You're at a SHARED charging station, and it's "critical" that you run battery tests at this charger that is supposed to be SHARED by everyone? How SELFISH of YOU! It's supposed to be a shared resource, treat it as such. RANT OFF.

Is there anyone here that has ever been able to replicate the Tesla quoted range for their Tesla or even gotten close to it? IE - replicating the government test criteria, drive at about 50 MPH on mostly flat roads with no climate control with properly inflated tires, and actually be able to...

So if you can't get an estimate of how many miles remain, how can you determine when to get to your next charger if it is 150 miles away?

Range is an issue because it is EASY to fill up a gas car on a road trip. Who cares that I have 200 miles of range instead of 250 in an ICE? I'll just stop at Chevron. But with an EV, that difference may make the difference between getting to where you want to go much slower (due to additional...

What is with Telsla’s half baked audio solutions? This time Apple Music won’t play music 70 percent of the time I get in the car with the screen showing “choose media source” until I reboot the entire Tesla. Spotify is also half baked, FM radio crashes at least 10 percent of the time so you...

My 2020 LR AWD model 3 has 81K miles on it. Purchased December 2019. I've heard from some that the 12 volt starts dying about 3 1/2 years into ownership. Question: Didn't Tesla change the type or model of battery they used sometime around the time I purchased in the hopes that it would...

Interestingly, I am also losing about 10 to 15 miles of range overnight per the energy "parked" screen. I have sentry off at work and home and still see the issue. I'm beginning to agree this is a software issue as I never saw this previously. It's annoying, because I purchased this vehicle...

Great advice!!!!!!!

LOL the cabin filters were SO much easier on the BMW, though. Just lower the glove box and pull out the old filter and replace. I was VERY comfortable doing that. I'm not comfortable removing trim pieces and such to replace the filters in the Tesla, however.

On the BMW, I was simply listing the maintenance and repairs I did for the first 80K miles to make it "equal" to the repairs and maintenance done during the first 80k of Tesla ownership. In terms of repairs on the BMW *after* 80k, yes - I replaced the tires again at 114K miles. I also did...

I had to do the alignment because my front tires were wearing quicker on the inside than outside. Tesla confirmed an alignment issue.

Just out of curiosity, I asked for some quotes to sell my 2020 LR AWD with 80K miles on it. Just last month, Carmax offered $26.5K. Today, Carvana offered $19K. Driveway laughingly offered $6k. Carmax would not appraise it at this time "due to volatility in the Tesla market." Vroom also will...

I have a 2020 Model 3 Long Range AWD with the 18" aero wheels that I purchased in Dec 2019 which is going to hit 80K miles in the next few days. Any advice on any pro-active service I should do? I'm still on my original 12 volt battery but Tesla recently told me it is still "healthy". In...

My experience so far with my 2020 model 3 -- I had subscribed to Match months before getting Apple Music. Match does not expire until end of February. When I go to my "library", all the music is there when sorted by album or song. NO artists are listed in "artist" view. Even though they...

Can anyone with the holiday update replicate? If I go to Apple Music and then to my library and try to sort by artist the list is blank but shows three page numbers. Album view seems to work fine. Any ideas? A reboot didn’t fix it.

I agree Tesla seems to have more major failures than any other brand of vehicle. I’m also on the Toyota Prius and BMW boards and I rarely see something that renders the car completely unusable immediately and where it can’t be solved quickly with a new starter or other common item.

I think the big difference in fear level with a Tesla breaking down vs any other vehicle is that a Tesla can only be repaired by Tesla at their whim and schedule. If a BMW 330i breaks down, it can be repaired (probably very quickly) by any BMW dealer OR indy shop no matter where you are. So...

I managed to plug into one of the superchargers there last week and the light just kept blinking blue with "charging starting" on my screen. The car never started charging. I think the general public is simply locked out of the superchargers.

I dropped by as well and was told the chargers are ONLY for new vehicle deliveries and service center visits. The lady I spoke with stated both the superchargers and destination chargers were NOT open to the public. She said the city of Long Beach 'prohibited' the use of the land as a public...

Here it is - superchargers and a Tesla sign even! The green sign just says charging station - electric vehicles only.

Just drove by and there are four superchargers there now too in addition to the destination chargers. I didn’t want to stop since it was dark out. There is some green colored signage in front of the superchargers. Will have to look soon alto see what it says.

Why couldn't Tesla just throw in an aux port so we had some CHOICES?

Oh geez will have to do that in a bit didn’t know you could swipe it like that!!!!!

Just noticed tonight my rear view camera isn’t displaying all three cameras. But the cameras are working for dash cam. A reboot has not solved the issue. Any ideas?

So fart apps and 'boombox' are more important than music apps. Got it. Seems backwards, though.

Ok, I've lowered the seats and climbed through the rear door of my Model 3 and attempted to stretch out into a sleeping position. Dang, my back wasn't made for this. I'm only 5'11, and even had a hard time squeezing myself into the rear door with the seat backs lowered. There just isn't...

