    Charge USA model 3 at European supercharger?

    Forgive the noob question, I did try to search for an answer to this. I bought my model 3 in the USA, if it was shipped to europe, what options do I have for supercharging?

    Advice Needed: To sell or not? Leaving country for 14 months

    Hello all, I would greatly appreciate your feedback and opinions. I have a 2015 85D with 20K miles. I am leaving the country for 15 months soon. The car will be garage kept and no one will drive it during this time. Would it make more sense financially to just sell the car and rebuy when I...

    Would a D Model S make it up this hill?

    I've actually never driven in snow, not once. So if the situation ever arises I'd like to know my limits. Turn off the sound, it's on 2x speed and annoying.

    Where to splice in my Blackvue Dash Cam?

    Thank you! I'm going to test this weekend. All the setup articles I read were info overload. I knew there had to be a KISS approach. - - - Updated - - - What would you recommend besides some tightly strung electric tape?

    Where to splice in my Blackvue Dash Cam?

    I'm guessing that free black connector? Anyone know what the wires should be labeled? I was planning to cut open the lighter socket cord the Blackvue shipped with.

    I just got big-timed by a fellow Tesla. 85s can't hang with P85Ds apparently...

    Absolutely don't let this dampen your spirit. Some people buy the P85D solely for speed. They technically aren't energy "converts" and don't value any EV comradery whatsoever. I'm not making a character judgement, more power to them, just recognizing that the P version paints with a broad brush.

    Replay/back option still disabled on Slacker Premium

    For anyone who has upgraded to Slacker Premium, are you able to hit the back button to replay a song? I thought that was one of the main incentives toward upgrading, yet my back button is still disabled.

    Capturing a screenshot. Still a service only thing?

    So we can save screenshots, but can't access them. Anyone found a way to direct these onto usb storage? Or any recommendations to get clear shots of the console screen for publishing articles? The refresh rate is killing the quality of my pics, not to mention the curved distortion of a close up...

    Car & Driver hates Trip Planner

    As a new owner who just completed a 2500 mile road trip, I can say that I definitely don't have "range anxiety" but I do have "destination anxiety". Most of the time I arrived at the supercharger with precisely 2% - 3% battery, which was intentional. However if I wasn't paying close attention to...

    Does your AC blow cold or just cool?

    Switching to recirculate made a significant difference. Starting at LO I found myself clicking the temp up and up over the course of 20 mins until finally settling in at 74. As suggested, turning off auto fan speed helped expedite the process, yet it's rather uncomfortable to manually tweak the...

    What's the deal with all these hotel destination chargers showing on my nav?

    That's the connection I wasn't making. New terminology. For a new owner it's easy to think anything the car suggests is part of the Tesla network and without restrictions.

    What's the deal with all these hotel destination chargers showing on my nav?

    I'm trying to understand why, if I'm traveling and seeking a charge, would Tesla suggest a location that could have a huge stipulation such as - must book a room. ? ! And without an easy way to confirm this without calling each hotel.

    What's the deal with all these hotel destination chargers showing on my nav?

    Why does Tesla suggest all these hotel zoned chargers to me? They are obviously for guests of the hotel only, right? Who owns them, Tesla or the hotel??

    Does your AC blow cold or just cool?

    I'll play with that tomorrow, forgot to check it. - - - Updated - - - Great info there!

    Does your AC blow cold or just cool?

    I'm trying to decide if I should really go by the service center or if my expectations are just too high. My new 85D definitely does not blow COLD air like my BMW did, it's cool enough I guess but in 88+ degree weather it's having to run non-stop to keep the car at 72 degrees. Seems pretty...

    Firmware 6.2

    85D Obviously this is just a patch, apologies for the false positive excitement. My reputation in this forum continues to hover between the level of gnat and fruit fly.

    Firmware 6.2

    Hmm, I guess I can't check that while the car is installing?

    Firmware 6.2

    Software Update Today I thought I would see a lot of chatter on the forums about the software update notice I received today. Is everyone else seeing it? It said 1hr 40mins to install, I just started it now. This is my first software update since delivery.

    CHAdeMO Adapter Price and Necessity

    Is this adapter really $450? Maybe there's a 3rd party alternative? Tesla Accessories and Charging Adapters CHAdeMO Adapter Am I correct in thinking that CHAdeMO is the only way to utilize "level 3" public charging?

    Living off of public charging in Seattle

    Browsing PlugShare it appears that I should get a membership to either ChargePoint or Blink, or you can just use your credit card at the port?

    Living off of public charging in Seattle

    Thanks for the warm welcome! Renton area. I'm a brand new Tesla owner, so I'm trying to understand -- residential plug shares are basically friendly, generous people in the EV community wanting to contribute? Is there a standard tip per hour?

    Living off of public charging in Seattle

    I'll be between homes for 4 weeks and won't have a garage charger available during this time. When I google for public charging in Seattle there seems to be quite a bit of outdated info and conflicting info about what charging stations are currently working and with what membership programs. I'm...

    Advice Needed: I have very inflexible delivery requirements

    Hello again, OP here. DS was assigned and said no problem on the delivery window. The car will be built on schedule as normal and they will just rotate it in the outgoing delivery queue to delay the pickup date.

    Advice Needed: I have very inflexible delivery requirements

    My 85D was confirmed today. My delivery estimate is set for late-May, however the only time I will be in town is from June 10 - June 20. I did not change the requested date from late May to June because I didn't want to delay production and assumed they could just hold the car for me. I tried...
