I wanted to share some recent esoterica about the charging port locking modes of Model S, and describe a very rare but possible situation and how to work around it. The summary is: if your charge port ever fails to unlock, make sure that the shore power level is reduced below ~5-7A. In nearly...

This is a recall alert on the Power12 CapturePro - Please read and understand this alert. The Power12 CapturePro device you purchased has a flaw which could, in very limited circumstances, strand you at a charging station. Power12 recommends ending its use and destroying it. Summary As...

I have noticed a change in charge port lock (locking pin) operation from my recent experiences, and wondered: a) did anyone else notice ? b) if anyone with 4.4 or even older software could check a few of these operations for me to validate my concerns The previous experience I...

I just want to know if this is something going out to everyone or if I've been selected. I'm happy to provide honest but positive feedback, but wondered if anyone else has gotten one, now or in the past.

Here's a question that's come up many times, but with no answer so far: will Tesla or a third-party produce a scale-model of the Model S? Obviously it takes Tesla and a producer to believe these models would sell - for those of us that would pay for a model, what would you want and what...

Hi all, I want to see the bulb inside my side marker lights...I'd like to maybe change them to a brighter yellow (legal), or maybe cheat a bit and go with a blue/blue-white color. Forget about telling me I'm an idiot (as I hear that enough), and tell me if you've ever popped it out and if...

You old timers here have lots of experience with charging circumstances and interactions with other charger users, so you could give me some help. I have a draft version of a 'contact card' to be attached to the Model S J1772 converter, alone or in combination with a charging lock. The...

We've developed a special add-on 'lock' that prevents your car from being disconnected from J1772 public infrastructure chargers (like Chargepoint, Blink, etc.) - it locks the charger to your car until you unlock it, preventing malicious or random disconnections that could leave you stranded...

For those of you who may not be paying attention to the Texas subforum, please come have a look at the Texas Tesla Legislation thread... it's important to improve Tesla's position in Texas. Have a read...

I've been working on the problem of J-1772 chargers being unplugged randomly during charging (either to 'borrow' an existing Chargepoint/Blink charge session, or simple removal whether malicious or innocent). The lock mechanism built into the Tesla charging wand and J-1772 converter imply the...

I've written a 'hand-out' postcard to give to folks who stop me on the street. Can I get some review of this card, and some feedback? David

Does anyone here have experience adding a wheel lock brand to their Model S? I have the 21" wheels and I'm concerned about their security. :crying: I found Gorilla Guard brand that looked reasonable, and even though they state that the pair of nuts and tool are coded and different from...

Hey all - thanks in advance for any help you can give. I have a two-car garage, with a new 14-50 installation on the right wall (facing in, as reference). The S will go into the right position, but of course the cord will be extended from the 'wrong' side over to the driver side. I'm concerned...

AFAIK no one with 60kWH model S has yet gotten a detailed delivery notice or a 'finalize your delivery' email. Who will be first? I suggest that us 60-ers be ready to report the first known delivery notice email, verbal commit, or Tesla website 'finalize' button here. As we've discussed in...

Perhaps, but I think that they won't even think of the 60s before the end of the year, even if everything was approved. Here's why: anything different might slow the factory, and they want to blow their delivery estimate for the end of the year out of the water - therefore reduce the risk, and...

Sounds silly maybe, but I'd like to know what the light patterns are on the tailights for braking, turning, and night driving. Actually it would be great to know: no headlights brakes off no blinker * presumably no light no headlights brakes on no...

Hey timdorr: are all the current flurry of new emails and on-line deliver dates for P's just for 85KWh models? Does it look to you like they are skipping lower reservation #s with 60 and 40 KWh packs? It looks that way, as I cant see one person getting the beloved 'email' with anything but...

This might be an interesting experiment - plug in a USB wifi adapter, then reset the dash computer? You could compare a network speed web site response before and after? I ask because some linuxes come with all the autodetecting drivers built-in, and it might just work off the rack... you'd...

Hey, everyone in Texas! Please help us keep track of where you are, and where Texas ranks in the WW Owners list, by placing yourself in the 'pin' map. Let's represennnnnnt! :cool: David

You know... nap position? :redface:

Supercharging in Texas Looks like Superchargers will show up sometime halfway between Austin, Houston and Dallas.
