TL;DR Well it's dead again kinda curious what it is hopefully the rear motor since it's under warranty. Today I was charging as normal at a supercharger and I unplugged then get in the car and got the ding ding oh **** sound. Vehicle unable to start, acceleration and top speed reduced...

My stock rear sub has finlly crapped out at 10 years and 205k miles. I'd prefer just a drop in replacement no need to get all crazy and wire in an amp and crap like we all did to the cars in high school, just want a 1 for 1 swap. I've always had good luck with kicker and Pioneer equipment...

My air suspension light keeps coming on every couple drives recently. I can still adjust the car up and down on the screen and it works as it should and it auto levels when I'm stopped like it's supposed to. I don't hear any air leaks while parked and it seems to be working normally. In service...

I was out driving today and as I drove around a parking lot I started hearing a quiet thunk sound that was as the equal speed to the wheel speed rotation. I sped up as does it I slow down as does it. Well since I was out and about I just kept rolling because I had *sugar* to do and then drove home...

The newest OTA update is to fix the font of a dash light, a goddamned ****ing font and it's being called a recall‽ Is it a recall when my Pixel 6 got an OTA update to fix a security patch? No! I just don't get why these ass clowns insist on calling everything a damn recall. A recall is when...

I got the notice to install this update I'm currently on 2023.44.1 but with the whole NHTSA stuff I don't wanna install an update that'll make the car suck like when they nerfed the supercharging speed of my old 85 pack and I didn't know till after it was installed. Has anyone installed it and...

Just got my car back from service getting a new motor (got the U variant 😎) Anyway the tech said he noticed the wheel ticks and said it will need a new steering rack but apparently since I was in for such a major component I have to make a new appt for this. Anyway it is possible there is...

Why the hell do they call it vegan leather instead of what it is… Pleather? Is it just marketing because pleather has a bad name? We've made advances in pleather tech it's much better that it was in the 90's. Obviously it's not leather by any stretch of the imagination because it's vegan...

I got a few errors this morning when I went to go drive see pic for error list. Anyone know what these errors usually mean broke? Last time I got a vehicle may not restart error it was the rear large drive unit like 5k miles ago which I had replaced.

A couple months ago I sat down and talked to Brian about towing with my car and figured y'all might wanna check it out. I'm not a huge fan of talking to cameras so off the cuff I was forgetting things but overall it's a good video

First let me say I live full time in my RV so I'm a constant tourist. Anyway I was out driving to DC and the "vehicle may not restart" error came up but then went away like 30 seconds later and I was like 5 min from where I was going so I just went. I parked and walked away for like 10 min and...

I have a 2014 P100D model S and I got the vehicle will not start and other BMS errors yesterday so I was able to drive it to to the service center and they said it's a isolation prob and they're gonna do a full diagnostic on the lift today to find the actual issue. Anyway they were super...

I was driving a couple days ago in a rainstorm and suddenly I got the cruise not available and AP may be available on next drive. I figured probably a few leaves or something got stuck on the bumper area but it's clear. Well I've done a power cycle, I've don't the 2 thumbs reset, I've installed...

I am at like 180k miles and figured i should get around to flushing the brake lines with new fluid. I was looking at the service manual and it says to use BASF Hydraulan 404. can i just go to autozone and grab any DOT 4 fluid or is that some weird spec i gotta look for.

I'm out at a campground and when I checked in they were like hey we have a Tesla charger so you don't need to use the outlets at your site. I usually just charge at 40A at my campsite but figured what the hell it's there why not use it instead. I plugged in and it's a gen2!!!! So it went...

Now that I have a 100 pack I'm having trouble getting grip as I zip around traffic 😂 I have the 19" rims I think they are called the base, I love the look and I powder coated them black and it's slick BTW. Currently I have the stock 245/45/19 on there. Could I fit a 255 on all 4 of them...

I just finished my trip from NV to NC and back to get my battery upgraded from @wk057 I went from a P85D to a P100DL, my battery was in great condition and according to recurrent it was actually much better the others on the road, but i wanted more range and faster charging so it was time to...

