So thats what that setting does! It sure isnt very clear looking at how its labeled. Thanks.

It appears that USS support has been disabled after termination of the FSD demo. I have a 2022 MYLR with 2024.3.25 firmware and not only are the distance measurements gone but the screen now has those gosh awful mashed potato blobs all over it. I want my USS back! On the plus side, the car...

You have to first select the autosteer feature. The buttons will un-gray. Once you pick which one you want, then enable FSD.

This "feature" was added by a software release last fall. Its supposed to make it easier to open the doors in cold weather. There's definitely a temperature threshold above which it doesnt drop the windows. As far as I can figure, its somewhere above 40 degrees F. What I dont like is when...

I read those instructions to mean if you're receiving this credit due to being part of a partnership of S Corp, report it on form 3800. A personal use charger obviously isnt that so all you do is submit form 8911 and report it on Schedule 3, line 6j. At least thats what I did. And then take...

If this is a personal income tax and not a business, what are you doing with form 3800?? Go to the irs website and download form 8911 and fill it out. the charger's for personal use so there is 0% business use. Then in HR Block, open the 1040 form, schedule 3, line 6j. Override its value by...

As a tire wears, the softer rubber on the tire tread gets worn away exposing harder rubber. As more and more of this hard rubber is exposed the tire gets noisier and noisier. I drove a plug-in hybrid for 11 years. I went through 2 tire replacements at around 25000 miles each. Each time I...

The clear washers go under the screw head. Then the black caps snap onto them.

Tapping the compass just cycles through the 3 display modes: Map shows planned route: This is just a really zoomed out display to show an entire planned route Map shows North as up: Thats the mode with the N rosette in the upper right. No matter which way the vehicle arrow is pointed, North...

I lucked out. It seems I live in a "rural" area even though its considered part of the Chicago metropolitan area.

I had to paper file to claim both the car rebate and the charger rebate. I downloaded the paper forms for the car (form 8936), and for the charger (form 8911) from the IRS website. Filled them out and printed them. Then I went to the HR Block program and overrode the calculated entries for...

You can also zoom in and out. Use two fingers and pinch in or out on the screen. Be careful though. If, as you're zooming, the compass icon changes from black to grey, the screen will auto revert back to its original settings in a few seconds.. If it stays black, you're good to go for the new...

I havent seen this mentioned anywhere yet, but ComEd has announced a rebate, up to $3750, for installation of an L2 charger effective February 1, 2024. https://www.comed.com/news/news-releases/2024-02-01 "As part of a larger investment to accelerate an equitable adoption of electric vehicles...

I lost one of my flaps in a 16 inch snowfall a few weeks ago. Found the flap but not the clips. I bought this on amazon. One of the assorted sizes worked. The upside is I now have 238 various sized clips for a future project...

This is beginning to look like a trend. I just had this happen to me. First, I could not open the port by pressing the port itself. Car was awake, the port wouldnt budge. I had to open the port by using the app and then when it opened, it immediately closed. Open, close, it was immediate...

I live in the green area just outside of town so the way I read the rules, I qualify for the charger rebate because I'm rural.

HR Block just released a preliminary form 8936 but totally deleted form 8911 for the charging station rebate. "Where is Form 8911? You might have been able to access options to complete Form 8911 in a previous version of our product. We won't be supporting this feature due to increased...

Is the profile associated with the key you used? In the list of keys, the profile name should be shown under the specified key. Each time you tap the human head icon next to the key, the profile will be associated/unassociated for that key.

Buy a package of these and give one to each family member. The first person to see a tesla counts it on their clicker. The highest tally at the end of each month gets a prize and all clickers get reset to zero...

Sad to say, its not your keyfob. This happens with my fob all the time. I dont have a phone so I exclusively rely on the fob and its unpredictability is annoying. I'm getting tired of seeing that big red eyeball thingy on the screen saying a sentry alert was triggered while I stand outside in...

"X" marks the spot. It no longer works. Now I can sometimes elicit a response when clicking the front seat seatbelt fasteners.

I have the same issue but lately I'm thinking its not really an issue, more of a bug. When I turn on the climate from the app, it indicates both front seats and steering wheel are on full. But when I finally get in the car, the seats are not warm and the steering wheel is only lukewarm like...

Mine started doing this about a month ago. Its really irritating. I notice that when I exit the car, all the windows roll down about a quarter of an inch. Thats not so bad. Whats really bad is that when I next get into the car and enter my pin, all the windows automatically, simultaneously...

Also, the car will not let you manually open the door until the sentry mode big red eye screen disappears off screen. If you keep trying the door handle with that screen on, it just keeps re-triggering the timeout and you'll never get in. You must use the app, keycard or keyfob to unlock.

