Can any one take a culture of the fungus or bacteria growing in the filter, grow it in a Petri dish and send it to a lab to work out what it is? Then we might be able to work out the most effective means to kill it.

There's quite a comprehensive review of the Tesla Vision replacement for USS in this YouTube video in case people are interested

I bought the Heyner Ultralift L Pro for cars up to 2.8 tons or approximately 6200 lbs. This weight rating is sufficient for any tesla model. https://h-premium.de/en/products/emergency-safety/scissor-jacks/874/premium-scissor-jack-2-ton

I suspect that this may turn out a bit like the tesla radar removal debacle. For a few years tesla will deliver cars without ultrasonics and try to make do with a software + camera based solution. Customers will have to live with various deficiencies with that approach. Eventually tesla will...

Is the Porsche jack even rated to lift the weight of a Model 3? Original poster claims it's rated for 2200 lbs. An empty Model 3 weighs about 4000 lbs. Rule of thumb is that the jack should be rated for a least 75% of the weight of the vehicle. 75% x 4000 = 3000 lbs. So a 2200 lb jack doesn't...

You guessed incorrectly. Tesla was going to deliver a MX to me in December and I got them to check if my assigned VIN had USS. It did not, so I refused to take delivery. They assured me that the proximity features I originally ordered back in March would be "returned soon via a software update"...

My current order has FSD, my current MY has FSD and I want my MX to have FSD. Like you, I have doubts that HW3 will ever be capable of level 4+ despite Elon's optimism over the last 9 years: https://jalopnik.com/elon-musk-promises-full-self-driving-next-year-for-th-1848432496 This section of...

I never said that I would cancel and immediately re-order. What I said was that I would wait until the distance measurement feature (and possibly additional other features like HW4) was introduced before re-ordering. This way I would know that the Tesla they deliver to me is capable of distance...

There would be several potential benefits in canceling: 1) Tesla does not have a good reputation for delivering features in a complete and timely manner. If it takes years for Tesla Vision to reach feature parity with Ultrasonic equipped 2022 models then I will not have to live without these...

Suddenly this week I was assigned a VIN and a Mid December delivery window for a LR MX with FSD I ordered in June 2021. The previous Friday the window had been showing as end of Jan to end of March. I exchanged text messages with the tesla representative to confirm what capabilities my car...

I am due to get delivery of a Model X between Jan-Mar 2023. I am concerned by the news that Tesla plans to remove ultrasonic sensors from all Tesla cars. I know that there are currently multiple ultrasonic sensors in the MX to be able to safely open the gullwing doors...

I would have thought that it would go without saying that if you are paying to install a tesla wall charger, whose main purpose is to charge more quickly at higher amps that any solution proposed by the electrician should at a minimum be capable of the max 48A of the charger. At a minimum one...

Does any of the advice on appropriate tesla charger wire sizing change as a result of the 2020 updates to the code here? https://www.electricallicenserenewal.com/Electrical-Continuing-Education-Courses/NEC-Content.php?sectionID=818.0 210.19(A)(1) General. Branch-circuit conductors shall have an...

Does burying the wire in a wall that is then filled with closed cell spray foam insulation impact the choice of appropriate wire type and gauge for a tesla gen3 charger? The calculator recommended by @kishkaru does not have an option to calculate this, but I would imagine that a wire surrounded...

The release notes shown in my Tesla don't say anything about requiring 2021.36 and the FAQ page on the Tesla website says that firmware version 2021.32.22 is required. Having said that, my Tesla meets all the requirements in the FAQ and yet I still don't see a safety score in the app.

There was another discovery on my adventure with Tesla Energy that might be of interest to people who live in states like NJ where you get TRECs - Transition Renewable Energy Credits. TRECs are paid in NJ to incentivize solar production at a rate of $91.20 for every 1000 kWh of solar production...

Yes, I believe you are correct now you mention it.

Maybe that's also part of the problem - probably all the tesla solar designers live in California and only know California code.

Perhaps that's where I went wrong - I should have redrawn the layout for them. I don't know whether the Project Advisors become more useful after the design phase, but I personally think Tesla would have a better process all around if they just cut out the middle man Project Advisor. Since...

