Driving Dynamics

Service just updated my firmware and the app shows 2017.32 9ea02cb. I didn't see this on the forums yet and wondered if anyone has any experience with it. Of course I haven't seen the release notes since I don't have the car back yet. Didn't see it on ev-FW.com either. Will post notes once I...

It all took place Yesterday when My Wife were driving to visit one of her Colleague. While turning into a left turn at a relatively low speed she heard a Loud BANG. She did not think of much but immediately she notice that her brake were completely gone and the dash had malfunction warning all...

And now my car is shuddering/shaking when I go above 60 and previously it was fine. The tire shop is pretty reputable and called Continental Tires who said foam was in the BACK TIRES ONLY for sound insulation. Now shop is recommending that I get that wheel balanced (which I will) but has anyone...

I'm curious as to what brand / style your S came with if you ordered the 19s? All seasons? I'm looking at AWD and while I like the 21s a lot, I dont want to have to be switching wheels to deal with the winter and keep a separate set of wheels & tires. Thanks!

I recently had my $600 windshield wiper blade replacement (yeah, they did drive unit fluid and keyfob batteries too) and it seems my has developed a new tic as a result. When I engage autopilot it immediately goes to the far right of the lane, driving along the lane marker for a few seconds...

I bought some BBC adjustable rear links for my wifes 2012 P85 to tune out some of the wicked negative camber. Does anyone have a write up on the best way to go about swapping the stock ones out? I've never replaced these things on any car before, so I want to know any gotchas. I have a lift...

Some of this data is clear cut, some is anecdotal so I apologize in advance for not having it be more scientific. I got my P100d with all seasons on it and immediately changed to Yokohama V902B Winter Tires 245/45R19. The performance was amazing, best value ($420 shipped) I've ever got in a...

so...I'm at the point I need to get a new set of tires. I have an x90D, it came with continentals, 265/45/20 on the front and 275/45/20 on the rear. However, it appears some were delivered with 255/45/20 on the front, with the same 275/45/20's on the rear....on the same rims, I believe? I...

When I turn my 2017 MX right into a rising driveway, or turn right out of a descending driveway, I hear a "honk" or moan from the front right. Today I heard the noise twice on a right turn out of a descending driveway, suggesting that there is a problem in the front right and rear right. I...

Anyone ever experience a continuous BEEPING (from the seatbelt being unfastened alert) while driving? well, it beeped ALL the way to work this morning. I put on my seatbelt and put it in D, and the beeping started. I drove a few blocks, tried pulling over, parking, getting out, locking the...

So, I have been reading about the s 75 and 75d speed increase and I was contemplating if it would be possible for Tesla to increase the 0-60 time for older non performance model S 85's. I have read differing opinions regarding the older DU's are actually the same for the model S and a software...

I have been reading about a new HW 2.5 (or 2.1) update. Has anyone else read or heard anything about this new update?

I've noticed an anomaly with my classic cruise control and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it. If I'm making a gradual transition to a lower speed zone, I'll reduce speed in a number of steps. For example, if I have it set to 75mph and I'm working my way down gradually, I'll press...

QuickJack (QuickJack - Car Lift for your Home Garage or Shop) has been mentioned in a few jacking threads here but so far has not made a model with sufficient jack point spread to accommodate the Model S. I've been waiting patiently as they upgrade their collection, but their longest EXT model...

It appears, at least as near as I can tell, that the Ludicrous retrofit is no longer available for the Model S P85D and Model S P90D. Is this the case?

I have had my Model S for three months now and have tested out autopilot 2 quite a lot on New York highways. Obviously there is a lot of work to do before we get to true autopilot, but one thing I notice is that the lane integrity on 3+ lane highways is less than ideal. Even at low speeds, the...

I had an interesting experience this morning that I'm not sure what to make of, so naturally I rushed over here to tell y'all about it... Several seconds after I engaged Autopilot on my commute this morning, I got the intense, high pitched beep of the forward collision warning, but no red car...

Looking to get Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS Plus What experience ya'll got at either of these places. I would rather do Costco but they don't carry the tires.

I'm not sure vehicle hold works when driving in reverse after immediately restarting. This seems like a safety issue/serious bug. I parked in a steep parking lot. When I returned to the car, I stepped on brake, and shifted into R to back out of space. But when my foot left the brake to move...

I have encountered two "major" problems w/ my 2017 AP2 handling. Has anyone else experienced these? 1. When driving on a freeway underpass approaching a bridge overpass while driving on the freeway (especially if there is a slight dip before the overpass), the autopilot drastically engages the...

We're on a trip right now to Vermont. My wife was driving and right around the 3hr mark she disabled autosteer to get around a semi. Immediatley after that maneuver, the gray steering icon went away and kept saying "Autosteer temporarily unavailable." TACC continued to work. Figuring she just...

My MS came with the Goodyear Touring tires (the new ones with the foam inside). I'm now at 16k and it is time for new tires. I've been really happy with these tires but not happy about only 16k (especially after hearing that the Michelins are getting 30+!! Anyone else with the Tourings also...

