I may have missed someone saying this already... My 2016 X scolds me if I haven't preconditioned before getting to a supercharger and goes on to tell me that charging time will be extended by 10 - 15 minutes while it preconditions while plugged in to the supercharger, before charging starts...

My options were 120V 15A or 220V 45A. ...and now I know it takes 2 1/2 days to charge on 120V. LOL

My exact response! The old fuse looks brand new, no warping or discolouration or anything!

Sigh.... I've also been told that the service screen has a mechanism to discharge the battery and recharge to determine the % of deterioration. I think warranty must maintain 75% of original....also told that Tesla will perform this test if requested (at what cost!?). I'm afraid of Tesla...

An update seems to have turned my "camera record with horn honk" OFF. This would have been very helpful to have the recording I assumed I got when I was hit by a motorcycle and then punched in the face through the driver's window. Apparently, film is good for an assault charge evidence. Thank...

...so off peak is 9pm in the evening until 1pm the next afternoon? Usually there are peak hours in the morning. Anyways, if off peak starts at 9pm, start charging at 9pm so you don't run out of time. My 90D does a wall charge (60A fuse and 45A out) almost as fast as a supercharger. I'm at a...

It's a good practice to apply your breaks while coasting before parking when it is raining. It will warm the rotors and pads to dry them to minimize the rusting between the two. If you've ever seen a rotor with the wheel off, you'll see the outline of the pad on the rotor where it has sat, wet.

Hmmm. ODBII sounds like an Amazon gadget. You sound like you know batteries... Every time I go into tesla service or the mall sales, I ask about range. I have a 2016 X 90D. On a 100% charge to go Toronto to London, Ontario which is about 200km. I'll drive 110 to 130kph. I'll have about 30%...

Just curious, what's your cost for power in Euros? The conservatives with some help from the liberals have screwed up our system so bad, we can't actually control production like when we had coal plants. Excess power that we paid too much for, we have to PAY adjacent provinces and USA states...

I condition the cabin for about 10-15 minutes before leaving and the cabin is upwards of 20C on a -10C day. 2016 X. Is there a battery temperature somewhere? Probably a dumb Q.

How long is your off-peak time period that you have to charge in 1 hour periods?! Ontario, where our conservative government has sold off public generation to take away the cheapest power in the country (6 cents/kWh any time of day) to give us the most expensive power in the country (new peak...

I believe it circulates the "coolant" through the heater to warm the battery. And conversely cools it when too hot. The warming also happens when you enter directions to a charging station. Tesla recommends entering a charge station any time you are going to one inorder to "precondition the...

I read in the manual, I think, that the battery doesn't like -30C and will automatically protect itself by keeping the battery warm. I've noticed the battery loses maybe 5% per day in winter. For example, the interior is saying -6C and I'd look again and it's rising, to about +3C. Tesla...

So 7C or 45F is the magic number for tire rubber. Colder and summer rubber is getting too hard for traction and warmer starts wearing winter rubber fast. All season will handle a bit colder, which is what got put on mine for summer. In Toronto, we seem to be skipping winter altogether. It...

I bought slipstream rims from a rim place in CA and shipped to Toronto, Ontario. About $200 a piece a year ago. My "other cars" mechanic was going to get me the pressure sensors for $50 each, but I couldn't figure out what tires to get. Local Tesla was ambiguous but CA told me pirelli...

It had been working, but stopped around 2 software updates ago...along with the auto rain sensor.

It seems to have loaded, but details only say it fixes minor problems without mentioning...anything specific. Intermittent wiper setting now works! ...maybe only 1 speed but better than manual. Yeah our team! I'll have to wait until rain or snow to see if the auto sensor does anything.

I just came back from a service. I had complained that the wiper auto sensor stopped working as well as intermittent wiper settings. I hadn't recieved ...30.8 yet so they pushed it and said it should fix the issue. It got me out of the SC... LOL. I parked the X when home and hit the update...

How hot is it in the garage? Could the battery or interior be cooling?

My 2016 X needed both front control arms replaced in August 2022, almost a month after I bought it, parts were $233 and $105 labour plus tax. $1700? Tesla seems to make numbers up as they go along. I went in for a coolant leak. Estimate $50. It went to $500ish and after suggesting I should...

19" won't fit. 20 or 22" only. I'd use the 20 for winters for a smoother ride.

Tesla seems to list the 2032 for the S, 3 and Y, but the 2354 specifically for the X. I have an X. The 2032 is too thin and no, you can't stack 2 as you will end up with 6V....bad. I found them on Amazon. Becareful, sellers will list other batteries under "2354" and be ambiguous about the...

Guessing it cut around the hood latch to open the hood.

...but my 2002 BMW 530 has automatic sensor wipers THAT WORK! Granted, you need to turn them to the first notch to turn them on. LOL

Thank you! Didn't know the rear view has its own defrost...I would have thought it should come on with the side mirrors. You know "all the mirrors". I guess this is why he's building them and only driving one. lol

I hit it once and it went blue...I hit it again and it went red....must be better, yes? Another face plant! Heat probably got the windows cleared fast, but I should have gone back to blue. Thank you! I'm clearly stuck in old technology when the back window defrost was a heating coil...red.

