    Upgrade to 400amp Service / Powerwalls, Solar, Non-backed Up Loads, Dedicated EV Meter, Oh My!

    Current setup has been up and running for about 2 years and is follows: Utility meter brings 200amp service into non-backed up load panel with 200amp main breaker and 225 amp rated bus bar. This panel has the car charger and my second solar inverter in it. Lugs come out of the bottom and go to...

    Lexus LS460 19" Rims on Model S

    Trying to figure out what I'm missing. I have a set of 5-spoke OEM Lexus LS460 19" rims with new Primacy MX4 tires. According to spec, they are a 5x120 bolt pattern. Low and behold, it looks like the Tesla OEM rims are 19" on my S90D and come with a 5x120 bolt pattern. Any reason the Lexus rims...

    Model S Horn Replacement

    Around 5 months ago, I was driving through a parking lot and hit a deceivingly shallow puddle. The water had enough force to go up into the lower grill area and pop the pre-refresh nose cone off. That part snapped back on and there didn't seem to be any other damage at the time.... Until I...

    How to fix v9's UI problems

    I'm trying to figure out what it is about v9 that is bothering me the most. The obvious choppiness of the display and the force NAV in the background is certainly a big thing, but the HVAC and audio controls are also big problems as well. I would like cold weather back under options. It's fine...

    Get back those dropped framerates with v9

    With roughly 150k+ S/X units that run v1 MCU hardware, at least, I've been pretty disappointed with the interface interactions in general of v9. In particular: 1. The choppiness of switching between screens 2. The extra steps do things (for example, if you had the cold weather screen up in v8 in...

    Why doesn't Tesla change the rear-liftgate tone on the S?

    I needed what I thought was an alarm speaker for a project so I dug up my old rear-hatch speaker. You know, the one that makes that terrible screeching noise in the S. Apparently, it's just a speaker, not a piezzo beeping speaker like I originally thought. Which begs the obvious question, why...

    Tesla Energy Not In Ohio

    So even though we are the 9th largest state for Tesla auto sales, we still can't get referral rewards or Tesla Energy products here. So that being the case, we decided to not wait around for Tesla, and we did a grid-tied solar system on our own: Solar Installation I'm happy to answer any...

    Odd Charge Behavior, Complete at 95%

    I set the charge to 100% last night. App notified me and displayed charge complete at 95% despite the car still saying the charge limit was set to 100%. Charge limit was confirmed in app as well as car. I'll get version number here shortly.

    NavTool Integration

    Has anyone seen this yet? NAVTOOL INC They are claiming they can integrate with the factory screen and display alternate video there. If that's the case, it means watching videos at superchargers, non flipped front camera installations, and additional camera views.

    Model S Rear Facing Seat Cooling

    So we are quickly approaching year 3 of Model S ownership and it's always been a goal to try and make the rear facing seats as comfortable/useful as possible even in the hot summers. One would think that Tesla does not care for the well-being of it's 3rd row passengers when you look at how...

    Qi Wireless Charging for Refreshed Center Console

For my application, I ended up using slightly different parts: 3 Coil Charging Pad USB C Charging Receiver I'm not...

    Blocking the signal from the key FOB

    I know we all try to do everything we can so that the key FOB works, but I had a need for it NOT to work. Sometimes when I go out running or climbing, I want to leave the FOB in the car, yet I also don't want someone to steal the car. Plus, my wife likes to leave her purse in the car sometimes...

    Another example of a user requested feature implemented..... Wiper pause

    I'll find the exact user that requested it later, but I just noticed in 2.52.22 that if wipers are on and you open the door, the wipers will pause when weight is removed from the seat. It's the obscure things like this that make me think Tesla does read these forums and is slowly, but...

    So what's the trick with Destination Charging?

    After a very successful Destination Charger installed in my local office park, I got to thinking that I should look at the places where I do mid-distance travel and see if those locations would be as interested as I was in free charging hardware from Tesla. I've been really surprised on the...

    Turn Signal Chime Not Working

    So fellow beta testers, or "owners" rather, I've noticed some strangeness in 2.50.144 with regards to the turn signals. My rough observations are: turn signal on, chime is silent for 4 blinks, then goes for 12 blinks with chime, then goes silent turn signal on, chime goes for 19 blinks, then...

    Tesla to Start Producing 10-30 and 6-50 Again

    Just got the email. They are putting the 10-30 and 6-50 back into production in order to replace them. Apparently according to the email, they share some components with the 14-30's which they are also replacing.

    Sunroof Functionality in v8

    Just a bit of a PSA, the sunroof opening and closing is now allowed at speeds above 80mph. Not sure if anyone remembers, if you tried to open or close the sunroof above 80mph, you would receive a "sunroof position not allowed" message on the IC.

    Would you be interested in an AP 2.0 retrofit?

    I thought that with the recent article about AP 2.0 hardware possibly being out in the wild now or soon, it would be a good time to let Tesla know that many of us would be severely interested in a hardware retrofit package. Of course, we still don't know what the additional features or...

    For Sale - Sexy Piano Black Floor

    I recently had the new Integrated Center Console installed. They do not re-use the flooring piece. It is my understanding that 2012 owners may not have had a non-carpet option back when they ordered so this might be your chance to class it up a bit. It was used for about 3 months, so if you...

    Integrated Console Review/Comparison

    Let's have a discussion about center console options....

    So now it's official, there is an "Integrated Center Console" available on the official Tesla Accessories website. This unit is a complete, one piece center console that goes from under the touch screen, back to the rear seat vents; and it has two rear cupholders. It's unknown how many...

    NEMA 5-20 to 6-15

    Similar to how the Tt-40 to 14-30 custom adapters work, could another adapter be made to go from 5-20 on the UMC to 6-15 on the recepticle? The reason I ask is because I have access to jobsite temporary electric with a 6-15 connector on a 20 amp breaker. If so, what would such a pin out look like.

    Hey Tesla, there is a need for that NEMA 14-30 adapter still!

    30amp RV Charging

    90D Range Refressh 300+ miles

    Power Lift-gate Loophole
