    Full FSD Free Trial: Why I'd never buy it . . . ever.

    OP objections are legit and common. Mostly based on personal driving preference, and FSD does still make mistakes. However, if you've been driving the beta for a few years and saw how slowly things progressed up to this point, and then got this version, you might change your mind about saying...

    Wall Connector Gen 3 - solid blue lights and Check Power error in car - firmware downgrade to fix

    If you are getting this error with your Gen 3 WC after commissioning, or a software update, the problem could be the latest Tesla WC firmware upgrade 24.4.1. I could not get my WC to connect to the app after commissioning it according to the installer instructions. It worked fine in all ways...

    We must face facts - meat is the problem

    Hmmm. I think the title to this post is only half right. Meat Heads are the real problem. Archie Bunker knew...

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    Same basic experience, I always use it now. I live a few miles west of Austin and have hit a few snags, but so far just one required disengagement. Prior to V12 I would NEVER let the car drive me out my hilly, narrow road neighborhood to the highway exit. V12 handled it perfectly the first...

    Adding wall connector on Tesla App

    I just got this problem solved on my iPhone. Tried everything - already had a 2.4g access point (as I learned years ago they work better with my MS). I got everything to work except the connection to the Tesla App. I could ping the WC on my home network, got it to connect to the phone in...

    Problems commissioning Wall Charger - solved

    Using the all-important Wall Connector quick start guide, I was able to immediately get my new wall charger to begin charging my car. However it would not connect to the app. Once charging completed I had to re-cycle power every time I wanted to charge. I could connect to the wall charger via...

    Wall Plug Over Heat Issue - Better 6-50 Receptable? (Using Mobile Charger)

    Yea it's pretty well known the home improvement store Leviton is crap for an EV - they do overheat - I have disassembled them and it is a blade contact issue. Some users report a melt down, but usually the mobile charger plug gets hot and tells the car to reduce the amp draw. There are...

    Wall Plug Over Heat Issue - Better 6-50 Receptable? (Using Mobile Charger)

    FUD principal at work. They've all been fine for years. I just had a union shop install a 14-50 in a seasonal home remodel , and while they did install an expensive 60 amp GFI breaker as a code upgrade, the outlet they used was not an $80 Hubble, it was around $40 and definitely marked up...

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    There are other issues, yes, and they are the same as they have been for a few years. It takes a different UI for legacy cars with vertical screens and the additional instrument cluster display. Until now that was it, but it was enough to delay updates for legacy cars on many occasions. With...

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    If I am reading this correctly, V12 for legacy cars is currently undergoing safety validation... no release timeline given, but it is good news for the 3% of us who got left out.

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    No doubt. This becomes very evident when you start to scroll through vehicle upgrades on TeslaFi.

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    Seem likely it is a cabin camera issue. There are M3's the same age that are receiving it. I seem to remember some posts about a cabin camera being difficult to add in the Legacy cars. Not really sure though. Gonna be a lot of angry customers if they don't find a solution. Those will be the...

    Should Tesla pay towing for a warranty battery replacement?

    Yea, I shot another email over to the service center. The guys there were really nice, but it’s a month out at this point. Ha ha that’s probably not much in Tesla time.

    Should Tesla pay towing for a warranty battery replacement?

    Thanks for this. Everybody agrees I should be reimbursed at this point - I'm just not getting any action. It was towed to the nearest service center, Santa Fe, which was 200 miles farther away from Austin. The Santa Fe service center said 500 miles towing for battery failure, extended...
