I had the same problem with over-aggressive beeping in a new Model Y when entering/leaving our garage, or getting near shrubbery. I never associated them with "parking", like pulling into a marked place in a lot or on the street, but, sure enough, silencing the Park Assist Chimes solved the...

Try this [full explanation follows]: 1) After making sure all fobs have good batteries, leave a fob in the center console and exit the car for 15 minutes. (Obviously, this make your Tesla easier to steal, so do it prudently). 2) Get back in the car. I found a "FOB not in car" message, which...

I saw this message, changed the battery in my fob, but the message persisted. I checked the battery in my wife's fob, and it was down to 80%, so I changed it. The message persisted. I popped and restored both batteries in the car. The message persisted. Both batteries test 100% (on a tester that...

When I was in for door-latch service, I mentioned that easy entry didn't seem to be working. The service person told me that easy entry is associated with a fob. He did something to make it work with the fob I always use. It sounds like using a different fob will not work with easy entry. If...

The Model X I bought back in 7/2016 just had its latches replaced. Part number 1446159-00-C. Driver's side door sometimes refused to close, which was not good, until I determined I could get the door to latch by opening it from the inside, then quickly closing it. Parts were not in stock when I...

I don't find the requirements ridiculous or particularly objectionable. I'm always coming up on pedestrians in parking lots who don't hear me coming, so they don't move out of the way. I'm unwilling to honk my horn. To me, that would be much more objectionable than a gentle beep. Here's my...

We just visited Hagerstown, MD, on the way back from Morgantown, WV. I was hoping to get all the way to NJ with that single stop, but after I plugged into one charger, I set navigate to get us home, and I got an alert that charging had been interrupted, check the connection. Instead, I moved to...

Is it my imagination, or has model X regenerative braking gotten less aggressive after recent updates? Used to be, if let up on the accelerator, the car would slow down. Now it seems to coast, unless I'm already at low speed. Perhaps this suit explains it.

I was at a very crowded Trader Joe's with a very tiny parking lot, and noticed someone was hovering to take the spot I was about to abandon. When I went to hit "Close All", I got a message like "Screen not responding, hold both scroll buttons to reset". So I did, and it seemed like it was taking...

The transformer seems like a pretty critical component:rolleyes:. We're going to go to Morgantown for Thanksgiving. I'm hoping the supercharger will be operational by then. Using the level 2 charger in the Farmer's market is just too stressful. If it's operational, we should be able to get there...

There seems to be a human being at the receiving end of [email protected]

An update from my son-in-law, who lives in Morgantown. He spoke to a couple contractors who were there. They were "sworn to silence" about the schedule. He guessed the six white posts in the background correspond to six supercharger stations, which would agree with the schematic that @jbumps...

@jbumps: If there will be a supercharger in Morgantown (which is not huge), what would be the point of a destination charger at the Farmer's Market? It would have been very welcome before the announcement of the supercharger, but I cannot imagine why I would charge at a destination charger when...

The Morgantown Parking Authority, PARKING INFO - Morgantown Parking Authority (304) 284-7435, has been delightfully accommodating when we have visited our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson in Morgantown. There's a single (level 2?) charger in the Farmer's Market, which is nominally permit...

Thanks, @gabeincal. I've gotten wiser (there was lots of room) about what to bring on a trip (including the cable I thought of as a simple connector to my 240V wall plug). My most recent problem has been the lack of fast-ish chargers in Morgantown, WV. And supercharge.info makes it look like...
