    Why is the gateway taking energy from the grid during peak?

    See the two images below for reference . . . I have time-of-use setup with peak hours 4-9pm with the preference set for cost savings. The first screenshot below shows 6:24pm (in the middle of the peak range) and the house only wanting to use 4.4kW of electricity. I have multiple Powerwalls...

    A better way to mount toll transponders

    I want to share a picture of how we mounted a toll road transponder in our Model 3. This is particularly useful if you have any film on your front windshield or you simply don't like look of a (typically) white transponder stuck to your front windshield. My wife took some dark paper then cut &...

    what causes this orange tint from our windows?

    See the image below which shows an orange-ish tint across the top of the windshield, mostly in the area where we have the normal darker tint. It is generally only visible when there is rain/dew/water on the glass. This orange-ish color also appears on the top glass panels of the falcon wing...

    Why does vehicle turn off with passenger & key fob in car?

    There are a number of situations in which I'm puzzled and/or frustrated by when the vehicle turn off despite having a key fob and person in the vehicle. Allow me to give a few use cases: My wife & I are both in our MX, both with our keys, and I'm driving. I get out of car for a few minutes...

    Can we see/navigate to the address of a contact?

    It doesn't appear that I/we can navigate to the address of a contact from my phone (w/Android 7 if that matters). We can navigate to the location of a calendar entry, but I don't seem to be able to even display the address of a contact. Am I missing something, or are addresses for contacts (from...

    Why not ALWAYS display next nav instruction on dash?

    Currently the dashboard navigation screen only shows the next turn when you get close to the turn. Until that point, the dash display shows a map, but no turn instructions. For clarity, let me show two pictures. This first shows the dash while navigating but the next turn is not imminent so it's...

    What are these "hidden" latch points on the sides?

    See these two images, first showing the position on the side and the second showing that pressing on the top and then lifting from the bottom exposes a small bar/latch point below the spring-loaded cover. This is on my 5-seater delivered in December. For what purpose is this? Does this have...

    5 seaters, how is your load floor supported behind the 2nd row?

    When my 5-seater arrived, service told me I was missing something for the support of the load floor immediately behind the 2nd row seats. I have that board which can be stood vertically a few inches behind the 2nd row, and it is curved to match the interior sides, but nothing really holds it in...

    Why doesn't preheating while plugged in completely warm the battery?

    I believe I've read every post on cold weather driving, including and especially the great one by @Doug_G : Cold Weather Driving My question is based on my personal experience and this statement made by @Doug_G : "The second thing you'll notice is that you have regenerative braking at about...

    how to best capture charging electricity usage data?

    I have a HPWC hooked to a 50 amp breaker and I'd like to capture the true amount of electricity that my MX uses, including charging, the amount of electricity used to pre-heat or pre-cool the vehicle, etc. Has anyone used a device like a clamp-on amp meter, either near their breaker panel or...
