Every time I want to watch Netflix, it makes me type in my user info and password, even though I have the "Remember me" box checked. Please let me know if you have found a way to avoid this.

Thinking I had plenty of time while shopping in Costco, I disabled Sentry Mode and started my update (to 20.4). However when we got back to the car, the screen said "Update in Progress". I thought we wouldn't be able to drive the car until the update was completed, but I thought I'd try anyway...

I don't know if this reflection problem (see picture) is just for certain brands of tint or certain intensities (mine is dark), but as you can see, the white interior casts a major reflection on the driver's (and passenger's) side rear view mirrors when it's sunny. I really like the white...

FYI: Problem when tinting windows Yesterday I had the windows tinted on my new Model 3. After leaving the shop, I immediately got a warning to the effect: "Blindspot Detection Limited, Camera Visibility Reduced". This warning would not go away and I was unable to use my Autopilot at all. At...

My 2013 Model S has halogen headlights (non-tech package) which are very dim. Several members have successfully upgraded to HID Xenon with the Kensun kits available on Amazon...

Hi Everyone: Based on my survey of best times for this meeting, we were pretty evenly split between Tuesday/Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoon. And what was best for our hosts was Tuesday, October 20. So apologies for those who can’t make this time, but we can’t please everyone. At...

Very strange. I got notice this afternoon I had a firmware update waiting to install. When I got home I told it to Install Now. When I went out to the garage a few minutes later to do something, the radio was playing and the dc charging ports were live. But the screens were both blank and...

I wonder how many of the NAV features of Firmware 6.2 will be applicable to non tech package Model Ss? Elon was very specific in his tweet about ending range anxiety applying to the entire Model S fleet. But has he mislead us? Does anyone have an firm info?

It seems the only thing of any use in 6.1 for owners without the tech package is the backup camera lines. Anyone notice any other significant improvements?

Happy New Year. Our next meeting takes place at the SDG&E Energy Innovation Center, 4760 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. The meeting is next Wednesday, 1/7. It starts at 6:30 PM and runs for about 2 hours. Unfortunately we can’t bring in food or drinks (other than water in recyclable bottles), so eat...

The first thing you should do after you buy your new Tesla is have Xpel Ultimate PPF installed on your car. (If your paint needs correction to make it perfect, of course do that before having Xpel installed). I had Xpel Ultimate installed 3 days after I got my car. For 18 months it has...

San Diego Tesla Club 10/1/14 Meeting As you probably know, our next meeting will be on Wednesday, October 1, 2014 from 6:30 – 9 PM at the SDG&E Energy Innovation Center on Claremont Mesa Blvd. Anyone who wants to schmooze can meet earlier in the parking lot. Paul Amato of Amato’s Auto Body will...

Has anyone done Vacaville SC to Harris Ranch SC without supplemental charging? i have a S85 that maxs at 253 RM.

EVTripplanner shows backtracking north to Paso Robles and taking Rt. 46 across to I-5. Goggle maps recommends taking 101 to Nipomo and then East on Rt. 166 to I-5. Looks like I could also take 101 to Santa Margarita and then Rt. 58 to I-5. If I want to avoid range anxiety, what's the best...

I'm driving from San Diego to SF, and then on to Portland. I will use evtripplanner.com to calculate RM and stop at all the SuperChargers on the way. But I don't want to overcharge as it takes too long. After calculating the route's RM between SCs using EVTripplanner, what formula between each...

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, October 1, 2014 from 6:30 – 9 PM at the SDG&E Energy Innovation Center on Claremont Mesa Blvd. Paul Amato of Amato’s Auto Body will be our main speaker. As you probably know, Amato’s is Tesla’s certified collision repair facility in San Diego. If your...

Please join the San Diego Tesla Club at our next dinner meeting on Monday, July 21 from 6:30 – 9 PM at the Del Mar Souplantation, 3804 Valley Centre Dr., San Diego 92117 It’s near the intersection of Route 56 and Carmel Creek Rd. We have the back room reserved for the club. I haven’t arranged...

The Tesla browser will log me in to my eBay account, but when I try to click on "My eBAY" to view my "Watched" list, it just can't go to the page. Anyone else have this problem?

Title says it all. Anyone done it, and if so, how much left over? If it can't be done comfortably. any intermediate places to charge that you've used?

I am staying with a friend on SW 45th Ave near SW Brace Point Dr. in Seattle. My friend doesn't have anywhere I can charge my S85. We want to take day trips and maybe a trip out to the Olympic Peninsula for a day or two. 1. Where can I charge near Fauntleroy Park? 2. Where can I charge if we...

Taking the S85 on it's first long trip from La Jolla to Seattle. Staying with friends in Los Gatos (San Jose area) and planning to make the leg from there to Vancouver WA (Portland area) in two easy days. Where is a good place to spend the night along the way? I don't need anything fancy; just...

Hi Everyone: We are now up to 165 members. Quite a difference from the 16 we had at our first meeting at my house on April 21, 2013. Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 20 at Solare Ristorante in Liberty Station, 2820 Roosevelt Rd., San Diego, CA 92106. The restaurant owner, Randy...

After several wheel rim scraps on my 19" right rear wheel, I decided I better do something before I mess up any more rims. (I wish I could blame it on my wife, but I'm sure I did it.) I did some research and came up with two options: Alloy Gators and Rimblades. I decided on Rimblades because 1)...

When I owned an ICE, I would always turn off the engine when I knew I would be stopped at a light for > 1 minute. With my MS, I don't have to worry about wasting energy at a light. But when I'm headed uphill at a long light, I still shift into "Park" so I don't have to hold my foot on the...

