One thing leads to another... Researching Model X wheel & tire sets led me to Tesla's Referral Program, apparently a source for much joy and, equally, much ire. I simply wanted to know: W...

My 2013 P85+ got the infamous bms_u029 "Charge level reduced" last week and after reading up on the forum and going back and forth with Tesla Service I decided to write up what I learned. Much of this info is available on this forum but buried in various threads. My hope is to make this post complet...

We recently travelled from the Northern Beaches (Sydney) to the Barossa Valley (SA) and return in our 3LR.

Some of this information might be useful, particularly to new-comers. It is hardly an adventure trip and does not rival those who have gone around the continent, done Sydney-Darwin-return or P...

Why? Because you can do this when parked or for getting in and out. This is amazing. I’m also pretty much perplexed that it took me 2 years to figure this out…

I finally got around to playing with some Python code and the Teslapy module to use the excess solar to charge my car. My daughter (11 yo) helped out over the school holidays to get her more involved in programming. We started off by using ChatGPT to generate sample code for extracting the data from...

I've done this trip plenty of times before in a Model 3 SR+, and so I thought I would document what it's like in a Model Y RWD.

The weather was is the low 20s, with some light rain coming out of Sydney. The car was driven at the speed limit to stay with traffic, and it could certainly have been dri...

I am currently in a 20 plate, standard range M3 as my 71 plate M3P is in for a new battery. Thought I’d do a comparison after 500 miles.

Tony_YYZ · Apr 26, 2023

Just wanted to bring some attention to this new change in the Model Y offering. Tesla Canada is now offering a RWD option with 394kms of advertised range and a 0-100km/h of 6.9s.

Both that new RWD variant and the LR AWD are now eligible for the federal iZEV incentive. The RWD option is only availab...

Thought I’ll provide brief commentary of my Tesla experience, may relate to some. This post is of my views, and I do not intend to impose my views on anyone.

I currently own 3 Teslas, 2022 M3P, 2022 MY and 2023 MYP, prior I had a 2021 M3 SR+. I have a MX Plaid and CT on order.

A little background for context, we have a new MYLR W/W/19 that we picked up 3 weeks ago.

Dropped off the car this morning, surprised they were open on Sundays let alone on Easter, to have them fix a handful of issues found during delivery day. This was the SC on Kearny Mesa in San Diego. No other ...

I live in northern Europe (Norway) and FSD is not active here yet, but Autopilot is. During our easter holidays I drove a MYLR (rented) which is a 2022 model made in Shanghai. It has Autopilot and capable of previewing FSD. I updated the software in the car just before the trip (to 11.3.something).

Summary:
We bought this car for AWD, 7 seats and ease of traveling long distances. AWD is great, and technically it does have 7 seats - but we knew the 3rd row would only be for little kids, which is fine. While the Supercharger network enables long distance driving, the poorly functioning safety an...

In early April of 2023, my children and I embarked on a road trip to visit the college they plan to attend. We covered a distance of 2000 miles over two days, starting from Placerville, CA, and making several stops along the way, as indicated on our route map.

Despite the long journey, we did not e...

Hi all,
I wanted to install a secondary 12v outlet in my 2019 Model 3 but wasn't content with other solutions, which included splicing the existing wiring or dragging a line to the battery. It was difficult to track down the parts list, but I managed to compile a list of connectors and terminals nee...
