Being able to authorize other drivers is a pretty big thing since she's the one who drives it. The Model S has lifetime free transferable Supercharging. The Model 3 does not, but I have Supercharger credits from referrals. If it's too much of a pita, I can give her my credentials, but my...

I currently have two cars and a Powerwall on my Tesla account, as well as authorized drivers who have their own accounts. Since my daughter is an authorized driver, she can't see all the things on my account or authorize other drivers. I want her to be able to do that. If I create a second...

If it did that, then doing it a second time would have the same result. It doesn't. There won't even be a subtle click the second time. And it's more than a click. It sounds like something engaging. If your theory were true, then it would make no sense for Tesla to document the function and tell...

Not only is it based on a temporary situation from 2015, when Tesla had only six Superchargers there, the story itself says "Niedermeyer told SFGATE in an email Friday that while he doesn’t have current information about the specifics of the Harris Ranch Supercharger...." In other words, he has...

I saw that, which was a real head scratcher, since I thought that it was there all along. I can't find any indication that any place has a law against having headlights on when it's raining. That being said, since the DRLs are on, it means that headlights are on, at least in my state. They are...

I think that what Tesla is trying to avoid is having people show up at stations without Magic Docks and expecting to be able to charge, so they don't want other stations to show up on the map. Having "charge your non Tesla" and "charge a different Tesla" options would work. Likewise when the...

Then explain why pressing and holding the stalk would cause it to do that to the drive motor one more time, merely tapping the end of the stalk would not, and if a person does press and hold it, a subsequent press and hold would do nothing? If it wants to double check, why not do it with a...

I'd also be curious what would happen if you unlatch the Tesla connector prior to the step that unlatches the Magic Dock connector. In other words, if I show up with somebody else's Tesla, or one that I got through Turo, and want to use my own app, would I be able to select "charge your...

In that case, I would think that it would meet requirements if it checked to see if the parking brake was on, put it on if it isn't, and then put on the icon if it's a requirement. According to the documentation, the parking brake is already on when it's in park, and it had a function for...

The problem with that notion is that it's not analogous. If I lock the doors on another car, and then push the lock button, I will hear a sound as you described. If I do it again, I'll hear the same sound again. That would keep happening. With a Tesla, if I push the end of the stalk, I hear a...

I did look around and don't see them for that price now, but the ones I do see are "New (other)" making them questionable and not in a factory sealed box. I suppose that if somebody really wants to spend the time and monitor eBay regularly for weeks or months until they show up, they could beat...

I used to adjust it that alternative way years, or possibly decades ago. I found that it made it harder overall and eventually gave up, because I realized that although I could see the blind spot, I just ended up leaning my head to the left to see down the lane. I figured that I would be better...

I just scheduled this. I need the trunk camera sheath repair so I figured I'd ask Tesla service what it would cost since they'd be coming out anyway. The labor came out to $25.50 ($12.75 ea) so I couldn't see a reason to just buy the parts and do it myself. That's in the Fremont area. The...

I had that problem. It drove me crazy for a very long time, and the solution turned out to be the least obvious thing there is. It probably occurred to everyone to check the balance, and after you saw that it was dead center where it was supposed to be, you ruled it out. I tried sliding it...

It's not a matter of both fobs. The car decides to give you a low battery message when it encounters a low battery in a given fob, and the message won't go away until you change the battery in that particular fob. My wife rarely uses my car, and I'm not sure if she used it or walked by it when...

I used them recently. They did a great job and the time frame was reasonable, but it failed their inspection so they had to redo something. That added a couple of days. All in all, pretty good. The insurance company started off with an estimate using a recycled bumper cover. Tesla's estimate...

It's not clear to me what the calc amt and report amt columns are supposed to represent, or what residual of total charge is or why it's separate from the Trueup. I initially thought that calc amt was just the calculated amount for each line item, but that column has a total, making the other...

The nearby stalls are 72kW. I haven't tried to use them. The last time I was near them was the holiday season before the pandemic, and the entire shopping center was such a mess that getting anywhere near it was an ordeal. Even if the others are being used less right now during a pandemic...

Have you tried it out? Try using Elon's baby's name. If that doesn't work, try O'Reilly or Eaton-Hogg or Van Dyke. Really? You're telling me what characters my name can have, Tesla?

Yes, it kind of goes against the fundamental notion of "degree" when thermostats have a decimal point and can show Celsius temperatures to the nearest half degree. By definition, a degree is supposed to be a small fundamental unit. But with Celsius there are degrees of degrees.

But then how would you know when it's cold enough for water to freeze or warm enough for it to boil? Oh, right. You'd look at it and see the obvious.

That's partly true, but misses a few key points that make TR crowded. In 2014, when an 85 was the largest battery, and Harris Ranch and Tejon Ranch had no alternatives on I5, People had to stop at HR on the way from the Bay Area, because TR was about 2/3 of the way to LA, meaning too far for...

I'd be interested in the same thing, so if you heard back from them, let us know what they said.

I went to the Lazy Dog on the 21st. I hadn't seen this thread prior to going there and didn't know to look for the chargers, but I didn't see them. In fact, I was lucky to find a space at all. After I was told that it would take 1.5 hours for a table, I gave up and ate somewhere else. Frankly, I...

How is the filter in a Model S that predates the HEPA? After seeing the video posted here, I took the Model 3 on a drive and it did well. But I'd like to know how well an older Model S would do in comparison.