I just want to see if anyone else had this problem. For the last week or two, every morning when I went out to wake up the car, it asked me to add a wifi connection, like I don't have one. But I do and, in fact, it was already connected to my home network as you can see in the photo attached...

Coming back to my MS from lunch, when I tried to navigate to a website with the browser, I had a message on the screen saying "Internet Connection Lost" and then something like we're trying our best to restore it. It was strange because navigation and Slacker both worked and I had a strong 3G...

​Subject to change at their discretion. Tesla owners can now use the 7 HPWCs in front of the San Diego Tesla Service Center, located at 9250 Trade Place, San Diego CA 92126. There is no cost and the chargers are available 24/7. There are some rules being formulated, but they are very...

There should be a new sub forum listing charging sites by location: Country/State-Province/County/City/etc. I guess it would be like plugshare or recargo. But it's much easier for our members to post at TMC than those other sites, to which we may or may not belong. Posting should list things...

Just a reminder that next Sunday morning. Feb 9 at 10 AM, Bill Cosbey and his staff will welcome us with a tour of the new location of the San Diego Tesla Service Center. The new address is 9250 Trade Place. If you’re coming from a distance or just want to see how they work, you can use one of...

Bill Cosbey, Tesla Service Center Manager for the San Diego Region, will welcome all San Diego Tesla Club members on Sunday, February 9 at 10 AM with a tour of the new facilities. After the tour, we can probably have a short Q&A with Bill and/or some of the other Tesla Service Advisors. For our...

Here are some pictures of the new San Diego Tesla Service Center. It's address is 9250 Trade Place. There are 7 HPWCs outside the facility and, I believe, a total of 13 inside and out. They are not powered yet, but should be within a week or two. If you need a charge, it's best to call them...

Hi Everyone: Our meeting on Saturday, December 14 from 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM is confirmed. The location again is the SDG&E Energy Innovation Center, 4760 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego. We can gather outside beginning around 9:30 AM and go inside around 10 AM. In the winter it’s nice to have...

I don't have the tech package so I don't have navigation. But I do have google maps on the 17" touchscreen. When I want to find a destination on the map, I say "Navigate to ...." and the search results show up on the left side of the touchscreen. It usually shows several choices and I pick the...

At the last meeting of the San Diego Tesla Club, I mentioned that the San Diego Tesla UTC Store Manager, Peter Najera, was planning an event to commemorate the store’s one year anniversary. Although final details are still being firmed up, here is what I know: 1. The date is Sunday, October...

We are confirmed for Monday, October 7 at 6 PM at the SDG&E Energy Innovation Center, 4760 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego, CA 92117. The 6 PM start time will give us a chance to mingle in the parking lot for awhile before we go inside. I think many of us just like to talk to our fellow Tesla...

Our next meeting will be held Tuesday, July 23 from 6 –8 PM at the SDG&E Energy Innovation Center, 4760 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92117 We are working out the details, but hopefully we’ll do a greet in the parking lot (front or back lot; will let you know which) from 6 – 6:30 PM...

I don't have the tech package, I don't have a smartphone, and my Ipad 2 only has wifi :crying: Although I can get the web based version of Waze through the car's browser, it doesn't work in the web based version. Although Waze works as an app on my Ipad2, the Ipad2 doesn't have a sim card...

Some of our member weren’t able to attend today’s meeting comparing the 2 different shades of Formula One Pinnacle window tint and requested pictures of the event. We had over 20 members attend and, of course, it’s much easier to judge the differences in person. But this link is to a Pica album...

Attached is a pdf from Tesla that shows the different services performed annually (years 1-5) under the annual service contract, whether pre-paid or not. I hope it provides information that helps you decide whether to buy the pre-paid service plan or not. EDIT: Tesla has asked me to remove...

We now have 43 members on our email list. I went to the San Diego Service Center today to have my frunk adjusted and Bill, the manager of the Service Center, said there were over 400 Teslas in San Diego, so we only have 10% participation. So, lots of growth if we want it. Since there are many...

Evan Rowe of Auto Armour LLC. in La Jolla just wrapped my Multi-Coat Red 85 with XPEL Ultimate. I had the following areas wrapped: 1. front bumper 2. nose cone 3. head and fog lights 4. front fenders 5. full hood 6. front of outside rear view mirrors 7. "push" surface of all door handles 8...

I assume most people on this forum have purchased a pre-paid service plan. Some because they had to, before Elon's recent announcement that made it optional. Most because after spending $100K on the car, what's another $1900 or $3800 or $6300. I am not like most S buyers. I don't like to pay...

I wanted to get the weight of the mobile connector off my NEMA 14-50 receptacle, which is mounted 5 1/2 feet off the ground. I found this little swivel thing in my junk drawer, but you could easily use two 90 degree screw-in hooks. They would prevent the connector from slipping out, yet the...

Well someone needs to get the ball rolling :-). I apologize if there already is a Tesla Club in San Diego; I couldn't find it. I originally put my deposit down March 3, 2012, but wanted the Red 85, so I held on for over a year. I'm receiving my multi-coat Red 85 this Friday morning (4/19) or...

I am having an electrician run a new 50A 240V line to my garage to charge my soon-to-be-received Tesla S. He is doing this when he replaces my existing Zinsco box. I also have an existing 30A 240V dryer outlet that can be extended to the location of the Tesla plug. Is there anyway to combine...

My house was built in 1969 and has the dreaded Zinsco circuit breaker panel. As an aside, I think the house also has aluminum wiring. Anyway, as a result of the Zinsco panel, Solar City wouldn't install a Nema 14-50 outlet without replacing the panel. Probably not a bad idea to replace it...
