    Wall connector amp setting

    I’m having a wall connector installed on a 50 amp breaker, is it necessary to go into the wall connectors settings and change it to 50 amp breaker or does it do that by itself? I don’t want it to charge at 60 amps when it’s on a 50 amp breaker

    How hard to replace model 3/Y screen yourself?

    Weather is starting to warm up some, 80 degrees today, so I used my AC for a decent amount of time for the first time today I had the AC set to 70 degrees, just going by this 1 time trip the energy consumption seemed a good bit higher than my heat pump when it was 35+ degrees outside Is this...

    Camera view while summoning?

    Does summon show 3-4 of your cameras on your phone while the car is moving? If it doesn’t it would be nice if it did in cases where you can’t see every angle of your car from a distance, would give me more confidence to try using it

I’ve been setting car to 73 when it’s hot outside but it really doesn’t feel like 73 inside...

    Using only the camera turn signal when changing lanes

    Does anyone really need to use the mirrors? The camera that comes up with the turn signal gives you a much better view and even a red flash warning if someone is beside you I saw highland has a blind spot light by the mirrors now but wondered what that was even needed for when you have the camera

    You think Tesla service center would install emergency release on the back doors that’s on highland?

    I saw they finally put emergency release pulls on highland at the back doors The old model 3’s actually have a release cable in the back doors there’s just nothing attached to them that you can pull, I probably could do it myself but it would be nice if service would do it for a couple hundred...

    One thing that makes me uncomfortable with FSD or autopilot

    When I drive I tend hug the outside line of the road, there’s been a few times over my years of driving that a driver in the oncoming lane of traffic drifted a few inches to 1 foot over the middle of road into my lane FSD tends to get much closer to the center of the line in a road rather than...

    Auto vs manual AC efficiency

    Would it be more efficient to manually put the AC or heater on full blast then just turn it off once you’re comfortable after a few mins? Or just leave it on auto for most of the trip?

    Last week it said my car has been through 138 cycles, I looked at it today now it says 146 cycles even though I’ve the app says I’ve only put in 140 kwh which would only be about 2 cycles not 8 Is this accurate or should I ignore it

    Forward collision warning setting

    If I put this setting on late instead of standard will that stop the car from slamming on brakes when a car 500 feet away turns in front me while I’m using cruise control? If that doesn’t stop it is there another way?

    Looking for some knowledge on the new lithium 16v battery

    When Tesla first came out with this they said it would last the life of the vehicle, do they mean it will last as long as the HV battery pack? So 300k-500k miles? Or did they mean it will last through the warranty period? I’m guessing this hasn’t been out long enough for one to be replaced but...

    How are the wheel bearings on long range or performance holding up for you with lot of miles?

    Esp with the performance and its acceleration and big wheels, is there anyone with 150k to 200k miles still on the original bearings? I remember on our old family SUV gas cars we would have almost 300k miles and the wheel bearings were still fine I’m curious since this car is heavier with a lot...

    Strange to me that the model Y and 3 with AMD ryzen don’t support steam

    I would think the amd ryzen is atleast as strong as the steam deck, and I can play almost every steam game on that They could give some warning that you could experience low performance for most games when playing but the option should atleast be there

    Was going to bring the psi to the recommended 42 today and was surprised to see the reading was much lower than what the car says, is there a way to reset now that I put the air in?

    It takes a lot of energy to preheat the battery in the morning, maybe I shouldn’t?

    I turned on the climate to heat the interior of the car this morning but it also said it was going to pre condition the battery, I think I lost 6 miles of range in 20 minutes I think it would be better to drive the car for a few mins then turn on the climate and turn it off after it’s warm enough
