    Emergency charging from a portable generator

    I tried charging it using the mobile connector and the basic 15amp 110volt outlet on the generator, but had no luck. As soon as I'd plug the car in, I'd get an error message to the effect of "communications error with charger" or something similar to that.

    Emergency charging from a portable generator

    I've got a 23 MYLR that I usually charge on a 60amp circuit via the wall connector outside my garage. I have the mobile connector, and I usually just keep it in my car. Now I'm interested in being prepared in the event of an extended power outage in my area. When I first bought my house, I...

    Tesla will not Sell you vehicle without proof of residence in state where car is located.

    This seems to be a really hit or miss kind of thing. I'm not sure how much is up to state laws and how much is up to Tesla internal policy, and I've seen plenty of speculating, but little in the way of facts one way or the other. I can tell you, however, that I ordered my MY in my home state...

    Powered cooler for sub trunk. Questions & Suggestions

    Hmm yes good point about the weather. When I tested it, it was indoors at my house, so it was shaded and about 70 degrees. The cooler would draw about 40 watts while the compressor was running. However I'll have to try it again when we're in the middle of the summer and place it outdoors in...

    Powered cooler for sub trunk. Questions & Suggestions

    I actually ordered that exact one as well and it's arriving today. However I purchased a different from Walmart about a month ago and I'm going to see which one I like better. After some testing, I've discovered that as long as sentry mode is enabled, the rear 12 volt outlet will always stay...

    Does the 12 volt accessory plug in the trunk area of the Y stay active if car is turned off?

    Looks like I may need to correct this. I was camping over the weekend and using the 12 volt cooler. The first two nights all was fine, although on the third one I disabled sentry mode to save battery. When I woke up the cooler was also off. I tested this a little more when I got home and it...

    Does the 12 volt accessory plug in the trunk area of the Y stay active if car is turned off?

    I've read that the new Model Ys with the 16 volt battery keep the rear 12 volt outlet powered at all times, but I haven't seen an actual source for that. The current owner's manual states that: I bolded the relevant section. It states the 12 volt outlets are powered up whenever the vehicle...

    Question about traffic visualization

    Is it possible to change the default traffic visualization view? I can drag my finger around it to change the viewing angle and zoom level, but when I let go it snaps back to the default. 2023 MYLR, no EAP or FSD.

    How do I fast forward Tesla media? Or get it to resume playback where I left off

    Give it another shot. For whatever reason, it just started randomly working a couple of days ago. I can scrub in Slacker perfectly fine.

    How do I fast forward Tesla media? Or get it to resume playback where I left off

    I signed up for Spotify just to test this. It does indeed seem to work fine with Spotify and I can scrub the song as one would expect. Still no luck in Slacker. I sat for like five minutes trying over and over just to make sure the car didn't have some picky one pixel wide magic spot that I...

    How do I fast forward Tesla media? Or get it to resume playback where I left off

    Perhaps in Spotify or another app, but definitely in the one that I'm using for streaming. It's the orange icon with some vertical white lines. I'm not sure what the actual service is.

    Powered cooler for sub trunk. Questions & Suggestions

    I'm looking at getting an electric compressor cooler and am trying to find the largest one that'll fit in the sub trunk of my 2023 MYLR5. I also have a couple of questions about how they work. This will be used while camping (in a tent, not the car). It'll be drawing power off the low voltage...

    How do I fast forward Tesla media? Or get it to resume playback where I left off

    I guess I'm really bad at Google because I don't usually have to resort to making a thread for questions like this. I primarily listen to the built in Tesla media options. I'm not sure what that's called exactly, but I guess it's the music and talk and podcast options that come with the premium...

    Got any road trip advice?

    Definitely get the plug kit and a compressor. They're so cheap it's dumb not to. Just yesterday I was leaving work and saw that my 3 week old MY had a totally flat tire. I was able to use the compressor to get enough air into it to make it to my mechanic, although it was loosing pressure...

    Questions about scheduled departure

    2023 MYLR Am I only able to set the scheduled departure time in the app in 15 minute increments? I tried to set it for 5:25am, but the minute hand snaps to 5:30 when I let go. If I try to set it for 5:20, the minute hand snaps to 5:15. Looks like it has to be on the :00 :15 :30 or :45. So I...

    Flew to Tennesse and drove 800 miles back with my new Tesla

    Not at all. It took exactly three phone calls to the dealership. One to ask if it was possible, one for them to call me back and say yes, and another because of a random question I had. Other than that I flew down Friday early afternoon and was back home Saturday around 6pm. And that's with...

    Flew to Tennesse and drove 800 miles back with my new Tesla

    So I placed an order for a MYLR 5 seat, blue/black, 19" tires, with tow package on 2/12. I'm in New York and was looking at a potential delivery as late as June. I saw an identical build pop up on waitingfortesla.com that had just been built the day before and was on a truck en route to...

    Final payment, can't get Plaid to reliably work

    So in a couple of days I'm flying out of state to pick up a new MYLR (thanks waitingfortesla!). I've been texting the SA and he said most people pay by Plaid while in the store on their delivery day. I've been trying to link my Bank of America account to Plaid in the Tesla app, and sometimes...

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    Yeah I keep checking there. I've seen some I would take a road trip to buy, but unfortunately it looks like they can only be registered in their current state or one bordering it.

    EV tax credit and EV charger credit

    Installation is definitely covered by the federal tax credit. "Total cost of qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling property" includes installation.

    EV tax credit and EV charger credit

    Are you sure? I've always read that it is. "it allows taxpayers to claim up to $1,000 for EV charger hardware and installation" "the tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act is 30% of the cost of hardware and installation" "The renewed credit most notably can be used to finance 30...

    basic autopilot: a bit disappointed

    I mean yeah, that's exactly what they advertise it does. It shouldn't be any surprise. If you want it to do more, pay for enhanced autopilot or FSD.

    Tire rotation on a Y Performance ? How is that possible with different sizes?

    You can't, basically. Well you can rotate them side to side, but that doesn't really help much.

    New York/New Jersey Waiting Room

    Ha, do what I did when I was on a test drive and got stuck. The rep did not give the credit card key for the vehicle and I didn't know putting it in park basically shut it off, and I couldn't restart it. I was trying to call the store and was on hold for 15+ minutes all while sitting by the...

    TWC: Native Tesla connector vs J1772

    I've recently ordered an MYLR and am looking at buying a level 2 charger for my home. I see Tesla offers two - one with a Tesla connector and one with a J1772 connector. The Tesla will be my only EV for now, but who knows, eventually in the future my wife may want one that's not a Tesla. I...

    Discussion: HW.4 Suite - Availability, retrofit, suitability etc.

    I placed an order for a MYLR a few days ago and have an estimated delivery anywhere from March to May. I'm assuming it'll be HW3 and lacking USS, which a lot of people seem to think will make it nerfed. My question is if I don't really care about FSD, how important is HW4? It sounds like the...
