I had the same experience today. It did work yesterday but it was completely dead today. :( Battery was full with 5 of 5 LEDs showing green lights. It took me a while to figure it out, but eventually, I was able to identify the "problem". When you unpack the car for the first time, there is a...

Same here. No meat in this article.

I think you are missing something, too. To use the key fob, you have to steal it. To use the mobile phone app, you simply download it on your own mobile phone. No need to steal and unlock the Tesla owner's phone. However, then you still have to overcome the digital security barrier, which may...

Exactly, I can confirm this for my car (European). Actually I'd love to have two reversing lights because that single light is pretty dim and doesn't help much when reversing in a dark driveway. The new Mercedes S has a cool feature in this regard: A bright strip of LED lights down low on the...

Around the same time, TMC will be DoS, merely due to this thread... :wink:

The alarm never goes off while the car is unlocked. Alarm only engages one minute after the car has been locked (regardless whether it's manual or walk-away door lock).

Agreed, except for the specific number. There were 4 Supercharger sites in Germany last quarter, doubling that number means another four in Q1 and then eight more in Q2. That's still way more than we can see until now (which is zero).

Huh?!

Regarding 3G interference: It seems to be particularly bad when the cell phone is placed below the 17" screen. By putting it elsewhere -- e.g., in your pants or in the cup holders or even in the center space but next to the arm rests rather than in or under the cubby -- you may be able to...

No worries. Other car manufacturers will have to buy licenses to let their customers use Tesla's infrastructure. Those licenses won't come cheap and will pay for our electricity, too. :-D (Pure speculation, of course.)

Yep.

Or they will bleed $$$ to license supercharger usage from Tesla. Time to stock more stock! :-)

Estonia seems to be a safe haven, if not heaven, for EVs. The challenge is to make it there... 2000 km give or take. In any event, I could take a ferry straight across the Baltic sea, but I certainly prefer to drive. If only to remember the good ol' days.

Germany - Poland - Lithuania - Latvia - Estonia, has anyone done this trip with Model S? Any Model S owners willing to share their plugs along that route? I've done the trip a few times but a) it's been a few years ago and b) only with ICE cars.

True, my fault.
