    Windows Phone Link Blocking Tesla Key

    I recently picked up a Microsoft Surface Pro to replace my iPad Pro and so far am really loving it. I also decided to try out Phone Link for the first time which lets you connect an iPhone to a Windows computer and see all your notifications from your phone and send/receive calls and texts on...

    Phone Mount - Model S Refresh

    So my go to phone mount has been ProClip for the past 7 - 8 years, but it looks like they haven't released anything for the Model S refresh yet. My EDD is still a ways off, but want to have a good phone mount solution ready to go. Phone has to be at eye level and mounted securely, which is...

    Lease Trade-In Question

    Who has traded in a leased Tesla on a new Tesla when the existing lease was not yet up? How did that play out? Did you get screwed on the early lease termination? I've got a lease on a 2020 M3P that is about 18 months in, but I've only got about 3,700 miles on the car and it is completely...

    Anyone traded in a leased Tesla back to Tesla early?

    I have a Tesla Model 3 with a lease that ends in 2023. Thinking I might get a Cybertruck or Plaid+ Model S (or maybe even a Roadster if they ever come out) sometime in the next year or so but before the M3 lease ends. Has anyone else done this with Tesla where they traded in a leased Tesla...

    Charging Issue Sheltering in Place

    I’ve only had my Model 3 since February. I had a Model S before. Since the shelter in place orders started I haven’t driven much, maybe once every 10 days or so. I leave the Tesla plugged in all the time to my Tesla wall charger set at 90%. The first few times I went out to drive the car after...

    Computer Crashed?

    This morning I went out to my car to go to work as usual. I opened the trunk with the fob and put my bag in, then unlocked the car with the fob to unplug it (I approach at the rear so the car doesn't auto-unlock for me). After unplugging, I initiated summon from the fob as I do every morning...

    Does Tesla Prohibit Destination Chargers from Being Used by Non-Customers?

    In the past I have asked hotels with Tesla destination chargers whether I can use the charger even if I am not staying at the hotel, and have not had any issues before. One asked for a $10 fee, but I thought that was reasonable. However, I just got a response back from a bed & breakfast that...

    general Tesla investment discussion

    Not today they didn't. My TSLA position is down 8.5% since the beginning of the month. Hopefully just a short-term blip. We will see.

    Finding Cabins with EV Charging

    Has anyone figured out a good way to find vacation properties that have EV chargers or at least 240v outlets that can be used to charge EVs? I'm not talking about hotels, but rather cabins, cottages, etc. like what you normally find on airbnb or vrbo for example. I can't seem to find any way...

    Wall Connector Cord Management

    I did a search, but couldn't find much that was on point. I just had a Wall Connector installed with the 24 foot cord. It is mounted on the back of my garage, near the front end of the car. As such, I have to completely unroll it to reach the charge port, and then completely roll it back up...

    Open Frunk with Screwdriver

    Came across this interesting article today. Definitely don't store anything in the frunk that you don't want stolen. Anyone know exactly where in the wheel well the release is on the Model S? You can open the frunk on a Tesla Model X with just a screwdriver

    FSD Features to be Available in 3 to 6 months

    I may be mistaken, but I think this is the first real timeline we've seen for the release of any FSD features. Elon says that within 3 to 6 months, we will be able to see noticeably different features between FSD and EAP-only cars.

    Rear USB Question

    I have a quick question. Are the rear seat USB ports in the current MS connected to the infotainment system, or just for power? I can't plug my dash cam into the USB ports in the front as it thinks I am connecting it to a computer and goes into transfer mode so I have to plug it into a USB...

    Sunroof while driving?

    I just took delivery of my car a few days ago, but have noticed that the sunroof won't open when the car is in drive. I have to stop and put the car in park to open it. Is this normal?

    What's Your TTI Ratio?

    I was just wondering what the typical financial situation is for someone that purchases a MS, but wanted to find out in a way where people don't need to divulge their income or other personal information. I thought a poll would be a good way to do it, as the results are anonymous. I also...

    Is Charging to 100% Really that Bad?

    It seems fairly accepted on the forums that charging to 100% and letting the car sit for more than an hour should be avoided as it can cause faster degradation over the long term to the battery. The number of times I've seen this basically universal advice on TMC over the past few weeks lead me...

    Montana LLC

    Has anyone used a Montana LLC to purchase or lease their Model S? I just learned about this from a friend, and wanted to see if anyone has done it before with a Tesla? Below is a website of a company that provides the service (forming and maintaining the LLC, registering the vehicle, etc.) for...

    Advice on Home Charging Upgrade

    I ordered my first Tesla last week (P100D :D), and am thinking about my charging setup in my garage. I currently have a J1772 EVSE for my Leaf that ouputs 7.2kW on a 40 amp circuit breaker. I can't go higher than a 45 amp circuit breaker without having to upgrade my whole electrical box...
