Took 2017 MS in for service for Left Headlight staying on. I was told I needed to replace the Body Control Module (BCM). The part cost for BCM is $1075 and the labor is $228. Not sure if that is high or not but I am also being charged $480 for General Diagnosis. Is this normal? I assume...

3 weeks ago this Wednesday 11/20/2019 the City Inspection failed so could to move forward with the Interconnect to SCE. I understand these things happen and fully expect a quick fix to resolve the issue. But no, I have not hear from Tesla on how they plan to resolve this issue since it failed...

What is the recommend sequence to Power Off my Solar Inverters and the back on? Here is a youtube video that explains using SolarEdge but seem pretty clear.

I was told to install the Neo Gateway even though I have Power Walls and the Backup Gateway. Do I really need the Neo Gateway? Mainly I am trying to find in the Tesla App where is shows total kWh production from Solar for Daily/Weekly/Monthly etc. Under PERFORMANCE I just see percentages...

My installer left and my system is running. My app under CUSTOMIZE only shows Backup-only, Self-powered (selected) and Reserve for Power Outages (changed from 100% to 50%). This is an initial setup which he said we should leave running to test it. Any idea why it does not have the Advanced...

My Solar size is 12.285 kW. Est. Annual Production year 1 = 20095 kWh - "DC" My contract calls for 2 inverters. 3.8 + 7.6 = 11.4kw - "AC" I did not notice this until I was reviewing the SCE Interconnect Agreement which has 11.4kw. I ask why the SCE says 11.4kw but my Solar has a higher...

Tesla says to pick 1,2,3,4 size systems. I was looking at 8k and 12k (2,3). 8k is too little and 12k is too much. My guess is 10k is about right. But in the long run would 12k be too much? I will be getting 2 Powerwalls as well.

I have been using a 14-50 Plug on 50a Circuit for my S for the last 2 years. I just got a Model 3 and decided to put in 2x Load Balancing Wall Chargers on a 60a Circuit so I can charge at the same time. Max will be 48a. (removing 50a). I currently schedule charging between 10pm and 8am using...

I could not find this information on the Tesla Order Site. If I ordered a Powerwall today would I get the Powerwall 2? And if so what is the capacity? I read some time back that it went from 7.2kw to 14.4kw and the cost did not increase by double. Also, the inverter is part of the Powewall...

Has Tesla been building Mode 3's for Inventory for some time instead of to a customer order? When I got my Model S you could try and find a car in inventory OR you could order one built for you at the factory which is what I did. I am in the process of ordering a Model 3 and I first checked...

I read somewhere recently that when you pick up your car here your first step is to sign the papers and then they update your App and you go find you car on the lot. Is this true? When I got my S in Fremont I did sign my papers first and then I was taken into the delivery showroom for an...

My wife and I are test driving a Model 3 today. I already own a Model S and she will be getting the Model 3 is all goes well (which I expect will). My question is where on the order form do I put my Model S Referral Code. My history of Referral Codes is that if you do not use it at time of...

Advanced for me but curious what most here will pick.

I find that the reroute even set to maximum 30 minutes saving does not work. It suggest I get off the freeway when I know will not help me especially since I am in the car pool lane. Anyway, I turned it off. Then I see a message that I have no real time traffic data. Showing a icon that...

Driver using 10 / 2 hand positions before activating AP. Driver using 5 hand position after activating AP. Not sure if left hand is in 7 position or on her lap. Obviously she moved her hands from the 10 / 2 hand positions after activating AP. What do you think...

As far back as my Model S test drive in July 2017 I did not understand why I had to turn off the blinker after the car completes the auto lane change. Could it not simply turn off the blinker itself? The guy from Tesla on the test drive did not know or did not offer a good answer. Anyway, now...

I got my MS 75D on 9/28/17 and my Rated Range has been about 7 miles less the the published range of 259. I currently have 2000 miles. I read somewhere that you need to charge to 100% to help the battery get the FULL Rated Range but that did not help (done it a few times before a trip). When...

Under Privacy / Calendars it allows the Tesla App Access. Under Tesla App I have the following enabled: Calendars Background App Refresh Cellular Data The Tesla App is running Any ideas what could be wrong?

At 22 minutes into NBC Blindspot S3 E3 I Spotted a Tesla Model S being driven by Patterson. Blue with white interior and standard wheels. Interesting to see. However, the sound of the car seemed funny since normally it would be silent. I personally have the same car except I have black...

Almost done with the order process when came across the Maintenance Plan Options. Looks like you only save $100 by paying up front on the 3 year plan. So not much of a savings? Am I missing something? Also, since I work from home I do not put a lot of miles on my car. Maybe with the Tesla I...

Just ordered a Model S and what to installed a NEMA 14-50. But for convenience was thinking of having 2 installed. I have a 3 car garage. I need at least 1 put in the center of the garage next to where I will park my car. But I might move it or I might get a second TESLA some day. The...
