    Tidal shuffle appears to be broken.

    I have several downloaded Tidal playlists on my Tesla and would like to randomize these playlists. When I am listening and select the random icon on the lower left screen playback widget the "next playing" list switches to showing the next playlist, not the next track. So shuffle is definitely...

    Can solar only be used to charge powerwalls during a power outage?

    I have an existing 13 year old 7kw system and am in discussions to expand the system with another 3-4kw of capacity, installation of Tesla string inverter for the new smaller system and one or more power walls. I plan to use the powerwalls for time of day load shifting as well as for emergency...

    Tidal app download in car - what quality?

    Does anyone know what quality is used for Tidal audio tracks that are downloaded directly to the car? I have Hi Fi Plus so I can listen at MQA but the tracks are quite large, CD quality is fine for me for downloaded songs, but I can't find any way to choose what is used in the car.

    Chamberlain totally incompetent, can't even buy MyQ subscription

    The trial expired and I literally can't complete the checkout for a MyQ subscription. I populate all the info but the "place order" button does nothing. Tried on three different devices after signing into the MyQ account. Chamberlain, totally incompetent.

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    How do people feel about the security of the Model Y Frunk? Or any Tesla for that matter. My understanding is that most break ins target the trunk and the frunk is often overlooked. The often bemoaned hack of opening the frunk with a 12V battery has been patched... it will only work if the car...

    Can powder coated wheels be polished?

    I bought some satin black powder coated wheels from an out of state seller. They looked great but when the tire shop mounted and balanced the wheels they left some ring shaped scuffs around the bore face on the wheel, I assume from their balancing equipment. Is it possible to polish out...

    Aftermarket PPF for rocker panel protection?

    I'm having PPF done on my new Model Y on Monday and the installer has proposed doing PPF on the doors up to the mid-way point where there is a body contour in order to hide the line of the PPF, and then a PPF "dog leg" on the rear quarter panel to complete the protection against stone chips. We...

    Dumb lug nut question

    My new Y has the 20" induction rims and I've ordered a set of powder coated gemini wheels that I will use for winter driving (having a local tire shop put together since Tesla is back ordered). Can the lug nuts be shared between the two sets of rims? It seems the offset is the same on the...

    Sealant/wax used in prep or transport?

    Picked up my MYLR today, when I picked it up it was clear that the car had just received a quick wash as it was fairly dirty with lots of water spots, etc. When I got it home I started actually cleaning it properly and in several places I have what appear to be scratches but is actually some...

    255/55R19 Alpin 4 doesn’t fit Model Y?

    I’ve been researching winter tires for my Model Y that I’m picking up on Monday. Michelin Alpin 4 seems like the best option for where I will drive in the winter time, however, Discount Tire, who has the tire in 255/55R19 indicates it does not fit LR MY. Does anyone know why? Is it due to load...

    Any change in Model Y floor mat dimensions (Maxpider)

    Have there been any changes to the footwell or cargo area dimensions of the Model Y between years 2020 and 2023? I found a really good price for open box Maxpider mats on eBay but it lists that they are for "2020 Model Y". I don't want to order them for my soon to arrive 2023 Model Y if they...

    Does Tesla show their "best" financing rates on the payment estimator?

    I have a MY that's supposed to be delivered sometime in the next 2-4 weeks although I don't yet have a VIN. Tesla sent me a message about trade in and I asked them to open up the financing option for my reservation. Are the estimated payment values shown the "best" rate it's possible to get if...

    Does anyone with an outstanding MYLR white interior order have a two week window yet? [Nov 2022]

    It seems that all white interior MYLRs and maybe even MYP that are outstanding orders have a four week window, the white interior seems to be delayed. Does anyone with a order from Jan-April 2022 have a 2 week window for delivery of a white interior vehicle?

    I selected and ordered 7 seater MY in mid-March but I'm starting to waffle, and am considering deleting seven seat option. 7 seat option pros: Provide some occasional utility when transporting our young children in the 3rd row and an extra adult in the 2nd row.

    Giga Berlin production changes coming to Fremont WHEN???

    I recently saw the below video that details the differences in the Giga Berlin production LR and P Model Y and I'm baffled that we're into July and still not seeing these changes carried over to Fremont. I don't know if this is due to Tesla waiting to change over their suppliers and make...

    Transferring a pre-order to correct Tesla account?

    My M3 victim of hit and run, replace whole bumper or?

    So my Model 3 was the victim of a careless driver who swiped it pretty good, there is a lot of paint transfer. The bumper cover has a high end Suntek film on it as well as ceramic and I’m wondering if there’s any chance the paint underneath is okay if it is pulled off or if it just makes more...

    How the heck can I get Spotify to stop trying to play music on my car

    So I'm digging Spotify other than some really annoying problems. Chief among them, if I play music in Spotify apps on my phone or Mac it seems that if I was previously listening in my Model 3, Spotify assumes I want to listen on my car. I have no idea why it's doing this. Is there a way to...

    Recommendation - break for sale forums into regional pieces.

    Michelin Primacy 18" tires shot @ less than 10K miles.

    I had my winter tires put on this week and DT showed me that the rear tires on my car were only @ 3/32 and probably should be replaced. Car has 9314 miles and had dedicated winter tires on for four months last winter season. Has anyone approached Tesla about a warranty claim on the tires...

    When will Tesla offer in-car review of Sentry Cam footage?

    Anyone using the Seasucker Mini Bomber bike rack on their Model 3?

    I am contemplating some kind of rack solution for my Model 3 so I can take my mountain bike out maybe a 1/2 dozen times a year where I wouldn't use a different vehicle. The Seasucker Mini Bomber has everything needed to attach the bike to the glass roof and costs about $450. The Tesla rack is...

    Tesla service - still abysmal "the mailbox is full"

    Sentry thinks I'm the bad guy.

Worth noting that my iPhone X that has worked pretty much perfectly for entering the vehicle is always with me when this...

    Does the Model 3 have an accessory mode for passengers?

    My wife is very pregnant and often chooses to wait in the car while I am running errands lately. Is there a way that I can leave the car on for her without leaving my phone in the car? I don't want to ask her to get into the driver seat every time I leave the vehicle for 20 minutes and I...

    Aftermarket sound deadening batting for Model 3 door panels?

    What is the current lead time for Power Wall installation?

What's the current...

    Thread of all hub-centric aftermarket wheels for the Tesla Model 3.

    I'm in the market for 19" rims for my dual motor (non P) Model 3. I detest the use of hub centering rings as I've had problems with them every time I've used them whether it was a vibration problem, difficulty when swapping wheels (have to chisel off hub ring), etc. The only aftermarket wheels...

    Anyone messed with the dash pad yet? It's buzzing

This was hard to reproduce on a test drive but once it started buzzing the lead technician confirmed that they would need to...

    How are Europeans liking Model 3?

    My experience is that Europeans, and particularly Germans/Austrians are much more demanding of their cars than Americans. I've personally known Germans who have taken Mercedes technicians on the Autobahn at 100+ mph to diagnose minor vibration noise and so on. I would say they have quite high...

    Tesla creates demonstration video for Sentry Mode using Cookie Monster from Sesame Street
