    Any way to swich to neutral when bricked?

    So I got into an accident a few weeks ago on the highway...got rear ended while slowing down to avoid debris in the road. Car was undrivable, with a million electrical system warnings. After rebooting the car a few times, it finally allowed me to put it in tow mode, and police helped me push it...

    Apple Music: Playing Albub in Order?

    I love having Apple Music in the car, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to play an album in order from start to finish. Any time I click on an album, it randomizes. Anyone figured this out? thanks

    Navigation going bonkers

    I've always loved the navigation on my Tesla, but it suddenly started behaving oddly. Traveling on the highway with no traffic, the navigation kept advising me to get off at an exit, drive parallel to a highway for as short a distance as possible, and get back on the highway. It's done this...

    Can't Adjust Navigation Volume

    The title pretty much covers the bases...I have no control over the volume of the navigation. I can visually adjust them, either from the control panel or the steering wheel inputs, but it doesn't actually affect the volume at all. Any ideas? I've tried hard and soft resets.

    Fast Charging!

    My previous record was a little over 600. This was glorious.

    V.11 Specific Range Loss?

    I know, I know...enjoy the car, set the range to a percentage, don't fixate on it, etc. etc. I've rolled with the punches as my range has slipped in the 2.5 years since I bought my LR RWD, from 325/293 to a pretty consistent 295/270 or so. Not bad...I've heard far worse. But immediately...

    How Long Would Battery Last? [hypothetical - sitting in gridlock]

    I was reading about horrible Highway gridlock in Virginia during a big snow storm…drivers were stuck for hours and hours not moving, people were running out of gas and abandoning cars. Let’s say you got into the gridlock with 250 miles of range…how long do you think the car would last without...

    V.11 Sentry Mode?

    There’s a lot I like about the new V.11 interface, but I can’t find a way to turn on Sentry mode from the main screen like you used to be able to do. Doesn’t appear in the customizable icon list. Any ideas?

    USB Storage Full Question

    So I just got a message that my thumb drive is almost full, and that I should delete some files. What happens if I don't? Will it automatically write over older files, or stop recording completely? thanks

    Charger at Princeton Service Station?

    A little confusion over at Plugshare about whether there's a public use charger at the Tesla service station in Princeton or not. Anyone have first hand knowledge? thanks

    Rotate without Alignment?

    I've got a leaking tire to get checked out...got an appointment with NTB...and since I'm due for a rotation, I figured I might as well get it done while I'm there. The only thing is, they said they don't have the capability to do alignments for Teslas. Is that a problem? Can't get into a Tesla...

    TPS Gone after Update

    So my tire pressure sensors aren't showing anything after the 2020.24.6.9 update. Tried a hard restart, but still nothing. Any ideas?

    Sentry Mode...too much recording.

    So what exactly does sentry mode record when it's activated? Every time I have a Sentry mode event, there is almost 11 minutes of footage, so it's really hard to figure out exactly what the incident was. Since you can't scrub through cleanly, you pretty much have to watch the whole 11 minutes...

    Winter Tires, or no?

    So does anyone bother with winter tires in the non-mountainous mid Atlantic area? I still have my stock tires on my M3, and am trying to decide if I need anything different.

    Odometer Wrong?

    So I charged to 90 last night, which is 287 miles for me lately. I drove to do an errand about a mile away, and now my range is down to 270, and the odometer claims I drove 12.3 miles. Cool day in the mid-40s, heat barely on. Anyone had a disparity this extreme?

    Best Wireless Charger?

    Haven't seen this discussed since Tesla came out with their version. Finally got a phone that can charge via wireless, and trying to figure out what to get.

    Disappointing Superchargers

    As wonderful as the Supercharger network is, it can be really disappointing when you get slower than expected speeds. On a trip this weekend, I used three different SCs that in the past I've gotten close to 150kws with...this time, I averaged around 50. I was concerned that there was something...

    What would happen if I hit Park while moving?

    So this morning, while waiting at a red light, I intended to clean my windshield, but instead chose the wrong side and pushed in the 'park' button instead. Made me wonder what would happen if I made the same mistake at full speed. Anyone?

    Federal Tax Rebate-How does that work?

    So I bought a few months ago, when the rebate was still at $3750. By the time the tax forms come out, it'll be half of that. How does the form work? Will there be instructions on all the different rebate levels? And I assume I don't have to send anything in until I do my federal taxes in early...

    First Road Trip

    More of a mini-road trip really, but still the first time I've taken out my LR-RWD outside of my immediate vicinity. For starters, I couldn't believe how many other Teslas I saw on the road...my son made a game of counting all of them. The car rode beautifully, and got almost exactly the...

    Navigation Re-Routing?

    M3, LR RWD. When I use google maps for navigation, it'll re-route me where there's traffic and a better route. In the Tesla, I can see the traffic on the screen, but it doesn't re-route. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere, or is the navigation in the Tesla simply not as effective as in...

    Final Decision, 14-50 or Wall Connector?

    Been going back and forth, and I'd like to finally make a decision. I've got a LR M3, and the speed difference is pretty negligible...I don't drive a lot, and both will fill up the car in a few hours. So other than the obvious stuff...Wall Connector looks good, but is more expensive. Would be...

    Anyone in MD use Pepco's EV rate program?

    So Pepco has a program for EV owners that gives you a rate discount off peak, but in turn bumps up the rates during peak hours. Anyone in this program? Do you save any money using it? Electric Vehicle Program (MD) | Pepco - An Exelon Company thanks

    The Real Use for Auto-Pilot

    I've never really understood the love for auto-pilot...this is a car I love to drive, why would I want to take that away? I've tried it on the highways, and enjoyed the novelty for a few seconds, and then turned it back off. To be fair, I never really used cruise control on any cars I've had...

    Phone Charging Takes 2 Tries?

    AP/Speed Limit Sign Gone from Display

    Last time I drove, a few days ago, the display showed the speed limit signs on the right and the wheel indicating AP was ready to use on the left. They were both gone today. Any ideas? No sign of a software update...running 2019.12.1.2. Thanks Sorry for the cross-post. Wasn’t sure where to...

    Bonus Charging Miles...how do you know you have them?

    So I just got my car, and I love everything about it. I was curious about the supercharging bonus though...I was supposed to get 5000 free miles. I haven't done any supercharging yes, so I'm curious if there's a way to check if I have them in my account or not. thanks

    LR RWD No Longer Being Made?

    So I called up my rep to order this morning, planning on going with a LR RWD, but was told that they're no longer being made, and they're only selling current inventory. Anyone else hear this? Switched to AWD, since I was waffling back and forth between the two anyway.

    Supercharger Expense

    Just went on Tesla's website to plan a trip...about 600 miles, had me stopping at three superchargers. Really surprised to see that the total savings using electric instead of gas was a grand total of $10, according to their estimate. Not impressive.

    Turning Off Unused Portion of Screen?

    To put it simply, I don't like to see the map when I'm driving, unless I specifically need directions. Is there a way to turn off the map, or to cover it up with a static screen?
