The wire runs very short. He said that’s the reason he used an 8 awg. The circuit panel is literally on the other side of the wall. He would’ve ran a 6 if it was longer than 25 feet. He’s saying the reason it went hot yesterday is because it was an extremely hot day in LA yesterday (110...

I did not test the cord anywhere else. I don’t know anyone near me where I could test it on short notice. The outlet did get hot, but it was not scoldng hot. Like a bowl of soup hot. That said I only touched it after my model 3 dropped down to 16A of charging due to heat, so it may have cooled...

For what it’s worth, I did attempt to give him the printout but he declined saying he’s done many of these. I took his word

32amps. It drops to 16amps when it senses it’s getting too hot. I went to my car to check on it when I kept seeing it drop to 16amps on my app. That’s when I saw the message in the car that I attached on the original post

I will be extremely annoyed if he asks for more money. I called a few electricians for quotes and told them I wanted a 14-50 installed for my EV. This guy says he’s done a bunch before and gives me the lowest quote of the bunch. I literally picked him BECAUSE of the lowest quote. If he comes...

Well the electrician used a 8 AWG wire. He insists it’s fine although the agreed to come check out why it’s getting overheated. Anything I can say to win my argument that it’s NOT fine over his professional optimism other than point to my issue or the Tesla instructions?

Has anyone else received this message? I just had a NEMA 14-50 installed and received this message when I tried charging. Was my electrician just sloppy? If so, what could he have done or didn’t do that is causing this? Or is possibly my UMC?

Yeah I got it back a while ago. They comped me a free annual maintenance for my trouble. Car has been great. I’m having some issues currently with one of the door seals coming loose, which is quite annoying and will get it addressed by the service center. Otherwise, no major issues to report...

Just to clarify, should have or shouldn’t have?

I’m having some issues opening and closing the driver side door. The rubber piece on the side of the door where it latches to the car appears loose, and it’s getting caught when I try to open the door. I push it back in with my finger and it will stick for a while, but then it gets loose again...

I got mine. I mean, I hate to complain about a toy but ... I wish it was the same color as my car though.

I just noticed the +/- today after my post and tried it. Didn’t know the scroll worked too though. Thank you!

How do I do that? Sorry first time Tesla owner so apologies if it’s obvious

Is it just my car or does everyone need to put a bit of extra muster to close the doors completely. I’ve seen all my passengers shut the door only to realize they didn’t close it hard enough and have to do it again. Also don’t love the door handles. I prefer the S handles.

Nope. I suggested it to my wife back when that thread first came up and she reacted the same way a wife would if you told her that her sister was prettier. My dog is clean apparently and any suggestion to treat him lesser than human is cruel

simple question. What are you guys using to clean the leather seats? My dog is making a mess of it and I’m trying to figure out how to wipe it without damaging it over time

I just did mine over the weekend. The cigarrette lighter port is inside the center console. I followed the lead of this poster and it was money. Pulling off that side piece put a lot of faith in Internet strangers but it worked out great Easy DIY dash cam install

FWIW, they gave me a free annual servicing credit for my troubles. You may want to see if you can get the same if they haven’t already offered it to you yet

Make sure they still have the bolts. I’m at day 15 and still no car. Very frustrated

They actually called me after my post. I asked for clarification on the hang up and they basically confirmed the inexperience part. They said their folks don’t have a lot of experience changing out the battery (comforting...) for these cars, so when they shipped my bad battery out they shipped...

Yes and No. It went down on a Saturday. They said hopefully that upcoming Monday I’d have it back. Then they told me that Monday they need a few more days. Then more days again. Then again. Today they said hopefully tomorrow. It will be two weeks this Saturday. The battery is in, but now...

This is great. I ordered the same camera and will be receiving it soon. Unfortunately my car is still at the service center so I’ll have to wait!

I hear ya and that’s good to know about 511. I actually called Tesla first, and they advised me to call CHP immediately. There were about half a dozen near misses, with cars slamming their breaks or swerving around us while laying into their horns, so it sure felt like an emergency.

I did not supply it. It’s 159xx

Providing an update to anyone who cares. They are replacing both the drive unit and battery pack. They said after it was brought in, the car malfunctioned even more and would no longer turn on. They tested the battery and it was no good. Why the drive unit was replaced too, I’m not sure. I...

For what it’s worth from the moment the message appeared to when I was no longer able to accelerate was probably about 3-4 seconds. Just about enough time for me to process what was happening. Even if I processed it immediately, there was no where to go. I was already entering the...

Yes the car completely died on me. I literally couldn’t drive it anymore. The screen was still functioning so the power wasn’t lost in that sense, but in terms of operating the vehicle there was no power whatsoever. Of course I would’ve attempted to drive to a safer place and pull over if I...

I preface this post by saying I’m a huge Musk, Tesla, and Model 3 supporter (obviously since I purchased one). I loved the car for the day and a half it was working, but I figured I should report my experience, one to see if there’s anyone out there that had the same experience, and perhaps...

This is awesome. Thank you so much!

hello all- First time Tesla owner picking up my Model 3 this weekend. I looked around a bit but didn’t see an answer anywhere so apologies if I just didn’t look hard enough. i know for a lot of people picking up theur model 3s, they are discovering little issues that need to go back to the...
