    Supercharging rate option

    Supercharging locations are getting crowded in some places. I believe it is time to add a very small, simple, though handy tool to manage supercharging. New button! By default, this is set to STANDARD for every location. User has the option to click REDUCED on the screen (or app) before...

    Sometimes I want headlights staying on when I'm out of the car

    I don't use the "keep headlights on for a while after exit" feature. All I want is to be able to manually keep headlights on when I'm the only person with the car and I need to step out and do something, like get the mail at the side of the road. Or shine my lights on a person changing a flat...

    Winter Climate Control - "Pre-heating" is incredibly limited

    Hi - starting our first winter here in the northeast with a 2017 Model S 90D. I LOVE this car. It's important that when you hear me whining here that you (and I) remember that! I sprung for all of the winter features - all-wheel drive, heated front and rear seats, steering wheel, you name it...

    Heated seats cycling

    On my drive home from delivery, I tried using the heated seats. As expected, they made my buns and warm, minimizing my need or the heater. However, at least two times during my 90-minute drive heaters cycled off, leaving my without warmth for at least 5 minutes before they recycled back on. The...

    Help me understand the streaming music service

    I took delivery of my hot red Model S yesterday (In praise of an excellent order and delivery service - Nashville) and, while driving home, I thought I would see what the music streaming was like—something I have never had access to before, so I hope you will forgive my naivete. So I tried...

    Tech Package Upgrades for a Non-Tech Package Ca

    When I bought my CPO 2013 S60 I didn't think the absence of the tech package was a big deal, but I'm finding that I am really missing some of the features and am looking into what I can and can't upgrade on my car: The halogen headlights are terrible, so I'm curious if I can just buy OEM HID...

    Model 3 Software Updates

    Not sure if there is a thread directly for reporting new updates to the software or not but if there is, mods can crush or link us to that. Thanks! I'm exciting to see the new updates for each new software update that is released.

    Where did my software update go?

    Ok. I got a notification overnight that there is a software update ready. I ran to the car but I didn’t get the usual dialogue window to start the installation! I did the double scroll buttons reset with no help. Did Tesla withdraw the updates or they send me the wrong notification? Btw I’m on...

    App (iPhone) climate control no longer works

    So the climate function on my Tesla app stopped working. The app turns the heater on, it runs for 10 seconds +/- then shuts off. If I am in the car and turn the heater on using the app the heater starts and runs normally without shutting down. Any ideas?

    Model 3 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speeds and capabilities

    What are the Model 3's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules capable of? Model S and Model X are stuck with 2.4GHz 802.11g and Bluetooth 2.1 (I think). Here is to hoping that the Model 3 delivers more modern specifications. Any details on internal manufacturer, chipsets, and versions would be helpful too.

    TeslaFi - dash discrepancy

    Worthless internet browser?

    The internet browser is embarrassing. I had stopped trying to do anything with it a few months back, and went back to it briefly yesterday and couldn't get anything to load. Does anyone use it for anything regularly?

    S 100D Audio Question

    I just upgraded from 85D to 100D. Both had upgraded audio package. I did not expect any difference in sound quality, but.. the audio sounds better in the 100D. I usually listen to Slacker. Equalizer settings are the same. Sotware version of car is same. 85D was 3G whereas 100D is LTE, but...

    Does AutoPilot (AP) Do This On Your Model S

    Just curious to know if anyone out there thinks, as I do, that the Lane Correction is not as smooth as it should be (software version 2017.44). Now I love using AutoPilot on California freeways. Just one thing bugs me. When driving on an absolutely straight section of the highway, and not...

    Did vector mapping just got released?

    This morning, driving to work, I noticed that the map zoomed in after I left the freeway without me giving any input. Driving home, it did the same. Zooming in when not on the freeway and zooming out when on the freeway without any route planned. I looked closer at the map and it seem quite...

    Make Slacker Play the Whole Album?

    Is there a way? I know that the majority of the tracks are available to Slacker because I've heard them separately. For example, Don Henley - Building the Perfect Beast. I think the only track I didn't hear was the title track. Everything else came up. While we're at it, is there a way to...

    Explaining the new Easy Entry feature in update 2017.46.8

    Today I tested the Easy Entry feature. It mostly works as expected, but there is some quirk that I'm not sure is a bug or just the way it works. For me it's a bug, but not sure what you guys think of it. It seems the easy entry does not work for entering when someone not using it has left the...

    Preconditioning: temps going higher than setting?

    Just by chance, I was checking up on our Model X via the Tesla phone app and noticed the heater on while it was sitting in the garage . We do have preconditioning on so it might have memorized my wife's previous schedule (she's the primary driver). But why is it taking the interior temp beyond...

    Noob nav audio question

    Just got my Model X today, so pardon me for the incredibly basic question. How do I get rid of the audio prompts when navigating to a particular destination? I like the maps & the turn-by-turn instructions, but I prefer to just view them rather than be told them.

    Slacker: No results found

    Slacker and Alexa??

    Tesla Forcing Slacker to Stream in Low Quality?

    Should I Upgrade to LTE?

    Been getting a TON of Slacker errors and slow load times on my Radio. I was thinking of upgrading to LTE from 3G, but from some of the posts I see, it looks like 3G may actually be faster. Has anyone who has upgraded found the LTE experience to be a lot better than the old 3G experience?

    Anti Teft Idea: Activate Passive Entry From App
