Has anyone charged here (or Los Gatos) with a CCS car yet? Bonus points if a non-Ford or Rivian…?

I know this used to be possible but somewhere along the way they either moved or removed the option to choose which calendars sync (from iPhone to Tesla)... I found a Reddit thread on this topic with a screenshot showing the old "calendar list" icon which is no longer present on my Calendar...

Can you clarify exactly what in the car needs to be reset? Camera calibration? Steering angle? Something that can be done from service mode or does it require a laptop with OBD? Or does the car just need to deep sleep and/or drive a couple dozen miles without FSD, possibly after forced camera...

I have the original drop lock which Tesla service removed today when installing a new backup camera harness (finally!), and it got me to wondering if there was a better solution — like just open the seats and remove the cable and latch entirely and mount the cable release in the trunk, like it...

I was kinda hoping by now someone would have disassembled and disabled or relocated the seat back release latch… anyone?

I love the Milwaukee M12 inflator, but it's even better if you add one of these quick release adapters to the screw-on connector on the end of the hose: https://www.amazon.com/Melphan-Auto-Inflator-Adapter-Connection-Standard/dp/B07T3KHYZ6 It's also better (lasts longer) with upgraded M12...

Same here. I just want to keep my fridge going and maybe internet and some lights as well. The grid operators are paying a buck a kWh or more during peak times. Currently demand response reductions don’t enjoy the same compensation but hopefully we will get there. Imagine getting ten bucks an...

I'm curious if you measured the TapTes charger with the provided USB splitter cables. I'm assuming if those are "dumb" cables then it would only be able to pull 5W? Or does it pull 7.5W even with their dumb splitter? If your adapter provides 7.5 and the original is 5W then that's a 50% increase...

Amazon says these are no longer available? I've been using a TAPTES wireless charger with their USB splitter cords but wanted to see if I could get higher power iPhone 11 Pro Max (wireless) charging from this (though when needed, I can always plug into my hard wired 12V PD adapter in the center...

What on earth are they thinking? Who did they make these PS-EV tires for if not for Model 3 owners? I bet there are more potential 18" Aero tire customers out there (actively shopping for new tires) than for all other passenger EV wheel sizes combined (certainly in the US and possibly just in...

Doesn’t seem likely... here’s a thread from the CEO of Voyage (also building autonomous vehicles) which is shows some issues: https://twitter.com/olivercameron/status/1319835514887831552?s=21 I’m not at all surprised to see there are issues. That’s the whole point of the very limited beta...

I got a software update yesterday (Monday), but was disappointed to find out that it was just 2020.40.4 --> 2020.40.8 and not 2020.44 as I was hoping. However, I was pleased to see that (according to Stats) I was one of the first to get 2020.40.8. Maybe 2020.44 will arrive soon as well...

I believe we're looking for 2020.44; keep an eye on TeslaFi and Stats app...

That's what I had thought too, but after reading several TMC threads that mention that exact same panel, I'm now more convinced that the bus bar is a single 200A bar (not two separate 100A bars), though the prongs are certified only for 100A meaning you can only attach 100A breakers -- this is...

Understood. Really unfortunate since the fact that the meter lugs are connected via wires to the 4x100A breakers to the bus would make it really easy to do that, but I get that it's a UL listing thing. :-( I guess that means my 24-circuit MSP would be left with just the 4x100A main breakers...

My whole house ran on a 100A panel before I added the second solar inverter. I upgraded to 200A because of the 120% rule as I needed 35A (15A + 20A) of PV breakers. It wouldn't be a big deal to separate the EV charger (that just feeds a 14-50 in the garage and has since been replaced by a 50A...

I don't either but I kinda thought that was why the gateway is "service entrance rated" and it seems that it can take a 200A "main" service disconnect breaker...

PG&D Disconnect for what? The PowerWall? I had to have them installed for my SMA inverters. The first one was separate (in 2003) and in 2011 it was now "integrated" into the inverter. I'm glad I didn't install in between as I heard that for a while it was required to be accessible at the front...

Can you share photos of what the insides of these look like? I’m also interested in how the meter connects to the main power disconnect. Is the main power disconnect fed directly from the meter lugs? I have a 200A service entrance with integrated load center and am trying to understand if the...

