    Important to remove totaled car (now in Ukraine) from Tesla account?

    This seems like the popular forum for "is it totaled" type accident threads, but that's not my question. My Model S was indeed totaled about 7 months ago by a drunk driver, and last time I saw it was at the insurance auction yard, to retrieve my personal belongings. I believe the 12V was...

    PG&E and HAN (Zigbee) devices recently?

    Hey, wondering if anyone in PG&E territory the past few years has successfully connected up a Zigbee energy monitoring device via their Home Area Network (HAN) program? This is the one where a Zigbee energy monitoring device is paired up directly to the SmartMeter, and then can send that data...

    PG&E EPSS and generator options

    TIL via an e-mail from PG&E that there is such an area called Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS), and that I live in one. These are adjacent to PSPS high fire risk areas, which I'm not in but close to within a half-mile. By the rough EPSS map for Santa Clara County, I'm just inside the...

    Help identifying underbody trim pieces?

    Hey all, my 2016.5 Model S is at about the 6 year mark, and everything has been relatively good two years out of warranty. Recently however, I would occasionally hear a scraping sound, when going forward or reverse, even when slowly, but would often disappear when going faster. It turns out to...

    Whole house backup possible with one Powerwall?

    I have an existing 4kw micro-inverter system, but just put in to Tesla for a 4.8kw system plus one Powerwall (one is all I really need for either load-shifting or backup). I know the general parameters in this forum are that one needs at least two Powerwalls, even three, for whole-house backup...

    Phone Bluetooth: "Connected to Tesla Model S"

    Wondering if folks can help me figure out a strange behavior that my Tesla is causing on my smartphone... my phone has a low-power OLED always-on lock screen that I've set to display the time, date and a few other useful items when the phone is locked and idle. Over the course of last night...

    WTB: Silver cover plate for 1st gen HPWC

    Anyone have a non-working 1st generation HPWC just sitting around for parts? I'm looking for a clean, undented cover plate (the silver) part and screws - must have ribbon connector intact. Prefer local pick-up around SF bay area.

    Aero cover popping loose?

    Anyone else have an aero cover that comes loose? The driver front cover keeps popping out on just one of the five sectors, I think always opposite the stem valve. It's like someone pulled it out about 1.5 inches, but otherwise feels firmly in place. I don't worry it'll come off while driving...

    Dashboard screen shipped with transparent film?

    I took delivery of my Model 3 last week and it's been great. Haven't had any major issues, but noticed a couple of things about the center screen. When driving the car, the screen looks gorgeous in general, but when the sun is coming in at a low sharp angle from behind, there's a reflection...

    Lienholder on trade-in?

    Waiting in an interminable line at DMV right now, thought I'd see if anyone could answer and save me time. Delivery targeted for less than 7 days from now. Planing to trade in current car, which was paid off years ago. Apparently I got the title with lienholder release signature, but filed it...

    The two-Tesla charging cable conundrum

    OK, with my Model 3 on order, I still haven't seen a discussion on this topic so will post it. I realize this is not unique to the Model 3, but can come up with any two Tesla's or EV's for that matter, but is certainly going to come up more with widespread Model 3 sales... the question is...

    No sales tax on EAP upgrade online in Cali?

    Can anyone in California who has AP2 hardware but not EAP verify that Tesla does NOT charge sales tax on software-only upgrades? I've heard speculation either way, but it would be nice to see a screenshot of the checkout screen verifying this. I understand sales tax IS charged for battery...

    Tint recommendations for seamless roof look?

    I've had my metallic black Model S for a bit over a month now and really enjoying it. I really liked the nearly seamless look of the all-glass roof on the Model S as well as on the Model 3; however, since I purchased an inventory vehicle I had no choice but the pano roof that came already...

    Odd scheduled charging behavior

    Fairly new Model S owner here just for a few weeks. Since we don't drive too many miles, I've only charged a few times (about once a week). Saw some weird behavior with scheduled charging yesterday. Last night I plugged in the UMC around 7 pm. I verified in the charging screen that charging...
