    State Inspection in NH

    Concord, NH anyone? I'll be in the area next week. Otherwise very wary of state inspection as my car steering "broke" after state inspection in my northern NH rural area last year (no other Teslas then; currently there are 2 others). The inspection mechanic agreed the steering was unsafe to...

    Where is my MY?

    My car is being shipped across the country (couldn't bear another 3100 mile, 7 day solo drive with a dog that pukes in the car :rolleyes:) and I'd like to use the app to see where it is. Right now it seems there's been no progress since last night and the "location" jumps between two addresses...

    remote climate

    I've spent the winter trying to pre-heat the car via the app with mostly failures. I set the heat to the highest setting on the app, the image on the app show "red air' flowing into the car but when I go out to my car the temperate is "lo" and the A/C is on. Full blast. Sometime it works...

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    The point of ideal FSD is that you shouldn't have to have great reaction time. That's the point of it if it ever actually works but it is so very, very far off the mark at this point. So many Tesla folks, especially on this forum, have drunk the koolaid.

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    I appreciate your post but it's NOT GREAT when FSD does the negative things you write - and I believe most of us have experienced. There is NOTHING great about creating serious safety issues, accidents and putting others at risk on the road.

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    This was a big WTF day for me. I got the email about FSD trial but could never have imagined this was not an opt in. I thought I was putting my car in TA cruise control, as usual, and had NO idea the damn car was going to be in FSD without my knowledge or consent in heavy traffic. I'm not...

    Late winter California Road Trip, 2024

    For many of us So Cal residents ... well ... the Salton Sea area is considered a real sh!thole. Nice pics by vanjwilson making it look good. I will continue to avoid (though found myself out there on my bicycle once and paid a big "red neck" price for that little experience). Borrego Springs...

    New 2024 Tesla Tire Repair Kit

    OK, so reading many other threads on the subject: that goop does not work with foamed tires (sound insulation) and apparently tesla service has confirmed that. So, you ruin your TPMS sensor, your wicked expensive clothes (mine being my $10 t-shirt and ancient jeans), and you're no further down...

    New 2024 Tesla Tire Repair Kit

    probably a subject of another thread but those $15 sensors were not an option for my 2014 MS. They do not work. Many threads and online discussion (plus Tesla service) confirms this.

    New 2024 Tesla Tire Repair Kit

    The concern will start when they have to replace those wickedly expensive sensors (as I found out with my 2014 MS). Maybe they're cheaper now ?? I do get it that being stranded is a nightmare. Might be good that people know that stuff could cost them $$$ and maybe the instructions say so...

    New 2024 Tesla Tire Repair Kit

    "Tire Repair Kit includes an air compressor, a storage bag, and a bottle of sealant": Doesn't sealant damage the TPMS? If not, that's all I'll need to get as my 12v air compressor works great and cost me $25 - and is now $21 on Amazon.

    New Hampshire I-89

    I decided to do my first auto steer experiment on empty I-91 in Vermont on a Sunday morning. Utter failure when the car was confused between the freeway and an exit thus steering me into dirt between the two. It was terrifying. That ended that experiment and I will never, ever use autosteer...

    No rear tow hook?

    Wow, how could anyone know this would be useless if tow hitch is installed? I got stuck in deep snow and CHP and I couldn't understand what this "hole" was if not for tow capabilities. Instead we used my attached bike rack hitch - less than ideal and certainly not intended for towing but there...
