    Direct from Solar PV to EV charging, possible?

    My Bluetti AC 500 directly accepts variable PV voltage to charge its BC300 battery. That is what lead me to this thread thinking, "Couldn't an EV have the same similar port? Would be way easy to string together several panels in series and plug em in (which is what I did for the Bluetti.) Is...

    Sentry Mode battery usage 7% per day

    Wham Bam Tesla cam has several instances of vandals and door dingers being caught by sentry cam with restitution taking place. Tesla should have an on screen warning similar to the "Charging your battery beyond the daily limit..." They could easily identify people who were leaving sentry cam on...

    German Court Orders Tesla to Stop Clearing Land at New Factory Site

    Do we think the embedded Deutschland auto industry is going to just welcome Tesla without exerting a bit of their political influence?

    Possible to charge one Tesla from another?

    Don't count on being able to be towed if your battery goes to zero. I went to zero, and quickly exited the freeway, knowing that there was a surface street with 4 miles of downhill that I was going to use to charge the battery. (I will interject that I had an extra mile to get home, but road...

    Saved by the Tesla cameras

    LOVE the truth that our cars are forcing to be told. We had similar situation where we would not have had adequate proof when an attorney driving allegedly uninsured, swiped our M3 this summer.

    The four cameras saved me $1000 and my driving record...

    Most dashcams are one angle through the front windscreen. Without all the angles that the M3 allows, many accidents will not be captured. We had similar area of or M3 hit. The cameras saved our good driving record as well. You will probably have to small claims court for diminished value...

    Mobile app 3.10.0, Homelink

    We have a M3 with full self driving and the homelink icon shows in the phone app. We also have a 2013 MS and there is no homelink icon for the same garage door. Both cars open and close the garage door just fine. As others have said it would be much nicer if the release notes stated...

    Executive Rear Seat Removal - Replacement parts needed?

    did you find instructions on how to remove the executive rear seat? I'm just interested in removing the backs. Do you know if they can be removed separately?

    Fremont delivery - car refused

    I'm not convinced that a different "experienced" person could have solved the M3 production issues. They are breaking new ground with new processes and new machines. I am impressed with what they have done and hope they keep the production numbers low until they have the line working...

    Why conceal your VIN?

    I think our Teslas are immune from the Vin scam for a few more years if not always due to their internet connectivity and Tesla's monitoring. Another minor red flag is if the car is from another state, and mileage needs to match up with carfax.

    2 weeks in

    I agree with everything justobuf says. We have an M3 since December 28th, as well as a 2013 S. The M3 is nimble and fast. We sold our volt once the M3 arrived. By comparison the dash of the M3 is relaxing. Its simplicity is calming and clean. Adjustment time to adopt to glancing to the right...

    Losing enthusiasm for Model 3

    Echoing... No supercharging network and the other reasonably priced alternatives don't have the sweet lines. Although, I will admit a really fun reaction to seeing the VW ID buzz... they might be available 2022, by then there will be half million M3's on the road, a model Y, and the semi trucks...

    Updated Supercharger Rates

    Chargepoint is charging 40 cents a KW! We still have a bargain. I wouldn't mind if Tesla charges more and help fund an even more rapidly expanding supercharging network.

    If you fast charge, Tesla will permanently throttle charging

    I know that there is a company in Los Angeles that is operating a car service, (according to the driver I met at an SC), with 7 model S's. She told me that they are not experiencing any throttling. The car she was driving had close to 80,000 miles and charges almost exclusively at SCs.

    Supercharger wait times as Model 3 numbers increase

    Anyone worried about charging their model 3 should look at the Tesla charging map and the number of new chargers that are scheduled to go in by end of this year. Then take a good look at the 40 station Kettleman charging station. This is the shape of things to come...

    Two Teslas, Two HPWCs? Better for 12Vs for Both to Stay Plugged In?

    We had to upgrade our 100 amp panel to 225 when we put in our 11kw solar system. The added cost to go to to 400amps was only the cost of the panel and breaker so we went to 400. Southern California Edison required us to also run a separate feed prior to the main 400 amp panel to supply the...

    Why does Model 3 charge at 32 amps and not 40 like my S?

    I'm confused. I thought Tesla hasn't made and "standard" battery M3s yet. Our M3 charges at 40amps. I also asked our delivery specialist if the charge cords were universal and he replied via email that all Tesla charge cords work with all Teslas.
