    Charging the Roadster

    I charge at 32amps. I do it mostly for the HPWC and wiring than anything else. No point heating everything up with high current when it is not necessary.

    Love Tesla. Love my car. Wish Tesla would please fix the USB Audio Player.

    Although my 2012 Nissan Leaf played USB music flawlessly, my 2017 Nissan Leaf would not resume USB music properly. Fortunately it had a built in interface for an Apple Ipod so I put all my music on the Ipod plugged the Ipod into the USB port and stuffed it under the passenger seat. The Apple...

    Roadster Service E-Mail

    I emailed the Roadster Service 3 weeks ago and have yet to get any response at all. Funny thing is, last week I had my Model X in for the upgrade to HW3. I talked with the local service manager there when I dropped my X off. He tried contacting the Roadster Service people and another general...

    Model X 100D vs Model X LRP - Opinion/Feedback Appreciated

    Since I have only used autopilot for 1 vacation trip last Summer, FSD probably has little value to me. I generally prefer driving my car myself for all short trips and the current autopilot is enough for me on longer trips. I would go for the latest and greatest new Model X LRP for the $3300...

    Love Tesla. Love my car. Wish Tesla would please fix the USB Audio Player.

    Probably going to jinx it, but while my 2018 X is in for service, I have a 2016 S loaner with AP1. I put my USB drive in the loaner and so far the car has resumed my USB music both of the 2 times I have left the car and then comeback an hour or more later. Small victories I guess.

    What is long range mode

    I wonder if someone over there has driven a 2008-2012 Tesla Roadster and thought its Range mode applied to all Teslas. The Roadster Range mode does exactly what they are talking about. When you turn it on it allows you to charge to 100% and it also allows you to drive to 0. Standard drive...

    Love Tesla. Love my car. Wish Tesla would please fix the USB Audio Player.

    Potentially every car is different, but for my 2018 Model X I do not have to get in the car. On the first opening I stick my head in the car to hear if music is playing. If music is playing I get in. If music is not playing I close the door. All the displays go black and I then open the door...

    Love Tesla. Love my car. Wish Tesla would please fix the USB Audio Player.

    The door trick still works most of the time for me. Sometimes I have to open the door 3 times. The only failures occur when the car sometimes decides I need to listen to streaming music instead of the usb I wanted.

    Appt for HW 2.5 to 3.0 Retro tomorrow. Should I?

    My FSD was purchased with the original purchase of the X. This is for a 2018 Model X purchased in early December of 2018.

    Appt for HW 2.5 to 3.0 Retro tomorrow. Should I?

    They contacted me about the retrofit yesterday. Scheduled for the 26th. Once again, I already had an appointment for ranger service for an unrelated item and they contacted me about having it transferred to the SC so they could do the retrofit.

    Owner change & [email protected]

    Not sure exactly when it happened, but within the last week or so my Roadster has been dropped from my account. It has been there for years, but suddenly it is gone leaving only My S, X and future Y.

    Heated Steering Wheel?

    I live in Atlanta so it does not get brutally cold, but I use the heated steering wheel in my X everyday for about 6 months out of the year. Maybe due to poor circulation, but my hands are always cold. The heated steering wheel works far better at warming them up than gloves or pre heating the...

    2nd row Pedestal Seat Unlatching issue

    My 2018 7 seater does not do that either. It takes a fair amount manual of force to move it forward

    Does anyone else still prefer to drive their gas cars?

    I am lucky enough to have a 2008 Tesla Roadster for my Sports car. I do not miss gas cars at all.

    Gen 1 HPWC with newer Model Xs?

    My older HPWC has worked with my 2018 Model X 100D for just over a year now. All of a sudden it has started faulting out with the red light on the charge port and on the HPWC when I try to charge the X. I can, however, press the reset on the HPWC and it charges just fine after that. Since we...

    Premium Connectivity revoked on "used" cars ?

    Our Tesla account shows that my wife's 2013 Model S already has standard connectivity. This is despite our having purchased it used in January 2014 4 1/2 years before the July 1 ,2018 date. Thing is it says we have standard connectivity, but we really have premium based on the fact that she...

    2012 Model S Signature Cars

    My wife's 2013 Model S that we purchased from the original owner in very early 2014 already says on the Tesla Page that it has Standard Connectivity and there is a button marked upgrade.

    Touch Screen

    The screen stays on when the charge port is open or the car is running. Close the charging port and the screen will shutoff. The coolant pump works differently. It runs whenever the car is on or charging. After that it depends on some other formula. From my experience the pump runs almost...

    Roadster Service E-Mail

    When they were first starting this cutback so that you could only schedule appointments on line, my wife's 2013 Model S did not have the option to schedule. I made an appointment using my Model X, which did have that scheduling option and noted that I was bringing the Model S. Despite the...

    Tint or No Tint

    Sunshades: Tesla Model X If I remember correctly you have to buy the Sunroof 3 piece to get the top half of the winshield. The Front Windshield that Evannex sells is only the bottom half of the X's windshield. The top half and the little sunroof pieces all hold on using suction cups. I...

