    2017 Model X 100D - Full PPF, under 3600 miles

    Looking to sell my X while the prices are hot, as I have a Y ordered. The X is too large for what we need it for and we have a 3 also. I hope someone with a larger family can make good use of her. As my onlyusedtesla ad says, she's in showroom condition (really!), still has the new car smell...

    Tesla.Com Trade In Prices Currently (August 2021)

    Looking to possibly get the best price on my 2017 X without the hassle of private sale while the used and X market is hot. Using the Tesla.com trade in feature (since they know most of the details of the car) gets me 73K (5K more than Vroom, etc.). My question is: Is there a way to have...

    Supercharger - Chantilly, VA

    Unless we missed it, looks like some new coming soon pins are on the Supercharger map. Chantilly has one (on the name, as always, useless for actual placement). Comments in this other thread: Chantilly Va Supercharger coming soon Note also Reston and Fairfax (236), are they new also? We can...

    Tesla App 3.10.2 Solar Changes

    Anyone want to complain to Tesla about the continually shrinking solar impact graphs on the app? Again things have shrunk with 3.10.2 and this time the font of the kWh for the two bars is smaller (for no reason I can see (lol)). The whole thing was shrunk a few releases ago, with plenty of...

    Select own OP posts (thread starter)

    I was just trying to find my own threads and unless I’m missing something it’s a pain. Be nice to have a search option for OP posts or thread starter ports. I have a ton of posts but not that many threads. If I want to add something to one that’s a bit old, it’s hard to find among all the...

    iOS 13 New Paragraph Issue

    All of a sudden, new paragraphs in posts with iOS 13 do not start with initial capital letters. Minor point but a real pain to backspace and correct. The thing is, I can’t duplicate in mail or elsewhere and have no idea why it would be only in forum posts. Any ideas? examples are (right...

    Tesla app 3.10 and Energy Display

    Is everyone seeing a smaller display for Solar Impact? I can post a screenshot if needed but should be obvious that the area for the generated/used bars is now about two thirds what it used to be before 3.10. I’m wondering if the area below is ‘for’ something or this is a bug?

    Car in lock/unlock loop, reset by power down

    This is the weirdest thing my Model X has ever done, posting here for more visibility (and I can't see why it would be X specific). Our X is on 2019.32.2.1, the 3 on 2019.32.2.2. Starting this week (and not when they both got these firmwares), the X has had two incidents of going into a...

    SolarEdge Inverter Issue-DC Error

    After running my TE Solar setup for about 9 months (and the recent addition of the 3 PWs), now we are having a new DC error message pop up as below on the inverter. Tesla took the particulars and will have scheduling call back. Last time (last fall) this meant several wasted months until...

    Tesla app 3.8.6

    Only change I can find is that it now lets you access the PW Gateway serial number (below the firmware) which is a nice addition since mine was only on a sticky inside the cover! (I have it stored in Evernote but having it in the app is excellent.) Any other updates anyone see?

    Powerwall Monitoring Details with the Tesla App

    I couldn't find anything and asked this question buried in a thread, and thought I'd break it out here to make it easier to find. This is how you get set up for detailed historical monitoring with Powerwalls, maybe only when added to Solar. People that have Tesla Solar are used to having...

    [FIXED] Tesla login server issue (as of 2019-03-01 1 PM ET)

    They are down and being worked on as of 1 PM ET. I wasn't able to login to the mobile app for the last hour or so, and the website also was screwed up (one car was missing, that is back now). I could login there after a try or two, which is weird. They are definitely working on it (got...

    'Car is locked' notification

    Anyone know if S and X's are ever going/supposed to get the 'honk chirp' notification that the 3's have? This works great on our 3, and we were told too many times that the 3 wouldn't have anything that the 'better' (lol) cars didn't get. Tired of walking backwards to watch the mirrors fold or...

    Local forum posts edit privs

    It seems we can’t edjt our own posts at all. Ever. In the local forums. For example, I post a response in the DC Forum, want to add something or fix a typo and the only options are Delete or Report. Obviously, I’ve edited my own posts in the main forums (like here) thousands of times until...

    SolarEdge Inverter Startup Error New Install

    Just had my PTO for my PV install for Tesla panels (43 310 W panels, east/west housetop install, 15 east, 28 west) and the inverter has this startup error, which comes and goes. 18x7B The manual says it’s ‘grid too high’ (overvoltage?). TE says it’s an arcing issue, which makes little sense...

    Solar Panel Meter Swap Zapped Garage Door Opener

    Title is pretty much it! Finally had the main meter swapped today for solar panel PTO with no notice, of course. Saw the microwave blinking, went outside to check, woohoo, digital meter! Let my Tesla guy know, he will check for PTO, since nothing left by the crew. Then GF gets home and texts...

    New 3 and almost constant charging

    Our new 3 seems to have quite a different charging pattern on our HPWC than our X. (We have two HPWCs in the load sharing mode.) The X is set to 80% and goes to 80 and stops, discharges to 77, charges to 80 and stops, etc. The 3 is set to 80, and seems to not want to discharge much at all...

    New 3D with 2018.32.7

    Just picked up our new 3 Dual Motor we ordered after the ‘order now or lose your Tax Credit’ scare of October 13 (ordered on 10/14, car arrived 10/23 lol!). It has 2018.32.7 software. WTF? I expected 39 something at the least, not some version of 8.1 from August. Anyone else seeing deliveries...

    And now after all that, there IS a 2016.26.3 On a Model S in the UK, sez TeslaFi. :D

    Tesla Confirms 200K Hit In July, Full US Rebate for All of 2018

    Tesla confirms hitting federal tax credit threshold, $7,500 credit cut in half at end of 2018 As many of us thought, the delays, stockpile, and redeployment were for this reason.