I installed a new window regulator in the driver's door the other day. While driving and the window is closed I can hear wind whistling in. Best I can tell the window is seated in the track right and it's perfect aligned just like the pass front window. But when I shut the door and it raises...

I got the CCS retrofit yesterday at Tesla and took the car home and charged it just fine at the house, (obv AC charging is different than DC we all know this already). Today I was road tripping and got to my first charge stop (supercharger) aaaannnnddddd… nothing. Plugged in and the blue light...

Got my car back from the body shop after getting a new free paint job (sand storm damage). And they installed new mirrors amongst other things and the mirrors are all screwy. Like they will not fold using the fold button on the door or on the screen. Also the moving will only work for like a min...

As the title says i finally just gave up and decided to just buy the 5 gallons of Mobil SHC 629. I know i said the service center said they were gonna toss in ATF and thought I'd just do that too, but since my 8 years has expired i feel more comfortable using the spec they originally said which...

I put the car in service mode out of curiosity and it popped up with the same errors over and over again. I downloaded the alert code document from the service.tesla site and not a single one of these errors is in that document 🤦‍♂️ PM_w041_dasMIA EPAS_d037_KFC_FOR_LENGTH...

We all know the front motor is oil cooled and then there is an oil to water cooler as well. And the rear motor is water cooled. But nobody seems to know what is a good temp for either motor. So post your temps so we can get a good idea of what they should be. And what model you have Use any...

I was out driving today and I got the yellow lines. Normally those pop up when the battery is low or if it's cold or if it's hot. But none of those things are happening and I'd been driving for 20 min already before it popped up. As you can see I'm at 52% and the battery is not cold or hot. I...

I was out roadtesting my trailer the other day to get the most accurate data for ABRP. Anyway I opened up SMT to check out my BMS and also took a look at my temps and the motors were a bit warm. But how hot is too hot? Like what's the green, amber, red temps for the motors anyone know? The...

I love using ABRP for trip planning and will be doing it more and more as I tow more often. For the reference wh/mi spot is it supposed to be flat for 15 miles at 65mph or flat'ish, or just the same trip in both directions ight after the other. Because flat doesn't exist in So-Cal but I have a...

I already travel a lot and (knock on wood) have not had tire issues. But I will be traveling a lot more once I retire and start driving around the country. I am looking for a reliable air compressor that I can inflate a tire with should I get a nail, screw, etc in my tire. Or even if I'm out...

My car came stock with the staggered 265/35/21 and 245/35/21 tires. I have a second set of rims/tires for snow (255/40/20) but they are only on there for like a week at a time, i swap them when i dive to the snow and back to summers when I'm down in the desert. Since they are only on there for a...

I put in a trip on ABRP and it says i need to charge for 7 minutes and leave at 79% to arrive at 10% at the next charger. but when i put in the same trip into the car it says i need to charge for 45 minutes which would be about 95-100% to make it to the next charger. The setting in ABRP say 325...

I got the replace 12v battery last week and just bought one from Tesla yesterday and installed it this morning. When I was pulling out the old battery I noticed it was bulging on the sides so I'm glad I replaced it. But then I was thinking and I just replaced that damn thing like 6-10 months...

So apparently they took away the spacebar and special characters menu on the keyboard. So now I can't login to ANYTHING or search locations in the navigation either. Anyone else have this going on? Or find a fix? Software 2022.36.2

i want to trade someone my 21" for their 19" rims. 3 of the rims are in good condition but have some scuffs and chips, one is brand new. tread is at 5/32" on the tires. This would need to be someone in CA, AZ, or NV as I'm not going to ship because the cost would be astronomical.

My left headlight goes out while driving sometimes, I can get it to turn back on by hitting off waiting a second then hitting on or auto. I don't know about these fancy HID bulbs so I'm guessing that since the light turns on and off it's the ballast otherwise it wouldn't turn on at all? Yeah...

