No, I don't. My screen looks completely different (except for the red band around the display). I have a 2016 S90D. Maybe they're different than others. You're not in "service plus" mode, are you? If so, how do you get there? I can only get into service mode.

I looked and looked - no such category on my screen. The closest is a Door Handle Calibration button, but when I pick that I get a message that says my door handles don't need to be calibrated.

That's interesting. Where do you go in service mode to see the door handles? I couldn't find anything at all.

The other day I went to get in my 2016S. When the handles extended, the driver's door handle extended far enough that it released the latch and the door popped open to the second catch. I tried to get in the car, but since the handle was already all the way out (not at the normal extension...

One of the "fun" things about reading speed limit signs - often schools zones have a posted speed limit for certain hours. The car can't read the hours, so it slows to whatever the school limit (+5) speed is all the time. On top of that, in many places there's a sign that says "end school zone,"...

There's one road near my house that's posted 40 mph with a sign just past a corner. When I'm coming straight down the road the car reads the sign and autopilot maintains that speed all the way. When I come down the side street and turn onto the road the car apparently doesn't see the 40 mph...

Maybe you should change your handle to "SteelKnievel" ...

99% range shows as 262 miles. At 84 on the interstate (speed limit is 80) that's outrageously optimistic, but at 60 on US and state highways it's only about 10% less, depending on wind (and in Wyoming it's always windy!). Slowing down more will get me to actual range meeting estimated range (as...

I just got home from a long distance trip from Wyoming to southern Arizona and back. Several things stick out in my mind concerning the car and the charging infrastructure. First, I had more trouble with superchargers being off line or not working properly than during all the trips I took in...

I just finished a round trip from Casper WY to Tucson AZ. Total distance was 2,290 miles in my 2016 S90D. I had problems at three different Superchargers. I thought I'd list them here, along with some thoughts about each one. First problem: First leg of the trip was from Casper to Rawlins, WY...

I'm not too worried. Personally, I'd welcome any improvements in visual (and aural) alerts. More nags? I seldom get a nag since I generally keep my right hand on the wheel, but I can live with nags coming quicker when the car can't detect my hand on the wheel. On an AP1 I can't think of a way...

Wish I'd have thought to do that.

Mine took about an hour to do. Wait time was about forty-five minutes before they got to it, so all in all I spent under two hours at the center.

Sadly, my wife might. Absolute veto power.

This has become of serious interest because I got an email from Tesla today telling me that I can transfer my free supercharging for life from my 2016 S to a new S, X or Y if I take delivery before 31 December. Has me thinking about it very seriously.
