    Supercharger - Primm Hub, NV

    Personally, I love stopping at this location over anything in and around LV, those are a fire drill, this is relaxed. So I try to hit in on way in and way out. Also, while it's a bit sad looking now around here at least there's activity and don't feel too exposed in the night hours.

    Driving on a Patched/Plugged Tire

    My plugged tire when about 22,000 miles before I replaced all the tires. I did as others said, monitored the tire pressure, it behaved just as the others so never changed it. It was just off center.

    Climate control sluggish on auto

    This!!! i started doing this too. Now if I know I'm leaving at a set time, pre-conditioning works great. But... If I have to leave in a hurry, the usual routine, in near triple digits... turn on the passenger side vent, i have it set to hit the roof. and it seems to make a pretty substantial...

    Buying a Single 19” Gemini Wheel and Tire as a Spare?

    thanks, and good info to know. A little after i bought my MY I got a full set of spare wheels and tires , the only thing I had to add was the TPMS. If memory serves after it was all said and done it was like $1500. I'm now using those tires, and wheels. So I don't think it was a bad deal...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP: July 2023 Orders

    You both don't get it (buyer and referrer), so in the case of wanting to buy a MY you'd get $500 off and 3 free months of FSD right now. But the referrer wouldn't get the 10,000 in credits.

    Does Cabin Overheat “No A/C” mode work for anyone?

    As far as my MY, yes it does work. I can tell that it does wake up the car to run and does lower the temperature without having the AC run. Car will sleep again for a while then will turn on again to start cooling. I never get any message from the app that it has run though, but TeslaFi does...

    Best way to charge to prevent battery degradation?

    okay, here are some real world data from me. Purchased Oct 2020, and I have 35635 miles. according to TeslaFi my battery degradation from new is 10.68%. I only Supercharge maybe 12 times a year. I almost always charge to 80% everyday. BUT since i charge at work, for free, mostly i do also...

    Following Distance Change for FSD.

    It does change it in my experience, and I believe that is how it set the distance. I notice it more in traffic. I also always set mine to Minimal Lane Changes.

    How many miles did your original Factory OEM tire last before replacing? (Miles/Wheel Type/ Size/ Tire Brand)

    Okay, I'll bite... My original 19" Conti's went about 31k+ miles before I changed them. Would I push it this far? hell no. My 2WD Tundra was handling better in the wet. than this thing. I would say I went about 10k to far. Noticeable difference when I swapped them out in the wet. On dry...

    Is this too much guys 😂 [using a car cover]

    The only time i cover my Tesla up is when I'll be gone for more than a week. I make sure the car has just been washed. The main reason however is the Gardeners come during that time period and I'm always paranoid they are going to scratch it when they are cleaning around it and moving the...

    Tesla Begrudgingly “Recalls” FSD Beta for NHTSA

    interesting, because mine will misinterpret the truckers 55 when I'm doing 75. it'll kick it down to 70, which means sometimes i might get run over.

    Do the cars come without front plates?

    don't come installed. usually in the cubby in trunk if you want it. Can always tell a Tesla in CA. They are the ones without the front plates. Personally i run the Stick on license plate up front. Get lots of looks https://licenseplatewrap.com/ not affiliated, just a happy user

    MY MSM with gray or black wheel covers, please post photos!

    Nope, just left the embossed R on the center plug. They have held up great over the year and half that I've owned them. They do change up the look for sure. I have no concern about these ever falling off, they are on there tight!

    Just to add... I have the Rimetrix ones they can be a pain for iinflating but i have the clip on valves on my DeWalt Inflator. as long as you put the hose in line with the center it isn't too difficult. Now to remove the cover you do have to remove the center plug every time. It's not that...

    EV6 to a Model Y

    I keep hearing about the Hyundai Ioniq 5 having 12V issues, does the EV6 suffer from that little gremlin? What about updates? (Apologies if this has been discussed... I saw your response and replied as you are a current owner)
  28. alexcue

    Siemens home charger had for years depending on Tesla updates it will or not work. Worked great prior to last updates now not 2020 Y 44.25.5.

    Have one of those at my office… and have been on that update for several weeks. No issues and to be honest never has an update screwed up my charging. how old is the charger? Maybe it’s just starting to go?

    TeslaFi for me, based on my 2 years of using it and ability to fine tune... (others may have this ability too... I don't know), but I've been able to set it so it doesn't wake up the car constantly like some other apps do. To be honest the mobile app was never a deal breaker for me. I can...

    FOB and iPhone frequent disconnection

    I'd venture to say it might be a software thing. I assume you've rebooted the car too. I had an earlier version of the software and it was driving me nuts that the car wouldn't wake up and wouldn't see the phone or the fob. I now mainly use the fob, So far it might be a little slow to wake up...

    Our Mar 2021 MYLR had its HV battery fail, under 18k miles.

    Are they still giving out Uber vouchers? I thought i read that was going away, (maybe this is for longer service issues, that they've kept doing it.)

    Our Mar 2021 MYLR had its HV battery fail, under 18k miles.

    Just search other peoples experiences with it. If anything, you've just extended the life of your vehicle. It's a pain to be without out for X amount of days, but in the long run it should be good as new. Good luck!

    Tesla should number Key cards

    Best to charge to 60%?

    CCS Adapter - ?

    That's great!!! My common routes have tons of them, and that's no exaggeration. But even with so many, some are full and you have to wait. It's all about choices. To me personally $250 on a $60k + car is nothing. It's all about peace of mind to me. Less stress in the end ...

    Regrets [Anyone regret trading in their ICE for their Tesla?]

    I don't see it that way, though the first 13 months, were the scariest. I haven't done any real attempts at trying to recover or should I reset the BMS. It's literally been flat after that period. Maybe even improved after some longer distance trips where I've let the battery get down to as...

    I have several, but for overall ease, especially if you own their tools the DeWalt is super nice to have. I know this isn't what the OP was after, and I'm afraid mine is the older 12V system, so I just keep a small DynaPlug Micro Pro inflator with a patch kit, according to the instructions...

    I'll be honest, i didn't trade in a vehicle. My GF bought my last new car from me, and is still driving it in FL. I've kept my Toyota Tundra, and also keep a Hyundai Elantra for her here when she's out here to visit. The truck is just something I enjoy having it because it comes in handy...
