    Raven Model S - Front Motor Whine

    Hello, I have a 2020 Raven that is 9 months. Since it was new, it's had a loud whine from the front that starts at start up and finally stops at about 35 mph. It sounds very much like a truck transmission. The frequency goes up as the car goes faster. Anyone have experience with this type of...

    Problems with Home Energy Gateway App

    Well, I dinged the installer again, and after consulting with Tesla, the Powerwalls do still have cellular, but I think it's only for monitoring. Firmware updates need to be installed via Ethernet or WiFi.

    @power.saver, thanks so much for your answers. The installer told me that there was only Ethernet and WiFi available. Best regards

    Problems with Home Energy Gateway App

    Hello, I've been reading all the posts and I'm a bit worried about all the problems people are having with connections. I have a rental in Oregon that I'm installing a solar array and two powerwalls in the middle of this month. There is a possibility the renter will not allow the Powerwall on...

    Tesla cam viewer bug fixes/feature suggestions

    Yesterday when I got into the car I hit save before I opened the viewer. The only clip there was the one I just saved. I had 12.10. I now have 12.11.1 that I got last night. Have not tried it yet.

    Tesla cam viewer bug fixes/feature suggestions

    Thank you @PNWLeccy. So if I understand you correctly, TeslaCam does not aggregate clips unless something happens? I've seen clips of Tesla's nearly being sideswiped. How did those get created?

    Tesla cam viewer bug fixes/feature suggestions

    Hi. There is something I'm not understanding about how the dashcam saves video when you are driving. I just got back from a trip to Sacramento. When I open the viewer I see no files. I hit the save before I opened the viewer and all I see is the one clip in my garage. Yet if I look at the USB...

    Car washes in Fremont

    I have used the Chevron on Mowry and Farwell exclusively for 5 years. You can select either brushless or the brush. The brush does a good job with no scratches.

    Any reason not to hook up a battery tender to the 12 volt battery ?

    You are right. As a data point my second battery lasted four years before it had to be replaced Michael

    Beware driving in New England with a Enterprise loaner on the Pike!

    Is it possible to go online and temporarily add the loaner to your account in Massachusetts? You can do that in California. You can also go through the toll without a transponder. The license plate is matched up and the toll paid. No notices sent.

    Any reason not to hook up a battery tender to the 12 volt battery ?

    ^This. Here is what I think happens after doing some extensive voltage logging exercises. First, the 12V battery does not "discharge" when the car is sitting. The DC-DC converter raises the charge voltage to the float level and turns off. Around 12.5 volts, the DC-DC converter charges the...

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    Hey everyone. I'm not getting my hopes up yet. But I just got an update that SEEMS to fix the problem. Let me do some more testing and I'll report back. Of course if it is finally fixed, I wonder how long it will stay fixed when another version gets pushed.

    PSA: Check your rear brake strip

    I have seen quite a few awful looking brake strips. One I saw had 1/3 of the LED's dead, and the rest of them were varying brightness with a couple of dead LED's in the strip. Most brake strips I've seen have a big difference in brightness of the LED's

    How to avoid being forced to have a front license plate?

    Calling all military/ veteran owners

    Thanks to everyone for your service. I was a Navy ETR from 1968 to 1974. Thought about becoming a Warrant Officer but the ex-wife was extremely unhappy about it. I loved the Navy. I matured very quickly.

    Software update 2018.26 3bbd9fd

    After this update, scrolling and selecting apps does not work any more on my classic. When I press the scroll wheel, all I see is the trip screen and the car status, but can't change it. Volume works, and navigation on the left. Right side is the same. Anyone else seen this? Hope to get some...

    Firmware 8.1 - Classics

    Has anyone seen the new bug that Tesla introduced with 2018.26? The scroll wheels no longer lets you select different apps on the drivers' display on both sides. All you see is trip numbers and volume. If you are using navigation, that shows up. I've tried the reset with no luck. Another fine...

    Frunk-sized Hard Sided Cooler?

    For a refrigerator one idea might be to use a solid state refrigerator that uses a Peltier effect module. They work by a temperature differential between the cool inside of the cooler and outside. They run on 12V. The disadvantage with them is they draw a fair amount of power and the cooling...

