Tesla and Connected Solutions nearly screwed me last weekend because they didn't declare a Storm Watch event because of the winds from Elsa. On Thursday July 8th we had an event from 4-6PM that dropped our Powerwalls to 20%. This was while we were getting rain from the remnants of Hurricane...

This will make a day trip from Sunday River to Sugarloaf all that easier.

Or just not both with this nonsense on a vehicle costing $100K.

I had to call them. The credit card number listed in your account is separate from the credit card number used for Premium Connectivity. You have to go into "Manage" on the car and then resubscribe to Premium Connectivity. When I did, it failed since it still had my old credit card number even...

3 weeks ago my credit card # was stolen. My CC company overnighted me a new one. I immediately updated everything that used that credit card, including my Tesla account, since my Model X needs the $9.99 monthly subscription to keep premium connectively (thankfully my Model S predates that...

What town are you located in?

Note that the OP was talking about the Model S vs. other cars, including the Model 3. All those features except one (air suspension) are also available in the Model 3.

I volunteer for the local Meals on Wheels in my town, and deliver warm lunch to the elderly and other shut-ins. It takes about 75 minutes from 11AM-12:15 each day I volunteer. They have a mileage reimbursement that more than covers the cost of charging (it actually covers the cost of *all* my...

We are on the way to northern NY and just noticed the updated exit numbers for the Mass Pike are showing up on the car.

Can a mod change the topic title to something like "Lost Supercharging on car bought from 3rd party dealer"?

The funny thing is, with the nav I don't even look at exit numbers any more.

I suspect most are still inside the Fremont factory.

In the end I found no actual interference or problems with either of my Zigbee networks (one on a Smartthings v2 hub, one on a Hubitat C-7 hub), so I did nothing to the Gateway's WiFi. That said, the approach I was going to try was the one suggested above, which is to join the Gateway's WiFi to...

Idaho gasoline tax is $0.33/gal (ref: Gas Tax by State 2020 - Current State Diesel & Motor Fuel Tax Rates) If you drive 12000 miles/year in an ICE that does 30 mi/gal, you'll use 400 gallons of gasoline. That would result in paying $132 in gas tax per year. It seems like the existing...

And I just realized I had a mistake in my math. I was computing the free 250kWh (per month) based on my full electric cost; but it actually only reimburses for the supply portion. I pay National Grid $.14/kWh for distribution costs, and (on my current supplier) $.0957/kWh for supply. This...

While looking at this, I went back to my notes for energy suppliers. I'm been using alternate suppliers for years, switching nearly every year. My notes included something on Clearview: they have a $10/mo "customer charge". It used to be on all of their plans, but now it's only on some of...

Ah, Chargepoint's page on incentives for MA includes the new plan you mentioned from Clearview, even though Clearview's page is not updated. This is a great deal if you already have the ChargePoint EVSE. Otherwise, I'd have to buy one ($699+tax). There's the 30% Federal tax credit ($210) and...

Where does it say that? The FAQ page still lists the old plan.

As it shows in my location.

Thanks for the heads up! I checked my receipt from last year - no sales tax was added to my payment.

I just configured a Long Range and it included the yoke steering wheel. No option.

We do trips from MA=>Buffalo (~440miles) all the time (well, not over the last 12 months), summer and winter. With my S75D (~240mi range), we usually charge twice on the way (Albany and Utica), but we need the bathroom break anyway. With the X100D (~290mi range) we only stop to charge in Utica...

I've lived in my current house for 30 years and only recently did I finally memorize what my exit number was on the Masspike. And that was only because my car would show me the exit number on the screen (via the nav) as I was approaching the exit. With the car's nav, I almost never pay...

There is plenty of spacing between Superchargers in MA for even a range-limited Model S 60s to be able to transition the area successfully, so I think Tesla has done a heck of a job. (IMHO, the worse thing is traveling on a Saturday and arriving at a Supercharger as an interim waypoint only to...

Can someone fix the title for this thread?

Break HOLD is not the same as the Creep / Roll / Hold option being asked about in the OP. Your '16 does not have the feature being asked about.

2017, just under 4 years old, 46K miles. Never had a problem with any of the door handles. (I keep wondering if I should get an extended warranty in case my door handles start to fail)

Poor Model S. So many killers after it... more than John Wick.

