    2022.8.10.6 Tesla MX

    I’m seeing similar issues with . Also seeing the volume scroll wheel doesn’t work again. This almost seems temperature dependent. 2013 MS 40

    Brake Calipers Locking Up During Overnight Parking

    I had a right rear rattle in my 2013 S. It turns out the parking brake pad had broken in half and the broken part was bouncing around causing the rattle. So this can be an issue that causes problems. It cost me $$ to replace the parking brake pads

    Installing a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller in a Model X

    There was also an old request for someone to confirm the 12V at the pigtail I'd like to know if 12V is available at the trailer connector and if so does anyone know how much current it can carry? We have a fridge in our pop-up and I can currently run it from the tow vehicle while driving. Is...

    Installing a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller in a Model X

    Can anybody comment on the brightness of the P2 vs. the P3? We have a P2 in our current tow vehicle (it stays connected all the time) and the bright blue LED light bothers my wife so she put a couple of layers of painters tape over it. Is the P3 just as bright?

    Something Fishy...

    So what else can be done about this scammer? I looked on the Edmunds site and this site and the email address used has come up before. They suggested reporting the site to Google (easy, so I did that), the IC3 and FTC (not so easy, so I didn't do that).

    Something Fishy...

    It looks like someone using the email [email protected] has setup a very flashy fake Edmunds site that is using the Edmunds brand to fool marks into thinking they are using a trusted intermediary to buy a car...

    Something Fishy...

    So I'm emailing a person who claims to be the owner. Other than the red flags listed here, the email service is an encrypted one: tutanota.com. I'll see what I can find out.

    Homelink auto close reliable for you?

    I don't have auto open or close turned on. With the most recent software update (2017.40.1) homelink doesn't work at all unless I reboot. After a reboot it works, but at some point in the future it does not work and requires another reboot. I don't know if it stops working when the car goes...

    Charging Etiquette - Be Kind to those Towing

    Wow. That's quite a hit. I have a 2600 lb (dry weight) pop up camper that I currently tow with a minivan. I have been wondering what sort of range I would get towing it with an X. From your experience it seems like I might not even make it from one SC to another. Especially if I put bikes...

    My open letter to the Chevy Bolt, from a Tesla fan.

    If they actually had an outstanding product they would be supporting their EVs with DC fast charging insfrastructure and they wouldn't be using dealer franchise laws to impede competitors from selling direct to consumers. For those two reasons I will never consider a Chevy product.

    Drive X to work or leave it at home?

    If it was me I would just drive it. If you are worried about vandalism or your employers thinking they are paying you too much, then that is something you have to decide for yourself. I found that not many people noticed my gray Model S in the parking lot. That may not be the case with the X...

    Next Gen Seats - DIY Retrofit

    I support hacking for good! I would like to think Tesla is not being punitive in not upgrading seats; just trying to wisely use their limited resources. If they opened the floodgates to this type of upgrade, their service centers would be slammed with seat upgrades, parking sensor upgrades...

    Current owners of 40 kWh configuration

    I have been thinking about this myself, as an S40 owner. I would think at some point Tesla might want to cash in on some of this hardware they have been letting us possess but not use. It would be fair to prorate some of the cost since the resale value of an upgrade does not justify the...

    I have a ghost in my garage.

    That minion looks guilty. I'd see what he knows. I think Kensiko has the right idea though. Call Tesla and see if they can pull up the logs from the time in question.

    Consumer Reports recommends Tesla disable Autosteer and make changes to AutoPilot

    I saw it on Yahoo News here: Consumer Reports says Tesla should drop Autopilot name I also commented: What does CR think an autopilot should do? This is the definition I found on wikipedia as quoted from a chapter of an FAA manual entitled "Automated Flight Controls": An autopilot is a...
