    Scheduled charging not working for me :(

    If you are using any other app that schedules charging, such as Optiwatt, you should make sure that the scheduling function on that app is disabled. It overrides the Tesla scheduldd charging function. I had the same issue, and when I deleted Optiwatt, the problems disappeared. I then...

    Best Tire Inflator Help Needed

    Bought the DeWalt also, and it works like a charm. My wife and I, both over-60s, found it a breeze to use. Bought a battery and charger as well as the tool. Expensive but worth it.

    Supercharging slow since V11 update

    What percent were you at? 50 degrees is not all that warm insofar as the battery is concerned. And 20 minutes is a short time to precondition.

    TACC and Autosteer on 2 lane roads

    Hey all: I am in the middle of a long road trip (Boston to Lake Placid NY to Quebec City to Burlington VT to Westchester County NY for Xmas and then back to Boston). On divided highways TACC and Autosteer perform perfectly - very little phantom braking and the little that occurs is mild...

    Scheduled Charging Issue

    Update: so I posted my question in a Facebook forum dedicated to Tesla software issues and in one for Tesla owners in the Northeast, and several people asked if I was using the Optiwatt app. Turns out I was, and that I had the scheduled charging function enabled in that app. They suggested...

    Locking in a price in anticipation of the Federal Tax Credit

    I think that’s how it works, yes. But others on here who have done it may be able to answer that from experience.

    Locking in a price in anticipation of the Federal Tax Credit

    You can always defer your purchase if they give you an EDD before 12/31. Also, even if they say January it might come sooner. Mine originally said November and came near the end of September. You can bet that they will try to get as many cars delivered before quarter-end. So wait a while...

    Scheduled Charging Issue

    Scheduled charging still not working for me. I have tried both scheduled departure and scheduled charging, both from the app and the touchscreen, and every time the screen and the app say that the car will charge later (either when I have set a start time or a departure time), but each time the...

    Scheduled Charging Issue

    In my case, I only used the scheduled charging function in the car, not on the app. So it wasn’t an app problem. I also had notifications turned on, so I knew immediately that the car was charging at the wrong time.

    M3P VS BMW I4 M50

    Don’t know whether it’s still true, but when I bought my 2021 M3 LR, Tesla would not let you buy the car at lease-end. That was a big negative for me.

    M3P VS BMW I4 M50

    If you haven’t watched Bjorn Nyland’s YouTube videos, you should. He does a variety of tests, including range tests, on various EVs in Norway, where he lives. His videos are fun and his info is great. Here Is his video in which he does a range test on the M3P:

    Scheduled Charging Issue

    Hi all: New Model 3 LR owner here and I had a scheduled charging fail tonight that I don’t understand. I charge at home with a NEMA 14-50 plug and the UMC. I have used scheduled charging successfully several times before tonight, scheduling the charging to begin at 10 pm. Today I once again...

    Florida to Minnesota via Montgomery and Birmingham

    I can’t speak from experience to the nighttime safety of the superchargers in Montgomery or Birmingham, but if you download the PlugShare app and search for those superchargers, and then click on the pin for the chargers, you will see two things: comments by users who have been there, and photos...

    Nope. You can fill out the financing later. I did mine in the last week before delivery.

    screen protector

    I installed the Abstract Ocean matte finish. If you watch their installation video, the installation is a cinch. Fast, no bubbles, perfect fit.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I ordered my M3 LR in August using a referral link and took delivery on 9/23. Haven‘t used a supercharger yet but my loot box on the app shows that I have 1000 free supercharger miles, so it looks like you’ll be fine.

    No worries. The amount due at signing should include everything. Taxes, fees, registration, etc.

    Warming the Battery

    Just took delivery on a M3 LR and I have a basic question. I understand about scheduling charging, but do folks leave the car plugged in even after the car hits the set charging limit if the car is not going to be used for a bit. I thought I read in the manual that Tesla recommends that the...
