    How to tell if my Model 3 was made in the tent

    Some info on the wheel wall, and other location of missing plugs. Per a Tesla contact the missing plugs were deemed not needed; It was considered over kill. We didn’t get deep into to it but there a number of places that they’ve this type of decision. As they go through their inventory you will...

    How to tell if my Model 3 was made in the tent

    Back in 1971 Arthur Hailey wrote a book call “Wheels” on the auto industry. In the book he discussed the dreaded Monday or Friday builds. Saying you don’t want a car built on Monday’s or Friday’s because of poor quality issues due to employees calling out, or just not really doing their jobs...

    I hope Tesla Lowers the Supercharging Rates

    Let’s discuss what Tesla is primarily about: altenitive energy. Yes, gas prices are a part of what many consider when buying a Tesla, but helping the environment is the other. Trust me, as electric vehicles increase charging prices will also increase. We live in a profit driven economy. I doubt...

    Blackvue 900 2ch Questions

    it's not the WiFi that's the issue. its the parking mode and how it's hooked up. once Tesla figured out it was the BlackVue and that the parking mode was running 72 hours it made sense. I'm currently in test mode at 12 hours to see if that will fix it. fingers crossed..

    Blackvue 900 2ch Questions

    it doesn't seem to be as big of an issue with the S, even though a friend just had an issue just recently. it seems that if you have an S or X Tesla Tap recommends not using BlackVue's Pro connector, rather connect directly to battery. when mine's working i don't need a hotspot. it appeared to...

    Blackvue 900 2ch Questions

    Not going to answer the WiFi question, but Racerx22b; you may well have killed your battery. I have gone through 4 12V batteries. I had my 900s installed in July of this year. Late August I had a pop up saying that my 12V battery needed service to replace the battery soon. Took the car in to...

    Landlord won't let me charge, says I need a permit for the 125v portable charger?

    Reading this thread a couple of things.. I own my townhome, but with HOAs it’s almost like having a landlord. I went through some negotiations with my HOA to have a charging station installed in my assigned parking space. I live in Northern Virginia, so there could be some minor differences...

    The way this is looking, and considering other forms has anyone considered letting the mall know that, if all show up at the same time, there could be a pretty good crowd. We wouldn’t want the mall security freaking out.

    Did anyone catch the signage? It appears that we will be seeing ICEing. Not sure, if someone does please post, if all the SCs are 30 min “general” parking. As I understand it general parking is open to all cars including ICE. The Town Center is usually packed with weekends being insane. So it...

    Supercharger - Springfield, VA

    Late last year they had a cone over by the Fairfax Government Center in the small mall with Ruth Chris, but it’s gone now. They may have decided it made more sense to drop one in the mixing bowl. It would be nice if they dropped one over by 66 and 495.

    I’m still waiting on my M3. Configured on 04.13 but as of this post haven’t received a call or been assigned a VIN. But, when I do get it I don’t have a garage in my townhome community. Currently I have requested putting in a charging unit, and am still waiting to get a response. While I hope I...

    Hypermiling records?

    If you did watch the whole vid he did point out his mods and that they may have had a major impact on the mileage.. but, it still gives you a look. He did hit a high 200 but was still pretty far out of Vegas. Considering all the potential impacts on mileage like climate, elevation, speed, etc. I...

    no drill license plate holders

    NTSB Wants Information on Tesla Autopilot Accident

    Dashcam Feature Coming Soon

    jsmay good response. Dash cams are more then helpful they could also reduce your insurance. Witnesses aren't always a good source of what exactly happened in an accident, a video would much better. I've also noted that dash cams are pretty common in Europe.

    We Don't Need No Stinking Badges

    Tesla can increase the kw by softwear push. They did it with the S70, you could pay $3+k and get a 75 even though your car still was badged as a 70. If I understand you will still be badged as a S, X, 3, or when it shows up Y.
