Weird that it's not in the manual, but yes MX and MY have 12v outlets in the trunk already, but unfortunately not M3 and MS.

The thing to be careful of is the total draw on this circuit. Since this is tapped off the existing 12v outlet that's in the center console, it's bound by the same meager limit of 12A (or 144 watts). Quick googling leads me to believe that the G30 charges around 2A @ 120V, which would put you...

Heads up for anyone in the area, it sounds like a number of stalls are out of service here due to vandalism :( Supercharger Vandalism Lynnfield MA This used to be my primary charger before I got home charging and it's always a busy SC, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Sorry to hear that didn't fix it for you, :( but hopefully it ends up being a quick turnaround for you once it gets to Tesla!

As others mentioned, I would try a full shutdown. It's safe to do, you don't actually touch any high voltage stuff, that connector under the rear seat is actually a low voltage component that just supplies the HV contactors. I did it a few times while installing my trunk 12v, the only tool...

The back of the touchscreen being warm isn't related to the MCU processor. The MCU lives in the dash behind the glovebox and is liquid cooled as part of the rest of the vehicle's component cooling loop.

As far as I know, the "75D" identifier only ever applied to Model S. A 2022 M3LR should be an 82kWh gross pack and I'd probably chalk this up to a weird identifier in whatever system your insurance company is using for VIN lookups.

No, there's no need. Overheat protection is to protect against a situation where child or pet is forgotten in the car, not to protect the car itself.

Given that you do have L2 charging access 2x a week on an otherwise short commute, you'll be fine. Having 2 superchargers nearby is an extra plus for a boost when needed if you do a lot more driving than normal. You'll get used to a different type of EV ownership than the folks on here who swear...

It should be a 250kW v3, I'm fairly sure Tesla isn't installing any v2 stations anymore (at least not in NA).

This would make basic autopilot so ridiculously annoying. Today changing lanes on basic AP is a matter of signal, lane change, re-engage without thinking about a speed change. This also tracks with many other automakers' lane-keep and TACC systems. TACC deactivation should be an intentional...

Does this work that the off-peak starts up again at 12:01am on Monday morning? I signed up for this program a few weeks ago and I've been otherwise trying to push off my post-weekend charging until Monday evening.

Since it's still "Coming Soon" on the Tesla site, the pin will just be in a generic location in the town. Once the location actually opens, the pin will move to the correct spot.

As previously mentioned, the service manuals are public now so I'm not sure why your mechanic wouldn't do the work. That being said, it looks like you have your location listed as New Hampshire so Electrified Garage could be an option for you: Electrified Garage Tesla Service Center.

Thanks! I'd considered this but was hesitant to tap the 12v battery directly after reading Ingineerix's warning here: . I totally get not wanting to splice an existing wire though under warranty, I was willing to accept the risk here since the amount of things that I could have "broken" with...
