Were it me, I'd put the car into Valet Mode which limits power/speed and locks the glovebox and frunk. You'll need to give the driver/moving company a keycard to access the vehicle but I assume you would already do this in order for them to move it off/on the transporter. I would not use...

Contact Service via the app and ask them to perform an over-the-air reformat of the car's SD card. Back in late 2018-early 2019 I had a similar problem with software updates refusing to install. Right before I was scheduled to bring the car in to the service center I was contacted via email...

Like most things, it depends upon the part of the country you live in. Here in Silicon Valley you could almost throw a rock in any direction and hit a Tesla. They are almost as ubiquitous as Starbucks.

My take on this is to do the math like I did in post #12 above. Which is to figure out what the cost per mile is in just fuel (ignoring all other costs like maintenance, insurance, depreciation, etc.). For your own personal vehicle, whatever the fuel type, it's easy to do given you know how...

Coming from another recently updated thread to say: Nice mod! Me being me, if I were to do something like this I'd probably spell it: "L A T E S" Not that I'm a fish expert or enjoying fishing (I don't) but this has the effect of putting the "T" in the appropriate, center location and I...

Not sure; I'm not an electrician although I do play one at home sometimes for simple stuff like installing X10 wall switches and such. I will use the backstab method only for lights and never for outlets.

"How do these lugs work on the latest Wallbox EVSE?" If those terminals are essentially the same design principal as the "backstab" connections on 120VAC outlets and wall switches, I'd say: "Not very well over time."

... a Ford Lightning, that is: https://youtu.be/XQ5gT9dTPEQ As somewhat explained in the test accompanying the YT video, I had just left my veterinarian's office and was headed to a nearby Starbucks when a Ford Lightning ran a red light and nearly t-boned me. My light turned green, I...

Taking a very wild guess, I would say it's probably a MOSFET in an SOT23-6 package (2.9mm x 1.6mm). Would need a clear close-up photo of the device that shows any markings to make any more semi-educated guesses. edit: Further examination of the circuit board photo shows that there are several...

Is it possible that the Rivian owner had a functional CCS adapter but tried to use it on a non-compliant Supercharger? My understanding is that only V3 Superchargers are currently capable of charging non-Tesla vehicles through the use of the NACS-to-CCS adapter. The article about the Tesla...

Hmm... maybe I got confused by another thread. I thought the OP's location was "Belgie", which I understood to be Belgium. Nevertheless, Denmark is also in the EU so my initial post should still be correct :) .

I don't believe that that option will work in Belgium (where OP appears to be). EU uses CCS2, which will not fit the adapter you pointed out.

I ordered one of these cases yesterday and although both the CCS and J1772 adapters do fit inside, it's a bit hard to zipper the case closed. Since the J1772 is stored in the top half of the case and the CCS in the bottom, when you fold the case closed, the adapters are on top of each other. I...

It sounds like you may be missing a piece from the right side. There is a piece of black plastic surrounding the pins which is known as a "deadfront" and there was a service bulletin for replacing these on early 2018 cars. Here's my 2018 LR RWD which had the replacement performed a couple of...

Temperature change should affect all tires the same, not just one or two Increasing ambient temperature should make the tire's pressure gain, not lose PSI

- somebody is playing with your valve stems and letting air out

I believe that's the main point @KenC is trying to make. His car was queried almost every day, in cold conditions, for two weeks, and it lost less than 6%. The OP is concerned about a 5 week period so that might be a loss of 15% in those same conditions. Since the OP is in a moderately warm...

I also have v4.31.0-2552 but I can see Supercharger rates for locations far from my current location. Click the app's Location feature and then click the "lightning" icon (Chargers) and you should see stations near you. Zoom out in the map and it should populate with stations (you may have to...

Were it me, living in L.A., I would not street park for the 5 weeks, especially if a garage is available for the duration. You say you could garage it but it's "not ideal". Exactly what does that mean? Would the assumed hassle of garaging the car outweigh the possibility of having the car...

The CCS retrofit kit is a single part number which includes the ECU and CCS adapter together. It's presumed that Tesla will/can not deduct the cost of the adapter while retaining it (i.e., not giving it to you). About the only way I see that you could do the upgrade without incurring the cost...

I've never used Temu but the same thought can be applied to amazon (Prime member) and ebay (member since May 2001).

New Model 3s should not require any retrofit kit. You can check to see if CCS charging is enabled by going into the Car menu (lower left icon on the car's screen), hitting Software and then Additional Information.

For my CCS retrofit service request a couple of weeks ago, I believe I went into the Battery & Charging category in the app and told them what I wanted (CCS retrofit). Didn't think to look under Upgrades. They understood what I was asking for and quoted me the $350 cost.

