I was just turned away from a Valvoline service center for the NY state inspection and they told me I would have to go to the dealership!!!! 750 Upper Glen Street, Queensbury, NY 12804 told me that they can't do any EV's because of the batteries and they damaged one somewhere so they won't do...

I have a 2020 M3 and have slipped a few times in the snow and ice. Normally I will turn the setting to low if it's snowing pretty heavily or if they haven't taken care of the roads yet. I like the regen and pretty much drive with one pedal but in the winter I think it would be a good idea to...

Hey everyone, Merry Xmas, Happy New Year and hope everyone is safe and healthy. I know the radar detector 12v Switched power topic is all over the forums but a lot of them have older dates our Model 3s have been updated both from software and slight hardware changes. I have a 2020 Model 3 LR...

For like 8 months I used that 120V cord that came with my Model 3 and paid 35 bucks for the 14-50 adapter so I could charge at 240v and it was rock solid. I think I was getting like 30-35 miles an hour charge speed and was very happy. They offer tons of different adapters and it just replaced...

The HomeCharging email support never got back with me. I ended up calling the support line, I'll have to re-post the number and they found that the firmware never fully installed. They attempted to push the new firmware after about 3 hours and it successfully installed but still overheated...

Was getting the full 48a for the first three months. Now I am having problems and still waiting for "HomeCharging" support to get back to me. I've dialed back to 32a and it's making it though the night so far. Using 6 Gauge wire a 60amp Siemens circuit breaker. Does anyone know when they...

I saw some Gen 2 Chargers set up outside of a building once. They were creative about it and it looked like they buried a 6x6 post in the ground, mounted two chargers back to back and put a decorative hat/roof on the set up. The parking spot was like 20 feet or so away from the building so...

I just upgraded my 14-50 plug to a Gen3 wall connector and left the neutral wire coiled up neatly inside the new body of the charger. I followed the bottom entry mount and the new Gen3 leaves a good amount of space for what looks like this wire and has a perfect wire channel for the heavy...

I didn't see the wire for the HPWC's breaker in that pic. The wires in your box all looks pretty small, gauge that is. I just ran a 14-50 style plug on my home and plan to upgrade to a HPWC someday but the wire that I ran was thick as hell. I'm going to go check my breaker tonight when I'm...

I fell for the facebook add and tried F11 on my truck and now on my M3. Been pretty happy with both vehicles with the shine and the water beading off but now looking into TopCoat. The F11 seemed to last about 2 months before it would need the "touch" up product or wash and then would look...

I wouldn't mind the loss if they transferred the FSD credit to the new vehicle. I just don't have the performance set up. Love the car, but just not a car person. Thinking the Y would hit that sweet spot.

I just ran my Trade in last night toying with the idea to switch to a model Y. I picked it up in November for 56k, trade in at $42,700 if my image doesn't work. Is there anyway to negotiate, I've picked up quite a few accessories that would go with it and it's in perfect shape. But thinking...

Nice!!

Ouch,... insurance I would do the body shop, out of pocket would try PDR.. Sorry for the bad luck

Not to throw a wrench out there but no one discussed charging. Depending on how far you drive daily you'll most likely want to charge at home. I drive about 150 miles a day and I installed just the basic 14-50 (RV Outlet) at my house and I'm charging and gaining about 30 miles an hour as I'm...