    Tint or No Tint

    I know I am in a very small minority, but I hate the huge windshield. I was told it was illegal to tint your windshield more than the top 6" in Georgia. I am glad it was, that meant I needed to look for other solutions. I ended up buying a 2 piece windshield sunscreen. I leave the top half...

    How can one tell if you have Full Self Drive enabled?

    I believe if you get on the Tesla web page and view your vehicle there and then hit View Details it will tell you if you have FSD in the options section.

    2019.36.2.2 (USA)

    Never had a problem with auto present doors on my 2018 MX. The seatbelt chime is there, but it seems to go away after 20 or 30 seconds for me.

    Anyone riding 19" wheels? Range improvements?

    I have only bought the 19" wheels so far. Wanted the Gray to go with my White car. They were on sale at TSportline in late August for $1440, but not in stock so I have not gotten them yet. I was going to order the tires after getting the wheels. Other than slightly lighter, the 19" rear...

    Anyone riding 19" wheels? Range improvements?

    I have some 19" TSportline wheels on order, but still waiting. Hoping for some range improvement, maybe a smoother ride, but at least I know I can rotate the 19" tires.

    Love Tesla. Love my car. Wish Tesla would please fix the USB Audio Player.

    Yes when I am out in public, people must think I am crazy opening and closing my doors over and over again. They would be astonished to learn I am not the crazy one, the car is.

    Love Tesla. Love my car. Wish Tesla would please fix the USB Audio Player.

    I have found in recent weeks, I sometimes ( maybe half the time) have to open and close the door 3 times for the usb music to resume. It use to work almost all the time with only 2 door opening and closings.

    How Early is too Early to get the Y

    Buying the 7 seat long range Y, since the 7 seater will not be available right away I feel confident of build quality at that time. We will be replacing my wife's 2013 Model S.

    3.0 Battery Longevity

    Just completed my first range charge in a long time. A few minutes after charging completed it settled down to 323 miles ideal. It got as high as 331 while charging. Better than I expected for my almost 3 1/2 year old 3.0 pack, but it does only have 8400 miles on the new pack.

    Used 2017 S vs. new 2020 Y?

    From my perspective, I am looking to replace my wife's S with a Y. The main reason is that the taller Y should be easier to get in and out of than the S.

    Model 3 - Resuming audio playback on USB

    I use folders too. For example my Folder for The Beatles has over 340 tracks. The only way I found to play the entire folder in the order I wanted was to put all the individual tracks in the same folder with no subfolders. Then I number the tracks within the title. If you do not number the...

    Model 3 - Resuming audio playback on USB

    If your car acts like my 2018 Model X. You can do what I do. When I open the door, I listen to see if the music is playing. If it is not playing (which is almost always the case), I close the door just long enough to see all the screens are dark. I then open the door again and virtually...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    I have never had to walk away. Simply open the door, close it, make sure screens are dark, open the door and the music almost always plays. I am probably jinxing it, but since getting 2019.32.11 the 3 times I have gotten into the Model X the usb music has started properly. The scary thing is...

    What is your beef with Tesla?

    They keep making it harder and harder to play music in the car using a USB drive. First and second they changed the way that the media player sorts the music. Had to spend hours appending numbers to the music so that it played in the order it was suppose to. A year or so later, they changed...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    2019.28.3.1 has made things even worse. The door trick no longer works, I guess because the usb drive appears to be rescanning everytime the car is turned back on. Not related to the usb drive, but the button on my HPWC no longer opens the charge port either. How knows what else they broke.

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    This is how it works for me. I approach the Model X. Door opens by itself. I stick my head in the door without getting in. If I hear music (which is rare) I get in and all is good. If I do not hear any music I close the door, make sure all the screens are dark and then open the door again...

    Disappointed that the door trick worked to resume usb play leaving my garage this morning, but failed to work both times I tried it while out. The only big difference I can see is that I left the AC on while I was out of the car both times that the opening closing and then opening again failed

    One other oddity I have noted. Although this opening and closing the door and then opening it again seems to be working with the usb music. The display still shows TuneIn as highlighted (darkened compared to the other choices) while the usb music is playing and song info is shown.

    Tried another brank new 32g Samsung USB drive, FAT32. I only added 12 songs with no folders all MP3s. Deleted all navigation addresses. (there were maybe 20 addresses to start with) Have tried it twice so far and both times it defaulted to TuneIn.

    The new Samsung USB drive did not fix the problem either, still defaulting to TuneIn. Going to try the new drive with just one album and see how that goes. I have tested Streaming audio, which I have not really used in the past. Streaming audio seems to be restarting properly 100% of the time.

    From what I can tell in my Model X, the 3 rear usb ports are only power related. I can not put my music usb drive back there and use it to play music. I've noted that if I leave the media player on streaming, it does come back as streaming the next time I get in the car. The TuneIn default...

    My vehicle is an 11/18 build Model X. So it has 2.5 AP at this time. Of course as we have said, everything worked perfectly until I got 2019.24.4 73fb1ab a few days ago. At this point the USB player does not start up on its own. I can, however, push the USB, pick a file and it works fine...
