Perhaps. The point here is the similarities, not the differences. There are many and I laid out a few. Readers already know they can not sit in their phone or drive it. LOL to you too when you state the obvious! Hope this helps.

No argument. However on the basic level it is a recharge battery pack with a computer processor. Both have HMI screens and motors. One you sit in. One you sit on. Both charge up at home at night and update via wifi. Very similar.

Why not?

If we view the EV as a rolling electronic box you sit in, like a cell phone you talk on, ask why do you need a warranty past the mfrs? The margin of profit on all of these "warranty" offers are the main reason the sales are so aggressive. Would you buy an extended warranty for your phone? If...

Other than tires and brakes, some fluids rarely... what do you want to service in a Tesla? Did you service your cell phone? Not me... This is the real beauty of Tesla, NO service racket from the stealership we have long endured with gas autos. Thank you Tesla!

Jersey Shore not NYC but close for some readers... We do hand wash of our MY for the safest results... we use kitchen dish soap and the local power wash water only hand spray garage in Hazlet, near GSP X 117. Blue Wave auto Spa on 35N has two hand wash bays. We have also used an automatic car...

This would be the perfect fix to make WAZE feel the heat... Elon?

We like to think of the Faraday cage as a fish net of wire to catch electrons which would otherwise damage your electronics. What is the effect if we ground the Tesla to that ten foot ground rod with a heavy mesh? What about windows? There has to be a quick method which one could use if you...

When we run the phone key Tesla app and the Feit electric app both open on the I-phone at the same time, neither wants to respond correctly. Anyone know of a fix?

We baby the battery in our Tesla. When charging at home we use 48A at night when the voltage is highest.. this after charging at 30A for about a year we switched our method. The power savings we found in is the slightly higher pace shorter net charging run time. The home charging rate does...

When we start our MY in the garage at below freezing, the initial minutes of power consumption line on the avatar shows like we were driving 40 mph! So much for where did some of our miles go...

Agree with you & Corndart, it is a bug. A new bug. The bug that caused this thread. Hope they do fix it since we have been Pavlov trained. One can only imagine it has to be fixed in some future update. Maybe more so given some of the odd acting avatar quirks noted here.

While driving we use that brake light indicator on the avatar to insure the rear brake lights are in fact ON when we expect them on. We think of it as confirmation on your screen view glance. This probably increases safety, the reason the feature is likely there when it works.

Seems there is little reason why the home should need another battery set when the Tesla is sitting there. Connected with your own inverter / solar charge UPS unit and you are with power. If anyone gets a tested hack on how to revert the HV power out and in safely, please let us know how you...

After insuring with NJM for many many years, this new OPEN for all insurance method has raised the rates beyond normal... last year a near 10% increase with no explanation from them for our Tesla... beware NJM is NOT what it once was to NJ insurance customers with usual 1-2% annual change of...

Our order date was April 11, 2021. We took delivery of our MY on May 31, 2021. It was before the lead time went crazy like it is now.

233 days from order to vin National average is growing lead time (non P MYLR) for the recent month... the performance models always faster delivery it seems. Tesla likes that profit margin you can bet. Anyone getting NJ delivery recently?

Last year at this time many were discussing the plan to wait for a NJ rebate. Since then, MY price has gone up 20% and lead time from nine weeks to nine months. Never wait for the government.

Looking over the super spreadsheet of MY deliveries, it appears that reported VINS for LR AWD non P delivery have grown to an average of ~222 days. The order backlog grows for Tesla. NJ deliveries seem to be less time, we are lucky on a relative basis.

End of June = End of Quarter. Expect to see a bunch of deliveries east then west.

We visited Springfield SC today. There were several customers around. The SC has one Model 3 in the showroom & had one new Model 3 outside on the delivery line (mid afternoon). One new Model Y on the front lot. The other cars are as shown in these two pictures of the rear lot at the SC, most...

Most of the P MY orders fill faster than the LR AWD orders for the past year. See the spreadsheet. Did you contact your SC and ask about this? We made sure our SC knew of our deadline and they worked to help us. Suggest checking the online MY inventory page daily as well. Remember that a MY...

We ran the numbers also. Our MY with similar option package is now $10,000.00 more than a year ago. Why not another $10K higher a year from now? What is to stop that? Demand is way up.

