    Can the BMS_w176 (replace fuse) lead to BMS_w035 (vehicle may not restart) and "voltage supply too low" error?

    I'm not a huge believer in coincidences... but I guess anything is possible. Just want to see if anyone else has this experience? 2015 70D About a week ago I get the fuse-replacement warning message, came to the service center, $300 and 1.5 hours later, got my fuse replaced. All good...

    Does Tesla perform courtesy inspection?

    Weird question, I know... but it hasn't been sitting right with me since I left the service center. Dropped off the car to the emmc replaced due to the recall. Got the car back, it shows: It seemed... very uniform and wrong to me. I know my tires are fairly worn out. Door to the service...

    Dead battery heater

    So for anyone wondering what the symptoms are: First I noticed an increase in wh/mi usage when it got cold, but no warnings on the car. I didn't pay too much attention to it. Within a day, I got this message And my power was reduced to 100kw, and my regen was reduced to 0 (i.e. no regen at...

    NOVA PDR Recommendations

    Anyone have a Paintless Dent Removing company they recommend? I reached out to a few, they all say they don't work on Tesla's. I could file an insurance claim and go with a real repair, but I was looking for a quick fix. My wife hit a parking car, I got most of the paint transfer off, the rest...

    Tesla Charger 1014963-00-K (broken)

    For sale is a sealed (but broken) Tesla charger taken out of a 4 year old 70D with 77k miles. Part number 1014963-00-K. The charger works utilizing a regular L1/L2 station (AC), but it will NOT supercharge (DC). You can open it and fix it. Or try to use it as a slave. Or...? $500 local pickup...

    [Resolved]Tesla won't let me keep charger, claiming restricted

    So... My car wouldn't supercharge. I was stranded on a road trip. I spend over an hour on hold with Tesla (which is a problem of its own). They told me my charger for the supercharger is broken. I can still "slow" charge if I find an outlet. I plugged in, got a rental car, and continued my...

    Water inside headlight (not the usual fogging)

    So my headlight has had water inside of it for 3 days now. How do I get it out? I'm out of warranty, so don't really want to pay Tesla to deal with this. My headlights were fogging from the begining, I complained to Tesla, they told me it's normal, now that I'm out of warranty -- I suspect the...

    U-Joint Problems

    As I was pulling out of my driveway, I experienced a similar problem as someone in this thread. The steering feels "loose" then "tight" depending on the angle of how I'm turning the steering wheel. It's almost as if the steering is sticking in certain places. I thought maybe I'm imagining it...

    HV Battery/Loaner pack

    So my car threw a bunch of messages, after calling roadside they said if the car is driveable I can carefully drive it to the service center (which I did). Seems there's something wrong with the HV pack and they need to ship the battery to CA and install a loaner pack in my car (I have a loaner...

    EZpass

    I read on the other forum that the Model 3 likely has a coated windshield, and the manual says to place the EZpass transponder to the right of the mirror. How well does it work? We have FLEX (can change from HOV to nonHOV with a switch), so I need the transponder to register pretty much every time.

    Holding reservation and then changing mind?

    I got my email to reserve the Model 3 with the LR battery. My wife wants to wait for the standard battery in "Early 2018". If I hit the "Hold My Place" button, can we change our mind let's say a month from now, can I place my order then? Who can I call and ask to get a definitive answer? Seems...

    GPS acting up

    I'm not sure if this is firmware related and I should wait it out, or if there's something wrong with my car? Anyone else having GPS issues in the past few weeks? Started happening a few weeks ago, a reboot fixes it. But below are some examples of the Tesla GPS vs. where my car actually is...

    Did Tesla stop automatically installing latest software at service center visits?

    Title says it all. I've had 4 visits in the past few months, and on the last 2 (maybe all 3), I got notifications on my phone that a software update was available. I just assumed the tech's would install it like usual, but when I got back to the car, the notification was still pending. I had to...

    12V battery, 3 months only?

    Feb 10th - had my car in for service to replace the 12V battery, as I got the message that it needs replacing. This is what Tesla did: Had the car in for service today for a fan bearing malfunction (was making a high frequency noise when the AC was on). On my invoice, they told me that the...

    Tesla Loaner program change?

    So I have yet another problem with my car, emailed them asking for a service appointment. Was pleasantly surprised that they have something next week. FYI: I also got this: Seems they no longer let you reserve a loaner, and they changed from Enterprise to Hertz.

    Smartwatch Support?

    Emergency Braking in Progress

    So AEB saved my ass today. I am 100% certain it activated today (I thought I had it activate once a long time ago, but now I'm not so sure). This isn't a thread to bash me for what I did, moreso to explain how it activated and what was seen for those interested. I was driving along in traffic...

    Door ding

    So... I was parked dropping my kids off to school, and someone backed out of his driveway into my car. He stayed, thankfully. I'm about to file a claim through his insurance company Question: can I file a diminished value claim? I heard it's only for serious damage (I think this will just be...

    Survey: How and why the nag (AP V7.1) happens

    Lots of people saying there is a timed nag, lots of people saying they don't have a timed nag. I want to see if we can figure out exactly how/why/where the nag works. My idea here, but decided it needs it's own thread: Firmware 7.1 - Page 77 Please answer the following questions 1. Car model...

    Side Collision Avoidance - disappointing?

    Today was the first time the side collision avoidance (not warning) activated. I was driving behind a bus in the right lane, decided to change lanes to pass him in the middle lane. As I'm about half way through passing him, he starts drifting into my lane, and then abruptly back into his...

    How well does AP work for you?

    I've seen a few people complain that AP doesn't work well for them and they're abstaining from being a beta tester for Tesla. Then there's the "AP tried to kill me" video, etc. I think AP does an amazing job, when used close to the conditions it's advertised for. So for you, how well does AP...

    Two odd issues, anyone else?

    My car is in for service for a few things (leaky sunroof, fogged headlights which are apparently normal, etc.) and I asked them to check these two intermittent issues I've been having, and they said they have not heard of them before, so I want to know if it's just me or someone else here has...

    Fogged Fog Lights?

    I know, it's ironic. So I've heard of the rear tail lights getting fogged and Tesla has some fix for it. Before I add this to the list of things I need fixed, is this normal? Is there a fix for it? (sorry the photo turned out like crap)

    My Tesla Story

    Automatic Emergy Braking Disabled

    Can I reset it on my own? Or is this another service issue? (Yes I restarted the car, twice. No, I didn't click on it to be disabled through the setting screen. It happened right after I had an early collision warning and slammed on the breaks to stop)

    70D first roadtrip

    I was a little concerned taking Blue on her first trip with all the talk about city mpge vs. highway mgpe and charging times and etc. Drove from VA to NYC, about 250 miles. SUCCESS! Drove out with 96% charge, got to the Delaware supercharger with 40+%. Had TACC set to 80mph, though due to...

    AC Vibration Footwell?

    Sorry if this has been asked. My AC seems to vibrate the passenger footwell, as well as the driver footwell and steering wheel (less so). The AC was set to "fresh air" (for kids, 3rd row seats), and when the fan goes to 10/11 (either manual or auto), there's a VERY noticeable vibration by the...

    Anyone regret getting the rear facing seats?

    Anyones kids NOT like the rear facing seats? I test drove an 85D a few weeks ago, going back this weekend to check out the 70D in comparison. They don't have the rear facing seats at the dealership for any of their cars or the local showroom, so if I do decide to order them I'm going in blind on...
