    Why is my model Y interior all carpet?

    I have one of the first production MYs from early 2020 and the wheel well area near the side of the back seats is plastic only. The area squeaks a lot when driving because it rubs against the lower side of the rear seats. I believe that is the reason the area is now covered with carpet. I am...

    My 11.2kW Tesla Solar Project - Portland, OR

    @pdx_m3s did they have you log onto the gateway’s network and troubleshoot? Also, did you try resetting it with a pencil? I had the same issue and resetting the gateway fixed it. For some reason the WiFi got disabled with our smart meter swap.

    When to make payment?

    Wow. We got our new meter Monday and are still waiting on PTO. Hopefully today or tomorrow.

    When to make payment?

    They sent us the final bill right after the county inspection. Still waiting on PTO, but they did send everything over to the utility and we are waiting on them now.

    @pdx_m3s We are a MCU1 car. I dread the day the eMMC fails.

    2020.36

    We just installed 2020.36.16 on our X last night. Unfortunately, it deleted our profiles and disabled mobile access. The menu isn’t letting us add driver profiles back and the screen won’t display all menus. On a positive note, we got our temperature display back again after it was dashes for...

    Steps after Installation

    An update. Tesla is a bit slow in getting the paperwork over to the utility and said it may be another week or two. Now that I’ve paid, I’m not sure how much incentive Tesla has to move. The utility has been very responsive and is also just waiting on Tesla.

    Steps after Installation

    I received the invoice about two hours after my electrical inspection was completed by the county. I was speaking with the inspection scheduler and texted her a picture of the completed inspection sticker. My bank account was already linked somehow so it only took one click to pay. Now we are...

    Powerwall Location Options

    We had day one of install today. They were able to put or Powerwalls in our utility room even though it isn’t right next to our main panel. It was no issue. I’ll take some pictures later and share.

    I also got a call today asking if I was around in the morning to begin our install. We were set for Monday and Tuesday. Now, Sat/Mon/Tues. They said it was because it is a complicated job. We ordered a large system with 2 PW. Panels are on two roof areas.

    Powerwall Location Options

    Is there an allowance to have the powerwalls not right next to the meter? Our meter is in a bedroom in the basement and I have been trying to get Tesla to look at installing the powerwalls in our utility room about 30-40 feet from the meter instead. Over the last three months, the only...

    Curious about your experience with Tesla Energy

    My experience has also been negative. It’s been tough to get a hold of anyone and the take it or leave it attitude is pervasive.

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    Anyone run into an issue where the powerwalls had to be in a different room than the main electrical panel? Our home has the panel in a cabinet in a basement bedroom. There is an unfinished utility room nearby that has space for power walls and whatever other electrical equipment. Due to...

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    Here is my proposed system with the picture oriented north. We could actually use something larger, but have lots of trees around us and I am concerned about shading. During the summer, we get lots of sun, though the southeast five panels don't get sun until around 10 am. I am more concerned...

    Pulling the trigger on Tesla Solar Panels (Maryland)

    I came to the same conclusion as you as far as the EV/TOU rate goes. The peak rate obliterates any savings from the lower EV portion. The standard R rate isn't terribly high and we don't have to worry about when we run the A/C. I've got two of the V3 Wall Connectors, but BGE doesn't play nice...

    Pulling the trigger on Tesla Solar Panels (Maryland)

    We were thinking of getting Tesla Solar and Powerwalls installed in MD as well. Our electric company is BGE and from what I can tell on their site, if you have Net Metering, you are not eligible for TOU. Here is the quote from their FAQ: "ALL BGE rates are eligible for net metering with the...

    How old is the roof you are replacing? How much did that factor in your decision to get the Solar Roof vs Solar Panels?

    Model X gull wing door roof window crack

    I had my car shipped and it was damaged underway. It’s going to the service center tomorrow. Estimate is around $1,100 for the widow replacement but it also looks like the paint was damaged.

