Got to drive my S in the first time for the snow last week …. Had a long ~130 mile drive each way in the snowstorm, and made an interesting observation …. I do have Michelin X-Ice tires on the car, so the tread is equipped correctly. I tend to really drive one-pedal as much as I can and mostly...

Got the alert yesterday on my 2020 Model X ... time for a new 12V battery. 3 years, 2 months, 63k miles ... she's been ridden pretty hard. Setup a Mobile Service appointment ... for today. Technician came right on time, changed the battery, 1/2 hour and $240 later, and all was done. Amazing...

I know there've been more than a fair share of suspension clunk/bump sounds, but this one is fairly unique to me. I can't tell exactly what's clunking; anyone recognize this particular clunk sound? It almost sounds like a "bouncing" metal on metal sound. I've been waiting for my round...

Fellow X'ers -- Before I bring the X in for service, wanted to see if my X is acting up, or is it doing something expected? Long story short - when I have "only" the dash vents enabled, I've got plenty of airflow. All is good. But if I then enable the floor vents as well, the dash vents shut...

When we installed our outdoor Wall Connector a few years ago, our electrician also recommended (and I concurred) installing a non-fused disconnect next to it, since the breaker panel is indoors. Technically, NEC 625.43 requires a disconnect like this for equipment > 60 amps or > 150V to ground...

Hey folks - can I ask a quick favor? One of you with a SiriusXM subscription & the 2021.48.X (V11) firmware …. can you go into the X and tune to, as an example, the “60s on 6” station? Does it actually tune to 60s on 6? Mine tunes to Coffee House. I’ve got lots of other channel screwups...

So our half Bulldog/half beaver decided last week that the rear center seatbelt buckle looked like a tasty treat. I have the Tesla pet seat covers but - my own fault - failed to close the Velcro opening all the way around the buckle. I had her seatbelted into the car so I didn’t think twice...

So many complaints about service; thought I’d give you my most recent experience. Like a knucklehead, I accidentally broke the tabs on my bumper tow hook cover. Opened a service case in the Tesla app. Sent a photo and asked about picking up a new one at the SC. Instead, Tesla Springfield...

Who's got this beautiful trailer? Saw this photo on another forum and it's just a beauty!! New meets old. Love it.

I apologize for asking because I’m sure you’ve described it in exquisite detail but I just can’t find it ... Do you know what the “behavior” of the AUX pin is on the Raven? Is it providing 12V while the vehicle’s in motion? Stationary? Just curious if and how I can use it to top off the 12V...

Recently updated firmware to 2020.44. Was then updated to 2020.44.10.1 quickly thereafter. Starting with 202.44, the “Favorites” icon scrollbar in the media player is now showing dozens upon dozens of songs from my Spotify account. Any idea how to remove them?? I want only my radio...

Hey all - looking at jumping into the fray here a bit. We're considering purchasing an R-Pod RP-193 travel trailer (r-pod RP-193 | Forest River RV - Manufacturer of Travel Trailers - Fifth Wheels - Tent Campers - Motorhomes) and wanted to query the experts on their thoughts. We'd be using our...

We're now 2 weeks in with our Model X LR+, and I find it a pretty interesting comparison vs. our Model 3 LR AWD... Obviously both cars have many similarities, but there's some very notable differences. Some things I like better about the X, and some - surprisingly - about the 3. In the X...

Full set of 18” wheels with partially used OEM tires - located in New Jersey. • Model 3 18” wheels w/ OEM TPMS sensors • Michelin MXM4 tires - 5.5/32 to 6/32” tread depth • Aero covers • Wheel cap kit • Touch up paint One of the rims has a bit of rash (covered with touch up paint), but...

FYI for anyone looking to buy an EV in New Jersey ... The governor's office announced today that the EV credits are *retroactive* back to January 17th of this year, when he signed the bill .... Office of the Governor | Governor Murphy Affirms Electric Vehicle Rebate Eligibility Effective as of...

Hey folks - does anyone have an unlimited carfax account who’d be willing to pull a report for me? My wife’s car is almost done with repairs and I want to see what the CarFax says before we make a decision what to do with it ... If you don’t mind running a report, please PM me for the VIN...

