I didn't realize you could add, and connect to, the Tesla Gen3 Wall Connector as a product in the Tesla App. It provides many added statistics, and you can limit charging time for utility rate plans (or time periods) from the app. Give it a try...

From Artifical Intelligence Query: Tesla’s heating and cooling system is designed to keep the battery, motor, and cabin at optimal temperatures for performance and comfort. The system consists of several components, such as: A compressor that pumps a refrigerant fluid through the system. The...

Be sure not to let Tesla take away your rights. A Class action over Full Self Driving was dismissed because all but one of the claimants did not reject arbitration for their Tesla. Instructions and mailing address are in your Purchase Order. A sample letter is attached below...

When I put the car in park and am waiting for someone after dark, why do the headlights remain on? I could understand if they stayed on for 60 seconds after exit if you have that option set, which I do not. They stay on wasting energy until the car goes to sleep, in about 20 minutes. I also...

I can bring up TV content on my browser using DishAnywhere. The SiriusXM or whatever audio was on is still heard along with the new content from the browser. How can I mute the source I don't want. Volume and Mute affects both.

I was just looking at the Sales and Service centers. While the new Louisville Service Center has been added, Cincinnati Sales and Service Center does not show. Has it closed? Find Us | Tesla

As this incident shows, it is important to inform yourself and riders (in the rear on the model S) where the emergency rear door opener cables are located in case of emergency when the power is cut to the car. Also, once the cable is pulled, the window will still be up in the top track without...

Tesla can't even program the Infotainment Systems correctly. Yet Musk says Full Self Driving without Driver Intervention by this time next year.🤣 Elon Musk says Tesla will have self-driving cars without need for human driver this time next year

Inside Edition posted this video of the crash today. Amazing no one was killed.

I installed Teslafi on my Android phone and computer. Every time I enter my car, the large screen reboots. Seems like an interesting app otherwise. I remove Teslafi's Tesla tokens from my Teslafi account, and car is working normally again. This seems like a major flaw if it causes the car to...

My SiriusXM (SXM) has a scratchiness in the volume control and in the sound. When I adjust the volume, either using the steering wheel control or the buttons on the main screen, there is a static, scratchiness sound like we used to get sometimes with analog volume controls where the resistive...

It is past time for the 2022 Tesla model year to change. I have been assured by this board that the model year always begins the same month in the fall. Any thoughts on when this will be?

The Tesla released version of their app that supports the Safety Score has been added to the Google Play store. It is currently version 4.1.1-667. You don't need to go to APKMirror anymore -- just update your app in the play store.

If you wish to Opt-Out of the Binding Arbitration, you must do so in writing to Tesla within 30 days of your purchase. It is hard to think about any potential issues with your new car when you just purchased it. However, If you do not opt out of arbitration, you are bound to arbitration to...

I received 2021.24.1 (labeled 2024.24.1) update this morning, and the Car Wash Mode selection is not mentioned for my car. It is included evidently in some versions of 2021.24.1. I have a June 2020 build Long Range Plus. Wondering if any Model S owners are getting this Car Wash Option. I do...

Is it just me? I feel it necessary to inform adult rear passengers how to get out of the S in case of an emergency using the rear cable pulls under the seat front. I haven't yet gone as far as to print up Emergency Procedures cards placed in the pocket of the seat in front of you.:) I wish...

My car only displays the Recent SiriusXM selections in the bar. Near the right side, I can see where Favorites starts, and it has the Favorites title at the top of the bar, but I can't seem to display them. I have tried tapping Favorites, scrolling it to the left, and selecting Favorites from...

"By the end of the year (2020)", "Soon", "Expanding Beta program with option to opt-in from UI" -- Well, the first quarter of 2021 is over, and Tesla has been relatively silent on FSD Beta availability, except for some Musk tweets that didn't materialize. They must be having problems not to be...

Occassionally, when I open the door (unlocked in garage with sentry off) I get three chimes before I enter the vehicle. No notification anywhere I can see. What might this be?

Model S headlights still rated poor by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/tesla/model-s-4-door-hatchback/2021#front-crash-prevention-vehicle-to-vehicle

My Audi and Mercedes Hold Mode had collision sensors to tighten the seatbelt, adjust the headrests, and apply the brake forcefully in anticipation of a rear end collision so the car would not be pushed into the cars in front after the impact, and to further protect the passengers. It seems Hold...

I have noticed that both regen braking and normal braking are both anti-lock. I do not think it helps control the car in any way to turn regen on low for those cars that have this setting (pre-late 2020).

I was trying to connect to my Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector today to see if there was an update to the code. I was previously running 0.8.58. When trying to attach with my browser, it returns "404 page not found" It usually shows the configuration/summary page. When browsing directly to the IP...

I must be overthinking the 4 year, 50,000 miles Extended Service Agreement coverage. I have read the entire agreement, and the effective date is the date following the expiration of the 4 year 50,000 mile factory warranty and extends for 4 years. When it says 50,000 miles on the extended...

The camera between the doors seems to be covered with Polycarbonate or plastic rather than glass. Does anyone know if it is plastic or glass? I wanted to use a rain repellant, and there are different products for glass or plastics. The glass products will damage plastics.

Here are the 2020 Model S Specifications and Dimensions from the User Manual:

I could not find USB file type compatibility anywhere, so I tested all audio and video file types to see which were compatible with my June, 2020 build Model S. Here are the results: Media Supported on USB in Current Tesla Audio AC3 NO AU NO FLAC YES M4A YES MP2 NO MP3 YES...

The rear base of my empty passenger seat was apparently on full hot, as I could barely touch it. The back of the seat and the seat front were not hot. According to Climate Control and the Seat Heater buttons, nothing was on. I pressed the All Off button in the Climate seat heater section, and...

Is there any way to adjust the position of the car in a lane when it is self-driving? My car hugs the center line, and I think it is dangerous. I prefer to drive in the middle or slightly to the side of the road in the driving lane instead of being so close to a head-on collision. When the car...

A road I travel frequently has 2 lanes each direction with a turn lane in the middle. The turn lane is used frequently to access the many businesses along the road, and the speed limit is 45. My car slams on the brakes without warning when someone far away turns across the road in front of me...

I successfully mounted my Valentine One radar detector to the top of the front windshield near the mirror, and ran the wires under the front headliner, down the A pillar side curtain airbag inner wiring channel, and connected to the fuse box in the passenger kick panel. My June, 2020 Model S...

I have a Model S with the factory wireless phone charger in the console that uses one of only two USB ports in the car that support data. The two rear USB ports only provide power. Since the phone charger only needs power, it is a waste of a data USB port as configured from the factory. I added...

Before my purchase in June, I looked for a list of standard equipment for this model, and could not find any. I could not find out if the car would have a metallic coating on the front windshield (no it does not), and whether it had an FM or SiriusXM radio (yes it has). Here is the preliminary...
