    So Why Again?

    So Tesla is taking refresh steps that save Tesla money. They have removed the stalks. They have changed the screen orientation to landscape rather than portrait. They have brought the vent system over from the 3/Y. They have brought over the heat pump from the Y. They have changed the front...

    Sound System - How?

    How is it possible in 2020 that Tesla is producing cars that cannot remember what was playing when the car was turned off? Not only which song was playing but the car does not even remember what source was being used? This is not rocket science and should be pretty simple for a software...

    Why Convex Wheels

    I know there must be a reason that so many manufacturers have factory wheels that protrude beyond the wheel. Seems like a no brainer to me to use concave wheels. Can anyone explain the logic of convex wheels. With that being said I am looking at Ace Alloy Gray Mica wheels to replace the...

    Purpose of Cabin Overhet Protection?

    I have long thought Cabin Overheat Protection was for the effect of high temperatures on the electronics. But many cars have electronics even though not to the extent of Teslas. So is the COP for the comfort of drivers returning to their cars or for the protection of electronics? My car is not...

    Cabin Overheat Protection

    Just checked my Tesla app and it showed the interior temp at 132 degrees. I have cabin overheat protection turned on (just double checked). Any ideas what might cause it to not operate?

    DRL's always on?

    Is there a setting to keep DRL's on whenever you are driving? Don't live where they are required but want them on whenever driving. I know I can keep headlights on and dRL's will be on but I want DRL's without headlights during the day.

    1st Visit to Service Center

    Last week had first rain in a month here in Pensacola, FL. Noticed driver side windshield wiper going about an inch too far, just past the windshield. Got on app and made an appointment at SC for 1030. Only after I made appointment did I realize I already had an 11 o'clock appointment at a...

    Raining While Charging

    I have been reading this forum since November and do not remember seeing this question. I read the manual's entire section on charging and found nothing about charging in the rain. I did a search and again no answers. I have a 14-50 waterproof outlet installed on the exterior of my house. I...

    Tesla Safe in What Depth of Water

    So watching the coverage of the flooding in and around Houston makes me wonder how much water is safe for a Tesla. How deep would standing water be for a Tesla to safely cross? I know not to drive into water whose depth is not known. If car parked how deep would water be before a Tesla's...

    Sleeping On AP - Elephant in the Room

    In the last week or two there have been two incidents on national news where two Tesla drivers were filmed apparently sleeping while driving. Terrible idea whether they chose to or they drifted off. But the part few, if any, are talking about is those who fall asleep in ICE cars. I have...

    New Service Center in Pensacola

    I recently saw that Tesla had opened a service center in Pensacola where I live. I went there today as I had never seen an X in person. They had 3 or 4 waiting for service in the parking lot in front of a warehouse looking building with no Tesla branding visible. An employee came out and...

    5 Seat Raven HVAC

    Have seen many posts about early 5 seaters having inadequate A/C for the back seat. Have only seen one post from a Raven 5 seater who said A/C was good for the back seat. Has anybody identified a change to the HVAC associated with Raven? I only need 5 seat but have thought of spending extra...

    Fix The Six Seater!

    I am so close to buying a MX but can't quite get over the seating choices. I want the six seater but so far am balking at buying an SUV that cannot fold the second row. If I buy the 7 seater the third row is useless or uncomfortable for anything but a couple miles. Tesla needs to add armrests...

    National Standard for "Travel" Charging

    I think we have big elephant in the room as we discuss supercharging and its availability. The elephant is the lack of a national standard. Imagine if you had to choose your refueling stop for an ICE vehicle based on whether the pump was the right shape to fit your gas tank. Or if you had to...

    Lurker Hoping to Buy

    I live over 300 miles away from the 3 closest galleries/service centers according to the maps on the Tesla site. Does Tesla have approved service centers or service shops in other locations? 300 miles plus seems like a long way for simple service issues. I live in Pensacola Florida and will...
