    What is powerwall thinking? (Behavior change.)

    I am only about three weeks since PTO, but powerwall was doing great — and then changed its behavior oddly. (For context: Tesla powerwall+ fed by 10kW of Hanwha panels, Tesla gateway, San Diego’s SDG&E EVTOU5 plan with NEM2.0. TBC mode with a reserve of 20%, export is enabled, TOU profile is...

    Updates stopped on "Advanced" car -- continue on "Standard" car

    We have a 2018 M3LR (HW2.5, update:standard) and a 2019 M3P (HW3, FSD entitlement, FSD opt-in, update:advanced). I've realized that over the last few of weeks, the M3LR has gotten several updates ahead of the M3P. Usually, the M3P has gotten updates when they reach about 5% of the fleet (per...

    DP re. body panel adjustments

    tl;dr: "3 to 4 weeks backlog at body shop" for due bill adjustments. Just a DP, really: I picked up my 3/LR/P+ in late September, and scheduled a service appointment for early Nov. for due bill items. Almost all of my reports were minor panel or trim alignment issues; 9/10ths of which I could...

    Obscure manufacturing variations

    So, we all know about the seat changes and the trunk garnish (is anybody cataloging all of these somewhere? TeslaTap maybe?) but I noticed an odd one today that I don't recall being mentioned. Remember the PaintCow video? (Tesla shares glimpse of a streamlined Model 3 paint shop with...

    For those without 3d printing capability, I encourage you to get chojn1's tray -- it's cool that his kids are doing it. The megathread is here. If you're in here and thinking about printing your own, I just posted my remix on Thingiverse, including info on flocking (velvety-coating). More...

    Tactile locators for touchscreen functions?

    Has anybody tried putting tiny bumps on the back of the touchscreen to help locate common functions without looking? I've been thinking about putting a tiny stick-on bump at the temperature-adjust location, so that if I find the bump with my index finger, my thumb is in the right place to tap...

    USB music organization?

    I'm having some trouble with the organization of music that's read from the USB drive: in most cases it correctly groups the tracks as an album. However, sometimes most or all of the tracks appear as separate "albums". I have a strong suspicion that it's incorrectly interpreting different song...

    Ordering Qs: Registration name? Separate accounts?

    (Did search; didn't find anything on-point; thanks.) Both of my 3 reservations got released for ordering (plan is to get one ASAP; wait on one. (3/31 online, non-owner.)) Figured out choices (Blue, 18", EAP) and started the order process. Registration: The "Delivery Intent" step is asking for...
