    A friend of my younger son's sent him a pic of a CT outside South Brunswick HS..... Will have to keep my eyes peeled for this truck!

    Lawrenceville NJ Service Center

    Just thought I'd report a good service experience at Lawrenceville yesterday.... Had the infamous 'creak' in the front left suspension, which indicates the control arms need replacing.... Confirmed by them, and they replace the upper control arms and lateral links on both sides. Took about 2...

    Philly Airport Parking

    Hi all. Travelling to Peru in March with the family, leaving from Philly airport. I've parked there before but not with my Tesla. Looking for recommendations on off-site parking that people have used before. I don't really care about being able to charge as I'll leave it for the 10 days with...

    Creaking Front Suspension

    My car started creaking a bit about 10 days ago - from the driver's side front suspension. In those 10 days, it has gotten progressively worse. I have made a service appointment but as usual, it's about 3 weeks out. Based on research, it sounds like control arms. Assuming that, a couple of...

    Screen Sensitivity

    Have kind of a strange problem. I put links to two short videos below, but in essence, for several functions, when I push to select something, the result is slightly off from where I push. It's mainly in the Spotify app but have also noticed it when navigating. Take a look at the videos and see...

    Cybertruck Sightings in NJ?

    Hi, just wanted to start a thread for CT sightings in NJ.... I've seen that Tesla is apparently sending some out to some showrooms, so we should stay alert here in the Garden State! I have a reservation so would love to see one in the 'stainless steel'....

    Sticky Trunk

    Recently, my car's trunk will never open on the first try, either using the screen or the handle. It always happens the first time I try to open it during the day, which led me to believe that perhaps it is sticking to the seal. But it will also doing it at other times the same day, when I've...

    Mt Washington Auto Road

    Planning on doing a trip up Mt Washington in late August, on the way to a wedding in Maine. We’re going to hike up it one day, then I’d like to drive up it the next. Knowing that the nearest Supercharger is in North Conway, curious about what sort of battery usage I can expect going up, and...

    Tailgating

    I have kind of a dumb question ("There are no dumb..."). We're going to NY Jets game on Sunday and planning on tailgating. I was looking in the manual regarding use of the power point in the rear to keep some chili in a crockpot warm during the tailgate, trying to see whether the 12v or HV...

    Strange Spotify Issue

    I'm having a strange issue with Spotify. Basically, when it does work, it will play maybe three songs and then in the third song, will not allow me to skip ahead, skip backwards or otherwise navigate. Once the song is done playing, nothing else plays after that. I received a SW update yesterday...

    Is AWD Full Time or Part Time?

    Ok, another dumb question.... I assume the AWD is not a full time system, and I also assume that the car is RWD until conditions dictate that the front motor kicks in. Are these assumptions correct?

    Preconditioning before Driving

    Ok, here is kind of a dumb question,. In the past, to precondition the car before driving for the first time in the morning, I would use the phone app and hit the little fan button on the main screen of the app. After the last app update, I noticed a little battery icon in the Controls screen...

    Multiple Errors

    (There was a thread about this earlier this year in the M3 forum, but decided to post here as that one is dead) I was driving back from an appointment today and after driving away from a light, got all of the following errors in rapid succession - Power Reduced ( Front Motor temporarily...

    Model Y 82kW Battery Pack

    Interesting - confirmation that at least from sometime in May 2021 on, the MY has the 82 kW pack...... Now we need to get guys with the Scan My Tesla app (or another that shows battery pack size) to start checking to see how when the transition started.....

    Charging Primer?

    I've looked at a lot posts here, and Googled as well - but can anyone recommend a good primer on charging? I'm looking for a basic overview of charging in general - Level 1, Level 2, J1172, Chademo, etc. I understand the Supercharger network but would like to understand all of the options while...

    FSD With Order or Post-Delivery

    With the recent price reduction of the MY (dropped $3k on Friday), if I were to order a MY without FSD, I can get the purchase price under $55,000 and get a $5,000 rebate for EV purchase in NJ. That would pay for more than half the cost of adding it post-delivery. My question is, is it truly the...

    Selling Car - How to Get $$$

    I am selling my daughter's 2016 Grand Cherokee. She has moved to NYC and no longer needs it. We paid off the loan and I am awaiting the title with the lien removed. Once I have that, I'll advertise it. My question is - I plan on selling this for upper teens/low $20's, the most expensive used...

    Question re: Regen Braking

    Ok, this is a dumb question but.... Obviously, one of the biggest differences between driving a Tesla and an ICE vehicle is the regen braking. I was really surprised at how 'heavy' it is, even compared to a manual transmission ICE car, which I've driven all of my life. So mu dumb question is, do...

    MY Test Drive

    Did a test drive of a MY this morning at the Princeton SC. Extremely impressed with the car, having never driven a Tesla.... The tester they have is a Performance MY in Blue/black, which is the combo I would like to get, although not the Performance as I'm not crazy about black wheels. Long...
