    D-Vader finally gets his ride! 😉

    Pretty funny. Those who live or moved here from out of state / country are telling me I’m wrong. San Fran is the other one transplants and people who don’t live in San Francisco say.

    D-Vader finally gets his ride! 😉

    People in California don’t say Cali. SoCal, NorCal is fine, but only people east of the Rockies say Cali.

    Can you enable the rear fog light via Toolbox?

    Why would you want too, just blinds everyone behind you.

    Buy EV in another state with No Sales Tax?

    I took delivery of an aircraft in NC, another time OK. Had to pay sales tax in CA.

    Buy EV in another state with No Sales Tax?

    Tuff to do without getting caught. Don’t know what state you live in, but California knows all those tricks and are ready for it. Keep in mind, your license plate is recorded often and I assume the state has access to many of those license plate cameras. If you own a house out of state and...

    Serious Battery Issue ... New Owner :(

    What you’re saying isn’t clear to me. You’re driving 60 miles, when you get home you have 40% on the battery. Sounds like 60 miles out, then back home for 120 mile total? Sounds a little better than average to me. You have a MYP not LR. Basic rule I use for driving at 75/80 mph, I estimate 2...

    Solar panels cancelled due to concern over my roof's strength - experiences with this?

    Have you looked at legging up the rafters to shorten the span? A heaver roof was put on my house, concrete shingles. The contractor added legs from the top of walls (in the attic) to the rafter cutting the span almost in half.

    Disappointed with being blocked for pointing out some facts and information

    Don’t know what you posted, but some people believe weird stuff and think because it was on Facebook it’s true. Sandy Hook really did happen. Covid was real and killed millions. Injecting bleach into your blood system is fatal. JFK is not alive. Comet Pizza is not a front for child...

    Recently bought a 2019 Model 3 SR+. It somehow has free supercharging... Advice/Info.

    Don’t think it matters how fast FREE charging at work is because it’s FREE and assume the OP will be there for 8 hours. The free supercharging is nice, but how often will you need it? In my first 13 months of ownership, 16k miles I’ve used a supercharger three times. Two of the three times it...

    Do the lies about Tesla ever stop?

    You clearly didn't pay attention to anything I posted. Here is the Go F*** Yourself video. Do you think the media was out to get Musk? The host appears to be shocked at Musk.

    Just bought my first Tesla. Now what?

    I used YouTube while sitting in the car. Found a three minute video, one at a time on what I wanted to know.

    Do the lies about Tesla ever stop?

    You don’t believe a word of it? Elon publicly made a fricking mess of Twitter. Tesla has lost their EV edge. Naturally, it was easy to be the industry leader when there was little to no competition. Elon has lied, lied and lied. Of course the press is picking up on that. Tesla released...

    Aggressive Behaviour towards EV's

    I have a good friend who lives outside Auckland NZ, he’s in SoCal couple times a month. Pretty sure I know what a wanker is but I’ve never heard that before. Love it! In SoCal, Tesla’s may outnumber other brands of cars on the highway. I think we’re safe.

    Faulty Tyre Inflator

    Some cars must be on for the power ports to work, oh heck, it’s a cigarette lighter. Could that be the issue?

    M3P Roof glass gap

    I think you should take it back to Tesla and request a perfect car. To date, no manufacturer has made a perfect car so it might be a long wait. But really, unless it leaks water I don’t see that being an issue. Just enjoy the new car and stop looking for faults.

    What's this high mileage 2022 Hertz Model 3 worth?

    I too rented cars often, about 3 times a month. Seems like Avis retired cars at about 30k miles and Auto Nation scooped them up.

    Hi, potential new Tesla owner

    Best advice I got when looking at a M3: Get in and out of one 4 or 5 times and decide if it's big enough for you. If you're 6' or taller it's a really small car. Went to the MY and tried it on, wow what a difference. Bought the MY. Two friends told me they bought a M3 for themself, both gave...

    Tesla goes over cliff-pacific-coast-highway-California-miracle survivors

    I say take him back to the cliff and throw him off without the car. If he survives, he goes free. If he doesn’t survive the state saves a lot of court cost. I see this as a win / win for everyone.

    FSD Disengages on dark highway

    I think the FSD disconnect is more a result of poorly marked or faded lane markers than a dark road. If the cameras could clearly see reflective paint lane markers I suspect FSD wouldn’t have had an issue.

    Do any of the windows come tinted?

    All windows on a car have some level of tint. Get an appointment then work with the tint shop when you get there. My experience is they will have a better idea than you of what to do.

    A Phoneix grandmother locked out of her Tesla with her grandchild in the back seat

    This is a real issue. It would be a good practice to open the driver door before closing the kids door. I’d say open the window, but afraid they would close on their own. They should get involved. AZ has been over 100* every day for a couple of weeks now. Not sure how long a kid can survive...

    Well that sucks [coolant leak]

    Not sure how much that applies to EV’s. Internal engine parts don’t need an oil film to prevent rust. Automatic transmissions don’t gunk up. Fuel injectors don’t get plugged. Gasoline doesn’t get old. Batteries don’t need charged by running the engine. Exhaust systems don’t rust from...

    Weird noise on the rear driver side tyre

    Can you tell which wheel is making the noise? Might want to loosen it up, then retighten?

    Tesla Home Charger - 48 or 60 amp?

    Yes, 60amp max at the breaker. Amps will downgrade 20% at the car giving you 48amps. I’m not a sparky but IIRC the downgrade is due to continuous draw, unlike an electric motor (pool pump) which uses a lot of power to start then it reduces the power required to operate.

    Weird noise on the rear driver side tyre

    That is a weird noise. I’d not drive it until it’s resolved. Are the lug nuts tight? How about jacking up the car and turning one wheel at a time to figure out which wheel is making the noise?

    "Person trapped in a tesla when battery dies" news story

    That’s supposed to be a secret? That woman was kind of dumb when she couldn’t figure out how to open the door. If she just looked down she’d see the release. But she was really dumb to take it to the media after seeing what a stupid mistake she made. When I bought my NEW Tesla, they took me...

    Pretty sure your entire warranty isn’t void. However, Tesla isn’t going to repair damage caused by a third party.

    May be the way you drive. Stop going further than the end of your driveway! The other driver accepted blame? Do you have any video to share? Not that I don’t believe you, just like seeing the videos.

    2013 battery healing itself?

    At my hangar I have a 120v 15a breaker and I’m about 200’ from the breaker box. FREE CHARGING, I thought and bought a mobile charger. The car is reporting 12a and it charges at 2mph, when my refrigerator kicks on it goes to 1mph or none at all. What little power I get is used up by the fans...

    2013 battery healing itself?

    That’s a good point. Take it to a Tesla Supercharger, if you haven’t already, and see what happens. The Supercharger will bypass the cars charging system. That and 120v charging with low amps has its issues.
  47. fholbert

    Anyone fitted an additional 12v outlet in the trunk?

    FWIW later model Tesla’s come with an adapter in the trunk. In my ‘23 MY it wasn’t clearly visible when standing, but I felt around and found it. The USB C plugs on your device could be very handy.

    Supercharger Etiquette: Queuing

    There is a simple but undocumented rule at all Tesla Superchargers. You might want to print this page and keep it in your glove box. Stall priority is tied to model and color. A Model Y has priority over other models and a white MY has priority over other colors. If you need to jump the line...

    Any way to PREVENT forgetting your phone inside the Tesla?
