You're welcome to do what you want to do. But I'm a US diplomat in charge of helping Americans in Sonora and Sinaloa. That's all I do, full time. And there are people who need help every single day, often on the roads. I'm not saying you're likely to get robbed or die. I'm saying it's not worth...

Please don’t make that drive if it opens. We just had a ton of violence in Culiacán out of nowhere and a lot of Americans needed assistance. Dozens carjacked. Obregón is just as dangerous as well. People make the drive safely all the time, but I really do not advise it. There are carjackings and...

I'm glad you haven't. My job is to help the people who do have issues and there are a lot of them. Enough to keep me and a team of 6 others busy, and that's with us only helping US citizens.

I haven't heard of any plans, though I haven't paid much attention to it since the USG recommendation is not to make that drive.

I have the car set to departure at 7:15 AM. It cools, I get to work at 7:30, and the car properly locks when I walk away. at 9:15 I get a notification saying that climate has been on for 2 hours, so it is turning off. When I check the temperature in the app and the history in teslafi, it is...

I assume this is fine. I replaced my 12v battery here in Mexico with a similar one from autozone (different manufacturer, but same size, shape, etc). The only difference is that the replacement battery doesn't have a vent hole for the vent tube to plug into. No problems right? Ironically, I...

Santa Ana says it is up and running on the app. It shows 4 stalls available. I won't be by for a month but I'll charge on a trip in October.

I stopped by the chargers in Santa Ana last Wednesday and was told they would be ready this week. I stopped by today and was told they'll be ready next week. I anticipate they'll be ready by mid 2023.

I work in Mexico and I drive my Tesla around with no worries. I also write the travel advisories for the state department and warnings when things go wrong, such as the one quoted above. Having a Tesla hasn’t made me feel any differently than driving a bmw or Mercedes’ (of which there are plenty...

Santa Ana Isn't ready yet. I made it from Tucson to Hermosillo without stopping in my 3 but I am too cautious to do the return trip without a stop in Nogales at the fiesta inn still

My understanding is that it's inside the trunk, not on the door.

Any clue how long we can expect to wait for these? I am driving up to the states end of July and again end of august. Would love to be able to use them, especially on my way back down to Mexico.

Yes it is new. Maybe that is it then. I had one die a year ago. This one had been OK until about a week or two ago.

I thought about it. I haven't because it'd have to run all day long. It's 115+ outside already. Might be a good idea anyway. I don't pay for my electricity.

I'm going into my fourth external storage for sentry and dash cam. My guess is that they are too hot while in park as the car reaches 140+ degrees every day here for 7-8 months. Any thoughts on if that's the cause? I ordered this to see if it'll work as operating temp seems better Portable...

Thanks for the photos of the Santa Ana SCs. I saw a news article on them. Do you live nearby? Curious when they'll be online. I'm glad they picked that restaurant to install them. It was the only place to charge with a destination charger previously.

I Spider-Man it too

I love spoiling other people's fun for my own amusement but many of yall need to lighten up. I'm going to track you down and wave at you with big mickey mouse gloves on until you return the wave.

Put it in a ziploc bag with rice and it'll be fine.

I was quoted $850 in mexico. Want to go on vacation for a week?

I think any bodyshop could handle that.

Depends on if we are talking Tesla factory condition or like hyundai condition. I could get Tesla factory condition with my daughter’s water colors and a sharpie.

probably should replace both but honestly it's not the end of the world. If it is a headache to get the other one, I personally wouldn't bother.

Usaa quoted me $900 after I got hit by a landslide. Total cost ended up being 15,000.

10 miles a day? Is sentri on? My car has been parked for 5 weeks and has lost 3%

A year in and I still have no idea when I search something if it will be playing from Spotify or not. But the biggest is apple car play. Also why does my GPS being me weird routes that take 20 minutes longer than Google maps?

slightly related. i can't respond by voice to any texts from my wife. it works for everybody else. no idea why.

I have an appointment at this place in DC CityCenterDC for light paint correction and ceramic ($50 extra to add ceramic). I've seen crazy prices on here, so I'm wondering if I should be wary of this place. It seems to have great reviews. Normally I wouldn't get ceramic but for $50 extra, I think...

Tesla doesn't give any value for fsd in trade in cars right? To me it's not worth the money but that would go double if I was trading in eventually.

I like it because it doesn’t wake the car when I use it like the official app. I can’t plug in at home so phantom drain (which I can also track on Fi) is a big deal.

You're failing to think of the aerodynamics. The T logo on the left will create uneven turbulence on the right, causing the car to veer out of control at any speed over mach 40.

Does anybody know if there will be any SCs in Sonora any time soon? From Hermosillo north?

Do you have data in Mexico in big cities? I’ll be in Hermosillo for 3 years with mine.

From the manual: Parking Brake To engage the parking brake, touch Controls > Safety & Security > Parking Brake and follow the onscreen instructions. You can also engage the parking brake by pressing and holding the button on the end of the drive stalk while in Park. When you manually apply...

The wait time is only a few minutes with a SENTRI card so I'm not concerned about that. Hopefully I won't need a tow but it wouldn't be the end of the world either I guess. No problems with the car so far and I have at least 6 months to find any problems before I'm in mexico.

Bad news for me! I bought the car but won't be in mexico for a while. Hopefully it works.

Plastic or rubber coated tools, but you’ll be fine

Great list, thanks

I have a 2018 LR that I bought used two months ago. Range display is 299 full. I'm getting 235 wh/mile over 2,000 miles or so but mostly under 50 mph. I assume it'll go up this trip on all highway driving. I've watched a few road trip videos and used ABRP. Two hotels I will stay at have...

This is why I'm buying one on the west coast and driving it to Virginia for my six month stay for training

Be careful, the previous owner of my car used one every day and it really messed up the paint. Dust gets between the cover and can leave swirl marks, even on a high quality cover.

Does adjusting the car lengths not fix this? I only have EAP but I put it at 2 car lengths on city streets and 3 on the highway.

I'm at 232 in my LR AWD. Bought used, about 2,000 miles driving since May.

If you Google tesla model 3 frunk clips, you'll find a link to buy them.

The model 3 was the best selling foreign car in Korea a couple of quarters recently. Not sure if still true. Timmy clearly is rambling without facts regarding kia and whatnot.

This won't apply if he is SOFA. OP, I'd check to make sure superchargers will work. I'm not sure if you can charge at home easily. Pyeongtaek is new but I don't think it has any charging infrastructure if you live on base. I think it'd probably work out though and I would do it if I were...

I'm jealous of all those chargers. I have a 240 mile stretch without any at all. Hoping tesla builds one in between soon.

I'm guessing this is user error, especially if you're looking for a city that isn't on Google. It works for me to small towns in mexico of all places.

My interior gets up to the 160s. Any idea how much cooler this would make it? Assuming I pair with a windshield cover too
