    Battery life Model S 75D

    I think you have to allocate more than a "few miles" for the use of climate controls (heating and defogging).

    Model X Plaid - can I not open or close doors via the Tesla app?

    I think the driver's door will close when you are seated in the driver's seat and you depress the brake pedal. I'm not sure about any of the other doors.

    2023 Model 3SR 1000 mile review

    Just a thought concerning concerning the cruise control speed fluctuations, is it possible that the car is responding to changes in posted speed limits ? My 2018 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor does this, but I have Full Self Driving, and I'm honestly not sure if it would happen in a Tesla not so...

    New Model 3 keeps steering/pulling towards right

    Possibly a sticky brake caliper ? Uneven air pressure in the tires( which you can check yourself) ?

    Slow and stuttery after update

    I own a 2018 Model 3 Long Range on FSD Beta that is currently on 2023.7.20. I don't know if this is related to your observations, but if I set the energy graph to "consumption" and "30 miles", the watt hours per mile displayed is way too high, often in the 350-400 range. Fortunately ,there has...

    What knowledge do we have about best tires for range efficiency and low road noise?

    For my Tesla Model 3, I purchased the Pirelli PZero All Season Plus Elect to replace the all season OEM Continentals.I've driven about 6500 miles on them, and in general, I'd say they're slightly better than the Continentals in pretty much every way. Noise is subjectively slightly reduced, ride...

    HV Battery failure! 2014 S85 with 43,000 miles, single owner car

    You might want to try Electrified Garage (www.electrifiedgarage.com) 603-665-0020 as well. I believe both they and 057 Technology offer remanufactured packs ( Maybe Tesla does too?). Gruber Motor Company is fairly close to you, they're located in Arizona 623-433-8500, but I hear they currently...

    2022 MX yoke mystery button

    The owner's manual states that it is an "identifier that is always illuminated to indicate that the right scroll wheel can be used with cruise control".

    Why is the 12volt Battery Needed?

    @ Resist....There is an article on teslatap.com entitled "12 volt battery compendium" that might answer your question.

    anyone try the new pirelli ev tires?

    If you're referring to the Pirelli PZero All Season Elect, I had a set installed about a week ago. I have a 2018 Model 3 Dual Motor with 19 inch wheels and the Pirellis replaced the OEM Continental Tires (235/40R19). I've only driven about 90 miles on them, but I can give you my initial...

    Model 1 spotted

    Looks like a Chevrolet HHR with the Chevrolet badges removed and replaced with a Tesla badge.

    Any first hand experience with Tesla trade values with a low milage Tesla with extra purchased via the app?

    You are correct that Tesla will simply remove FSD , and probably acceleration boost as well, if you trade a vehicle in to them. I'm not sure why FSD would not transfer to a third party dealer...are you sure about that ?

    Where did tire pressure go? V11 Model 3

    MG Miller.....I believe the TPMS readings will not read out until you've driven a short distance ( 0.1-0.2 miles is usually enough). If you're checking the TPMS while the car is parked, you will see only dashes as you've described ( unless you just recently completed a drive, in which case the...
