    Wet seatbelt? Anybody have this?

    Just got a new2me 2016 MX, and after the rains this week my wife got in and found her seatbelt was super wet. I had this with my 2000 Honda Insight and it lead to mold. Anyone seen this? I searched the innerwebs and only found people talking about the Honda issue.

    Unified AutoPilot activation method request

    My 2018 Tesla Model 3 was one of the first vehicles to activate AP and FSD by pulling down the gear shift stalk. Not hard to get used to as no previous car had Auto Pilot, but now I own an older Model X too and I keep finding myself doing the same maneuver in that car. Or in a panic disengaging...

    Electrify America gives up on uniform national pricing

    Just got an email saying: There have been a LOT of complaints about people leaving cars plugged in long after their session is over, this will be good for that issue. At 48¢/kWh for non-members they have also fallen behind Tesla Superchargers in some localities, so this variable pricing should...

    Missing items from CyberTruck reveal

    Someone mentioned in a post earlier today about the missing off-road lights across the top of the CyberTruck and it made me wonder how many things won't make it into the release vehicle, these were the one's I could think of from memory: Offroad pinacle lights Liftgate with embedded ramp...

    What camper will you tow with your CT

    I thought from the beginning that it would be nice to get a metal truck and compliment that with a metal trailer, out there in the sun with the paint never pealing, initially that made me think of the Airstreams, anything from a tiny Basecamp all the way up to the giant Classic 30 footer. There...

    Hands free working on FSD 2022.45.15

    I have not seen discussion about this but my 2018, version 3.0 FSD computer running the latest beta allowed me to drive from Supercharger to Supercharger yesterday evening without touching the controls. Perhaps people know more about this, but I was trying to see how long it would go without...

    Parking garage Supercharger vanishes from NAV

    I have noticed as I drive around Chicago trying the various superchargers that as I arrive at a parking structure that houses the Supercharger the icon on my NAV display for it will disappear, so I am unable to access the supercharger information such as directions, floor, & exit pin. Has...

    FSD V11 effect on Auto Pilot and EAP

    Anyone played with the new generation of FSD and check out if it impacts the usage of AutoPilot, the driving that your car does when you turn OFF the Beta software? I am curious if this new software will allow AP to go more than 5 MPH over the limit on limited highways. Do you even HAVE the...

    Automated Supercharger disconnect

    I have been thinking about this since seeing the roboarm Supercharger mockup Tesla did seven years ago. If we have cars that can drive themselves and thus we can send them to get a charge we will need something to keep from hiring teenagers to plug and unplug driverless cars. But I was reading...

    Blue Dot app claims 20% discount on Supercharging

    I signed up for a service called Blue Dot: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bluedot-ev-charging-and-earn/id1488198658 It's supposed to offer discounts on charging and claims you can link all your accounts under Blue Dot and then pay $0.30/kWh everywhere. They offer 20% off Tesla Supercharging. At...

    Wet orange look replacement roof glass

    I had my roof glass replaced in my 2018 TM3 at the local Service Center and they didn't use the original orange wet look glass when they did it. I asked if they had an option for orange and there wasn't a single person at the shop who knew what I was talking about. Had to splash some water on...

    Zendure Superbase-V is a DIY PowerWall starting at $2499 and as little as 41¢/Wh

    https://zendure.com/pages/superbasev I saw the ad on Electrek and I checked it out. This is a portable 120/240-volt 3800-watt portable modular power station on powered wheels that can be charged from public EV chargers or up to 3000-watt solar arrays or just plugged into either 120 or 240v for...

    Destination Chargers at Supercharger Sites

    Moderator note: The first 14 posts in this thread were split off from a thread about a specific Supercharger site. Oh yeah there are LOTS of locations that have destination chargers. Wish there was a way to document them all but Plugshare only shows the Superchargers

    The last of the non-v3 Superchargers

    Just pawing thru Supercharge.info and I think this is the last v2 Supercharger: Supercharger - Dublin, CA - Dublin Boulevard (LIVE 29 Oct 2021, 10 V2 stalls) I think this will be the last Urban Supercharger: Supercharger - San Francisco, CA - 16th St (under construction Feb 2022, 12 stalls)...

