I had the same problem with over-aggressive beeping in a new Model Y when entering/leaving our garage, or getting near shrubbery. I never associated them with "parking", like pulling into a marked place in a lot or on the street, but, sure enough, silencing the Park Assist Chimes solved the...

Try this [full explanation follows]: 1) After making sure all fobs have good batteries, leave a fob in the center console and exit the car for 15 minutes. (Obviously, this make your Tesla easier to steal, so do it prudently). 2) Get back in the car. I found a "FOB not in car" message, which...

I saw this message, changed the battery in my fob, but the message persisted. I checked the battery in my wife's fob, and it was down to 80%, so I changed it. The message persisted. I popped and restored both batteries in the car. The message persisted. Both batteries test 100% (on a tester that...

When I was in for door-latch service, I mentioned that easy entry didn't seem to be working. The service person told me that easy entry is associated with a fob. He did something to make it work with the fob I always use. It sounds like using a different fob will not work with easy entry. If...

The Model X I bought back in 7/2016 just had its latches replaced. Part number 1446159-00-C. Driver's side door sometimes refused to close, which was not good, until I determined I could get the door to latch by opening it from the inside, then quickly closing it. Parts were not in stock when I...

I don't find the requirements ridiculous or particularly objectionable. I'm always coming up on pedestrians in parking lots who don't hear me coming, so they don't move out of the way. I'm unwilling to honk my horn. To me, that would be much more objectionable than a gentle beep. Here's my...

We just visited Hagerstown, MD, on the way back from Morgantown, WV. I was hoping to get all the way to NJ with that single stop, but after I plugged into one charger, I set navigate to get us home, and I got an alert that charging had been interrupted, check the connection. Instead, I moved to...

Is it my imagination, or has model X regenerative braking gotten less aggressive after recent updates? Used to be, if let up on the accelerator, the car would slow down. Now it seems to coast, unless I'm already at low speed. Perhaps this suit explains it.

I was at a very crowded Trader Joe's with a very tiny parking lot, and noticed someone was hovering to take the spot I was about to abandon. When I went to hit "Close All", I got a message like "Screen not responding, hold both scroll buttons to reset". So I did, and it seemed like it was taking...

The transformer seems like a pretty critical component:rolleyes:. We're going to go to Morgantown for Thanksgiving. I'm hoping the supercharger will be operational by then. Using the level 2 charger in the Farmer's market is just too stressful. If it's operational, we should be able to get there...

There seems to be a human being at the receiving end of [email protected]

An update from my son-in-law, who lives in Morgantown. He spoke to a couple contractors who were there. They were "sworn to silence" about the schedule. He guessed the six white posts in the background correspond to six supercharger stations, which would agree with the schematic that @jbumps...

@jbumps: If there will be a supercharger in Morgantown (which is not huge), what would be the point of a destination charger at the Farmer's Market? It would have been very welcome before the announcement of the supercharger, but I cannot imagine why I would charge at a destination charger when...

The Morgantown Parking Authority, PARKING INFO - Morgantown Parking Authority (304) 284-7435, has been delightfully accommodating when we have visited our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson in Morgantown. There's a single (level 2?) charger in the Farmer's Market, which is nominally permit...

Thanks, @gabeincal. I've gotten wiser (there was lots of room) about what to bring on a trip (including the cable I thought of as a simple connector to my 240V wall plug). My most recent problem has been the lack of fast-ish chargers in Morgantown, WV. And supercharge.info makes it look like...

Thanks, @verygreen! I'd plunk down the bucks for a 240V kill a watt, if it existed. I only use 120V in desperate conditions, since 3mi/hour won't take me very far. I'm as ignorant about apps as I am about amps, but when I watch the app, it seems to be reacting quickly to changes in voltage. A...

On an only slightly related topic (I searched assorted forums/fora), it would seem that the iPhone Tesla app has everything it needs to record KwH when charging. I'm primarily interested in tracking charging from my 240V (I'm trainable :-) outlet that I use almost every day, but it would be fun...

My latest attempt at charging from a "ordinary" home outlet was much more successful, again, with thanks to this forum. But I'm puzzled by the voltages reported on the app. Neither 110 nor 120, but consistently closer to 110 than 120. I doubt that this requires a visit from an electrician. Is...

That makes sense, as I gain understanding. I haven't needed the cable/UMV to use the superchargers, or to use chargers (level 2?) at places I have found with PlugShare. If I had taken my UMV on a recent trip to Morgantown, WV, it would have done me no good, because I hadn't realized that there...

As a former sys-admin, I always asked my users to RTFM (read the fine manual). Of course, they never did. I read the manual while I waited (many months) for delivery. But those pages (which may have changed with every over-the-net update) didn't stick in my mind. I really don't think of the UMC...

Tesla appears to be no less confused than I (a low bar). They also refer to 110V. As you suggest, it doesn't matter. Nobo

You understood the question, I failed to recognize where there were "interface options". And, no, @TexasEV , I don't know if I have a "UMC". Does that have something to do with the Marine Corps? :) At delivery, nobody showed me all the ways to use the charger. Perhaps they rashly assumed I had...

The 110V connector that came with my Model X doesn't connect to anything else that came with the MX. Do I need to purchase another cable or adapter to be able to charge from a 110 outlet?

The 110v connector that came with my Model X doesn't seem to connect to anything else that I can plug into the MX. Do I need to purchase another cable or adapter?

Please check out alternatives for wipers on Model X for what should be an obvious place to not place the Pass. Don't block the visor! Think twice before believing anything I say.

Do not, as I did, put an E-ZPass immediately to the right of the rear view mirror. It will block the magnetic connection for the visor. DUH! I should set up a forum for my stupid moves, but there might not be enough space on the space the club owns.

Spot on, 3s. I took this photo to document why plate-mounted EZ-Pass tags are best avoided, but when I saw the request to post pictures of windshield problems, I thought the photo could do double-duty. Looking out the window today, the obscured area in the photo isn't important for safe driving...

I posted this in a different thread, Model X EZ pass mounting but I just noticed something that annoyed me on a recent trip through heavy snowfall. Look at the driver's-side window at the right side of the picture. That area never cleared when I pumped washer fluid onto the wipers. In defiance...

Attached is another reason to prefer an interior tag to a plate-mounted tag. By the way, the ice and snow covering the plate also covered a couple sensors, rendering any form of cruise control unusable. It might be nice to have small heaters around the sensors, although this may not have...

I probably read too many trashy detective novels :). A standard plot device is for nasty people whose car and license have been seen leaving the scene of a crime to drive to an airport and swap license plates with a car in long-term parking. If you're going to take the plates, why not take the...

Thanks, @DonD! When I ordered my Model X EZPass for the NY/NJ area, they sent me a license plate tag. It stopped working, possibly from having been plunged into snow banks. When I ordered a replacement, I specified the interior tag, even though there is a lot of conflicting information on the...

jeffro01: After my initial failure, I adhere rigorously to suggestion 1. I watch the dashboard, trusting it more than the app and flashing lights. I'm pretty sure alerts were enabled (they are now), and that I received no alerts (but the "silence" button on my iPhone gets switched on...

I (and others, in separate forums) have seen something similar. Sometimes the lights are on when you enter the garage (without key), sometimes not. A couple days ago (long after the putative over-the-air update), my wife plugged in her Leaf, and my Model X's lights came on. Hasn't happened in...

I stopped at the Hamilton Township New Jersey Supercharger station on my way back from Pennsylvania, plugged in my Model X, and went into Barnes and Noble to kill some time. After perhaps 15 minutes, I checked the Tesla app on my mobile phone, and saw that it said "charging stopped". I went back...
