    Navigation Issues/Questions

    I wish there was a way to submit feature requests for the Navigation system. It could just be so much smarter, particularly when you are going on an extended trip. Options/Features would be: 1. List all of the Superchargers along the route to your final destination (also showing which are level...

    How bad are Falcon Wing doors?

    I love my FWDs. I have not had any of the problems mentioned and I live in a snowy/rainy area. If there is only one negative, it is cleaning them as I live on a dirt road, and getting the dirt out of the crevasses on top requires being fastidious.

    How Many Roadsters are Left?

    How would you count Elon's that is floating around in space? It is not on the road, but it should be alive and well.

    Wow, we need to find another way to heat EVs

    As pointed out in this thread, there are things that can be done to increase range in colder temperatures (speed being the biggest). There is a definite difference (decrease) in range in colder temperatures. Pre-heating the cabin helps a bunch as it gets both the cabin and the battery up to a...

    What to do in first 7 days

    "I had shudder in my 2018 and got it fixed two weeks ago." Are you referring to a funky sound that seems to come from the front motor on reasonably hard acceleration and also feels in the steering wheel? I really don't know how to describe the sound and feeling, but it is something that was...

    Off-Grid Test with fully charged PowerWalls

    I didn't need to run the test, the power company forced it on me last week. After installing the Powerwall2, we started having problems with our heat pumps. After much finger-pointing, it was finally determined that the Grid supply was too high voltage (ranging from 244 to 255 volts) although...

    No contacts from phone on 2019.32.11

    Everyone seems to be talking about how the contacts do not sync -- that has not been my problem, generally speaking. However, I have the following problem: all of my contacts live on my computer (Mac) and iPad, but only a small selection of contacts live on my iPhone (X). When i sync contacts to...

    Features I had to give up when I bought a Tesla

    On balance the features you gained far exceed those left in ICE and with the continuing software updates, they keep growing. The only changes made to an ICE vehicle after purchase is because of recall as the manufacturers want to incentivize future purchases of vehicles and not reward its...

    New breed of Model 3 drivers out there.

    Don't lose your manners. Tesla drivers should continue to wave or flash their lights - united, we can show others how being part of the EV community is the future of individualized transportation.

    How long does a Powerwall support a home during a power outage?

    Agreed. The cost of UPS's are so cheap these days, and they are typically good for 3+ years before needing battery replacement, that it is a relatively small investment -vs- having to replace a computer, a big television, or any other major sensitive electronics, let alone the time lost having...

    Winter driving advice, winter tire choices, etc.

    Thank you NicholB for your comprehensive winter experience list. I have a Model X which is AWD and have to say that the winter handling is amazing because the car is so well balanced, front to back, unlike ICE vehicles. I did put on Bridgestone Blizzak's (20") all around and highly recommend...
