Seen on my way back from Salt Lake City, captured by TeslaCam:

A child was shot and killed in a road rage this morning 7:55am-8:15am on the 55 Freeway Northbound near Chapman. If your TeslaCam has footage, save it for CHP 714 567 6000. One of many articles. Child fatally shot in apparent road rage incident on 55 Fwy in Orange Spread the word, somebody's...

Took my MX in for the 6th time, same problem, but this time I was given a loaner car through Enterprise right at the Rancho Cucamonga Service Center. They gave me a 2020 BMW 530i, so not a Yaris or Fit. The handling of service appointments has improved as well. This is a good direction to go...

https://twitter.com/hashtag/Voltswagen?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Is it a hoax for April 1?

One year of Tesla MX ownership today. Seats are good for about 3 hours maximum for me. Average real life range when driving long distances is about 270 miles. 333 Wh average fuel economy. Cellular integration still weaker than most other cars. One major powertrain failure. 351 miles range now...

I'm looking for snow rims and would like to run the smallest wheel dia and narrowest rim.

The charging shut down on my Tesla this AM (set at 48 amps). I noticed the cable from the HPWC to the car is "bubbled" in many places indicating excessive heat. The bubbling starts at about 10" from the handle end and extends about 6 feet. The handle was hotter than the cable to the touch...

The iPhone was talking to the car this morning. I accidently left work today without my iPhone and it was playing from an iPhone playlist. When the music stopped so did Bluetooth functions. I've deleted all the BT devices on both the phone and car, rebooted the car >10 times, drove to the...

Dear EVnut, Did you see the exciting news?! We are tripling the size of our public fast charging network over the next five years – adding more than 2,700 public fast chargers in 40 metro areas through a partnership with General Motors (GM) to make it even easier to go electric. EVgo is...

We took our 2020 Model X Long Range Plus on a 1,000 mile round trip this weekend. This gave us a chance to test the new "Enhanced Charging Speed" update with a 250 kW Supercharger at the Linq Hotel in Las Vegas. The first time were hooked up to it we were at 21% SOC. It quickly climbed to 198...

With my other cars I can check all our cars by cellphone to see if the tires have a slow leak. How do I do this with Teslas?

This puppy is needs to be hit the showrooms: Ford unveils the Mustang Mach-E 1400, a Mach-E with 1400 horsepower!

Or so they say. For $64,200 (qualifies for Fed $7500) you get an AWD 402HP four-door hatchback with trailer hitch. Seems just smaller than the eTron. It has modern features: Pilot Assist (AP) Adaptive Cruise Control Blind Spot Information system with steer assist Cross Traffic Alert with...

We were there checking it out, and on the way out heard a group of employees discussing "the shutdown" at the end of the day. Then on the Petersen site, it says temporarily closed. So you if you have tickets, you should check before heading out.

How do you receive a text with an address, then push it into navigation?

My car came with a roof shade. But the packages says Model 3. Did they give me the wrong P/N?

Over 100 seconds. Is this new? Seems like when I took delivery it was perhaps 20 seconds.

Today was a bad day. I pissed off a customer big time because I drive a Tesla. The customer texted me to meet them somewhere while I was driving. However, one more time at what appears to be random, it switched user profiles so the car did not acknowledge the text. Now since 12 noon, every...

Just arrived. I'm on the early list for both the Rivian and Cybertruck.

My alarm went off at work, and I hightailed down there. But instead of my shop, it was a truck that was being burglarized. As I was pulling in, it caught the perp on vid. The vid before it shows him breaking into the service body compartments. Sheriff wanted the vid so I sent it out.

$79,990 for Long Range Plus.

Car is two months old, 2000 miles, and there is literally a hundred paint chips on the hood. :( My 2006 vehicle with 110,000 miles on it doesn't have half the chips on the nose. I wish I bought it in white. That's the color underneath the blue.

Is it erroring to the music?

I started out light, probably 800lb: A heavy duty motorcycle trailer, and one motorcycle. I only went 50 miles, averaged 360 Wh/mi, at 55-65 mph. Love the rear camera, you can truly line up the ball with it. However, the fisheye effect made it look like the bike was leaning over. Still...

1) When backing, it can be very difficult to get the rear camera on if it turns off. It won't work by voice command, you must select the camera icon to make it work. 2) There is no pedestrian alert when backing. I nearly ran over a runner just now. He was not visible when I put it in...

