    Where to put 14-50 outlet and the mobile connector wall mount

    Ah, I think I may have confused the thread. Sorry. Since you'e putting in a 14-50, that means you won't be getting the wall charger (which does have cord length options) and be using your mobile charger. There is no long or short mobile charger. Sorry for the confusion I caused.

    Where to put 14-50 outlet and the mobile connector wall mount

    Nice. Yep, it looks like if you drive in, the charge port will line up really close to that black box so put it anywhere in that area. Depending on if you get the long or short cord, that may change the height a bit but it looks like you have it very easy (and cheap if there is an empty double...

    Old order increased price?

    Anytime you change an order, the entire price is recalculated at the time of re-order, along with the delivery schedule. Up or down. This is always the case and is even listed in their docs.

    Will we get an option to change the final look?

    You can change at any time. But know that if you do change anything, the entire price will be recalculated and your delivery date will be reset.

    Battery Drain

    I was in the same predicament. I checked sentry, cabin overheat protection, scheduled departure, and didn't find anything that would cause my drop. I use Teslamate to log "state" and found I was constantly coming out of sleep at the same time each morning (around 740) which would indicate the...

    Your alignment concerns are not covered by warranty.

    Not sure you can. I would inspect it as best you can before delivery. They didn't give me any grief 18 months ago when my car was delivered and allowed me as much time a I wanted but that may have changed. Hope for the best and be prepared for the worst. I would be pretty firm and say you...

    This car needs a Sport mode

    Performance not performing

    WOW. 6 and 12 second times are not the norm. Some of what they said is very valid: The car does lose power as the SoC drops. Cold weather does reduce the ability to provide the amps necessary for fast acceleration (until the battery heats up). If you have a data logger working (I use...

    This car needs a Sport mode

    Not a bad idea as I like the idea of being able to change on the fly but the stock settings are where I would have it for 90% of my street driving anyway. For when I want something other than the 90% driving, track mode is pretty damn good, even considering we have to be stopped to engage. I...

    Kilowatt usage from home charging

    Due to power inefficiencies in the AC/DC conversion, unplugged sleep vs things that cause idle loss like cabin pre conditioning, update downloading, map downloading, etc, the only real way to measure that power consumption at the outlet is with a meter. If your only charging at 120V, there are...

    Killing the brand with poor service

    My first model 3 experience - not so good.

    Curious. When you attempted to activate cruise, you only pressed the right stalk down once, correct? That’s simple radar aware cruise. If you press it down twice, that’s traffic aware cruise plus lane keep. I could see it erroring on a double stalk press but, like you, would expect it to...

    Model 3 LR vs Performance for 1-2 track days a year

    Well, setting aside power...first the brakes are the weak point, even on the P. You will certainly cook the LR brakes faster than the P, but you’ll also likely cook the brakes on the P. Second, track mode is a lot of fun. The point of track days is fun so missing out on track mode would be...

    Driver LCD Display for Model 3

    @webbah, does the device play audio over Bluetooth to the vehicle sound system? So I assume while in CarPlay mode the device uses Tesla’s microphone and speakers over Bluetooth so you just leave the source as Bluetooth in your car display? Also, any issue with blocking the airflow?

    I had this exact thing happen to me and trust me, it will get worse. If you are certain you hear the "click" after pressing the button as others have said and that click is coming from the area around the plug opening (and not the bottom of the car), then your "locking" pin is likely not...

    Is there an adapter to use this outlet? Leviton 3762C

    The 3762 is an industrial grade non NEMA locking plug. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this, but if the extension cord will never have another use, you can simply cut off the end and attach a new 6-50 plug. Personally, I would trace back the outlet that doesn’t work first and see if why it...

    Can Camp mode be used with environmental turned off?

    It will fit just fine. Your indicated speed will be a little slower than actual. I'd rather it read over then under personally but still, at 70mph, it will only read 1.5 mph under your actual speed. Not a big deal but you certainly need to know.
