    Model S 75 Phone as a key

    I used to have a 2017 S75 (no phone key) and I've now have a late 2023 S (phone key). One thing I've accidentally done ONCE is leave my phone in the new car. Since it's a phone key, the car doesn't even lock!

    What happens if the GPS fails? Here's what I've experienced.

    I picked up a new 2023 Model S in January of this year. (to replace my 2017 S; we've since then also gotten a 2024 X to replace our 2018 X). Within a week of ownership the new S starting having GPS issues. At that time, I had an EZ-PASS transciever mounted on the windshield and a USB C wire...

    upcoming Massachusetts off-peak electric rates for EV charging??

    upcoming Massachusetts off-peak electric rates for EV charging??

    Trivial to change. Just sign up with a new supplier. Trivial to terminate the old plan (making sure you understand if there was a terminate fee - it will tell you when you sign up). You can see in my notes the one supplier that had a termination fee. And you get just the single bill from...

    upcoming Massachusetts off-peak electric rates for EV charging??

    I've been using 3rd party suppliers for over 10 years. Our supplier has varied almost every year. I start researching for new suppliers in the early fall, to lock in a rate before the December NGrid price increase. I use the MA government website Energy Switch Massachusetts | The Massachusetts...

    upcoming Massachusetts off-peak electric rates for EV charging??

    I have National Grid and am in Charge Smart and I have a third party supplier. The rebate applies just fine, since it is based upon kWh used while charging and has nothing to do with supply or distribution. ... and that's a very weird thing. When Charge Smart first came out a few years ago, the...

    Giving away wiper blades for pre-refresh (2015-2020) Model X

    Wipers are taken. But I realized I have an unopened package of Tesla 2018 Red touch-up paint. If anyone wants it, PM me.

    Giving away wiper blades for pre-refresh (2015-2020) Model X

    We just replaced our 2018 Model X with a 2024. I have a spare set of wiper blades I never used, and they don't fit the new car. I'm happy to give them to another owner. I can meet at the any of the Framingham SuperChargers. The wipers are these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BPMHM6VJ/

    Supercharger - Hudson, MA

    supercharge.info incorrectly lists this as 120kW. It's a 150kW V2 (even Tesla says so: https://www.tesla.com/findus/location/supercharger/hudsonmasupercharger)

    Which supercharger location should I use in Albany?

    I stand corrected. Up until now I didn't have a car that did better than v2 speeds, so I glossed over that.

    Which supercharger location should I use in Albany?

    If you need to stop near Albany, you'd be better off at Guiderland, which are 20 v3 stalls. The 6 stalls at Colonie are older v2 120kW (not 150kW) units. And they are oddly layed out (1a,2a,3a,1b,2b,3b), so often times people who don't pay attention end up sharing accidentally.

    Intermittent wipers stopped working on 2018 Model S with stalks

    They seem to be fixed as of 2023.44.30.1 (on my 2017 S and 2018 X, w/ FSD).

    change order of cars in app

    I just realized what caused the switch... and I checked the values in TeslaFi to be sure. The cars switched order in the app just as the Model X (Red RoX) reached more mileage than the Model S. E.g., the car with the higher mileage shows up first. Obviously, to restore the order I need to drive...

    I had an odd problem just happen: my two cars just switched order in the app (Android). The older car was first, and now it's second. I don't know what caused this, or how to reverse it.

    Intermittent Wiper Failure

    We were away over the weekend and noticed this problem on our X. Got back to today and it's also a problem on my S. Both recently upgraded to 2023.7.30. Before I noticed the issue on the S I opened a service request and this morning got a quote for $850 or so. I'm guessing that won't be needed.

    Anyone have National Grid R-4 Off Peak Charging with Teslas?

    Turn on rear fog lights only?

    Different vehicles with different hardware in different countries will show different options in the vehicle menu. My Model S doesn't even have fog lights (when I bought it they were an option I didn't get) and hence no option to turn them on.

    Repair Shop Recommendation in Central MA

    I used Hollis Auto Body in Ashland, MA. For my car, they did a great job on making it look and drive like new (and I had a lot of damage). Every time I was there I saw at least 10 Tesla cars in the lot. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2021-collision-repair-in-ma.248431/

    Supercharger - Framingham, MA - Worcester Road

    That is so weird, again given how congested all that area is. It would be so much better for traveling if they put one of these an exit west on the Pike, perhaps near the Framingham Sheraton.

    Slacker radio not working

    Hint: Tesla has no dealerships. It's a Tesla store and service center, not a dealership. It's bad enough that some web "journalist" doesn't understand the enormous difference, but they are underpaid and maybe I can sort of understand. I don't get how an owner of the car doesn't understand the...

    Lucid Air Grand Touring vs Tesla Model S Plaid.

    I've seen a few out in the wild and finally got to inspect one up close at the Lucid store in South Boston. Overall, a nice car. I'd love to test drive it to see what it feels like. But the thing is huge. Back in 2014 when I first sat in a Model S I thought it was huge -- and the Air is much...

    Confused about charging in off-peak hours

    I just installed ev.energy and set it up, but it doesn't let set up the TOU times. It only wants to know my utility and rate plan, and uses that. But my utility's rate plan doesn't have TOU; instead, I get a $0.05/kWh rebate for when I charge outside of 1PM and 9PM. I want to set my own times...

    Supercharger - Framingham, MA - Concord Street

    Gianni's is our #1 pizza place. But it's also over 3 miles from this proposed SuC location. A far better 2nd Framingham SuC location would be in the parking lot of the Sheraton on Rte. 9 at exit 111 of Rte. 90. Easy on/off the Pike, far less congestion, lots of space in the parking lot.
