    What charge level makes the car yell at you?

    I thought it only complained at 100 percent. Or maybe 95. Is it as low as 90? I scheduled the car to go to 90 percent because we were going to the zoo with the baby, but i fat-fingered the slider bar so it went to 91 percent. Well, then the baby got a fever so we didn't go, so the car charge...

    Wish it had a dead pedal on the go pedal side!

    What with adaptive cruise control for the highway and stop and go traffic, and the fact that it holds itself at lights and stop signs, I keep wishing there was somewhere to rest my right foot. Holding it up over the pedals is tiring, and i like having my foot more quickly accessable then when...

    How long until supercharging history shows up in my account?

    I was wondering if anyone had an idea how long it would take for my "history" tab to show up in the upper right of my Tesla account. It's still not there and I've had to use superchargers since I got the car on 12/9 and the electrician isn't coming until 1/2. Right now I only have "Home --...

    Does turning on the climate control before leaving home precondition the battery as well?

    On the weekends when trips are spur of the moment I turn on the climate manually from my phone to warm up the car. Is that also warming up the battery and any other associated systems? I still have limited regenerative breaking when I leave so i wasn't sure if there was something else i should...

    VERY very disappointing experience with Taptes. Beware that they won't help if your package is lost.

    I wanted to make a new thread about this but i understand if it gets added to the Taptes thread. Ages ago i ordered a full set of floor mats, a trunk mat, a frunk mat, and a key card holder from Taptes. Eventually the floor mats showed up. The second package never came and i got a notice to...

    Parked in a garage with 18% charge and no plug, will I be able to drive home later?

    Picked up my car Sunday and planned on trickle charging and hitting a super charger or two until i could get my outlet installed in my garage. Well, trickle charging doesn't work from any outlets i can reach, so i was planning on taking it to a supercharger or a level 2 tonight. Got a warning...

    Phone key issues - anyone just throw in the towel and use card or buy fob?

    My phone as key (pixel 3a) has worked maybe once as a key since I got the car on Sunday. I've resorted to keeping a key card on me and using that almost all the time. I'm sure there's troubleshooting that I can do like deleting and reinstalling the app, but has anyone just started using the key...

    How do you guys allocate your USB ports?

    I'd like to be able to charge two phones, but also have a USB to record dashcam and sentry footage. I only have 2 USB ports in the front, though. Should i get a splitter for the phones and plug the USB in directly? Use the back USB for the second phone? What do you guys recommend?

    Took delivery today in Raleigh, NC, and got a great car!

    Picked up my car this afternoon. LR AWD, white with black, 18" aeros, no FSD, ordered 10/28. As far as i can tell, it's a great build. No panel gaps. No paint issues. I'm not an expert, so maybe there's a swirl somewhere, but nothing glaring that i saw. My appointment was at 4 and i got there...

    Can i change my mind and bring a trade in to my delivery appointment?

    Got the text to schedule my appointment yesterday, and my appointment is tomorrow. No one has contacted me and i haven't been able to get in touch with anyone. I'd originally said i wouldn't trade in, but if they match CarMax i would like to change my mind and trade in. Can i just come to my...

    Insurance data points

    Just FYI and in case anyone wants to add (if there is already a place for this someone please direct me). Swapping a 2016 Subaru Outback for a 2020 M3 LR AWD was a $443 per year change. Total cost of insuring the Tesla for one year through Amica is ~$1000 in North Carolina. Two adult drivers...

    Want to absolutely confirm: I can charge off a dryer plug?

    I think I'm getting hosed by the electricians I've called because I've asked about a NEMA 14-50 outlet for a Tesla. If like to call another electrician and just ask for installing a dryer outlet, which i think is the 14-50. Just want to make ABSOLUTELY sure that I can use that to charge my car...

    Can someone suggest a tint level for me?

    I've never tinted windows before, but I'd like to not put up aftermarket window shades to block the sunlight on my kid in the car seat in the back seat. Is there a tint level that would provide similar protection? She hate it when she sun is in her eyes and the morning trip to daycare and the...

    Recommendation for a shop in NC - Research Triangle area?

    I found lots of recommendation threads for shops in CA and certain other Tesla hubs, but nothing for someone stuck in NC. Anyone have any experience with any shops working on Teslas in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area? I'm thinking some protective coating and possibly tinting of some...

    How much necessary for a family daily driver?

    I've got a white M3 on the way, and i don't want to do anything stupid to it, but I'm also questioning how much i really HAVE to do. I park in a garage at home and at work most days (sometimes on the roof level, though!). I live in NC so not much to speak of as far as winters go. This isn't a...

    Real world *specific* car seat recommendations, please!

    Hi! Hoping for recommendations for a convertible car seat used in the rear facing position that will allow the least (or possibly no?) encroachment on the passenger side. Just placed an order for a M3 and need to figure out the car seat situation to be ready when it arrives. We currently have a...
