User Interface

I'm really good at not forgetting items but I was rushed and forgot my phone during holidays. I only noticed when I was halfway across the city. Model S knows I carry a cell phone and looks to connect to it every time I use it, so it seemed to me that having an option to notify that expected...

Model x newb here - only had this car for three days. We have configured the auto-dim headlight feature to AUTO. Coming home from party past night (this was the first time we had had the car out at night), I noticed that the lights didn't seem to change based on oncoming traffic, etc. The...

i was just driving home and my monitor froze. The navigation is stuck, music died, garage door opener doesn't work and the App isn't even able to communicate. My car is bricked. Where the heck is the rest button on this? It's a 2017 Model S, software updated let night.

In the app, I have preheated my S almost every day this winter, yet I've never seen this icon until today. I'm not known for my powers of observation, so it is possible that I somehow never noticed it, but I don't think so. There appears to be a deliberate little line to the right of the box...

So, have had the model S for 3 months and Spotify was working fine until recently. Now won't log in with Tesla account or my personal account. Keep getting message that "Spotify is unavailable at this time. Please try again later". Anyone else in Australia experiencing this? Is Spotify working...

I asked my new Model X to "Navigate to Leavenworth, Washington" while fully charged in my garage in Redmond, WA (just north and east of Seattle). It dutifully drew the (only) route up State Route 2. Fine. However, it reminded me the return trip would leave me with -13% power. I can only assume...

I'm pretty good about remembering my car key so I've never had need to use remote unlock in earnest. But today I was shoveling snow, wanted to move the car, didn't feel like going to get my key, did have my phone, so tried it. Didn't work. In fact, this has happened to me before in similar...

I received & installed the 2017.50.2 update on Christmas Eve. Then yesterday (29th Dec) I had a 'Navigation updated' message on the main screen (no new update). Does anyone know what was added? Presume the previous update then caused the nav to update OTA 4 days later?

The option is greyed out in mine and I just wanted to confirm that this is normal behavior at this point. I assume it is, and that the option will be enabled soon via OTA update, but would appreciate if someone could confirm.

With the recent cold, my back seat passengers in my Model S were complaining that the face-level vents were not blowing any air. The rear windows were fogging up quite a bit too. The foot-level vents were blowing warm air. After playing with controls at home, the only way the face-level vents...

Took delivery of our Model 3 yesterday. Map UI is completely different than my Model S. It has been rumored on Electrek for a while. Fonts, animations, voice....all different. When you approach a turn, it shows which lane you should be in for the turn. More that I have to play with, but it's...

Since getting my Apple Watch with LTE, my outgoing call quality is completely unusable. It is only with the watch turned on and in the car. The outgoing sound is garbled and broken up. Incoming quality is just fine. Early on I thought it was just the car and Tesla replaced the mics. Apple...

Has anyone been able to pair an Apple Watch Series 3/GPS-cellular with a Tesla? Apple doesn't seem too optimistic and I can't find a thread here that talks about it so I'm guessing it's not possible. I've also been unable to pair with my BMW i3. Kind of maddening to have to a device that will...

When I get behind the wheel, I've noticed that Angel does not always remember it's me. I have two profiles, "Bill" (me) and "Marilyn" (my wife). Half the time it seems Angel sets the seats and the other configuration options for my 5'4" wife which simply won't work for my 6'2" body. Is it that...

On day three, Angel (I call my new Model X 'Angel'), I got in and noticed she seemed to be asleep. The main screen was off and (IIRC) the dash was all but off. I put my foot on the brake and got a message about having to restart--please wait. Thankfully, my wife was not with me and I didn't need...

Q: when you receive the message that an update is available, has it already been downloaded in the car’s system?

I am confused. Is the software for the model 3 U.I. different from the MS/X? Do each of the models have a unique set of features that don't necessarily apply to other models? For example, does the model 3 currently have the "easy entry/exit" feature that was just released for MS/X?

I usually keep my keys in my pocket when I'm at home and so I'm frequently triggering the auto-presenting front door when doing stuff in my garage without any intention of getting into the car. Sometimes the door eventually closes on its own and sometimes it does not. Last week it happened while...

Turn off automatic doors (or leave the FOB in the house) if you don’t want several inches of snow in your drivers seat...went outside after a 19” night with FOB in my pocket to clear snow...driver’s side door helped...unfortunately...:mad:

So I am in Erie, PA w/50+ inches of snow on the ground (X performed surprisingly well in about 20” yesterday with stock 20” tires and set to High suspension) and a couple of times I have tried to warm the vehicle before getting in and have tried to figure out if I can have BOTH the front and...

Do different model years of the Model S have different UI interfaces? I ask because I have been recent YouTube videos showing what looks like older UIs in the S. I would think that Tesla would keep the UI uniform in all model years via updates.

The manual is stating to “touch and hold the app's icon and drag it onto the preferred viewing area” but it does not remember my preference. Is it possible for this very smart car to remember that I always want the camera at the bottom without always having to drag.

Did a search and didn't find a similar topic. I picked up my white model 3 in LA yesterday (non-employee) and love the car. Here are a few thoughts I had that could improve the car at this point in time via software updates: #1 - Scheduled Charging: Must have! I want to plug my car in and not...

Auto high beams don't appear to be enabled as a feature yet. Coming soon?

Provide an option to use WAZE GPS. I find that this software is even more up-to-date than Google as far as new roads, and if not it is very easy to contact development to add a new road.

