    Be considerate on test drives

    It's frustrating to be stuck there just waiting but I can see the other side of that as well. I actually think Tesla should allow 60 minutes between test drives. It's not like they're booked solid. 45 minutes for the drive and 5-10 to give the interior touch surfaces a quick sanitation wipe...

    Trunk status "CLOSURE_REQUEST_MOVE"

    As a data point for @Massive Attack , my retrofit trunk still works after the holiday update (2023.44.30).

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    Just as another data point, I had the 12v battery on my 20 LR replaced by mobile service before my latest road trip. $121 all-in and FWIW the tech's opinion was that it's a good move. He also mentioned that Tesla would move to all 16v low voltage batteries soon. They are apparently more...

    passenger seat cover suggestions wanted for when dog is in car

    I use this one: Amazon.com It's easy to put on and take off, and has saved my seat from endless scratches and an unfortunate bout of doggy car sickness so far!

    What Percent is Your Tesla Charged to While at Home?

    Routinely down to <30% then up to 80% on level 1 every couple of weeks as a low mileage driver. Since I started doing that, the BMS perceived battery degradation - and it really is only "perceived" - has improved immensely. I do a couple of road trips a year, 1200 to 3000 miles each, and...

    Vehicle Range

    For your own sanity, you accept that the range is just an estimate - just like every other car regardless of propulsion - and don't worry about it.

    Wheel repair?

    Here in Chicagoland I just had both of my nearside rims repaired via my Tesla SC. I just scheduled it as "something else" through the app, arrived at 8am and was out by 9:30 at a cost of $100 per wheel. They contact the work out to somebody of course, but it was dead handy having it all done...

    AC system driving me insane

    Intrigued, I just tried this in my 2020 M3 running 2022.16.3. If HVAC is completely off, it stays off regardless of profile. The set temperature changes with the profile but it stays off, with no air blowing. If HVAC is on, every setting - including manual settings and the AC state - is...

    Disappointed with Jeda

    FWIW, I had similar experience in July 2021. Waited months for a USB hub and wireless charging pad, chasing weekly but getting nothing from customer support. In the end I was going to reverse the charge, told them so, and the items arrived a few days later. The hub was wrong, with a USB C...

    Still hate v11

    The funny thing is that I dislike it more now, even with the tiny tweaks, than I did when it first came out. It doesn't even follow the standard "blue is on, gray is off" and I still end up turning automatic heated seats off and on again nearly every trip because, you know, gray means on in...

    How to turn on front heated seats from tablet after the software update?

    Hmmm. Like the first respondent, I read "tablet" as "MCU" since that hasn't changed in the app 🤔

    Wipers in the snow

    Hitting the windshield defrost once on mine turns the icon blue and blows whatever temperature it was blowing before I hit it, just directed at the windshield. Hitting it again turns the icon red and sets the heat to high. But that's always been the case for me - not a new feature 🤔

    Super cold out -> climate keeper question

    The interior warns up surprisingly quickly. For stops like that I just schedule the departure time - which is per location - or try to remember to start climate about 15 minutes before I leave. The caveat there is that it hasn't YET been that cold here since I've owned the car, but I reckon it...

    Tesla Update 2021.44.25.2 Issues

    "me too" for; Really missing the swipeable cards which weren't cluttering anything at all. Seriously missing one touch defrost! Hating that the homelink shortcut (at the TOP of the screen) summons the full page Controls screen. It would be nice if the camera on turn signal could be moved to the...

    Autopark Vision experiences

    [...] You're onto something here. I took my car out for a nice early morning drive today, beautiful sunshine and nearly empty roads. I always use autosteer and TACC until I get to the interesting roads but that part of the well-trodden journey was full of random, though thankfully gentle...
