Maybe the 30A is for a dryer outlet hiding somewhere in the garage?

Tesla's have a metal oxide windshield and prevents the transponder from being picked up. See the specific note and vehicle list from the FastTrak site here for more details: https://www.bayareafastrak.org/en/support/fastrak-basics-faq2.shtml...

My local Tesla Service center replaced mine for free. Might want to give that a try with your local SC.

Arrived much faster than their delivery estimate. Placed my order 3 days ago. Now just need to find someone to install them. Any recommendations in NorCal SF/SJ?

My 2013 P85 received the 2019.24.1.5 update on 12/Jul. I received the 2019.28.2.5 update yesterday and just installed it now. I don’t monitor my 100% range very closely since my daily round-trip commute is ~50 miles and I only charge to 70%. I also rarely supercharge but the last time I did...

I cringe every time i see an EV with _all_ the stickers applied. It reminds me of that skittlespox kid. Skittles on Twitter

In other news, a handful of Model 3's and a Model X suddenly appear under CPO. "Low miles & minor imperfections"

I had to look up the email thread when I went through the process, but i received immediate and timely response. apparently there is a separate 'ownership transfer' team that has to process the transfer, but overall it took less than 2 weeks to transfer the ownership. The only delay on my end...

If your panel can support it, why not install both? Best of both worlds and also futureproof for the next EV.

Also need to consider how much your time is worth because you now have to allocate time out of your day to charge. As others have said, at least consider plugging into 120v at home so you can charge.

I stumbled across this SC location today. All empty stalls except one which was ICE'd :(

Have you tried from inside the the frunk and behind the front bumber?

Tesla Recycling machine catches fire :rolleyes: Up next: "Matchstick at Tesla plant goes up in flames!"

AFAIK changing the tires shouldn't require replacing the TPMS sensors. Did they say why they changed them? Ask them to put the original sensors back.

It's been mentioned previously, but the double HOV lanes start in Palo Alto 6.5 miles north of the 85 HOV split and it's not unusual for non HOV traffic speed to be at a slow crawl or complete stop, especially around that 85 HOV split. So HOV drivers tend to stay in the #1 lane as long as...

Sorry. I think i fixed it. try again now?

20180323_080953_NF on Flickr Video from my BlackVue yesterday at 8AM. The barrier appears at the 30 second mark. Does not look like it was reset.

“Good luck with sale”

FWIW, my wife’s GL350 does this too. I think it’s a feature of most vehicles with air/self-leveling suspension. And yes, I’ve noticed it happen on my S as well after coming to a stop. Even noticed it (heard the usual brief air pumping) after going slowly over some speed bumps in a parking lot

From the Waze support forum: "The feature is not completely rolled out yet, it should all be sorted out soon." Grrr!

Waze gains support for HOV lanes, motorcycles and voice activation Personally I find this new feature especially useful when I visit SoCal because I am not familiar with the HOV lanes there. Sometimes I prematurely exit the HOV lane thinking I'll miss my exit only to find out later that there...

Anyone know how bad this location was ICE’d today with the Black Friday shopping?

yes for both. that's how i do it. if you have smart suspension, remember to enable 'jack mode' via the touch screen too.

Interesting. I've noticed this vibration as well on my 2013 P85. Haven't taken mine in for service yet, but plan to mention the vibration at next scheduled service. /following

Just installed v8.1 2017.42 a88c8d5 over WiFi. Release notes: "Minor fixes and improvements"

Just adding a different datapoint, Homelink on my 2013 has been rock-solid. Have never had an issue with Homelink kicking in when approaching my driveway from the street, guessing at least a good 75ft away. I have a Liftmaster garage opener FWIW.

If you're trying to log in with your Tesla provided Slacker account on the center display, you can't because it's the default account associated with your car (eg, it's always logged in). The Slacker login screen is for personal/non-Tesla Slacker accounts.

Short answer, yes. It's more than just replacing the individual sensors. There is a corresponding receiver that also needs to be replaced in addition to the 4 TPMS sensors. And a possibly a vehicle firmware update. See this thread: TPMS question

Yes. It is possible. Just ask. While I was waiting for service at the Burlingame Service Center, I saw another Model S owner walk in, asked someone at the desk if he could use one of the HPWC in front of the store. "Sure, No problem. "

Updated to 17.24.28 on 6/23 via wifi at home. Only noticeable difference is that I am seeing is "Systems are powering up, press brake when this message clears" more frequently than before the upgrade and that it's taking longer for the message to clear even after pressing the brake.

There is a fitness gym right next door to that SC location. And too often I've seen people park their Teslas at the SC then walk straight to their morning workout. Always wondered if they moved their cars after it finished charging or only moved after they finished working out at the gym.

Just spent 30 minutes going through their Instagram page. Looks like they do some amazing work, especially on Teslas. I might be going down for a visit soon.

Yeah, that part number is the older Baolong sensor. All of mine were replaced with the newer Continental sensors. Guess I got a lucky break from my SC.

Also looking for a recommendation in the SF area, preferably along the Peninsula.

Interesting. When I had 2 failed sensors replaced, they had to replace all 4 sensors + receiver to the newer TPMS system. See Firmware 8.0 - For Classic Model S

It's a feature not available on every Model S. My 'classic' non-AP Model S P85 for example doesn't have it. I don't know when permanent hill-hold became standard.

It doesn't work because the Tesla account is already logged in by default. The 'sign-in' option is for personal/non-Tesla accounts only.

Multiple trips to the SC and no one has ever touched my cameras. The techs simply place blue tape on the front & rear windows to obscure the camera view.

....For the better I imagine. But a happy Tesla is still a connected Tesla.

FAQ is your friend Can the recordings be automatically uploaded on BlackVue Cloud? Even if you use the feature, you are limited to the amount of recording time you can upload unless you purchase more time 'slots'. Even the Live View feautre is limited unless you purchase more viewing time...

And not to nit pick (ok, i am), but HPWC != charger. It's a connector. The charger is onboard and inside the car.

Just enabled the Alexa app. works great! thanks!

Firmware + TPMS sensors + TPMS ECU receiver (and programming to 'learn' the new sensors). That's pretty much it in the service invoice. "Corrections: Retrofit Continental TPMS module and harness." I only took my car in because I was getting TPMS sensor failures almost daily. I thought they...

Same here. Except when I did have charging problems, it was user error and I didn't insert the plug all the way or not enough force.

Exact same situation for me. Was pleasantly surprised when I got the call from my SC tech advisor that they were upgrading me to the new style sensors. But now i'm worried that my summer wheels with the old style TPMS sensors aren't going to work when I put those wheels back on. Guess I'll find...

'Free' + $200 extended warranty deductible to replace the failing TPMS sensors + upgrade ECU. Also received brand new lug nuts, but no idea why.