In my experience, when you get out of the car and plug in the charge connector, if you look in the window you will see the first screen. When you then open the door to get back in the car, the instant the door opens, it changes to the second screen from there on. It makes no sense.

I've read in several places that if the car is decelerating at greater than .1g, the brake lights are lit. Less than that, its considered coasting and no lights. Personally, I wish they'd turn on much earlier than .1g. I'm constantly worried about being rear-ended because the brake lights...

This is true. On my car, a year ago, the hardware was shipped to my house with instructions not to open the package and a mobile tech came and installed it in my driveway. On my SILs car, last September, the hardware could only be shipped to and installed at the SC.

Cant you just tap the battery icon and get remaining percent charge, tap again and get remaining mileage, and then divide remaining mileage by remaining percent charge to get estimated charge at 100%?

Does anyone know what the definition of "low income" is for this rebate? The law says having a gross income of 80% of the state's median income. But what constitutes "Gross income"? Is it Line 4 on the IL-1040? Thats called "Total Income" but not "Gross Income".

Here's what an ammonia leak looks like from the air: https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-county-news-sun/ct-lns-cdc-report-ammonia-fog-zion-st-0131-20200130-bphoo3jltjffxnsed2u3ftbqqq-story.html This happened in 2019 not to far from me. I read a later article about how most of the...

When I bought AB, I had to go to the Tesla website to find it. It did not appear in the app at all.

As long as there is 12V battery power, the window behaves exactly like pressing the normal door button. The window rolls down slightly and the door opens. Its only when there is no power that the window doesnt roll down and then breaks.

I had pretty much the same experience at an EA charger. I bought the Tesla CCS adaptor just because I make an occasional trip to an area where Tesla SCs are rather far apart. After it arrived I decided I needed to test it out so I went to a nearby EA charger that just happens to be located...

I have a similar problem. Spotify doesnt play but every time I start the car a full screen Spotify QRcode covers the entire screen. Its really annoying to have to swipe it away to see the navigation screen every single time. I dont have a login. I dont use spotify. I never intend to subscribe...

My SIL just took possession of an Austin built MYLR and it has both the HW4 cameras and Matrix lights.

Ever since the auto turn signal cancel feature was released, back in December, my turn signals have been hit or miss when turning off. Sometimes they turn off automatically, sometimes they dont. Its a real pain. Turn signals are now like wipers. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Try...

The Ford Mustang Mach E I test drove also made fake engine noises. The first thing I did was turn it off. Quiet is so much better.

Can you refer her first? She gets $500 off and free supercharger miles, you get 10000 points. Then use 5500 of those points to buy the wall connector and give it to her.

Its not just the phone key that has problems. I use a keyfob and its really slow to unlock the car. Several times I've had to use the keycard I keep in my wallet to open the door.

All I've been able to find explaining anything about it is this: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/clean-vehicle-credit-seller-or-dealer-requirements It looks like its going to happen but there are no rules yet.

What happens in 2024 when the credit is applied right at the dealer at time of purchase and immediately subtracted from the cost? If you dont have enough tax liability do you have to pay some of the $7500 credit back?

I didnt even put the RN on the check. I just showed up with a cashiers check made out to Tesla, handed it to the guy, and drove off. It was the easiest car I ever bought. No one cared about having the RN on the check even though it says to do that.

Print one on line. A google search for monroney sticker turns up several sites. https://monroneylabels.com/ BTW, mine was on the floor under the front passenger seat.

I wouldnt exactly call the sound mine makes a squeaking sound. Mine sounds more like a jet engine whenever the heat is turned on. A REALLY LOUD jet engine. When I exit the car and the car shuts down, you can hear it spooling down. The loudness kind of surprised me coming from a normally...

A few days ago firmware 2022.26.6 was pushed to my car. Now I have no ability to set the maximum charge percentage. Sliding the slider on the in-car screen doesnt change anything (the slider moves but the numbers dont) and its totally disappeared from the app. All I can set in the app is what...

It comes with the mobile connector but it includes only the 110v adaptor. So unless you enjoy really slow charging you'll have to fork out $45 to buy a 220v adaptor.

Mine came with the charger but it only included the 120V adaptor.

Hang in there. I took delivery of my plain jane white MYLR last Saturday, 6/11. OD was 10/26/22. Thats 7 months 17 days. The problem is that demand just exploded in November/December. Thats when gas prices started rising.

Picked up my MYLR today (6/11) at 12:00 at the Schaumburg dealer. Order date was 10/26/21. It was the quickest auto dealer transaction I've ever had. They had a tent set up outside with a big sign "New Car Pickup Here". Walked up and gave my name and he pointed to my car. I inspected the...

In the app, my "pay" button was enabled immediately after submitting insurance information. It might have been simultaneous with the insurance button being turned on but I wasnt exactly paying attention I was so excited.
