    Intermittent Charging with Mobile Connector Fixed

    Make sure that your 14-50 receptacle is oriented so that the mobile connector cable is pointing down. This will almost eliminate the strain on the connector. Also make sure you you use a good quality 14-50 receptacle (virtually anything but Leviton).

    I have a 2018 LR rwd Model 3. when I first got the car, hitting the manual release opened the door, but the window did not drop, leaving a little ding in the metal trim. Sometime in the last four years the window began going down in the same way it does with the normal door release. Another...

    Dark turn signal camera images

    It's been my impression that the the turn signal display in the lower left corner of the screen is virtually useless. First, it's really out of practcal vision range from a safety point of view. It really should be up just under the speed display. Second, it's almost always too dark. Third...

    Could auto-open frunk struts possibly cause damage to the locking mechanism?

    I finally got the answer - from Tesla. I scheduled a service visit at the ft Lauderdale, FL center. They seemed to be totally swamped. It was handled very professionally. The put me in an UBER and sent me to Enterprise Rent A Car. I got a Chevy Equinox for 4 days (no cost to me). VERY NICE...

    VCFRONT_a552

    Just got this fault soon after a firmware upgrade to 2022.4.5 on my 2018 M3 EAP LR RWD. Everything seems to be working otherwise. Any ideas?
