    Battery - Pandemic / Garage

    During these miserable times due to the pandemic, my car sits in the garage for 4-5 days a week. It seems to loose 15 - 20 miles of charge during this "hibernation". Is there a way to decrease this?

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    Approximately how long was your car in the Service Center? Mine went in Friday, 8/7 an not a word from them since.

    Got A Ticket From Chp For Not Having Hov Stickers

    I hated the way they looked on my car, so when there would be an occasion for me to need the Commute Lane (once every two months) I would scotch tape those awful looking stickers on my car before I would leave the house. When I got home, off they came. :)

    Software Update 2018.39.5 a1c2332 (first 9.0 release)

    V9. Navigation Map is constantly on and can only get Media window to cover 3/4 of the screen. I find the Navigation Map always there and moving to be a distraction. Is there a way to remove the Map when not needed?

    Bumper repair in SF Bay Area?

    I had this experience in February of this year. I went to Chilton Auto Body (Tesla endorsed) 3242 De La Cruz, Santa Clara. It took 3.5 days, cost - a little over 2 grand (they replace everything) the responsible party paid for it. I learned more about auto body work than I needed to know: Tesla...

    Poking at the new 8.0 screen

    I would like to see the screen icons all of the time, why wasn't that made an option in 8.0? Tapping the screen several times to find it at 70 MPH doesn't cut it with me. While I am on a rant why does 8.0 end all of the songs 30 - 40 seconds before the end, wasn't this Rev tested??

    Firmware 8.0

    I don't like the fact that the Icon Tool Bar disappears from the screen, this might be nice for some owners and not for others.I would like to see an option where the Toolbar could be locked in place for those who use it quite often. When I back out of the garage, which I do several times a day...

    Tesla employee hogging supercharger in new Reno SC

    With regard to SC etiquette I had occasion to visit several SC stations on a trip to LA (370 miles away) this weekend. I needed to visit several SC's along the way, one was in a restaurant parking lot another two were in shopping centers. They were full when I pulled in, while waiting I talked...

    Help NEMA 10-30R

    Thanks for the pictures, it made everything clearer. I wonder why Tesla stopped supplying the Adapters like the ones for dryer outlets. When you are visiting someone they would be quite handy for a Tesla charge. I had to use a regular wall socket the last time I visited my sister and her...

    Help or instructions needed

    Thanks for the reply. I wanted the Model 3 but couldn't wait another year for a Tesla that's why I got the Model S in March. I do not envy your wait but I do envy your Model. Hang in There :)
