I have a 2022 Model X and a 2023 Model 3. We got the got the FSD trail on the Model 3, but not on the Model X, which we drive most often. Any idea why no FSD on the Model X? Now that the price is $99/mo., I might subscribe. But not without testing it first.

Hi. On my 2022 X the mesh screen between the dash and the windshield makes a rattle/vibration sound. If I put my fingers on the screen and press the noise quiets down. Does anyone know how this screen is installed and if there is a way to tighten it down? If seems to happen more often when...

Hi, We had a car leased for our business and turned it in. Does anyone know where I can find the mileage at turn in so I can fill out a form for my accountant? It is nowhere on the return paperwork Tesla gave us.

I went to charge this morning and found a Cybertruck charging there. No one was with the truck so maybe they were over at the Donut Boys. We have seen them roaming around Pleasanton, CA quite often. It definitely attracts a crowd whereever it goes, which as one picture shows also means...

Hi. Does anyone's car make a creaking noise when they start of stop or start off. I get a creaking noise coming from the left rear wheel about 80% of the time when I start off or slow down. Here is the folder with the files showing the noise. You might have to turn the sound up.

Has anyone moved from a newer X to a Y recently? Since I work from home and the pandemic forced me to go online, I wonder if I need an X anymore. The money is fine, but it is a quirky car. We got the 5 seater since it we are a 2 person household with no children at home. So I am thinking...

I am not sure if we should be concerned, but we ordered a car today and are picking it up Friday. I assume they must have ramped up production for end of quarter. Does anyone thing we should be concerned about getting this car versus one made in response to our order?

Hi, We need to lease a replacement Model 3 LR that is coming to the end of its lease. I was wondering if there are any referral credits for the 3 LR. The only thing I saw on the site referenced the S and X.

Hi, This evening I noticed that my Powerwall was charging from the grid at 9PM at about 8-9 kW. There is not power emergency or alert I am aware of, so I though this very strange. It looked like it was refilling the PW after it powered the house through the evening peak. Is this a new behavior?

Hi, We have a 3 LR that we are turning in at the end of the lease in June. My neighbor was having the curb rash removed from his S wheels the other day, so I had the guy come by and do the right-side wheels on the 3 LR. He did a great job of griding and painting. You cannot tell via sight...

Heading to Tahoe (Palisades) from the East Bay (Pleasanton) this week and wanted suggestions for the best places to charge. Any suggestions?

As we all know, ChatGPT has taken over the world by storm. I am into AI/ML, and I thought I would see how it did as a solar advisor named Bob advising me about a home solar system. I think it did a pretty good job estimating the solar system size, costs, and other factors, but I would like to...

I am surprised there is no Stormwatch for Northern and Central CA. We must run pumps to keep the yard clear when it rains hard. I am worried about keeping the Powerwalls topped off, given the skies will be overcast. We are forecast to get over 6 inches of rain in the next few days.

I saw an article that mentioned there was an image of a Tesla wireless charging pad. Did anyone see this and have more information?

Tesla today announced they are offering in Texas $30/mo. unlimited home charging. I guess they are going to be one of the many power companies people can select from in much of Texas.

I got an email from PG&E today that stated (emphasis added): ... "To help you keep your electricity bills low and avoid outages, adding battery storage to your rooftop solar system may be a good option. In mid-2023 new CPUC incentives are expected to become available to assist in making this...

Munro and Assoc had their hardware guy present some insights on HW4 boards, cameras, etc. Looks like a upgrade with cameras in the bumper. 360 birdseye view? Looks like no retrofit for HW3 owners.:(

Looks like Subway is getting on the EV bandwagon. They are adding EV Chargers and playgrounds at some select locations. I wonder if McDonald's, Burger King and other will follow.

I was wondering if people thought we would see Storm Watch turned on here in California and the West over the next few days. We are getting pounded with storm after storm and I am already seeing power and country crews out and about inspecting line and rising creeks. I live on a hill and have...

We belong to a EastBay Community Energy. We are currently on the Monthly true-up option. I just received a message saying they were going to have a Monthly True-up as a default, and Yearly (in April) as an option. The descriptions are below. Does anyone have any thoughts on which true up...

I noticed that the last 3 days or so I am frequently getting a "Check Internet Connection" message on the Tesla Solar App. My internet is fine, so I am thinking it is something on Tesla's side. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hi, I believe my 2022 X LR is lagging behind on versions even though I have it set to Advanced. I am on 2022.28.2 and have not upgraded for a while. What version are you on? And when did it last upgrade. Update - no FSD

Hi, We currently have a 3 LR on a lease that is going to expire in December 2022. We would like to replace it with the same model, but Tesla only shows production in 2023. We can extend the lease once for a max of 6 months. Does anyone have thoughts on whether: a) Tesla will have updated LRs...

Does anyone know if having CPAP qualifies for a PG&E medical need program.

Looks like the layoffs are starting at Ford as they transition to an EV company. 3,000 people will let go this week. This is the first wave of up to 8,000 layoffs.

