    Why Does My Model X get so many Flat Tires?

    Most tire manufacturers will have a road hazard/defect warranty. I went to Continental & filled out the paperwork with tire data & purchase info for each tire on my 2019 MX. Worth a try. Also, locally in Florida, the Discount Tire store will fix them for free, IF you don't try to fix/plug it...

    New Tesla Solar & Powerwall Installation!! How many powerwalls??

    I initially wanted 4 & the "engineers" suggested 2. Well, 2 wouldn't get me through the night, so I added 2 more. Now adding a 5th. My suggestion would be to get what you can afford at the start & save the hassle of multiple permits & installation costs.

    FSD Beta 11.3.3 Problems #2

    On the MX, press the voice command button & state "Bug Report" according to the St Petersburg SC.

    Is the model 3 supposed to apply the brakes automatically to avoid a Front collision?

    I find the operative words in the car's manual to be: Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to reduce the severity of an impact. It is not designed to avoid a collision.

    Can I send someone a key to move my Tesla without them needing the physical key card?

    Wouldn't it be easier to have the 2nd party on your app approve the start remotely?

    Is this normal?

    Did you try another charger that is not near the "slow" one? What was the charge rate on it?

    How to reset tire pressure after new tire

    I've changed the tire size and then back. That caused a message that the TPMS had been reset. You might try it. Good luck 🤞

    I need y’all’s help please

    So, here's a solution set for the ear problem. WWII German Stuka pilots intentionally ruptured their eardrums during WW2 to prevent air pressure issues. The Bajau people of the Pacific rupture their eardrums to facilitate diving and hunting at sea. Just kidding of course.

    California DMV complaint over Tesla Autopilot/FSD

    To be meaningful, the data needs to be normalized. EG, crashes per 100K miles. Otherwise, the entity with the most cars the highest number

    Thoughts on Yoke from Plaid owner

    I too was a USAF & commercial airline APD (airplane driver). Some stick time and most with a yoke. NOTE: I haven't driven a Tesla yoke. I never noticed using a yoke to be as uncomfortable as you believe it to be. Back in the old days they used to teach 10 & 2 o'clock positions for driving autos...

    Discussion: Tesla Energy / Auto Customer Service

    1. I have not had issues getting my deposit money back in the past. 2. They removed the equipment in two days I have a somewhat similar Tesla experience. Equipment delivered Friday before installation on Tuesday. Crews (a PV crew & a Powewall crew) did show on time. PW crew started in garage...

    Voice command "No connectivity"

    I had a similar issue. Tesla Service cleared a cache from the touchscreen and sent a gateway reset over the air that fixed my issue.

    How much weight can the frunk support?

    Never load more than 300 lbs (136 kg) in the front trunk. Doing so can cause damage. This is a caution note from the Tesla MX manual.

    Help please! Model X Glove box can't open

    Probably won't work but try the voice command something like "glove box open" & also check that you didn't set a pin for the glove box or valet mode.

    Tesla Model Y - Things You Should Know!

    Like most things, there is a video/app/formula for that. The formula is based around the tire pressure and the speed of the vehicle. Tire grooves & road grooves (like on some bridges/roads) help to move the water away. Please see:

    FL Registration Question

    True. In my case I walked in with a plate and drove out with that plate on the car. Tesla processed the paperwork, and a corrected paperwork copy came in the mail from FL DMV. In my case I had renewed the plate prior to selling the "old" car, so slightly different from the original question...

    SolarEdge HD Wave SE10000H Failure - Tesla Repair Time Estimate

    I have one of each SE. The installer (Tesla) pointed at the one with the display and stated he'd be back in a year or two to replace it. So, one+ year down, still watching/waiting.

    Writing a letter to my Representatives (USA)

    As noted above. State what you want them to do up front, explain the case/need/resolution they need to take, then restate the beginning action again in the closeout. Finish out with a thank you and looking forward to their response. Keep it simple and short so they understand. IMHO, they...

    How much does Tesla service charge for a 12V Lithium battery?

    I'd say ask them. They replaced mine a couple of months ago under warranty and it was a standard battery, but I didn't ask about Lithium one.

    I think there is a FWD recalibration process in the manual. Perhaps it might solve the issue.

    2500 miles in and now my tire has a puncture. Local Tire shop won’t touch it.

    Excellent rundown. I will add a caution due to a recent experience I had with plugging the tire myself. All prior plugs I have installed over many years have lasted the life of the tire. However, the one (on my MX) did not get a good seal (slower leak, but still leaked). So, what I found out is...

    Am I not understanding the app?

    At the bottom of the screen shot you should see a "TO GRID" and the value of kWh for the month. It runs by calendar month & won't address your TOU issues. Also, some utilities have a monthly minimum charge. For example, I have a midmonth billing and a flat rate cost (no TOU). However, I have a...

    Yes. The "nag" clock keeps running. Seems stupid to me, since you aren't moving, but... Perhaps one day they will stop the timer while sitting still.

    automatic headlights, model X

    Yep! It is really more like an "auto-dim" feature, as you select hi-beam and it dims for oncoming traffic and then returns to hi. However, bright isn't enough for my eyes.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    There is a little support around 652. Appears the probability of price being below 650 (ITM) is 20.26% with a delta of about -0.18. I might play one contract at 650, but would hold the other one off to see what happens. Just my opine.

    Florida solar utility liability insurance requirements

    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I had $300K personal liability, so it was raised to $1 million. My homeowner insurance is bundled with autos, but is on a separate policy. Also, I have heard that some folks cancel the insurance option after turn on.
