    Wiper fluid/nozzle issue

    Just an fyi, I have a 2018 w/heated wipers, etc. and one side sprayed high and wide while the other was more like the above. I had a tech come out and they actually told me they are supposed to be designed almost like above and NOT a fan spray! He adjusted mine so that it puts fluid above the...

    HEPA Filter Replacement

    If you don't mind me asking, did you do this yourself? I had read that others purchasing the aftermarket Ohmmu one started seeing errors months later due in part to Tesla updates. And their "fix" was to disconnect/reconnect which is kinda a pain to do. Not even sure if Tesla allows you to...

    HEPA Filter Replacement

    I bought my 2018 S used from Tesla back in 10/2022 when it had approx. 45k on it, and not sure what service records were kept. Assuming the battery was the same do you think I should replace mine at now 58k miles?

    Speeding ticket question

    Thank you, I've yet to do anything with the ticket as i have 21 days. I just wanted to get some feedback from others maybe in this situation at some point if getting a lawyer is overkill. Thank you for your advice!

    Speeding ticket question

    Personally I've had no issue keeping it on, even with Creep Mode activated I find the car to be stealthy fast, I really bought it for the technology, gas savings and looks.

    Speeding ticket question

    I'm not arguing that point, the police were well off of the shoulder and I hugged the middle line as I approached. My question was more so arguing the 'estimated' speed they wrote me up for which would more directly affect my insurance.

    Speeding ticket question

    I pulled over right after where they were parked, you're not supposed to interfere with them in the middle of a traffic stop tbh as it puts them at risk. And as I stated my phone was in my glovebox and my only thoughts were getting away from them, and staying on a main road with other vehicles...

    Speeding ticket question

    Awesome response, anymore idiocy to add to people you don't even know? I guess EVERYONE knows/uses all of the features on their Tesla...despite this site littered with posts on "how do I 'X' on my Tesla?", followed my the usual RTFM replies.

    Speeding ticket question

    Assuming typical muscle car vs EV/Tesla issue or that my car is red = fast and they wanted to mess with me, when I didn't it obviously pissed them off.

    Speeding ticket question

    I No idea, I was in the slow lane of a 2 line highway road. Not sure if it was because they had a muscle car and me an EV/Tesla, or because mine was red. In the past it was usually young kids wanting to race, but this was guys that looked to be in their late 20s/30s and only 10 at night. I...

    Speeding ticket question

    First of all, who's "we"? Secondly the 'Move Over Law' in MA clearly states "if safe to do so": https://www.mass.gov/info-details/move-over-law#:~:text=The%20Move%20Over%20Law%2C%20which,is%20safe%20to%20do%20so. which I couldn't as I was being blocked by said Camaro and a few others in front...

    I'm not sure what's confusing, my speed is locked at 70mph and that Camaro goes much faster, they followed me for a good 8 miles to no avail.

    I live in MA and AFAIK they don't offer any courses to reduce fines/points unforunately.

    Speeding ticket question

    No, my cell phone stays in my glove compartment when I drive and I still haven't figured out dashcam stuff tbh. I literally just drive it occasionally, I've never even tried my FSD or engaged EAP. This all happened in a matter of minutes yet seemed like forever, I've never once been in any type...

    Speeding ticket question

    Thank you for your service! My father-in-law was a retired Boston police officer, and the one piece of advice he had given me was: "Always comply, and never argue as they've heard it all. If you receive a citation that you disagree with, you can contest it in a court of law...that's what makes...

    Speeding ticket question

    Last Friday at 10pm returning home from a Super Charger and was getting both verbally and physically harassed randomly by some guys (late 20s to 30s) in a newer Camaro RS. They threw stuff at my vehicle, one even exited at a stop light to confront me. I was able to maneuver away but because...

    2018 MS, how to determine dash trim colour (screen bevel etc)

    Low Disk Space — Free Space to Restore Functionality

    I had the weirdest thing happen on my 2018 S, literally the very day/miles that my vehicle went out of the 1 year manuf. warranty, I got a USB error on my screen. But what was crazy is that while driving home from work a guy pulled up next to me to tell me that my rear lights were out. Mind you...

    Best front license plate bracket option

    As a fellow 2018 owner who bought a SnapPlate I can tell you their customer service is fantastic. Because they work using 2 latches that turn to lock behind the slats in the lower grill it can be somewhat tricky to get it to lock. I would come out every so often to my garage to grab my charger...

    Model S Purchase Timing

    There have been discussions that the S and X will receive the same interior lighting of the new 3 and Cybertruck much like they predict the Y is in line to also get. The only problem is they are entirely new pieces not simple add-ons. Indications are that is one of the reasons for the drastic...

    Interior Led Strips, when?

