    SunPass sticker works on glass roof

    On my 2023 Model S, the SunPass Mini sticker works fine centered on the back edge of my glass roof. Painting the inside of the sticker black made it even more inconspicuous. Note - RFID tag orientation relative to the tag reader antenna is important, so the bottom edge of the SunPass sticker...

    Palm frond fell thru Liftgate glass

    Luckily, it was a clean glass-only hit. Tesla is replacing it tomorrow for $1,091. Are there any concerns I should have before and/or after it’s replaced?

    Door handles keep going in/out

    When my 2014 MS is unlocked, every 60 seconds, all 4 door handles go in for 6 seconds and then go back out. This cycle has been continuing for four hours. While I sit in the driver's seat (with or without the Fob), the handles stay in. About 10 minutes after I get out, the cycling resumes...

    New in-the-box Signature (signed by Elon) Black Wall Connector with 24' Cable. I just received this referral award (after a 3-month wait) and I already have 2 HPWCs installed. I much prefer pick-up here (near Ft. Lauderdale) but I'll ship at cost if necessary.

    Watchdog Timer Reboot?

    After being out-of-town for 2 weeks, I checked my app and saw that one of my Teslas had not connected for one week. I had someone go to my garage and she found the Touchscreen blank. After she rebooted it, my app connected and the car started charging. I saw that it hadn't charged during the...

    iOS app not connecting

    We're out-of-town away from both our Teslas and the iOS Tesla apps on both of our phones have only been very rarely connecting to either car for the last week. The apps spin and say "Waking car..." even though both cars are set to "Always Connected" and both have strong WiFi signals in the...

    Florida Electric Charging Signage and Parking Issues

    Maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine, but the wording "Tesla Vehicle Charging Only" is ambiguous and not intimidating to drivers that might ICE spots. It sounds like a technical note that this device can't charge other makes of electric vehicles. Wording like what's on handicapped parking signs...

    Android Auto and/or Apple CarPlay, please

    Even Hyundai gets it: HYUNDAI TO BRING ANDROID AUTO TO CARS. It sure seems like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are showing the way to the ultimate automotive user interface paradigm. I should able to jump in my car, or anyone's car, even a rental car, and see my own phone's stuff on the...

    Interesting Energy Graphs

    These graphs - Energy Flow - are very interesting and put our overall energy generation and energy use in perspective (click on the graphs to enlarge them). Electric cars live inside that skinny little 0.0257% brown line in the lower right along with Amtrak etc, so there's plenty of room...

    Bumps on our Frunk

    A lot has been written about Frunk dents and creases, but our Frunk has two smooth round bumps bulging from the inside out. The surface area between and around these bumps is flawless. The airspace beneath both bumps is inaccessible because it's in-between the inner and outer aluminum skins...

    Orlando - My first road trip

    Tomorrow, I'll be driving 220 miles to Orlando via the Port St Lucie Supercharger for a meeting. I only have 1100 miles on my P85 and I've not yet charged anywhere but home, so I'm a little nervous. Based on various posts, I've factored for using the A/C and driving at higher speeds. The...

    Sunglasses Clip

    Since the MS lacks an overhead compartment for sunglasses, I snap mine into a bent paper clip for quick one-hand access with no risk of scratching or smudging. The clip is held in place with tape behind the trim.

    Florida HOV sticker placement?

    I just picked up my Florida HOV sticker so I can drive alone in HOV lanes. This seemed like a no-brainer for $7 per year. This big rectangular sticker has a peel-off backing that says "PLACE ON LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF VEHICLE REAR WINDOW", but the curved MS rear window doesn't really have a...

    Ceiling-mount my HPWC?

    My P85 is due in February. I'm considering mounting my HPWC similar to how this guy did -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCM2V2t7XTA -As can be seen in his video, he mounted his HPWC vertically, but I'm considering mounting it horizontally against the ceiling with the conduit in the attic. I...