    Issues seeing attachments posted that others can see

    I've had several threads where I can't see attachments (photos), and this one, I can't see them and others can. Which is really strange. I logged out and in, no change. All I see is the large 'do not enter' symbol, especially in that large post with half a dozen photos of load panels (I...

    Tesla Solar Panel Options

    We are so used to all the options being spelled out for the car, it seems it’s not the case for the Tesla Energy side of the house. I’m working on a panel install contract with TE (14.8 kW, 47 315W panels (the black ones)) and I keep finding out about ‘interesting things’. I thought I’d list a...

    Car won’t charge on HPWCs/UMC, says check Wall Power

    Posting this here, even though Model X, since it’s really not X specific. Just after loading 2018.20, this happened. Tesla doesn’t think it’s firmware dependent..... I have two load-sharing HPWCs, and a backup 14-50 (see sig). On the first drive after loading 2018.20, and returning home...

    Software Update 2018.18.2 301aeee

    Looks like this one is rolling out big, TeslaFi and ev-fw have it on many cars quickly, release notes reported to have nothing changed since 2018.18 (which is to say, nothing new).

    Car overcharging whenever servers are down?

    This morning (May 8) for the third time my car overcharged and it’s happened once again when the Tesla servers were down. The last time two weeks ago it happened, and it also did it once after an update. I can dismiss the firmware update as needing a reboot perhaps but doing it twice when...

    CHAdeMO in Maryland/Virginia/NC in 2018

    Posting this here since I'm trying to get a sense of *current* usefulness of spending the $450 for a CHAdeMO adapter. I've read lots of the (oldish) posts on this, and many are old, many are from the PNW, where there seems to be a great network for this. But around here (NoVa, rest of the...

    Software update 2018.4.7

    [Moderator note (bmah): This thread started with about 20 messages moved from the "Software update 2018.4.5" thread.] And now I'm wondering what's up... no new takers today? No new .7 for two days?!

    Bug Report Voice Command..... Useless?

    Click Baity title on purpose... I've been recommending people do this on Reddit for things like the dead backup camera issue and other issues where a car snapshot would be of use, and someone mentioned today that 'they have been told several times by techs that the reports made by 'bug report'...

    2017.42.1 94435ee

    Let's see if this is the fix for the various 17.42 issues with Steering Assist and SAS (and also Homelink previously!). TeslaFi reports two cars, in Canada, so far.

    Issue with new X: Steering/Parking/Airbag all out; any clues as to cause?

    I'm just wondering if anyone has clues or history what this could be before I hear back from the SC. I figure it has to be something 'general' (like a overall sensor board, is there such a thing?) because of the nature of the beast. Last night as I was calling Customer Support about the...

    "OP Indicator"

    Many sites like this one (MacRumors, for one) have an indicator in a thread that the author of a post is the thread starter/OP/whatever you want to call them. I was wondering if there's a reason that's not available/enabled in this software. I often in a long thread find myself wondering who...

    New DC Metro Supercharger Plans-2018

    New 2018 planned Superchargers! Several of the DC ones (SE, NE, Columbia Heights) and Arlington are new for 'end of 2018'. Edit: And Annapolis! And I missed Gainesvillle! These will all probably be these new Urban Superchargers (at least DC, maybe Annapolis and Gainesville). Tesla...

    Security Issues With CANBus?

    Interesting article I haven't seen elsewhere... looks like it needs physical access or wifi access. Some discussion of OBD access, which I believe Tesla doesn't allow fully? Hackable flaw in connected cars is ‘unpatchable’, warn researchers

    Premium Upgrades Package no longer includes phone dock?

    I happened to note that the current language on the Model X configurator calls the phone dock an 'optional accessory' (perhaps it always did, since it technically is), so I looked at the contents of the PUP, and it's no longer there. In the accessories store, the dock is available, and...

    My Tesla -> My Account ?

    First I've seen, but it appears that My Tesla has transformed into My Account on the Tesla website. I assume because of all the other options (Roof, Powerwall, etc)? The URL is still /mytesla, which is interesting, but all the onscreen references (I didn't do an exhaustive search...) seem to...

    Always Visible Top of Page 'Breadcrumbs' for Current Forum

    When we click on an alert and go to a post in a thread, we are taken down into a thread, and we can't tell what forum we are in. Is there a way to have the breadcrumbs for the forum that thread is in be always visible at the top of the page? For example: Model X->Interior & Exterior (or) Model...

    Model X onboard manual shows Model 3 Autopilot controls

    Electrek has this interesting tidbit: the onboard manual now seems to show the same control shifter stalk as on the Model 3 RC's with Autopilot as a 'gear', without the separate stalk. So perhaps all three cars will be getting this soon? Tesla puts Model 3’s new gear selector with Autopilot in...

    Tesla to open own body shops

    From the 2017Q1 Investor letter; there's also a liitle in the Electrek article about body shops but hadn't seen anything here about it. From the letter: The Electrek article, which makes mention: Tesla is adding hundreds of new stores, service centers and repair trucks before Model 3 launch...

    Emoticons not displaying... at least manual ones...

    I frequently enter :) for example instead of using the editor to enter emoticons. That was supposed to be (and may be) a smileyface. (Entered as : ) ) Recently (like today?) at least the manually entered ones are displaying as a square block of nothing. Logged out and in, no change.

    Elon Tweet: No 'significantly new consumer-facing technology' in Model 3

    My reading of his tweets today is that there is no HUD planned, and that the center display is all we get. Thoughts? He clearly says their is no new technology that is not in an S or X and/or that a consumer would notice (as opposed to production line improvements).