    My issue is that ever since they went to a dark headliner only on the S and X, it's rather cave-like and dark. The truth of the matter is that most cars of all price ranges at least offer something brighter than what Tesla offers. The fact they now offer it in the next M3 and is customizable...

    bubbling alcantara B panel (pre-facelift 2016)

    I have something like this on my 2018, I assume it's from the sunlight. I was thinking maybe I could apply some glue using a syringe carefully, like this: My only concern is that I have the cream interior so would have to apply sparingly to avoid bleed through staining.

    Need confirmation for seatbelt "boot"...

    While I was vacuuming out my 2018 MS I noticed at the base on my driver's side seatbelt that the rubber base had a square base flap on top of my carpeting, yet on my passenger side it was tucked in (untucked it to confirm it was there as well), and wanted to know if someone could confirm for me...

    SC Idle fee...??

    No, when I came back it was still charging, I pressed the handle to eject and it stopped. About an hour later I received a notification. Just chalked it up to Tesla gremlins, also had random issue where it wouldn't unlock from the charger even via the dash.

    SC Idle fee...??

    I charged my car yesterday at a SC for approx. 20 minutes, didn't even get to my 90% charge and yet received a notice of a "waived" idle fee despite not even fully charging. Has anyone had this happen to them, is this just a one-off error on their part? I went from 200 to 240 miles, far short of...

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    I watched this about an hour in (since Live I couldn't rewind on YouTube) and finally gave up on any new M3 pics/news as it appeared to be also a town meeting/investor presentation. The screengrab appeared to show a new 3 behind him but I still can't find anything.

    USB weird issue/problem

    I got it finally resolved by creating two exFAT partitions: 1 16gb one called TESLACAM w/a TeslaCam folder within, and another called MUSIC using the remaining space. What's funny is that formatting it within the car utilizes exFAT, yet documentation recommends FAT32 which in Windows only...

    USB weird issue/problem

    I've had a Samsung T7 1tb drive since I bought my 2018 S last Nov., and set it up from some instructions I saw online. Today I decided I'd load some FLAC music to my previously created "Music" folder but couldn't find USB in 'media'. Then I realized USB never showed as an option despite zero...

    Trade in value for 2015 S 85D with 83k miles

    I found out the hard way that their lowball offers are reflected on current inventory. I bought my 2018 100d w/EAP and 35k miles for $52k last Nov. when used vehicles were in demand, I got an alert for a p100d w/lower miles and was a 2019 w/FSD for only $5k more in March...and they offered me...

    Range question...

    I only have about 20 posts since buying it in Nov. and this was the first trip I've taken out of state with it. Up until then it was the first time I had ever even had under 100 miles of range left.

    Range question...

    I need someone to explain this to me like a child. Over Memorial Day we went from MA to Maine to open our lake home. When going home I had over 280 miles of range avail. for a 170ish mile return trip, and yet I was told to stop some 40 miles from home to charge, is it really accounting for over...

    OEM tan car mats where to buy?

    You simply request that you want to order them, and they "schedule a service" which means they will send you updates when they arrive at your dealer.

    Temperature increments...

    Question: just noticed today that my thumbwheel increments randomly go up or down in 2s, like from 62 to 64 in a click, yet for some reason it will show 65...then go 66, 68, 70, etc. Is it something to do with the Auto settings?

    Spotify interface questions...

    I have 2018 S and still trying to get used to the Spotify interface as it's somewhat different than mobile and PC imho. If I use voice search for an artist it only gives me their "radio" station that also includes similar artists. I've now figured out that in order to choose individual albums...

    Looking to buy Model S 21" SILVER twin turbine set

    See a bunch of carbon grey but never silver for some reason and Tesla actually stated they were special order and could get them but at a CRAZY price for rims only! I've seen one or two online via rim shops but not a complete set. I have a 2018 100d with the chrome trim so think the silver would...

    Dilemma: bought both wall charger and mobile charger...

    Update: So I bought the mobile kit with the extra 240v charger which allows me to charge at work, but at 32A it states it charges at 19 miles an hour and 203V, is that normal? This is a 2018 100d.

    Mine's pretty straightforward as the panel is in a basement and all of the wire would be travelling through my suspended ceiling then up the wall into the garage.

    Dilemma: bought both wall charger and mobile charger...

    Per the site it would only apply to the charger, as the install also needed to be done in 2022: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/personal-finance/ev-charger-tax-credit/#:~:text=You%20May%20Get%20Federal%20Tax,for%20a%20maximum%20of%20%241%2C000.

    Dilemma: bought both wall charger and mobile charger...

    So my company allows for the ability to use a 240v plug onsite, as of now I'm using the 110v charger plug in my garage with the hardwired (not plug-in adapter) 110v mobile charger, and bought the $400 wall charger last month. My electrician wants to charge me $1500 to run a 240v line from the...

    I can no longer recommend Tesla. Their Service is the Worst

    What happened? The Model 3, which became their mass adoption bread and butter for profitability. When the S was the only game in town from 2012-2016 they bent ass end over backwards to satisfy owners, then the same with Model X because the future of the company and good word of mouth relied on...
