This month, we lost PG&E power for 2 days, my two powerwalls worked for about 10 hours, and there was no sun to recharge the powerwalls. The last resort is the 100 kwHr battery in the garage. I connected a 1kw inverter to the 12v battery with 2 gauge cables and Anderson connectors, and 12' of...

I was in a hit-and-run accident. I was able to play the video for the police. When they asked for the thumbdrive, I pulled the micro sd card out without stopping the player first. The dashcam has never worked since then - the dashcam icon does not display on the screen, and the format USB drive...

Postscript - I've learned more about the red button mode for the defroster, and am posting the following in the hopes that others can avoid my difficult experience. In calm circumstances, I set the defroster on red, and observed that the fan was blowing 'room' air, which was what I experienced...

One more thought: when I park a car in freezing conditions, I always lift the wipers so they won't freeze to the windshield. This is not possible with my S.

Thanks to all of you for your thoughtful replies. Below are a few more details: I've been driving in ice and snow for about 50 years, having lived in New Hampshire, Connecticut and owning a house in Tahoe for 30 years. The traction on the Tesla was great - nothing but praise there. My issues...

Well - two thoughts pop to mind: - sub zero is about 30 degrees below where I was, so I suppose as with the 'auto pilot' nomenclature, the labels are at best meaningless, and - every car I have ever owned had a defroster that worked, an am radio, and a user manual 24/7; more recently, they...

I did - and so did the Model X. When I placed my hand at the base of the windshield, the defrost air was barely warm - entirely ineffective. I set the defroster on both the orange and blue settings, with no discernible difference.We also experimented with manual settings: max fan, upper vents...

Correct - I didn't purchase that package. However, 29F is nowhere near 'sub-zero'.

Last week, I drove from the SF Bay Area to Lake Tahoe. Above 5000 feet, it was snowing (heavy flurries), snow on the surface, temperature 29-31F, on a two lane highway (US50). We stopped for 2 hours while an avalanche was cleared, and then resumed travel in the dark. Soon, the road was barely...

I have 3 things I always want to see on the center screen - top to bottom, 1) map, 2) camera, & 3) media. Reconfiguring the display while driving is not safe, and yet that's what I find myself doing. Is there some way I can make this the default screen setting?

I have a moisture issue in my frunk - appears to be on the left side.
