I just saw a post on cl for a 50A (allegedly) extension cord that terminated in 14-50P and 14-50R My question is: What's the P and the R for? Prong and Recepticle maybe? Why not M and F for Male and Female ... or is that just too carnal?

I just got this email: Your Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Trial starts now! You've been granted a 30-day complimentary trial of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) for your Model Y ending in XXXXXX. Under your supervision, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) can drive your Tesla almost anywhere. It...

(moderator note) Due to the way the forum software handles posts moved (which is by date / time stamp) this post became the first post in this thread. The actual first post in the thread is post #3, =============================================== I know you said PM, but ... I have a...

I've seen several posts here where people say they'd like the tailgate height to be location sensitive and I think this would be a great idea. At home I park under a carport, so I have the limit set to ... well let's just say you can look at the scars and lumps on my forehead and figure out what...

The app on my phone says the last time I used one was January the something. What it doesn't say is that that was January 2022 🤣 I took delivery in October 2021 and did a few long trips, but generally I'm 100% home charging since then

Well I know that it's always been a two plate state, but let's be honest, it was a rule more honoured in the breach than the observance. Having said that, I just took the Prius in for an inspection and they said that since Dec 1st of 2023, they're starting to take it seriously That sucks (but...

I read that TXDoT is "making their own brine solution" and I see around Dallas and Fort Worth the main roads have these parallel lines on the surface - in fact I actually saw a crew doing it in Dallas last week The lines are definitely new and AFAIK they've never used salt before, which is one...

Weird question I know, but no stranger than all the other ones asking about the best position in a garage ... what about horizontally on the ceiling? It'd be a good way to provide service to two parking slots and it would be difficult to have it up there with it mounted vertically (ouch!) Not...

on regular roads that is, not snow and ice

I've never taken a wheel off or rotated the tyres on the Y, but I figured it was about time I gave it a go, so I'm going to order the lifting puck. I noticed AO also sell a guide for aligning the wheels when re-mounting, but if you look at the picture they show, the wheel seems to have fixed...

I just installed a FitcamX dashcam in the Y. I've had Viofo cameras in my vehicles for a while now, but the FitcamX has two major benefits It records in 4k It's made to look like a factory installation, rather than an after market addon The only downsides I see are that unlike a Viofo, it...

Ok, I have no legal qualifications, but as usual if you read between the lines there is a loophole : The $200 fee added on to registration ($400 for a new registration) is codified under Texas Transportation code 502.198(a) which says: "...this section applies to all fees collected by a...

I've seen this a few times - people driving a Tesla of one sort or another but using their phone at the same time. Well I suppose we all use our phone, but when I do it I use the bluetooth and use the mic and speaker in the car - I've seen people doing that weird...

2021 Model Year I have a device that the manufacturer says I should pull off that cover below the rear vents, separate the CAN bus and add in their stub as a way to get switched power to the device but I figured I'd ask here first to see if there were any special precautions I should be taking...

Every now and again in the past I've seen a sign on the back of a car saying "Student Driver" which seems like a good idea and similar to L plates in the UK However I seem to be seeing them a lot more recently - have they become a requirement n Texas?

Ok, not a Tesla question, but I figured someone here would know. If you rent a demo hammer they make you sign a waiver that you won't use an extension cord (or maybe not one less than a certain gauge) because it'll burn up the appliance and void the warranty ... and don't come crying to us...

Actually it's a pretty good feature and means at the red light you can check your phone, take a nap, eat a bowl of cereal etc and the GLB will make sure you're not that person ... you know the one with his head up his a$$ who holds everyone up, then takes ages to put it in gear and finally...

...other than when you drop her into gear of course I have an 80 mile rt commute and I consider it bad form to touch the brake pedal (though obviously not as bad as slamming into the car in front of me) I can generally manage it, but today had a teensy misjudgment and had to take a dab...

Yes I went to Take Five and got in line ... but (obviously) not for an oil change, I went for an inspection As I was sitting there I started thinking ... they normally have to drive your car round the block to check the brakes etc, so I wonder what I can add to make sure they don't go nuts with...

I downloaded the latest software update and I noticed that one of the changes was to play a two note melody when you put it in D and a different two note melody when you put it in R However, it now also plays a three note melody when you push the end of the stalk to put in in P Maybe it's just...

Funnily enough I just sent off for a replacement DL, so when I saw the envelope I though "That was quick" I suppose I should have known better Anyway, keep your eyes peeled; not sure if it's times to arrive a certain number on days before your registration is due, or if they all went out at...

I guess I just outed my preference 🤣

AND it now has four wheels! P7 Chassis | EV Chassis for Trucks & Commercial Vehicles

I just saw this post on our local craigslist I know it's WalMart and not from Tesla, but seven hundred ????? Wait I just went and checked and they're currently $528 !!!!! Why would anyone go to WalMart for this anyway???? They're currently four and a quarter on Tesla dot com

This friend of mine may or may not be remodeling his (or her) bathroom and was going to run a switched circuit across the room to the light over the sink (switch near the door and light on the other side of the room). Then this friend had the idea that a GFI outlet next to that sink would be a...

