I installed a new router in my home, which changed the path for device connection to my Powerwall. I received a notice in the app that I need to enter my TSN to set things up again.. However, I can't find it on the Powerwall or other hardware. Can someone please tell me exactly where to find it...

I have a 2018 model 3. When I purchased it about five years ago, I was able to train the built in garage door opener capability to work with an existing rolul-up garage door. I just updated our door opener to a new MyQ Chamberlin model. Will I be able to use that same Tesla procedure using the...

When I got in my car yesterday, it indicated that it was ready to upgrade the software. I needed to leave so I chose the option for it to upgrade at 11 pm that evening. However, I can’t find a method to confirm that it did successfully upgrade at that time. And if it didn’t, how do I get it to...

I got a notice that my climate control had been on for a long time. I went out to the garage and heard the fan on high and it was cold around the car. I sat in the driver's seat and it was cold in the cabin. However, the temperature settings for both driver and passenger were 72 as usual. I...

Seven years ago Solar City installed two rows of panels and a PowerOne inverter on my house. At the time, they gave three options for payment, purchase outright, 20-year lease with fixed and scheduled payment increases, or lease, but prepay the lease and avoid the ongoing payments and increases...

We are in the fire zone in Northern California so our power was turned off as scheduled last night, 10/25. Powerwall took over quickly and all seemed right. I was surprised and disappointed to learn that my Comcast Internet does not work during a power outage despite my cable modem continuing...

My SGIP request for a single Powerwall install seemed to be stuck for a long time. The date listed was from last March and it just indicated that the application was submitted. That was when I had agreed to the install. The actual installation happened in May and the PTO was received in July...

How do I add a non-required supercharger stop to an existing navigation route? Of course, I can set the navigation to go to the supercharger, and then set it to my final destination when supercharging is complete. But is there a way to request the final destination and tell it to add the...

Had a situation happen a few days ago, and I'm looking for suggestions as to what I might have done differently. I was in Yosemite National Park and staying in Yosemite Valley. Navigation was working perfectly with no problems. I used it one evening to navigate to an incredible lookout point...

I have a long range Model 3 and am planning a trip to Yosemite from Oakland next week if the air quality stays reasonable. It looks like the last super charger is in Manteca, just 59 miles in on a total of 174. I was hoping on arriving with more charge to allow for driving around in Yosemite and...

In the most recent software upgrade for my Model 3, 2020.32.3, there is a feature labeled Tesla Powerwall Coordination. The release notes say that, "your car coordinates with Powerwall for enhanced charging during a power outage without exceeding the energy and power capabilities of your...

I'm curious what other Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) customers are doing for time entry if they are using Time-based Control through the app. There is a shortcoming in the current version of the app related to entry of a Partial Peak time period and I wonder how others are handling that...

I know when they started doing the 2.5 to 3.0 hardware upgrades you had to bring the car in. Is that still true, or have they started doing it with mobile service?

I currently have solar panels, installed eight years ago by Solar City. It has 14 panels and is rated 3.5kW. Over a one-year time span we produced more electricity than we used. There were four months in the winter when we used more than we produced, but we more than made up for that over the...

As many have noted, when approaching a concrete block at the front of a parking space, the car will initially show it with a red line and indicate the distance. However, as you get closer, the camera sees over and past the block, and starts reporting the distance to an object beyond. But why...

I believe there is a supercharger off 101 in Santa Rosa, CA. Is that right? If so, is it open or is it down due to the power outages in Northern California?

Will superchargers be shut down in areas where power is shut off this week in the SF Bay Area?

Now that some of the initial issues with Sentry Mode have been addressed, I thought it might be a good time to think about what V2 might look like. At the outset, I agree with many who say it is currently too sensitive, resulting in lots of clips that have no value. I have spent too much time...

I will be staying at a hotel that has the 220v outlet below available for customers on a first come, first served basis. I have the cable that came with the car. What additionally will I need to make use of this outlet? Assuming I need to purchase an additional cable, please let me know...

I'm picking up my car from a garage later today which is 7 miles from my house. Currently, the app says I have 21 miles of range. By the time I get there, I expect it will be a little less. Any tips or settings to help ensure I make it home? Once home, I am all set up to charge.

I managed to put two gashes in my bumper as you can see from the attached photo. One is towards the top and the second, towards the bottom. Can I get a good result from using a local, mobile dent guy? Do they need to get "special" paint only available from Tesla? Can I get that ahead of time...

Imagine I’m 20 miles from home. I want to navigate to home from my current location and I want to stop on the way home at whichever of the four Costco’s somewhere in the area will take me least out of my way home. I can certainly first say, “navigate to Costco,” and it shows me the map with each...

Woke up this morning to the following on my iPhone when I opened the app, car name and serial number “is no longer in your Tesla account”. Was it me?

I have set up a 32 GB USB drive with a folder called TeslaCam. I can save files to it on my computer with no problem. I plugged it in to a cable from the USB port in the car and I see the dashcam icon on the screen. However, I am not getting a red dot and it is not recording. What step am I...

With Sentry Mode on the way, I think it is time to set up a dashcam. We have two iPhones, so I have two iPhone USB cables currently connected. What is the easiest way ( a product link would be much appreciated) to keep those two cables active and able to charge two iPhones, and add a third cable...

A few weeks ago I noticed a seemingly intermittent behavior that I had not seen previously. I bought the M3 in mid-October. Prior to a few weeks ago, virtually every time I would walk up to the driver door with my iPhone X in my pocket, I could open the door, get in, and drive away. Then a few...

I have had my M3 for about a month. I have an iPhone X on 12.1, which I updated when it came out. From day one, after the initial setup of my phone, I never had to take my phone out of my pocket, from opening the door through putting the car in gear. However, yesterday that changed. Since then...

There is a road near my house that has two lanes in each direction, along with a wide shoulder. Occasionally, someone parks on that shoulder. Apparently, the software does not expect a car to be there, and if I come a little too close, it sets off an alarm which is quite startling. This isn't a...

If I do a "soft reset" does everything reset? Do I have to go back in and reset each setting I had customized to that point? I'm playing around with home link. It works manually just fine, but inconsistently on auto.

I just picked up my M3 last Sunday, so I am very much in a learning mode. I was parking today in a head-on spot which, like many parking spaces, had a concrete block, about 5 or 6 inches high at the front. Behind that was a very small up-slope with grass. As I was pulling in, it showed me the...

i haven’t placed an order yet, still collecting info. I have seen mention of the “walk away honk” when the doors lock. I know this is optional, but am still surprised to hear it is a honk, which, on other cars I have found to be noisy, particularly at night. I far prefer the soft electronic beep...

I bought solar panels for my house from Solar City 5 years ago. Does that get me any advantage in the ordering process? Lifetime traffic info?

I’m new to this community and notice that a number of users make use of acronyms and initials for features. It would be very helpful for new users such as myself to have an up to date glossary easily available for reference.

I just came back from a test drive of a model 3. I am strongly considering ordering, and went through the configuration options. I don't want Enhanced Auto Pilot, let alone Full Self Driving. However, without those options, I still expected to see lots of info on the screen about cars around me...