It's raining right now and thankfully not missing the gutter on either side. The company I used covers New Jersey area and has been around since 2009. I talked with 5 different companies and the guys I went with were the most knowledgeable by a long shot, only use employees (no subcontractors)...

Worker safety wasn't the reason that Tesla gave me at least. (Tesla don't exactly have a stella record regarding worker safety - remember Elon refusing to stop production in Freemont during county Covid restrictions :)) Tesla gave this as the reason for not adding more panels: However the New...

Mathematically Tesla may have been able to actual fit 45 panels yielding a 15.3kW system. Since they would not visit on site to accurately measure my roofs, I did it myself. On each side of my garage roof this would have been possible: 1030mm x 6 panels wide / 25.4 inches per mm = 243". Since...

The solar part of my system consists of 42 LG 360W panels (15.12kW system) with 42 Enphase IQ7PLUS micro inverters. Although Tesla had the lowest quote, I went with a non-Tesla solar company because Tesla was only able to put a 11kW system on my roof at the most).

It was not a tweet, it was the Q1 2021 Tesla Financial Results conference call with investors.

Yes, exactly. The original Powerwall 2 Spec sheet quotes Apparent Power, peak (10s, of-grid/backup) = 7.2 kVA 7200/240 = 30 Amps (so 30A breaker makes sense) But how many amps would a Powerwall 2 Plus produce at peak? 7200*1.5/240 = 45 Amps

I'm not asking about the Powerwall+, I'm asking about the Powerwall 2 Plus (which likely shares many of the same components as the Powerwall+). What we have been told by Tesla/Elon so far: 1. The current Powerwall 2 spec sheet lists Overcurrent Protection Device as 30A. 2. The Powerwall+ spec...

Yes, during Tesla's Q1 2021 conference call, Elon said: So what I am thinking is that if my Powerwalls are due to be delivered in August 2021 then chances are high that they have twice the power capacity. Since all the wiring, panels, and breakers are being installed this week, I want to make...

This week I'm having a 15.12kW solar + 3 Powerwall system installed at my home in NJ by an tesla-certified 3rd party installer (not Tesla themselves). Since the PWs are backordered, the installer will be coming back to install the PWs when they are available around August 2021. The current...

May 24th.

Here's the issues I found with the replacement Model Y. I'm curious if others would have accepted this like I did

Update: I got a call from Tesla Springfield on Tuesday saying that another car was a available with the same specs, so I went over there the same day to check it out. When I got there the delivery person started off by telling me that I was not allowed to spend as much time checking the car out...

I did not look under the frunk, but it would be good if someone can work out a way to easily check for the presence/absence from inside the frunk. Instead I just went by 2 things: 1) The noisy whine every time the A/C kicked in 2) The fact that my car was built prior to May 26th (the date after...

May 23rd 2020

I came across a youtube video about a similar leaking Model 3 from some guy in the UK. Doesn't seem like he had much luck getting Tesla Service to acknowledge the issue either.

Here's the first 10 full sized images (10 seems to be the limit for one post). . I had to convert them to JPG since this website doesn't seem to support the newer HEIC format produced by my iPhone:

Here's the checklist that I used. It took me 2 hours though to go through thoroughly. Hopefully I'll be more efficient at this next time around now I've done it once.

Delivery day was last Saturday for me. Unfortunately I had to decline taking this car due to the large number and severity of some of the issues. There were over a dozen of them, some more important than others of course. Noise Insulators for A/C and Heatpump are missing and need to be...

fyi, If you fast forward this video to 9:40 you can hear about the new noise insulator Tesla FINALLY Fixed My Model Y! It was somewhat disappointing, to me at least, that Tesla would not proactively install the missing noise insulators prior to delivery where feasible. In my case, I know my car...

I went in to Tesla in Springfield to take delivery yesterday and they told me that Model Y's built after May 26th 2020 have the sound insulating case for the AC and Heatpump. Unfortunately mine was apparently built 3 days before and I could hear the whine whenever the AC was running. Also this...
