    Another thread on Mobile Connector or Wall Connector - 14-50 Outlet Question

    I do wonder about the wire - like, whether it’s only 40A rated wire, or if it’s 50A rated and they just went with a smaller breaker. If it was the latter I would consider having the breaker swapped out…but I haven’t been motivated enough to pull the outlet apart and look at the wire yet. :)

    Another thread on Mobile Connector or Wall Connector - 14-50 Outlet Question

    Similar, but different - my current house, for some reason, has a 40A breaker and a 14-50 outlet (this was installed by the builder, and is the same for all of the houses in my neighborhood). I have the old (from 2017) mobile connector, which can draw up to 40A, which would be too much for this...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    This unit supports charging two cars at once - I assume in this case the 350kW would be split between the cars?

    Cargo cover not as good as expected

    Hmm...there isn’t any part number that I can see. I did take a picture of the bottom of it, just for reference:

    FSD 10.69.25.2 - Driving in Snow

    I also live in CO, and I can picture exactly what you're talking about. A regular person would drive in the cleared part. But I would have a hard time saying FSD "should" straddle two lanes for a long period, barring something like construction cones or other actual physical blockages of a...

    Another thread on Mobile Connector or Wall Connector - 14-50 Outlet Question

    For sure. I've used a mobile connector every day for 6 years, with no issues. I have the older one that will charge at up to 40A, although I have the car set to use only 32A, as the full 40A seemed to make the cord and handle get pretty warm IIRC (and 32A has always been sufficient for what I've...

    Model Y Charging Options in a Townhouse

    This. If you filter for "J-1772" and "Tesla Destination" chargers in Plugshare, you'll get a good sense for how many L2 chargers are in your area, where they're located, and whether they might work out for you. As an example, in my neighborhood there is a free L2 charger at the local Target...

    MyQ quirk

    Apple Music "like" button

    Mine automatically continues playing sometimes, and other times it doesn’t. I haven’t yet figured out what the pattern is. One thing I _have_ noticed though, is in the case where it doesn’t restart, and says to select the audio source as you describe, sometimes I can just click the left button...

    Electrify America Complementary Session Check-in

    +1 for idle fees. It seems like EA's hardware and software is capable of doing it (since they try to scare you with those wallet-busting 0.00/min idle fees), so they just need to start charging them!

    Tesla almost left me stranded - again.

    I ran into a strange one yesterday; I was going north on I-25, and stopped in Trinidad, CO for a quick splash - I figured I would only need 10% or so. Plugged in, saw 251 kW, and went inside to the bathroom. When I came back out, it had already added around 20% (so I was now around 40% SOC), and...

    Tesla and MyQ

    Just to follow up - I hate to jinx it, but three days in a row this has been working for me. I have wifi now set to remain connected in Drive mode, so I pull the car just outside the garage, tap the "close" button, and the door immediately closes without any flashing/beeping drama. And I haven't...

    Wow - assuming your car can charge at 250kW, I think I’d be actively seeking out evgo stations!

    Tesla and MyQ

    I‘ve seen similar behavior lately - specifically the error for a few seconds, and then the beeping/flashing when it closes. I just switched my Wi-Fi to remain connected in Drive mode (after confirming the WiFi reaches to just outside the garage), so I’m going to try that to see if it helps with...

    Tesla and MyQ

    That's really strange. I have a Liftmaster, with non-wifi myQ built in, and a Home Bridge hub (the now-discontinued hub that would give you HomeKit integration), and I don't see this issue. The car always seems to correctly know the correct open/closed state of the door. I _have_ noticed that if...

    Tesla removing some automatic window features to comply with NHTSA regulations

    Just to be clear - they're saying you must press the brake to "start" the car before the window switches will work. You don't have to press the brake every time you use the window controls, just once when you start the car. Not saying I like it - but the line in the article about this was sort...

    Is there a way to get notified of new Super Chargers opening?

    You can follow @TeslaCharging on Twitter - they post new announcements. Not sure how quickly they post after a site comes online, but I would think it’s relatively soon…

    Trunk vs Frunk which is more secure in 2023

    Haha - for me, I took delivery of my first Tesla (model S) back in 2017, and back then everyone made a super big deal about exactly how to close it, and they would tell horror stories about what would happen if you didn't do it right. So, in like 5 years of ownership, I think I probably opened...

