@GeekLad Will your app work on an iPhone so it can be used in a Model 3?

The Teslawaze website at Tesla Traffic Incidents and Information is announcing that due to increased Google Maps charges, they will no longer be able to continue running the website starting in June. I found it to be a very useful site to run in the built-in browser in my Model S or on my...

Sort of...

Benjamin, you were absolutely correct. I closed VT and in the last 24 hours my Model 3 only lost about 3 miles, which is comparable to what my P85D lost. Thank you for the great tip. I wonder what is different about the Model S that allowed VT to be polling continuously without losing much...

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering if leaving Visible Tesla up all the time was the culprit. After it charges tonight, I'll shut down VT and see if that is the reason. I had it on all the time with my P85D and only saw a loss of about 2-3 miles in 24 hours, so expected the Model 3 to behave...

Yes! It does work with the Model 3 but not all of the functions work. It doesn't pick up the configuration from the vehicle, but you can go into the Preference Overrides and select your color, wheels, roof and units. The car will show as an S 60 but at least the color, wheels and roof will be...

My P85D was named Sparky. His pal, a Chevy Spark EV, was named Sparky Jr. So, naturally, my Model 3 is named Sparky III.

@doubleohwhat Thanks again for the info and the link. It looks like that could be a way better and easier solution for me, as I'm primarily looking for backup capability. I'm already on full Net Metering and TOU with SCE so there's really not much more to gain there. The LG battery is...

@doubleohwhat I went with the SolarEdge SE7600 inverter that was specified by Tesla for the Powerwall 1 (which I tried in vein to obtain). Solar City told me that the Powerwall 2 could not be connected to that inverter and that I had to use the internal inverter built into the Powerwall 2...

Since I already had a 200A main panel, they said it needed an upgrade because the meter needs to be separate from the breaker part of the panel. Even though my meter appears to be in its own enclosure and the breakers are in a separate panel next to the meter panel, they said that wasn't good...

After requesting information on the Powerwall 1 and never hearing anything further, I ordered a Powerwall 2 as soon as it was possible and paid my deposit. After a very long wait, I was finally contacted by Solar City and arranged for a site survey. The guy who came out to do the survey knew...

Thanks to those who responded to my long saga with Solar City, but not being able to ask a question of someone who actually knows the answers and having to go through an intermediary who knows nothing that can have an answer for you within about six days is really unacceptable, so I've canceled...

Frustrated with Solar City When Powerwall 1 was first announced, I signed up to be on the waiting list and never heard another word. In the interim, I had a solar system installed by a local company and paid extra to get the SolarEdge 7600AUS that was specified as the only inverter that would...

They run it directly to the fuse box or the mic connector depending on the Tesla model. They do not use the 12 v dc jack.

We had ProDashCam install Blackvue cams in my Tesla and wife's new Volt and they did a beautiful job. They have installed them in many Teslas but had never done a Volt before, but that was not a problem at all. Give them a call and see if they've done installs in any AP2.0 Teslas yet...

Prodashcam (prodashcam.com) charges $169 or $199 for the install if you don't buy the cam from him (see the Installation section on his site for more details). The higher price is if you want the Power Controller or DC kit installed. He also charges a reasonable travel charge depending on how...

Once again, Massdrop is offering the Blackvue DR650S-2CH for the excellent price of $285 (regular $500). I bought two of them the last time they offered them and had Aaron at Prodashcam (in the Los Angeles area) install one in my Model S and one in my wife's new Volt. He came out to our house...

We have made that trip quite a few times. Everyone's supercharging advice is excellent, although we have been lucky and have never had to wait for a supercharger. The most important advice I can offer is while driving on autopilot, whenever you pass a truck (and there are a LOT of trucks on...

Sam, I thought the watch app was updating better with your new updated app, but it turns out that's not the case. This morning the Miles Remaining display had not updated on the watch and when I tapped it and went to the control display I could not return to the Miles Remaining display. I...

Very nice update, Sam. So far it seems to work better with the watch, too. The only thing I've found to report so far is that on the phone app, when you move away from the second car status screen with the nifty vertical bars, and come back, the bars are no longer highlighted. The app needs to...

A very nice looking app. Good job! Thank you.

Tesla motors Forums are BACK! Finally.

Thanks again for the follow-up Duma. After much research, I finally found a clue from someone with the same problem but with a completely different program. It had to do with a proxy setting buried deep in Firefox's options. All I had to do was change it from "Auto-detect proxy settings for...

Thanks again, Duma. Yes, I am running it by clicking on the shortcut, which does run vtrunner.bat and should use the correct Java. That's why I've been stumped. I've also tried double clicking on VisibleTesla.jar but that does nothing. I've looked at the files that come with the distribution...

Thanks for the reply Duma. Both computers are running Windows 7 Home Premium. The VT version that works is 0.50.07. I had installed the same version on the computer where it didn't work, so found and installed version 0.50.08 and that still didn't work. I didn't realize you could select the...

Visible Tesla works fine on one of my computers, but will not run on a different one. When I try to run it on the other computer I get this error message: if I click on More Information, I get this: and here's the rest: Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening? Thanks.
