Maybe a dumb question here but the first time I noticed a drop in stated range was after I left my car plugged in over night. I had previously, and ever since seeing that drop, Removed the charging cable once the charge is complete. I know the car is doing calculations unplugged at various...

Wow, yes that was embarrassingly easy. Sorry i even asked. . Mine immediately now works in vpn but still not with AT&T.

For those that have never used a vpn can you walk me through what needs to be done and the process each time you want to check your car? Just connect to vpn when you want to check your car? What’s a good free one to use? Sorry but have never used one before.

but how would i approach AT&T about this?me to customer service - My phone won’t connect to my car. CS- Do you have service? Me - Yes. CS - Do you have internet? Me -Yes. CS - Then it must be an issue with your car and not our problem. Thank you goodbye.

Same problem for me. I also have AT&T but can’t imagine that’s the problem. I can’t connect to the app when I’m away from the house for the most part. If I delete the app and reinstall it will work temporarily but i have to set up the key again which is a pain. Next day it doesn’t work. very...

I did a few weeks ago but didn’t hear back.

Besides, I can never get the damn thing to connect anyway so I’d be happier just scraping and get regular usB Drive.

I have the roadie and now my M3 frequently throws up a warning that some of dashcam footage might not be there bc they require a write speed of 4 MB/s? Wasn’t an issue before so not sure if new software related or roadie related.

I have a black car so black would look great. Seems like they won’t be delivering them for a while though. Said May delivery before and now says September Estimated. However, makes me nervous that the language says they don’t guarantee they will even be able to deliver and also that they...

Wow, I think those look great on the 18" wheel!

It sounds like I didn’t know how to use sentry mode correctly so thank you all for your assistance. The roadie automatically records recent videos which are accessible via the app on my phone. I didn’t realize that you tap the camera icon in the Tesla screen to save anything In dashcam as I...

I think that’s the case but how is that helpful? With roadie I can see recent clips of my drive and I can then choose to save. This is helpful i would imagine to document an accident or event of interest while driving. Are you saying it won’t capture this in the new viewer or you just can’t see...

So for those with a roadie, how do you get this to work? Before I updated the roadie software, the new Tesla viewer pulled my old roadie videos on the Tesla screen but wasn’t formatted for new dashcam or sentry mode recording. Once I updated the roadie software, the roadie started working ok on...

Doing a BMS recalc or 10-100% for the first time actually at a supercharger. Got up to 100% or 290 miles but has been stuck at this point for 20 minutes or so saying “calculating”. I know others suggested when going to 100%, to leave it there until it says complete but not seeing any miles added...

thanks Ken, good advice and will look into if I get tired of supercharging, which isn’t that inconvenient when it’s only once a week, or level 2 charging now that it’s getting warmer. That option also isn’t terrible but honestly much more inconvenient than supercharging especially during...

to correct myself, weather temp is relevant only to the point that standard 110 outlet option won’t be sufficient during colder days. (Not that it has ever been sufficient for me anyway and at any temperature). However exploring if my only garage outlet is a dedicated circuit to replace with 15...

Do i really need to justify the weather history on a forum? Even this week, the overnight lows almost everyday were in the 30’s so besides the point that one of the days was 46/68. Previous month saw 20-40’s overnight which means your battery gets pretty cold and takes energy to heat up, thus...

As to why I’m driving at all right now, social distancing comes in many forms but as long as your distancing that’s what counts. Getting cabin fever and taking a 20 minute drive by yourself listening to music, helps clear the head.

not temperature-wise until this week here.

Yes I’ve done this before. One is about 1 mile away and left and walked back before several hours later. Sometimes easier to just drive the 15 miles to supercharger and do it there in 35-40 minutes tops. Good thought though and I can start doing this again even though everything is closed...

Yeah no options. Panel 100 feet away in opposite side of house basement and not paying $2000 to charge for 5 more months. One outlet in garage. Laundry on second floor. S outta luck. :)

not driving that much really but until the last few days it’s been winter conditions here and no garage which means i have a cold soaked battery pack almost daily which takes range to heat up for any driving needs. 110v will often not even charge at all for hours due to cold if at all. Plus I...

