    Finding lost key fob with detector?

    I recently lost my key fob as well. It didn’t show up for a week, so I got creative. I loaded my clothing basket with clothes, and walked it by the car. On my 3rd trip, the doors opened; found in zipped pocket of cargo shorts!

    I've loved Tesla for 7 years. But after years of abuse, I'm out

    I would have to agree. Here in NJ, the Tesla service has been great (since purchase date 2 years ago). I've had more service issues than most, but they went above and beyond with me. They spent time with me driving around with me to find source of strange squeaks/sounds (caliper cover)...

    Hard Drive Issues with Dashcam (X Icon)

    Clarification: I was referring to creating partitions > 32GB for FAT32. NTFS formatting is no problem at all! Try creating your own USB that supports partitions for music and a separate one for TeslaCam, and you'll understand what I'm referring to...

    Hard Drive Issues with Dashcam (X Icon)

    Windows formatting is quite cumbersome, even if you're technical, particularly if you want both music and TeslaCam storage on a single drive. If so, it is just easier to purchase one on ebay.

    Help improve Tesla interface - ideas, feature requests, bug reports

    1) Your "tags" on issues should be links (clickable), that take you to all of the issues for that tag. For instance, I want to add an issue, but want to check if it has already been reported on, so as to not duplicate it if it already exists. I see that a particular issue has...

    Sentry Mode - Right camera not recording?

    It has been 2-1/2 months since last post, and I currently have right_repeater frequently showing 0 bytes (24 out of 40 are 0 bytes). Front and left_repeater never have 0-byte files.

    [V9] How to Format USB into 2 Partitions for DashCam and Music [Windows]

    I couldn't deal with all of this technical hoop-jumping. I did find a "Tesla Enabled" flash drive on eBay that is pre-formatted to work with Teslas, so going to try that for now.

    REQUEST TO TESLA: CONTINUE USB MUSIC PLAYBACK ON CAR RESTART

    I finally got this whole music/TeslaCam issue all worked out this week (bought a properly formatted "Tesla enabled" flash drive on ebay), and immediately noticed the problem you mention. I was worried I had touchscreen offset issue, so glad to see that it is happening to others (no disrespect)...

    Car Wash Recommendation

    I don't think you read my complete post. I DID let the rain dry, and it DID result in a SPOTLESS shine! Of course, if you live in an area with substantial atmospheric contaminants (perhaps Gary, Indiana?) that you may have a different result. For reference, I completed my "scientific...

    Car Wash Recommendation

    No, that was definitely not my hypothesis. My hypothesis was that washing in the rain might keep me from having spend time/effort drying to get a spot-free car, and I think I proved it correct.

    Car Wash Recommendation

    I was hesitant to take my new Tesla (blue metallic paint) to a car wash, but finally broke down after a few months of hand washing. The manager ensured me that their automated wash wouldn't scratch the finish, and that they use clean dry-rags on each car. I'm sure you can guess the outcome...

    21" Arachnids coming soon

    I just received my new Arachnid's yesterday. Since I got to use the Tesla Mobile Service, I was able to weigh the old and new tires/rims myself: Original tires/rims: 19" rims, Goodyear Eagle Touring M+S 245/45R19 98W, (55.2 lbs ea * 4 = 220.8 lbs total) New tires/rims: 21" rims, Michelin...
