Will the vehicles equipped with the NACS charge port in 2025 be able to technically use the Version 2 Supercharges? If so, does Tesla plan to allow them to use a subset of that installed base or only allow use of some of the V3/V4 units?

It is my understanding the older V3 Wall Connector works with Powershare if you have any version of Powerwall? If you do NOT have a Powerwall, you will need the newer Universal Wall Connector and the new V3 Gateway? Does anyone know exactly what the internal electrical differences are between...

Since MSRP is used to calculate the lions share of registration fees for several years, I would greatly appreciate it if someone who has taken delivery and registered Cybertruck post the MSRP shown on the top of the registration form. I am weighing whether to pull the trigger on ordering the FS...

Something appears to have changed with the last or previous firmware update. Prior to that time my M3 only woke up if parked for more than 6+ days or new firmware downloaded (assuming not driven, doors opened or using the Tesla App etc..). Now something related to my iPhone 7 or an app on the...

I believe most of the low cost 12V Bluetooth Battery Monitors work up to 16V; therefore, most should work to monitor the new 16V lithium batteries in the newer Tesla vehicles (mine does). My Tesla is not exposed to temps below 32F so I can't verify the following. It appears the 16V battery...

The onboard charger can provide up to 32A on this vehicle; therefore, the Wall Connector can deliver a max of 240V*32A of power to the vehicle or (7.7kW). None of the seats or steering wheel where being heated during this test but the rear window defogger was enabled. I monitored the shore...

Since the price of the US version of the Model 3 Highland (that just went on sale in the US) is the same as the old version, I assume it will not be getting the premium 17 speaker two sub-woofer sound system? If it does, that would make it an even more attractive purchase!. I believe the fog...

Onscreen error indicated Autopilot terminated due to system error Found the following in the service screen. APS_w130_ECU_Thermal_Issue error occurred 19 times Dec 21 2023 APS_alertSource = TURBOB showing a temp of 80C

Seems like rotating the tires in the garage could be fairly easy with the Cybertruck. Set the vehicle to its highest lift setting, locate either two or four jack stands properly under the vehicle then lower the vehicle suspension. Hopefully a new owner tries this to verify if it will work.

We use the Vent window option often during hotter dry months but have been experiencing issues. When issuing the Vent window command from the Tesla App, on many occasions the car is in Camp Mode when we return to the car and the windows are down in the vent position. We do not know why that is...

The in-car onscreen display previously displayed the supercharging cost/kw/minute when you selected a particular supercharging balloon; likewise, if I remember correctly, the list of Superchargers shown on the left hand side also displayed the charging cost of all within range. Did Tesla remove...

Using the UMC2 from of our totaled 018 Model 3 to charge our new 2023 Model 3 acts very different. I charged the 2018 Model 3 at least 20 times on the same 120V outlet and it always charged at 12A do not recall the voltage. Using the exact same charging setup with the 2023 Model 3 it...

The trim mounted under the rocker panels on my 2023 Model 3 has four covers you flip to access the bolts. Under the front and rear there are bolts but the two in the middle do not have a bolt or pushpin. I tried to hand thread the bolts from the front/rear into the two middle attach points but...

Notice several oil spots on the garage floor under the drivers side rocker panel. Ran my hand along the plastic piece attached to the rocker panel and found oil from front to back; likewise; there was a film of oil along the entire painted part of the rocker panel from front to back. I wiped...

What is the typical max time the 2023 Model 3 can sleep before wakening to top off the low voltage battery? When it awakes, how long does it typically take to top off the new 16V lithium battery? My guess is less than the 2 to 3 hours needed for top off on our 2018. This might be why the...

Our 2018 Model 3 with PTS heaters could defog the windows almost instantly, which can be very important for safety. If you take off on a cold day without preconditioning the car (I almost never did on our 2018) and a few minutes down the road need to defog, will the windows clear? That was one...