Drove by this morning and guess what? There’s some dirt being moved around the site and some piping. Hope it’s a start! And you are right - it is gas pipe work on spring and walnut not sewage. I was remembering a different construction project lol.

I live about three blocks from this location. Still no activity at the site. The work being done on the street is for a sewage project and not related to this work, btw. Anyone have any updates?

This is great - thanks and keep posting!

It normally works fine at the bottom of the center console. Sometimes I have to talk louder to say "alexa" if there is a lot of road noise. I've been debating moving it somewhere else in the car but so far it's worked in this location.

I went to a J1772 charger in Hollywood, CA last night. Plugged into a J1772 Level 2 charger using my adapter. When I went to unplug, the adapter refused to separate from the cable. No amount of force (even two people trying to pull the adapter apart from the charger cable) would remove the...

Anyone have any updates on this location being open? It still does not appear on my in car NAV and I'm going up that way soon.

The audio for the Echo routes through your phone. So you don't add the Echo as a new bluetooth device in the car. Therefore, you don't have the issues of having two bluetooth devices active at once. You just need the Alexa app installed on your phone to make it work.

Got an Amazon Echo Auto a few days ago. Put it in the center console of my Tesla Model 3 connected to the cigarette lighter connector. Have been using it to stream Sirius XM via the phone. SO much better than trying to grab and unlock my phone every time I want to start Sirius XM or change...

In California, at least, the rule is they have to let you put a charger in at your expense IF it can be done safely. And then, there are a BUNCH of architectural guidelines and safety guidelines that have to be met (including getting your charging infrastructure approved by the city / county...

Having an issue I think has been addressed before on here. New 2020 Model 3 LR dual motor I picked up in December. When I try to charge it says the charging cable is not secure. Appears on the left side of the charging port a black piece may have broken off? See attached photos. Will Tesla...

I have the one year trial of premium connectivity. Have tried running multiple speedtests in multiple locations on the browser using Fast.com and speetest.net. The fastest I can seem to speedtest anywhere in Southern California is a download speed of 5mbps. Does AT&T throttle Tesla's...

Picked up my Model 3 on December 28. Haven't seen my California plates or DMV registration arrive yet. Has anyone else with a late December pick up date received theirs yet? Want to know when I should begin to worry... and I want my plates so I can apply for my carpool stickers!

If you look at the California supercharger thread you will see that it happened this week sometime. Unknown why or when the new wrapped up chargers will go online but for now only four are there.

Can’t believe they ripped out six stalls and left only four. Last weekend all ten were in use when I arrived — I can’t imagine four working out too well this holiday weekend. :(

Feel free to delete this post? Found the same question in another post. But my question was why lone pine went from ten Superchargers to four this week — I know they have three new ones under construction but until they get those online it’s gonna be a terrible weekend for charging there with...

Looking at adding an SSD for sentry mode, but my front two USB ports are already in use with Tesla's wireless phone charger. Can anyone recommend a USB splitter and SSD drive that would work well so I can use both the wireless phone charger (which can charge two phones at once) AND also have...

Was pulling up towards my condo complex driveway when a pickup truck that had been following me up the street in Long Beach, CA for all of one block pulls to the left of me with his passenger window rolled down and honks. So I roll down my window to see what he wants. As soon as my window is...

Lot C is closed permanently and has been replaced by long term parking lot E. Lot E does NOT have charging. LAX Official Site | LAX Parking Information and Real-Time Parking Statistics

The underground parking lot at Union Station is VERY safe. They have multiple J1772 charging stations in Gateway Plaza parking. Parking is $8 max per 24 hours. Charging rate is $1 per hour with a max of $3 per PlugShare. Charging stations are on level P2-D. There are more chargers at P2-H...

I downloaded 50.7 two days ago. Since then I notice that about 80 percent of the time voice commands are not working - if I press the button for a voice command it does not hear my voice and all and just prompts me to talk. Other times it will sit like its waiting for me to talk for 30 or 45...

Was in Barstow today driving home from Vegas in my lr awd. Had limit set to 80 percent - but was also using nav to drive home and the nav said I needed less than that to continue my trip home. Started charging with 95 miles left and said I’d be done in 25 minutes - was charging slow. Walked...

50.7 gave me my missing premium features on my brand new Long Range AWD, But car still says I'm subscribed to standard connectivity. I think there are some real problems with premium connectivity with Tesla.

My car continues to say I have (and give me) standard connectivity even though I picked it up last weekend as a brand new model 3 long range AWD -- which is supposed to come with a year of premium for free. I have spoken with support about it and they have opened a ticket with the "accounts"...

I have a 50 foot 12 gauge that I was using to charge a Prius Prime before I installed a Level 2 charger. Worked fine but even the 12 gauge got a bit warm!
