I've owned an S since 2014 and two Xs since 2016. I took delivery of my Y last week and have been enjoying the car. It's very well put together (better than my other three Teslas were) and just feels more "mature" of a vehicle. I do miss my air suspension, but the thing that drives me kind of...
Original owner of 2014 Model S P85. It's the car that got me onto this forum all those years ago and inspired this post. I have a Model Y coming this month and it's time to allow someone else to enjoy Sparky. The car has rarely been DC fast charged - most of the Supercharging came before 2016...
Today Airstream and Thor announced the eStream, an electrified Airstream that has motorized wheels and a large skateboard battery. While this is technically a travel trailer, it's also an EV in itself, which is why I've placed this thread in the forum location I have.
Details from Thor: Meet...

Let's say you stop at a store and pick up a 6 pack of Dos Equis Amber.. for instance. And maybe you didn't bring a bag into the store and the clerk asks if you need one and you say, "of course not, it comes with a handle," and smugly go on your way thinking how clever your response is. Then...
I have been having a discussion with a friend who owns a Model Y. He pointed out that there is a 0.75" rise limit with the stock receiver, which I confirmed here:
I know the Model X had this same limitation, but it was a limitation of the removable Bosal receiver, which could bend out of true...
Today we were leaving on a camping/trailering trip in our Model X. When I hooked up the trailer, the car saw the hookup and gave me the blue trailer icon, but my brake controller did not detect the trailer. After some attempts to disconnect and reconnect all the fittings, and testing with my...
It has come to my attention that @4SUPER9 cannot utilize the multiquote feature. When quotes are added, the "Insert Quotes" button doesn't appear for them. I am unsure if this is spread more widely, which is why I'm posting this thread publicly.
@doug, do you have any insight into why this...
I removed the stock Bosal Model X hitch bar and adapter the day after I purchased my X. All parts are brand new and unused.
Local is probably best, as the assembly is large and heavy. I'm in the Bay Area.
Make an offer. I prefer to sell everything together; not just the adapter.
I’m currently at the Truckee Supercharger with my brand new X LR+. I have my Airstream unhitched and parked in the Safeway lot. I noticed that I was only getting 60kW charge rate on my LR+ and thought I’d move it to another pedestal. When I tried to unplug, I got a white ring but couldn’t...
Has anyone figured out a way to keep the 12V "cigarette lighter" outlets in the front and (especially) back always-on? I know this post from @Ingineer details how to do it in a pre-facelift S, but it doesn't seem to apply to a modern X.
I will be buying a new Model X shortly to replace my 2016...
We are currently on a camping trip with our Airstream. While charging at the Supercharger in Williams, CA, the MCU went black and air conditioning became unavailable. additionally, the 12v accessories outlets front and back became dead, turn signals stopped working, odometer stopped working...
I didn't see this posted anywhere yet, so here it is. I would have liked to see a measurement of the front seat to the floor. He measured the platforms for the seat (just over 6") but not from the knee of the seat to the floor.
Original wheels, were only briefly on the vehicle. I've had them stacked in my garage and want to sell. Local pickup (SF North Bay) is best because shipping is expensive and I don't have boxes. Make an offer; I'd like them out of the garage.
There are a number of threads asking various questions that apply to towing with the Cybertruck, but I thought it might be useful to have a single thread where we can discuss specifics of towing.
What do we know?
Single motor RWD: 7,500+ lbs., 250+ miles
Dual motor AWD: 10,000+ lbs., 300+...
My kids' school has SolarCity/Tesla leased PV. I'm trying to see if we can add storage to keep the school up during public safety outages. I am getting a copy the lease, but in the meantime, does anyone know if it's permissible to add storage to a leased system? Seems like it should be, but I'm...
In the 5+ years I've owned my P85, I've had a number of periods where my air compressor for the SAS runs indefinitely, then turns off and exhibits the red SAS icon (looks like an SUV with an up and down arrow). I have taken it in three times over the years, and they've found nothing. Generally...
These are the wheels without tires or TPMS. Includes lug nuts. I had them on my S for a month when I bought it and replaced them. They’ve been taking up space in the garage.
Make an offer. Bay Area pickup is ideal, as I don’t have boxes for shipment.
I've been hovering over the order button on a new “long range” X since the range improvement announcement. The only reason I’d order is for adding range while towing our camper. I realize we are at a point where there have been no deliveries and limited information, but I’m curious about how...
I was waiting in my kids' school parking lot for them to get out of school a week or so ago, and tried out the "Romance" mode to see what it did. I had my windows open, and Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" started belting out of the car. I urgently mashed my hands all over the screen to stop it as...
I received a call today from Tesla telling me that they were proactively replacing my two Powerwall 2 units. Apparently mine are affected by some kind of cooling issue. It is being handled something like a factory recall. Replacement is scheduled for a couple of weeks from now.
I found that...
I've had an issue pop up in the last few few weeks with my 2014 P85. The behavior is that the window wants to reverse back to open whenever I'm closing it. Initially, it only presented itself when I would fully pull up to "fast close" the passenger window. But it has progressed and gotten worse...
