    Blinking red T on mobile charger

    When charging rate gets reduced, do you get a notification on your phone, on your car, or did you have to personally check the car as it is charging? I ask because I charge my car exclusively at night while sleeping. How would I know if I'm getting reduced charging speeds for any reason?

    Cant sign in APP! (error)

    I've gotten the same error also, twice now. The first time was a few weeks ago, I was stuck and had to go find my card key. Yesterday it happened again while I was out on the road. Nowhere near my home's wifi obviously. I was in the middle of using the app to change the climate settings and it...

    Does Tesla remove FSD from third-party dealers

    In a discussion, when making a claim, the onus is on you to provide supporting evidence.

    Rejected delivery, now what?

    That shouldn't be the case. A brand new vehicle should be in new, pristine condition. If you think it's normal, your expectations are lower. EVs are no different. But Tesla is different. With other cars you can inspect them and test drive them before agreeing to a $40,000 - $110,000 purchase...

    Rejected delivery, now what?

    Blink's buying a brand new car. Brand new cars shouldn't require immediate repairs and service appointments. This isn't like an open box item you purchase at Best Buy. A car is literally the second biggest purchase most people own. A brand new car should be in pristine condition. We need to...

    My Tesla tried to kill us today

    That's understandable. But if this just happened the footage may still be on your car. Teslacam keeps the last hour worth of footage before it gets deleted.

    2nd Gen mobile connector "ground loss"

    All right, it's been about a month and I wanted to provide some final updates in case anyone like me comes across this thread while googling any similar issues. This may help provide some info to any other DIY installers out there. This ended up being the problem. I did a second inspection of...

    Second dashcam setup. Yay or nay?

    I used a dash cam on my previous car so when I sold the car and bought a Tesla I moved the dash cam into the Tesla. Is it necessary? Probably not. But three reasons for me 1) I already had it so it was no effort or cost. 2) Tesla cameras are great but as Blue said, my dedicated dash cam can...

    2nd Gen mobile connector "ground loss"

    That's an excellent point. Since it's working fine now, I'm going to give it a week to see if any errors come up. But then I'll make sure to do this test just to confirm. Thanks for filling us in. I'm not necessarily out of the woods yet. If I get any errors, my next step is to do as you did...

    2nd Gen mobile connector "ground loss"

    The good news is that I only have the one main panel. No subpanels. This is my electrical panel. On the bottom there is my 6/3 romex for the NEMA outlet. I put the ground wire to the left bus and the neutral to the right bus as the homebuilder put all the bare copper wires on the left and the...

    2nd Gen mobile connector "ground loss"

    I have some degree of experience as I installed the NEMA 14-50 outlet myself over a year ago when I first got the car. With guidance, I can perform basic troubleshooting steps. As you said, there's the possibility the problem is at the receptacle. But since I never unplug the outlet, I'd like...

    2nd Gen mobile connector "ground loss"

    Hey @pdp1 I'm in the exact same scenario you're describing. Just recently I got a "ground fault" error message on my Mobile Connector Gen2 when plugged into my NEMA 14-50 outlet. If I swap out the NEMA 14-50 adapter for a NEMA 5-15 adapter, the car charges just fine. So it's not a problem with...

    Turning on Autosteer Re-sets Cruise Control Speed?

    Just an update for anyone who comes across this post through a search. Effective today it looks like this has reverted to it's normal, expected behavior. Now when you enable autosteer it will maintain the current cruise control speed instead of setting a new cruise control speed. This is on...

    Turning on Autosteer Re-sets Cruise Control Speed?

    Thanks, I took a look. It seems he's having some issues with the cruise control behavior but I didn't see anything like the problem I'm having. Worth adding to the list I guess. Seems to me all these complaints could be solved by having the appropriate options in the settings menu.

    Turning on Autosteer Re-sets Cruise Control Speed?

    Let's say I'm on the highway with a posted speed limit of 75mph. I turn on cruise control and set it to 70mph. Some time later I turn on autosteer. The car then changes my cruise control set speed to 75mph. A few questions for all you guys: If cruise speed has already been set, why does...

    Where does AP get speed limits from? How can I fix/ask to fix them?

    I'd like to know too. There's one stretch of road where the in-car speed limit isn't accurate to the real road speed limit. I checked on OpenStreetMap and the speed limit is recorded correctly there.

    How to do you 'like' a post? Or mark a post 'helpful' or 'informative' etc?

    I'm glad this post helped answer some questions. For those yet to unlock the feature, this is what it looks like. I'm still not sure how many posts or time it takes to unlock it.

    Vertical Lines on Backup Camera

    Linear artifacts like that usually suggest a loose cable connection. I would make a 'schedule service' request through the Tesla app. This is something that Tesla service can fix or replace under warranty.

    Tesla Artificial Driving Noise

    What are you talking about? The Model Y weights over 4000 pounds. Even the Model 3 weights over 3600 pounds. What ICE car is quieter than a Tesla to a pedestrian?

    Is the DashCam feature normally this low-quality?

    Where did you tap into the 12V line? Did you follow guide or do it yourself? This is a weekend project I'd like to tackle rather than my current situation where the camera's recording nearly around the clock.

    Is the DashCam feature normally this low-quality?

    Where do you guys have your camera wired for power? I also have a dedicated dashcam but I've noticed that it stays on for long periods of time. Like there's hours of footage of my pitch black garage overnight. Sentry mode is disabled at home.

    My car is still on its normal weekday preconditioning schedule but when I checked it this morning some 40 mins after the "departure" time climate control had already turned itself off.

    Pre-conditioning on new update

    Let's confirm this before jumping to conclusions. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm at work now but I'll try to check myself. If this really is the case it seems like a big oversight. What would happen to my car lets day... over the Thanksgiving weekend? It would run in-cabin heat until I...

    Front Passenger Seatbelt Noise

    I've heard it too periodically. It's only sometimes so I've had a hard time pinpointing where it's coming from. I can't really jump into the passenger seat to get a closer look while driving. I'm pretty sure it's the latch bumping into the pillar like brandon mentioned. I hear the same thing in...

    Hypothetical Supercharging Situation Etiquette - What would you do?

    One of the purposes of lining up is to let other people know there will be a wait. They can gauge by the length of the line whether it's worth it for them to wait for an open supercharger or make alternative plans. Holding a spot in 'your mind' is the same as not standing in line at all. The...

    Here's the problem SandiaGrunt, no one here knows who you are. In the real world you may or may not be an expert in some relevant field. But here you are just a random forum user like everyone else. An anonymous voice. In your case, an anonymous voice throwing a tantrum because people don't...

    There's also a lock/unlock icon near the top of the car's screen (next to the Tesla logo). Where you parked the whole time or did you engage Drive?

    How to remove the odor / mold smell from your AC

    Thanks for the helpful video. Please provide us a 6-month update regardless of the outcome. Many DIY remedies don't have any follow up and they become gospel whether they're truly effective or not.

    HW2.5 even after April 12th build date

    This is a topic I've been following closely so now that I have my Model 3 I figured I'd post my findings too. I have a Model 3 VIN# 310XXX. The delivery center performed an update before I arrived. It was firmware version 2019.16.3.2 when I picked it up. Door sticker shows May 2019 build...

    Hi guys, I'm new posting in the forums although I've lurked for a while. Recently I created an account. Periodically I'll find a really well written post or a detailed explanation to something obscure and I'd like to either 'like' the post or mark it 'informative' but I can't seem to figure out...
