    Problems w/ Auto High-beam dimming and Cameras

    I almost wish more people were having this problem. I'm at the point where I'm going to call my local attn general and figure out what legal recourse I have. I love my S but this is getting ridiculous.

    Problems w/ Auto High-beam dimming and Cameras

    I have had this recurring problem w my Tesla Model S - on and off since I bought it new in December 2017. Sporadically, the car experiences two symptoms: The high-beams turn on automatically during the day - when it's bright and sunny and will stay on for anywhere from 30 seconds to a few...

    iPhone Music Auto Playing

    This definitely seems to be an iOS issue and not a Tesla issue as I've had it happen on a number of rental cars. I am hoping it gets resolved in a future update and also that the CarPlay off option works in the mean time.

    Driving to NYC (Brooklyn) from Boston for a few days...

    Hey there... I'm taking the fam to NYC next week for a few days for school vacation, etc. I was curious for any tips for charging, parking, Tesla friendly hotels, etc... I won't want to use the car when I'm there but want to make sure it's well cared for and charged up when we leave. Thanks...

    Tips for parking my S at an airport...

    Hey there... I need to fly out suddenly to the mid-west from Boston and was thinking I might park my car at the airport but I'm curious on what sort of tips you might have for leaving a car there and making sure it's still got power when I get back. I can charge it up before I leave and the...

    Is it bad to roll down a hill slowly to regen?

    Ahh thanks!

    Is it bad to roll down a hill slowly to regen?

    Ok, thanks... It just seems like the car is struggling to keep moving even though it's so steep - just wanted to make sure I wasn't causing undo stress. Thanks again!

    Is it bad to roll down a hill slowly to regen?

    This is probably a stupid question but... I live at the bottom of a very steep hill. The top of the hill is at a light and can usually coast down the hill (once I'm thru the light) very slowly in what I like to imagine is full regen mode. The S moves quite slowly - and I'm wondering is there...

    Cabin being kept warm overnight?

    I also did a TeslaFI.COM schedule to turn the HVAC off every 6 hours just in case. I've look at that minute level log but have not seen it on. I just signed up for TeslaFI myself - can you explain how to set up a schedule to turn off the HVAC? Also random thought... I wonder if TesaFI is...

    Cabin being kept warm overnight?

    Ok, so say that it is the battery / charging... the charging ended hours before this... if the cabin temperature is in fact at 70 or 61 or whatever, do I need to be concerned that something is drawing power when the charging is over?

    Cabin being kept warm overnight?

    So I've noticed something weird over the last couple of days... Both in the Tesla app and the Remote S app, it appears that my cabin temperature is higher than I'd expect for a car that's been in a 50-something degree (F) garage all night. I did turn off the smart pre-conditioning feature (I...

    Any value in varying charge rates on a daily/weekly basis (other than at 80%)...

    I've read a bunch and understand that for best long term battery life, it's best to not charge the Tesla past 80% on a regular basis... My question is if there's any value on charging to different %s - but under 80% - on a regular basis? Aka, I come home and plug it in and it stops at 80 -...

    Tell me why you love your dash cam?

    Thanks all for the tips on not getting ripped off. The installer was well reviewed but 4 hours of install time does seem really steep given what I'm reading here. I have reached out to some new installers that hopefully aren't so absurd. Thanks again.

    Oh this is super helpful! Thank you... I will keep my eyes open for this one and maybe delay it a little... Thanks again.

    Tell me why you love your dash cam?

    It's actually 900$ that he quoted and it did seem on the steep side though the installer has been very well rated on these and other forums saying top notch work while a bit pricey. I thought about venturing w/ some lower cost installer and will prob price that out as well and also maybe see if...

    Tell me why you love your dash cam?

    Hey there... Just got my Model S two weeks ago - after having driving my Toyota Highlander Hybrid for over 12 years and 164k+ miles... Let's just say as a tech nerd - I was pretty excited about all the new technology offered - especially in comparison to a car/suv that felt outdated when I...
