    Battery life.

    I realize Tesla hasn't been in existence for long enough to have real definite data on battery life, but what is the "expected" life span for the battery in my 2018 MLR? I have friends telling me it is only 5 years before a replacement is needed. How much capacity drop would generally require...

    In my Refreshed MSLR the auto shift is terrible. It is incorrect over 70% of the time. Here' are some samples. I've tried re-booting but nothing helps. I just keep sending Bug Reports.

    Range Anxiety Woes (or, how do we do some of this with the navigation?)

    Opps you are right. The app does work well if you use the correct one. LOL

    Range Anxiety Woes (or, how do we do some of this with the navigation?)

    If you are planning a long trip you should check out the App ABTP, America's est trip planner. It works great and lets you modify the data to check different scenarios suck as ow much range you want when arriving, or using different super chargers from what the car nav. wants. Really worked well...

    Wait for 3D spider mats for refresh Tesla or get the Tasmanian now?

    I have the 3D mats in my M3 and like them but I just got the Tesmanians for mu 2021 refreshed MS LR. I really like them. They ARE expensive compared the others but included the great trunk cover with hinges for pocket access as well as the Frunk pad.

    Anyone else have issues with their 2021 refresh Model S?

    My Teslas have been just the opposite! A 2018 Model 3 Long Range and a refreshed Model S long Range and neither has had and problems that weren't with my intelligence. After I decided to read the WHOLE manual the problems I thought I had were gone. This is surely NOT the cure for what Jordanko...

    What other Gen 2 NEMA Adapters should I buy

    We recently took a trip to Florida and stayed at an AirBNB that had a 10-30 receptacle in the carport. I ordered an adapter on Amazon and had it the next day. Saved one hour trips to the super charger during our stay and we departed with a full charge.

    Question on navigation charging times

    Is it possible to modify the amt. of time at a super charger, in trip planner, to see options of number of stops?

    Orange light: Unable to Supercharge

    I had a similar problem with the charger at my house and it turner out to be a small bug had gotten into the charge port and was squashed almost flat but it wouldn't let the cable go the last millimeter or so to plug in correctly. Took forever to find.

    Missing part of charge kit

    The only item in the zipper bag that will plug in to power is a 120vac adapter. Don't they send a 14-30 plug?

    Missing part of charge kit

    Ready to charge my new Model S refreshed and found there isn't an cord adapter in the kit to connect from a wall socket to the cord. Looked on line at pictures of the kits and the adapter I need is shown. Did they forget or do I have to pay extra to buy it?

    Don't trust automatic gear selection on refreshed Model S.

    I was leaving a store this morning and when I taped the brake to drive off the screen selected reverse. The camera came on and there was an Ford F-250 grill covering the whole camera screen. Luckily I always double check. I wish now I'd taken a picture to send to Elon!

    Wrong time Zone

    I had the same problem and tried everything listed above with no luck. I then tried verbal command to "show correct time on clock".. The screen showed a "cannot understand" then the clock changed to the correct time??? Worth a try.

    I'm having phantom drain problems.

    On my Stats App the drain rate says it is better than 15% of users. Can it be the sentry? I don't turn it on when we go to the boat but I get "sentry enabled" messages. IO thought it stayed off unless enabled??

    I'm having phantom drain problems.

    When sitting on our back porch within 10 feet of our M3 we hear clicking and some clunk sounds from the car. Can being that near the car keep it "alive" and cause the drain problems we are seeing?

    Charging with a gas generator?

    Thanks for the pics. That is the same generator I have for camping. To others who think it is stupid, this is in case I run low on power to get to a charger when camping. (Remember phantom drain in cold weather!)

    Charging with a gas generator?

    I have ordered the truck but have a question . We will be camping with the truck for extended periods and wonder if you can charge the truck with a standard gas generator (220VAC)? The sine wave output isn't nearly as clean as house current. Will Tesla's electronics allow this? Anyone try this...

    Sentry problem

    On my M3 the sentry turns on automatically every time I put the car in park. Is there a way to change that so that I initiate sentry and it's not automatic? Also in the owners manual there is nothing on the sentry mode. There is a shaded "Sentry" without and other text.

    I am having trouble with the sentry mode. No matter what I do to turn it off the next time I get in the car it is back on. I went to the owners manual and when I highlight the "Sentry Mode" it reverts to the first screen without showing anything regarding sentry. I wouldnm't normallyu mind but...