    Family man finding the S a little too tight. Is the X significantly better with kids?

    The X is much better for families than the S. We've had the X for a couple of years now with three young kids and three carseats. We put them all in the middle row. The FWDs make it so easy to get the kids in and out of the car and also buckle the kid in the middle car seat while standing...

    Anyone considering delaying their purchase due to Market Downturn related to Corona virus?

    When it comes to it, I will do the same. Originally, at 3.5%, I was going to pay cash. Now, it is loan time. My X was sold on a .99% rate when I bought it in 2017.

    Anyone considering delaying their purchase due to Market Downturn related to Corona virus?

    Thanks wiparker824. I hadn't been closely following each quarter to see how they distribute and concentrate. Maybe they will have a June sale with promotional interest rates or something and I can grab an inventory one.

    Anyone considering delaying their purchase due to Market Downturn related to Corona virus?

    Happy MX owner here. My plan was to buy a Model 3 this June while holding on to the X. We are also in the process of buying a house. On Monday, I ordered Tesla Solar Panels and some Powerwalls for the new house. Between the house downpayment, the new Model 3, and the Panels and PWs, we were...

    Brief “Unable to Charge” warning

    I get the same thing no matter where I plug in to charge. Either, "Unable to charge" or "AC charging Interrupted". I also recently saw, "Charge speed reduced"

    Model Y Ordered

    I’ve considered it, but may just get a 3 instead since we already have an X. Though the price difference between the 3 and Y has closed significantly. Likely purchase in the summer. Edit to add that we don’t need the 7 seater due to the X. I wonder how they will make that third row useful.

    Home Charging setup

    I get about 5mph with a 5-20 adapter on 120V. It works out to 117V*16A = 1872W. This is about 468 Watts, or 1mph, more than I would get with the standard 5-15.

    A/C Compressor Noise

    Very. It increases in pitch as the system ramps up. It is loud enough to drown out the normal AC sound and be heard clearly inside the car or in the house. Prior to this, you could hear the AC running, but it had sounded just like a loud fan. This is a much more obnoxious noise.

    A/C Compressor Noise

    Checking in with my 2017 Model X. Started getting a loud, high-pitched whine with the A/C a couple of weeks ago. We live in Hawaii and use it daily. This sound is very high-pitched and different than the standard A/C sound. I recorded a video and the SC ordered the compressor based on that...

    MX NOT turning on, doors won’t open, can’t get in!!

    We had the same problem on our 2017. After 21 months of ownership, plugged in every night, and 16,000 miles, it died completely while we were at the store just as you described. 12V battery.

    Thanks for the follow-up. For now, the factory reset is more than I want to deal with. Fingers crossed for a fix in 16.3+

    Dashcam icon shows 'x' with or without usb flash drive inserted

    Thanks for the update. I've been without Dashcam since 16.2 as well. It did work randomly for one drive. We also had the issue where our consumption over the last 5/15/30 miles froze. I've tried resets and formatting, but have not gone with the factory reset yet.

    Any have the rear load floor support break? (cargo cover support)

    Official weight limit on the cover is 175 lbs. Originally Tesla was going to charge me, but I believe they goodwilled it when I had something else fixed. They definitely did not design and build that part to withstand the forces it needs to withstand.

    Any have the rear load floor support break? (cargo cover support)

    Thank you so much for your reply! Looking at the way it broke and my personal experience trying to glue broken things back together, I called the Service Center. We are waiting on the part to come in now.

    Any have the rear load floor support break? (cargo cover support)

    The other day we opened the trunk and saw one of the two supports for the rear cargo cover was broken. Has this happened to anyone else? We typically only have about 30-50 lbs of stuff back there. Any idea what the repair might cost? It looks like the right cladding needs to be removed and...

    My theory why the S/X will never get sentry mode

    The updates for the S/X have definitely trickled off. It does disincentivize me buying another flagship and going instead for the 3 or Y when the time comes. I do love my X though.