The cell phone and radios, we can carry with us. These are small and portable so very easy to move into a steel lead box or the metal fridge for quick safety from EMP. But the car is in the garage where now is the time to build metal walls within. Maybe metal sheet lining? It that shielding...

Any suggestions on how to protect our Tesla from EMP if there is a nuke attack? With the current risks, now is the time to prepare.

You may try: 973-921-0925. This number worked for us last time. Good luck.

With 2022.4.5 the on phone notice appears for updates again. Agree with some here that it is nice to know ahead of stepping into the car when you need to go. We also note that once an update is installed it takes a while for the entire unpacking and operation to really take.

Is it possible you are enjoying the power of your MY which you could never get out of a egolf? That in itself is worth a few KWH no matter what the local electric costs. Find cheap electric provider or make your own!

Looks like 91 days average wait time from order for the last 15 NJ deliveries on the super spreadsheet. That is about double from a year ago.

Think here is that the same steering wheel button should be available as a push to take or end a phone call along with the volume roller. Seems simple.

Tesla did give us phone volume on the steering wheel. So you have that at a minimum! Basic.

We notice several times after an update our MY must be started and allow time for the program to set up even after "installation" has completed. This seems to be for several functions, until programs have been run first time after the install, may not be 100% ready to run in some cases. Test...

We installed 30.7 this morning. Drove about 20 miles so far and AP is much better. UI some changes including custom bar icons. You may want to consider it since the UI basic Holiday changes are not revised.

Why is the Tesla wall charger when connected on local WIFI not able to send data to PSEG? I always charge overnight even though there is no lower rate then... but usually there is higher voltage.

Thanks for that tip. I checked the app. It is set correctly in IOS. Then checked IOS and as you suggested, there is an update to 15.2.1. Will try that next.

I am now seeing the battery estimates to and round-trip during the nav trip start up page. Wondering if it was there before and I missed it? I will take pics next time. The calendar is certainly not there any more. Does anyone know if the OTA updates are downloaded then unpacked / installed at...

Hello QA? Tesla? Add to the new list of now missing info: No nav trip arrival battery estimate.

In some ways the new Holiday update has many improvements in choice, and AP is working much better. We try to think of it as a new version of our car with every Tesla update... and sometimes changes make it bitter not better. Bet on improvements to follow with new updates.

Great idea here everyone... Tesla should add a software "Go Back" button. Why not? All these UI problems are tough to get used to but so far the AP seems to be superior to the prior revision.

Can someone show us the map zoom + and - feature? When zoom by hand the screen no longer follows the cars path. Thanks.

When you bring your car to NJDMV they are testing emissions. Tesla EV's today have no local emissions so NJ drivers need no inspection. But we do need a front plate. We see the local cops looking for that. We went with a locking bracket. If the Tesla bracket adhesive falls off who is going...

Is there a way to make the supercharger fee go with the driver and not the primary account owner? We will be renting an MY and will need to set this up on our existing app once we get the rental key card. Once you get used to the phone key, there is no going back to the key card alone...

A new selection of MY's available in the Northeast online today suddenly everyone! Check it out. Good luck.

We get that message now with the garage temps in the mid 40's. Turning on the climate a few minutes before getting into the car seems to make the regeneration notice go away faster.

One might view a vin in two months as a good or even great opportunity. The MY delivery tracker is showing 100 days average from order date to vin right now. You are half that rate. Good luck!

Springfield is fine. The SC manager and the advisors we met with are all with it. Try a showroom visit ahead of the pick up if you want more continuity for the process. What better way to whet your appetite for your own MY.

Tesla owes us supercharger miles also. We wrote them this week and the SC told us in writing that the referral program is closed and they can not issue more new miles in our loot box. Anyone else get this type of customer service? Seems like they are just treating customers like a throw away...

Tesla likes to wait until the last minute on this item. Have read on a forum some owner had to wait three days past temp registration expiration to get the package! Our NJ plates arrived a day before temp expiration.

Toggle the SW update. Leave it set to Advanced. This usually brings us a new update within a few days.

We think Tesla is one of the most advanced high tech auto groups in the world today. That means Tesla can track the parts down to the smallest connector. Easily. Unless they don't want to.
