2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

- the level of volume on a phone call is way lower than the level playing music so I listen to music at 4 then phone conversation at level 7?
- does the included USB stick need to be formatted to use it for record?

One thing I noticed is that Bluetooth audio volume seems to be controlled by both the car and the Bluetooth device, not like in some systems where the car controls the volume entirely or is linked to the phone volume control with AVRCP or whatever does that.

They told me at pickup I would need to format the USB drive but that seems not to be true.

No luck with the software update on my phone key issue

Same here. I have deleted and reinstalled the app. I have rebooted the car and my phone. I have cleared the bluetooth cache and such from my phone. Repared the phone. Nothing has helped. Still no gray arrow. All other functions are normal.

Ive had my new LR for two days and heres is my list of issues

-when I try to open up the owners manual the screen locks up
- I cant get my iphone to show its messages on the screen
- occasionally when streaming music the song skips (probably just cell reception)
-when i pull into my garage the charging door wont open with pushing the button on charger unless either I manually open it with app or I lock the doors? (Im probably doing something wrong here)
- on freeway with auto pilot on the auto lane change doesn’t work when I turn on turn signal
- the level of volume on a phone call is way lower than the level playing music so I listen to music at 4 then phone conversation at level 7?
- does the included USB stick need to be formatted to use it for record?

anyone else?

Autopilot does not change lanes. You need to pony up $10K for that feature now.

Thanks for that tidbit, not very clear about that in the owners manual

I did pay for the FSD and it works pretty well. Not to the point of fully trusting yet but getting comfortable with it. It does seem to like to take offramps at a pretty fast clip.

Ok, how about auto parking and summon? I haven’t seen these features being available yet either.

Problem: Vehicle can't be woken from sleep when on wifi with poor/no phone data connection (LTE etc)

I think that's all Teslas, no? When my car goes to sleep it disconnects from WiFi. Only the SMS to the LTE module wakes it up.

Good thread. My issues so far:
- something loose and rolling around in the passenger door
- rattle from dash
- condensation inside taillight
- driver side window glass is warped, feels like I’m cross eyed when looking out

All easily fixed I think, and otherwise the car is a gem! Anyone else see any of these?

Also is anyone else deciding to skip ppf? I’m on the fence, I’ve never done it before, not sure on the value since it costs just as much to fix the ppf as it does to repaint bumper or hood in a couple of years?

My 2016 seems to have no issue in the same spot in the same garage, no AT&T coverage at my house at all.

Hey can you guys pull up the owners manual on your screen? Mine keeps locking up when I try.

Yes the navigation is a little goofy but it loads

That is now part of FSD.

Ah there's an issue. How do you initiate auto park (like pulling into the garage)? Manual is unclear. With my 2016 I park, take foot off brake, tap park button twice, then select direction.

Seems this app phone key issue is not new. No response on the thread indicating it was resolved.

App Version 3.3.5 issue

After getting the update and the box o' loot icon my phone key will open doors, trunk, frunk etc EXCEPT the "phone Key" icon says "set up your phone as a key" It does nothing when touched. Everything else works fine. Logged out and back in. No change. Rebooted phone and magically "phone key...

I don't have the new S

Regarding your second point about auto park with your 2016 - I can't even remember the last time I used Auto park on my 2016 , I've forgotten how it even works lol

I use it to put it in the garage pretty much every time.

I have to try this , as my garage is very narrow and it's a pain to park in there.

Do you have FSD? If not, no lane changing.

The charging door won't open without the car being unlocked. The Tesla charging unit can open the charging door by pressing the button on the charger.

Some of the integrated dash USBs seem to not work for sentry from reports. You might need Tesla to give you a new one.

I took another look at the manual and noticed it said autopark may not be available at delivery.
