Thanks for the reply. I'm leaning toward just swapping out MY for my MIL's Subaru for the week.

Anyone make the trip to the Havasupai Canyon Trailhead at Hualapai Hilltop Parking Lot in AZ? We're going in May and I am doubting whether my MYLR can make it so am debating just renting an ICE vehicle for the trip. Any experiences would be appreciated.

When using Shortcuts on iPhone, does it wake the car to call Tessie’s Get Lock Status or Get Battery Status functions? Obviously, having the car do something, like lock/unlock, wakes the car, but I’m not sure if Tessie stores the car’s state so it doesn’t have to wake it up if you are just...

We went with the RWD from inventory a couple of weeks ago. Got a decent discount and a nice trade-in on the Leaf although the Leaf 12V literally died when we got in the car to go pickup the M3. Had to get AAA out and put in a new battery. lol. I absolutely love the M3! So much fun to drive and...

When I look at my previous bills, it looks like the NEM balance (the amount the told me I didn’t have to pay) adds up to the non-bypassable charges and a couple of fees (e.g. fire) which won’t get covered by generation credits. Not sure why they have to make it so complicated.

I have had solar for less than a year and I am set to true-up this week. I have $577 in credits remaining. I have been paying my whole bill every month, including the NEM balance that it says I don't have to pay. I am, perhaps belatedly, realizing that I may have screwed myself with this...

Anyone have trouble with their windows after installing the pet liner. Our drivers side rear window stopped opening/closing properly, which was especially problematic when opening/closing the door. Treated calibration didn’t help. Tesla tried calibrating it in service mode and it failed so they...

I restarted the app and it appeared. Kind of meh but maybe heralds some future updates. They ask you to enter your electricity rate plan to calculate your savings but they don’t use that information for scheduling charging which just seems absurd. They don’t even let you have different schedules...

Huh. I have 4.25.0 and don’t have the option to add my WC. I do see the solar inverter, which I think is new. I believe I only saw PW before, which I don’t have.

I just picked up a new inventory M3 RWD on Monday and stumbled on this thread trying to figure out how to set up my car for charging since I knew that my car had an LFP battery and may benefit from a different approach compared to my 9 month old MY which I just set to 80% unless I know I’ll need...

For anyone that finds this thread, I definitely wish I had rented an EV while in Iceland. As SureshS stated, charges are abundant. We saw them at every gas station and 5 of the 6 hotels we stayed at, including several that were free for hotel guests. There would have been ZERO issues traveling...

I just picked up an inventory M3 yesterday to go with our MY. I sort of knew that it wouldn't come with floor mats based upon some reading last year when we were deciding between the Y and the 3, but I had forgotten. So, now I'm interested in getting some floor mats, but I'm curious if there are...

Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s the reason. I have the latest charger and it doesn’t appear in the app.

I can’t figure out how to do it. Can’t even find how to add my wall connector.

The best part of the update is being able schedule charging. I hope you can link it to a TOU plan so it is smart about it and not limited to set times every day. You can already enter your TOU electric plan to determine costs, so it should be a no-brainer.

Is there a good technical explainer on super chargers? One that describes how the charging rates of the different versions are impacted by being crowded? I know the basics of how two neighboring stalls will reduce charging speeds if both are being used, but I can’t find a good explanation of the...

I did not notice an adaptor, but I was too far away to see. The picture is actually zoomed in a bit. I should have walked over to check it out in detail but it was 116 degrees outside. A group of people did gather at one point, but I didn’t think much of it. The supercharger was totally full...

There were a ton of parking spots nearby that were actually closer to all of the amenities than the supercharger stalls. The vast majority of cars in the lot were teslas in supercharger stalls. 90% of all other parking spots were empty.

All you have to do is zoom into the picture to see the cable plugged into the car. He pulled in, the cable didn’t reach, he dropped the cable on the ground, reparked at the angle seen in the photo and plugged in.

I saw this at the Primm, NV supercharger. I understood that only a few SCs around the Northeast worked with non-Teslas. How is this working?

So I got the 20230.20.7 update this morning and turned on FSDb for a 50 mile trip from my parents’ house to Jackson. It worked pretty well! Three disengagements on the way there: it got confused twice by right hand turn lanes that it really wanted to enter even though we weren’t turning and I...

We just made our first long road trip in our MY and the SC network was fine. Out hotel had a DC fast charger and they provided a J adaptor, although I had one in the car. I’m using the 110V mobile connector at my parents’ house in rural WY and getting 5mi/hr of charge which is fine since we are...

All of the phantom braking happened in roughly the same conditions: daylight, super hot (over 100) between Vegas a SLC. The merging problems were in the morning the next day when the temp was between 90 and 100. Also clear skies and daylight. The phantom braking was all when headed North. We...

