    Has vision caught up to the USS sensor capability yet?

    Hello all. I know the plan was to replace USS with vision but not sure if this has been abandoned or where this stands. We have a tight garage and this is important to us. Our existing Y has USS and its dead accurate. Just wondering if we get another Y next year will we be setting up a tennis...

    Harris Ranch superchargers powered by diesel generators??? Really?

    Hi folks. Saw this story pop up on my feed. Seems weird. We have been to Harris ranch a number of times and I don’t recall seeing a diesel generator powering the superchargers. Has anyone noticed this? Is it maybe for general back up power for the service station etc? Here’s the link...

    Installing a hitch and 7 pin trailer plug on Model S.

    Hi folks. Just wondering if anyone has installed a trailer hitch and 7 pin trailer plug on a model S. It would have to be able to haul 3500 pounds and deal with 350 pounds hitch weight. We are considering a model S for our next tesla but it needs to be able to tow our little teardrop trailer...

    Are any of the new V4’s in North America CCS1 compatible?

    So re plans of Tesla opening the supercharger network to other brands. I believe there are now two V4 superchargers in the US. (Canada and Mexico seem to be only installing V3’s yet). Are either of the two new V4 superchargers CCS compatible. (I believe one is in Yuma Arizona and the other one...

    Improving range calculation when in trailer mode.

    Hey all. I have noticed that when in trailer mode the range calculation on the graph only changes by 8 percent. Is there a way to improve this? How can we the user convey to tesla that this is out by at least 20 percent and inquire if there is something we can do different to improve this...

    Can’t set FSD Without it rocketing up to the speed limit.

    Here is the problem. We have full FSD beta. If I want to engage FSD but at a slower speed than the speed limit, I can’t. As soon as I engage FSD it rockets up to whatever the speed limit is and I have to furiously use the little wheel to slow it down. Any suggestions? I have tried every...

    What exactly does “Trailer mode” do.

    Hi folks. Other than disabling autopilot what else does “trailer mode” do. I have seen one person indicate that there was some kind of anti sway thru the brakes affect but find no reference to that. Or maybe that was the model X. Any techs out there no more about this. Thanks.

    Hypothetical. Camp mode Temp set to 15 degrees C and it’s 20 degrees C out. Does heat draw any current? Does fan stay on 1?

    As per the title. How does the HVAC react? Will the fan continue to spin? Thanks.

    Entertainment icons (YOUTUBE, NETFLIX etc) disappeared.

    Hi Folks. Strange thing happening. When entertainment page is selected there are no icons. YouTube, Netflix etc. I can use the voice command “open YouTube” and it works. Did the standard reboots etc. No joy. Any ideas?

    Does the 12 volt accessory plug in the trunk area of the Y stay active if car is turned off?

    Hypothetical question. Re suspension of P and non P

    Max hitch weight for a model Y is 350 pounds. I’ve seen model Y’s with that much hitch weight on them and they don’t squat much. But here’s the question. 1. Which will squat more with the same 350 pounds hitch weight. The performance model or the non performance model. 2. Bonus question. How...

    Does model x auto level in trailer mode.

    As per the title. If you put a trailer on it does it auto level so the car is level. Depending on what I read it suggests auto leveling is disabled in trailer mode...which would be dumb. Thanks in advance.

    Ordering an X. Towing a little trailer. A few questions.

    Hi folks. Looks like we will add to the Tesla stable and order a model X. We intend to pull a trailer about 4100 pounds with a hitch weight of about 390 pounds. A few questions to those towing. Do you use a weight distribution hitch and if so which one. We are experienced towers and no the...

    Can Camp mode be used with environmental turned off?

    Hi folks. Kind of a funny camping mode question. There are times when we have a couple devices powered up by the 12 volt accessory plug for longer periods of time via our little 200 watt sine wave inverter. I used a "Kill A Watt" and it seems pretty consistent at round a 114 watt load. Car...

    Two questions re crosswalks and speed control.

    We have FSD. 1. We notice that the car slows down to around 36 km when approaching a crosswalk, even when no one is crossing and lights not flashing. It does this 100 percent of the time. Are others seeing this? 2. The car does a very good job of detecting the speed limit but does not...

    Possible model 3 trailer hitch coming ?

    Electrek has an article on this. Whadayathink. How soon, and more important will we be able to take our existing model 3’s to the service centre (or ranger comes to our door) and install the hitch and hopefully light wiring harness??? Opinions welcome. Obviously I would be a customer. Stay...

    Re-hung the UMC.

    This time we used a cord organizer so the handle is a little more protected. The cord passes through the back of it for a neater end product. Also put it higher so less chance of walking into it.

    How are your mud flaps working. These are working good. PICS

    We put these on last year after most of the snow fell so didn't have a chance to see if they helped much. We have had a lot of slushy weather lately. Gotta say, they help a lot. Still get some splash on the rockers and maybe the first 30 centimeters up but overall we are pretty happy. Big...

    Supercharging for larger form-factor vehicles

    Moderator note: The first 22 posts of this thread were moved out of the thread for the Firebaugh, CA Supercharger. Why do cybertrucks need a special stall? Or are we talking about a cybertruck pulling a trailer. In which case one should include model Y and model x.

    Do you think service centres will offer after purchase trailer hitch for model 3?

    As per the title. I ask because then they may also add software for trailer mode for rear sensors. For those who add aftermarket hitches, how do you override or disable the rear sensors? Or is it even a problem. Not sure if it makes a difference but we live in Canada. Thank you in advance.

    Hi all. As per the title. Those of us who came from the leaf world are used to be able to see exactly what the various functions of the car are using for power. We have had the car for a couple months but haven't seen anything in the menus that provide this facility. Not a biggy. Just...

    Chademo adapter performance on a Tesla model AWD with 50 KW BC Hydro Chademo station.

    Do the silver Aero Covers shown in the App image actually exist somewhere?

    Good morning all. We noticed that the image of the model 3 on our App is shown with what looks like silver Aero Wheel covers. Do these or did these actually exist, eg, available for purchase somewhere thru Tesla channels? They look kinda cool. Thanks in advance. *Photo removed at OP request

    How good are the all seasons that come standard on the 18 inch aeros?

    We normally go to warmer climates south of the border for winter. For at least the next season cross border travel will very probably not be possible due to covid 19. Not so much the border thing but out of country health insurers have already said they will not cover COVID 19 patients. So...

    Future owner. Charging question.

    Any chance of EAP coming back?

    We are not really interested in FSD as we think it will be years before it works, but we would be interested in what used to be called EAP. Anyone think Tesla would bring back EAP? Seems to me it might generate a little cash for atesla as well. Opinions?

    Model 3+ Max charging rate compared to LR

    Hi all. Re the model 3+. I have watched various videos on YouTube showing some impressive charge rates on the model 3 both on V3 and V2 Superchargers.
