I'm trying to figure out how to get my car to have recirc on and also the rear passenger fan whenever I am driving the car. It seems if I leave it on auto, it might do it each time, but I'm wondering if it's driver specific too since I have different cards and cell phones program to the car...

I saw that someone is making a ring that you can wear on your finger that acts the same way that a key card does. This way you don't have to worry about the strap on your card breaking or falling off it you have a major wipeout.

I have a 2018 model that has EAP but not FSD. My navigate on autopilot button is ghosted, and when I go to the settings for that is also ghosted. Someone from Tesla just called me and sent me a update, but it's the 44.1 and it didn't do anything. My neighbor has a new model Y and it has the same...

Oops I sorry I meant I don't like the model Y because it's a SUV. A model 3 has the fixed rear parcel shelf that goes across behind the rear seats which prevents you from putting anything large in the trunk

I hate that the parcel tray behind the rear seats in the model 3 only lets you put items in that are about 2 ft tall. Bought a microwave and I could barely get it in the back seats to get it home. And it's a pain trying to get my bike in the back. I don't like the model 3 because it's a SUV and...

The service technician said they cost about twice as much and don't really last that much longer from what he's seen. Now I'm getting another warning that the 12v battery needs to be replaced. I'm wondering if I got a bad one as a replacement. But the contactors keep making that clunking noise...

Electrified Garage used to be about a mile away from me in Riviera Beach but they closed and don't have anything near me.

They replaced thebattery and then I went for a drive and it said my AC wasn't working and needed servicing so I made an appointment. Now this morning I am getting the same battery warning message as before, along with the air conditioning message, and it won't let me charge the car with the...

My battery was totally dead, so I had mobile service come to replace it. They also did the rear harness recall. The last time I drove the car I didn't have the air conditioning on, but it was warm today so when I turned it on it didn't work and gave me these messages: Climate keeper unavailable...

My first battery lasted about 2 1/2 years and once I got the warning I went to the service center for the next day. Now a little over 2 years later my phone app gave me a notice at about 9:00 at night that the battery needed to be replaced soon. I went out to the car to check it and to make sure...

My original one on my model 3 lasted 2 years and 11 months. I just got the warning that my current one is dying and it's been 2 yrs and 5 months. I'm in Florida and it really hot. However my ice car Lotus used to go through them every 4 years or less and I bought the optima one that looks like...

Just make sure you have gas if you have a generator. Was in Florida in 2005 when we had three hurricanes back to back. Lost power for 3 weeks at a time, got it back for a little while and then lost it for another 2 weeks. Now all of our gas stations have backup power. This will be a true test of...

Tesla can take the money that they're making from this and put superchargers all over the place. It would be like having a monopoly on gas stations. Then if they can figure a way to give Tesla owners a lower price to supercharge than other types of automobiles, it might cause more people to buy...

There was a flood in Fort Lauderdale the other day and as a result, the tankers that carry the gas from the port weren't able to get out. The other day was really hard to find premium gas, and now a friend has told me that her co-workers are telling her that they are having trouble finding...

I live in Palm Beach County and recently there was flooding in Fort Lauderdale. That is where most of the gas gets offloaded and put into tankers. The tankers haven't been able to get out for a few days, and the day after the flooding my neighbor said she was unable to find premium gas. A friend...

Got update from FPL. It's not a Tesla charger but I'm sure a lot of electric vehicle owners will be annoyed if it's not fixed over the Easter holiday

Sounds like a bunch of 12 yr old girls having an argument at a slumber party. At least most of them have grown up and have stopped playing video arcade games by the time they got their drivers licenses. But then this guy? is in California, so dont even get me started about all the wackadoodles...

I just got a set of these and I like them. The only strange thing is that on the tire rack site the 245/45/18 has the exact same with and height dimensions as the 235s which doesn't make sense. I contacted Michelin and they said just check with the dealer. The 245s would have a better load...

Has anyone compared the Pilot Sport All Season to the PILOT SPORT 4S? I will never drive in snow since Im in South Florida. However I noticed the off-seasons have a 45,000 mi warranty while the sport 4S only has a 20,000 mile warranty. The All seasons also cost less, so I ordered them from...

I charge at home about 80% of the time, and then about 10% at the local city chargers which are free if I am in the area, and then about 10% on superchargers for long road trips. I agree that the most economical and easiest way to do it is at home. I hope that once Elon opens up the...

I have Progressive on my model 3 and my Lotus Elise and only pay about $600 every 6 months for coverage. I could get the Elise covered for less with Geico, but then I would lose the two-car discount with Progressive. I signed up online and pay my bill in full so I get an extra discount so that...

I live in South Florida and the supercharger around me on Riviera Beach used to have time of day pricing. Recently they changed it so it's always around 43 since all the time. However there are other chargers in the area that are still time of day. Does Tesla look at the volume of supercharging...

If you are really good friends with people across the street with a garage, ask if you can plug your charger into an outlet in their garage and then park your car in front of their garage door and charge at night or at times when it wont matter if their car would be blocked in the garage. The...