I got a notification on Tesla app on my phone this morning saying a new software is available. But it doesn't show up on the Tesla screen. Will it show up eventually? Or do I need to go to certain screen to see it?

Just tried the show in my driveway twice with snow coming down, and both times it stopped just as the FWD started to open. Display said “Obstruction Detected”. This isn’t right.

I got an early Christmas gift this morning. Finally getting off version 2017.42! I'm now on 2017.50.2, which adds the following capabilities: Easy Entry Battery preheat capabilities Santa mode Easter Egg (very cool!) But no chill mode. What gives? Since I live in the frozen tundra of...

This has been a difficult week with an unforeseen but happy ending. I had to take my Tesla to the SC three times. For those on the other side of the Pond, it is a 2.5 hour drive across the Alps, from Lugano to Cham. Problems were Falcon doors sensors and Bluetooth issues. To make a long story...

Got it today. Will test autopilot tomorrow.

Just got a software update today. Noticed a new Christmas Easter egg, merry Christmas to you too Elon. Just say ho ho ho as a voice command and let the Holiday festivities ensue The car turns into Santa sleigh, the road turns into a snowy trail. The snow comes down and speeds up the faster...

I finally picked up my new Model X 75D. Due to a misunderstanding, I had not set up my spouse as a secondary owner, but once this was discovered, the Bellevue, Washington dealer (off NE 20th) quickly resolved the problem and I was able to get possession this morning. Of course, even after the...

Please pardon me if this has been asked. Scoured the site for quite a while and found nothing. My iPhone 10 and my P100D have issues with each other. The Bluetooth pairs, but calls out sound garbled to the other person. Perfectly clear voice sound inside the car. Service changed out the...

My Model S suddenly stopped blowing warm air from the Climate Control system. It only blows cold. I can't get to the service center until late next week and the weather is getting chilly here. Anyone have any ideas for a quick fix? A blown fuse? Where is the fuse box anyway? The seat...

Just wondering once an iPhone is synced with a M3 (or I suppose MS or MX) through bluetooth or maybe even direct connect with USB, what features would be show up on the touchscreen? Would I see a caller’s name, phone number, or picture? How about music would I control my music playlist on my...

2017 S75D. The Slacker radio almost always takes 30 seconds or so to bring up anything. Then, when playing a song, it stops to buffer about every 20 seconds. I talked to Tesla and they are saying it's a server issue on the side of Slacker and they were working on it, which is not the answer I...

So.. I hope I'm wrong here, but it sure looks like the icons along the bottom of my screen are now burned into it. Something I didn't think was possible w/LCD... Anyone else seen this? Anyone had the screen replaced? I'm under warranty until March 2019.

just was an update to my Tesla app: battery preheat is now available provided your car has v.50 or better. I’m still on v46, so I’ve gotta wait to test it.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said today that a “major navigation overhaul” is coming to Tesla vehicles in 2018. Retweeting a TMC post, Musk teased “some cool software updates.” Pressed for more information, he said, “Major navigation overhaul coming in early 2018. Will be light-years ahead of...

Source: Tesla is planning a major navigation update ‘light-years ahead’ of current system, says Elon Musk So is it safe to say it will be almost as good as Google Maps if its light years better than what we have now?

Lots of chatter on TMC about systems faults / failures traced to E Fuse. Here's our story: New Model X delivered Dec 2. Two days later, error message service needed, car not driveable showed up for a few seconds on first start of the day. Two days after that, at first start, several messages...

It seems the Spotify client in the music player doesn't respect my account's home country. It appears to always use my current location (or perhaps the car's region settings) as the basis for requesting the catalogue of songs, even though Spotify Premium accounts are not supposed to have...

So, Elon musk said the S/X would always be at the front of technology so it's a little disappointing to see Model 3s getting features S/X don't. If you watch this video you'll see the immersive sound has low/high instead of just on/off and that it has a new option, speed sensitive volume. I'm...

A few months ago didn’t we get a message from Elon saying that Autopilot is going to get some new features during the holiday season? I don’t recall 100% (also not talking about the FSD promise or any promise made pre-August) I just feel like I heard something about them giving us a fun upgrade...

Up until my latest update, 2017.42.a88..., I used the auto folding mirror function. Turning off the car, folded the mirrors, and then putting the car into reverse or drive unfolded the mirrors. With 2017.42.a88... the mirrors now unfold (open) when the doors unlock. Not optimal for me...

Does anyone know a way to fetch a software update? My car has been at 2017.42 for a long time. I don't yet have the Chill Mode or Easy Entry features and would like to try both, but I don't know of a way to force the car to look for a software update.

Model S and Model X cars currently have four different zoom/pan modes for navigation. There's north-up, direction-up, leg-zoom (when superchargers are in the mix), and trip-zoom. Months ago I saw an Electrek article showing an upcoming maps feature, which (I feel) mostly provides benefit by...

Hi guys: Had a loaner the other day- a Model S P85 and the driver display had the cars in front of me displayed. It also had adjacent lane cars shown too. On my Model X, the only cars seen on the driver display are the cars in front of me- never adjacent cars. Is that a Model S specific...

According to the UI, your driving mode (standard vs low in engine braking), engine power mode are supposed to be personalized, yet I see the setting gets changed regardless of who the driver is. Does anyone know how they can fix it?

Per the manual, you're supposed to click the LTE icon at the top of the touchscreen, When I do it nothing happens. Thanks Cliff
