I believe that power sharing has to be orchestrated exclusively by the master. In my setup, I cannot access anything on the "follower;" all power sharing options are greyed out on its page. By moving your "follower" before turning off power sharing with its master, it probably got lost and has...

I had similar stains on my Audi Cabriolet windshield pillars, which were brushed aluminum. I used a light polishing compound with an orbital polisher to remove. You can do this by hand, too, but it takes a bit of elbow grease.

I have a similar issue with FSD. I would like to use it while I blissfully cruise at 55 mph in the right lane; however, FSD insists on a lane change out of the "rightmost lane." This action is not changed when I enable "Minimal Lane Changes." Also, the action occurs almost too quickly to cancel...

Have you tried your Tap Mini with the TUWC set on the 'Only Tesla' option?

I used an external junction box and Polaris connectors to split two lines off of the main coming from the electrical panel . I'm not sure there is enough room within the connector to daisy chain them, and I'm sure it would not be an approved procedure, either by Tesla or electrical code.

Rainy day today. I noticed if I touch the button in the middle, I get spray even with an extremely light touch. If I touch the button on the top or bottom, no spray. Could the button design be different for newer models (my Model 3 was purchased 12/23)?

Same for me. There was a significant lag, upward of 30 seconds if I recall, before the Tesla UWC started to work with my 2019 e-Golf. I find it surprising (and a bit disturbing) that these issues remain.

I often need it when it isn't there. Per my original post, I'd like to see this screen while driving into my garage, so that I can avoid getting too close to the wall (and the stuff lining it). I have also often noticed delays in the screen appearing when approaching parking spots and in tight...

A wired wall connector will also increase the value of your house, presuming you own it. Think about it, the LACK of a wall connector will reduce your home's attractiveness to buyers 10 years from now, all of whom will be driving EVs.

This is a good point. There is nothing that is blocking my way until I am well within the garage, so perhaps there are no triggers for the screen to materialize. Nevertheless, Tesla, if anyone monitors these forums, please put a button to activate this screen manually!

It doesn't open when it's close to my garage. That is the reason for this post! :)

I have HomeLink on auto. It opens the garage as I enter the driveway but has no effect on bringing up the park assist screen. I am also well below 4 mph when entering the garage---nothing. On my VW e-Golf, there was a button to activate the park assist screen. Maybe Tesla should put a command...

I actually do not need the car to park itself, though that would be nice since I am so peripheral-impaired. I just want to turn on the visualization before I enter the garage (eventually it turns on deep within the garage).

Got it. No parking in garages! 😉

So, when I approach my garage at home, park assist does not automatically turn on. There is nothing on my screen, as if I were driving slowly on a road. If I stop and shift to reverse, the parking assist visualization comes on, but this is awkward. Is there a way to tap the screen somewhere...

MyQ also relies on connecting to Chamberlain's serves in the cloud. There was a nationwide outage not so long ago. So, there are a couple of failure points using MyQ. HomeLink is virtually foolproof, since the transmitter talks directly to the garage door opener. I had the Tesla HomeLink...

This was happening to me when the outside temperatures were low. Seemed very odd. Thanks for the explanation!

By the way, my accountant just filed my 2023 taxes, and, to my surprise and disappointment, my EVSE installation costs were not allowed. Wading through my Form 8911, in 2023 there is a new set of lines that compare the "Net regular tax" (taxes paid less credits received, for me the EV purchase...

FYI... I have the same beef. Is this really something that can be serviced by Tesla?

Have you ever had a car with USS? Ultrasonic sensors are nearly 100% reliable in an all conditions (rain, snow, dark, light, etc.) and measure with accuracies of 1% of the distance (How an ultrasonic sensor works | Sensor Partners). That's 1 mm for an object 10 cm away. There is no way that...

I concur with above, no. I learned this unfortunately by pushing the open command while my Model 3 was in my garage. Even though there was about an inch of clearance between the car and the garage door, there was NOT enough clearance for the truck to open without scraping past the door. Ugh...

Enel X was unable or unwilling to resolve my issues in a timely manner. It was also clear from their app that they were more interested in my setting up an account for them to make more money via public charging rather than making my own EVSEs work as advertised. I filed reports with the FTC and...

Good point, Soul Surfer. I was hoping other's experiences might allow me to be more confident that the seat is actually malfunctioning before scheduling service...

I just posted a question on a similar, perhaps the same, issue. Since the car is new to me (2023 Model 3, purchased in December), I am not sure if the seat is heating correctly or not...

I purchased a new Model 3 in late December and have been driving in the cold, here in Minnesota. I have noticed when entering a very cold car, that the driver's seat seems to heat only along the front panel and seat back. The panel immediately underneath my bum (horizontal surface toward the...

Chill mode will also help in cold weather by allowing the heat pump to draw more energy from the battery pack. See the third bullet the Tesla manual: Cold weather can increase energy consumption because more power is required for driving, cabin and Battery heating. Follow these suggestions to...

