Bad time of year to ask for examples, but I’ll ask anyways. Gotta be some southern climate owners here. What drain rate are you seeing when you have the overheat protection on? With hot muggy summers in MI, and car interiors reaching 140+, trying to keep my cabin at something like 80 seems...

Good info. Thanks. When you say ‘new security system’, I assume you’re talking about Sentry mode? Is there something else I don’t have yet? (Pending an update)

No. You’ll be fine. Pre-conditioning the battery is just using high amounts of energy to warm it up a bit. It won’t effect the car or battery unless you do it daily.

Hi all, Several of us up in the Great Lakes region were discussing cabin overheat stuff and someone suggested that it’s main purpose is to keep the computer from overheating during the summer. So, my question is: Has anyone who DOESN’T use cabin overheat and has subjected their...

They do this in the Michigan, (thanks Big 3). Any vehicle that doesn’t use gas is charged a $100 EV fee and a $35 administration fee. The state claims the fee is to offset the gas tax not collected by EV drivers. Okay, I’ll give them that. I’m okay with paying my fair share. But if you’ve been...

Having a way to review video in the car would be awesome. I still think the new notification is annoying. Based on my experience over the last 2.5 days, I'm going to come out to a car with Sentry notifications every time I get in my car. So, I'll get so used to seeing it and I won't even think...

It was. I got the 12.1 update 48hrs ago and just got the 12.1.1 update about 30 minutes ago.

I’d buy that. But that now means I come out to a car that has several ‘incidents’ every time I leave it. I walked in front of it, left to right, and it left a notification. Which leads me to believe that every time someone walks past my car to get to theirs down the isle, I’m going to have a...

That’s a good idea. Wonder if it will ever be the way.

UPDATE: I was trying to figure out the Sentry mode no footage thing in my driveway and I just got this notice. I’ll update in a few.

Figure this out though: Since the update, I get these notices when I get in notifying me I’ve had X number of ‘Sentry Incidents’. The first time I saw it, I was upset that my car hadn’t text me cause I was under the impression it was a severe event. I’d never gotten this message before so...it...

@SMAlset No problem. I do it simply because I appreciate when others do it on updates I haven’t got. It’s kinda like getting closure on what’s coming. The install weird. It made noises and bumps I’ve never heard car make. But, this is only my second update I’ve witnessed so..... @MarcG I was...

Stopped at the Supercharger, and although not really a ‘dead’ battery, it’s was better. I got up to 138kw, 500 miles/hour, and that’s with 30% battery remaining. I don’t think I would’ve got that 2 weeks ago. And, you can hear the battery pre-conditioning kick in IMO. We were on the expressway...

For me, I’m not using any energy if I can crack my windows. I’m not 100% sure how fan only overheat protection works. But if the fan comes on for 5-10 minutes every 30-45 minutes, over 8-10hrs I assume I’m losing a measurable amount of juice. Having said that, I’m used to just opening the app...

I’ve asked Elon in Twitter for a ‘window button’ on the app. Push the button once, windows roll down 2”. Push it again and they roll down halfway. A third push and they go back up. Same principle as any other remote command. I too would like this feature over having to let the fan come on every...
