So I may have an answer from Tesla Service Center appointment on Monday, but wanted to know if anyone had any experience with the following scenario/scary error messages: UMC_a017: Charge Rate Reduced - Wall Plug Temperature high BMS_a167: Unable to charge - Charge port door must be closed to...

For the record, and just to report on what's working, this happened to me yesterday (on restarting my car to go home from work). I tried the Power Off move from the screen and restarting very quickly. That didn't work. The double wheel press/brake press/Soft Reset also did not work. But the...

I just realized after 6 months of driving that I have a super squeaky PASSENGER side seat. Ironically, I only found it out when my Model 3 had a No Sound problem, after a few screen black-outs. Then I was driving in total silence for awhile, before I figured out how to restore the sound with a...

So for anyone on this thread/who had this problem, I JUST realized I have this on my PASSENGER side seat. Ironically, I only found it out when my Model 3 had a sound problem after a screen black-out and I was driving in silence for awhile before I figured out how to restore the sound with a...

EVs costing state millions, blamed for airport parking congestion Front page news report out now. Will be interesting to see how this goes. If it died this legislative session, when can it come up again? I'm assuming it will keep coming up again and again until SOME formulation of this bill...

Lol so what does that mean? Everything stays as is until they "un-defer" it or bring it back up for consideration?

Also got my license plates from Fed Ex on 2/14...Almost had a disaster because original registration address was my old address (moved mid-December) but Fed Ex called and was able to deliver to a Walgreens for me to pickup near me. I picked up on 12/30/18. Anyone have any trouble with...

Slightly unrelated but for the 3rd party wireless charger inserts that people buy, do people know if we need two charging firewire or USB-C cords or just one in order to make them work?

Grrr...I guess everyone was going to get narc-ed out eventually. Bummer about that! Just went ahead and bought this below, and hoping it'll be decent enough. Seems to have good reviews. Just like with our free airport/public parking: This is why we can't have nice things! :( No-Hole Tesla Model...

Bumping this thread because, as you can tell from my profile pic, I just got my new Tesla 3 in and (after a near shipping snafu where Fed Ex tried to deliver plates to my last address and I had to pick it up at Walgreens) finally received my EV plates a few days ago. But I really hate hate the...

So one more update, went to Maui for that 1 day trip and parking attendant also didn't blink an eye, just had me write on the ticket again. I'm off on a 10 day trip to Malaysia/SE Asia this time (1/28 - 2/7, writing from Langkawi Island now), and hoping it will happen again, but like everyone...

Just a quick update...I got back to the airport after my 1/2 - 1/8 HNL-LAX trip, curious if my paper plates would hold up getting out for free. Nice local lady/cashier recognized my Tesla 3 was EV and asked me to write my Name, Phone #, and License Plate. Since I didn't have one, and felt bad...

I could totally use that extra lightning cable if you got it still available! Just got my Model 3 and too many other friends have an iPhone also/haven't installed my wireless charger yet!

DANG IT! Just got The Millennium Tesla (My new white Model 3) and was in a rush to drive it to the airport tonight for the 6 night trip tonight right after work. Only paper plates, just picked it up 12/30. Not sure I want to chance it and come back to the $90 bill (That's how much it normally is...

42 y.o. single doctor in Hawaii, only ever owned a '99 beater Camry with 190K miles on it for which I had like state minimum liability with GEICO for about $600/year....Just donated that sucker to charity lol. A little bit of a speed demon, and have like 5 speeding tickets in 12 years here...
