    I recently had a stealth hitch installed in my car and was hoping the rear-diffuser panel would be in on time but it came late. Has anyone ever replaced one themselves?

    Mobile service is currently unavailable

    Can someone confirm that mobile service can't be scheduled at the moment? I want to make sure it's not my account- won't let me into the 1st screen.

    EA, CCS, Chademo- do any stations currently work reliably?

    I was browsing comments on the plugshare app yesterday and noticed that almost all the EA station comments say that CCS and Chademo stations don't work- I have yet to find a comment about fast charging working at all. Has anyone actually had more than 50kw work at one of these stations?

    Wisconsin to Key West road trip

    Thought I'd share a brief note on our road trip from Wisconsin to Key West, Florida It was a lot of fun and the best part from a Tesla owner's perspective was how ordinary it was. No problems charging and we found several hotels with level 2 chargers all the way down and back. The downtown...

    PSA: check for rust at this point

    Hi Guys, Matt from Tech Forum posted this video: Now there's some talk accusing him of not mentioning that he's been in a couple of fender-benders which is surely why this is happening. However, I have not had any body work done and have not had any car to car encounters with my car and I...

    PS4 game controller?

    I just tried using my PS4 game controller with no luck. I tried resetting the controller with the little pin hole. Unfortunately every time I plug it in, it flashes orange once and goes black. I've seen this work on youtube videos. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Greater than 500mph at V2 supercharger

    I've been meaning to post this for a while now. I've been seeing 500 mph charging rates at superchargers lately, but it's odd that it peaks at 500 even though the KW continues to climb. I did a quick test you can see below and the actual rate is closer to 540 mph. Not sure why they're...

    2019.16- rural speed limit update?

    After updating to 2019.16 I noticed a stretch of rural road that previously had no speed limit shown in the car that is now working with the correct speed and autopilot is now working properly there as well. Correlation does not imply causation, but did anyone else notice this? I hope this...

    Sentry mode while camping?

    I'm going to be doing a long solo drive soon and am planning on doing some cat-naps in the car while supercharging and/or parked. Does anyone know if you can activate sentry mode while in the car? Sleeping in the front seat or back?

    Lifetime supercharging changed to pay per use- update

    Like a lot of others, my lifetime supercharging has changed in my account to read pay per use. I've emailed Tesla many times with limited response. The good news is I just tested a supercharger and I think it's still free for me (immediately shows $7.40 charge fee, which is the last fee I...

    Rear roof crack

    Yet another glass problem. This crack appeared a couple of days ago- no impact or anything. It looks like it runs right along the heating element- I did have a very cold day this week near 0 degrees F when I ran the defrost at full blast. Also odd thing- you can't feel this crack from the...

    Autopilot lane change success right vs left

    I’m wondering if everyone’s cars do this or if it’s just mine. When I lane change to the left, I have a 100% success rate. When I change to the right it’s maybe 60% on the first attempt. If it’s going to cancel the lane change it’s always to the right when it happpens.

    TIP : Reduced charging rate due to cold workaround

    Just had a situation where I needed a full charge by the next morning, but my charge rate was 1/2 normal due to cold. I waited an hour after I came home (hoping the battery would warm up) and it still was only charging at 16 amps- it said it was going to take more than 14 hours to complete...

    Charging car from small solar system

    This is probably kind of silly, but I'm thinking of charging my car using a 100 watt solar system that I have. I've got it set up all the time and I've been using it to charge my wife and my electric bicycles- works great for that. I'm mostly curious if it will work, but I obviously don't...

    P3D- max reported range

    So going on my 1st fully charged road trip today. Charging complete shows 307 miles and I haven't yet hit 1000 miles in the car- what are others getting? Not a big deal, but at this point I'm feeling death by 1000 pinpricks :(

    Free supercharging still not working

    So I supposedly got free supercharging when I ordered the car, but it still shows pay per use and today's supercharging sessions just showed up on my credit card. Does anyone with a P3D show free lifetime charging in their account rather than pay per use? Is anyone who is supposed to be...

    UV Wood Dash Protection?

    I've had my P3D for a week. The wood dash is nice, but I'm concerned about its long term exposure to sunlight. I don't really want a driftwood dash. Has anyone mentioned UV protection? I searched but didn't see anything in these forums. Here's a product from amazon with high reviews...

    Voice commands intermittent

    Has anyone else found the voice command to not always hear you? It doesn't matter if I shout or whatever, it acts like I haven't said anything a lot of the time. This is when I don't have music playing. It won't hear anything I say until I wait a while, then try it again. Seems to work...

    Model 3 with run flat?

    i was told by my orientation person (a tesla employee) that my aero wheels were run flat tires. I had not heard this and assume he was wrong since I knew a lot more about the car than he did in general.
