2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

[vm92]

Have a long range that was delivered to me on 07/15. Noticed the dome lights won't turn on anymore when on auto. The setting is on auto and whenever a door is open or car is turned off/on the lights won't turn on unless I manually toggle it on the screen

Have long range running 36.8.6 (10.4 FSD beta). Over the past few days have noticed XM radio just disappears from sources section of audio. Also command to dial telephone number by number comes up with error saying, "command not understood." Fix for both is yoke two button reboot but with foot on brake. Two button yoke reboot doesn't resolve on its own.

If the car is in gear or forward reverse they won’t.
Maybe that’s what happening?

Good to know that foot action is required. Two button did not restore my XM after it disappeared yesterday. Instead it came back on its own after a couple of stops. Still on 2021.36.5.1.

hmm. I thought it was well established that foot on the brake reboot didn’t do anything different. there is a thread about that somewhere I thought.

Good thing you live in Seattle and have sunshine 3 hours per year.

Don't say so many good things about Seattle. 1h MAX!

Seems like there is a glitch they can't fix. I have noticed the same, after turning it to "on" or "off" then back to "Auto" it works for a day or 2 and then will stop working again. Same with Sentry it can switch to "off" itself without touching it.

Vibration update here. tl;dr Vibration returns.

So how do you put the car into "deep sleep"

Lock it and walk away for half an hour and dont touch or control it on the app.. If that doesnt work try 45 min - 1hr.. A tech told me it usually 20-30 min..

Sometimes mine don't turn on but then will turn on next time I get in the car. I curse EM but don't touch the settings - always on auto.

I thought mine rattle in th rear was seat related. The SC had it for a day taking apart everything to find it, They found that it was the third brake light coming lose. It is held in by double sided tape (WTF?). So they ordered a new light and back window. The back window has to come out to replace the light and they broke the glass taking it out. Now - no rattle.

Jeeeeeeez. How did they even notice the brake light was loose?

Just was watching a video of a newly-delivered Plaid, and that rear door chrome/carbon fiber alignment makes me so envious! Mine is so off on both sides of the car it's hilarious!

A LOT of process of elimination. The amount of man hours and parts spent was absurd to fix just this one issue.

Right, but was it visually obvious when they looked at it that it was the culprit before removing/breaking the rear glass?

It’s finally pristine.

Probably not but I do mot for sure. They could not get to it without removing the glass. Knowing they would probably break it, they ordered in a new glass to change at the same time so I would not be without the car waiting.

I have to give them kudos for even coming to this conclusion.

Me too--since this is a recent development, I assume it will get addressed in one of the mysterious bug fix updates.

Just got my S Plaid and my yoke lights also flickering which is very annoying. Can anyone confirm this is fixed with a firmware update?

 

[WilliamG]

So I have a long trip today and set charging to 100% on my 48A/11kW charger. Is it normal to taper off this much as it reaches 100%?
