Yeah, I know developer of “Watch App for Tesla” suggests a workaround for slow Siri response — open the app before you anticipate needing to issue a command. This gives it a chance to wake up, so later, you can give the open command and get better response time. This makes it not very...

Pretty sure you mean Watch App for Tesla? I use it too. Great when it works. If walking to car, have to hit “open trunk“ or tell Siri to do it long before I get there. Otherwise I end up standing behind car waiting for it to open. Often unreliable and have to open manually anyway...

I was having my tires rotated by mobile service. I mentioned to the technician that I could not disconnect the speaker wire. He pulled the panel and swiftly disconnected it. He said you just need to pull firmly, and there is no need to try to push in on any catch or clip on the connector.

Regarding the Virginia program, another note: When you attempt to activate the program using telematics, you are forwarded to the domain "smartcar.com" which requests your Tesla login information. Because of this, I bailed. In all likelihood this is legit, but I am not comfortable turning...

As mentioned by others, this speaker plays autopilot alerts when your main touchscreen is down/rebooting. You can test that it is working by triggering an autopilot alert while your touchscreen is restarting. To do this while parked: Hold down brake and put car in drive Tap stalk down twice...

That link is more helpful, thanks. I plugged in the info for one of my Teslas, and the popup below indicates it is eligible for telematics, at a cost of 1.004 cents per mile.

Recent email from Virginia DMV promoted the "Mileage Choice" program for EV Owners. This lets you pay the annual highway use fee based on mileage instead of a flat rate. If anyone is enrolled, please share your experience: How much are you saving? How onerous is the process? They say you...

If autopilot is disengaged within 5 seconds of a crash, Tesla reports it in their autopilot statistics. https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

This was my initial reaction, but I am here to say I was wrong. I subscribed to FSD to try the EAP features on a road trip this weekend, and it was a pleasure. Car navigated stop and go traffic for me on DC beltway and I was able to relax and enjoy it. Later, found NOA to be useful even with...

Welcome to the forum, and apologies for some of the lectures you received on not having a trash receptacle in your car. It is your car, and you can do what you want in it! To answer your specific question: at one time there were several console trash cans like this one for the gen 1 console...

My wife has her own account and I made her an authorized driver of both our Teslas. She is fully able to do everything, including request roadside assistance or make service appointments. I like this better than account sharing. If either of us gets locked out of our Tesla account, the other...

I do not disable sentry at airport parking. Our LR MY loses about 6-7% a day with sentry on. I always have plenty of battery left to get home for any trip up to 7 days (beyond that I would not park at the airport anyway). I have never even dropped to the 20% level where sentry is disabled...

Service center fixed this for me by removing the covers and trimming the plastic nubbins. (Somewhere there is a thread where someone posted video of mobile service doing this for them too.) They also suggested that I was being critical about a sound that I would not have been able to hear if...

When you designate someone as additional driver, they get an email and are prompted to create a Tesla account (if they don’t already have one. ) So they do end up with a separate Tesla account.

Also, Tesla updated the app last year so that authorized drivers have access to roadside assistance and service. (There was a time when this was not the case, so keep that in mind if you peruse older threads on the topic.)

you will be able to see both cars on both phones. But a better way to do this is designate the other person as an authorized driver for one or both cars. They can set up a tesla account of their own. That way if one of you loses access to your account for any reason, the other can still...

I have experienced this problem when a VPN is active on my phone. Switching off the VPN solves it for me.

Two Teslas - one in my account, one in my spouse’s. Each of us has designated the other as an authorized driver. I get notifications for both cars. Spouse gets none. Tesla app notification settings same for both of us. iOS notification permissions same for both of us. Will try the Bluetooth...

Didn’t relize you were asking about an S. I did the above on my Y, it was easy and solved the problem.

Someone posted this link to instructions with photos in another thread: Here is the post: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5211791/

Changed the filters and used a can of Koolit - got rid of the awful smell. But what a pain. Observations: Couldn’t figure out how to disconnect speaker wire, which made getting new filters in harder I used purolator filters, which are made in Germany and seem very similar to Tesla if not...

Just had mine done at KC Automotive in Burke. 9413 Burke Rd Burke VA 22015

This happens to many people who use automated touchless car washes because many of them use high-ph cleansers to compensate for lack of brushes. There is a very long thread on this topic. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/my-door-trim-discoloration.195868 Many suggestions there...

