    Is there a way to login on the Tesla TuneIn radio app to your account so I can listen to my channels that are saved in my account? Or am I limited to the default channels that Tesla has provided?

    Water found in passenger front footwell on 2021 Model Y

    I just got my Model Y a few months ago. We haven't had any hard rain until recently, and today when driving home after my Y was parked all day in the rain at work, I noticed that my front passenger foot well was covered with water, like someone had sat there (no one did). Is this a known...

    Opinions on this paint defect

    Picked up my new red MYLR yesterday. Just noticed this paint defect now which is posted in photo. Located on drivers side. You can feel it, which feels like a slightly raised piece of sand. Otherwise the vehicle appears flawless. I can live with it but can it be fixed easily?

    I’m going to schedule a service visit but wanted to ask here if anyone else has had this issue: Over the past 2 months, my wife’s Model X has been randomly rebooting during driving and both screens black out and reboot after about a minute. Car drives ok but the turn signal does not work. This...

    Anyone fix a rock chip on windshield?

    Came back from a short trip and during the ride on the highway a small rock hit our windshield on our Model X, causing a small oval chip a little less than a centimeter. Pic attached. Who have people used to fix this, or is this something people have done fixed themselves?

    Our license plates came. Did you install yourself or Tesla? If by self- what screws?

    Do people call Tesla service to come install the license plate frames on the vehicle, or can you do do this by yourself? I don't mind doing it myself, but cannot find the screws needed for the plate bracket that came with the vehicle. (no I don't mind drilling holes). thx

    Auto Lane Change on Model X

    I've been through several Teslas, but was surprised that our latest 2020 Model X did not include the Auto Lane Change feature in the standard package (whereas all our prior Teslas came standard including our Model S and 3). I didn't think that the lane change feature would be considered as...

    Seat Adjustment doesn't follow my profile sometimes

    For some reason, I have been noticing that my seat adjustment doesn't completely move to my default driver profile (from Easy Entry) when I enter the vehicle (sometimes only partially moves). I wonder if it is due to cold weather, but not really sure if it is due to this. What happens is that...

    Sales Tax question

    I live in an area where there are a few different Tesla showroom locations that I can choose for delivery. If I purchase, do I pay sales tax for the location of vehicle delivery, or is it based on where the vehicle is titled and registered? I believe it is the latter, but just wanted to double...

    Recent mobile key range poor when walking up to my car

    I’m not sure why, but recently (last month or so), my Model 3 stays in sentry mode when I walk up to it. My iPhone mobile is in my front pocket and have never had any issues before unlocking the car. Now I have to take out my phone from the pocket and hold it or sometimes wait for 10-15 seconds...

    Sentry mode and Dashcam 1kb files in Model S

    On my 128gb USB drive, I am getting only 1kb files (non-playable of course) in the TeslaCam/RecentClips and SavedClips folders. The Timestamp filenames are correct, but all of the files are 1kb in size, and have no video footage on my Model S. This USB drive was tested on my Model 3, and the...

    Vomit smell when starting air conditioning

    Sentry Mode questions

    I would like to use Sentry Mode on my Model 3, but do not need the dashcam driving footage (I use a BlackVue instead). Does Sentry Mode work standalone, without the need to activate the driving dashcam? For some reason, I don't seem to get any recorded Sentry Mode footage (even though my car...

    Does Sentry mode now allow BlackVue to be on all the time?

    I just got the Sentry mode update and enabled it. I noticed when returning to my parked car that my BlackVue (connected to front cig outlet) was still on and recording. Is this now getting power 24/7? I was actually thinking about hardwiring the BlackVue but if this is always on now, maybe...

I reset both screens and tried to even only use my app to activate the car but cannot get the nag screen to go away. Is the only way still to get rid of this screen is to go to the...

    Silver Plasti Dipped Aeros project on Silver Model 3

    Has anyone tried to Plasti dip their wooden trim?

    Opening the trunk in the rain

    Compared to my Model X, I am not impressed with how water splashes into the trunk when it is opened during a rainstorm. The rain tends to easily splash right rough the gutter rims of the trunk... on the other hand Model X does a great job in handling this.

    Has anyone scratched their front bumper on a parking lot curb or parking block?

    This is my Silver AWD Model 3 front bumper in the parking lot at my work. As you can see there is very little clearance and if I moved in just a little further the front bumper would have been scraped by the curb. The height seems to be higher in my Model S, as I never have issues with...