I'm in So FL and just noticed that the price for supercharging in the area went up. Some places charge different rates depending on the time of day, and some in No FL charge the same rate regardless of the time of day and both prices went up. But Florida Power and Light raised up their...

The Nema outlet

Anyone know why the Ukrainian air force haven't bombed Moscow to get back at Putin? If 40 million Ukrainian citizens waved white flags and walked up to the 40 mile long convoy and said they want to surrender, it would be over a million people per mile. How would the Russians handle that? Or if...

I had the same issue but once I replaced the outlet in the wall it stopped getting hot and giving me the error message. Prior to that, I brought the unit to the service center and they tested it and said it was ok. I just have the cheap Home Depot outlet, but will be replacing it with one of the...

Here is what it says when I click on Sign Off. Might be something with the settings on my phone? In any case it's no big deal since I keep the key card in my wallet in case my phone battery ever goes dead.

Is the Port St Lucie charger off of 95 near 5 Guys being redone? Someone posted that they went there last week and new superchargers we're being installed. If I go on trips I usually stop there on the way back. Just want to make sure that I stop further up if I'm coming down from the north.

I got a note that the Tesla app that is on my phone had an update a few weeks ago so I installed it and didn't notice anything. Then I saw on another site that the update showed more info about charging history and how much you charge and if it was at home or at a supercharger or at other...

I already installed the 14-50 plug and mistakenly thought most garage door openers used the 6-20 plug so that I could charge faster than a regular plug when visiting friends. The 5-20 doesn't change much faster than a regular outlet. For some reason they don't use heat pump water heaters or home...

Funny thing is that I have a 6-20 outlet in my garage but it's for a hot water heater. I think they changed the code and new ones have to be hard wired in. Most new water heaters are about 4500 watts and take more than 20 amps. I'm lucky that mine is 25 years old and still working.

You are correct. I was looking at the shape of the plug instead of the shape of the outlet. Thought that since the plug size was smaller, that it was 120 volts. Sorry for the confusion and my dyslexia at looking at pictures. At least I didn't order the plug today.

It's a 6-20 120 volt which is not 240. But according to the charts, it charges a lot faster than most of the 15 amp 120 volt plugs

Just noticed that my garage door opener is plugged into a 6-20 outlet in the ceiling. I visit relatives and charge on the standard wall plug in their garage over the weekend on my Model 3 at about 3 mph of range. If I got the 6-20 adapter, I could unplug the garage door opener and use that...

Just noticed that I have outlets in my ceiling for garage door openers and that they are 6-20. Always thought it was a 5-20 plug. Since only one of the garage doors has an opener, I could have avoided putting in the 240 volt outlet and charged at about 15 mph instead of 30, which would have met...

I don't like it that the trip odometer only shows full miles instead of 10/th of a mile. Also there are only 3 or 4 buttons that you can drag and drop. Trying to go between the radio and the online stations was a pain until I found out you have to use the one button and then pick something on...

Elon will most likely wait until 2022 since he will be resident of Texas for that year. This way he saves by not paying the higher state tax rates in CA. .

I was visiting my brother and let him use my car to go to the store and he didn't know I could monitor it. When he got back with it, I asked him why he went from 50 to 90 along one of the local roads. He said that he figured with all the technology that I probably was monitoring him. Told him...

I was using a USB hub that allows you to plug in up to 3 devices. When I tried connecting the two phone power cords and a thumb drive with music, I got the error message. I kept a separate thumb drive plugged in to the other port for using Sentry mode. Tesla service said that even though some...

I just got the mobile update so my screen on my phone app looks like the one posted above. A few days ago I had an update on the cars screen that gave me the car wash and other options. Did the mobile app screen just change today, or was I just late in getting it?

Why does it have to be so early? At least the beach will be empty so I can get a good parking space!

It would be nice if they would use the income from others charging at a higher cost to lower the price that Tesla Owners pay. Or even make it free for Tesla Owners. This would encourage other EV owners to buy Teslas when it came time to trade in or sell their existing EVs Sort of like a gas...

Checked the car app and it said a few cars were there currently charging.

Is it possible to switch computers? Let's say someone has a totalled car with FSD. Could they take out the computer and put it into car that had 2.5 hardware and would it work? The owner of the totalled car already paid the 10k for it so if they own the hardware in the car, can't they just sell...

So if I have a July 2018 model 3 build with EAP and the 2.5 computer, I need to pay $1500 to update the computer and then pay for a subscription that only has the advantage of being able to recognize traffic lights. I already have Summon, Navigate on Autopilot, etc so it's not worth it to pay...

Does it really make a difference. My other cars I owned up until 10 years ago never came with a filter. And I think I only changed mine once after 5 years since I happenned to see one when I was buying an oil filter. Doesn't hitting the recirculation button prevent bad smells and outside germs...

Can I start a class action suit against all car makers on behalf of anyone who was gotten a speeding ticket for going 90 miles an hour? They know that the maximum limit is about 80 in the United States and about 70 in most states so why do they make cars that can faster than this causing us to...