Strangely, I checked the Mud Flaps this morning in the Tesla store, and they were no longer listed as “not compatible.” Issue resolved.

I know that mud flaps (or mudflaps) have had many posts here, but I am confused by those available for sale at the Tesla Store. When I enter an order for the Model 3 Mud Flaps, I get the message, "This accessory is not compatible with the vehicles in your Tesla account". I recently purchased a...

Hi Cosmacelf! I've seen this and your other posts on NM-B 6-gauge wire being used on a 60A circuit. I have 6/2 Romex copper wires connecting a wall connector in my garage to a 50A circuit. The wire runs behind drywall and across the ceiling joists in an uninsulated attic, from one wall to the...

I purchased one Gen 3 TWC and one TUWC and have set them up to share power on a single circuit. The units communicate over my WiFi network. There are really no problems. I am charging both a Tesla Model Y and an e-Golf simultaneously. I just set up the TWC as the primary and added the TUWC...

An update: Tesla pushed new firmware, 23.24.4-11ab530, to my TUWC. With it I needed to re-commission the unit, go to the Access Controls page and select a new option "Compatibility Mode" (before, the only non-Tesla option was "All Vehicles," which remains an option on the new page). Upon...

I have noticed (at least, prior to the latest firmware patch) that there was an audible click (presumably from a relay) coming from inside the wall connector, when the J1772 button was pushed on the plug. So, it would seem that the TUWC is monitoring the button on the connector, which I think is...

I will check it out to confirm. I am still befuddled by Tesla's stumbles on this product. The company that brought you the EV cannot build an SAE J1772 charger? ( Well, I know it is more than that, but still...)

It was set up to charge "All Vehicles" during commissioning. Unless they changed things, there is no "non-Tesla" setting.

Tesla pushed the HEAD (3CAE3FBA856679)-3cae3fb firmware to my TUWC. Unfortunately, it only partially fixes the problems with charging a VW e-Golf. My car will accept an immediate charge, though it takes a long time (over 2 minutes) for the charging to start after the initial plugging in. This...

I have two wall connectors (One Universal and one "regular") that are load sharing on a single circuit. The load sharing works well. Just waiting for a firmware update to get the Universal Connector to charge my e-Golf. Tesla support pushed a new version through this morning and I will test...

I have luck corresponding through [email protected]. While I do not get daily updates, they do seem to be pursuing my case for the TUWC not charging my e-Golf.

I agree! The SAE J1772 standard has been implemented by EVERYONE else, why can’t Tesla get it right?

Thanks. I also found this out of shear frustration. However, there still is an issue with timed charging events (since I'm not around to re-plug). It seems that the Universal Connector does not engage with the car quickly enough and misses the car's signal to start charging. I have read in...

I also have two Gen 3 Tesla Wall Connectors (one Tesla and one Universal) installed on one circuit (with Polaris taps in a junction box), like yours. I can report that the sharing setup works correctly, but my issue is that the Universal Wall Connector does not speak reliably to my e-Golf. See...

Hello, Rivian owners! I am writing to let you know that you are not alone and to ask for your advice. I recently installed a Tesla Universal Wall Connector (Gen 3) and am having issues with it charging my VW e-Golf. While the car eventually charges when it is immediately plugged (though...

It is set to "Charge Any Car." VW told me that there have been no software updates for the vehicle, which strongly points to Tesla software. This has happened before. When the Universal Wall Connector first came out, it would not correctly speak to Rivian, and a firmware fix had to be quickly...

Hello, joeb316! Was your VW issue resolved? I just installed a Tesla Universal Wall Connector (Gen 3) and am having issues with it charging my VW e-Golf. While the car charges when immediately plugging into the Wall Connector, it does not respond to a timed charging event after plugging in...

An update: It has now been over a month and Enel X still has not fixed their software. I believe the issue is that they never implemented the load sharing feature into their new software. As one of the few who did use this feature, they kludged a fix on my units to make sure that they would...

As of yesterday, it appears as if they have fixed their dangerous load-sharing bug. However, their new software continues to be unable to charge my e-Golf under any timed charge scenarios, whether via a departure time set in e-Manager or using the time-of-use settings on the Juicebox. The only...

Good idea. I am preparing my complaint now. I will hit the send button, if I do not hear from their manager by the end of today.

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question, and I apologize for this long, rambling post. Jump to the end for my question to the community. I have been using two Juicebox 40’s on a load group that share a common 50-amp circuit for some time now, and they have worked...

Thank you. Your point is well taken. I have a 2019 e-Golf SEL that has a great sell-parking feature. As one who is parallel-parking impaired, I’ve found this feature to be very useful. It is hard to believe that Tesla Vision will ever be able to do this when it is accurate to likely 12” or...

I am thinking about finding a used Model 3 to purchase. Could anyone tell me the latest model year with Enhanced Autopilot with Autopark that actually works? I am assuming these models would also have the ultrasound sensors?
