My Bryant outlet came defective : ( There is a terminal that just spins. It gets to about 10in lbs. Its a hot terminal. I called Zoro and they are sending me a replacement. Good company I will order from them again. I decided to open the outlet since it's already broke. You can easily...

As it turns out my original outlet is a DR50-4s. I haven't seen anyone else posting one of these in the forums yet. It seems to be better quality than some of the others out there. Some pictures of it next to the Bryant for comparison. SELECT Lighting SL-DR50A-4S Volt Straight Blade Device...

Good info, I was wondering why it said 125v in some of the Amazon titles. I ended up changing to the Bryant version just now. I had it in my cart on that Zoro for a day. They sent me an email with a 15% off coupon code and free shipping if I complete my order. Made it $10 less than the...

If it's fake or doesn't work I will let you guys know. It's shipped by Amazon and they do mix stock. I've previously received fake spark plugs and return swapped brake rotors from Amazon so anything is possible. I will have to really look over the markings and box on it.

Maybe... I do have copper. I only run 32amps on the mobile connector though. I have a 40amp breaker and 8awg in conduit. I charge every day. Never had an issue.

I use the Tesla mobile charger with a cheap 14-50 and my wire is only 8. I'm on year 5 with this setup but I've seen so many melted cheap 14-50s that I ordered the hubbell yesterday. It's only $49 now on Amazon. It's clearly just a better product. I can't find any pictures or posts of a...

Leviton recently came out with new receptacles made specifically for EV use.

He wasn't using a Tesla charger. There is a picture of the charger in the video. I don't know what it is but it's not Tesla.

Yea not a good situation. It was a cheaper outlet and It wasn't torqued correctly. I also bet he was pulling 40amps. I purchased a torque driver and torqued mine myself. Most electricians don't use them. I also put in a 40amp breaker and run 32amps. After 4 years... My outlet doesn't get...

Service mode.

You hitting the brake while you get out of the seat? Some people push off the brake. If you are a brake pusher you are turning the car on after you lift out of the seat. Pushing the brake overrides the logic of the seat sensor. The car turns on and assumes someone is still inside until you...

Confirmed mine is downloading 8.9 to 14.6.

Yes if your car is still connected to Bluetooth and the car thinks someone is still inside. Example: You get out of the car and put a backpack on the seat. The car uses the seat occupancy sensor to pickup weight and stays turned on because it thinks you are inside still. The phones audio...

I feel like when a new model comes out we normally instantly get comparison videos. They must have some kind of restrictions on the media to comparison videos.

Are there any videos or tests comparing this update to the old performance?

When you say took it next day for inspection why and was it a regular shop or Tesla? If it was a regular shop then yes they probably purchased the cheapest wheel they could find as a fix and it's not matching. It might even be a repaired wheel. They repair bends and scrapes then paint them...

I still have the OEM MXM4 tires. Probably my last season with them. 32,000 miles and I've plugged them myself 3 times. No issues with foam.

Call up Tesla and ask how much the OEM seat cover is. You can change it yourself. It's not hard. I am willing to bet the actual seat cover is cheaper than some of the seat cover covers. The seats come out with just four bolts and one plug. The covers are held on by just clips and Velcro. I...

Lol, I have a 2020 stealth. It was only $2,000 more than a regular long range. People bought it for the savings and to get away from the 20in wheels with summer only tires. I am in the northeast. I think the rumor was they ran out of wheels or brakes for a small run in 2020 and produced a few...

What did the batter percentage say? The battery could have just drained from being parked in an auction lot for an extended period of time.

This car is a newer model so now we can't even say it's a hardware difference in the older cars that got 2024.8.7

Anyone here have a car with ultrasonic sensors that got fsd free trial? That's probably the reason for the different software versions. Smart summon uses the USS still. The other hardware difference I am aware of is that I have a radar in the front bumper. I think cars after 2021 don't have...

I am in the Northeast so it's not location based.

Yea I am HW3 on 2024.8.7. 2020 model 3 performance

Same here.

I didn't get the free month. I am on 2024.8.7. I don't understand this. So people with the 2024.8.7 version software are just not going to get it?

Maybe he just stopped because the screen died and didn't know you can drive without it? I have drove my model 3 with no screen even in the car. The model S might be different though.