I remember beck when i got my car the CHAdeMO was a software upgrade you had to pay for so i didn't bother with it. But now I'm going to be doing a lot more traveling next year once i retire and it would be nice to have a backup charger for those stretches' where tesla has a few charging...

I am installing a 200w solar panel on my trailer and I'm getting a 40A MPPT charge controller that will charge a 200Ah lithium battery. I know i need to have a lithium specific charge controller coming off the solar panel. But what about for the power that comes from the main inverter when I'm...

My car has been cutting off the AC when I pass more than it used to and it's only 105f outside. It used to only cut the AC when I was doing a lot more passing than I've been doing recently. And yeah I've lived in the desert for 4 years so I've got a pretty good baseline of temps and actions from...

They finally brought back the destination percentage so it's visible when the thing is in small mode not just when its super zoomed out with all the turns. Finally am update that actually improved something, too bad it was already there and they just took it away some years back for no reason...

Since y'all have a car that supports towing and i'm about to install a hitch on my S i figured i'd post this question in the X area. Is there any extra parts on the frame that the X has with the tow bar? Or is it just as simple as installing a tow bar on any car? Like i put a trailer hitch on...

I'm trying to install trailer lights but this damn car is not playing friendly. Everything works except the tail lights. If I hook it to the right side tail wire it turns on when the turn signal is on. And if I hook to the left side tail light wire I'd does the same but only when the left...

I am looking at buying a bushwhacker 10HD trailer to tow behind my Tesla, its only 1300lbs and fully loaded for me will prob be in the 1800lb area. the trailer comes with electric brakes but would it really be necessary to install a brake controller? I know the X and Y have a plug under the dash...

I'm looking at all options right now. Currently just having a tent seems the easiest but maybe a tiny trailer that would fit me and the dog would be cool because I could mod it to have like a small cooking area on the back or something, like tool storage cabinets, I dono just spitballing. Also...

This has been an issue for over a year but I've never gotten around to trying to tackle it because it's just a minor inconvenience rather than an actual problem. So the left 2 vents the one for the driver the air speed coming out of them is slower than the air coming out of the right 2 vents at...

I was up visiting a friend and he has a 2016 75D with the metal roof and I'd never been inside one (metal roof) and i happened to draw the short straw so i was in the backseat. I had to sit behind the driver and there was a serious lack of headroom in that thing. I had to slouch super low and...

I recently found out there are roof top tents and they are awesome! Here is a random example of one if you're not aware of what I'm talking about but there are many different ones from many companies. Does anyone on here have one or able to recommend a brand/model? There are hundreds of...

Anyone else having this happen where the app says you charged at an "other" location when you don't? I know other would be like somewhere besides home or a supercharger but with the exception of when I visit my mom and use her HPWC, (which I've not done at all in the last 2 months) I literally...

I'm sure everyone has encountered it at one point or another where the nav says stay below 85 to make it to your destination. Or stay below whatever speed to make it. This morning I was driving south from Vegas on the 15 and I left town at 85% and the car said I'd get to yermo at 15%. So I took...

I will be getting my car painted early next year and i am debating over the color to get. Mine is the dark grey metallic and its looks ok but its too common and bland so its gotta go. I was originally thinking of the forest green that was only offered for such a short time by tesla but there is...

I have an 11 year old beagle/basset and I adopted him about 3 years ago. He's super awesome and a great dog. But when I leave to go to work he goes ****ing bonkers and doesn't stop barking for 15-30 min after I leave. During this time he tries to make his way to where he last saw me which means...

I've posted this question to an RV forum but figured I'd ask y'all as well. I will be retiring next year (April 2023) and I don't have a house due to the insane prices they currently are. I had an opportunity to buy a house in 2015 but I didn't want to buy in North Carolina because I hate that...

I built a CAN to OBD2 adapter a couple years ago to use SMT and I've had to rebuild it a few times now and just fixed it again, this time I'd hoped it was the final fix. The problem is the wires are so damn small it doesn't take much force to break them off. I try to only pull from the plastic...