Probably asked before. The pedestal delivers energy to the HV battery with some overhead for inefficiency; likewise, a fair amount of energy can be used by the HVAC and motor stators during a charging session. I think early on Tesla only charged for the energy delivered to the HV battery but...

I assumed, maybe falsely, that the CT would come with a tow receiver standard on all models? What receiver size/class is required for towing 10,000 pounds? 14,000 pounds?

We ordered our new inventory Model 3 RWD using our own referral link (self referral) on Jun 17th and picked up the car on June 22 which currently only show 3500 loyalty credits. According to the Tesla showroom rep, I was under the impression there would also be 1500 buyer credits. Has anyone...

The Homelink on our 2018 could fold/unfold the mirrors when entering/exiting the garage; however, our 2023 does not have Homelink and I do not wish to subscribe to MyQ and my garage door opener is not within range of my Wifi. Is there anyway to configure the car to, without...

Retrieved the Tesla store purchased front and rear sunshades from our totaled 2018 Model 3; however, the front shade appears to not fit correctly in our new 2023 Model 3 but the rear appears the same. Can anyone confirm the dimensions have changed for the front shade and have NOT for the rear...

The latest Tesla Iphone app has added a new feature called passive authentication which can disable the phone to be used as a key. I was not initially sure if it disabled all configured phones that could be used for passive entry/driving on the car side or the phone side. The new function is...

Looks like Tesla has removed the read-only forum posts from it website. Is anyone aware of a place where these posts are archived and are searchable? Thanks in Advance! Regard, Ron

There has evidently been several instances where CCS1 equipped BEV's have potentially been damaged due to faulty Electrify America charging pedestals. Now that many Tesla vehicles can DCFC at locations other than Tesla Superchargers using an adapter, is there anything in a Tesla vehicle/adapter...

Start crazy thinking. Some Reno homeowners have been without power going on 5 days now with night time temps as low as mid teens. It is a fair bet that at least some of affected home owners also own Tesla vehicles. I know that there are many options for home backup power but none, in my...

I know the cabin camera is used after the installation of the FSD Beta firmware but is it used when establishing your initial driving score to qualify for the FSD Beta program? Thanks! Regards

Decided to check out "Transport Mode" yesterday. The "Transport Mode" onscreen button is grayed out sitting in the car in park. Stepped on the brake still grayed out. Screen indicated put car in Drive. After doing so, button turned blue. When enabling "Transport Mode", is the loud clunk...

Just discovered my locked Model 3 is accessible when my wife's smartphone is more that 20 feet from the car. Need to do some more experiments with her phone and mine. This is scary because we have stayed at several hotels where both of our phones were around 15 to 20 feet from the locked car...

I am attaching a picture of the damage on the passenger side. Do any of you forum members know if there is any low voltage wiring or HV battery cooling lines running behind that bent rocker panel. I think I have seen tear down pictures that may of had both. Any help would be greatly...

Watched an out-of-spec Youtube video where he implied Rivian would suggest which shared stall to use on their new Adventure charging network. I do not know how close to real time the SC status is displayed on the Tesla in car Navigation system? The Tesla Nav system already gives us good...

I am guessing my June built 2018 Model 3 does not have the hardware that supports the new blended brake feature? Anyone know what hardware is different from the Model 3 cars that do support this new feature? Thanks in Advance Regards

The OBDLink MX in the past was not powered when the car was sleeping (no additional phantom drain). Notice yesterday the two outer LEDs on the MX where illuminated while the car was sleeping. According to the spec the power draw is 2 ma in sleep mode and 69 ma otherwise. Since the power LED...

Just watched a video on Youtube where the owner indicated he could not release the parking brake (using tow mode). The Model Y was rear ended hard enough that the HV Pyro-Fuse blew. The 12V systems and center screen appeared to be fully functional. Since the parking brake functions using 12V...

Garage fires are fairly rare but they do happen. A garage fire is bad but if a 75KWH battery pack catches fire that could be a hum dinger of a fire. I tested Summons with my Model 3 in the garage with the door closed yesterday. The car waited for the garage door to open then backed out and...

