    Charge port door sensor fault CP_w043

    I was told in the past that charge port issues have to be dealt with at the service center since it is part of the HV system. I recently tried to schedule service (for an intermittent issue) and didn’t get mobile options. How did you get mobile service scheduled to address that?

    2nd run of camera switch that show a front image on the touch screen

    I have a complete kit that I won't be using. I had it installed in my S60 > 5 years ago, and got the additional hardware to detect forward/reverse but never installed it in our X.

    Supercharger - Oakland, CA - 2nd Street (LIVE 22 Nov 2020, 12 urban stalls)

    I was in Alameda today and was thinking of charging there for a few minutes. The Tesla nav wanted me to turn right inside the Posey tube into the parking garage and then pretended I had arrived before I was exiting the tunnel. You have to go underneath I880 before you can turn right on 7th. WTF?

    Supercharger - Gallup, NM

    Yes, but Flagstaff to Grants is close to 250 mi and not doable in most Teslas, definitely not in our X90. Would need another SC on the way such as in Holbrook.

    Colorado Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Steamboat Springs has been on the coming soon map for 2.5 years+. I’m friends with the city manager and he hasn’t heard anything about a Supercharger. I think we can write that off and enjoy Kremmling and dream of Craig.

    Phone App: iPhone/Android app

    Is is just me or are others having an issue with entering a valid phone number in the corresponding field when scheduling a service appointment in the app? It’s been an issue for months now that I have to enter a fake shortened phone number to advance past that step. My valid 10-digit number...

    Software update 2020.32.3

    AFAIK the swiping up vs. down function is opposite between the MCU in the S and X vs. the single screen in the 3 and Y. There is a little arrow indicating the swipe capability.

    What should my ideal charge percentage be?

    Well, there is the range estimate which is generated by an algorithm of which we only know a few pieces. And then there is the real battery capacity which gets affected by different factors. People have figured out in the past that charging to less than 90% may result in accumulating range...

    How to save a lot of time on long trips

    When I arrive with <10% it is my experience that charging starts relatively slowly and ramps up above 10% or so. So it doesn’t save time to charge less full and arrive that low. I presume that is done to protect nearly empty cells, and it may be different with newer batteries. Then there is...

    Supercharger - Centennial, CO

    Craig would be great. A couple of weeks ago we drove our X90D from Steamboat to I-80 west. Left in Steamboat with 100%, charged for 30 min in Craig at the Electricity Company L2 charger (outside of town, nothing to walk to) and made it to Rock Springs SC with 17 miles range. You could see the...

    Fridge/Freezer that fits the Model X is on sale

    On a recent road trip the 12V in the trunk apparently stayed on the first two nights while plugged into Tesla destination HPWC. Later, when plugged into a 110 V 15A outlet in a garage it was clearly off, and cooked our food inside the hot garage. During all the time parked, sentry was on. I'm...

    Supercharger - Lovelock, NV

    Chargers 1A and 1B are having problems, probably overheating. We couldn’t get 1A to start a charging session. The MX at 2A had intermittent problems trying both. We tried 1B and got a max of 63kW which quickly went down to <20. 2B was ok after it opened up but dropped to <60 for a while, then...

    schedule for charging

    Visible Tesla lets you schedule charging like that, among other things. It’s old, not supported and needs a Mac or PC running all the time. I still use it. VisibleTesla

    The delay could probably be easily implemented in the kit video switch box. I wouldn’t expect @artsci to modify his design, but it could be a mod of a mod ;-)

    Model X Crash on US-101 (Mountain View, CA)

    Exactly. I was taught the 2 second rule as part of driving instruction. You can be safe with a shorter following distance IF you look ahead and pay attention to what’s happening several cars in front. Many (most?) drivers seem to ignore those rules.

    2017 MX Shuts Down dangerously on Expressway–I'm losing faith in Tesla and my car

    Regarding warning blinkers/flashers: I believe you just lose the audio feedback - the blinkers keep working while the MCU is rebooting or out. It feels scary but is not as dangerous as you thought. Still unsettling, but at least you were stopped ...

    Anyone stuck on 2018.12?

    I got the update from 2018.12 to 2018.20.5 at the service center yesterday, after I had some glitches with the MCU not waking up in the morning. Central service phone support suggested that I was fairly far behind in updates. We did some resets and after that didn’t fix it they contacted the...

    Home Wall Connector Installation - Circuit Breaker Size?

    It’s not so much about idle charger power. When the car is done charging, opening the door or otherwise turning on A/C will draw power about that much.

    A Better Routeplanner

    That makes sense. Instead of you being responsible for that, could you instead ask the user in the settings to enter a pair of % and miles/km range such as for my X 90D 90% = 230 mi That would take care of the conversion for each car, wouldn’t it?

    Supercharger - Beaver, UT

    Charged at 1A on 17 May 2018. Normal charge rate starting at >100 kW at 41%. Had decent dinner at the Timberline Restaurant. Used the touchless car wash to reduce the dust and bugs accumulated at Capitol Reef NP, worked really well!

One suggestion (tell me if it’s there already...

    Software Update 2018.16