It's pretty cold here today (well by our standards) and I noticed I had the Blue Snowflake(tm) The car felt pretty funny leaving the neighbourhood, so I remembered recent threads and switched on blended braking. Just like jcanoe said, it made the car drive completely "normally" and I saw the...

The funny thing is that they looked exactly the same as the release notes from the last upgrade I did (forgot to look what version that was before I did the upgrade) Energy screen changes App improvements Open car warning A couple of other things Just seems odd, like there wasn't really that...

So does that mean I need a multi-engine rating to drive it?

California has an official adhesive license plate, but I see there's something available for Texas, even though it's not what you'd call official https://adhesivereplica.com/texas-license-plate-replica I'm not sure I'd actually get one, but if you're worried about it being a two plate state...

Just drove past it today and half the parking lot is fenced off, but I noticed there were some electrical looking things in the fenced off area Just East of Lemon where LA Fitness is

I think I read this somewhere once, but forgot why (never did understand it anyway) It just seems an illogical sequence

The SRS, or Supplementary Restraint System badge you see on the inside of the A and maybe the B pillar and sometimes above the glove box, maybe in the seat - I'm assuming it's there to remind people who might work on cars that there's an explosive charge nearby, so take a little extra care when...

My panel is 150A, but that's just the panel. Maybe that's all they had on the truck when they installed it twenty years ago. Can I tell from looking at the service entry cable size if it could have been higher? I figured maybe if I looked I could tell whether it was 0 or 1/0, 2/0 etc I...

Question one: I've been looking at Travel Trailers or Teardrop Campers, whatever you want to call them, specifically the T@G because it's the less insanely priced one. I'm in Texas btw Do you have to get them registered? (I expect that's a yes) Do you have to insure them? (I'm betting yes...

Just an idle thought, but I wonder if they have separate software for the S, 3, X and Y or if they're all the same with IF statements embedded where necessary I can see advantages in each method

I'm on v11 (2022.16.2) and I have to say it's not as bad I had expected after reading comments on here (unless maybe I waited so long I skipped a level) One thing it doesn't seem to do well though is handle my phone. It shows as connected, but I now have to use the keycard to shift into D or R...

I've reviewed mine a couple of times and I have to say, the Rear is pretty good, the Left and Right Repeaters are quite good too, but the Front is very pixilated Is this just me or is it a common complaint? Do I need to set up an appointment? I've had dashcams in my other vehicles for several...

I promise I looked for an answer, I even RTFMd, but I'm still having trouble setting something up so I can listen to audio books in the car I bought an SSD - a Samsung T7 and formatted it in the car Then I noticed it was exFAT, so I downloaded the free version of EaseUS Partition Manager and...

come on now - which one of you bought it from Best Buy then returned it? Oh this is annoying because you can't change the title of a thread: It's TESLADRIVE, not Teslacam :mad: The folder name was created when I formatted it in the vehicle (because it wasn't regocnised by my PC)

I actually got it from a thrift store, with a ball and a pin for about $5 I took the cover off (nice warm day so nothing broke) and offered it up. It fitted perfectly, but I have to say if you grab hold of it and push/pull it back and forth, there's a little play in it. I guess when driving...

Anyone know how to remove the trunk light in the Y? It's really alarmingly bright if you go glamping and open the back door

I read the User Manual before I got the vehicle, but tbh, I've already forgotten a lot of it and need to give it another go. Yesterday I read a thread that reminded me about the way to open the frunk with an A23 12v battery, so of course I had to try it - I mean open the hatch, not the actual...

Here's an interesting question: I have a Y and have the Tesla HPWC installed through a 30A breaker on a sub panel. I chose 30A after doing a load calculation and downrated the connector to match. TBH I think it's all you need really I got the wife looking at a Hyundai Ionic5 (very nice vehicle...

I (finally) got all the way through the first draft of my 221 tax return, but I didn't see any way to include the installation of the HPWC to get the associated credit (I'm using Tax Cut btw) It'll be my Friday task to get this finished, but I figured I'd ask to see if anyone can point me in...

The covers aren't too bad really, but the underlying wheels are really quite attractive.. I thought about going naked, but then I'd have to buy the Wheel Cap Kit No big deal, it's only (another) fifty bucks, but I wondered ... once you put the center thing in (or for that matter any of the...

After reading all the negative reviews here, I've been avoiding it like the plague but . . . today I got a message saying my time had run out and if I wanted a functioning car, I'd better start the download I'm not exactly looking forward to this

Mind you, there'd need to be an internal connector or there's not much point other than spanning long "dry" distances or relief when you've pushed it too far I heard about trailers that contain batteries, but they're eye wateringly expensive AND will kill your energy consumption figures anyway...

I mean it's not like you can really enjoy the thing when you're driving as it's more of a back seat thing.

I just stumbled across this YT video [1] of some guy up in Canada turning his Y into a Camper Van. Looks like he did it before with a 3 How I Built My Tesla Model Y SUV Camper (Kitchen, Bed, Storage, DreamCase) He does extraordinarily good work with some fairly advanced techniques considering...
