When the eMMC chip in my main computer started to fail, I had a third party repair place change it out. They re-route the diagnostic data to them in the process so I don't have to go to Tesla service centers any more. I have PTSD from all the bad things the Dedham and Watertown SCs did to me...

I've seen a ton of recommended tracks to listen to throughout this thread an a couple others. Could someone (maybe @bunnylebowski, who mentioned most of them) collect them in one sticky thread so I can try them all out when I get my AGT?

My 2016 Model S also does weird things with audio restarting when I get back in the car. Tesla seems to have never figured this out (at least up until my car stopped getting OTA updates in 2020). Slacker usually is reliable at resuming. FM usually will still play the same thing next time...

In an EV, the 12v battery is charged by a converter from the main battery. It’s being used to power electronics throughout the car. Failure of that converter can lead to the 12v battery being drained and not recharged. This happened to my 2013 Model S about 6 months into owning it.

Looks really nice. How do they anchor into the floor? Did you have to drill holes in the metal, or are they just hooked into the carpet below? How long to install? It's impressive that you've kept the white carpets that clean. Makes me want to reconsider getting them...

Don’t forget naming and caching! We need to abolish DST, it’s insanely hard to work around congress changing when it starts every few years.

I think it would be cool if the app theme matched the current theme in the car, and if it could be changed from the app. I also wish the car could automatically change that theme either by weather conditions or time of day.

They probably adjusted the rate of pressure onset to the break pads. Maybe they added in motor assisted old as a way to give more time for the pads to clamp down. Increasing the brake system pressure more slowly could avoid the clunk noise.

This could still be a problem that needs to be fixed with an update. If you are seeing the location of some other real Air then it’s a potential privacy problem.

I would also buy this if you can fabricate more of them. I like the design idea described.

When I take trips in my Tesla on really long trips, I pick my route ahead of time to make sure there are chargers along it. There always are now, but that wasn’t always the case. I look to see if there are any spots where the chargers are particularly far apart, and if so plan to intentionally...

I got my first Model S in February 2013 with VIN ending in the 6000 range. The software was annoying for a few months, but after about a year and a half everything was pretty good. The second car I got 3.5 years later had faster hardware, higher resolution center screen, faster UI motions, etc...

Keep in mind that the voltage is generated by the source of the power, not the destination. Voltage is like the equivalent of water pressure in a plumbing system, and current would be the flow rate. When charging from an EA station, that station should provide the same voltage electric...

Can expensive after market wheels like these be repaired any more easily than other aluminum wheels? My understanding is that most of the time an aluminum wheel will crack if you try to repair it. I'd be very hesitant to spend spend this much money for wheels knowing they'll be used on...

That is indeed exactly the picture I had in my head.

Does anyone have a sense of whether the car audio can be heard from outside the car? I can often hear neighboring cars at stoplights in my Tesla, and I don't like being that guy. Even when I'm sitting in a parking lot waiting for something I'm uber concious of how loud others outside might hear...

I had Sirius prior to their merger with XM, and I cancelled my subscription shortly after. The two had a huge overlap of channels/content, and when they decided which channels to keep it was invariably the worse of the two options IMO. Also, they did something that massively degraded the audio...

That's why I said I hope they start to look better ;-) I watched a few videos about them, and some solar installers were commenting on difficulty of installing raised panels b/c of wind updraft and the need to get the lag bolts in exactly the right place, lest they miss the rafter they're...

I think the studios are claiming "this is a pre-production model" as an excuse for anything that is currently wrong with the car. I first saw the car at the meatpacking studio in NYC where no one in the studio would talk to me, then later saw the Boston studio after it opened and was told they...

I plan to get something like solar shingles when my roof eventually needs to be re-done. I would never buy another Tesla product having owned one of their cars and lived through the horrendous customer experience for 5 years, so that means I've got to go with an option like GAF's Timberline...
