    Adjusting Headlight Angle

    I recently had my left headlight replaced by a technician for the burnt out "eyebrow" light. Now I feel that the light is angled too far down, and driving at night gives me a pretty good spot of light about 10' off the nose of the car. Anyone know how to adjust this? Or is it a "take in for...

    Transporting a Tesla Tips

    Wondering if anyone has any experience with transporting a Tesla on a flatbed.

    Slacker: Play my Searched for Song!

    is this normal? When I search for a song in Slacker, say Michael Jackson’s Beat It, Slacker finds it. When I click on it, it doesn’t actually play the song. Instead, it creates “Beat It Radio” and immediately starts playing songs that are similar. Is there a way to search for and play a...

    Sentry Mode at Work

    Does anyone know how Sentry Mode at work... defines the GPS location for “work?” I have a rather large parking lot, and another lot I use that’s 1/4 mi away. If I have Sentry mode disabled for work, I’m wondering if it will stay disabled if I’m parking in very different locations every day. Thanks.

    My front USB ports seem to stay on all the time, no matter what the car is doing (charging, parked, etc). Is there a way to get them to switch off when leaving the car? Thanks.

    Slacker not Finding Anything...Anyone Else?

    I’ve noticed recently that searching for anything in Slacker just wont play the searched for song. Even if typing in a search yields a correct song, when you select the song...a whole different song plays! Anyone else having trouble with their Slacker search?

    Loot Box Awards Area... Gone

    Has anyone else lost their Awards button in the Loot Box? Mine is no longer there in the app. I am awaiting an award, it previously said ‘scheduled.’ Could this mean it shipped? Nothing new or different on my account page.

    Car To Sit for 2 Months

    Looks like I’m headed on a two month business trip. The Tesla will sleep in my garage plugged in of course. The wife will probably not drive it. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations? Is it as simple as that? Maybe leave the battery at 50%? Thoughts? Thanks.

    Fix for Rattle / Buzz Noise !!!

    I believe I figured out how to fix the high frequency "rattle buzz" that sometimes occurs when driving over cobblestone, pavers, or rough road! My son helped me isolate it. This is NOT the fix for front end "rattle rumble" that is plaguing so many cars and featured in the below thread...

    Hi guys. Well it's my first summer in Vegas with the Tesla. Temps are now averaging 105+ F and it's going to continue to get hotter for the next three months. What are you hot climate guys/gals doing for home garage parking? Any tips or tricks? We always "vent" the garages and side door, and I...

    Audi uses Arachnids?

    Maybe this is old news, dunno. Spotted an Audi Q7 the other day that I swore had arachnids installed. Sure enough, on their website, there is a wheel option that is strikingly similar. Lug nut position appears to be different, but that’s about it.

    Clearbra/Wrap = No AP guarantee

    Do you have Autopilot and a clearbra or wrap? My SC manager emailed this to me today following a series of braking / deceleration events Tesla has been researching. “We have a response to the braking issue. The sensors are not the issue. The radar is. It is located behind the bumper and it can...

    Winds and Windows

    Driving home today from work, winds reported 30 mph with gusts to 40. Vegas is getting blasted right now.

    Does your Active Suspension Adjust Periodically?

    Just wondering what those with active suspension hear and feel. My car seems to ‘adjust’ it’s suspension once or twice a day. It’s not raising or lowering the car, but I hear the little air ‘whoosh’ go for a second or two every so often. Thanks.

    Choosing a SpC in Nav Route

    Awesome Tesla Commercial during Super Bowl!

    Did you see it!!?? No, neither did I. :( Why doesn’t Tesla do advertising? Some kind of “feel good, go green” campaign, with trees and flowers...and then a Tesla blowing the doors off of some supercar. Yet I wonder why they haven’t really gone out and marketed the car?

    How Soon to Add Clearbra?

    Owning a Tesla can Save You Time and Money

    An article I just finished up. I have a friend who is as stubborn as they come, he can't stand Teslas because of the TIME it takes to fill up, specifically on long road trips. No matter what I say, he always reverts to that defense for his arguments about what Teslas and EVs are so bad...

    Quick Question: Uploading Docs after Order

    I've uploaded everything but insurance. Just passed the 3 day mark and the automated Tesla email said to get that in ASAP to "avoid delays in my order." Will delaying my insurance upload really delay production of my car? Seems a bit odd to get insurance now anyway (and pay for it) since my...
