    Level 2 charging etiquette and ideas for the future

    First a question, I use level two J1772 a lot at hotels, malls, parking structures, etc and even at airports. They are great for charging up over 5-6 hours. You can usually fill your battery in just a few hours. Here is the question: If a vehicle (let's say another Tesla) has been present for a...

    Clearing/deleting Sentry mode videos in bulk?

    I probably have accumulated 1000 sentry mode "events" and would like to clear them in bulk rather than spend 5 hrs deleting each one. Any way to "bulk" delete them to free up storage WITHOUT taking the drive out and to a home computer? Thanks.

    Samsung portable SSD T5 not connecting

    I bought the Samsung T5 because it got great reviews for dash cam and century recordings. I plug it in to the USB-C port and The little camera icon does not appear on the screen. Isn’t it supposed to connect and automatically format in the Tesla nowadays? What am I doing wrong? It is definitely...

    Perfect MY

    Just picked up my MSM/White/Perf/FSD/Towhitch MY this evening in Littleton, CO. I was originally scheduled to pick up tomorrow (Tuesday) but I called them this morning and asked if they had any openings and they fit me in at 5:30PM. My model ended up being VIN 234xx. The service center people...

    Car plugged in and charging and screen remains on.

    Just got my new MY back and have it charging. But I walk away and the screen remains on (bright charging status screen). Does it ever shut off or how do I have it turn off while it sits in my garage over night charging?

    What are the things that cant be "easily" fixed after deliver and should warrant a "refuse delivery"

    It appears that things like the tail lights and frunk/trunk alignment are a snap to "make right". Significant paint issues (not just a chip or a swirl) are likely NOT easy for the SC to fix. Assuming a buyer has some patience to let the dealer have the car for a day or two or perhaps a couple of...

    With paint and panel gap issues what is the best timing for car detail work?

    So, assuming my MY that I eventually pick up next week has some paint and alignment issues (dont most? LOL), what would be the best timing for getting tint, ceramic coat and clear bra install? Usually, I would bring the car straight to the detailer to get it "protected" but am I correct to...

    How do I pay Tesla (part loan, part cash)

    Finally got the VIN yesterday (18xxx) and finally got a delivery time (June 29th) for pick up in Superior Colorado. I ordered my MY as cash only (fully knowing I was going to finance part of it). So I applied through USAA and they approved it and sent me an email to provide to the dealer (see...

    Whats' the best way to drive to get the best efficiency on the highway

    I did a search first but couldnt find anything specific. For the current Tesla owners out there. What is the best way to drive on the highway to max out range? Obviously, keeping the speed reasonable is important. 1) What is a good efficient highway speed? 2) Autopilot or drive it your self? In...

    Is it easy to change from NEMO14-50 to Gen 3 Wall charger?

    Having an electrician install a NEMA 14-50 (Im assuming a 50amp breaker). If I decide to remove the NEMA 14-50 and go with a wall charger, does it require much "electrical work" or is it simply a matter of disconnecting the wires from the NEMA outlet and installing the Tesla Wall charger? WIll...

    For those waiting for VIN, MVPA, texts ordelivery, just know that it makes NO sense how it is done

    Here is my story... Order MSM AWD with white interior performance (no PUP) and tow hitch and FSD with Littleton, Colorado Service Center on 4/22/20... Heard nothing... Decided to order another IDENTICAL one WITHOUT tow hitch to the Superior, Colorado service center on 6/1/20 to see if that...