I’ve noticed recently that more and more Superchargers are no longer reporting the # of empty stalls in the Tesla app. here in NJ - our “local Superchargers” are 1/4 on reporting. Started with Parsippany- it stopped displaying when it reopened after the (power company) fire. Then, when...

For everyone complaining about the service centers... here's one for ya. Deer jumps in front of my wife's Enclave last Monday. Set off the airbags (she's OK), did a bunch of damage. State Police call a towing company, who pick it up from the side of Interstate 80. Call State Farm, open a...

How warm does your HVAC heater blow? Mine is lukewarm at best. I mean, I was able to get the car from 59-72 degrees today in ~5 minutes via the app, but when I feel the air coming out of the vents - even when turned to HI - it’s only lukewarm. This will not please SWMBO. She wants...

Driving through the Holland Tunnel at rush hour. Yuck. But with Autopilot engaged, it’s just time to listen to some good tunes and enjoy a latte. What song comes on? Zoom in the photo .... Amen to that!!!

So there's one quirk that's giving me a little tick... maybe it's just me. Situation: Autopilot w/ Autosteer engaged. If/when it's necessary to disengage by turning the wheel, Autosteer disengages *but* TACC stays engaged. But if, instead of grabbing the wheel, one taps the brake OR presses...

Seems odd to ask this in LATE JUNE, but here we are. It was about 65 degrees F today and raining. My wife got in the car and, because she was cold, turned the cabin heater up to HI. (Past 82F!) She was expecting melt-your-face heat, but instead only gets a very very luke warm air, if that...

I don't know if this is common elsewhere, but here in the Northeast (I guess it's a bit of an imported Italian custom) - some folks like to throw a few coins into a new car, as a "good luck" kinda thing. I specifically asked someone not to do this, but they ignored me and did so anyway when I...

My morning: “Regen braking feels weak, that’s weird....” Parks at Costco... Reaches up to turn on Sentry... “Oh, look, it’s on the wife’s driver profile!” Well, that explains the weak regen! Her profile is set for low regen. Dang ICErs! Happy Sunday everyone!

Really, the Model 3 stinks. It’s a terrible car. ... simply because, it’s completely ruined driving anything else for me. Things like instant torque, turn signal stalks, steering, audio, the huge display, and so much more .... have me completely questioning the so-called “quality” of...

Hi all! It’s a month old now, and maybe I have my first issue, or maybe not ... Does anyone have a wind whistle coming from somewhere around the driver’s side mirror? Sounds like a bird chirping. It’s not the window - it’s audible with the window rolled all the way down. I had a service...

This just happened in our township .... I hope this wasn’t your Model S. Even moreso, I hope whomever it was is OK. Stay safe, stay attentive and stay engaged out there.

For those of you with a 3D Printer (or, like me, a family member with one ...) I can strongly recommend this 3D-printed connector holder. It's making my life a lot easier. My Wall Connector is installed on the side of my home, behind a gate. That means I'd have to open the gate and feed the...

Just took my Model 3 for its first car wash. We have a local place that I like very much - it's a hand car wash, but with an automated roller system.... so no ugly brushes or machinery smacking your car around, but it does go on a roller track. They asked me to actually stay in the car through...

To quote Steve Jobs... this car is insanely great. And, while I'm sure Tesla has its issues as a company, I encountered none of them. Picked up this morning at the Paramus NJ Tesla center. A huge shout out to Sean Dubits & Chris Wimbert, my delivery advisors! They. are. AWESOME. This is a...

Hey folks - Quick and silly trade-in question... anyone know if it's possible to get a trade-in value from Tesla before placing the order for a vehicle? If so, who would I reach out to? I want to see what they'd value my trade-in at before I commit to purchasing anything. Considering...

So now that the Y is announced.... and prices are going back up .... anyone else think leasing is right around the bend? I want it to turn on quickly! I'm at a point where I'd come out a little ahead getting out of my current lease early; I have a trade in price from Vroom that puts me ahead...