Apparently BMW has issued a recall for the 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40, i4 M50, iX xDrive50 and iX M60 for fires. Owners being told to park cars outside and not drive or charge them. Here is the recall notice for the i4 from NHTSA. Argh...I was thinking about getting one.

Ford CEO, Jim Farley, is looking to save $3 Billion via job cuts to mostly their legacy ICE business unit. Meanwhile they are planning to spend $50B on the EV business.

Is there a set of alignment settings for a 2022 X floating around? I am thinking putting mine up on the machine and checking my settings out.

Looks like we have another power outage. Our Solarroof and Powerwalls are really proving their worth. Power went out at 10:21 AM and is estimated to be restored by 1:45 PM. 3,026 customers affected, so I don't think it was car hitting a pole this time. Luckily internet is up and Powerwalls...

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a list of changes made to the Model 3 LR from 2019 until now. We are ordering a replacement 3 LR and are wondering what is different.

According to numerous articles like this, Rivian plans to layoff about 5% of staff. I guess Wall Street's expectations must be met and shares down 80% since IPO.

While I am glad we have Solar and Powerwalls, this is getting ridiculous. We have again lost power as of 0900. 3026 customers are affected in this outage. Restoration projected for 1230. But PG&E just said they are dispatching crews to investigate. Solar has risen to 4 kW and powerwalls are...

I need to get some new glasses and sunglasses and was wondering if people had any issues using polarized sunglasses in their Teslas (X and 3). I have had others cars (BMWs) and planes that used their polarizers in their displays and HUDs. So when you look at these items they were black or...

I am trying to be as green as we can and considering switching to a heat pump. However, I am not sure the numbers make sense. We are in the SF East Bay. In the winter months, we don't generate much because of low sun, big old trees, and cloudiness/fog. We are lucky to get 8-9 kWh/day at the...

Hi, I had EAP on my 2018 X 75 and found it was all I needed. When I first ordered my 2022 replacement EAP was no longer available, only FSD was. I now see that EAP is back and I wished I could have ordered it on the 2022 X I picked up in Q1. A couple of questions. First, can you add EAP...

Apparently the new Toyota EV bZ4x sales have been halted because the wheels can fall off. Additionally owners are being told not to drive the vehicle until a remedy can be found. This article goes through the details. Given their reputation for quality I find it shocking Toyota would have...

So not only is a really hot today, but now we have a fire above Castlewood Country Club west of 680. Evacuations in progress there. We are 3 miles or so north and so far, no evacuation. I wonder if we will lose the grid also.

Ford is now adding wording to the sales contracts that requires the owner of a new F-150 Lightning to not sell in the first year. It appears to be a change to reduce private sales competing with dealers. Maybe something else they are learning from Tesla. From this article: 'Ford’s...

It is very hot for us (104F) today. I noticed that generation curve peaked at 1030-1100 at 7.9 kW and has stayed flat since then. As of now, 1350, it still at 7.9 kW. Are there components in the system that limit production when it is hot outside as a safety margin? I thought that panels...

Hi all, Today the SF East Bay we had a lot of clouds drifting across the sky. As a result, I was able to get this fun graph of the effect of clouds on solar production. We nominally generate up to 8.5 kW. But, you can really see the "cloud edge" effect that amplifies the solar generation as...

Looks like another price increase. Among the price increases in this article, a X LR from $114,990 to $120,990 (up $6,000). Glad it was $96K or so when I ordered. Such a bargain. :rolleyes: At least I have the lease purchase option. If I picked up 2 weeks later that would have been gone.

Apparently Ford is again following Tesla and no longer allowing people to purchase their leased vehicles.

This and other articles point to Ford CEO Jim Farley wanting to shift to online only sales for EV's with non-negotiable pricing. I guess dealers will only sell ICE vehicles and demo EVs?

Hi, Our solarroof is putting out a lot of power and we are feeding back to the grid considerably more than we consume. To capture some of this I am thinking about adding a 3rd Powerwall. Is this a good idea? If so, what sort of issues does this create with PG&E, NEM, etc.? Also, has anyone...

Does anyone know if the 2022 Model X has MCU 3 with the Ryzen processor?

With summer it is now time for us to balance PW reserves versus A/C cooling and charging. What are people setting their reserve to? We are at 40% so for 2 PW, 11.2 kWh. Thinking about going a little lower.

Hi, I am having issues with music services and the Tesla implementation and was hoping for some guidance. We have a Spotify premium account. If I my wife is using it in the house, and I get in the car it kills her usage and starts playing her music in the car. Any way to get around this? I...

Does any know if they are doing tours at the Austin Gigafactory?

I have a 2022 X. I don't like listening to music most of the time. But even if I do not listen to music, the UI displays the media select dialog shown below. How can I get rid of this thing? I tried wiping it off the screen, but it will not disappear.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue with Supercharging a 2022 X. I thought I read something about it, but I could not find anything when I searched. I just got my 2022 Model X and was Supercharging it for the 1st time. I got some coffee and noticed it was only at 75% when I...
