaging and "chime" functions. This has persisted with multiple software upgrades (currently 2020.24.6.1). Is this a known...

    Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime on - NO CHIME EVER

    2018 MS I have the Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime turned on. I have NEVER heard it chime, despite seeing a car next to me in red on the dash and almost hitting it. Is this a known defect? Anyone else experiencing or dealt with Tesla service regarding?

    My app still has my car status as "ready for pickup" even though service completed a week ago

    On the home screen of my app, under the name and picture of my car at the top of the page, it still lists my vehicle status as "ready for pickup" instead of what it should read "charging, 10 hours remaining" or "parked." I had completed my service appointment almost a week ago. Can I fix this...

    anyway to change right steering wheel scroll wheel from climate on/off to fan speed?

    Every time I touch/scroll (not depress) the right hand steering wheel scroll wheel it turns the climate control on or off. What would really be useful is if it adjusted the AC fan speed rather than having to do through the center screen controls. Any genius ideas?

    can someone explain how navigate on AP is supposed to take exits?

    I keep experimenting with navigate on AP (2018 MS with legacy EAP) and just don't get it. The navigation part shows the highway exits, but the car makes no attempt to take the exits (even if I use the turn signal). Shouldn't the car be taking the exit ramps on its own? When do most folks turn on...

    wheel interchangeability year to year

    I am looking to purchase used 21" wheels for my 2018 MS. I realize I need Gen 2 TPMS, but can I buy OEM MS wheels from any year (say from a 2013 or 2015 car)? Will the bolt pattern, offset and center caps and everything be interchangeable except for the TPMS?

    dynamic pricing by Tesla on new existing inventory, dramatic difference from original window sticker

    I recently took delivery of a leftover 2018 Model S100D demo with 650 miles, from existing inventory of a dealer about 400 miles away in a different state. The virtual window sticker image on the Tesla website listed the features and pricing on the car as if it were ordered currently, not as it...

    confusing, ever-changing features of EAP, AP and FSD

    I realize they keep changing what features come with AP vs. FSD and thus the cost for each (now AP standard). But, even doing my research, I remain confused about the features I have vs. should have on my own car. I have a 2018 (Nov 2018 build date) 100D. The window sticker says AP, but per...

    AP vs. FSD -confusing or deceptive advertising?

    I am taking delivery today on a new S with AP. On the Tesla website, it clearly shows AP as including self-parking, summon and navigate on autopilot (see screenshots attached). Yet on my more detailed purchase info, it now shows these features only with FSD. Like much else with Tesla, finding...

    did 2018 "premium upgrades package" include heated steering wheel?

    I see that the current 2019 package does, plus heated seats front and rear. But I just bought a new 2018 model year S (a dealer demo with 600 miles at a significant discount) and wonder if it has a heated wheel.
