Do you think it's safe if I use the adapter @MyMYLRnw posted and set the car to charge at 30amps? I'm trying to figure out a good solution to charge at a campsite with a 30amp box using the NEMA Adapter Bundle from Tesla.

I had the back passenger window act similarly after 2022.40.4. I walked away from the car and noticed the back passenger window was half way down - I never put any of the windows down so it went down by itself. I tried to use the app to close the window but it just went further down. I hit the...

I often wonder if people who worry a lot about what number the car says at 100% were that vigilant about an ICE car. I know some people had notebooks for number of gallons bought and number of miles driven between fueling stops. Is this concern just a personality type?

I’m not sure I like stopping there in the day time. Bathroom options aren’t my favorite and there always seems to be someone scary/suspicious wander/stumbling around the area.

Hope you got some dash cam footage to help identify the person!

The locations I voted for were for trips I want to take more easily - like to Glacier. The Bryce Canyon location would also be great. I went there over the summer and stayed at the hotel just outside the park with Tesla destination chargers and got lucky to have one because there were more...

That headline was misleading. Tesla dropped most models less than 5% and one model about 9%. Rob Mauer’s Tesla Daily YouTube episode yesterday did a thorough job of explaining the reasoning and the potential impacts of a price reduction.

Does anyone know how they are using this data? Are they developing the top 10…just taking it under advisement…?

You’re correct. I didn’t widen out my view and forgot I voted in MN, too.

You only get three votes per voting cycle so choose wisely (and choose Kalispell)!

I usually put the ferry dock I’m leaving from and arriving at and have had no issues. I just did an ABRP for Kirkland to Seattle ferry terminal (and they did not have the Seattle to Bainbridge listed but did have Seattle to Bremerton so that was weird) to Bainbridge ferry terminal - it did what...

I was there a couple weeks ago and the code for the bathroom is in the navigation page. Still able to use the restroom when no one is there.

I have the Tesla backseat cover then I take everything out to vacuum. I have a Ridgid Shop Vac with the car detailing kit to reach all the small areas - and Heavy Duty Swiffers for around the front and back windows. I then use diluted “free and clear” dish soap in a spray bottle and wipe every...

45k miles and most of them have been road trips. It’s become a compulsion. Happy to have my wonderful dog to enjoy them with. And appreciate dog mode.

My car updated to 2022.28.2 last night. I went to see the update notes and alternate routes weren’t listed on the screen. When I got in the car today, the update notes screen was back up again and alternate routes was available.

I charged there on a trip last year and was not looking forward to going there again. I did see one interesting thing:

I ended up driving south to Eureka and charged to 99% so I could go over 299 and arrive in My Shasta with 8-10% (and avoid driving south I’m from 299 to Cottonwood). Once I was driving past Weaverville, it was available again but I was running so late I skipped it.

Just tried to navigate to Weaverville and it says temporarily closed. Anyone charge there today?

Out of Spec Motoring/Reviews (Kyle Connors) has driven his Model 3 Performance hard on constant road trips and has a review for 100k miles here: He also does a battery degradation and range test here: Here’s a playlist of his road trips, most of them in the M3P...

I turn to them and say, “Do you like roller coasters?” Then I floor it.

Maybe it’s similar to the internet where anonymity frees some people up to release their worst selves.

I bought my 2019 Model 3 LR AWD in 2020 and asked the service center when I should rotate the tires. They told me I wouldn't need to because it’s AWD. But, my rear tires wore down quicker than front and I had to replace my tires around 38k miles. I plan on rotating them regularly now in case I...

Here’s an article about Berlin having new colors in the future: https://insideevs.com/news/600249/tesla-giga-berlin-upgrade-colors/amp/

I have gone on a lot of road trips so I wouldn’t, personally, I want as much range as I can get going a healthy speed. I also don’t want to give up speed/torque by putting the “chill” setting on. The OEM tires were rated for 45k miles and lasted 38k. I enjoyed every mile! And I got the same...

I have the same thing in my 2019 Model 3. I haven’t taken it in yet. I have seen several of these posts recently and some of them were covered under warranty when Tesla inspected and there was no chip or impact on the outside.

I used Artisan and they did a fantastic job: https://artisanelectricinc.com/

Stopped at the charger this evening and BK had its doors locked so no bathroom. They were running the drive-thru, though, so I’m not sure why the inside was locked. I did not walk up to the door, just saw several Tesla drivers walk to the door and then turn back when they were locked.