The Bluetooth antenna is in the passenger side mirror. Not my picture. It will take a door a little bit longer to unlock if the car is in deep sleep. The first pull of the handle wakes the car. You are probably opening the back door when the car is already awake.

Take the car to a regular mechanic and ask them to take a look at it. There is nothing special about the suspension that requires Tesla. Don't tell them you already went to Tesla. A regular mechanic should just find the issue and fix it rather than try to replace all those parts. It should...

There are a few grounds visible when you take the frunk out. Not sure which one it is but just try to follow the steering column to the electric power steering unit. Then look for a wire going to the cars chassis and see it it's corroded. I wonder if this article is talking about this same...

Short in the right rear motor. That makes sense. The service menu was saying motor undercurrent. So the power for the motor was shorting. They probably unplugged the rear motor and that front motor started working.

Are your door puddle lights working? Do you have after market puddle lights?

I have a 2020 model 3 but it's the same part number as the newer S. It's a little hard to find in the catalog because it's not under seats. It's under safety and restraints then seats belts. You are likey right that it's different for the pre-2017 cars. FIRST ROW OCCUPANCY SENSOR(1099592-00-F)

At first when I read your comment I thought no way these sensors cost more than a few dollars. Then I looked up the BMW version and it's bmw. The Tesla version: my seat Bmw version:

You take the bumper off and push them back in. Look up how to remove the bumper on YouTube. If you are comfortable doing it go for it. Tesla fixes them via mobile service. It might need 3m tape to hold it on.

Hey just FYI, I replaced my second seat sensor recently. The warranty replacement lasted over a year and it went bad again... I bought the sensor from Tesla for $12. Replaced it myself in about an hour. You just take out the seat and pull the seat cover off. The sensor comes with double...

You are right. They cut costs by taking out the parking sensors. It will never be as good as with them. They should have just raised the price of the car a little bit if they needed. The parking sensors are something that were well liked. The new highland now has rgb interior but they still...

This is normal behavior in cold weather. Every Tesla does it. Scroll through the manual it's in there. "Regenerative braking can be limited if the Battery is too cold. As you continue to drive, the Battery warms up and regenerative power increases"...

You could have a bent wheel. If you have OEM 20in they bend often. If you have the 19 you could have a balance weight hitting the caliper. If you have 18in they don't fit performance models.

They are nice. You can order them here for cheaper. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKbmx8o

Did they swap only the tires or they swapped the wheels and tires?

My parents have purchased 3 rental cars and all turned out fine. People also buy used cars all the time that were leased. Is there really that big of a difference between a rental and a car off lease? I know people that don't take care of their cars because it goes back in a few years.

If you flip the airbag module over the airbags go off as a roll over. If you use an impact on the module bolts they can go off as a collision. No clue why it happens just thinking about it and googling. You would think service mode locks this though. Maybe the car exists service mode when...

It's standard to disconnect the 12v batter for a while before working on the SRS Restraint control module of any car. It's designed to work in a catastrophic event so it needs to work no matter what if there is 12v power. Stray voltage could also set off a bag. The picture looks like he was...

Did you check the rear heat vents under the front seats? They are not protected from stuff rolling into them at all. I had a small screwdriver in mine once. Tesla is going to charge you money if they find something in them.

Could also be a phone issue. You turning Bluetooth off on your phone while in the car? It will disable walk away lock. You also need Bluetooth scanning always on. Maybe try resetting your Bluetooth settings on your phone.

You can test the seat sensor in service mode. It's under seats and restraints. You tap the seat and it will say occupied then change to unoccupied when you lift your weight off.

I replaced mine twice also. Second time I did it myself because no more warranty. I found out the techs folded the ribbon cable and that's probably why it stopped working second time. Sensor is $12 from Tesla.

Normally mine does this also. It's louder in a certain throttle position. Almost neutral like when I am not accelerating or slowing. Its normal.

The car does generate a high frequency sound. Its normal. I can faintly hear it but most people I ask can't. I have a model 3 and can hear it when my rear seats are down. High frequency sounds are generated by a lot of electronics. High frequency sounds have been known to cause anxiety in dogs.
