All they did was replace the seat cover. The foam and seatbelt probably was not even moved. The faux leather is just a cover attached by Velcro and push clips. They are not going to give you a new seat.

You paid $190 for tire balancing and $130 for diagnosis... You could have all four tires balanced for like $50 at a regular tire shop and they would have ripped the foam out for free if it was creating an issue on the balance machine. They just pop one side of the bead out and rip it out. Any...

You don't have the external speaker. Boombox is only interesting for about a day. You are not missing out on much.

Ha! Just buy it for October

To view the live cam yes you need premium connectivity. The car has to send the video and audio feed over a cellular network. You do not need wifi. The options only come up when sentry mode is active.

Yes from the app. Go to security and driver then view live cameras. You will see a microphone on the bottom right. Not my video but this is an example.

Yes, when sentry mode is on you can push the microphone button and talk. This has been a feature for a few years.

That looks more like someone looking at their phone, being startled by the slow merging car in front of him and, hitting his brakes while overreacting.

Pictures inside Bryant vs lower cost 14-50:

Someone needs to just take the back screw out of a hubbell so we know for sure. It comes apart and goes together easy. I'm about to post my final pics of the Bryant.

Makes sense. We know the Hubbell is branded with the UL and CSA cert on the visible front portion. There are probably government and industrial applications that require it because they are subject to random facility inspections. So Hubbell charges more for that feature.

I probably should have said this before but I took apart the Bryant because it broke. The terminal clamp failed. I consider it just bad luck. They are sending me a replacement. I do think the way it captures the wire is superior and likely the reason these don't melt. The standard option of...

I recently took apart a Bryan 14-50 and a cheap DR50-4S that I used for going on 5 years. The difference was not all that amazing like everyone makes it seem. I think the only failure point here is just making sure you got the wire under the terminal screw and torque it correctly on the cheap...

Here is the inside of the cheap 14-50 outlet. Honestly it's well built and the only failure point I can see is people not tightening it to spec or missing the wire with the terminal screw. The blades are thick and beefy enough for 32amps. This is a DR50-4S. This is going on 5years of daily use...

I found out the Tesla mobile charger doesn't use the neutral wire at all. So I ended up swapping the broken hot terminal lug for the neutral and just left the neutral disconnected for now. Seems to work fine. I will eventually replace it when the new Bryant gets delivered and send this one...

My Bryant outlet came defective : ( There is a terminal that just spins. It gets to about 10in lbs. Its a hot terminal. I called Zoro and they are sending me a replacement. Good company I will order from them again. I decided to open the outlet since it's already broke. You can easily...

As it turns out my original outlet is a DR50-4s. I haven't seen anyone else posting one of these in the forums yet. It seems to be better quality than some of the others out there. Some pictures of it next to the Bryant for comparison. SELECT Lighting SL-DR50A-4S Volt Straight Blade Device...

Good info, I was wondering why it said 125v in some of the Amazon titles. I ended up changing to the Bryant version just now. I had it in my cart on that Zoro for a day. They sent me an email with a 15% off coupon code and free shipping if I complete my order. Made it $10 less than the...

If it's fake or doesn't work I will let you guys know. It's shipped by Amazon and they do mix stock. I've previously received fake spark plugs and return swapped brake rotors from Amazon so anything is possible. I will have to really look over the markings and box on it.

Maybe... I do have copper. I only run 32amps on the mobile connector though. I have a 40amp breaker and 8awg in conduit. I charge every day. Never had an issue.

I use the Tesla mobile charger with a cheap 14-50 and my wire is only 8. I'm on year 5 with this setup but I've seen so many melted cheap 14-50s that I ordered the hubbell yesterday. It's only $49 now on Amazon. It's clearly just a better product. I can't find any pictures or posts of a...

Leviton recently came out with new receptacles made specifically for EV use.

He wasn't using a Tesla charger. There is a picture of the charger in the video. I don't know what it is but it's not Tesla.