I monitor the power drawn at the point where my UMC2 plugs in. During the last two charging sessions the KWH's used were the same at the monitor point as the new Charging Stats. Could be off by +/- 1KWH because neither had decimal point precision. The Smartphone app also displays the KWH...

Discounting the neutral connection what is the difference between a 14-50P and 14-60P if they both support 4 gauge wire? The two straight blades and the ground appear to be physically the same on both. To verify my replacement PCS board would charge at 48A, I installed a oven/range 14-50...

Several months ago I measured the 12V DC power usage while the car was sleeping with an ammeter connected in line and found the power usage to be about 7 to 8 watts. This measurement could have also been performed using a shunt. Many sources say the power usage while the car is awake (normally...

On a rear wheel drive unit the front wheels should freewheel if jacked up? Do the front wheels freewheel on an all wheel drive if jacked up (I think they should)? Neither has a parking brake on the front wheels? If you unplug the connectors to the electric parking brake on both sides and apply...

I would assume the heat pump could be used to supplement heating of the traction battery? (AC on older models can cool the battery) If true, how does the power heating efficiency/power usage compare to using the motor stator windings to perform the traction battery heating? Are there...

I have charged several times where a Supercharger pedestal is down or not operating as full capacity. I either find out which ones are not operating correctly by trial and error or some nice Tesla owner informs me that the one I backed into has a problem (I do the same). The navigation system...

Super Charged at Poncha Springs Colorado yesterday and the rate was .35/kwh eleven months ago it was .24/kwh. Also charged at Chargpoint Plus yesterday and the rate was .28/kwh same as last year. Not sure why the rate increased by that large of amount in less than a year? Has Tesla announced...

With the cars HVAC set to manual mode AC OFF and climate control turned off when exiting the vehicle, is there anyway to turn on AC remotely from the phone app? When I turn on climate control via the app, it shows blue which I assumed meant AC was cooling the cabin; however, AC mode was not...

If we had an option to only charge the traction battery while the car was awake (usually this is because the 12V battery is being topped off) the awake overhead could be reduced. The 12V battery in my three year old Model 3 requires a top off about every 18 hours and the time to perform this...

Every time I have AC charged over the past three weeks, all charging sessions oscillate the amperage several times before normal charging begins. This happens using both the UMC2 and our vans charger (using the adapter) at many different locations plugged into both 120/240 circuits. Yesterday...

If Tesla were to share the Supercharger infrastructure with any EV company, Aptera would probably be a prime candidate. I think Elon recognizes potential cool EV tech when he sees it and they do not currently have competing models. As long as Aptera throws a bone Tesla's way to help build...

Follows are some stats from my Buddies 2019 AWD Long Range. Ambient Garage Temp 30F Cell Mid Temp before plugging in to charge 30.5F Wall charging capability 240V @ 26A or about 6.24KW Plugged in and of course no miles where added because the traction battery was to cold. 3.0KW to front and...

Most Tesla owners probably plug their cars in everyday as recommended by the manufacture and have never seen more than about 10 miles of phantom drain no matter how long the car may have been parked. Here is why. Unless things have changed, it is my understanding the charge level is topped off...

It is clear the US Tesla Destination chargers/wall connectors are AC only and I am 99% certain the current US Tesla Superchargers are DC only; however, the Superchargers could potentially be implemented to fall back to AC charging if something in the DC charging wherewithal was amiss. Do any...

While reading a Gmail email, I selected a Netflix link about new shows and it launched Netflix inside the Web browser. Now Netflix launches full screen when I select the web Browser and I can NOT browse any other internet sites. I effectively have a Netflix only web browser now! I had previously...

I received my replacement Gen 3 Wall Connector and unfortunately it appears to have the same problem. I can connect via the configuration SSID and get it on my home WiFi network. I can also select the proper circuit and display the summary which shows the IP address on my home network...
