The article is not very specific about the expected features. I am still holding out hope for being able to turn on defrosters/defoggers remotely!

I'm not sure if this the same problem your having, but since the latest round of updates (2.52.20, then 2.52.22 this morning), audio from my phone often does not work when I first enter the car. (The car recognizes the phone and appears to start playing the last source where it left off, but...

Winter is coming! Does anyone have a suggestion for turning on front and rear defrosters remotely? Too bad the app does not do it (yet?). Obviously there are bigger priorities, but it seems like adding the icons to the bottom left and right of the "Climate" tab of the app would be pretty...

Thanks. I had no idea ev-fw.com existed. I added my info there.

I also received and installed the update this morning -- Sig 6xx. I am experiencing the same problem with TuneIn

Sig 6xx. I received and installed 8.0 this morning.

Hear, hear! - - - Updated - - - I just noticed that change this morning---completely inexplicable. It is not like they needed the real estate for something else. Too bad, I used that feature frequently.

Thanks Johan. I see that my post did not capture the first part of PureAmps's post, which discussed the possibility of remotely turning on front and rear defrosters. Sorry about that. Does that change your answer?

Another winter is almost upon us. Any idea whether this update to the app is in the works? Does anyone know if the "Remote S" app supports this function?

Congrats! (Now I'm at 100) :)

Great news! Thanks for the update.

I was there today and tried plugging in. No juice yet, but I could hear the transformer humming. Great to have an option off the GSP.

I agree that 4G will be nice when it arrives, but it does not warrant delaying a purchase decision in my opinion. I suspect every day you delay getting behind the wheel of the Model S will be a day you look back on with regret once you have it. :smile:

Excellent! I will definitely note my support. Done.

Good thought. Glad to hear you have been pushing for something similar. I have no doubt we will see this functionality in the app eventually, particularly with many thousands of owners experiencing their first winter with the car. - - - Updated - - - I emailed my customer advocate when the...

Has anyone figured out a way to remotely activate the front/rear defrosters? Being able to turn on the cabin heating generally is of course fantastic, but sometimes defrosting the front and rear windows is what I real need. It is a shame that we don't yet have that functionality on the...

Any thoughts on why the unveiling is at Hawthorne Airport? Perhaps it suggests they want to show of the performance of dual motors on a runway.

I have a Signature and got the update today as well. Can't wait to check it out tonight.

This is really helpful. Thanks!

I pulled into a parking garage in Manhattan yesterday morning and was stunned to be turned away by the attendant. He was very apologetic, but said he had been instructed by the company not to accept Model Ss. When I asked why, he said he was told they were too expensive, and the liability and...

I had them made by EVOD Industries in California to fit the Luganos. The price for a set of four with a machined finish was $375; polished would have been $450. I get the sense that there would be a discount for a bulk order, but I wanted to check them out first before recommending the product...

Well I finally got the center caps. Here is one picture. I will post some more when they are on the wheels (hopefully this weekend). They came out pretty nicely.

These are center caps I had made to fit the Rial Lugano wheels. They are solid aluminum, so quite a bit heavier than the plastic center caps that come with the wheels (or the OEM center caps for that matter).

I think it is a great idea. My understanding is that one of the reasons New Jersey would not allow Superchargers on I-95 or the Garden State Parkway is because it would discriminate against owners of other EVs at a public facility. Silly rationale, I agree, but there it is. If the problem...

Tsportline- Great looking wheels! Best of luck with them. What is their load rating? And are they forged or cast?

I hesitate to make this post for fear of jinxing myself, but I am coming to the end of my second winter driving Rial Luganos on abysmal New Jersey roads, and I have not had any issues with bent rims. - - - Updated - - - I'm really sorry to hear about the issue you had with the Rials, vgrinshpun.

I have had my Model S for about 14 months now and never had an issue about getting flashed at night until about a month ago. At first I thought it might be a night-time version of the Tesla thumbs up, but in light of this thread and the sudden frequency of the gesture, I will get it checked by...

