Dammit! That was supposed to say SCAN my Tesla. Can’t change it. Oops. i saw an app for Android that can scan your Tesla and give you info on many things like your BMS and let you know the voltage of all the battery groups that make up the one big battery we have. If I lose rated range, I want...

This is my plan: 1) remove unnecessary weight. 2) leave tires at 43 psi 3) slip start off 4) creep off 5) SoC above 90% 6) line up and enable brake auto hold 7) mash accelerator. Any tips to improve my time? I’m supercharging it right before I go. Thank you.

I paid $5000 for the FDS upgrade even though they promised to honor the $4000 price originally quoted. Just received the refund plus the tax, today. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Is there a way to activate heated seats without setting it up before I leave the car?

Elon said 6 weeks to Smart Parking. I’m getting excited!

My girlfriend showed me this. I didn’t even know. Triple tap the ‘T’ on the screen and it automatically opens the Atari games bypassing the Easter egg screen. Why didn’t I know that before her? :rolleyes:

Tesla wrote me and said to pay the $5000 and they will reimburse me $1000 within 30 days. With all of the price fluctuations, I’m on the fence with ordering now vs later. My thought is they might not honor the original $4000 upgrade if I wait too long. Your thoughts?

i used to charge to 90%. Once during the first month, I charged to 100% and it gave me 311 miles. After that I limited my charging to keep it between 30%-70%. I finally went on my first long trip so I charged it to 100% and it only hit 298 mile range. I lost 13 mikes of range in 4 months. I’m...

I just realized that a long push left or right on the left scroll wheel will jump to your next or previous favorite stations. I though I could only go to next or previous song with a quick press. Now I know. :)

Have you ever been out for a drink and and had to drive a friend home because they drank too much? Of course, you leave their car at the bar for the night and drive them home in your car. If Tesla created a feature where the car could closely follow the vehicle in front of it (including turns)...

Parked in my garage, plugged in, charge limit set at 50%. I reached Detroit and picked up a Toyota Forerunner rental. Been driving this thing for 8 days. Seats are comfortable and the the vehicle is roomy but accelerator response time is SLOW. Lots of play in the steering wheel and huge body...

To promote healthy battery life, we are told ‘by some’ to keep the state of charge between 20% to 80% with our 75 kWh batteries. Now when the 60 kWh Model 3 comes out, it will basically be a 75 kWh battery software locked to only utilize 60 kWh. Question: Will the 60 kWh version use the upper...

We all know that if we bought FSD before delivery, it was $3000 extra after EAP. They said if we purchased it later, it would be $4000. Now they changed it to $5000. Question: Has anyone got them to upgrade for the original $4000 after they changed the price to $5000? If I could get it for the...

I opened my trunk and this was on the passenger side by the hinge.

I know it can vary depending on the situation but here’s my question. While driving, what percentage of the traction battery’s power is used to keep the 12v battery charged? While parked, if you use solar panels to keep the 12v topped off, will this eliminate 99% of the vampire drain on the...

I looked all over but I can’t seem to find it. I have some heavy and odd shaped things in my trunk cargo well. I’m looking for something tough to line it with so I don’t deform the well or rip a hole in it. Something professionally made. I’m using a thick towel for now.

When It rains in Las Vegas, we get many areas that flood with still water (not rushing). If it’s too deep, an ICE car will stall because the water blocks the air intake. Our Teslas have fully enclosed batteries, I believe. Can we make it through deep still water without stalling? I bet we could...

I left my vehicle at work and took the 12V battery home to charge it. Charging the battery help pop it out of “Vehicle Systems are Powering Up” mode the last 2 times it happened. I accidentally closed the frunk all of the way. No biggie. I saw on YouTube how to pop the frunk when the battery is...

WTF?!? It stayed like this for 15 minutes. Called Tesla Service Center. Ran through the reboot with the steering wheel and the shutdown under the service button. Also did all this after removing my USB stick with music. They had no answer. I tried it with a key card and then it also gave me a...

The delivery specialist told me to bring imy M3 back every year for an annual service. Does anyone know exactly what they do and/or how much it costs?

I heard something strike the roof of my car while driving on the freeway. I didn’t notice anything until the crack appeared dead center! :mad: It’s like a foot long! Wonder how much this will cost to fix? :( Maybe insurance will pay for it, I hope.

It wasn’t connecting to my iPhone’s Bluetooth audio. The Bluetooth phone key was fine but not for my music. My Bluetooth started working again after I rebooted it. Not sure if it’s common knowledge but I thought I’d share it anyways. Press and hold the brake pedal. Press and hold the 2 steering...

Just to test out how much juice it used, I ran my A/C on max for 5 hrs while at work. It used 60 miles of my charge. Perhaps I’ll check it out with half power later.

I took delivery of my M3 last month. I’m pretty sure I get the $7500 tax credit but I didn’t see any papers that state I get the credit. Don’t I need something that shows I’m within the 200k mark and qualify for the credit when I do my taxes?

My buddy has his Model 3 in the shop so they gave him a loaner car (Model S P60D). I said, “Let’s race”! He said I should take a ride first in the P60D. OMG!!! I didn’t want to race anymore. My brain was squashed into the rear of my skull. The launch felt twice as strong as my Model 3. I...

Installed an Eco Hitch on my M3. I also wired a 4 prong harness for about $25 in parts. The wiring is also completely hidden. It accelerates like I’m not pulling anything. The trailer has standard bulbs and works fine but I’m going to switch them out for LED.
