    ModernSpare.com jack for MY

    Yes. I have used it with and without additional pucks. I think I actually like it better without the pucks because the ones I have seem to collapse more than they should. The Modern spare kit is very nice. I bought the complete kit w/ carrying case. The only thing I added was a plastic pry tool...

    Orange warning label, under the plastic panel behind the frunk

    As a first responder, I would say do with it as you wish. I do not prefer to see it exposed in my own vehicle and would not expect to see it visible in others as well. Its not a big deal, every manufacture has its safety nuances regarding power disconnects, pre-tensioners, pressure cylinders...

    No audio after phone call

    I have my phone connected as usual to drive. After completing a phone call, I could not get any audio to come through the speakers. No radio, turn signals, collision warning etc. When this occurred while driving, I turned off my bluetooth on the phone then back on but that didn't help. Once...

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    Had the latch replaced which didn't work, then had this installed which finally fixed my issue.

    Alternative to HomeLink module

    I had the same concern as you. I recently had a loaner MS and programmed the Homelink. Assuming Homelink in my MY would behave the same, it does not know if the door is open or closed. If it is programed to open/close based on your proximity, which is the feature I liked about it, it will send a...

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    After the latch replacement I still had the hood open alert appear. Then a previous update seemed to eliminate those alerts. Now today for the first time, this appears. Made an appoint with the SC, but this is getting ridiculous.

    Wi-FI Connection issues

    Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I don't think a range extender would be a good solution as I originally thought that it may, but I moved the car out of the garage and parked adjacent to the wall of my router, literally 5 feet from the router through a standard house wall. The...

    Wi-FI Connection issues

    I park my car in the garage. I have a strong wifi signal on my phone and also in the car as indicated on the car display. After entering the password and it begins to authenticate, the signal drops to 1 bar, then it doesn't connect or maybe times out, not sure which. Ive connected successfully...

    Driver window doesn't stay up

    Happe Does it while parked. I did the window reset procedure a fews days ago and so far so good. I report back if it occurs again.

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    I completely agree with you. The MY does not have this same safety measure in place is what is concerning to me. Maybe its just me and its not a big deal. IDK.

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    I thought all cars with a hood that opens on front of the windshield were required to have a secondary latch and release. My other cars, all ICE, have an interior release which pops the hood open, then I get out, go to the hood and reach between the hood and grill to release a secondary "catch"...

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    When you open your front truck from the app or in-car display, what steps do you take in order to fully open the front truck? Or maybe I should phrase the question as....what steps are required to open the front truck when the latch is operating appropriately?

    Why not buy a Mustang Mach-E?

    I don't mean this rudely, but this thread seems to be going off topic? Would be nice to get it back to discussing the topic. ‍♂️

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    Thank you, but let me clarify. When I open the front trunk from the interior screen, I simply go out and lift the lid with no other secondary latch to releases. It seems that their should be a secondary safety latch to disengage before lifting the hood.

    Lease vs buy - a spreadsheet

    I couldn't view your spreadsheet. I'd like to pose some things to consider, not saying I disagree with a lease, just things that have come up on my previously leased cars... Purchase incentives possibly not obtained due to leasing? Increased insurance costs due to Tesla requiring a higher level...

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    Kinda along the lines of the frunk sensor, which when working properly should warn us of an open frunk, does it seem odd that it doesn't have a secondary, manual release latch mechanism like other autos typically have?

    Why not buy a Mustang Mach-E?

    However, the difference is that a Tesla can charge at most any charger, whereas others cant use the Superchargers. Not to mention the obvious speed. I have made many several hundred mile trips in my MY and if it was a different EV, without the option for a Supercharger, the trips would not be...

    Frunk latch fail on freeway

    Ive had too many issues in just my 2 months of ownership to sit back and hope Tesla would cover this, as I'm sure you have as well. Also, would demanding a loaner car as this repair will extend past their 72 hour repair criteria. Lastly, you show definitely consider a lemon law buyback. It comes...

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    It doesn't seem to be in my case. Im at 250 ft elevation and low RH. Still have the sensor activate.

    Dirty sock/mildew scent

    Speaking from past experiences with other cars, when the AC is used in recirculate mode, the smell you are describing is common. Try this... after you have completed a drive, deactivate the recirculate mode (put in in fresh mode) while the car is parked. It may take several times for it to...

    ANY white without a mismatched rear bumper?

    Had an authorized Tesla collision repair facility paint the rear bumper due to pre-delivery damage and it looked exactly like it did before the repair, Mis-matched!. Maybe bc the difference in substate of the bumper vs. the fenders. Just a guess.

    Driver window doesn't stay up

    Driver window doesn't stay up

    Took delivery of MY in June. On several occasions when I activate the driver window to go up, it will go all the way up then immediately come down about 5-6". It acts as if it senses something which requires the window to come down for whatever reason. However, I have confirmed no foreign...

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    Thanks for the update. Did you have to request the replacement? Or did they determine it on their own? How long has it been since the service?

    Hi, Im pretty new to Tesla's and would like to know more about "the Siri shortcut for the AC" please. Ive been using the Tesla app but never tried anything with Siri controls. Thanks

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    Just had the latch replaced. Error returned about 20 minutes into drive after repair. I have noticed it happening less on the highway, but what's bad is when it happens, it cancels the autopilot or prohibits autopilot from even activating, so thats becoming really annoying. The repair was done...

    Homemade Pull down ceiling charger

    Hello folks, first post on this forum. Love the ideas. I did a very similar set up. My 14-50 outlet is mounted in center of the ceiling. Im using a tool balancer to retract the center of the cord. Im also using a retractable electric cord reel like in post #2 but with the end cut off and a...
