    Battery charging in snow and very cold weather

    Hi, I have owned my Tesla for two years now and I have been meaning to ask this question. I charge my car to 80% every evening before going to work and leave it plugged in on weekends. I have a Tesla wall charger. On days when I know that it is snowing or if the temperature outside gets in...

    Having a difficult time choosing: Stek Nexseries vs. 3M Crystalline Tint?

    Hi, After owning my M3 for a few months I want to add a tint. Tint will include a clear front and tints on the sides and roof. After doing a lot of research I have settled on a Ceramic tint due to the heat rejection and non interference with radio waves. I originally thought that the 3M...

    Cybertruck sighting.

    I'm not buying one, but I know there is great interest. I think that this is Elon coming from dinner.

    Very interesting battery observation

    I am no battery expert but I have decided to see if there is a difference in how I charge my car. All charges are done at home. Here are a few observations: 1. The left orange readings are for charging to 85-90% from about 65% over the past few weeks. Interesting to note that the...

    Sentry Mode Woes

    Hi, So I've tried just about every concoction available (ssd, disk, usb stick, microsd/usb) and I continue to have problems with Sentry Mode. I have reports that there are events happening after the car is parked, but the Sentry Folder remains empty. After many different USB sticks and SSD...

    Is anyone else having problems with SentryCam in 2019.32.12.1?

    I can finally use my USB stick, (#4 at this point) when the 2019.32.12.1 updated the Tesla this weekend. I finally decided to use a SanDisk 128gb microsSDXC UHS-I Memory card with an Insignia USB 3.0 Memory card reader. This seems to work well. However I have noted a few things after a long...

    Vacation Charging.

    Very quick question. If you are not going to drive your car for 2 weeks, keeping it parked in the garage, do you just charge to 90% and leave it unplugged, or do you leave it plugged in for the full 2 weeks and have it charge at night on schedule (ie using Stats to charge every 3-5 days while...

    Poll Dashcam/Sentry Mode USB Failure (Mac or Windows).

    Hi folks, I have had my Tesla Model 3 for about a week now and I have begun to notice a few nuances with Dashcam and Sentry Mode. I have tried several USB sticks, finally settling on a 32 gb Sandisk model. I initially formatted the disk on my Mac to the recommended FAT-32 and placed the...

    Newbie Question: Menu turning blue during autopilot signals what?

    Hi, I am new to Tesla. I have a Model 3 AWD and ran Auto Pilot for the first time. Things were going well for a while. I had my hand on the steering wheel with my heart in my mouth of course. Everything was fine for about 5 miles and then the screen started turning blue. This was just...

    Tesla Home Charger. Redundancy. (Poll included)

    Hi, I am awaiting my LR AWD M3. So far we are preparing for the car by installing a home charging setup. A friend of mine has agreed to sell me a Tesla wall charger for a very good price since he has an extra one and I have a construction electrician coming by this weekend to set up our...

    Pedestrian warning sound standard on Model 3 at of 1 Sep 2019

    [Moderator note: existing thread about this topic is at All Model 3s built since 9/1 have a pedestrian warning speaker installed ] Since I am relatively new here I am not certain about the etiquette of posting things from another site. However someone on Tesla Owners Online stated that there...

    Tesla Fine Print.

    So I will be ordering my M3 this weekend and I couldn’t help but look at the small print on the Tesla order page. Basically, and correct me if I’m wrong here, if you return your car for whatever reason within the first seven days or before you hit 1000 miles, whichever comes first, your are...

    In 6 or 7 year loans are there penalties for early payoff?

    Hi, I am wondering if most banks offer early payoff of 60 or 72 month loans without adding extra fees? Also is the payoff the amount borrowed with whatever interest has accrued up to that point? If there is no penalty (as in Tesla's loans), then would it not be best to go with the lowest...

    Tough time choosing. LR RWD vs LR AWD

    So after two months of dilly dallying around in the ICE world , spending weekends trying Lexus, Acura and Audi to replace my 15 year old Acura I have finally decided to join the EV world. After test driving both the AWD and the RWD I am trying to figure out which one to purchase. There is a...

    Rain, Weather and Tesla Model 3

    Hello, This is my first post. I live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains a lot. Could someone who has held on to a Tesla Model 3 or other Tesla product for over a year tell me about the effect of persistent rain on the surface paint and under carriage (corrosion, rust, etc)? I have...