My wife is 5’1” and we own a Model 3 and a Model Y. She much prefers driving the 3. In the Y, the B-pillar blocks her view when checking over her left shoulder. She has no issues with comfort or getting good seat height in either car.

A note and an answer: The note: this is unrelated to your phone serving as a key. You have two Bluetooth connections to the car (assuming you have paired to the audio system.). The one for which iOS allows you to set device type is the Bluetooth audio connection. (There is a separate...

Mike_TV posted the part of the manual that explains how you can automatically disable sentry when parked at home.

Yes, the app should definitely reflect the car’s status. Is everything else shown correctly on the phone (lock status, window status, climate status)? What happens in the car when you toggle sentry from the phone? Maybe you should try rebooting your phone and restarting the touch display...

I use non-prescription bifocal phtochromic sport sunglasses from Tifosi, link below. At their lightest, these can be used even on a cloudy day, but they do not get light enough to use at night. In very bright sunlight, they don’t quite darken to the same level of standard sunglasses, but that...

Tesla describes the process for a model 3 here: https://www.tesla.com/support/do-it-yourself-model-3#replace-air-filter There is not a similar page for the MY, but lots of other good info there, much of which applies to MY as well.

Week later seems to be resolved—no troubles plugged in or unplugged. Have not had update to app, ios, or car firmware. Must have been environmental or server-side.

I read your linked post and have to admit that it wasn’t clear to me in the end what you did. Seems like you extended the adjustable bumpers further than their maximum extension would otherwise permit? If so, that’s interesting because other advice has been to extend them only to the point...

Several threads on this. One is here.

Frugal Tesla Guy said the Dr Colorchip white was not as good a match as the Tesla kit, but easier to apply.

Seems to be resolved for me with no app or iOS updates. I logged out of the Stats app and changed my Tesla password. Not sure if that solved it, or if something was fixed by Tesla server-side. EDIT: spoke too soon, just 30 minutes later, app stuck at “waking up” again. Worked all through...

Same problem here, been a bit over a week since it started happening. 2021.4.18.2 App sticks on “waking up” unless I lock/unlock.

When that does not work, I can get also the app to update the car status by locking/unlocking.

Seems to be the tesla app. The car does wake up, but the app keeps the “waking up” message on the bottom and does not update the battery status. If you go to “settings” and back (the cog icon), the waking up message will clear and the display will update with battery info

Must have: Protection for the area of the rear doors just in front of the wheels. This is not just an extreme weather thing. This area gets pounded by road debris because of the shape of the body. Every model Y owner would benefit from some protection here. You have two choices: (1) get...

If you are already above your offset when you activate autopilot, it will stay there and not adjust as the posted limit changes.

I can’t recommend stats. The graphs are highly summarized, and visualizations represent time inconsistently (sometimes L to R, sometimes R to L) on the same page. The watch app icons do a poor jobs of representing current state, and the Siri Shortcuts are loaded with grammatical inaccuracies...

I tried Commands for Tesla, but the watch app would never connect to the car. The developer did some troubleshooting then invited me to the beta program. The problem was never fixed and the developer stopped responding. Then I read about the unofficial API and I wrote some of my own iOS...

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/fixed-gemini-wheel-cover-noise.211858/ SC fixed it for me but said they were doing it to be nice and really it wasn’t a problem.

Glad I found this thread. Reds appear orange in sentry footage from front and side on my 5 month old 2021 MY. I thought it was a defect, but appears this is normal. Rear camera colors are fine. Will not worry about it.

Yes. Two forward collision warnings since the update. Car in front highlighted red, but I was at at very safe distance and relatively low speed. Lead car was not slowing down or doing anything unpredictable. Also got a lane departure alert that said corrective steering was applied (which...

Couple of threads discuss this problem and solutions. Gemini Wheel Cover plastic noise Fixed: Gemini Wheel Cover Noise

From behind, the Y has space between the license plate and the bottom of the trunk, the 3 does not: The S and X can be distinguished from each other the same way. The S and X can be distinguished from the 3/Y in many ways, but the most obvious to me is the recessed part of the rear...

Solved my rattles with a shot of white lithium grease on the rear hatch latch and metal latches between the rear seats

Yeah I agree. But it is nice knowing there’s another Tesla owner out there now, and cool that your friend got the miles at least.

Mine took 3 days. Tesla’s offer beat Vroom by a bit, but more importantly to me it was way more convenient. It was nice to drive to the delivery center in the old car and return home in the new one. Minor convenience benefit, but was nice.
