    Found bolt - which car?

    Wife found this on the driveway. In one of the expansion cracks, so no idea how long. We have a 2017 S100D, a 2018 M3LR, and a 2003 Dodge Ram. Likely came from one of our cars, but we did have tree people here a few weeks ago that parked in the drive too… Any ideas?

    Should changing tire size change displayed range?

    I changed my setup from 21” to 19”. When I changed the tires on the vehicle screen it didn’t change the displayed range on the battery meter. Is this normal? Also, I could not get it to change the tire styles within the 19” family without changing back to 21” and then back to 19” with a...

    Uneven tire wear - Back passenger tire worst

    Anyone experiencing one tire wearing more than others? My back passenger tire wore out faster than others. Staggered set, so didn’t rotate. Previous set was OEM 19” and back passenger wore the worst. Rotated (sane side) so got a bit more out of it. Is it common?

    Gen2 wall connector in 16.75” space?

    I have a 16.75” wide space on the garage wall between the two garage door rails. Is that a workable space for a Gen2 connector? It seams like it would fit ok, but curious if anyone has actual experience.

    Calculating average amps from power company data

    Just double checking - trying to get more power out of my house :) I have 2 years worth of data from the power company consisting of the total kWh consumed each 15 minute interval. How do I get to the average amps for that 15 minute window? It's 240v service. I was thinking multiply by 1000...

    Model S Homelink Details?

    My homelink is terrible. Works fine on our 3. I have to push the button many times to open the door and it only works when right in front of the door. I've reset, reprogrammed, etc. Tesla looked at it and determined it was working fine. I have 800 miles left on my warranty... Before I...

    Something in rear heat/ac vent duct

    I have something sliding around under the drivers seat on our S. Best I can tell, something went into the vent duct to the back seat. Are there instructions anywhere on how to disassemble? I'm probably not searching for the best keywords.

    Supercharger - Alvarado, TX

    This was a find by someone on the Central Texas Tesla email list - EAB Data Detail for EABPRJB9805405 No details found anywhere else. Probably not enough data to declare permit or construction. Someone may want to go by if in the area and check it out.

    Windshield washer adjustment - March 2017 S heated

    Is the windshield washer adjustment in a 2017 S with premium (heated washer nozzle) the same as most cars? Use a pin and adjust the spray direction? I think I read no at one point- but cannot find any reference right now. I’ve got one spraying over the top. Good for tailgaters, but not much else.

    Senate Bill 1415 and House Bill 2940 - contact your representatives

    Received this from Tesla in Texas - --- Recently, Senate Bill 1415 and House Bill 2940 were filed with the intent to restrict Tesla service centers in Texas. These bills want to ban a manufacturer’s ability to provide vehicle service to customers directly and could therefore limit customers’...

    Preliminary Voting

    I am starting to see signs going up for prelim elections. One can argue that, with the gerrymandering, they are the only elections that count. Now is the time to start contacting candidates and get their views on auto dealer protectionism or anti-teslaism. Should we start a list?

    6-50 - best solution?

    Hi All - What is the current best solution for a 6-50 plug for temporary use? For whatever reason, the breaker is 40A. Is this common? I'm going to pull either the plug or the circuit breaker box cover to check what gauge wire they used. I'm expecting the worse case and probably should be...

    Replace a 15-50 with HPWC?

    Can I remove a 15-50 and replace with an HPWC? Of course, switches would need to be set for appropriate circuit capacity and charge at 40A. I read the HPWC manual and said must be connected with non flammable conduit. Is a face plate with a short conduit stub into the back of the WC...

    AP2.0 - what if L5 autonomous doesn't happen?
