Dripping/leaking behind rear wheel

I just discovered some dripping/leaking coming from behind the right rear wheel. There’s no color, no smell to it. Feels like water when I touch it and rub it into my hand and dries out, so it seems like condensation but from way back there? Anyone have any idea what it may be?

Collision damage M3

Sooo… this happened today. Other driver at fault. Their insurance (state farm) accepted 100% liability. Why does it feel like I got kicked in the face when I open up the claim (mind you this all took place in the same day the accident occurred) to find that this is the amount they are sending me… $5300!!!

Surely the repairs on this are going to cost A LOT MORE. What should I do in this case?
Can I negotiate ? should I have Tesla collision body shop look at it and then they can deal with the insurance for getting the $$$ for the actual repair costs?
Ugh this is so frustrating! Does anyone have some experience or advice here. TIA.

Wheel and Tire package questions

I put winter tires on the wheels that came with my car, so now I want to buy a wheel and tire package for All Seasons to be able to swap on my own as needed, but it looks like the Tesla Shop still only has the Winter tire package available. Two questions:
  1. Does anyone know when the All Season tire package should show up to order in the shop again? I assume they do Winter during the Winter and All Seasons during the Summer, but it's already May.
  2. The description for the package says it includes shipping to your Service Center and installation, but has anyone bought these and confirmed you get to take your old set of wheels and tires home with you? I put Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s on just this Jan and want to keep them for next winter.

2017 Tesla Model X P90D - What are your experiences? (Advice on purchasing used Model X)

Hi everyone,

I'm contemplating purchasing a 2017 Model X P90D that has logged around 80,000 km. I would appreciate hearing about your experiences with this specific model, especially from those who have dealt with high mileage.

The warranty is nearing its end, and I am concerned about potential hidden costs. Are there common issues I should be aware of? Also, since I’m buying it from the original owner, are there particular questions I should ask or specific things to check before finalizing the purchase?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

2024 M3 no stalks. How initiate TACC?

Owned M3 5 days. My attempts to get the TACC to work have failed. The tesla website only describes earlier M3 (with stalks).

Nothing I can find in the car data describes all the features of the steering wheel buttons etc (except turn signals and
speaker volume). The stuff by right hand hardly mentioned at all.

So ... How to get TACC to work? Is it buried somewhere in the car information or ?
TIA for any help.

App control when car at garage

Hi everyone,

My car is in the garage behaving some work done.

At night they leave it outside and unlocked…..I use the app to lock it.

Just now, the app showed a picture of the car moving and it freaked me out somewhat.
It went up to 46mph.
Then stopped….. I put the sentry on as it was parked and it is at the garage!
What do you make of that.?
Explain please.

Payment not complete!?

I just picked up my new MYLR Saturday. I wanted to pay in full at pickup. I did not have enough money in one account to do so and wanted to pay from two bank accounts. By the time I was picking up my car there was not enough time to transfer the funds and have them available. An associate at Tesla instructed me through the process of wiring from two accounts… this did not work and they ended up charging the full amount to one account which I knew did not have enough for the full transaction, essentially overdrafting my account by almost $10,000. I then immediately transferred the rest of the money into that account and prayed, knowing the funds wouldn’t be available before Tesla tried to pull it but, again, praying anyway.

Today I received this email from my bank (Sofi):

“TESLA MOTORS TESLA MOTO attempted to charge $10,000 to your SoFi checking account. We are unable to process this transaction and it has been returned due to R09 - Uncollected Funds.”

My understanding now is that I have a balance of $10k left on the car through Tesla. How can I pay this?? I have searched the app and customer service high and low. Im not seeing a balance anywhere. Thanks again!! Been on hold with costumer service phone line trying to talk to somebody for 45 min now….

Powerwall 3 Partial Backup Metering

We recently had a solar system installed that includes 2x Powerwall 3s and Telsa Backup Gateway 2. We're configured for partial backup with the A/C, Pool Pump, and Furnace remaining on the main panel. All other loads are on the backup panel. Our system is working flawlessly for all the backup loads, and we can monitor the coming and going of power through the system. However, the non-backup loads on the main panel continue to draw power from the grid and are not taking advantage of the self-generated power. I understand that this is because the Powerwall 3 does not support third party monitors, like Neurio that can help solar side determine where power flows from battery to grid. Anyone else experiencing this very frustrating and significant gap in the Powerwall 3 capability? We are continuing to draw ~15kwH per day to support our pool pump and that will double once temperatures start rising and we need our A/C. Is the short-term solution to move all loads to the backup side or wait for Tesla to offer a solution? Interested in your thoughts.

Camera Vieu after incident

I had a road rage incident Saturday 4/27/24 at 7;45 am. and the police wants to identify the person, so I was trying to get the images from my car I try my mobile apps I and I could fine how to access the images. Eventually I want to Tesla, and I ask for some help. I was told that is USB Flah drive in my glove compartment. so, I want home to remove the flash drive and I attached to my desk top computer, and I was trying to fine the time image of the incident but was overridden by then due the small capacity of the flesh drive.
The question is can I still get the images of the incident from Tesla?

Towing a boat, launched and water too high

I towed my boat to the lake with X, like I have done many times. When launching I got in a little too far into the water and my X shut down. The bumper was maybe 1inch into the water. I'm thinking maybe the trailer electrical connection got wet and shorted. I'm nit sure. But the car won't start, says it needs service. Any ideas on how I could handle without Towing and waiting a week+ for service?

Premium Connectivity Trial 2024 - not seeing 1 yr credit

My apologies if this is the wrong place to post, but I leased my MYLR 2024 in March 2024 through a referral. The person referring me got the 10,000 credits, but I did not/am not seeing my 1yr premium connectivity (only showed the standard 1mo in the app) nor the 3mo full self driving.

Do leased vehicles get the buyer credit? It seems they should if my referrer received their credits. Thanks!

Towing vehicle flashing up on rear sensor....

Hi there, can anyone tell me if Tesla are looking at turning off the rear sensor when towing? For as soon as i hitch anything up to my MYP the sreen flickers showing another vehicle close up behind me which is obviously the item im towing!!

It would not be too bad if it were constantly showing on the screen but its not and flickers sometimes randomly which can be very off putting when driving as i can see it out of the corner of my eye!!

Lets hope its a simple software fix on a future update or does anyone have a workaround till that happens?