Looks to be whatever is connected to the universal joint. A quick Google finds this: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/steering-u-joint-lower-shaft-issue-and-my-solution-so-far.212604/ edit: Note that the above link is from the Model X forum but I'd guess that the steering components...

Lately there seems to be a rash of problems with mobile connectors using the Tesla 14-50 NEMA adapter. My suggestion would be to see if you can plug your setup (minus extension cord) into somebody else's known working 14-50 outlet and see what happens. Alternatively, you can try going to your...

Short attention span? TL;DR? :)

Well, I believe that there once was a corded wall connector but good luck finding one now....

I think that would require that the Tesla wall connector have a plug. Unless there's a dryer buddy model that can be hardwired into a wall.

Such a thing is typically known as a transfer switch. Envision a box with a lever on the side which can be positioned up or down. That allows power to be switched between two devices; your wall connector and a 240VAC outlet. Know that you will probably run afoul of electrical rules which...

Generally, the instructions for aiming your headlights should be found in the Service Manual. Depending upon the year model, those instructions may differ (ex: Highland version should have adaptive headlights, even though they may not currently be enabled)...

Like I said, I'm only about 15 miles away from the Santa Clara Service Center (last sentence in the post you quoted).

Current cost for one Model 3 cabin filter at shop.tesla.com is $17. Two are required, so total parts cost is $34 (plus tax). Three years ago (July 2021) I had mobile service out to my house to replace the filters. As I had a set already on hand, I was only charged labor. That was $31.50. The...

Were it me, I'd go for the Model 3. Unless you need the interior room the S provides, I think that a 3 is easier to maneuver. The 3 has much lower mileage and therefore longer warranty left, along with a (probably) longer range. As long as the minor accident was repaired properly, then I...

I had my cabin filters replaced back in July 2021 by mobile service and the labor charge was $31.50 ($210/hr labor rate, so a 9 minute job). I had aftermarket filters installed so replacement cost was $0. I also have a 2018 LR RWD so the work should be the same. ref: Inspect and re-seal front...

By "charge", do you mean AC (Level 1 or 2) charging or Supercharging (DC)? If the latter, and the car was declared as "salvage", Tesla in most cases will disable Supercharging as a safety measure. I believe you can still AC charge a salvage car.

Not sure I understand what your concern is. Preconditioning the battery is normally for getting a faster DC charge. That means some of the energy in the battery is being used to warm itself, instead of going to the motor and propelling you forward. If you are worried about getting to a...

From the perspective of a 2018 LR RWD owner (310 miles max range when new), I would say that: your "actual range" depends upon the type of driving you mainly do; city vs. highway, in this case. City driving, where you are often slowing down and letting regen put some energy back into the...

Just FYI: I had the CCS retrofit on my 2018 LR RWD done last Saturday (3/16) by Santa Clara, CA mobile service. All went well :) ref: CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

At the moment the only way it would make sense to buy an H2 vehicle would be if it included the free fuel and then you plan on dumping it when the subsidy runs out (AND you live in the SF Bay Area or L.A. AND you don't plan on driving too far from home). I believe that offer is for new and...

Got the official CCS1 charging retrofit installed on my 2018 LR RWD in my driveway today and I'm happy to report that ALL charging sources are working: Supercharger - tested at my usual Urban Supercharger for about 4 minutes, getting 3kWh. Site was almost full and I didn't want to take up too...

@chowdarygm The cost for Supercharging at that station is based upon the power level being delivered at any moment in time. The highest cost, $1.15/min, happens when you first plug in as your battery's state-of-charge is the lowest. At that time you may be pulling 200kW of power so you get...

I think it can be triggered via a voice command, but don't quote me on that.

First thing I would do is have an electrician run a load analysis on your panel. You want to know how much power can be safely supplied for EV charging, given the existing loads in the house (major appliances, HVAC, dryer, refrigerator(s), etc.). That will tell you if 24A is okay, given you...

Yes, but while you are waiting within that "empty" stall, that prevents another Tesla from using it. It's almost equivalent to ICEing and/or could run afoul of EV parking rules of taking up a space while not actively charging. There's really no good answer to having vehicles that have charge...

According to a memo issued by True Zero August 2023: $36/kg

Interesting... my own ChargePoint account shows an Edit button for Payment Type: Going to the Edit page: I'm using a PenFed Visa card as the payment source. Some time back it was another credit card but I've always had Auto Reload since setting up the account.

He didn't say "Duck Duck Go"? I thought all conspiracy theorists used that instead of Google.
