    No veteran plates for Teslas in AZ

    Wish I could say how I accomplished it. Had similar refusals on-line and at a DMV office. I contacted my representatives, and a few offered to assist me. but another on-line attempted went thru before I could get back to them. I would not be surprised that certain types of plates may be...

    Acquiring receipt for Model 3 order that included a wall charger

    I'm finishing up 2023 US income tax return which includes a rebate/credit for buying and installing a wall charger. I have the receipt for its later installation but not for the purchase. I have a screen print of the Tesla order page for the car including the wall charger but can't find the...

    Can Y open garage door without myQ?

    Just to clarify since some might interpret that to mean ONLY old Liftmaster, etc. brand openers can use the inexpensive MyQ adapter. That device should work with ANY brand Homelink opener since it just emulates a Homelink clicker.

    Buyer Beware! Tesla Ups Price on order by $1790.00 and And Does not Refund Order fee of $250.00!!

    I love how the MO of new members of Tesla forums is to attack anyone who offers constructive criticism to help them understand the errors of their way. ;)

    Can Y open garage door without myQ?

    Basically, I think his complaint is that issues with faulty openers cause problems for Teslas using MyQ but Teslas using HomeLink don't have unintended consequences from opener problems. Personally, I make sure my opener is installed and working properly, so MyQ is the best choice for me. I...

    Can Y open garage door without myQ?

    Which FWIW to readers does not exist for openers with MyQ built-in.

    Can Y open garage door without myQ?

    I believe the 2023 does not have Homelink built in. But it can be added either DIY or by Tesla. FWIW, any HomeLink opener can be controlled by MyQ by installing an inexpensive adapter. Essentially, a device you stick on the ceiling or wall that simply simulates a clicker for the opener. It also...

    Original Window Sticker

    Tax credit 2024 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    I'm curious why/how the IRS will give the tax credit only for a lease. Not doubting at all, but curious about what convoluted logic/regulation/law led to that. But related to that, what would be the total outlay for a single payment lease and immediate buy out? Or does Tesla not offer a single...

    Model Year 2024 Model Y

    EPA defines the tests but lets manufacturers do them. Manufacturers are allowed to lower the numbers. Another thread here discussed why Tesla ranges are more inflated than other brand/models. One possibility is those other brands chose to lower the claimed range to match their own real-world...

    Vendor Hello from Discount Tire!

    I could be wrong but thought Discount Tire only rotated tires bought from them and even then, only every x miles.

Then again, I used to destroy everything on the road with my GF's Beetle. I would pull off at the top...

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    Maybe. A long time ago in a galaxy far away, Buick once did a recall for errors in a model's owner manual. Owners were instructed to schedule an appointment with a dealer. The only thing the dealer did was put a new owner's manual in the glove box and remove the original if still there and of...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    Only because you asked: I prefer SM10s by a mile. That's why they are on my Mustang. I don't care for wheels of the VS5 style because of the abrupt change of angle where the spokes split. But the Apex version is the best of the bunch because the transition is a little softer. Just a personal...

    Make Homelink CLOSE a priority over MYQ

    MyQ will always flash lights in the garage before closing so anyone near the garage door has a warning the door will be coming down. The opener doesn't know there is someone in a car with eyes on the situation. As far as the opener knows, the command could be coming from the other side of the world.

    Dashcam not recording

    FWIW I've only had one Tesla, a 2023 M3P since mid-October. Only Manual setting of Dashcam automatically saves any recording of just driving. Not a very intuitive name for the setting. I thought automatic sounded like an optimal setting but as soon as I set that, I no longer had any recordings...

    "No Reseller" clause for Cybertruck

    What are examples of "otherwise been made in bad faith". I mean examples that don't need canceling such as "never really wanted one anyway" or "I have a 2-digit credit score"

    Backup Camera- option to remain on for a few seconds (great for parking)

    I know how to add icons to the tray. The issue is I don't see ANY icon anywhere for an app named Camera or named anything hinting at a camera. Closest is dashcam which I already added to the tray on day one. Tapping it just saves what's recording, which is why I added it to the tray.

    Backup Camera in Drive?

    Thanks. Did not know about that command. The voice command will work great to solve parking in our garage. 2023 model has no usable front parking aids. Front distances via Tesla Vision are all over the map and always wrong. We have a pretty large buffer in the garage and easy to park the car...

    Consequences for blocking EV chargers

    That's what I told them when I did that because I usually drive the Mustang to Costco. Almost as bad though because I then had to tell them I forgot the gas can. :D

    Media search for USB stopped working

    Since it did for a while, there has to be some way to get it back. I am suspecting its a bug that only gets triggered after some sequence of events, possibly just opening Radio or Tune-In the first time. Or a badly done enhancement such as trying to combine search used for the other sources with...

    Media search for USB stopped working

    More weirdness: I rebooted via steering wheel buttons. To see if I could disable Radio and Tune-In after that. No luck, still sliders would not move. So, if I can't get rid of those maybe adding others back in might have some effect. So, I enabled all sources. Original problem still existed...

    Media search for USB stopped working

    Thanks, but been there, done that. :) I can NOT de-select either Radio or Tune-In. The sliders are greyed out for those. But if those aren't causing the loss of USB search, I can tolerate them being there but unused. But very annoying that any play voice command while USB is playing currently...

    Media search for USB stopped working

    The only audio we use is a USB drive with 2-3k of songs on it. For the first month or so of ownership, we could play any song by voice command "play song-name". At some point that stopped working. Not sure exactly when because I often just listen to random shuffle. I'm trying to figure out...

    Real life experience with Xcelerate warranty?

    I'm a long way (likely never) from thinking about any 3rd party warranty. But, I assume that people buy such warranties to be protected from expensive repairs. IF these straps ever need to be replaced for safety or vehicle reliability reasons, it may be best to offer a plan that includes them...

    Effect of SOC on M3P 0-60 MPH?

    Effect of SOC on M3P 0-60 MPH?

    I read a post in a charging thread that said the poster's M3P didn't perform as well at 80% SOC as it does at 90%. Are there any figures for 0-60 (for example) at different SOCs?

    Can Y open garage door without myQ?

    FWIW, its easy to use MyQ with any HomeLink garage door opener. There is an inexpensive MyQ kit that converts MyQ commands to HomeLink. It contains two garage mounted devices: (1) a sensor attached to the door to monitor its open/close status, and (2) a MyQ device signed onto your WiFi that...

    Catastrophic AC failure

    Unfortunately, human nature takes some of the blame. A certain percent would figure ways to cause expensive parts to fail just before warranty was up if the replacement had a new warranty period.

    Why is curb rash always the wife's fault? I curbed a set while dating my wife of 49 years but was her fault. I was head in parking with a curb on the passenger side. I wanted to be as close as possible for clearance to the car on my side. So, I asked her how far I was from the curb when just...

    Air Bag covers dangerous?

    Yep, that's pretty much a given. So is the factory part over the bag. So, it comes down to an aftermarket cover has been tested and govt or manufacturer certified. It sounds like the sort of thing that govt might have standards or laws for. But nothing pops up at least with my search terms.