    Seattle Installs EV Chargers on Utility Poles for City Residents Without Home Chargers

    This is so cool, check out the article and the tweet below "Seattle City Light will pay for all costs related to the purchase and installation of the chargers. There is no cost to the resident or property owner to request or install a public curbside Level 2 EV charger. "Drivers will need to...

    What's the fastest way to start a CCS charge session?

    I did my first charge session last night using my hacked 2018 TM3 and my new Tesla CCS adapter from Korea. It took 9 attempts to get it going. It didn't help that Target turns off the parking lot lights when they close at 9 pm. All I saw was the green glow from the top of the EA chargers and...

    TesSense - Control your Tesla charging from your Sense Energy Monitor

    I have a Sense Energy Monitor that shows me how much solar power I am generating and how much energy my home is using every microsecond. It is nice for logging and realizing I have left the oven on but I would REALLY love if I could have it calculate any free solar and instead of sending it back...

    Where to shop for used Teslas?

    Has anyone created a good database of used cars for sale? Or is there a place that tends to get the best prices when buying? I am frustrated that I want a cheap Model S with any AP, FUSC, and Air Suspension, but if I go on Cars.com or Autotrader there is NO WAY to filter for this. Not even sure...

    Which city has the most Teslas per household?

    Well, two new Teslas just moved onto my block-long street, that makes six total, too many for me to map them on Apple Maps (cannot map points closer than a few houses away from each other in all directions). It got me wondering if I live in the most densely Teslafied zip code (Alameda, CA...

    Wiki Starlink equipped Superchargers

    Crazy cool features of the new Ford Bronco prototype

    Not saying I won't buy the cT unless these features are included, but for offroaders, some of this seems super smart. I love the idea of being able to hose out the interior, my Jeep sure needed it when I got it, and it's a Grand Cherokee, the most luxurious of the Jeeps. I figure we will be...

    I want EAP on my CyberTruck

    Sure, FSD may be nice one day, but trying to order a cT my only options are FSD or no. Right now if you bought a Model 3 you have the option to add EAP (Enhanced AutoPilot) on top of the free AP that came with the car (or perhaps on a car that you didn't get any sort of driver automation). FSD...

    Does any Model 3 have Trailer Mode?

    I remember that the original Model 3 I purchased was at a time when no Model 3s came with a factory hitch. But more than a year ago they started shipping in Europe and I believe all of those have had a factory hitch option. If you purchased one of these cars can you do the same things a Model X...

    Surprise Referral from an unknown person

    Went to charge my car and it showed after I was done that the cost to charge was $0.00. Finally figured out it was because I had a referral on my account, but the referrer only shows up as Stephanie. OK, I know lots of them, but none that have told me they are now driving a Tesla.

    North to Alaska

    [crosspost] Has anyone noticed the LACK of connectivity with Alaska? Not even anything planned, other than a Supercharger in Anchorage. If I am getting a cyberTruck in 2021 wouldn't they have to be adding Superchargers to the route now? I mean, 30" wheels and an armored windshield, I am...

    Digital rear plate?

    Auto Dome Lights cancelled by Tesla Theater

    Took a while to figure it out. Was it after a software update? Was it a setting that is forgotten when set during the day? Looks like every time I charge the car and turn on the Tesla Theater to pass the time the Auto setting for the Dome Lights is turned Off when the lights dim to start the...

    Why are there so many different threads for each OS release?

    I get that it may be different features on each car, but more often it's different features based on the features you paid for with your car. Shouldn't we have the software discussions for each OS be in the Software forum and then we stub out a link to that thread when the OS first appears and...

    Superchargers waiting for a transformer to open

    Medicare for all - fixing US healthcare

    Do you own a CHAdeMO adapter?

    Tesla has been sold out for weeks and there are Superchargers everywhere. The Model 3 only recently received support for it. It does seem like these are NOT very popular, but maybe they are so a poll is required. Personally I gave up on waiting for CCS and on finding one cheap on eBay. My joke...

    Thanksgiving 2019 Supercharger lines?

    If you are on the road today are you facing lines to get charged?

I think one of the busiest routes is SF...
