    Leaving MY 2021 for 6 weeks at 90% battery at car port (Not charging)

    I too have to leave my Model 3 for 6 weeks in an unheated garage with no access to a charger (no electric outlet accessible). I am in northern Vermont, so I am hoping there will be enough charge left in the battery to get me to my usual Level II charger, about 400 feet away, upon return...

    Mapping Supercharger locations

    Thanks for your thoughts. All I can say is that around mid-summer, Tesla drastically reduced the visible SC locations, both on the NAV screen and on their website. The result is that it is much harder to plan a trip than it was before those changes. Maybe they will restore that functionality...

    Mapping Supercharger locations

    Thanks for the alternate sites. But no one has addressed the fact that the display map and the Tesla Supercharger website were MUCH more functional in the late spring and early summer (I got my Tesla on 3/29/21). I also tried the suggestion to click on the lightning on the lower right of the...

    Mapping Supercharger locations

    On the NAV screen, Superchargers used to appear, and it was easy to navigate to them, giving me the choice of when and where to charge while on a trip. Likewise on the Tesla Supercharger site on the web. Over the past 6 -8 weeks that has changed. On the website for example - Go Anywhere |...

    Mapping Supercharger locations

    Any idea why the mapping of Superchargers has changed, both on the display screen and on the website? It used to be very easy to map out a trip - not so much any more.

    Thank you. Guess I am not very "intuitive", as I could not find it.

    12 volt outlet on 2021 Model 3

    I ordered the tire repair kit from Tesla, which involves powering the compressor off the car's 12 volt outlet (cigarette lighter style). Unfortunately, I cannot find that on my car, or any reference to its location in the Owner's Manual. Any help locating it?

    Downtown San Diego Private Condo Tesla Charging station help!

    My electric utility also mentioned this product - Meter Collar Adapters for Distributed Energy Resources - ConnectDER, though I have not researched it as fully as I did the DCC-9.

    Downtown San Diego Private Condo Tesla Charging station help!

    On the other end of the country (Vermont) I am also starting the process of trying to install charging in my deeded, individual parking spot in my high rise condo, where the multi-level garage is within the building envelope. My research has led me, via my municipal electric utility, to this...

    Battery pre-conditioning

    I did read the manual before the car arrived, only later to find out that certain features were not as described. Reminded me of computer software manuals back in the 80's. That's why I have found this forum helpful as well,

    Battery pre-conditioning

    Thanks again - this car sure has an interesting learning curve!

    Battery pre-conditioning

    Thanks, that is helpful information. When it charged at the faster rate, the battery was probably below 10%. The other day, it was just below 20%, and it did charge faster than previously, when it was a higher %. Trying to figure out how best to manage charging on a longer trip, which I hope...

    Battery pre-conditioning

    On a past trip, when I tapped on an upcoming Supercharger location, I received a notice 20 or so miles out indicating the battery was pre-conditioning for faster charging. When I plugged in, the car charged at a rate of 675 miles per hour - in contrast to prior experience without...

    FM radio issue:

    Today I am unable to get any sound when selecting my usual FM radio station (it worked fine yesterday). Other audio settings (streaming, caraoke, etc.) work normally. I can switch FM stations, but all are mute. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Thanks.

    Odometer on Model 3

    Thanks, found it. I must say it is pretty spartan - simply shows total miles ever driven, same as on the phone app. But at least I now know where to find the odometer reading on the car, which I needed when I registered it.

    Odometer on Model 3

    I have a new Model 3 LR, and I cannot find how to display the Odometer readings. I see it at the bottom of my phone app, but not on the car. The Owner's Manual says that it appears when I press the "T" symbol on the touchscreen - only problem is that there is no "T" symbol there. Any suggestions?