I had the same issue, which was fixed by replacing the handles. My understanding from the service center is that they will be able to resolve the problem in the future through the software.

My standard-issue interior New Jersey EZPass transponder only worked intermittently when installed above the rear view mirror in the suggested location. I exchanged it for one of the larger exterior transponders that is supposed to be mounted on the license plate bracket. Instead of mounting...

Artsci- Uggh! I get a pit in my stomach just looking at the pictures. I really feel for you. So glad nobody was injured. She'll be as good as new soon.

xhawk101- Tesla service center put my Luganos on for their second season yesterday. Tesla will install aftermarket wheels (at least in the NY and NJ area). With regards to your post below [#250] the OEM center caps will not fit these wheels. - - - Updated - - - Artsci- The car looks...

I bought a pair of Rain-X Latitude wipers. Although they work well, they stand higher off the glass than the OEM wipers and obstruct the windshield wiper fluid spray. The car is in for its annual service, and I am going to have them just replace the Rain-X wipers with standard blades. I would...

I made contact with a vendor that said they could manufacture aluminum billet center caps that would fit, although I never followed through on it. The company was EVOD Industries is California. I hope to get them made or find another alternative before the wheels go back on in the fall. My...

I got the Rial Lugano wheels through Tunershop for winter use. I received many compliments on the looks, and they performed admirably. Most of the information I have about ordering them is set forth in the string Odenator pointed to, and particularly in post #59...

I took off my Rial Lugano/Pirelli Sottozero wheels/tires today. Here is the information imprinted on the inside of the wheels, and some details about the tread depth of the tires as of today. Hopefully someone can provide a view on whether there are any performance issues with these wheels...

I hope to put my summer wheels/tires back in service this weekend. I am wondering whether I should mark the winter wheels/tires coming off the car in any particular way so that they get rotated correctly when I put them back in service in the fall? I assume you want to avoid the risk that...

FlasherZ, I did a fair amount of research before purchasing these wheels, but I don't have nearly the knowledge or experience on this topic of some on this forum (e.g. wycolo, jerry33). All I can tell you is that the wheel/tire combo performed admirably for me this winter. The wheels require...

Al- Sorry I missed this post. I still love the Luganos. They handled well throughout the winter, and I have had lots of compliments on them. The weather took at turn for the worse recently, so I've still got them on for the moment. I'll probably make the switch back to 21"s the first week...

Nice wheels. Where did you get the P85 badge?

I picked up the Viair 00073 70P Heavy Duty Portable Compressor from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012WHBSO/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and have been very happy with it. If your tire pressure warning is coming on then disappearing, you are likely at the low end of the...

Driving down a side street in my town this morning, I saw a group of 10-year-old boys about 200 yards ahead on skateboards/scooters. One of them saw we coming, pointed at the car, then ran out into the middle of the road to wave me down. I had a brief but fun interaction with them that still...

I have a similar problem with my car. After a panic the first morning when I had to get to work but the cable would not release, I discovered a work-around. It turns out that my car will not properly unlock the charging cable (see below) if the battery is fully charged, but it will unlock it if...

I am pretty sure the silver Wolfrace Luganos in Artsci's post [#71] are a rebranded version of the Rial Luganos I have been using. It looks like the weather will be warm enough for me to put my 21" OEM wheels back on next weekend.

I love it. Great idea, artsci. Perhaps there should be an awards dinner at or around the time of the TM annual meeting. It would be a great opportunity for everyone to get together and celebrate what TM and its owners are accomplishing.

I was not able to do the weekend trip, but I could get to NYC today if that is going to happen.

Thanks to Tesla for standing tall and to all those participating in this weekend's journey for demonstrating the car's capabilities and their devotion to the cause. We are all proud of you and proud to be part of this community. Safe travels!

I am having the same experience on my Galaxy Nexus. No problems on my apple devices (itouch and ipad).

424 wh/mi for my first 3,600 miles. Most of those miles are being logged driving my son to school early in the morning in the cold with lots of hills. Not ideal conditions. I am expecting much better when the weather warms and school lets out.
