My point is you should have paid less for the other service. If the other service was warranty service, then that's a moot point.
It's the latter... The other work is warranty work. I was at 49,200+ miles for the dash work.
That's why I was quoted the "project price". I thought to save on labor because "they were already in there."

This happened to me during my LTE upgrade. They damaged the front panel, and had to replace it. Something happened during the "old panel" to "new panel" data transfer and everything was lost. I'm still working with the SC trying to get a lifetime energy number that I was keeping on trip counter "A".
Did you ever get any data back?

After reading all the feedback on the LTE upgrade I've decided to have it done to my car. Now I'm just hoping I don't end up with a bunch of rattles because the last service really got the car totally dialed in.
When my data was reset following repairs from my deer strike, I lost my lifetime trip meter as well. The service center asked engineering if it was possible to restore it - the answer was "no".
Now that the 17" display is upgraded and takes less computer power to render, I find everything faster. Is the LTE upgrade as necessary following v7.0? Opinions please!
It's not necessary at all I think. I only did it because I had a service credit to use and $1,000 in more Tesla schwag seemed unnecesary=) It was in for annual service so figured I'd just get it done. Hard to believe I've had the car for over 3 years.

Has anyone tried the TuneIn items that "require high bandwidth," that is, don't work on 3G but do work on Wi-Fi?
Do these become usable after an LTE Upgrade?

I was seeing that message for Radio Paradise frequently (but not always, for some reason), but I haven't seen it since the upgrade.

Havent seen it before nor after. Mostly listen to bbc radio channels though, which one did you see this on?
overall very happy with LTE upgrade. As well as snappier map updates, Waze for Tesla appears to update much quicker.

The podcast I referenced, The Black Tapes Podcast, won't play on my non-LTE and insists on Wi-Fi.
I can test it on LTE as early as tomorrow when the shop's done with her.

Presuming you mean Black Tapes Podcast, this doesn't play: high bw required - connect to wifi to play
sorry, looks like it's a "No". Ymmv however as I'm on 1 bar of LTE here ;-)

Yeah, "Podcast." (fixed text)
I told them to go ahead with the LTE, I was dithering on the decision since my 3G is usually pretty good. And I've installed a WiFi repeater for the driveway. Oh well, maybe the cable refresh will improve my audio or I can subjectively think it does!
Thanks for checking.

I've noticed since upgrading to firmware 7.0 that my LTE signal has shown fewer bars in the same location as I used to get in 6.2 - anyone else notice this?
