    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    So great, a few idiots who could not understand the limitations of the system will now make its use much less convenient.

    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    Acronyms are rife on this site but this takes the cake. But I'm just an old man with lifetime of free Supercharging... By the way this was a cryptosnark.

    Sick and tired

    When we were in Palm Springs right after we bought the car on backing out of the parking spot and driving a few hundred feet I heard a clicking noise like a rock in the tire. I got out and found a 5.8 inch bolt in the tire. I suspect someone put it there deliberately.

    2017 Tesla Model S - Key Fob Low Battery

    Ordered a new fob and a technician showed up at our house with it and he set it up.

    2017 Tesla Model S - Key Fob Low Battery

    I have a problem with one fob that I replaced the battery but not a Panasonic. It now doesnt work but oddly when I have both fobs in the car it still sets the seat with Jim on the dash like the key only works when the other one is present. Where can I get one of these odd batteries. Definitely...

    Maybe I’m overreacting?! 😱 [first curb rash]

    I have curbrash on all 4 wheels and really don't care. I did a couple and my wife finished the job. Kind of like patina on fine silver...

    2018 Model X Let me leave home without FOB

    I thought I had hidden my fob in a safe place before going to burning man. The problem is I could not remember where I put the thing when we came back. I searched for several days having to use my wife's fob to get about. I did finally find it in a safe place... Reading the above makes me...

    Supercharger - Tejon Ranch, CA (expanded to 24 V2 stalls)

    Stopped by there yesterday and it was a zoo. About 1/2 of the charging stations were inoperative so the arrivals had to find ones that did work. Needless to say there were a lot of times when 2 cars wanted the same slot. Some draped the cord over the charger frame but most of the time not...

    Auto park and summon no longer works for me!

    Neither summon or autopark have worked for me for a long time. I finally gave up.

    low tire pressure warning(possible leaking air) how much to fix this?

    I used to get these warnings frequently but it turned out to be false as it went away. Many Costco stores have a nitrogen free air station which I use all the time. Surprising how often I have to add air to my tires.

    tire and alignment

    I'm ready to reshoe my 2018 X, 100D. My local dealer has recommended the Continental brand and I see it is not run flat. I do carry a pump, I know it depends upon the nature to the puncture. Thoughts? 2k installed and aligned.
  19. Mr. Jim

    Could Tesla and other EV's implement a flat towing mode?

    I have a battery driven air pump I keep in my car and it has proved very usefful and allowed me to avoid towing. I could get to the nearest tire store after a couple of refills.

    Shimmy in steering

    I recently have noticed a slight shimmy as I turn the wheel. Also my sense of steering seems odd. If this was an odd clunker I’d be thinking a loose tie rod or arm. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Beware of Model X

    Reading all of these issues makes me nervous since my warranty ran out in early August. I'm beginning to feel as though I've been had and am just waiting for the hammer to drop. There are some absurd comments about having a pile of money in reserve to cover inevitable expensive repairs. I...

    It is in the high 70’s but my X cabin is 95. This has been going on for a long time. Could this be du to sentry?

    Mileage shortfall

    You’re likely right
  30. Mr. Jim

    Mileage shortfall

    I’ve recently taken several trips and on return it seemed my battery had lost some range. Last night I took the battery to 100% which I very rarely do and found that amounted to 268 miles. This is short of the nearly 300 I used to see. That’s about 10% down. The car is nearly 5 years old and...

    Hey Marty - that is the exact car I had many years ago. Good that you have kept it in good condition. I sold it when I went off to grad school -- helped to pay bills.

    Cabin overheat protection in Arizona

    We just came back from a trip from San Diego to Tucson then Indio then back to Santa Barbara. For the most part this MX was useless in the heat. Our cabin temperature hit 115 because the air conditioner was shut off by the car. I do have a service appointment so we'll see if anything is...

    Extreme heat issue

    We are due to be in the Southwest next week and some locations will be 110+. This is a bit warm for us Santa Barbarians so I was wondering if any of our members have encountered this with their cars and what can I expect to happe with them. I know the cold issues but this is the other side of...

    Colorado Overlook Road in Canyonlands National Park

    That would be a trip that would trigger the worst of my paranoia genes. I don't think it would be awsome but rather worrisome thinking about being stuck there. I've been to Dead Horse Point State Park and that was enough for me and my X.

    Odd driving occurance

    I wasa headed home today on 101 and suddenly the screen went black then replaced with the Tesla logo then everything came back. I assume it was a reset. In addition when I used the car later I noticed that the icon for the air handling was dark. It did come on after I pushed it but this has...

    Socal to Reno drive

    Man I would hop over Walker pass and head up 395, magnificent ride. It is a waste to head up either 99 (Ugh) or the really boring I-5.

    Camping in a Tesla X 6-Seater like a dream... better than the 5-Seater and even with a cpap machine!

    My wife uses one of those funnels at Burning Man Saves hassle.
  39. Mr. Jim

    Odd maps. On the way to Santa Barbara from Indio, CA there are numerous mixed black shapes on the screen. I am assuming they are reservations.

    Last Friday I noticed that suddenly large black sectors and several small checkerboards appeared on my navigation screen. Are they reservations? I think they should be simply outlined. As it is now the screens can become very confusing.

    I agree this is serious and if nothing is done the feds should follow it up.
