When I bought the connector several years ago it came with a recommendation to dial the charging limit down to 25 amperes. Just couldn't remember why.

I have a 2016 Model X with 72 Amp charger. I recently stopped at a hotel that had a NEMA 14-50 plug available to charging. I have a Generation One Tesla Mobile Connector and a Generation One NEMA 14-50 adapter. What charge current should I have set on the charging screen in the car?

I called the service department in Peabody and told them about the improperly functioning Tesla app. They kindly checked my service record there, made some changes and thereafter the app started working perfectly.

I am trying to schedule an appointment for car repair. However, the only repair facility that is available on my app is a service center in North Carolina. I would like to choose the repair facility in Peabody, MA. Do you know the settings to make the Tesla App work properly?

I realize that these complaints are valid complaints. However I believe the picture that they paint about Tesla in general is not valid. Most Tesla owners experience excellent service at the Tesla service centers and with Mobile service. That certainly has been my experience.

Same here. Have driven only in chill mode at medium height. Wheels aligned last year. My 275/45R-20 Continental Contisilent XL rear tires have only lasted 16,000 miles. Am looking for suggestions for long lasting tires.

Oh my god, no. Germany has access to so many highly skilled German engineers. Not saying German engineers are better, just mean to say that there more of them in Germany. Also Germany has a highly skilled, experienced workforce dealing with export issues.

I agree that Tesla bends over backwards to help when it can. I have had them drive 120 miles to my house, bring me a loaner, repair my car and later bring it back. One must consider however, that with so many cars on the road now, glitches will occur. Several months ago, I had a flat at...

One month ago a message appeared in my Model X that stated: 12V Battery Needs Service. Replace 12V battery soon. New England Tesla Mobile Service notified me that these 12V batteries are on back order. Tesla Service in Dedham, MA informed me that they do not have these batteries either. Does...

Can you tell me where you had bought the lowering links and where they were installed? I did take the car back to Tesla and they told me the alignment is fine. I have also heard that the camber on the back wheels cannot be adjusted on a Performance Model X. Only the toe in - toe out can be...

Right. Dealers don't know much about maintaining EVs. If they do, they know that it costs much less to maintain EVs and therefore they will have much less income from Evs over the years. Also, there a number of adjustments that EV drivers make. Learning about all of the aspects of an EV takes...

Thank you very much for these very helpful links.

Hmm, I had the camber checked while the car was in low. Are you saying the camber in the back cannot be adjusted to allow my tires to last longer than 16,000 miles?

On 3-23-2018, at 29,837 miles, I purchased new rear tires from Tesla. The purchased tires were 275/45 R20 110V A/S Continental CrossContact LX Sport tires. The purchased tires were installed at a Tesla Repair facility and a 4 wheel alignment was performed at that time. Last week, at 46,326...