That's correct, Windows 7 won't let you give both partitions letters at the same time. You can do it under Windows 7. It's a bit of a pain, less so if you don't change your audio files very often and can live without seeing them every time. I don't have a Window 7 machine with me now but I did...

There's nothing you can do to keep somebody from being an ass, but the problem goes both ways. He can't keep anybody from being an ass either. To be clear, I'm adamantly against anybody wanting to key somebody's car, or let the air out of his tires or anything like that. Doing so could be...

The area had one of the highest murder rates per capita in the country. If this were 1986 I'd be concerned, but not only has the place been cleaned up long ago, those who were dealing drugs back then (in another part of town) are somewhere between middle aged and old. Even back then, I drove...

Tesla's website still shows it as a supercharger station with six chargers. It also shows a Yogurtland at that location. I let them know in January 2017 that it was closed. I let them know again last September that whoever they forwarded it to didn't do anything. I don't think I'm going to have...

I hate to post something that was apparently answered, but if somebody has contacted HQ and gotten something more specific, I'd like to know what it is, even if it means getting on a list for an eventual email. I spoke to service today and they had no idea what it was, even when I mentioned that...

What's relevant is that Tesla does it now. I could buy a car from another company on the basis that they may do that in the future, but that wouldn't help unless I trade it in once they start doing that. And many don't do them at all unless they are forced to do so because of a recall. I've...

It don't know what that means, but what would be good enough for me (in California) would be the ability to schedule charging for off peak times, without using something like VisibleTesla. It's rare that I'd have to stop charging manually at 7am, but I generally want to charge between 11 pm...

From the Model 3 web page: "Premium heated seating and cabin materials throughout,..." Model 3 If you want to argue that they meant "heated [front] seating and premium cabin materials throughout" I'd say that's a bit hard to swallow. If the "throughout" didn't apply to the heating in Tesla's...

I got Visible Tesla working with the 3. Scheduling works fine. Some parts don't work but are less critical. The image is going to be a Model S that looks like somebody stole the wheels, but I can live with that and override settings so it's close enough. Aside from the physical picture being...

I find the suspension on the Model 3 stiffer/more sporty than on my Model S. That's not a bad thing. After driving it for a few days and going back to the Model S, it was clear that the Model S is smoother. But the Model 3 is a different car and is more nimble. There are plenty of people who...

Traditionally, beta went out to external users, with their permission, with an NDA, and with a system in place for them to report bugs as well as an expectation that they would perform specific tests or at least enough general use and trying of different options to see if bugs showed up. A...

With EV-A peak rates as high as 45.4 cents/kWh in California (or maybe higher if other areas charge more than PG&E) I beg to differ that it will come out to a few dollars. It could easily be $1700/year depending on when they fix this. Plugging it in and then stopping charging with the app does...

In theory, it should make no difference. In practice, it does make a difference. I have a 2014 with autopilot. Those came out when the rest of the world was calling their cars 2015 models. It's effectively a 2015 model, has the features of the 2015 model, and was available with essentially the...

"When and where" alone don't seem to tell enough. I was at Fremont hours before opening. Current owner. Local. Indicated preference for upgrades. No invitation yet. I wasn't at the front of the line, and the line was long, and I might have been on the first third of the people who lined up...

Retaining anything would require a certain amount of local storage and it would be a moot point unless owners had a way of transferring the data. On the other hand, development could be done in conjunction with the app. If a driver or passenger has Bluetooth connectivity, then it could be left...

Dial by number was added in 8.0 but never mentioned in the manual or release notes.

I like the idea, at least in theory. The question I have is whether it would be accurate enough to know to leave my car unlocked when in the garage, yet lock it when it's in the driveway right outside of the garage door. Other hardware I have that uses geolocation for lock status, such as my...

I don't have any more accurate numbers than anybody else, but if 50-60% of domestic Tesla sales are in California, then having as many chargers in California as in the rest of the country combined would leave California at an unfair disadvantage. Considering that the Bay Area and the Los Angeles...

I just had the same thing happen, and I assume it's because the SC loaded it on. I can't be sure it's that version, but it confirms that there's a newer one for the Model S than 2.42.40.

In the latest version of the owner's manual, that appeared in My Tesla for a few days before disappearing, the following section as added on page 157: "Using RFID Transponders Model S has a metallic coating on the windshield that can interfere with signals sent from RFID transponders used by...

They still haven't figured out how to let somebody use the app with a loaner car, meaning I can't navigate to my next appointment. Syncing with a loaner is only half the battle. Tesla knows this and it makes it harder for people in showrooms who can't show anybody how the app works.

That's downright absurd and goes beyond bordering on the nonsensical. Taking away an option that the rest of the world has because a few people made mistakes is bad enough. Not enabling it selectively is also bad. But the way this works on any car is that you have to associate a memory with a...

Interim updates aren't necessarily bug fixes. They don't necessarily qualify as new features. They may not be easily explainable. For example, autosteer might get general refinements. It might be that at a specific type of exit under a certain condition with a certain type of road marking, the...

There are a few major differences here. The car was working as designed, the tow hook and SAS were both legitimate concerns, and it was a matter of fixing it. Other cars lowered suspensions too, possibly not to the same degree and without the specific vulnerability that Tesla had. With the...

The difference is that there are no features in question that don't appear on other cars. TACC is nothing but ACC and nobody is blaming it for anything directly. People are blaming "autopilot" as a whole but it would be hard to make a case that Tesla shouldn't have ACC when so many other cars...
