Selling (I think, 97% sure) my Sept 2017 build (HW2.5) 75D. 19,200 miles Tesla OEM Carbon Fiber rear spoiler Tesla OEM Carbon Fiber dash trim XPEL PPF for front hood + bumper + mirrors Full chrome delete (all black except logo which is white) Full car ceramic treatment WeatherTech Mats in Trunk...

Car "bricked" in my garage. Had to be towed out. MCU would not come on. Car would not go into D R or N. No reset approach worked. Tesla had roadside service tow car. This is a Friday. Friday: no communication from Tesla, as emergency roadside assistance said I would get (confirming receipt at...

Is it possible to disable the key fob button that opens the rear trunk / tailgate? I now have a metal structure above my car and am afraid if the trunk is accidentally opened (has happened a couple times over the years when the key is in my pocket) it'll open into the metal and shatter the glass.

Mildly Interesting: As I patiently waited for v9 (got it today woohoo) I pulled the number of days of spent on each software version since I started collecting data in March. Results below. About an average of a month per version which a high of 52 days and a low of 16. (First version data is...

I am driving cross country in mid-October, Mid-Atlantic to Pacific Northwest. Tesla mapping sends me up past Chicago, into South Dakota, then through Montana and Idaho. Any insight on whether I should use my OEM 21" turbines or my winter set? One consideration would be weather, I welcome any...

I am considering doing a cross country trip this fall from the mid-atlantic region out to the pacific northwest. I looked at the route suggested by Tesla, but I am wondering whether anyone has recommendations for hotels (e.g., with destination chargers) or places not to miss along the way. Also...

I am nearing a year of ownership and my (driver) floor mat no longer sticks to the velcro sewn into the floor. Therefore, the mat tends to slide and bunch up around the pedals. No bueno. I have Weathertech in the trunk and frunk but don't like the aesthetic in the cabin. Anyone have a solution...

I wrote a Google Script to pull data from my MS (75D) every hour (using the API) and dump it into a Google Sheet. Of course that makes charting really simple. Finally got around to playing with the data and thought it was mildly interesting, enough so to share. Takeaways: max range does...

Is there a place to view how much energy I've consumed from Superchargers? I am in the free supercharging program, but Tesla must meter it because they bill other folks, right? Curious because I am calculating how much it costs to drive my MS. At 5000mi I have used about $187 of electricity...

I thought it was mildly interesting that AP could effectively ignore the second set of dashed lines through this construction zone.

I am having a hell of a time getting rated range on my 2017 75D (21" wheels). I took delivery last September and have since put on 3,580 miles with an average Wh/mi of 338, nearly 13% off the rated value of 300 Wh/mi. That turns my 259 miles of rated range into ~225mi. This is a problem for a...

I am traveling and my car has become unresponsive. The app doesn't work, the API returns nil values, and according to my home network the car hasn't sent/received data in 2 days. Am guessing I am another 2018.6.1 victim as I recently got on this version and have never seen this issue. I assume...

Today I got into my car and both the IC and MCU were dead. Blank. Nothing. I have no idea what combination of button and pedal presses woke them up but about 90 seconds later the IC came to life and a bit later the MCU did. Car got me to where I was going. The very next time I got in the car...

Has anyone dealt with this noise before - noise 17c on this website: https://teslatap.com/articles/sounds-of-tesla-vehicles/ My car sounds exactly the same. I would call it a clunking, sounds like it's coming from underneath-front of the car. Curious whether the description on that site is...

Finally got to see a Model 3 today. Three of them actually (here's a white one: https://i.imgur.com/GiRsVPz.jpg). Later when I was looking through the few pictures I took I realized I captured a Roaster, S and 3 lined up. Past, present, future. Cool! Here are some quick impressions, only adding...

The new "brine" solution they are putting on the roads is awful smelling. Regardless of the smell, and like salt, I am anxious to get it off my car because it of its corrosive nature. This is my first Tesla, or EV with a battery pack in the floor pan. I've always considered getting this...

Is there any official statement or unofficial assessment on what impact the rear spoiler has on range, if any? My assumption is that greater downforce equals greater friction equals less range. I like the aesthetics, but don't need the additional downforce. :) Probably won't get it if the...

I am not sure if there are 1,000 threads that already cover this, but figured I'd share a picture of the OEM 21s and Tsportline 20s for those in the future who are considering the later for a winter setup. I think it's close enough! BTW, I find the offset, especially on the front...

My car is a September 2017 build, end of September delivery, which from the TMC threads I read on HW2.5 should have meant my car has the updated version. However, poking around on TeslaFi and it appears my car is HW2. This was a bit of a shock. Are the last 6 of VINs sequential? If so, it...

Link: TeslaFi.com Privacy Policy As far as I can tell, TeslaFi's privacy policy doesn't mention anything about the data ingested from the vehicle and subsequently stored on TeslaFi servers. Obviously, this data is PII and highly sensitive - where you live, where you work, other places you...

Was merging on the freeway and the "air suspension needs service" message came on my IC. Car is 3 weeks old. Just called the service center and they told me the next available appointment is November 6th! I couldn't believe they'd recommend driving on some unknown problem for 2+ weeks. WTF. I...

Version: 2017.42 a88c8d5 Car is a Sept 2017 build 75D. Release notes in image. First time I sat through an update. Wild! All sort of clicks, humming, fans spinning up (the APE fans are LOUD at full blast) and power cycles. Also I swear I hear a HDD spinning. I can’t imagine Tesla isn’t...

Just took delivery of my MS. The hood/fender has an alignment problem. I know I am not the first to have this, so please forgive the beating of a very dead horse. My specific question is whether anyone has has an alignment issue like this and whether there is a simple fix? I am due to have the...
