    I accidently filled my tire with the Tesla repair kit sealant, should I be worried?

    I'd take it to a tire shop and make sure you let them know there's goo in there, 'cause otherwise the next person to unmount that tire is gonna get a face full of goo.

    CarPlay & Android Auto Hack - Walkthrough

    Yes, exactly. I haven't tried other nav apps via CarPlay yet, but the nav voice for Apple Maps will come through the display's speaker if you are not using bluetooth connection between the display and the car for audio. Yeah, it didn't seem well documented and it is a little inconsistent. I...

    CarPlay & Android Auto Hack - Walkthrough

    "Absurdly long" might be overstating things a bit... it's certainly at least a second and noticeably longer than connecting to the Tesla directly. Perhaps I should have said "annoyingly long". Long enough that you wonder if you hit play/pause or not. The update didn't improve the Bluetooth lag...

    Best way to convert 30A 125/250V 10/30R

    That's a TT-30. Tesla doesn't make an adapter for it, but EVSE Adapters does. It's gonna be a pretty slow charge, though... about 10 miles range per hour charging. TT-30 Adapter for Tesla Model S/X/3/Y Gen 2 – EVSE Adapters

    Supercharging rate? How do I read this?

    Just to be clear, that's the average. The actual rate varies from location to location, which you can see on the in-car map. (Anyone know of a way to pull up the actual rates outside the car?)

    Flat Tire & Roadside Experience and Tesla Service.

    We can't blame Tesla for their roadside assistance being bad because everyone else's roadside assistance is bad? Isn't Tesla supposed to be better than the alternatives? Maybe you're happy with mediocrity, but I want Tesla to be better. In all things.

    Where to store summer tires?

    For whatever it's worth, Costco.com has that rack for less, even if you add the 5% non-member surcharge. https://www.costco.com/SafeRacks-Tire-Rack.product.100459731.html

    80A Breaker installed

    Set the dial to match the circuit. The dial only adjusts the maximum the car is allowed to draw, setting it higher won't cause any additional draw.

    Nema 14-50 charging 8 miles per hour

    Does the car report 8/8 or 8/32A? If the car's reporting 8/8, the mobile connector is reporting a limit of 8A, which shouldn't happen - none of the plug adapters for the mobile connector are that low. If it is reporting 8/32, it might have detected a voltage drop and reduced the amperage... but...

    Left Auto Lane Change Unavailable On Some Roads

    I saw this on an undivided but grade separated highway with navigate on autopilot. The lane change to the left (out of the climbing lane) wasn't consistently available. The lane change into the oncoming lane was consistently unavailable (which is a good thing... even where passing is permitted...

    Caution: Driving while firmware is updating

    The car knows what the update contains and what components will be updated. I'd argue if nothing safety-critical is being updated, the update *should* allow (but perhaps discourage) driving. You never know when that dam upstream is going to fail or some dummy starts a forest fire and you are...

    Tesla Software 2019.16.3

    There's nothing wrong with a vehicle that steers away from soft grass and towards an oncoming truck? I'm sorry, but this software update is broken and should never have been released in this state.

    Tesla Software 2019.16.3

    Yes. The car automatically steering towards a hazard because it thinks you *might* be leaving the roadway is simply unacceptable.

    Using an L14-30 Socket

    Those people are right. Using a L14-30R as an inlet (for the generator) is bad. Personally, before using it to charge the car, I'd double check the breaker. It's probably a 30A breaker, in which case you're fine. If it's not, I'd really question whoever wired that up.

    Try contacting Yakima, they were the ones manufacturing for Whispbar and the FatCat Evo is basically the Whispbar ski rack with a Yakima logo.

    Are you OK with AutoPilot jail?

    Honestly, this is why autopilot jail shouldn't be reset by shifting to park. It should be time-based. Or maybe reset when plugged in; not many chargers are in unsafe places. People shouldn't be encouraged to put themselves in a less safe position just to turn autopilot back on.

    Tesla/WeatherTech trunk mat - not exact fit?

    Here's mine. It might be slightly wider than it should be, but only by 1mm or so... not enough to really matter. It looks like yours might need to slide towards the front of the car a little... try pulling the lip towards you so it doesn't catch and slide the mat towards the seat.

    Reflections / Washout on Model 3 Screen

    Says who? Seems to me someone who takes the time to drive one has every right to ask questions about their experience without having to make an expensive purchase first. I mean, isn't that the smart way to go about things? Ask questions first?

    You're thinking of 6-30. 10-30 is hot, hot, neutral. No ground, which is why it's considered obsolete.

    glass roof - production change (July 2018)?

    That's the thing... we still don't know if it is or is not faulty. It's certainly possible that a batch of glass escaped the factory without the proper coating. It's possible that Tesla knows this and to keep production up is shipping it anyway and figures X% won't notice or won't care and they...

    Using Mobile Connector Outside When Rainy?

    The outlet should have an in-use cover that allows the cover to be closed while something's plugged in. If the outlet currently has an older cover that can't be closed while in use, I'd suggest replacing the cover. If it's a double outlet, I like this one...

    glass roof - production change (July 2018)?

    My theory? Thus far, every picture showing the color shift on the entire rear glass is a car with tinted windows. I think the rear glass is always all or none (well, except for that car that had a blotchy look a while back). The reason you don't see the color shift going all the way down on...

    Electrician recommends combining washer/dryer 110v into 220v ??

    The existing pair of outlets are likely two runs with three conductors each (hot, neutral, ground) or a single run with four conductors (hot, hot, neutral, ground) and the outlets share the neutral. In the first case: you can take the first run and leave it as-is for a single 15-20R. Take the...
