    Nema 14-50 splitter?

    It was to split the existing 50a into a 20-20, not sure why no 30-20 setup unless there was a concern with needing some head room. Ultimately the charge speed doesn’t make a huge difference for me as my charging occurs over night and I only need a couple hours and my mother-in-law maybe drives...

    Nema 14-50 splitter?

    So the main issue for me is that I only need a temporary solution for the 10 or so months I’m living with my in-laws and I don’t want to do anything permanent that can’t be reversed (which adds to cost). They’ve got the 50 amp service now so best option if we want to chargers is to split to two...

    Nema 14-50 splitter?

    I am trying to do something like this, but the electrician quoted $800, which is more than I paid to install the original outlet that required pulling power from the panel to the garage. He said to take the existing 14-50, install a 50 amp breaker box where the outlet is then run (2) 20 amp...

    Tesla Releases New Video As Model Y Deliveries Kick Off

    Saw this on my commute home yesterday. Likely just got off rail cars in western suburbs of Chicago.

    Software update 2019.16.3.2

    Received 16.3.2 this morning (Model 3, located in IL). Hoping this fixed the issue where leaving Sentry Mode enabled by default would break AutoPilot.

    Reinsert Rear Bumper sensor

    Hi Keith, wondering if you ever resolved this. I got bumped and rear sensor isn't quite as dislodged as yours but noticed the little ring around the sensor is cracked or pushed in.

    AWD Power increase

    1 day later on 2019.8.4 and I'm (thankfully) still running flawless with no reverse camera delay.

    Poll: Frequent black screen at startup?

    I am seeing the exact opposite - had 8.4 pushed while it was at the SC today. Got home and shifted into reverse with no noticeable camera delay. Maybe you need a forced reset after the update? I'm guessing Tesla does something like that while working on the car.

    AWD Power increase

    Happy to report that 2019.8.4 does fix the reverse camera delay glitch.

    Poll: Frequent black screen at startup?

    Just wanted to provide a quick update - dropped car at service center this morning and mentioned the camera. SC advisor said it was a known issue caused by one of the recent updates that should be fixed soon. A few minutes ago I received an app notification that I was updated to 2019.8.4 so...

    AWD Power increase

    Car is at SC today (having LTE modem looked at due to contionuous vehicle connection errors) and just got push alert that my vehicle was updated to 2019.8.4 530d1d3. Peak speed boost is nice, but really hoping this fixes the rear camera glitch / delay when shifting in reverse.

    Poll: Frequent black screen at startup?

    Aside from one time when the entire system froze and I had to reset it, I had never experienced this issue until the latest update to 2019.5.15 (f5def7e) and now when I put in reverse the screen goes black for a solid 2-3 seconds. I've tried doing a forced reboot, but that did not fix the issue...

    Any way to force firmware download?

    I’ve heard connecting to WiFi at Tesla Service Centers usually does the tricks. At least I got the latest update after my one visit.

    How often do you use frunk?

    Unfortunately, no. I do wish there was some sort of easy release button. I always unlock from the screen because the phone app takes too long to open and connect.

    How often do you use frunk?

    I use it to store the car seat base for my newborn. I have her in my car maybe once every week or so and with the LATCH system it's easy enough to take it out and reinstall it. It fits perfectly in the frunk and doesn't slide around like it would in the trunk. This frees up an extra seat in the...

    Headlight Fit & Finish Affects Road Noise

    I took home delivery of my Model 3 late at night, late in September, and so I didn't really get a chance to inspect the fit and finish as closely as I would have liked. The next morning I walked around the car checking for panel gaps and other issues and noticed that the driver side headlight...

    why satellite radio should have been an option

    If you're a first time customer, I think you can get 3-6 months for free or very little. Otherwise I think it's $13-15/month depending on how long a contract you sign up for and if doing month-to-month or annual billing.

    Valet Mode

    Bumping this for some further clarification... If I initially unlocked with my phone, but then activated a keycard (placed by cupholder) when arriving to valet, will my car still auto-lock when I walk away? Think this is what happened to me the other day at hand car wash - thought I was doing...

    LTE Network outage

    I used phone when I left office but forced to use keycard an hour later when picking up daughter at daycare. I thought if you were using phone at the car to unlock that it didn’t require vehicle internet connection, just Bluetooth and that is what triggered doors to lock / unlock?