Here’s the scenario, I sold my home in January 2020 and in a rental home for next 6 months while we build new. That means my home charging options are gone other than 110v which isn’t a suitable option. Until Covid-19 I would frequently drive to a local coffee shop or restaurant area that had...

I see it was a pricing error but to answer the language/wording question to not confuse with the boost option, my stealth mid-2019 shows exactly what you posted and “Long range all wheel drive performance”.

Traveled again this week and I guess risked this again and plugged into 110v while at same airport garage. Three times now over last few days I’ve received a message that sentry mode has triggered an alarm state. The first time I called about 40 minutes later to the garage and they didn’t recall...

short trip really and only 3 days but trying this as an experiment. I like the idea of parking over the cable too. Trying it not get too drawn into estimated miles and seems to be going up again. Just seeing if it’s a viable option to coming home with a full (90% or whatever level I deem full)...

So checked it this morning and says complete charge but now only 260. I lost 8 more miles from what I normally did just three days ago. I’m really hoping this isn’t permanent. Not sure I’ll plug in like this again when traveling.

Yeah i think this is the way to go when you travel, that is until some jackwit steals my entire mobile charger. . Saves me the vampire drain worry in very cold weather.

It’s still plugged in and set to 90%. 279 miles was normal over the summer and started to go down. It seems this fall and winter has gone down to 268 miles at 90%. Right now it says charge complete at 266 and just went down another to 265 which is a bit worrying but the battery is cold soaked...

I was worried that same degenerate would unplug and steal the cable. Not sure how much that happens or if there’s value to them for selling it on eBay it something.

All the searches I’ve done on this were basically discussions around etiquette of taking a L2 charger for an extended period but my questions are more around using and managing plugging into a basic 110V outlet at the airport for 3-8 days or longer when traveling. As a disclaimer, there are a...

I have a sleeper with white interior (black exterior) so yes they are available periodically but just harder to get. Good luck. Those seat covers don’t look that bad too.

Bought my stealth P at the end of July. I would always charge nightly to 90%, even though I wouldn't drive more than 20-30 miles a day most days. For some reason I would always charge to 90% and then unplug overnight and always 279 is what showed after hitting 90%. Then I started leaving it...

Emphasis on windshield being misted with cleaner before razor prevents scratches and have done that on literally every car with no issue. Easier IMO than polishing as it took me like 45 seconds but again whatever works for everyone.

Had that happen too when I first got it but seemed to be an easy fix. Sprayed glass cleaner all over and then used a razor scraper blade on the surface to work across entire wet surface. At first few passes, felt crunches like it was getting some hard residue off area by area that i couldn’t get...

Why not just turn the phone off before you run and leave in the car? Then you don’t have to mess with the BT issues and simply turn your phone back on when ready.

When you say new design M3 only, when exactly did that change? I assume i have the new model design as I picked my car up on Aug 1, 2019. However, as usual I am very behind everyone when it comes to software rollouts. I’m still waiting....‍♂️

Just saw this article today about another software update coming in a few weeks with a lot of significant improvements, including another 5% boost in power and more range across all model lines. Thoughts...

Guess you have to move to the Midwest. Closest 3 super chargers usually have 90% stalls free at most times. Ha! We are obviously pretty far behind California but can imagine supercharging options would be more difficult. What about charging over your lunch or doing it later at night near your...

No doubt Tesla SC’s aren’t always the first to know but in my case, I was told that the model 3’s already have the location and bracket or housing for the PWS speaker so they just need to install the speaker and bottom plate of the car with the perforations to allow sound out. Maybe someone...

Tesla service department told me otherwise. They said existing cars would need to come in for the update at some point soon.

As usual, nothing at Tesla is constant or predictable. Having free upgrades two months ago would have been nice but also feel lucky I got a M3P- during that small window. For those looking now, it’s also a good time...

Assume the weight on the string, shown in the beginning of the video, keeps autopilot from disengaging? How is that attached exactly?

First post and just picked up my stealth performance last week and first EV experience. Ironically I was thinking the exact same thing. I came from a supercharged V8 470 HP Jaguar XF which really moves but still feels like a slug compared to my Tesla. Every time I have to get in an ICE car now...
