    Battery backup without solar?

    I'm trying to find a solution for emergency backup for my 3200 sq ft house. If it were just me in the house, I wouldn't bother. I've been through many power outages. However, I have two tenants in two other apartments, so I really want to have some kind of backup. There's a supercharger about a...

    No longer able to connect to wi-fi

    I've had my car since 2018 and the wifi has worked fine until now. It's currently on 2022.36.6, but for several weeks a software update has been available, but the app shows that I have to connect to Wi-fi to get it. I've tried everything I know of, and I just don't know why I can no longer get...

    Trunk won't open from screen?

    Since 2021.22.x, I've noticed that I cannot open my trunk from the screen. It opens just fine if I do it physically. Has anyone else noticed this? I have mobile service coming next week for a different issue, but I was just wondering if this is a widespread issue.

    J1772 Issue-not charging

    I've searched and not found this particular issue anywhere. I've recently had problems using my J1772 adapter. There are four free chargers in my parking garage. At first, everything charges normally, then after a few days, the charger light is red, for "error. Everything seems normal on my...

    replacement tires and tire aspect ratio question

    Sorry for yet another tire question, but I've research this to death and so much information is getting old. I've got a 2018 LR RWD with Michelin MXM4's that are in need of replacement at 31K miles. In my research, I've found that these tires, while still available, have been "replaced" with...

    Ask for extended expiration on referrals!

    Hey y'all! I hope everyone is staying healthy and at home if possible. I've got some referral miles that are going to expire in May. I haven't used them all and because I'm not driving much right now there is really no hope of using them. I think that Tesla should extend the expiration date...

    Problem with app re upgrades

    Recently there was talk about people mistakenly ordering the FSD upgrade on their phone apps and not getting a refund. When I first heard about it, I thought there was no way this could happen. When I looked at my app, I had to check the thing, and then hit the big PAY button. Then I updated the...

    Brake Hold question

    I've searched and cannot find an answer to this specific question. When Hold is engaged, will it stop the car from moving forward if hit from behind? In the old days of drivers' ed. classes, we were always taught to keep our foot on the brake pedal when stopped in traffic, just in case some...

    Side mirror fix or replace?

    I've searched the forums and couldn't find an answer, so I'll ask. l had a small run-in with a tree (no smart a** remarks please) that forced my driver's side mirror backwards as well as left my car with a few small scrapes on the door. I got a couple of outrageously high estimates from the...

    Possible cause of traction loss warnings

    I've seen a lot of you have problems with loss of traction control warnings, along with loss of EAP, loss of regen, and loss of emergency braking. I've had it happen to me several times myself, and it always goes away after parking the car and letting it sit awhile. I've determined WHEN it...

    Slacker plays Anderson Cooper 360 without request

    Does he get paid by Slacker or something? So often when I get in my car, no matter what I've been listening to previously, my radio has switched to "Anderson Cooper 360." Why is this happening? It's a minor, first-world problem at best, but it's annoying. At least it's not Fox news.

    360 dashcam?

    Please excuse the stupid question. With the supposed release of the 360 degree dashcam in a few weeks, (Tesla's 'Sentry Mode' with 360 degree dash cam is coming in 2 to 3 weeks, says Elon Musk), are all current Model 3's with EAP version 2.5? Or does this apply only to the FSD hardware?

    GM's vision of Autopilot from 1956

    I thought it might be time for a little break from all the serious discussion of all things Model 3-related, and I just saw this. It seems that GM really hasn't come all that far...

    Key card didn't work

    Well, this is a new twist to the phone/card/fob debate. Went out to my car this morning- just to get something so my phone wasn't necessary- and my key card refused to work. Nada, zip, zilch. Anyone else ever had this happen? I got my phone and I was able to get in, and later today the card...

    Any way to change the phone ringtone?

    Maybe the problem is that I don't get a lot of phone calls when I'm in the car, but when I do, it scares the hell out of me because the phone ringtone sounds like some sort of alarm. Of course, my phone is usually in my purse, so I don't hear the real ringtone. Anybody else bothered by this? Why...

    It's official!

    Had the tags already, and finally was able to transfer them to the proper car yesterday. The BATTERY MOBILE is official!

    Driver's side only unlock?

    I work at night and park in a large urban parking garage. For years, my cars have been set to driver's side only unlock, due to safety reasons. I currently use the phone as my key, because I like the new sound on lock feature. I believe I read that if I use the card, the driver's side only will...

    How to turn off audio/radio?

    I'm hoping someone can help me. I got my car yesterday and have been unable to find an answer to this. I don't always like to listen to radio or music when I drive. For the life of me, I have been unable to figure out how to turn the audio/radio off. The media system seems very unintuitive...

    Glass roof UV coating and liquid protectants?

    I'm not going to wrap my red 3, but I want to use one of the various wipe-on sealants to help protect the paint. I know the glass roof is supposed to have some sort of UV coating, so my question is if these wipe-on sealants are OK to use on the glass, or will they harm the factory UV coating?

    Tow hitch bike rack?

    Searched for this but couldn't find anything so I'll ask. Now that people are actually driving Model 3's in the real world, I need to hear from other bicycle enthusiasts about how they are transporting their bikes. For several reasons I do not want the rooftop mount which I can get from Tesla. I...

    Charging: Destination Charging vs. Supercharging speed

    I just got back from an 800 mile trip in my Volt, using mostly gas, and I've been trying to estimate where I will stop to charge on that same trip in a Model 3. I've been trying to find a simple answer to my question and I have yet to find it. In simple terms, as volts, amps, and watts do not...

    Volt now, M3 later, no garage! Help!

    So here's my situation, and I'm trying to figure out what to do. The lease is up on my current car, and I'm thinking of buying a Volt until my M3 comes. I currently don't have a garage, and the closest my car can get to an outlet is about 24 feet. Any outlet will be outside, under a bit of a...

    What about stockholder priority?

    Nothing has been said about whether or not stockholders would get any priority when ordering a Model 3. Does anybody know? It would certainly seem that we should get some sort of priority as well.
