Tesla Model S Forum in UAE

When the 2023 model makes a creaking sound from the chassis ball joint while turning the steering wheel sharply at a standstill, what could be the reason?

When turning the steering wheel while stationary or at a large angle, if you hear a noise from the chassis transmission ball joint, it could be due to wear or lack of lubrication in the ball joint. It's recommended to have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the exact cause and address any potential issues.

Hey car enthusiasts, does the Tesla Model S have a battery similar to the ones in fuel cars? Does it need to be replaced separately?

The 2017 Model 75D with dual motors has a loud motor current sound during normal acceleration and deceleration. The service center checked it and said it's normal.

Does the Model S have a dial instrument theme?

I have a 2016 P100D and purchased FSD. The car's computer has already been upgraded to 3.0, but the MCU is still NVIDIA. It should be at least the Atom MCU 2.0 to run FSD. Will the official service provide a free upgrade? Looking forward to it 🤩

Is it true that you can play Forza Horizon 5 in this car?

I took a test drive in a Tesla and got really hooked. Today, an EV friend told me that batteries have a calendar life, and even if you don't use them much, they generally reach their limit in about ten years. Since the Model Y hasn't been out for many years, no one can really answer this. Do any of you with Model S, especially the older ones, have any issues with battery usage?

Does Tesla have a battery swapping policy?

老哥，第一代Model S的辅助驾驶功能确实有限，那个时候特斯拉的Autopilot还没像现在这么普及和先进。不过，有些基础的安全功能，比如紧急制动，可能可以通过软件升级来实现，但具体能不能升级得看你的车的硬件配置和特斯拉的政策。 如果紧急制动和车道保持对你很重要，可能需要考虑升级到第二代，虽然价格高一些，但这些功能会更成熟。再说，你也提到在加拿大不能转让免费超充，这也得算进成本里。可以去特斯拉服务中心问问看有没有更好的升级方案，或者在论坛看看有没有类似经验的车主分享。

Could anyone tell me if the 19-inch wheels on the S come with hubcaps? If they do, what do they look like when removed? Any pictures? Thanks!

Guys, do the daytime running lights on the Model S really have such a high failure rate? I went to Huaxiang today to check out some used cars, and out of nine I looked at, seven had broken or non-functioning lights. Are they really that unreliable? I even asked the official service, and replacing one costs 1.3W [crying].

How can I view the Sentry Mode footage from six months ago? Any advice?

I'm torn about deciding on the SP version. I saw a test drive review saying you can't always use the Plaid mode, so what's the acceleration like in the normal mode?
