Be very careful with these! I had one running a heat lamp for a bearded dragon, which I'm pretty sure doesn't draw anywhere near what the car does, and the damn thing burnt my house down. Now I don't trust them for anything more than Christmas lights.

Winter is not referring to the time of year, but to freezing temperatures. You'll start losing regenerative breaking when your battery pack drops below 55F. The colder the pack gets, the less regen you get. As you drive, the pack will warm up. If it's really cold out, the car will turn on a...

Did this always work out in your favor? I can't imagine it going well for someone like myself that gets more spam calls than real ones. Also, you may want to remove your exact address from your "location".

Being in MD myself, I fully understand why you can't make full use of all AP features. People around here are just too erratic :mad: Leave more than a car length between you and the car in front of you? Guaranteed someone will fill that gap just for the sake of filling the gap.

It could be worth making a call and bringing that up. They might work with you to make something happen.

I had this happen to me a couple days ago with my Pixel 2. I rarely make/receive calls, so I never noticed before. The person who called me said they could hear me trying to talk to them, but I could not hear them. That was probably my first in car call since V9 came out in October.

Plugshare shows 3 checkins for the 25th, so likely it was fine

I have the same problem as well. I was gonna start a thread about it, gathered screenshots and everything, but never got around to posting anything. It seems like the API is incorrectly reporting numbers.

I think "preconditioning" in the sense that it takes 40 to 60 minutes means running the battery heater to get it to a reasonable temperature.

What's the going price for a wind shield on a Tesla? Last time I had glass replaced for a car, I paid out of pocket since it wasn't worth dealing with insurance for a $400 windshield. I don't expect Tesla glass to be that cheap.

The only real issues I've had so far all had to do with how much the browser sucks. Sometimes the app takes me to the login screen, but if you still have the "Playlist" and "Albums" buttons at the top, then just press one of those and it takes you back to your music.

Anyone else hate that type of charger where you pull forward into the spot and then have to back out of? It's a royal PITA, especially in a busy garage. Why not make them so you back in?

If I had not made a run up to CT earlier this month I would have gone for Thanksgiving. Earlier this month I had no problem charging in my MS. I likely would have opted to drive my Mazda because it can do the whole route without stopping. I don't take the traditional route up I95. I save myself...

Sometimes I have to double press the button. Have you tried that?

I see you're in Virginia. I'm not sure who you had in mind for a dealer, but I would stay far away from Imperial Highline. All the cars in their lot have accidents on the carfax, plus they don't flex much on the price. All the cars Tesla can't put in their used inventory due to an accident end...

I didn't even know this was a thing. Is this in all cars of that era, or just those with the bio hazard defense mode?

What is the problem, exactly?

They move sequentially in my 2015 MS. I'm guessing it's normal.

It took 6 weeks for me. As my temp tag was getting close to expiring I contacted my sales adviser who eventually figured out they forgot to have me sign some paperwork when I picked my car up in NY. I wasn't able to drive my car for a week, but eventually they overnighted me the paperwork to...

Let's not forget about this gem. Not my video.

When you adjust your mirror, do you remember to hit "save" on your driver profile? This got me for a week after I got my car.

I really wish the radar map from windy.com worked on the Tesla. Unfortunately it throws some error about javascript iirc. The wind map works ok, but that doesn't do me much good.

Oh great, that's happening on the nav screen now too? I've only seen it on the charging screen. I hear a reboot helps. There are a couple threads on this already.

If you come across any with the low profile 14-50 connector, let me know!

I recommend using abetterrouteplanner.com. Make sure you use the advanced settings to set temperature, speed preferences, etc. Here's an example route for you: A Better Routeplanner IIRC, temperature settings don't carry over with sharable links, you you might need to adjust that.

If you're hydroplaning, one of the best things to do is put your car in neutral and don't touch the brakes. It prevents unintended engine braking or acceleration. Of course once you're out of the hydroplane you would put the vehicle back into drive.

It's kinda scary that something can go awry on Tesla's side and then poof, no more AP. Anyone on AP1 able to confirm whether or not this happened to them? I won't be heading out of work for a few hours.

You'll likely need to go into Settings > Account and generate a new token that allows controlling the car. TeslaFi defaults to a read-only token. Once you do that you can go to Controls > Schedules and setup the command, where you want it to run, time of day, day of week, whether or not you...

Not an app for your phone, but TeslaFi is fantastic. It allows you to schedule pretty much any API call the car can handle. Plus you get all sorts of great stats about your car. There is a 2 week free trial, but you can get 4 weeks with a referral. You can use my username as a referral if you're...

Not every place with a supercharger is friendly. There are some horror stories about the Warsaw, NC supercharger. Tesla even took it off their map, but it's still there and usable. Supercharger Proposal for NC - Warsaw, NC

I think the general advice is to set regen to low for icy conditions. Of course if you just keep your cool and control your foot on the go pedal, you should be able to keep yourself from going into a skid. If you're about to hit something and you have ice under your tires, there's probably...

You should be able to pay the $1800 via ACH through Tesla's website on your account page. I paid a much bigger chunk than that electronically with no issues.

What is Insane plus? Is that insane with max battery?

Last time I went out of town for a few days the car went into a deep sleep it wasn't happy about coming out of. It's like getting a teenager out of bed at 6AM on a weekend.

It will take you about 30 to 45 min to get used to it, then you'll never want to get in a gas car again. You'll take a liking to the instant acceleration pretty quick. After that, you'll get used to the regenerative braking and making minor go pedal adjustments to keep pace with traffic...

That would be 6 martian weeks. Remember the timing he promised for V9?

Can you explain the logic behind your easy entry settings? This sounds like the exact opposite of easy entry. Mine, and probably most others have it as seat all the way back, steering wheel all the way up. I also have the seat til forward to provide a little more separation between my knees and...

Florida Man strikes again! The driver sounds guilty from the lawyer's statements. I hope this gets thrown out.

Getting their attention with my wallet was my experience too. Of course I didn't have the patience to try for weeks like you did. I gave them a few days and then just went ahead and put a deposit down. The car was in fantastic shape, also at the Mt. Kisco location. Welcome to the cult!

You might be on to something. Maybe it's not a side effect.

What do you like using your right scroll wheel for? Personally I like using it for Temp/turning the climate on and off. Since V9, using the wheel to control the sunroof has also been more handy than using the center display.

This thread has a discussion on it: CPO purchase from out of state California tax liability? In short, you pay CA their 10%, they'll give OR whatever portion they require, CA puts the rest in their pockets.

Is the HOV sticker worth it? From my experience on 50, if it's rush hour it doesn't matter what lane you're in, everyone is going at a snail's pace. People that don't belong in the HOV lane are there anyway. If it's not rush hour, it doesn't matter what lane you're in, everyone is going 80. I...

My browser wasn't working for the last few days, but it randomly started working again this morning. No MCU reboots as far as I know. I don't use the browser very much, so I never really think about it, but I would like to use Tesplayer.

I don't think I noticed the size of the car change in the IC. I can still tell when my brake lights and headlights are on. Lane placement is still pretty accurate.

They don't strictly adhere to the 7 day rule as far as I can tell. They certainly want it off their lot sooner rather than later, but if you let them know your situation they'll work with you. The service centers are pretty flexible, especially with pickup times. You'll have to book an...

If you're trading the BMW in, you're driving it to Atlanta. Tesla will not ship used vehicles. Congrats on the car! Edit: Is NJ a front license plate state? If so, make sure you get the mount for it. I notice it's not there in the pictures.

You'll learn that Tesla's browser sucks at life even worse than Internet Explorer

Are the arcade games really still news to people?