By all accounts, my Tesla S is one of the safest cars on the road ... with one glaring exception - The blindspot monitor. One of the reasons I bought a Tesla was for the safety features, but the blindspot monitors (if you can call them that) are nearly useless since they don't accurately notify...

so I want to drop my 75D a tad bit but have not been successful I have a 2017 75D. Anything available I keep finding only stuff on rear wheel drive.

Does any one else's cameras seem to need image stabilization? Things I notice to lead me towards image stabilization problems: 1) autopilot on curves with noticeable waves, a single bump is not a problem, but a large slow dip or repeated dips cause autopilot steering errors. They have to change...

On three occasions in the past six weeks, my Model S has come to an abrupt stop while backing up. There were no audio tones, and I did not observe any instrument panel messages. My initial impression was that the car had stopped to avoid contact with something behind, but each time, there was...

When my Model S was delivered last fall, the rear view camera seemed properly aligned. But recently I have noticed that when backing into a parking spot with camera looking square to curb, I get out to find car is not squarely in the space. The front driver's side corner is much closer to...

Does anyone else notice that both in AP and ACC, the car follows white cars more closely and brakes later? I imagine this is due to the system not recognizing the proper distance due to a lack of contrast?

Last weekend, my wife and and drove home from Cincinnati, OH to Richmond, VA. We were on a long, strait, flat highway in Ohio with autopilot on. Sitting upright in the seat as I normally would, the car tells me to hold the steering wheel once every few minutes, give or take. A ways into this...

I have bought a Model X75D and I live in Oregon. I do a lot of off-road driving in the mountains. There is a lot of ice and snow. The alternative for me was a Jeep Cherokee Rubicon, but I did not want to wait for the new Jeep in December, so I got this Model X. I wonder if anyone has put...

I am sure someone has done extensive comparisons of this so I figured I would ask. To get the most of our your regen what technique is best (creates most regen power)? Try to time it perfect and completely let off the go pedal until you hit 8mph then apply brake at stop light Lift go pedal...

Anyone seen / read about the actual dimensions? I'm adding everything I find here, which so far isn't much. If I were to guess the 18", I would bet on 225/50R18 19" 235/40R19 tires (Continental ProContact RX m+s) [1] ??? wheels 18" ??? tires (???) ??? wheels [1] Exclusive: Tesla Model 3...

Anyone know roughly what the distance from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well lip should be at Standard height? My X looks higher to me in all settings all of the sudden. Curious what others measure at. Mine is approx 32.5" in the rear and 31.75" in the front.

There is a section of interstate highway on which I travel every day that has long, vertical cracks in the asphalt that have been repaired by road crews with tar line inlays that run parallel to the line marker but are wavy . My model S, with auto pilot engaged, can't seem to decide whether to...

I have the regular Primacy on my 70D and I know they have been Original equipment on many Tesla's but was wondering if any users have tried the Run Flat version. It seems to get the best reviews of the run flats on tire rack but curious if anyone had an opinion on them?

Third party site says it came in 2015, but it seems it came 2014 Can someone detail the nuances? Was it late 2014?

This was posted up on Jalopnik. From what I can tell, I'm not sure who reacted first (in terms of sub-second reaction). But you'll see the Model S traveling at at a relative high rate of speed compared to the stopped traffic in Lane 1 on the freeway. A car, with signal, attempts to move from...

Anyone here try or use them. Considering as a replacement for Michelin Primacy?

Does anyone have any idea why my suspension won't adjust via GPS locations? I want my X to drop to Very Low when I get home in my garage to make more clearance for the FWD to open. For whatever reason, it simply doesn't work. I've tried multiple locations such as work etc. to drop to very low...

What y'all think about this Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus Compared with stock Michelin Primacy MXM that comes with the Tesla or Bridgestone Serenity Plus? It is highly recommended on Tire Rack. I wonder if they are quieter and more comfortable?

After a 5 hour road trip (S. Tahoe to home in South Bay Area) in our MX yesterday, we got a low tire pressure warning during the last 15 mins before reaching our home. Thank gawd it happened then and not during our trip in Tahoe or worse, during the drive to or from. We tried out the new Tesla...

So, during my last annual checkup the service guy advised me that Tesla engineering feels that the dual motor Tesla MS & MX don't need to get a tire rotation... at all. Anybody believe this? I am continuing to do so for now every 10,000 just to be on safe side. My last set lasted 48,000 and I...

Tesla Model S back at the top at Consumer Reports

I live in Southern California so snow or rain is not an issue. If you have a choice between getting a 75 or a 75D and you are most interested in the fun of driving and most of your driving is freeway and curvy roads which would you get saying money is not the issue.

Does the group have a For Sale/ Wanted to Buy section? Mike

Note this is not a complaint, just an observation. Some people have brought up questions about range loss and I verified it Sunday. I had an 1 1/2 hour appointment and took pictures of the instrument cluster before and after. I left the house with 266 or 267 miles range (I forget which) and...

Phoenix tv is just now showing video of a wrong way driver fatal collision that occurred before sunrise this morning. The offending driver was killed and other driver's condition unknown. The car that looks to be mostly intact seems to be a white Model X. The other car is unrecognizable.