I'm glad I was able to teach my kids to drive on cars without any assistance systems (7 to 15 years ago, before our first EV). It made them learn to not depend upon a rear camera or lane keeping, and IMHO made them all better drivers. Our belief is that the purpose of "learning to drive" is as...

Yes, I did, too. Almost immediately.

Just last week I got an email invoice for my Powerwall install (from [email protected]). It directed me to Paypal to pay by "bank or credit card", but I don't have a credit card hooked up to Paypal. I called and was able to give the CC over the phone. I was not charged a fee for this.

Tesla is coming by tomorrow for the town inspection, so I'll ask about using a serial cable there and disabling the WiFi. But if that doesn't work out, I'll probably do you as you suggest and join it to my network (and then see what network it actually talks upon).

We certainly were able to just continue doing things when the power went out the other day. It was really awesome. I have a case opened with support on the missing notifications. I'm hoping that can fix this (but I have my doubts given how many people are complaining about it). Meanwhile, I...

I have the one notification ("Power Outage" under Energy) enabled in the app (Android), but I haven't ever gotten a notification. Right this instant we are in a power outage only because we saw a blurb on the news that said our area was without power. I guess the PowerWalls are working fine...

The gateway has it's own WiFi access point built it and it is listening on it's own SSID at "TEG-xxx" (on channel 10). They do this so that you can connect to it like this: Connecting to Tesla Gateway | Tesla Support My gateway is connected directly to an ethernet switch. It's not using WiFi.

And given how the parking lot at the Hannaford is constantly full most summer days, I'm going to suspect there will be lots of icing at those SuC stalls.

BLOT: Is there anyway to configure or turn off the WiFi in the gateway? My two Powerwalls were recently installed. The gateway is hardwired to my gigabit ethernet network. The WiFi isn't being used. But it's still active, and on 2.4GHz WiFi channel 10. My two WiFi access points are...

AP2 came out starting in October 2016. You can physically tell the difference between AP1 and AP2 cars by looking at the chevrons behind the front wheels; for AP1 they are all chrome, and with AP2 (or newer) they are actually cameras. You should be able to tell if your S is AP1 or AP2. When...

I struggled between ordering 2 or 3 PowerWalls. We have 2x HVAC systems (2 furnaces, 2 A/C). In the ordering process it stressed that I needed 3 to have a whole house backup; with just 2, they would only put critical loads on the PowerWalls (e.g., everything except the 50A EVSE and the two...

The first time your car drives away for an errand without anyone in it, you'll know it's working.;)

Well, I see the difference every time I drove my wife's X. To me, it's not a big enough difference that I'll do something about it. In fact, I'm glad Tesla came out with the FM radio upgrade after I had my MCU2 upgrade done, as it saved me $500!

It's a mating ritual. The Model S is trying to get your other car's attention, which is likely ignoring it. You are best off replacing the other car with another Tesla. Of course, then you get the opposite problem. When we go into the garage and get into the Model S, our Model X opens the...

Yes, someone wrote that deleting old nav destinations helps. I did so on my S when it had the MCU1 - it did not help.

I can second this!

Just to clarify, having the other fob nearby is not the cause of the problem I describe when I created this post. As I said, when I tested out this cause of the problem, I had the other fob in the Faraday bag. But I originally bought the bags for situations such as when we travel and the car is...

When I did this testing I had the other fobs in Faraday bags. And I first tested the effectiveness of the bag by attempting to get into the car when I had the bag with fob inside next to each car. The Farday bag absolutely prevent the signal from getting out. I bought these because they were...

My passenger side DRL was replaced when I had my S in for the MCU2 upgrade. 44K miles.

TL/DR: The S selects the driver profile based upon which fob caused the handles to present. The X selects the driver profile based upon which fob last unlocked the car (*not* the fob that caused the driver's door to open). A few months ago, my wife started complaining that once in a while her...

It's not an "app", but TeslaFi is a great tool for knowing about your car and what you've done with it. Read more at this post (which has a list of other posts I've made about TeslaFi). Must have phone apps I'm not associated with TeslaFi - I'm just a happy, paying user ($5/mo). But if you...

Would I buy a Model S today? If it lacks the Pano Roof, no. Should you trade your Model 3 for a Model S? Maybe, if it makes you happy. (and that's after taking financial matters out of the way; e.g,. if you have a loan for your Model 3, then stop wasting money. It's just a car)
