Am asking this as I received this message the other day, along with a "Battery Disconnected" (checked connections, and its not) and another message about shutting off some services. The information about the VCFRONT_a192 says the vehicle may shutdown unexpectedly. While talking to the service...

What happens if the vehicle shuts down due to a VCFRONT_a192 while driving?

Careful, there, Mario! That’s exactly how I got a speeding ticket! Had it 5 days....

When I bought my M3 AWD LR last year, I kept my Miata MX-5. Mostly because I wanted to minimize my risk of the new technology of the Tesla. I am sure glad I kept her... not because of problems with the Tesla... I’ve had none, but because the MX-5 (Power Retractable Hard Roof and a 6-sped...

I’ve been asked quite a few questions about my M3AWD. I see it as an opportunity to be an ambassador for this car we all love so much. There are no dumb questions. I patiently and enthusiastically answer each, no ,after how silly it may seem, because the person really wants to know. I’ve met...

I’ve never had a problem with it. I can unlock with one and lock with the other. Walk away lock works fine every time with iPhone. I use it all the time

I foliando that out. I am on another (much shorter) trip and left it at the airport. The drain after 2 days is .13 mi/hr. Problem solved. I thank you all for your help!

I live in a Rural area, so no taxi. I have a friend That will take me. He has a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. It’s has the Tesla Electric drive tech in it. He loves it!

I downloaded Stat, but have made a point to not open it, or the Tesla app during the day to not wake-up the car. I pulled the USB drive anyway. With: Sentry Mode OFF Climate OFF Cabin Overheat DISABLED Dog Mode OFF No Summon (AP only) Stats;Tesla App used once or twice, Temperature between 26 -...

You must be near Pittsburgh, PA. We had No, I don’t. Perhaps I should get them?

I’ll check but I live in Ohio, Dayton and I would be surprised if the had chargers there.

Ok, I just pulled out the USB and will see what happens.

I do not have FSD or EAP., therefore, no Summon. I have climate Off. What else could be going on?

I have a M3 LR AWD. I am going to be going to Rio to visit my wife’s family for Christmas and would need to leave the car at the airport for 3 weeks. I see lots of comments about battery drain, parasitic loads, etc. I know to shut off Sentry mode, but beyond this, I still see 12-15 miles/day...

Sorry for the double post. I had network issues

This happens to me almost daily. I commute a total of 80 miles M-F, mostly Interstate And uninterrupted State Routes. Recently I had it happen 3 times in just a few miles. It seemed to get worse with the 2019.24.4 update. I am positive that more than one driver behind me has cursed me because...

I have this happen to me quite frequently lately. Seems to have gotten much worse with the .24 release. I know it’s upped the pucker factor on more than one driver behind me. It seems to happen on Adaptive Cruise Control with or without AP engaged. I agree, this is a rather serious safety...

1-2 miles/hr is what I experienced with Sentry mode running at work. I turned it off and the drain stopped. I don’t use it unless I feel like I need it. I sure would like to see Tesla focus their SW development on useful things like you mention, rather than games.

My Amateur Radio callsign

Thanks. I didn’t not realize Sentry mode was such a power pig. I just got my M3 about a month ago, so I am still learning. . I turned off Sentry mode just after I ousted this and, indeed, the power drain has stopped. I guess I only use Sentry mode when I feel it’s needed. Thank you all. Your...

i have noticed, that when I am not connected to a charger (like in the parking lot at work) it seems that the battery level decreases about 2 mph. Climate control is off, Sentry mode is on. What could be causing this and what can I do to stop it?

Agreed, Ohio needs an incentive for EVs. Even a state investment in charging stations would be appreciated.

Here in the State of Ohio, the state legislature has passed a mandatory tax increase to pay for infrastructure repairs and improvements. This tax began Jul 1, 2019; The tax on gasoline is 10 cents per gallon, added at the pump. But for PEVs and EVs, the tax goes to $100/yr for PEVs and...

If you mean to wire an extension cord from your breaker box to your car, I’m not sure I would do that. Is that even compliant with code? In industrial applications, I’ve seen Power Whips run from PDUs to the equipment, but in a home installation, is the potential for disaster worth it?

Thank you. Buying a Tesla is my way of getting us closer to that day. I driving it! It’s a real “gas”!

Well, I am just a new Model 3 owner. I cannot afford to go off grid like that. Re read my original comment. I said as much. No, I did not miss the point.

I did not say The EV footprint is the same as ICE cars. I said EV’s, cradle to grave come out 25% better in terms of Environmental impact.

But to where you push the pollution? There is no “away” to throw anything. The ecology is a closed-loop system. That is just shoving the problem into someone else’s back yard

If someone blocked me into a parking spot or charge station, I would feel very threatened. Is reasonable person who is curious, I would think, would not do that. I also have an MX-5 Miata, and get questions about it from time to time. But no one has ever cut me off just to ask a question about...

New Model 3 owner, here. I didn’t buy my Tesla because I was trying to “Save The Planet”. I bought it as an early adopter to support evolution of the technology to a more efficient mode of transportation. I’m under no illusion that I’m not creating pollution by getting an EV. Essentially, an...
