    EAP Class Action Settlement 7-26-18

    Plaintiffs should be required to run a petition for a meaningful percentage of class participants before these things are authorized.

    Charge Speed Reduced, unplug and try again

    Same problem here with a M3-Dual from late 2018. Service appointment is in a few days. The mobile charger doesn't work at all and the HPWC only charges at 14A out of 48A. Not the end of the world based on how we use this car, but we found out the hard way the mobile charger didn't work when we...

    Dolby Surround Sound keeps turning Dolby Surround Sound

    Congrats and welcome! Premium Upgrades Package was a separate line item from Ultra High Fidelity Sound when I bought mine. If equipped, you'll find that setting in the sound options page. Otherwise, I believe you'll have a storage nook in your trunk behind the right rear tail light if you have...

    Dolby Surround Sound keeps turning Dolby Surround Sound

    I think the feature is reset every time it goes into deep sleep. If so, I would hope it's an easy fix. Has everyone else reported the bug? If not, let's be the squeaky wheel and get them.to fix it.

    A sales path for X -> Y?

    I love our X, but it is a bit more vehicle than we need. The Y will be a good option right around the time our X turns 5, but I'm concerned about it being a downgrade on creature comforts. The first look last night suggested the Y will be on the same spartan trim level as the 3. Is there any...

    Blog SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Capsule Returns to Earth

    I thought those chutes were going to tie themselves in a knot on the way down. I hope the grumpy folks in NASA and other agencies don't get all twisted up over it!

    Standard Range Model 3 Now Available for $35,000

    This is only a medium range tactic to enable the $35K m3 and shake those pesky naysayers, shorts, board members, and SEC haters. I fully expect to see a return to retail down the road.

    Range: --- mi

    When I spoke to Tesla, the rep said he was getting all question marks for the figures but could see it was semi-awake. He said he hadn't seen this before. The computers took about eight minutes and several reboots to fully wake up. I fure it had gone into some sort of super deep sleep after a...

    I'm away on vacation and checked in on my X (plugged in at long-term parking) and found the pic below. Anyone seen this before and know what it means?

    Spoiler brake light only works sometimes

    It's a real understatement to say the spoiler light is not user serviceable. They didn't do a great job of designing this part for repairs. I had a loaner for an entire month while they ordered a new spoiler, had it painted, then finally installed it. They said nothing about removing the glass...

    Spoiler brake light only works sometimes

    It's an amazing bit of self-awareness for the X. My experiences with Tesla since getting this fixed tell me they're happy waiting for you to take initiative to fix if it's non-critical.

    Dolby Surround Sound keeps turning Dolby Surround Sound

    The Dolby Sound option of my 2017 X keeps turning off each time my car powers off. The feature works fine while turned on. It's strange that a feature that I spent a chunk of change to upgrade keeps getting disabled. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a sign of some problem?

    Petition to demand "camera on top, media player on bottom" be retained in UI

    Okay, got the trick in the video to work. The problem is that the only valid combo is Maps then Music then one other app. Not great, but could be occasionally handy for me.

    EAP Class Action Settlement 7-26-18

    That is true for FSD, but not so for EAP. I've been using EAP features since the first version of autosteer was released a month after I got my X. I don't see what the hubbub is about here. I got exactly what I expected and I'm happy with it. They are also still within the letter of what they...

    New owner, what accessories

    Dash cam is essential. Front and rear if you can. If you have the 6/7 seater, get a small squishy stress ball to put in the pocket the 3rd row belt buckles drop into. This will lift the buckles and aid tiny hands to buckle quickly, yet squish out of the way when you fold the seat down. Keep a...

    Model X: Average Wh/mile Tracker

    X75D 364 "whammy" over 12,500 miles since delivery a year ago Seattle area 20" tires. Mostly 50-60 degree weather. Balanced hwy in heavy traffic and surface streets. I probably punch it on average once per day.

    Tool Balancer: My new favorite home charger hack

    Hahah, yeah that was about the burliest conduit we could find. Technically there's enough room in there to run a second 60A circuit, though I don't think we'll ever need it even after the 3 arrives.

    Tool Balancer: My new favorite home charger hack

    You know how gas pumps have that retracting cord that keeps the hose off the ground? I bought a tool balancer and made the same thing for my wall charger. I'm really happy with the results would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a more organized charger area or needs to charge more...

