Thanks. I found some on Amazon, but I figure I'll leave them alone since getting to the other side looks like a pain. I wonder if they rusted due to being attached to a different metal, or if it's somehow getting wet?

I have a 2015 Model S with a manual rear lift gate (I do wish we had paid for the powered lift which is now standard). The lift struts are really squeaky, so I've ordered some replacements that appear to be easy to install. However, the bolts they attach to are incredibly rusty, so I would...

No, on further investigation, my problem isn't the cover. My cover is fine. It's that it doesn't snap in, so what's under it is messed up. I would have to take the roof apart to investigate.

Gone from the online map, too.

I'm having the same problem, and I found the above very useful. I didn't know about switching to parking lights and back to headlights; we've had to stop and park to reset the light. I'll replace the bulb soon. Oh, and too bad on not getting it fixed under the warranty. They should have been...

Also posted in the other thread. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6230201 Now I need to look and see if the problem is just the outside piece or if something it attaches to is broken.

I was told at a Tesla service center when mine broke that they couldn't get the parts anymore, and that was several years ago. I like to take the roof rack off in winter (we use it for bikes), but I don't want to leave the opening for water to get in. The Tesla service guy said he heard some...

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/tesla-roof-rack Found this in another thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/where-can-i-find-small-cover-of-roof-gallery.167302/ He's charging $21.59 just for the model.

It's $21.59 now. Still pretty steep.

When we went to Boise last summer (family), my parents said they had a charging outlet, but it turned out to be a TT30 outlet, which is the only one without a Tesla plug adapter. It's a 30A 120V outlet for travel trailers or small RVs. Fortunately, we were there long enough that just using...

Nice. We did an 8,000-mile road trip last summer, and the only charger we had to wait for was Klamath Falls.

It's always great to see new Superchargers. Idaho is a bit lacking in general, especially if you want to go somewhere off the Interstate. McCall would be great. Ketchum could certainly use one. A small one in Arco for Craters of the Moon would be awesome. But as others have said, adding a...

When I sold a car in a private sale, I found a site online with free legal documents for selling a car, including a bill of sale. I needed that for applying to the town to prorate the excise tax. It's supposed to also be signed by the buyer when you sell the car. I think you have to pay for...

No, it never came back for me after the repair.

This is really close to the Manchester site, but it's 250kW. It will be interesting to see if this gets the magic dock for non-Tesla charging.

symptomKey: ESP_w001 symptomLable: ABS (anti-lock braking system) disabled/Drive with caution Parts replaced: Front anti-lock brake intelligent system wheel speed sensor assembly (1037794-00-B)

If it's the anti-lock brake sensor cable like with mine, I'm not sure if that's accessible to check yourself. I suppose it's possible that the car wash got water somewhere that is tripping something, and it will dry out, but if it doesn't go away, you'll likely need to schedule a service...

No, I haven't thought much about it. We're leaving the roof rack on for now, so it's not an issue at the moment.

We got the car back. They said all of the messages could have been due to the eMMC chip recall except for the "ABS disabled." They all came on at once, so I suspect the ABS issue was the sole root cause, but they did the eMMC replacement at the same time. They found that the left anti-lock...

Nope.

I just had the following six alerts pop up in my 2015 S. We now have a service appointment in January. They've said that this is not something mobile service can handle.

Replacement plates in MA cost $10 each, so switching to EV plates will cost you $20, plus you have to hand in your old plates. Bring whatever tools you need to swap the plates, drive to the RMV, remove the old ones, walk in, pay the fee and they'll hand you EV plates to replace them with...

I need two of these for an older Model S (the old style roof rack), and Tesla can't provide the parts anymore. When the car was last serviced, the Tesla tech said that some people have 3-D printed them.

It's still working fine for me. Occasionally they have outages at Tesla's end, but I haven't heard anything. It's also possible that they will block specific users if they notice accesses that seem abusive, though I haven't heard of them doing so. They have cut off specific vehicles that have...

Well, I've published my script: pcrow/tesla_bash I would like to launch URLs in the car's browser, not my desktop browser (I already do that). The idea is I can run my script at home, and send a message like "Please pick up dinner at Doragon Ramen. It should be ready at 5:30" which would...

I'm working on a bash script that will let me see where my car is and do a few other useful tricks. One thing I would really love to do is send a URL to the web browser (which would have a short message encoded in the URL that would be displayed). I know I can send a navigation address and...