Anyone know what this flash is really for? I know they post "release notes" but they sometimes say the things over again.

I'm a train wreck, well, everything but a train. My doctor said to get more collagen in my diet. "What is collagen?", he replied "a protein found in Jello, whole chicken, whole fish, etc." Jello? Eh... Sure I can eat that, but not with all that sugar. So sugar-free it is. And I now feel...

Say it ain't so Joe! Say it ain't so! Tesla's latest Autopilot feature is slowing down for green lights, too - CNN Tesla's intersection control system reduces speed no matter what the traffic lights display. This is not a bad thing like so many people are claiming. From decades on motorcycles...

I spotted something at the C8 rollout at the Petersen Museum and discussed this with the engineers. There was a mount for a front electric motor in the aluminum frame. Hmmm... Now the cat is out the bag. A KERS Corvette. Mid-engine C8 Chevrolet Corvette Zora reportedly hybrid with 1,000 hp...

One of the reasons I selected the Tesla Model X for our business is that it is said to support 277 volt AC. While there are Gen 2 HPWC's in the Online Tesla Store, they actually ship you a Gen 3. Which Tesla EVSEs support 277v? Does a 2020 Raven Tesla charge at 277? Nobody at Tesla seems to...

2020.12.5 Raven AP3, no FSD. I've never had AP lock me out or even give more than a single warning, and that only happened early on when I had to learn the 'feel' of the necessary feedback it wanted. Today on the freeway, I was in TACC+Autosteering when I floored it to pass a truck in front...

This is free right now. It apparently works with WiFi enabled garage door openers and MyQ openers.

When you are asking a question or writing a help piece that is not Model Specific where do you put it? Example: EVE Connect for Tesla app. This tells you your status of the garage from anywhere. Like MyQ does. But there are many other such non-model specific Tesla questions that are not...

These have been out of stock and people are scalping them on Ebay.

I was enlightened yesterday. Two observations occurred. As I was leaving, my wife started to talk to me. Normally I have to roll down the window to have a conversation. Not in a Model X. You don't even have to raise your voice. So it's a feature! Not a bug! ;) I was going to evaluate...

I imagine this is old information. I've been using USB music sticks for a long time and have hundreds of songs. When I bought my Tesla I assumed it would just be Play-n-Play. Wrong. Over a hundred songs gave Read Errors, and they were all from certain albums I had transferred to USB. At...

Best I can guess is the owner can't hire anyone who has done a user-interface before. I signed up so I could see what it was. It didn't give me much info. I forgot about for awhile, then I tried to play with it again, and it asked for money. So I paid it money. And nothing. No response to a...

I just realized my "virtual car" on the console shows a Model X emblem on the left side rear of the car. Opposite the Dual Motor emblem. Do the cars come with this or not?

And the newest Tesla Model X? I want to set up a HPWC at work, and 277 is faster than 208 at the same amp setting.

On a cool day (72°F) full regen is not available until 80% or lower SOC. The yellow warning band does not appear, it just will not move the power needle all the way up to 60kW+. This is lowest threshold I've ever seen in an EV. Many are 90% or higher. This indicates a smaller top buffer than...

Arrgghh. I've never had to deal with this. The car had what looked like hand smudges on the front the car. It has been raining everyday. Today I get a chance to hand wash it and wax it in gaps between showers. Well, they are not hand smudges. It appears they burned the clear coat with a...

Car arrived 3/09/20 to Costa Mesa. Built in February, VIN is F260xxx. Listed as LR+. The dashboard and touch screen has always said Long Range Plus, and so does the Monroney sticker (351 mi range). My first 100 miles I calculated that it was going to come out at 292 mi by driving and map...

What am I doing wrong? I select the iPhone as music source from the center console, and up pops two buttons: iPhone Add Device My iPhone is already married successfully to the car, but when I select iPhone it does nothing. I also have a Samsung Note 10 that I don't know how to use (gift) if...

We purchased a new inventory MX Long Range Plus. Odd story: We ordered it, then shortly afterwards they announce the LR+ version. I had not been assigned a VIN, and projected delivery was 6-8 weeks, so I called them and told them I want to make sure my car is LR+ if there is such a thing...

I thought I knew the answer to this. I thought the New Car Buyer gets Free SC, and they can sell it with Free SC. However the second owner has no further transferability: Tesla Inventory New Car 8 miles (yup): "Free Unlimited Supercharging is available to the next buyer of this car but is...
