    Garage smoke detectors and home insurance for home charging.

    I had my home security company place a smoke and heat detector in my garage. The installer told me there are insurance companies requiring fire detection in garage if you have an electric car. Has anyone been told this by their Home Owners Insurance company?

    Is it necessary to order Front Grill Mesh prevent Inserts?

    U could pull it right off and it does not restrict flow at all. A bunch of leaves and debris getting past that intake would though.

    FSD has detailed map display. Will we loose that?

    The FSD free trial includes the detailed full view map display of all lanes and oncoming traffic. It would be very nice if after' the free trial ends my MYLR would keep that function. Will it? I guess time will tell. I am not fond of the limited display I had before of only' right side road details.

    Is 100% charge on MYLR once a month good for extended battery life?

    I have a 2023 MYLR (13000 miles) with the 2170 batteries built in Texas. This question has got to of been asked before. I hardly ever need to charge over 70%. I have owned it since May and I have only charged it to 80% a few times and 100% only one time. Is it better for the battery to charge to...

    Latest FSD released

    I just got the free trial of FSD on my Model Y LR. My gripe is you do not have a double pull option with FSD activated. Only Single Pull. Cruise Control cannot be accessed unless you completely deactivate the FSD selection and go back to Beta. Is there another get around. In Beta you have the...

    Continuous high pitch "whistling"/"whirring" noise when charging or when "woken up"

    I understand but this is a squeak that sounds like a motor that has a bearing having an issue. It is not the normal sound/s and did not start doing this until just recently.

    Continuous high pitch "whistling"/"whirring" noise when charging or when "woken up"

    I have a high pitch intermittent squeeking noise (like a cricket) when my 2023 MYLR is preconditioning. I saw someone state on Redit it may be coming from a fan motor. I will have it checked by service soon. Anyone else have this issue?

    What is this high pitched cricket like noise?

    I was getting a squeaky noise also like a cricket. But my 2023 MYLR was conditioning the battery in my garage it seems. It was not scheduled to do that also. The inside of the car was not conditioning. It was cold outside, about 25F. Strange I have never seen it do that.

    Do You Unplug For Thunderstorms?

    I live on a hill and a tree in front of my house was hit by lightning years ago. The lightning blew out a trench from the tree to my underground power line to my well pump. Burned up that pump along with a TV in my house and some other electrical equipment. I think it would be wise to unplug my...

    Surge Protection - at the Wall Charger & the Tesla Itself?

    I had a lightning strike a tree in front of my house. I live on a hill. The lightning went throught the ground and found my powerline to my well pump and not only burned it up but also burned up tv's in my house. I may need a surge protector on my 50 amp 14-50 outlet me thinks. Or make sure if...

    Tow Hitch - Tongue Weight Capacity

    Plugged in or not plugged in?

    I will review again. At first review I did not see my answer for the 2170 battery system. Thank you

    Plugged in or not plugged in?

    That is what I thought. I always leave my charge limit at 70% and then leave it unplugged if it is around 50% + SOC, until I need more charge if I need to go any distance required to have more or to precondition. Thank you.

    Plugged in or not plugged in?

    So Casey this is an interesting comment. I did not think of battery cycles. I would only consider preconditioning the car in the winter. So my question remains. Is it necessary for battery health to ABC if you do not precondition? I know this may be trivial. I just want to understand the battery...

    Plugged in or not plugged in?

    I own a 2023 MYLR with the 2170 batteries. My priority is to maintain an optimal battery with the least battery degradation. I'm retired and the car sits for a couple days at a time. I have read that 50% SOC is best for the least battery stress. If I park the car at 50+ percent and do not plug...

    Plugged in or not plugged in?

    The only thing I have read is that the 15 V battery needs the car to be plugged in for some reason. I have a hard time believing that battery charge is not maintained by the main battery when needed. From all the treads I have read keeping the car main battery close to 50% is best with a very...

    Anyone use this Romex 6/3 cable during install?

    Is it necessary to order Front Grill Mesh prevent Inserts?

    I'm getting one. I have seen vids of what happens to that heat exchanger. It gets covered with debris and then it is quite a process of getting it clean. Tesla charges big bucks to do it. That intake has a very poor design and the heat exchanger should of been designed with easier access. You...

    Has anyone ever entered a car wash in car wash mode and had the charge port open while in car wash or exiting car wash mode? My wife said it has happened to her a few times. She noticed it open after she pulled out of car wash.

    Is 100% charge on MYLR once a month good for extended battery life?

    Ok I was at the Tesla Service Center and with my 2023 MYLR manufactured in Austin. The service rep told me it was a good idea to charge to 100% once a month to extend battery life. I have also read and seen videos this is necessary to do once in a while to balance battery. And drain battery to...

    Tire Road Hazard Warranty?

    I was told ( by Tesla and Continental) patches or plugs will not hold if they are near the side of tire due to flexing/sideloads.

    Tire Road Hazard Warranty?

    I called Continental and they allowed me to make a claim and dependent on tread wear they will discount the replacement up to 50%. But jcanoe you are right, they normally do not offer any warranty on original tires. But the problem is that no tire dealership has the Continental ProContact RX...

    Tire Road Hazard Warranty?

    Continental Tires offers a road hazard warranty. Has anyone ever made a claim? I just got a nail and the tire service I used could not guarantee the plug and patch due to the glue on the inside of tire used for holding the foam insulation. Tires are expensive, and I only have 2000 miles on 'em.

    Can you alter primary Route on navigation?

    When I select a destination, Tesla navigation will only give me one route. What if I want to use another route? Do I have to select an intermediate stop to force it on my' preferred route? Or is there another way to move route over to the way I want to go? Thx. Tony