Maybe it's an S vs. 3 thing. My S with firmware 2020.20.1 will not turn off the WiFi when shifting into gear. My 3 with firmware 2020.24.6.1 does turn off the WiFi when shifting out of Park. I had assumed it was about premium connectivity (which would be a logical way of doing it), but...

I know on our 2015 S, the home WiFi doesn't drop out until we've driven a hundred yards from home. I'll watch to see if this has changed recently (and it doesn't get updates that often anymore). I just wish the behavior on the two cars was swapped. In any case, it should be using the premium...

No, if you have premium connectivity, it doesn't drop the WiFi, but if you don't, it does. The logic is reversed. It's clearly a bug.

The WiFi switching off is clearly a bug. If you have premium connectivity, the WiFi won't switch off, but if you don't, it switches off every time you shift out of Park. This is obviously exactly the opposite of what everyone wants. Before my premium expired, I would have to drive a while for...

Generally, once a permit is granted, the board members have nothing more to do with it, and it's a town staff issue with the building inspector issuing a building permit when they ask for one. (I'm on the Planning Board in Ashland; no Tesla applications here.) The only good news about the...

I charged there last night, and there was yellow caution tape around the new chargers. Fortunately there wasn't any shortage of the regular chargers while I was there, so I didn't test the new ones. This was the first charger I've been at that by default limited charging to 80%.

The ran out of EV plates when I picked up on June 8th. I still need to get around to getting my EV plates. I never bothered on my 2012 Leaf (which I'm now selling).

Wait, they're putting level 3 chargers on level 2? That's just too confusing. :)

Homelink on my S was buggy when I first got it in 2015, but after a few software updates, it became quite solid. I love everything about how it works.

My 3 was ordered on May 4th, with a build date of May 29th, but I'm not taking delivery until next week. From what I've seen here, I should have Home Link. We'll see.

I'm guessing they removed it from the description, but are continuing to include it for another week or two so that most people who had it on the description when they ordered will still get it. They may give the upgrade for free for orders placed in May (or earlier). This sounds like a...

I serve on the Ashland, MA Planning Board, and I'm always surprised at how many people watch our meetings on cable. I'm sure they're quite boring if you're not involved. Also our meetings almost never go to 11, but then we've never had a Tesla application. (If we ever do, I'll post about it...

Following on supercharge.info, it looks like Tesla has nearly stopped work on network expansion starting in July, probably as part of their push to show a profit for the quarter, they're deferring any optional expenses. The number of newly started chargers is tiny compared to previous months...

I wanted to charge today, and it was full. I'm always concerned when the charger is at a service center, as they will also charge cars for delivery, cars being repaired, loaner cars, etc. Or maybe it was just popular today.

I've never understood why anyone would set up a fancy networked charging station instead of a simple generic 1772 charger when they're not making people pay to use it.

John Harvards is great, but it can be a bit slow. Set the charge limit to 100% and watch out for idle fees.

The Natick Mall has HPWCs that are "Authorized Vehicles Only," typically with a cone blocking the spot. If you move the cone and park, they say it's OK in the store, but it's not encouraged. I'll be tempted if I have to shop in December when the parking is crowded. They also have charging in...

In Massachusetts, the rules are different in different towns. In some cases, a Supercharger requires site plan review by the local Planning Board, which results in public documents where permit information can be found (agendas and minutes at a minimum, but often full site plans). In some...

I'm hoping they'll move to Waltham soon. I'm looking forward to seeing where they put that one.

I drove by at 10pm. There was an Eversource truck with a big spool on the back parked in the charging spots with its lights on. The meter still isn't in place. The chargers are still bagged. I forgot to steal one to hang in my garage where my Model 3 will eventually be. :)

20180623_135022-tesla_framingham_charger by pcrow posted Jun 23, 2018 at 3:01 PM I was there today. There are still three chargers (four if you count the nose-in charger) without bags. The Tesla-parking-only signs aren't up. The meter is missing. Most interestingly, there was a workman...

I want one of those covers, but I'm too honest to steal one. (And no, I won't buy one that I would assume is stolen.)

Yes, those posts are definitely for the "Tesla charging only" signs. I don't think they need to add any additional lighting at this site. I see the new stripes painted, so it's looking mostly ready. I would say the only real issues are the meter and Eversource. The signs will just take an...