Made it to WY. Still do t have 2023.20.7, so this is a standard FSD report. NOA was awesome the first day from San Diego to St. George. It really made the drive relaxing and worked flawlessly except for one phantom braking incident. It was around 7:30pm, so still plenty of light, but we were...

Subscribed. Waiting/hoping for 2023.20.7

We’re heading out on a long road trip and I’m considering subscribing to FSD for it. I’ve never used FSD so thought this might be a good time to try it out. Is it worth it? Also, I’m currently on 2023.20.4.1. If I get the upgrade to 2023.20.7, will I be able to get the beta? Is there a good...

Are we expecting that the visuals will all be the same at some point? I guess that would make sense if they are merging the stacks, but they could also keep them distinct as an incentive to upgrade.

We’ll be in Iceland for a week in August and are driving around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Golden Triangle, and the South Coast. I was looking into renting a car and saw that Hertz has MYs for about 1/3 more than lots of compact economy cars. It would be nice to have the larger vehicle, but I’m...

I’m taking the MY on a road trip, so I rented my wife a M3 since she doesn’t want the hassle of charging the Leaf while at work. I’ll get a day with the 3 on either end of the trip, so we should both get a good feel for the RWD.

Thanks, Bruce. This is helpful. I especially like the tip about windshield cleaning supplies. That absolutely did not occur to me!

My daughter and I are heading from San Diego to rural WY in a few weeks with a stopover in St George, UT. I found a hotel with charging and also allows pets (the dog is going with us) and supercharging seems adequate until we get to WY. We’ll have to make do with DCFC at one of the few spots...

Thanks all for your thoughts. Given my use case, I just don’t think the AWD is worth it no matter how much I’d like the performance increase. I just don’t drive on enough open roads to justify it, especially when we can take out the Y on those days. Do most of the stores offer test drives of...

The title of the thread was supposed to be RWD vs LR, but the perils of posting from a phone with autocorrect… We have a 2023 MYLR and are planning to replace our 2015 Leaf with a M3 when the new version drops in a few months. We’re debating between the RWD and the LR, but heavily leaning RWD...

Ever since we got our MYLR last November it has charged to 262 miles of range at 80%. Over the last few days it had started charging to 270 miles of range. I updated to 2023.12 yesterday, but this started a couple of days before that. Why would this be?

What's the etiquette at airport EV charging stations? Specifically, at San Diego airport, if anyone knows. They have EV charging parking spots in the parking plaza. Normally, I'd say you should charge and then leave the spot ASAP, but does that apply at an airport where people are leaving town...

So I turned on Scheduled Departure for 7am and it started charging immediately, which isn’t great. I then set it to also charge during off-peak hours which end at 6am and it now says it will be ready to depart at 7am. I guess that means it will charge to 100% by 6 and then condition the battery...

I normally use the Scheduled Charge feature to charge my MY to 80% during super off-peak hours 12am-6am. We are leaving on our first road trip tomorrow at 8am and want the car at 100%. Is there an advantage to using the Scheduled Departure function and setting it for 8am? Is it better for the...

My wife frequently can't start the MY. She has her foot on the brake and even when she has the app open it sometimes won't start, i.e. won't shift into D or R. She used to just keep the key card in the car and use that, but it disappeared recently after we had the car towed. I never have an...

I got Tesla solar last October and had to show a ton of restraint not to get a powerwall. I don’t think it makes a ton of sense for me since I’m on a TOU plan with a 100% renewable plan so even when I’m not generating, I pull from a renewable source. Our power rarely goes out and I generate...

Thanks! I wish I had known that.

…if ever. I’m not usually an absolutist, but my first ever experience with a fast charger was at EVgo last night and it was a disaster. My wife needed the MY (only a few months old so we’ve only charged it at home) so I took the Leaf. We usually just run errands in it or commute to work and...

I like it. I wish they would add home and Lock Screen widgets for solar though.

Where did you see information on the membership? I poked around the app and didn’t see it.

I charge at 31A using a Gen3 TWC and get 96-97% efficiency according to Tessie with mostly random charge amounts, but always stopping at 80%.

The 7,500 chargers include both new and existing chargers and only 3,500 super chargers (the rest are destination chargers). Tesla said they plan to triple their network, including both ccs and proprietary chargers. So the number of super chargers open to non-teslas seems like it will be a small...

Reviving this thread. Is there any way to stop music, or more importantly, podcasts, from playing when any door is opened? It’s driving my wife nuts. She always has her purse or bags or something in the backseat and when she gets out of the car and opens the back door, her podcast starts playing...

Big Bear won the supercharger vote last quarter, so there will be one in a year or so. :) I hope you make it down the hill okay. I was shocked when we were planning a trip up there and learned there wasn't a supercharger. So many Teslas in SoCal and such a popular destination. Good luck!

Tessie says it doesn’t, but I don’t know.

It did it again last night. I also noticed that the car doesn’t sleep when charging. Is that normal?

An early October delivery definitely had USS. They didn’t stop making them until mid October.
