    Can’t log into Slacker or get streaming

    Day 3.. did the software update on Sunday, hard-rebooted after. Went to bed. Monday I had Streaming back. Now I know what to do if I ever get a new c.card. They don’t make it easy…

    How do I check the health of the 12V battery?

    Geez! Thanks guys! I almost bought an Ohmmu yesterday but held off. I was weighing the cost benefit too… couldn’t see one, other than not worrying about it for 4-5 yrs. I’m also having streaming issues. New C.Card, had to re-sign up for premium connectivity after it dropped off. Never happened...

    Can’t log into Slacker or get streaming

    Sorry for the rant, but I’ve had the car for almost 4 yrs, went through at least 2 credit cards, and never had this happen. It was just seamless. Never had to re-sign up for premium connectivity. It’s like they don’t want to make things easy for the owner. It’s day 2 and still no streaming. If I...

    How do I check the health of the 12V battery?

    Look into a Litium battery. They hold the charge longer. This is if you have an older model, before they started installing them in all the cars

    How do I check the health of the 12V battery?

    I don’t know.. I just don’t want to damage any of the electronics. Besides, changing the battery you have to do all that. I guess it’s not that hard, just a lot of steps. Not like my Prius that’s for sure! Lol

    Can’t log into Slacker or get streaming

    I may have to go to the service center Monday. I don’t know how to do a work around. This car is more of a pain in the ass than it’s worth. It’s like driving Windows Vista..

    It says “Captcha required to log in” to use vehicle acct..?

    How do I check the health of the 12V battery?

    No, I looked into it, you have to shut off the screen, unplug the HV cable, pull the NEG cable then check voltage. Otherwise you could damage systems. And yes, it’s a big pain! Might as well just change the battery! It’s been almost 2 yrs…

    Can’t log into Slacker or get streaming

    Same happened to me, but I changed credit cards & didnt re-sign up for premium connectivity. Did that, rebooted the screen, still can’t sign into Slacker. Tried to sign into my Tesla acct but needed some kind of code? Never heard of that before. Guess I’ll give it a few days and see what...

    How do I check the health of the 12V battery?

    There’s a procedure where you kill the power to the car by disconnecting the plug under the back seat. This isolates the 12v battery and you can check it directly.

    Tesla App Not Connecting... Fix?

    I just now had this issue. Closed the app, turned off wifi/Bluetooth, nothing. Reset the computer and seems to work now. Odd..

    Should all these remedies apply to the Model 3? I’m having the same issue, for about 2 mos now…

    The new media controls are crap

    I totally agree! I made a rant on my local fb page and was laughed at. But it’s ridiculous. Just leave things as they are. The media channels at the bottom of the map was just fine. Now they’re on 1/4 on the screen. It’s stupid. Just leave well enough alone. It was fine.

    2022-16-1-2 software

    I’m hearing after installing update, when driving and putting car into autopilot mode, as soon as you take your hands off the steering wheel, the display shows a countdown before turning off Autopilot. I mean, as soon as your hand leaves the wheel.

    GigaFest Austin, April 1,... make that April 7, whats happening.

    What’s sad is certain Tesla owners in close Proximity to the plant get to go. I live across the river from the plant and have not gotten an invite. And only a few in my neighborhood have gotten invites. Pretty cheap on Musks part.

    Model 3 The Model 3 trunk harness recall

    Okay, you're right. Camera has to be in the trunk lid. The fix should do the trick. But had I known of these issues I would of bought a Model S.

    Model 3 The Model 3 trunk harness recall

    Why couldn’t they of just rerouted the coax cable in the body and forget the trunk? That’s a much better fix. Get rid of that wire harness all together since it’s such a horrible design

    Model 3 The Model 3 trunk harness recall

    You call this a minor issue? They can’t design a trunk cable that won’t break??

    Have Gone Through 2 Tesla Gen 3 Home Chargers

    Stop running 48 amps. Drop to 30-35. Do you really Need 48 amps?? Just because it’s rated, do you need to max it out??? Lower it to 30 amps and you’ll be fine.

    Before I screw up my Model 3 in the car wash...

    I've been hand washing my cars for the last several years. I use a Spot Free rinse system - we have Very hard well water here, and seems to work pretty well. But I dry it off in the garage right away.

    Have Gone Through 2 Tesla Gen 3 Home Chargers

    IMO as well. If anything just run heavier gauge wire. The garage is on the other side of the house from the Main panel, but my house isn't that big, 1200 sq ft. They said the Code states to put in a splice. Having another electrician come for his opinion. But seems to be fixed and am only...

    Have Gone Through 2 Tesla Gen 3 Home Chargers

    Yes, looked like the wires weren’t installed correctly and came loose. He was also going to leave the rubber insulation off the junction box cover to allow for better cooling (then why didn’t they use a bigger box? Said well, I guess they could have..) but I talked him out of it, saying I wanted...

    Have Gone Through 2 Tesla Gen 3 Home Chargers

    I watched the guy fix the burned out connections. He said it happens sometimes, especially when you have a 48amp draw for hours. 1, I've never charged my car at 48amps, and besides, it's not "for hours" at a time. He then said something about the hot and cold causing expansion and constricting...

    Have Gone Through 2 Tesla Gen 3 Home Chargers

    Yes that’s correct. Electrician came out and found the wire splice was burnt out. And the install was done less than a year ago. It was fixed and everything is fine now, mailed off the old charger. But that opens another question: Why did the wires burn out if everything is in code?? Most likely...

    Have Gone Through 2 Tesla Gen 3 Home Chargers

    Update: Electrician came out, wires fried, but everything was in code. Now it works fine, trying to get it all set up, but it now charges the car.

    My home “charger” won’t even power up right after installing it (brand new unit). Voltages are good.

    Have Gone Through 2 Tesla Gen 3 Home Chargers

    I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve done voltage checks at the wall mount and am getting the correct voltage. The new wall mount “charger”, adapter, whatever you want to call it, that I just received the other day has no lights at all after I installed it and turned the power on to it. Brand new...

    Update: Third charger DOA! (4th Gen charger-model # …-G) Having electricians come out to check things. I’ve had solar panels installed with extensive rewiring but still getting 220vac to mounting bracket. This new charger I installed, no lights, nothing. And it took a month to get Tesla to...

    Wall charger(gen 3) or Travel Charger

    It was getting hot when charging above 38amps. There was a firmware update, that helped some, but even though I lowered the charge amps to 35, it was still getting pretty warm to the touch, almost hot. They sent a replacement, this one, and everything was fine until a month ago when it just...

    Wall charger(gen 3) or Travel Charger

    I'd stay away from the Tesla chargers. Maybe i've been unlucky, but they are shipping my second replacement. I wish now I'd of gotten a 220V outlet installed in my garage and spent $50 on an adapter. Hopefully this third one will be the charm.

    As the title suggests, I've gone through 2 home chargers in One year! The problem is currently being worked to get me a Third Tesla charger, but come on!

    Should I wait to install the Wall Connector?

    Smart move. I’ve had 2 Tesla chargers go bad w/in a year. So I’m installing a 240/50a plug next to it in case the 3rd one goes bad.
