My 2015 MS has 81k on it. It used to be much faster when supercharhing but in the last year the rate is much slower. I will take a couple of hours to fill up at a supercharger while my friends new MY takes about 30 minutes. Are they throttling the supercharging for Cara with unlimited...

Yesterday my streaming music had a loading error. Everything else on the monitor worked (mapping, camera, phone). I noticed I couldn’t get the FM radio to work either so, per Tesla’s recommendation, I held down both scroll wheels for 30 seconds. The MCU rebooted but the screen never came back...

I have a quote from Tesla and am seriously considering adding two Powerwalls 2.0 to go with my existing Solar and Model S. I have read a lot of positive things online and on the site but really would be interested in hearing if anyone regrets having a Powerwall installed and why. Thanks for your...

Has anyone has a Gateway 2 installed or spec’d out? I am considering buying two Powerwalls but would rather have the Gateway 2 for looks and the increased capability I read it has. Thoughts? GG

I am trying to understand the current incentives that I can count on if I bite the bullet and buy the quoted Tesla PowerWall (2 walls). 1. What exactly should I count on receiving as incentive when I purchase. What Federal, State (California) and Utility (PG&E) incentive are available (and...

Here is my quote Sent by Tesla for my Wall and install. I already have an existing solar install. I am a bit surprised at the cost. I was told they are only doing two powerwall unit installs at this time. I understand that I will get a 30% tax credit to apply for the 2019 tax return. I really...

A couple of nights ago I heard a loud pop inside our house complete with lights flickering. I went downstairs to the garage and found the garage with smoke and stinking of electrical smell. I noticed the Tesla was not longer charging and the breaker was tripped. Upon further inspection I...

I own a Model S that I purchased in December 2015 and just purchased a 2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad. I am surprised about how much better certain parts of the entertainment system in the Tacoma than my beloved Model S. My model S was about 105k and the Tacoma about 40k. Here are some of the items...

When putting the wipers on today I almost hit the Parking Brake at 50 mph. My other car has the wipers on the Tesla's parking brake side so this won't be the last time I'll get mixed up. Will it screech to a halt? Do I have to hold the button down to have the car stop? I bet the cars behind...

looking to add a center console, preferably in Matte Obeche. Anyone got one they are willing to sell? Cheers, GG

Car is 4 months old, 5000 miles. I was driving home Tuesday evening just cruising about 30 mphs when suddenly I got a message that the emergency brakes were disabled. Within 10 seconds a barrage of warnings came on. I noticed my power steering went out but the air condition was still good. I...

I bought some Cruiser Accessories 81200 and the screws are apparently far too big to go in the Tesla. Which 'system' work with Model S? Which one have users purchased that work to lock down your plate (rear)? Here is what I bought that doesn't seem to work: Amazon.com: Cruiser Accessories...

The family is taking a spring break Tesla road trip down to San Diego and plan on charging up near Qualcomm but that probably won't last us our 5 days in SD. We are staying near Balboa park and wanted to know where you fine people of TMC would recommend to charge while down in SD? I am not...

I took delivery December 4th and here we are 9 weeks later and still no plates. Is this common? To get my carpool stickers do I have to wait until I get my plates and then apply for it? I would really like to drive in those carpool lanes! The upside to not having plates is free toll roads in...

Just got my letter today that my beloved E7 rate plan is going away. :mad: I am told that in March I will be changed over to a "new, simpler time-of-use rate plan, ETOU-A." Now, when ever I hear the announcement for a "new, simpler" it never is a good sign. It should read, "more confusing and...

OK, to be fair, it is the only $25 accessory Tesla offers but I find this wall connector cable organizer very handy and quite a bargain. Sure helps out with the cable clutter. Tesla Replacement Wall Connector Cable Organizer sold out. Price increase must be pending :cool:

Fairly simple and sort of what I am looking for. I can't tell if it fits snug or not from these photos. Anyone purchase one of these and have some feedback? Upgraded Customized Tesla Model s Center Console Storage Bin for Tesla Motor | eBay

Sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find a thread. Is there a place where I can view how much of my charging has been done on a supercharger vs at home (verified by GPS) vs different stations? It would be handy to figure our expenses and utilizations. Cheers GG

I am a new Tesla owner and am now just getting a wee shock of the cost of charging my car. It seems as though the cost I thought I was going to pay for electricity is quite a bit more than what I thought it was going to be. I am on E-7 which is supposed to be one of the best schedules available...

I was at the factory yesterday and on my way out (from a public street). I watched a Model X with a rather large U-Haul (probably a 6x12 U-Haul: 6x12 Cargo Trailer Rental ) ripping around the test track. It wasn't slowing at around those banked turns. Pretty cool. GG

Has anyone received a discount for buying accessories like mats and adapters when they ordered or picked up their car? I noticed when checking out there was a section for Discount Codes so that had me think they may offering something. Every car I have purchased in the last 10 years gave some...

In general it takes the "big" manufactures about 30 labor hours to produce a car (per the Intraweb research). I noticed that the average time Tesla takes to produce a car is closer to 7 days. So, why does it take longer to produce a Tesla? Is it quality? Inefficiency of Tesla? Is a Model S...

I find the Tesla Order Tracking Spreadsheet pretty cool. Stat nerds like myself can take a look at the orders around mine and get an idea of how long mine will take. There is a lot of info in those sheets but mining the data is not really easy to do. For those interested I added a Summary...

Has anyone mounted their garage outlet on the ceiling? By putting it between the two cars in the garage I could charge either cars or park the tesla in either space. I would think there would be some sort of retractable crod to do this. Anyone seen this? Cheers GG

I was just about to order my first 85D when I thought it would be best to check with the Tesla recommended electrician about adding a 14-50 receptacle in our garage under our house. We were told that we needed to update our panel to a 200amp meter main and then run the conduit under the house...