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    Yes, that's the way it is supposed to work. Your post gave me an idea. I'm going to find a parking garage and back up in it. If the dead reckonning works in reverse then somehow the GPS must be interfering.

    I just had a thought. If anyone has a twitter account and can tweet Elon Musk, maybe he will intervene and light a fire under someone.

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    That is exactly what happened to me in Oregon when my wife and I were looking at houses. Had to back out of 1000 foot driveway and the navigation system was useless afterwards. Only because of my wife's excellent directional skills we managed to find our way out. Please Please Please contact...

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    Well, that is interesting. In my car the icon moves immediately. Sounds like the dead reckoning is not working correctly. Is there a tunnel you can drive through to kill the GPS signal and see if the icon stops moving? By the way, the homelink is extremely unreliable when backing up to a garage...

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    Well, it sounds like yours is working correctly. Just out of curiosity does the icon flip around in the direction you are going or does it back up? I'm suspecting it's a problem with the dead reckoning circuit.

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    Auto open and auto close work off GPS. If I back down my 50 foot driveway, the auto close works, but if I have to immediately drive back up the driveway, the map shows me sitting in an empty field 100 feet away. Auto open fails.

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    I noticed this problem over two years ago and started complaining. Normally this problem is not noticed because the map is normally not on full magnification. Plus once you drive forward a mile or two it corrects itself. Another interesting point is that after a firmware update it works...

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    I've tried for a long time to find out how many cars have this problem and did not have much luck. I think it's a software bug, not hardware. The GPS board was replaced which didn't help. Please notify executive escalation. Up to now I feel like I've been spitting into the wind trying to get...

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    Here is what I do. Set the map to full magnification. Put the car in reverse, touch the screen to close the rear camera and back up. I'm pretty sure that the icon will move forward. Most people wouldn't see this because it's only visible at full magnification of the map. I also see the icon...

    Driving in reverse makes GPS position wrong

    Hi Peter, I have been complaing to Tesla about this problem for over two years. Escalated it to executive resolution and all I get is a song and dance that they are working on it.RIGHT! My problem manifests slightly different. When I drive backwards the map icon moves forward screwing up the...

    Supercharger - Fremont, CA - 39201 Fremont Blvd (Fremont Hub, LIVE 27 Apr 2018, 12 V2 stalls)

    Great to see the supercharger finally open. Too bad I probably will never use it because I generate so much extra power from my solar system that I have to charge at home to keep from giving PG&E too much free power.

    Supercharger - Fremont, CA - 39201 Fremont Blvd (Fremont Hub, LIVE 27 Apr 2018, 12 V2 stalls)

    Drove by today. There was someone from E-Tech working on it. There was a whole bunch of cable reels sitting by the electronics enclosure. I could not tell if it was high current wire or what. I can't believe how long this is taking.

    Supercharger - Fremont, CA - 39201 Fremont Blvd (Fremont Hub, LIVE 27 Apr 2018, 12 V2 stalls)

    Stopped by today and found someone working on the pedestals. The backs were off all of them. The guy working on them said he was doing a final check. He said it wouldn't be open today, but probably in the next couple of days. The guy might have been a Tesla employee because he drove a Model S...

    Phone App: iPhone/Android app

    If anyone is interested, Tesla finally figured what was going on with the calendar not showing up in the car. The problem is the BT phone name length. Mine was two words with a total length of 17 characters with one space and one apostrophe. After I changed the name to 7 letters it worked. You...

    I am requesting some help with the calendar function with the Android app. This is on a Samsung S6+ with Android 7.0. The calendar function does not work most of the time. It used to work with 6.0 on my phone. A Blackberry with 6.0 works fine. The symptom is as follows. I get in the car and...

    It's not. There is only one wood panel installed. There should be panels around all the electrical equipment.

    Supercharger - Fremont, CA - 39201 Fremont Blvd (Fremont Hub, LIVE 27 Apr 2018, 12 V2 stalls)

    Stopped by yesterday. Workers were standing around not doing anything. Landscaping looks done. But, there is still only one wooden wall of the electrical enclosure. The enclosure has been like this for more than two weeks. It is taking an inordinate amount of time to finish this location.