Yea not a good situation. It was a cheaper outlet and It wasn't torqued correctly. I also bet he was pulling 40amps. I purchased a torque driver and torqued mine myself. Most electricians don't use them. I also put in a 40amp breaker and run 32amps. After 4 years... My outlet doesn't get...

Service mode.

You hitting the brake while you get out of the seat? Some people push off the brake. If you are a brake pusher you are turning the car on after you lift out of the seat. Pushing the brake overrides the logic of the seat sensor. The car turns on and assumes someone is still inside until you...

Confirmed mine is downloading 8.9 to 14.6.

Yes if your car is still connected to Bluetooth and the car thinks someone is still inside. Example: You get out of the car and put a backpack on the seat. The car uses the seat occupancy sensor to pickup weight and stays turned on because it thinks you are inside still. The phones audio...

I feel like when a new model comes out we normally instantly get comparison videos. They must have some kind of restrictions on the media to comparison videos.

Are there any videos or tests comparing this update to the old performance?

When you say took it next day for inspection why and was it a regular shop or Tesla? If it was a regular shop then yes they probably purchased the cheapest wheel they could find as a fix and it's not matching. It might even be a repaired wheel. They repair bends and scrapes then paint them...

I still have the OEM MXM4 tires. Probably my last season with them. 32,000 miles and I've plugged them myself 3 times. No issues with foam.

Call up Tesla and ask how much the OEM seat cover is. You can change it yourself. It's not hard. I am willing to bet the actual seat cover is cheaper than some of the seat cover covers. The seats come out with just four bolts and one plug. The covers are held on by just clips and Velcro. I...

Lol, I have a 2020 stealth. It was only $2,000 more than a regular long range. People bought it for the savings and to get away from the 20in wheels with summer only tires. I am in the northeast. I think the rumor was they ran out of wheels or brakes for a small run in 2020 and produced a few...

What did the batter percentage say? The battery could have just drained from being parked in an auction lot for an extended period of time.

This car is a newer model so now we can't even say it's a hardware difference in the older cars that got 2024.8.7

Anyone here have a car with ultrasonic sensors that got fsd free trial? That's probably the reason for the different software versions. Smart summon uses the USS still. The other hardware difference I am aware of is that I have a radar in the front bumper. I think cars after 2021 don't have...

I am in the Northeast so it's not location based.

Yea I am HW3 on 2024.8.7. 2020 model 3 performance

Same here.

I didn't get the free month. I am on 2024.8.7. I don't understand this. So people with the 2024.8.7 version software are just not going to get it?

Maybe he just stopped because the screen died and didn't know you can drive without it? I have drove my model 3 with no screen even in the car. The model S might be different though.

The Bluetooth antenna is in the passenger side mirror. Not my picture. It will take a door a little bit longer to unlock if the car is in deep sleep. The first pull of the handle wakes the car. You are probably opening the back door when the car is already awake.

Take the car to a regular mechanic and ask them to take a look at it. There is nothing special about the suspension that requires Tesla. Don't tell them you already went to Tesla. A regular mechanic should just find the issue and fix it rather than try to replace all those parts. It should...

There are a few grounds visible when you take the frunk out. Not sure which one it is but just try to follow the steering column to the electric power steering unit. Then look for a wire going to the cars chassis and see it it's corroded. I wonder if this article is talking about this same...

Short in the right rear motor. That makes sense. The service menu was saying motor undercurrent. So the power for the motor was shorting. They probably unplugged the rear motor and that front motor started working.

Are your door puddle lights working? Do you have after market puddle lights?

I have a 2020 model 3 but it's the same part number as the newer S. It's a little hard to find in the catalog because it's not under seats. It's under safety and restraints then seats belts. You are likey right that it's different for the pre-2017 cars. FIRST ROW OCCUPANCY SENSOR(1099592-00-F)

At first when I read your comment I thought no way these sensors cost more than a few dollars. Then I looked up the BMW version and it's bmw. The Tesla version: my seat Bmw version:

You take the bumper off and push them back in. Look up how to remove the bumper on YouTube. If you are comfortable doing it go for it. Tesla fixes them via mobile service. It might need 3m tape to hold it on.