    Tesla and Spotify

    I'm inclined to think this is something they're blocked on until the linux kernel gets updated. That's why the browser is so ancient. IIRC, the current kernel was written by Barney Rubble.

    Yes, thank goodness. Count me as one of them. I was planning to disable the feature it was so annoying.

    New "Chill / Normal" acceleration modes?

    I got chill and uncorked on the same day, and I love them both so very much. I intend to use chill whenever the spouse or dog are in the car. The kids share my love for the acceleration.

    Hooray! Got to use my tow hitch.

    One evening, my wife runs in to tell me her dad parked his ICE SUV in the ditch in front of our house. Oops. One wheel was in the air and the opposite one had no traction, so even with AWD and a limited slip differential, this vehicle was going nowhere. I'd never bothered to install the tow...

    Got .46 today while uncorking and other service. I was on .42 when I took it in yesterday. The reason nobody on TeslaFi had it until just a few hours ago was that Tesla changed the API and data wasn't fetched for a couple hours. Same release notes as 44 as far as I can see:

    Blog Fisker’s Battery Breakthrough Claim: 500 Miles Range, 1-Minute Charging

    Okay, so can we talk about charging a 500 mi car in 1 minute? Let's say this vehicle is basically a scaled up Nissan Leaf. Best case scenario, that means it will need a 150kWh battery to go 500mi. My Model X is about 66% efficient at charging, so if I had that size battery and wanted to charge...

    2017.44 02fdc86

    Well, I don't really *need* the entry/exit assist, but I do like that it will act as a reset for seat position. My X has an odd habit of leaving one or more customized seat positions in some other location if someone has been playing with them or using easy entry in the back. Looking forward to...

    USB-C connector for premium front console - no plans to release

    Possible Supercharger Phishing Attack?

    Sounds like you're likely to get passed over in favor of the next mark who wasn't as reserved! Being the harder target is a decent defense strategy in a herd (of potential Teslas to steal). It feels like that old phrase "don't take any wooden nickels" should be updated to "don't use any public...

    Possible Supercharger Phishing Attack?

    SMS 2FA is mediocre at best. If someone was targeting you specifically (to, say, steal your $100K car) they wouldn't have to work hard to figure out your cell number and likely answers to your most common security questions. Then they just call your cel provider (not hard to figure out either)...

    Possible Supercharger Phishing Attack?

    Yes, it's phishing. Remember, with those credentials you can steal the car. All a thief has to do is set up a Wifi Pineapple with a TracPhone for internet access and harvest digital keys to peoples' cars. Then they can just drive it into a box truck or chop shop. By the time you come back from...

    My Tesla taught my 4 year old to say f***

    It happened so quickly. One minute I left my little angel in the safety of my X and the next I came back to a preschooler cheerfully swearing like George Carlin. Here's how it happened: I was getting ready to get out for a quick task. I set the A/C and my little girl asked "Daddy, please play...

    Anyone here total their X?

    Wow, both of you had really similar looking damage. I had assumed that a high speed rear-ending couldn't cost more than $20K. I'll be adding the better car option for peace of mind. Seems well worth the price of a couple lattes. If I get wrecked, I'll totally get a 90D.

    Anyone here total their X?

    I'm updating my insurance and am contemplating the Better Car Replacement offering. It's a trivial cost at only $9/mo but it got me wondering if it's even worth it at that price. I haven't seen any threads in the X forum or word of mouth.

    New Update 2017.28 c528869

    Just got this from a SC visit. Didn't handle a highway interchange with as much authority as before. Lane change seems less jerky. Steering corrections are smaller and more rapid. Overall looks like a good update on my X.

    That's a different way to mount the front plate

    Parked next to another X that had a unique solution to the mandatory front plate rule in WA. It's a sticker that is an excellent reproduction of the normal metal plate. Seems counterproductive if your goal is to not modify the number, but I suppose that wasn't their plan. Anyone else seen this?

    17.26.76 New Update

    It's true, and that's why in this case terminology is significant. Autopilot behaves very much like real autopilot on an airplane. The pilot is always responsible to fly the airplane and execute changes. When I show people AP but they were expecting a robot chauffeur, I like to point out that...
