Tesla wall connector is not DC

Can you elaborate on this comment? Unwind the whole cable when charging? I have mine coiled in a much bigger loop around the connector but I don't uncoil when charging as my car is quite close.

Elon just tweeted asking where should they put new superchargers. Scottsdale probably had the highest concentration of X and S, but now with the 3 that will change.

Reading the message clarified it for me.

I have this one...works pretty well, although a tiny bit large. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MSIIPM0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Tesla says my car has an intermittent issue with the front temp/humidity sensor located near the windshield. Said they can replace it and/or the cable in about 90 minutes. Offered to do it today if I brought it in, but I don't have time. Very good service.

I don't think it's a connection issue as my keep climate on menu from inside the car also does not work and that should not be dependent on connection issue.

Anyone had this error on the app along with Keep Climate On being grayed out?

As I recall, sentry mode uses about 200 watts, so it will consume close to one mile of range per hour of use. There's no phantom.

I have an R1200GS and model 3 too!

Please take before and after dB measurements. You can find a free phone app to take the measurements. Thanks! My results for the RPM wind strip is -2dB. I have door seals but haven't installed them. Other results: rear cargo mat, block rear deck baffle, front and rear sunshades, all...

Just went through similar situation. Your repairs are simple, both bumper and fender are bolt on and parts are readily available. If you're close to San Jose, I'd take it to the Tesla body shop, otherwise find a Tesla Certified shop (that's what I did). Have them order the parts before you...

Just went through this....your insurance will pay you the $30 day and seek subrogation from the other company for their expenses. You can then submit a bill to the other company for your extra out of pocket rental car expenses.

I've been driving with the stick on mirrors pictured several posts above. Fairly happy with them, although a euro style partial convex that utilizes the auto dimming function and is not blue would be ideal...I'd pay up for that.

You might be right. If we see a bunch of reports of dead 12v batteries, we'll know vampire is coming back :-)

Road noise is very dependent on pavement type/quality. Concrete quite a bit noisier than asphalt. Car audio is the best. Try another test drive.

Yes pictures would be helpful and also knowing which wheel. Thanks.

After you set the pressure, reset your TPM...chances are the TPM is still set for 42 or 45 psi unless you have reset it. I disagree with others here that 39 is 'so low'. I run 39 and feel that it's the ideal pressure. Plenty of similar weight vehicles are spec'd for air pressure in the 30s...

Thinsulate

Not all of their models use runflats, but yes a lot do. I believe the no patching policy existed prior to their use of runflats as well.

As I recall BMW has a policy to not patch any tire, so you're right, the dealer will soak you. Nice they did it for free. For future reference, Discount Tire will also patch for free.

Interesting. Is there room to put insulation behind that footwell panel?

I prefer carpet inside the car since I live in a dry climate, but the maxpider mats in the trunk and frunk are nice. Much nicer looking than rubber in my opinion.

check out the 3D maxpider...waterproof is better for trunk since rain can leak in if you open trunk with a lot of standing water on the trunk lid.

Read entire thread again and come back to us.

Radar doesn't work at right angles, so if he got you on radar he either shot you before you crossed the speed limit sign or after...did he say which?

There are numerous threads on the Tesla forums where people have lined their doors with dynamat or noico and it doesn't seem to make much difference in the noise.

Just installed these...so far really like them. Thanks for posting up a picture.

True, but the OP seemed to be using manual since his fan setting was very high for a long period of time. For me, I liked auto when it worked, but it is not functioning right now.

recirculate mode will save some energy once the interior has cooled below the external air temp. I also find that high fan speed is not always best for lkeeping the car cool. Yes, on startup to initially cool the car, but after that, lower the fan speed and the air will blow cooler.

You can often get Roadside assistance coverage through your insurance company for very little. Personally, I carry a plug kit and small compressor. Do you really want to have your car towed anyway when you can typically plug and fill it yourself?

Does any car come with lifetime roadside assistance?

Agree, there is some price gouging going on for sure. My repairs required nothing Tesla specific but hourly rates were double for everything. Although they did disconnect the HV battery at one point, so I can see that requiring a Tesla trained tech, but for sanding, painting, pounding out...

Ya, my Tesla certified shop said their rates are double for Tesla. Ameriprise covered it. What insurance company do you have?

I think you are misunderstanding the Tesla body shop situation. There are only 3 Tesla owned body shops: two in California and one in Chicago. These are full body shops. Some Tesla service centers are now starting to do minor repair to bolt on panels. I don't believe they have any paint...

No service center can do that kind of work. check website for Tesla Certified body shop.

Excellent, glad to hear this. Did you have to make an appointment for this?

Did some experimenting today and I think this thread explains exactly what happened to me last night. It seems that reverse will allow hold to release with almost no torque from the motor (minimal throttle input), whereas drive will not. I think this is because reverse has lesser amount of...

Just happened to me today. Have almost 5,000 miles on the car so not a complete newbie. Car kept pulling forward into a curb stop. It sure felt like the car was powering forward and not just rolling, but I was so close to the curb stop I was afraid to give it too much throttle each time I...

After some more testing, I don't think it's a driver's profile thing, I think my auto mode is defective. It also won't allow me to select, 'keep cool on' when exiting the car nor will it allow to set cooling from the app.

Tried the two button reset and still doesn't seem to work. Cannot get app to control temp either.

Lucky you didn't kill a construction worker.

Check out Bjorn's youtube video on mats. He compares them all. 3D maxpider wins. That's what I have and i highly recommend. Very easy to open the storage compartment with the mat in place.

Doesn't sound twice as loud to me. Db scale is widely misunderstood due to difference between perceived loudness and sound pressure. Were the tires the same model in the video and were the pressures identical?

Curious who the shocks are made by...any manufacturer listed?

Yes

So a followup on this. It seems that vent selection in auto mode is part of the driver's profile. When I changed the vent to face and saved my profile then it seemed to remain with face vent at next startup. This is surprising to me since I thought the purpose of auto mode is that it would...

So I see the Keep Climate On window on my display, but the options are all grayed out and I can't select any of them. Also sometime the keep climate on Window doesn't appear. Can anyone elaborate on how this works? I'm on 20.4.4

I spoke too soon, my car appears to have topped off this morning after my super off peak rate period, arrgh. Seems to be a bug with this latest version as I haven't noticed it before. Perhaps Tesla should allow you to include a charging window so you can be sure there is no topping off outside...
