    Model X refresh trunk keeps open on its own. Multiple errors

    I've got a mobile service appointment scheduled, but this started happening yesterday. It may be a coincidence but my wife happened to also go through an automated car wash earlier in the day. Since then the rear trunk hatch is continually opening on its own. Sometimes it stays closed for 30...

    FWD issues with 2022 X

    My wife drives a 2022 Model X. The left FWD seems to be slowly accumulating issues. At first it was making very odd sounds near the top of its range and sometimes opening slower than I figure it should be. Now it also has issues where the window only rolls up part way and then goes back down...

    Model 3 (Stealth) Performance - 5y ownership, service history + high battery degradation?

    Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while but I just came up on 5 years of ownership of my M3P- or whatever people are calling them these days (essentially an AWD model + performance\track mode). I thought I would do a little review of what the last 5 years have been. In particular I'm...

    Phone key having issues after phone update (OnePlus 8T - Android 12)

    After suffering for years with a crappy OnePlus 5T phone key experience with my Model 3, I bought a OnePlus 8T and it has been flawless. That is, until about 1-2 weeks ago when I installed a system update which I believe included an update to Android 12. It reset a lot of my settings, but i...

    Replacing NEMA 14-50 with Wall Connector - Wiring question

    I have a question when swapping out a NEMA 14-50 with a Wall Connector. Since the neutral is unused, I have it disconnected at both ends with a wire nut. For ground I just used the normal ground wire in the 6-3 THHN. My question is should I be using the neutral wire for ground instead of the...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector came in a ordinary box, and seems broken?

    I recently ordered two wall connectors. One came in the custom wall connector black cardboard box, but the second one came in an ordinary brown cardboard box with the internals of the black box ripped out and thrown inside. It looks as if it came from Tesla like this based on the labels on the...

    PSA: Double check your child car seat, especially after service

    On July 3rd my wife had a dealer appointment for an oil change on her car, so I was loading my 3yo into the car seat in my Model 3 so we could drive my wife back home after dropping off the car, and something felt off as i was tightening the restraints. Luckily I investigated further and found...

    Possible solution for towing range anxiety?

    I don't have twitter so i can't tweet this to Elon, and i don't know if it has been discussed before. Given that most cases when you are towing something, range will be severely impacted, why not allow the car to charge while driving? I'm guessing it would be fairly easy to fit a generator (or...

    HVAC + Cabin camera + live feed = Perfect baby cam?

    I'm not sure what the purpose of the cabin camera is, since it doesn't appear to be set up in a way to be able to see the steering wheel. Possibly for eye\attentiveness tracking? I did think of one thing that would potentially be perfect for it though. There were plenty of times when my...

    Slight burning smell with HVAC heating on

    It is starting to get colder here in the PNW. The last couple times leaving work in the evening to come home I've noticed a slight burning smell for the first bit of the trip. I'm assuming this is from the HVAC heating components which maybe I've never had come on before. Turning down the...

    Hypothetical: How long until wireless car charging?

    I'm not talking about wireless charging of your phone in the car, but actually wirelessly charging the car itself. I imagine in theory you could place a pad in your garage and then when you park over it your car can automatically charge wirelessly. It looks like they are working on wireless...

    Hiding the aero covers in the app and in car display

    I recently picked up my Model 3 with aero wheels and removed the aero covers the second I got home. I'm curious if there is a way to change which wheels\covers are shown in the app? It is super minor, but it would be cool if the car and what is shown in the app and in car display would match.

    Reporting defects after delivery

    I picked up my M3P yesterday and noticed some small scratches in the paint and window trim, and slightly misaligned left headlight. I told the lady at the front desk, and she said she would take pictures and post them on my account. She also said I had 24 hours to report other issues, and I...

    Prepare for Your Model 3 Delivery

    I just received this email, and it looks like it wants me to confirm a delivery location, but clicking the link just takes me to my account page, and there is not actually any place to select a location. Is this normal?
