I have the same problem. I can set either the touchscreen or the app or both to a "scheduled" on the touchscreen or "charge" on the app time and a few minutes or hours later, it reverts back to "Scheduled Departure" on the touchscreen and "Departure" on the app. This seems the same as 125mph...

Thanks, guys, for the videos. I showed them to my wife, and she was impressed. I won't go around looking for flooded areas to drive through, but it is nice to know that if I ever have to do it, it would probably work out OK. I would think that an EV should be more suited to driving through deep...

My wife is wondering if we made a mistake in buying a Tesla. We get some heavy rainstorms here and have to drive through standing water a foot or so deep. She is concerned that since it is an electric car, something (possibly the battery or motors) might short out. What precautions does Tesla...

You guys are great detectives, and I really appreciate your efforts to figure this out. However, this discussion should NOT be necessary. Tesla should explain this in the user's manual -- not just drop a few hints which and be interpreted in different ways. The explanation should begin with a...

The manual does fairly well at explaining what the icons mean, but there are missing pieces. I would like a comprehensive decoder document that I could use for reference. Does anyone know where I can find one? Case in point: Today I was looking at the map display of supercharger locations and...

Update: I just had a visit from the Tesla Service Truck. The mechanic could not get it back on either. He had to modify the clips to get it on. It isn't an ideal solution, but it is holding for now. I asked him to support my request to have Tesla review the design of the panel, and he...

Thanks for the post. I also tried both tricks and still could not make it work. Still too much flexibility in the trunk back. Maybe my panel is distorted. Anyway, the service truck is coming in about a week.

That is a good tip. Unfortunately it only shows notifications from 2 days ago to now, which is about the time I updated the software. It could be useful, though, when the error happens again.

Thank you! I will let them know. I can be accurate to within a few minutes.

I have an intermittent error that has shown up on my display a few times, but I am a newbie and afraid to take my eyes off the road long enough to read the message – much less write it down or take a picture of it. The message is in small print and it has something to do with a camera on the...

OK, i tried it again -- same result. The top-rear of that trunk bucket is just too flexible. The 4 clips in the center-front of the maintenance panel won't attach. The others are easy, but leaving it this way is unacceptable to me. Fortunately, I haven't broken anything -- yet. I will...

Thanks! That is the kind of response I was hoping for. I actually tried what you are suggesting without success, but you have inspired me to try it again. I will do that later today and re-post. i am a newbie. Who is RPM?

Unattached fasteners lead to rattles and wear points. Also on p. 179 Tesla warns us: "Caution: The maintenance panel protects the front trunk from water. When reattaching, make sure it is fully seated."

Thanks for your input. Actually, I tried marking the fasteners. I used small Avery labels, which I could peel off later, but your silver dots look much better. It helped, but I still couldn't connect three fasteners at the front center of the panel. I could get the fasteners and the holes...
