Gotcha, good to know. Will be more aware going forward

I have FUSC and I parked at a Tesla charger with both Supercharger and Destination chargers. I used the destination charger because I was having lunch and didn't want to need to leave in the middle of lunch to unplug my car. When I got back, I saw that I was charged for the destination...

People were onsite working this afternoon. Bases looks like they are installed.

So I found a location that works on my 2017 Model S with the help of a fastrak employee. TLDR - it's the lower right side of the front windshield (passenger side). It's worked ever since I put it there (worked = not charged when set to 3). Using the express lane on 680 (both North & South)...

Just wanted to circle back - my problem was solved after my 12V battery was replaced. Annoying because I think the 12V was low for a good 6 months before I got the alert that it needed to be replaced. Tech said that the humming is the car keeping the systems running because the 12V battery is low.

Yes, it's likely because the 12V battery was low (even though I didn't get an alert for a long time). I finally got a alert that my 12V battery needed to be replaced at the end of last year (2023). The tech said that the humming was the car keeping the systems running because the 12V battery...

Fences were gone when I drove by today. Didn’t get a good look cause it was dark though

Thanks for the suggestions. I don’t have sentry mode active, don’t have summon on my car, don’t have cabin overhead protection on, and no third party apps installed. I think my alarm is because it’s unusual - has never drained that fast before. I’m okay and expected a certain amount of...

2017 90d that had really fast battery drain today. 39% to 33% while parked in garage for 6 hrs. Then 27% to 22% while parked outside at around 75 degrees. Any ideas what would be causing this?

I've been noticing a few issues with my Model S 90D for the past few weeks. Wondering what/if there is a fix for them: When I open/close the trunk there is a loud squeaking sound coming from the passenger side power hatch lift support bar. Is this something that I can fix with WD-40 or some...

I notice the humming after I get home and park it - I check on it a few hours later and after it's ben parked overnight and the humming is still there. In terms of % charge, It ranges. I've charged it at home at a L2 charger to 50-60%. I've charged it at a supercharger up to 70-90%. In...

The cupholders in the armrests are too big for regular drink cups, so I'm looking for some silicone inserts to help the drinks stay in place/snug. The model Y/3 and refreshed 2021/22 Model S/X have many inserts that work for those cupholders, but I haven't been able to find any for the...

Aside from the Tesla mobile app, I don't have any 3rd party apps logged into my vehicle.

Just bought a used 2017 90D a few weeks ago and have been experiencing this constant humming + 1mi/hr vampire while parked in garage. Sentry mode is turned off. Seems like one possibility is a low 12V battery, but I don't have any alerts to replace it. Is there a way to test if the voltage on...