It sounds like you will buy a car no matter what and could make charging work with minimal effort. I used a 120v for the mobile charger for 1.5 years before I got a wall charger and I know a very active member on TMC that does a lot of road trips who also only uses 120v to charge. If more people...

1) I think range anxiety reduces by using % rather than miles. It also reduces by taking a road trip and seeing that you make it to the next charger just fine and close to the predicted arrival %. The arrival %/miles are affected by your speed, outside temp, wind, hills (up or down - when you...

Is the release tab in the trunk just to release the charging cord when it’s locked in? Or does it also open the charging port when it won’t open? Anyone else having issues after the update? It downloaded for my car but now I’m holding off installing it. Happy install stories appreciated 😁

I usually plan for 15% but I only panic when I go below 5%. Ha! I do bring my mobile charger and NEMA adapter kit with me at all times so that helps keep me calmer. 😁

I left my original broker because we’d argue about TSLA every time we talked - he thought Tesla was about to be “displaced by a disrupter in the automotive field”. My stance was “right now Tesla is the disrupter and I will keep an eye out for a different disrupter but that doesn’t seem likely...

I use ABRP to generally plan the trip then go to Tesla.com/findus to find all the 250kw on the route and out those into the route plan (I also prefer stops near a Target or grocery store and amenities are listed on that site). My tolerance is 15-20% SOC (that gives me extra if I miss a turn...

There was a firmware bug that led to my Dashcam to quit recording. If I tried to reformat it through the car, there was a error. While you’re driving, hit the cam button to see if it records footage. If it doesn’t, you may have to reformat your USB/SSD on your computer. Here is a video on how...

I have 37k miles on my OEMs and I’m replacing them on Friday. If you’re rotating tires according to the tire manufacturer and able to prove it, I believe they are warrantied to 45k miles.

As someone else suggested, I use A Better Route Planner to map my journey. That will let me know the state of charge I will arrive with at a destination and then I need to know if that is enough charge or if I need to charger along the way. I took a 6 day trip in my Model 3 LR in August into...

Perhaps this will be the Tesla version of catalytic converter thefts.

I have the same situation: I need to remember to turn off climate and turn it back on to have seat heaters turn on. I leave my seat heaters on when I leave the car - they don’t turn on with preconditioning but, when I turn climate off then on, they are where I last left them. Maybe there is a...

In Seattle, the roofing company does the tear off and works with a local electrician company to install the solar roof. They work as a team and we’re trained by Tesla.

I am looking into which solar to get in Seattle and the Tesla solar page says panels are not available in my area. If I want the solar roof, they have a partnership with a local roofing company rather than sending their own team. Maybe they haven’t found local partnerships for solar panels?

Thanks for reposting the audio clip. That’s definitely not the clunking from my car so likely not the issue with your car.

That link took me to the App Store for SoundCloud so I couldn’t listen to the clip. I know my battery clunks when there is a big temp change like preconditioning, charging, or when I drive up into the mountains. There is a “recall” for some Model 3s that changes a cover for the battery (or...

I’m not in CA but I’m hoping no power company would penalize people for producing clean energy that gets added to the grid. It seems like part of the solution to climate change and stress on the grid is more people with solar producing more than they need and sending the rest to the grid. I know...

I’d suggest downloading the PlugShare app to find J1772 stations (or wall outlets/RV sites, if you have all the adapters and the charging unit the car came with). Also, the car knows the altitude changes on the route and factors then into the guesstimate for arrival state of charge. If you’re...

My brother is in Atlanta and bought directly from Tesla in GA.

It may be some technical requirement to call it a “recall” but it’s misleading since what is happening is a software update. It feels more like clickbait for a news outlet to put that into the headline and story.

I bought the roof sun shades for summer travel and they give an extra layer of privacy when camping.

I have a slow leak in a tire so I check my tire pressure regularly while driving to see if it’s time to add a little air. Looking forward to getting new tires (soon-ish) so I don’t have to do that anymore. Also, I have used the car screen to watch tire pressure after hitting a big pothole to...

I just checked mine yesterday: hit the car icon to open the master menu, hit service, and my car was at the top with the each tire pressure.

I have that set up. I was using the button when honking would be disruptive or confusing to others. 😄