    Road Trip - Model Y

    TBH, I’ve never found a car forum (Tesla or otherwise) where this isn’t the suggestion. If you ask only people who are into their car enough to hang out on car forums, they’re all going to say hand wash your car every week (or more!). I have to believe normal people just wash their cars where...

    New Y. window goes back down with one touch close… broken?

    Mine did this twice during my delivery appointment. The first time, I noticed an open window, and I thought I must have just not clicked the button all the way to auto-up. The second time, I watched it go up all the way, then go back down like halfway or so. I got out, went to get the Tesla guy...

    Passenger window rolls down and up slightly when drivers door is shut.

    Has anyone noticed whether just opening the Tesla app on your phone (and waiting for it to wake up and update the interior and exterior temperatures) will trigger the windows moving down? So for example, if it's 50F when I park, then later the temperature drops to 35F, and I open the app at that...

    Automatic Turn Signal

    Makes sense. It might be cool if the feature could auto-disable if it can't see well enough, and revert back to the old behavior, perhaps with a quick popup message on the screen with a warning.

    IRS weighs in on tax rebate, mostly bad news for Model Y

    My guess is this is based on weight. The base Model Y is somewhere around 4420 lbs, and I would guess the 7-seat variant might be just over 4500 lbs (can't find the weight for the 7-seat specifically). Looking at others in the list: "SUV": Audi Q5 PHEV - 4619 lbs Chrysler Pacifica PHEV Minivan...

    Not disputing that you're running into an issue - however, I just wanted to clarify that it is possible to have a song in one of your Apple Music playlists, that is not in your Library.

    Are the Tesla All-Weather Mats compatible with 2023 models?

    Replying to my own post here, for others who might come later with the same question. The all weather mats on the Tesla site do indeed fit the 2023 Model Y as expected, no complaints at all! This is for the first and second row mats - I have the 5 seat config. And I did not try the front or rear...

    Model Y Base Auto Pilot?

    I think this is the ticket. I've noticed that if I just do the quick tap on the turn signal (the 3 flash method), then the auto steer fights you a little before it disengages. But if you hold it at the first detent, as you say, it's very smooth and the auto steer lets go very easily. My muscle...

    Help! Apple Music Login Issue

    This is more or less how it worked for me…very smooth with no issues. Do you maybe have multiple Apple IDs, and somehow signed into one that doesn’t have Apple Music? That’s the only thing that comes to mind off the top of my head…

    Are the Tesla All-Weather Mats compatible with 2023 models?

    Reviving an old thread here - but you said the front and 2nd row fit in the 2023, but then said overall they don't fit well. But you might have been referring to the cargo area when you said they don't fit well. Can you clarify this? Do the front and 2nd row mats fit well, or not so much? I...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    One thing I haven't seen mentioned lately here is, remember that the vast majority of cars will be paying per-minute or per-kWh to supercharge - so there's somewhat of a built-in disincentive to charge at the supercharger longer than necessary. Two caveats - 1. I'm assuming here that Model 3's...

    17.26.76 AP2 auto lane change behavior

    Some have been talking about the lane changes being way too abrupt, while others have said they're totally fine. I've found that in my car at least, it really depends on speed, and I'm thinking that might be the difference in the experiences people have posted. What I've found is at 80+ mph...

    FOR SALE: MODEL S 75D W/ ENHANCED V2 AUTOPILOT

    To be fair, you guys, the car as described is $90,300 new as of today before tax credits. So while his asking price may or may not be high, it's certainly not above the price of a new one today. Although it's very close to the new price if you factor in the federal tax credit. This is assuming...

    AP2 17.17.4 Autosteer on freeway max at 80mph?

    Do you both have the same speed limit warning value set? On my car, the AP limits to the speed limit plus this offset, at least on local roads. If I increase that limit, the AP will allow the higher speed.

    Destination chargers are mostly worthless

    I'm guessing the bulk of the comments you're referring to are due to the inflammatory title you chose for the topic. If you would have titled it e.g. "Destination chargers useful?" the tone here would have likely been completely different.

    Destination chargers are mostly worthless

    I thought Tesla would provide a HPWC, but you have to install it yourself. Are you saying they have declined to offer you a HPWC? Or you're trying to get them to do all the installation as well?
