I noticed it’s showing up as available in my car now. Anybody used it? Wish they’d put this on that 69/96 corridor west of town, but glad to have a new, faster charger in the area.

Having this problem with a growing list of songs. It seems like it’s maybe songs that didn’t load properly once and then can never play again. I’ve done hard resets, logged out of my Spotify, etc. Can’t get anything to work. Doesn’t matter if I select from a search, use voice command, a...

Experiencing the same issue, sometimes when stopped so I don’t think it’s just bumpy roads fo me.

White noise

My excitement may have been premature... I went looking for more info on the charge level and, based on the specs in the ChargePoint contract presented to city council, this looks to me like a level 2 charger? But someone smarter than me should confirm. See page 80 of this PDF...

Slightly off-topic and maybe old news to folks. But I can finally plan my Porcupine Mountains trip! Small U.P. city hopes electric vehicle charging station will attract new visitors

Yes, it is still there in my Y (took delivery last week). It is much subtler than the reverse noise and is just white noise as has been described on here. I only notice it because I roll the windows down and listen for oncoming traffic when I pull out of my garage into the alley.

Your comment that this forum overrepresents negative experiences is key. I am not minimizing people's frustrating experiences on here, most of which are legitimate and unacceptable. But I suspect they are not representative--and I know they are not representative of my own experiences. In fact...

Article from Electrek: Tesla leaked software points to new range increase for Model Y - Electrek Are there any tells to figure out if your car has a bigger battery pack?

Tesla shared that prototype of an automated charging connector several years ago. But I would submit that the automated connector is far more terrifying than anything you may encounter in your travels:

Anyone seen if this will be limited to MCU2? My guess is yes, but I'm crossing my fingers.

I have a MX 100D and I make the drive from Chicago to Ann Arbor all the time, and to the Detroit suburbs from time to time. Super easy. There are Superchargers in Ann Arbor, Marshall, and St. Joseph--all with places to eat. When it's warm, I could probably make the drive without stopping, but...

This article describes the location of the dead zone: 2. KEY FOB “DEAD ZONE” If you need to leave your key fob in the vehicle without worrying about the car being unlocked and possibly stolen, place it on the floor of the cargo area next to the left rear wheel well. That is a “dead zone” where...

Another word of warning: don't leave your key fob and your phone together in the car. Apparently, the phone can mess with the signal from the fob and cause a lockout. I found myself locked out of my car with both the phone and the key fob sitting in the center console. I can only assume it...

My customer service experiences have been pretty darn bad. But fortunately my X has required very little service, and the bad service experiences are so outweighed by how much I love driving the car. My lease is up in a year and it's hard to imagine getting anything other than another Tesla.
