    Powerwall Townhome Install

    I have a townhome in NoCal - while the main breaker is in the garage the utility meter is in a shared utility closet (with other units). I was told that it wouldn’t be possible to install a powerwall as a conduit would be needed between the utility meter and the main electric panel. Has anyone...

    $13k for EV Charger @ Condo - Should I do it?

    Placed a deposit for a new construction condo in the Bay that is still being constructed. Had the opportunity to select options/upgrades yesterday which were all unreasonable (i.e $8k for better carpet/$21k for back splash/etc...) I opted for all of the standard options given the insane pricing...

    Driver's Seat Squeaks

    I noticed that my driver's seat squeaks when I get in/out of the car, make turns, accelerate hard...anytime I move in general. Any easy fix? It seems to have just started....kind of annoying like an old wooden chair.

    Can someone recommend a good insurance company (with good rates) for the Model 3. I am currently with Unigard and was quoted $1,400 for 6 months of insurance. I am looking for something in the $800 range (my Acura TLX was $700 for 6 months). The TLX was $43k and the 3 is $49k. Not sure why my...

    Mirror Dimming Issue

    I noticed a dimming issue with my rear view mirror and side-mirrors. I see a blue-tint on my mirrors while I drive at night...making it really difficult to see anything while driving. If I shift to reverse...the tint goes away. I did have a dashcam install on Wednesday...is there a sensor...

    Strange Charging Behavior

    I noticed on the 3 that the car starts charging...shortly after charging is complete. This is what I think is happening, if I charge the car to 90% and in 30 minutes the battery drops to 89.98%. The car will start charging to 90%. I don't see this behavior with the S/X. I would assume this...

    No More Mouse Control...No!!!!!!!

    After the Santa Mode Update (2017.50.2)...I lost the ability to control the 17 inch display with a USB mouse. My rear seat passengers heavily relied on this...the USB mouse still works on the 3. Can anyone else confirm this?

    Warning for Dashcam Owners with Hotspots

    I recently got the Model 3 (replacing my Acura TLX). I use a hotspot for blackvue cloud and I found that the hotspot battery swelled up. Not sure how dangerous this is...but it certainly looks scary. The dashcam goes in boot loop without the battery...is there anyway to keep it powered...

    Break Into Tesla Model 3 Trunk in Under 15 Seconds

    As advance as the Model 3 is...it is fairly easy to break-into the trunk. Most modern cars only place the seat release in the trunk or have locking mechanisms. Since Tesla's don't have any glass-breakage sensors or motion alarms...we are going to see breakins like these happen. It is...

    Clicking & Clunking while Parked

    Picked up my 3 over the weekend...I noticed that the car intermittently emits a strange sound in this order "click" - "clunk" - "bang" while it is parked. Sounds like the clicking sound my X makes when I approach it with the fob (I think this means that the DC-to-DC converter is charging the...

    Revamp EAP + FSD Purchase Terms?

    Since all new Tesla's contain the hardware for self driving - why doesn't Tesla treat EAP/FSD as software? For instance, wouldn't it be much better if Tesla tied EAP/FSD with the owner instead of the car? What if I can go to MyTesla and purchase EAP/FSD and tie the license to my car, when I...

    Bad PR on the way???
