    Stealth mode for camping -- pretty please!

    No problem if you know 20% will get you to a charger. But camp mode without aircon would save both electricity/range & noise. And my alarm did go off with ~50% charge.

    Stealth mode for camping -- pretty please!

    I thought you meant the ability to turn off the aircon without turning on the alarm. That in itself would be wonderful: I posted the whole sordid story in: So I tried camping in the car for one night...... At least two others there had problems with the alarm going off while camping. I...

    So I tried camping in the car for one night......

    I’m currently camping in a dark sky park, and the camper next to me must want to kill me as my alarm also just went off… Driving round the water’s edge pretty much every passing place was filled with camper vans. I reached the one I had researched and found someone arrived here before me. She...

    Add waypoints in app

    The app's route planner's main purpose IMHO is to let you plan the route when you're not in the car so you can see when you need to leave. But the planner will happily give you a route to your destination that leaves you with insufficient charge to proceed. If you could add waypoints (as you...

    Best shades for windows while camping.

    I'm facing the same issue - what did you end up doing?

    Ceramic Coating - Yes or No

    Excellent, thanks @GlynG while I agree with you and @init6 that there's nothing special about Tesla paint. I do however think there is something special with their Owners Manual and its ban on hydroxides, washing mitts, silicones for interiors, window treatments, chemical based wheel cleaners...

    No longer possible to contact Tesla Support via chat or email?

    Hmm, in the UK, I have managed to OPEN a chat fine. The trouble is of the last 5 chats, only 2 actually connected with an agent & both were accidentally disconnected. Today, I got straight in, but "Welcome to Tesla, how can I help you?" is the only message I have received - that was 25 minutes...

    open doors from touchscreen?

    So what does the manual mean when it says: "You can also use the touchscreen popup to open and close doors when inside Model 3 while the vehicle is in Park."? I'm guessing it must be a typo as I can't find it, and there's no way it could close the doors...

    Ceramic Coating - Yes or No

    Brilliant, thanks @GlynG. Perhaps slightly off topic, but what cleaning products do you use? Reading the manual was rather scary... Tesla don't have any product recommendations, just lots of ingredients to avoid. I contacted Autoglym who were extremely helpful: reading through the manual &...

    Chargeplace Scotland - App or RFID card?

    I went to an "unknown" condition charger yesterday. It was clearly working as one car was actively charging and a second had just finished and kindly moved on for me. My card hasn't arrived yet, so I can't be certain, but I imagine the other two cars used RFID cards to charge, and I imagine...

    Ceramic Coating - Yes or No

    Do you know if the Makita DPO600 (Random Orbit Polisher LXT) is a DA? I can see a DA Makita on Amazon for >£800 but it is mains powered and I know I'd cause more damage with the lead than I'd fix with the polisher... I have a bunch of LXT batteries, and the only other LXT polisher I can see is...

    Chargeplace Scotland - App or RFID card?

    I'd just add that while the app means you can see whether a charger is currently occupied, if the app can't tell you that then you likely won't be able to charge with the app when you arrive. However I believe you can still in such cases charge with the RFID card.
