    Poll on V11 interface

    Many good features. But missing the odometer/trip meter cards and hoping someone comes up with a phone app replacement.

    98 Score - Got FSD Beta?

    Hit 99 over the last day or so, after weeks on 98, but still no 10.5 beta access. Very frustrating.

    New Jeda Console Tray

    Has anyone tried fitting the Jeda tray into an armrest tray? I like to keep tissues in the center console, and given the limited usb power for the earlier models I was thinking that it would be far better under the armrest using the 12v power supply. Unfortunately the geometry/fit is not given...

    No way to get to Carlsbad Caverns?

    Some not-widely publicized options in NM, if you don't mind camping (with $14-$18/night fee): https://www.blm.gov/visit/valley-of-fires http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/SPD/BrantleyLakeActivities.html http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/SPD/BottomlessLakesActivities.html The BLM site is first-come...

    Planning trip to Carlsbad Caverns

    Brief trip report. I recently (February, 2020) drove from Los Angeles, CA, to San Antonio, TX, and back, in an M3 LR RWD with 18" Aeros with two passengers. In both directions I did side trips into SE New Mexico. Outbound, I visited Carrizozo, turning off the I-10 at Deming (I-10), driving...

    Supercharger - Pasadena, CA (LIVE 26 Nov 2019, 24 urban stalls)

    An obvious location in East Pasadena would be near Foothill, somewhere between Sierra Madre Villa and Michillinda. Lots of big stores around there, plenty of places to eat, and very convenient for the I-210.

    Planning trip to Carlsbad Caverns

    By the way, if it’s a location that requires payment, the ChargePoint network is a good option.

    Planning trip to Carlsbad Caverns

    I'm unconvinced that restaurants are the way to go initially. A typical meal out is an hour or so, and that's not a big charge for that part of the country. Restauranteurs with dedicated parking lots often do not like people staying there for hours. I personally like hotels, libraries...

    Planning trip to Carlsbad Caverns

    So far, my only trip to NM since getting a Tesla was really enabled by the state park system. Some locations, e.g. Rockhound State Park, only have the 30A, 110V system, which needs a special adapter and only gives about 2.5 kW charging speed, so be sure to check carefully. The 50A sites are...

    Planning trip to Carlsbad Caverns

    For those that like geology and/or Tesla camper mode, Bottomless Lakes State Park, just east of Roswell, has available and plentiful RV charging, both 30 and 50 amp sites: Bottomless Lakes, New Mexico - Camping Reservations & Campgrounds | ReserveAmerica There is also Brantley Lake State Park...

    Planning trip to Carlsbad Caverns

    Looks like this project could use a little love. @nwdiver, have you had any luck reaching out to hotel chains? It seems amazing that absolutely no hotels in Carlsbad or Roswell has done so of their own initiative yet; This could provide a competitive edge for them. I should add that Tesla will...

    No fully leather-free (vegan) option being planned for the Model 3

    I'd prefer the vegan steering wheel, but over $500 is a bit rich for me, and I prefer nothing goes to waste. Does anyone know if Tesla is willing/going to charge less for swaps with other drivers? I'd gladly swap my leather steering wheel for a vegan one, in the LA area, if someone has one of...

    Planning trip to Carlsbad Caverns

    It's possibly worth approaching some of the hotel chains, and letting them know of the Destination Charging program and how sorely charge points are needed in NM right now.

    Planning trip to Carlsbad Caverns

    A bit of an old thread, but it struck my interest, as I've spent some time around Carlsbad Caverns NP, and am keen for them to have EV charging facilities there, and/or in nearby Carlsbad or Roswell, NM. Unfortunately, little has improved although, as I understand, direct sales of Teslas have...

    Paint protection: PPF or Ceramic or both?

    I went for just ceramic (Opti-coat pro and opti-glass). It's significantly cheaper than PPF. It makes the car shine, is incredibly easy to clean, and more resilient to chemical erosion (e.g. bird droppings), and so despite 10k miles a quick wash gets it looking as good as new. I've seen PPF...

    Firmware 1.20.0

    Thanks to some help from elsewhere, the solution for the API login was to set username to "installer", rather than to my email address. All features are still available, from what I can tell.

    Firmware 1.20.0

    Okay, this is very strange. We had a local 'critical peak pricing' demand response event today, from 2pm to 6pm, and the moment it ended (within 10s of seconds) at 6pm I regained control of the settings on my phone app, and the powerwall started recharging from solar. It may be a coincidence...

    Firmware 1.20.0

    The same thing happened to me. In terms of API access, it looks like they've switched from http to https. Certificate verification becomes an issue, but most software allows you to choose to allow insecure connections. For instance, if you used to use: curl -s http://192.168... now use...

    Configured 4/13 waiting on VIN (RED+PUP+LR+19+AP)

    Plenty of red with 18-in/aeros being assigned now: Tesla Model 3 Invites - Latest VIN For a time it was all red with 19-in/sport, so I guess they're cycling production, or had a shortfall in aero supply. Note that a lot of deliveries are headed up to Washington State right now, possibly due to...

    Neurio for new breakers

    I too am curious about the flexibility of the Neurio system within Powerwall. I'd love to be able to add an HPWC monitor too, ideally integrated with Powerwall's Neurio. If anyone comes up with a solution, please let me know.

    Software versions for Powerwall 2?

    I called Tesla support, and they confirmed that the functionality is there, but they are activating it for customers in phases, independently of the software updates. Apparently every week there will be more, and assuming no major issues it'll likely be activated for all users by the middle of...