I have a 2016 X 90D. I haven't been using FSDb. Early summer, I don't recall having issues with wipers, dry wipe or not auto wiping after coaxing it to start. My 1994 BMW 540 had to be turned on and off to start the auto sensor then it worked flawlessly to sense rain, even a little. After the...

It was blue in autosteer. NOW that I have FSDbeta turned on (face plant), it also goes blue. No ping-pong! Unfortunately, it started raining and got shutdown because of poor visibility. Approaching transports the car would slow way down. Unless it was getting lost with the mist off the...

You know your car! I went back to settings and I, in fact, did not say yes to the disclaimer and therefore did not actually turn on the FSDbeta, so my double pull was turning on Autosteer. My bad. ...but I was getting ping ponging in the double pull... Have I missed something else that I'm not...

Thanks for answering. I did read everything that I found in the manual and I did pull the stick towards me twice... However, I'll try it again and make sure the "3" is blue. I'm sure that everything that is supposed to be on is on.

Took my 2016 X with FSD beta in for other repairs (might have been around May) and they replaced the cameras as a warranty "upgrade". Could this have been the recall? Being chicken, I've actually only tried the FSD once, about 4 months ago. I felt like a ping pong ball bouncing between the...

LOL. Yes, Toronto, Ontario, Canada! I suspect Ontario, CA doesn't have its own electrical code...but who knows. And I'm originally from Marathon, not the Key.

Fortunately, I'm in Ontario!

There are many local code jurisdictions represented here, as well as from both Canada and US having their own national electrial code as well as one post I saw from England that is 240, 50 cycle, so even wire specifications are different! If you want to be sure, call your LOCAL power authority...

Just saying...I have 55ft 6/3 romex on a 60A breaker and the latest Tesla charger. My X is happy charging at 48A which was set automatically by the Tesla gods.

But, if the listed range has no relationship to how I drive, because I don't drive to the EPA standard (as has been pointed out, who drive 48mph on the hiway?), what use is it to me? I have made another 200km trip (each way) and had put my destination in. The battery percentage remaining...

I found the actual range was about 30% less than what the listed range told me. Using the navigate to destination has been very accurate....for me.

I would agree with this. I spoke to a tesla moble tech, who seems to be the only honest/knowledgeable tesla person in Toronto. He told me to ignore the estimate and load my destination into navigate. Going 200km to my destination seems to be spot on! It even seemed to adjust for a strong...

Last winter I was driving on a secondary hiway, so speeds were around 80kph, 160kph combined when a piece of ice came off a car coming at me. I thought someone had thrown a pack of paper out the window, so about 8 1/2" x 11" x 1 1/2" thick. It hit my X directly on the interior camera position...

Thank you for answering! "Repeatable fob" meaning a fob that sends out a signal? My X is January 2017 build of a 2016. I have the "car" fob with a new battery. So the way it was set up when I got it, it could have been stolen with someone copying the code? Good to know. I do like the...

OK. The lump of metal may have the upper hand. Today it didn't work. The lights flash as I approach the car as normal, but the doors stay locked. Now when I double click the fob it unlocks but the driver door pops open! Any thoughts? I want it to unlock as I approach so I can open the door...

I just discovered a button on the Safety page. Passive door lock. My door unlocking issues are solved. This seems to have been turned off by Tesla after service work so they could lock my fob in the car. Wish they could have told me!

I don't like being out smarted by a lump of metal! Drive door unlock was not turned on but approach unlock would not stay on and I'd have to double click the fob TWICE to get in. Go to Safety. After turning the car on, turn on passive door mode. I'm back to normal. When I walk up to the car...

Hmmm. Occasionally my car thinks it is next door. Something to watch!

I installed a tesla home charger the end of february. It is going to other, not home. So not necessarily the charger brand. I recently had a door window actuator replaced at tesla. When I picked it up they had changed the locking settings so they could leave the key fob in the car. I changed...

A mobile Tesla technician told me not to use the alcohol or silicone, but rather Mother's spraywax. I let it smoke into the flox. Had one freeze so far and the windows didn't stick. I notice every time I put the window down and back up, it is covered with water droplets, which I wipe off and...

LOL. Reminds me of a problem with BMWs flagship 750 not starting in North Western Ontario. A group of engineers showed up in Sudbury with a 750 from Germany. They tinkered for a week, gave up and went home. A mobile Tesla tech told me to try Mother's Spray Wax. I sprayed the whole window and...

T The 3 awg is way over kill. Yes the problem is the diameter of the wire. The charger needs to be protected with 60A breaker. If the is a problem at the charger, a 100A breaker will let it fry. Ask your electrician if he is comfortable cutting some of the strands to make it fit both the...

No, you are correct. Double pull 60A breaker and 6awg wire. However you only need 6/2 wire which is black - L1, red - L2 and ground and cheaper. 6/3 would have a white for common which is not needed. Someone pointed out that 80% load, which is code, brings the current to 48A.