My daughter had a momentary lapse in judgement on the way back from a school field trip and planted a sticker on the back of the driver’s seat. When she realized, she immediately tried to peel it off, which was the worst thing to do because it left adhesive and robbed me of the ability to use a...
Our camper has a 20 gallon fresh water tank. I purchased a 30 gallon Aquatank 2. Very lightweight, but reviews and online anecdotes suggest it has good longevity and is tough. Dimensions are 36" x 36" x 14" which makes it a very easy fit in the back of the X. When empty, it rolls up nicely.
I...
Has anyone seen this message with the following symptoms?
I approach the car with the fob, lights come on but it doesn't unlock. I can unlock with the app.
In the car, press foot on brake and get "key not inside" message on the IC.
Center console, near the USB ports, clicks four times, pauses...
In January, Assemblyperson Phil Ting introduced this bill which intends to limit original registrations of vehicles after the year 2040 to Zero Emissions Vehicles only. It is intended as a phase-out bill and therefore doesn't currently place limitations on people bringing an ICE from out of...
When participating in a PM/Conversation, I find that clicking on the conversation will take me to the latest page of the conversation (if pagination has occurred) but will not snap to the latest reply. I would expect the latter behavior. This occurs on mobile (iOS) and on desktop (OS X).
Currently, posting in a thread subscribes a member to the thread. I was curious about whether we could add voting as a subscription trigger as well. If I "like" a post in a thread that I'm reading, it's quite possible I'll want to return to that thread as it interested me. Potentially there...
California Considers Following China With Combustion-Engine Car Ban
Looks more like internal questions than any serious policy movement, but worth posting here.
It's been well over 3 years since I took delivery of my Model S and I can honestly say I've had it.
What, specifically, have I had it do?
I've had it change my feeling about cars in a way I haven't felt since I was 16.
I've had it move me around town with energy offset by my rooftop solar...
Anyone else have a delayed alert when closing the liftgate on the X? When I tap the button, the liftgate begins to close, then about halfway down I get the "boop." Hence, delayed boop.
It isn't a big deal from a safety perspective, it's just weird.
I'm not sure when this occurred, but it I noticed that the Model X manual has new information about towing. My link should lead the reader to the manual, just search for Towing and you'll find the full text. Notable changes:
The disclaimer about damage due to towing has been expanded. The last...
For those who have been following my posts, you know that I've had some issues with my trailer rig and the stock Bosal hitch adapter. I decided to replace it with this Draw-Tite fixed/welded hitch.
Before, without hitch adapter inserted:
I won't bother reproducing my own version of the...
As some may know, I'm in the middle of a ~3500 mile trip towing my Airstream with the X. Within about 5 days, I started to notice that there was a little play in my receiver. I could wiggle it ever so slightly back and forth, where it was perfectly tight beforehand. I'd estimate about 1/16th of...
Musk Employs Unusual Marketing Plan for Model 3: 'Anti-Selling'
Regarding anti-selling due to worries about existing Model S owners trying to "upgrade" to a Model 3, I think there's something that they might be overlooking. In my case, I'd upgrade to a fully equipped Model 3 from my Model S if...
I reserved a Powerwall 1 on the day it was announced. I heard nothing from Tesla. On the day Powerwall 2 was announced, I reserved two of them, and heard nothing.. until today, a Sunday.
SolarCity called me and asked a bunch of questions to which they should have known the answers. For...
Time for Tesla to Listen
I'd be interested in hearing both sides of the story, but if he is representing it fairly, it doesn't reflect well on Tesla's factory environment. My visit there three years ago looked like a factory that took care of their workers, but I haven't been back, and I...
I believe there was already a thread on this, but I cannot seem to find it. I just want to reiterate that alerts do not always show up. I haven't been able to figure out exactly when or why it skips some notifications, but I know that it does. The ones I usually notice are feedback...
We use Graco boosters in our Model X. One is backless (and relatively unnecessary for my 10 year old, honestly - but the data says it's safer so we still use it). The other is with a back. That seat has a contact point at the headrest of the Model X as shown here:
I had previously made a...
I'm interested in the following Tesla part (not sure if it's the same for X and S, but either will suffice):
ASSY - CAMERA - REAR VIEW 1006773-00-E (or comparable)
Today, after long last, my excruciatingly boring posts about potential Model X trailer dynamics are over. At this point, I will begin with a different variety of snoozers - data-driven Model X trailer dynamics posts from my own experience.
I drove over to Fairfield, CA this morning to pick up...
The Model X has a 7-pin trailer connector, and one of those pins (#4) supplies +12V which, if connected properly, can charge the trailer's battery during travel. In an ICE, this power is supplied by the alternator and vehicle's 12V battery. On the Tesla, I'm assuming it's provided by the 12V...
Best wishes to everyone here as the days begin to lengthen (or shorten for you upside-downers). Whatever solstice-inspired holiday you Northern Hemispherios celebrate, take some time tonight or in the morning to enjoy the darkness and look forward to the waxing light.
No matter our relationship...
When composing a response in-thread, I have found that I occasionally see a flicker on the upper right of my screen. This happens when the system is saving my draft. I get the "Draft saved" bubble in my composition window, and at the same time, I see a notification bubble flicker over my...