    V9 39.7 - Dashcam not working

    Reset touchscreen and also tried removing and inserting, no such luck - still grey ‘X’ icon. Originally formatted via MacOS, only have TeslaCam folder. 16GB USB 2.0 drive so perhaps the read/write speed has something to do with it? It appeared to be recording yesterday, only noticed the X this...

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    Both mirrors? Then maybe it was a German thing.... Last two BMWs I had only tilted passenger-side mirror and only if the window adjustment switch on the door panel was toggled towards the passenger-side. Between one titled mirror and a rear view camera (with lines) that’s more than sufficient...

    AC back vents blowing warm air

    Good to know, but I think mine still comes on because it detects weight/pressure from the car seat strapped in.

    Automating your Tesla from your phone using Automate

    Can you provide some insight into how you got this setup in Shortcuts app? Would love to be able to unlock charge port and/or open frunk with a command.
  26. Brenzo

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    Yes, but with rear camera and passenger-side mirror tilting you could still achieve that. Regardless, would still love to see this as a feature, especially when the previous recommendation or existing UI / drive profile save process could easily allow for it.

    Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)

    So, the same system used for vehicle delivery?

    AC back vents blowing warm air

    Count me in as well, although I tested the other day and didn't appear to be hot air, though was definitely warmer than what was coming out of the front vent. I also couldn't see any dial/switch to shut the rear vent unless it's buried in software or I simply missed it when fumbling from the...

    Is slow charging with 110 v outlet bad for your battery?

    Also, don't be afraid to go with the 14-30, or even a 6-20 or 6-15 if it helps keep the install costs down by allowing electrician to simply add an additional wire or two through existing conduit to your outlet box. You'll still see a significant improvement in charge speed, even if you won't...

    Obvious features/functions that weren't obvious to you

    I have same request. I don't get why the driver-side mirror tilts because unless you are parallel parking on the driver-side on a one-way street, it's fairly pointless. No other car I have owned with auto-tilt in reverse functionality ever adjusted the driver-side in addition to the...

    NEMA 14-50 vs NEMA 14-30

    I say just go with the 14-30 ran on the 30 amps. While I don't know your specific daily use / needs, I can almost guarantee that for 98% of drivers the charge rate provided by the 14-30 (20-22 mph) is more than sufficient for your daily use with the long range model. Personally, I went with...

    Hiding the aero covers in the app and in car display

    Glad I'm not the only one that has thought of this. Even gone so far as to tap on the car picture and press/hold on the tires to see if some Easter egg would change them.

    Slacker radio

    Hoping that in light of their Pandora acquisition, that streaming SiriusXM becomes an option for the default radio. Would love Spotify too, don't get me wrong, but for set-it-and-forget-it, much prefer radio than a playlist and Pandora stations on their own are pretty great as is human-curated...

    For those who live in where they salt roads during winter, what are you doing for rust proofing?

    I didn’t think they used salt in CO. At least they didn’t when I was living in Boulder - instead threw down some lava ash / sand mixture that was good for the environment but sh*t at melting anything

    I’ve never done anything other than ensure I get regular car washes where they spray the under carriage.

    Vendor 3D Maxpider 10% off When ordering Frunk and Trunk w/ Interior mats!

    What if we didn't receive the second email? I got one last Friday about the incoming batch, but nothing about my order date / batch number (ordered 9/6).

    All-weather floor mats, trunk/frunk mats

    I went with Tesla mats for frunk / trunk, which are just white-labeled WeatherTech mats (same manufacturer). Ordered Kagu 3D Maxpider mats for interior, which I highly recommend from durability and comfort standpoint over the WeatherTech.

    LTE Connection Issues

    Rear Camera Modes

    Interesting... following in case someone knows something. It’s definitelt possible to do with single camera and lens because my old Honda could display a wide angle, fisheye lens and almost top down view and pretty sure it was all software trickery.

    An hour after I was told I'd receive a call back, and just 20 minutes before my scheduled delivery time, the same Delivery Advisor I spoke with earlier today actually called me back to let me know that the car was in the process of being detailed and would be driven over right afterwards. She...

    Successful Installation of SiriusXM radio

    Problem where I live is there are simply no reliably clear FM channels - too much noise pollution in city. Still hoping someone figures out how to tap into FM antenna module and rig something up.

    AWD delivery thread

    Assuming you have VIN / MVPA, I would definitely recommend calling ahead. I mentioned a few pages back that I was rescheduled from Highland Park pickup for home delivery via Chicago - Grand Ave SC (what's listed on my MVPA). Inside Advisor mentioned a lot of deliveries were being rescheduled...
