    Delayed Registration & Plates in WA State (Portland Metro)

    I assume this is OR? If so, they are crazy behind and from what I heard have a COVID exemption that if your temp expired AFTER 3/2020, you have an infinite grace period.

    Roof Rack

    I can't even comprehend how a rack would work/mount to an X. There is only a sliver of real estate between the FWD's and that panel is just glued down and has an upward facing cam/sensor. You can get a hitch installed.

    Warranty issue and complete lack of customer service.

    Have you looked at your documents in your "glovebox / online account"? Make sure your Purchase Agreement has the default warranty info on it on page 3, directly under the Arbitration Agreement.

    Parked my car at the airport…

    Underground, no signal... Was the car sucking juice attempting repeated connections to mothership? The service center SHOULD be able to pull a battery report from the days you were gone to show what the average drain was per day and to see if there was a spike, but it doesn't mean they will.

    Falcon wing door refuses to open

    I had the EXACT same problem happen. They ended up replacing the "ACTUATOR, CINCHING, LIFTGATE (1034485-S0-C)" I used a long bungee cord attached to the passenger side handle to stop the dinging like you said. Get in, put it in gear, DING DING DING, yank bungee to open door, then use...

    Should I use Range Mode?

    It might be a little tight. Put the SC into your nav and then turn on the energy graph (up arrow, energy). Make sure it shows "trip" which will then constantly map out how it's looking. Drive accordingly. At the beginning of the trip it will be all over the place... Just drive, enjoy the...

    Should I use Range Mode?

    You must have a charging plan, since you are not going to be able to do 400km on a single charge? The only time I would turn on range mode is as a reactive measure if my vehicle is using more range than I estimated on a certain leg of my journey. Using your energy graph / trip during the...

    What are your fun and exciting hobbies?

    About 4 years. 1200 Limited Class (99' Seadoo XPL, 2-stroke 951cc with all sorts of mods). It's addicting for sure. I had, at one point, 14 skis. Race, backup race, surf, lake, loaners, etc. The ski in the photo above is the last one I have. 2004 Seadoo RXP with a RIVA Stage 2 kit and...

    So sick of truck warnings!

    I never initiate a NOA/AP lane change while any semi is in any lane near me, because the car just doesn't let it happen, or it will do 1/2 of the lane change and then abrupty abort and pull me back into the original lane. It HAS gotten better over this last year though. Still more room to...

    If the liquid was bluish and a little oily….. it’s coolant.

    Less than 1000 miles, three error messages...

    Coolant low isn't a 12v issue, it's a low coolant issue and is one the SC will usually prioritize.

    Windows Squeaky after Rain

    Wax the windows... My X squeaked and when I went in for an unrelated SC item, I added it to my list and they lubed the tracks and applied a spray wax to the window. At a later ranger appointment, the ranger did it again for a different window and said that he/they apply "Banana Spray Wax" (not...

    Tesla Apple Watch apps

    I use the Watchla app (was actually a beta tester before release). I use Authla for token authorization as well. I am a fan of it, it does everything I need, doesn't seem to have any vampire drain, and the user interface is pretty easy to use. Disclaimer, I have NEVER used any other watch...

    Auto lane change on X - blinker doesn't turn off?

    How do you activate the turn signal? If on AP/NOA, you can use a light press/lift of the turn signal stalk or pull towards you on the AP stalk. If just on AP and you want to change lanes, you need to do a LIGHT press/lift of the turn signal stalk. If you do a hard (full) press/lift, it will...

    Washington SB 5444 - to impose a mileage tax on owners of electric and hybrid vehicles

    State .gov can't make $$ off of it. The one we installed for DOL in Lacey is free and was explained to us that the state can't "make money" like that. But, if the $$ they give out goes to NPO's, then the NPO can make all the $$ they want. Not sure how the grants work with WADOT giving grant...

    Washington SB 5444 - to impose a mileage tax on owners of electric and hybrid vehicles

    That's only for people in the RTA area... That pays for your light rail projects. Down here in Oly, we don't pay that. My tabs (that are due in a few weeks) are $313. $225 of that is EV related fees, $45 is a vehicle weight fee, $30 of that is the actual tab fee that we have all voted on...

    Red car on screen and loud warning

    Tesla uses Google maps for mapping and traffic, and a company called "MapBox" for the navigation and routing. I'd reach out to Mapbox personally if there is an issue.

    249 is dream milage, under perfect conditions, doing a perfect speed for testing. The miles shown to you, on your car, are based upon algorithms on how the car is being driven over certain periods of time to give you an accurate range estimation in miles. 221 at 100% is actually pretty good...

    FS: 2016 Model S 90D AWD

    Go to your features screen and take a photo of that. You need AP2 to have EAP I think. AP1 (no side marker cameras is the give away) is just Autopilot w/ convenience.

    FS: 2016 Model S 90D AWD

    You sure you have Enhanced Autopilot? I think you have "Autopilot with Convenience Features", or what's often referred to as AP1.

    Yhea, that was me that posted it to the FB group. I didn't say Nav, it was only the app and website. It's showing on the website now, but not the app. I haven't checked Nav yet. I am equidistant to both the Lacey and Tumwater charging stations.

    Building new home with 4 garage spaces.

    Cybertruck is going to be 19'-4" long. With a clear width of 23' inside that garage you won't have much wall storage + walk around room if you ever plan on using bay 4 for a usable spot.

    Model s : should I take on this project ? Damaged and no keys

    If there are no keys, then how does the owner initiate charging? If by the App, then make sure the owner transfers the car to you via the web portal when the deal takes place. Then you can at least use the car via the app (start, unlock, condition etc) until it becomes road worthy enough to...

    Looking to buy used X

    Ideal vs. Rated miles. Ideal is when the car is powered with unicorn farts and filled with hopes and dreams. Rated is what the car SHOULD do, while still under perfect conditions. Have somebody fart in the car, drop a few miles.