This thread suggests that the penthouse connection could be good for 200A... that would imply ~2000W, but I haven’t seen confirmation of anyone trying such a load: Aux 12V Always On Power Supply | Tesla But with PG&E blackouts looming, it sure would be nice to be able to use our car as a...

Coming from Phoenix and having last charged at Quartzsite, it was a little nerve wracking to see this sign at the south entrance to Joshua Tree when contemplating driving through the park rather than continuing west to Indio (on a five day, 2,000 mile trip from Silicon Valley to LA, Vegas, Grand...

Yes, that’s exactly why I put those color gradients into the original Tesla Financing sheet I created and shared almost a year ago as I was configuring and ordering my own car and got tired of trying to follow all these threads for who had the best financing deals, and where they were available...

Not that I can think of. Fix it when it is convenient for you if you’re still able to open the door and charge.

This happened to me back in May or June as well on my early May delivery car. I stopped by the service center and they glued it back in place (since it just fell out when I went to charge one evening at home). I think I heard from someone that there was an issue with some of the glue used to...

How do you know whether it's actually working? From the transaction log online? Or does it beep or something to acknowledge that it worked? I just ordered a flex tag just so I can occasionally drive my Model 3 in the Express lane (I was recently irritated that I was unable to because I didn't...

Am I the only one who gets a black screen with the two white tracks on it? Happens about 10% of the time. A reboot usually cures it. This was on 17 and 18.1. I got 18.2 this morning so it will be interesting to see if it still happens...

Please feel free to add new lenders (especially credit unions) and updated rates to the Tesla Financing shared doc... I got my TM3 a week ago with 2.49% for 84 months at Star One so I’m not updating that spreadsheet as often as I was when I was looking for my own financing. Pay it forward...

I created a google docs spreadsheet that shows many credit unions and rates as of 5/2, along with links to current rates and eligibility info... you can find it here: bit.ly/TeslaFinancing If you're in Santa Clara County, check out StarOne as that's where I got my loan last week before picking...

It’s really hard to search for “model 3 range” when looking for the best range results or record so far. Found lots of “long range” model 3 cars for sale... and this thread, but no answer. Is there a thread somewhere showing the best reported range so far? I expect 400 should be doable...

Where did you get that shade? I’ve noticed my car hitting 122 inside in the moderate Bay Area spring... fortunately it cools off pretty quickly even when I forget to precondition it...

I got tired of tracking various credit unions and trying to remember which ones had the best rates and whether they were even an option for me, so I made a spreadsheet to track the various financing options, including a column for eligibility (via region as well as URL). It also shows the loan...

Yes, there are several things that would be nice to know, which they might actually know, but were not (at this point) shared. We don't know how the car got into the gore lane, but the bottom line is that the car was trying to tell the driver to take the wheel and steer, and he apparently...

And today's update from the Tesla blog: An Update on Last Week’s Accident The Tesla Team March 30, 2018 Since posting our first update, we have been working as quickly as possible to establish the facts of last week’s accident. Our hearts are with the family and friends who have been affected...

I have verified (through a mutual friend and former coworker as well as another TMC member at Apple) that Walter Huang did work for Apple and previously for Electronic Arts before that. Note that this doesn't really tell us anything about whether he was heading for Cupertino or Sunnyvale...

Sounds like he was a friend of a friend, a great guy, husband, father of two, and a software engineer at Apple (and Electronic Arts before that). I haven’t seen his name in the news yet so I won’t post it here but we are clearly still missing critical information on what exactly happened and...

Here's the image at 8:10:26am yesterday morning from JoelC's video... so sad to think that if that barrier had been properly reset, this guy might have survived? We still don't know why he hit the barrier in the first place, but it's pretty clear there wasn't anything in front of the...

My wife said that someone at her company posted the following: "I pulled the guy out of that car this morning while it was on fire. He was unconscious, but breathing. He had internal bleeding, probably because of crushed ribs from the seatbelt." So sad, as we now know he didn't make it. Our...

Careful... Someone is likely to read that as "two spaces away from a Model S that caught fire". How about "...the picture below of a vehicle that caught fire and burned last night outside her home and was parked just 2 spaces away from a Model S..."
