I arrived at my in-laws with 10%. Unfortunately I could not start charging for about an hour. My SOC dropped to 4% in that hour! Sentry and HVAC off, ambient temperature about 55°F. Last hour of driving below 50 mph on non-Interstates with no hard accelerations. Battery should not have been...

A friend may be stopping by in his travel trailer, so I wanted to see if my Tesla wall charger could work with a TT-30, the standard 120V 30 A receptacle used in campgrounds. I have a string of adapters: NACS to J-1772 to 14-50 to 5-15 (or TT-30). I know a Wall Charger is 240 V, but thought...

About half dozen of nut covers have disappeared. Various Amazon ads mention different sizes and colors. Some say 3, Y, and S, but don’t mention X. Aren’t all Tesla lug nut covers the same? I have a 2018 X on stock 20” wheels. I also have the 19” snow tires.

My regular Tesla wall charger is not accessible for a few days due to some construction at my house. The nearest SC is about 50 miles. I have a Tesla to J-1772 (48 A) adapter and a J1772 to 14-50. Put those on the wall charger, then two 14-50 extension cords, then the travel charger. About 90...

2018 MX 92,000 miles, about 40% supercharged miles. Tried SC, no blue light, no charge. Tried another, then another — 6 in total. Last one finally worked. No comments on PlugShare. I was terrified my car would need a 100 mile tow. I doubt that 5 chargers were down. Now what?

I seem to wear out the stock tires too quickly. I tow a travel trailer a lot, and about to get my 4th set in 90k miles. I usually drive in chill mode, so no hard acceleration. I also have snow tires so I don’t need winter capability. I would prefer symmetrical tires; will those go on my stock...

I had a very loud unusual BEEP/KLAXON sound today. Nothing weird with traffic or driving, no message or graphic description, no phantom braking, no shadows or overpass, no autopilot. About half a second. Stopped for errand, about 10 minutes later same thing. The sound intensity was like a NYC...

Just for the heck of it I made a list of all my dongles. I tow a trailer with my X, and I visit a lot of friends who let me charge. Maybe I should talk to a shrink ... Tesla supplied charge adapters 5-15P 14-50P J1772R Other adapters 5-15P 5-20R 5-15P TT-30R TT-30P 14-50R 14-50P TT-30R 6-20P...

I want to use my hardwired Tesla home charger (version 1) as a NEMA 6-30 receptacle. I have a high power induction cooker. Note I am NOT asking how to power the home charger — it is already hardwired to a 90 A breaker. Can I buy a Tesla “receptacle” (the one on the car) and make a dongle...

After three years, I finally had my first successful Chademo charge on my 2018 100D. I have a bag of dongles, but still worried about being in the sticks and unable to charge. I often tow a travel trailer, so range is limited: best case 100-1% is a about 150 miles. Longest run was 154 miles...

I miss not having Lane Keeper available while towing. Any updates if it included with FSD? Will it be available with Cybertruck? There are good reasons to disable FSD while towing, but keeping the LK would improve safety. I have 2018 X 100 EAP.

I have the standard Contis on 20" rims. I just replaced the set, and one front tire is still usable as a spare. Any recommendations for a new front wheel which I could use front or back? i don't care if it matches, cheap steel preferred. I would be just for the driving back to a tire place. I...

I have replaced my OEM Contis once, and have gone through the 2nd set on my 2018 X100. I tow a lot, and went thru these in in just 18,000 miles. Anybody have a suggestion? I have a set of winter tires, so "all-season" not important. I live in Maine, towed to Big Bend TX this winter. What...

Most Uhaul trailers do not have tongue jacks. Usually not a problem for ICE vehicles, but can be a major problem for EVs that may have to unhitch to charge. I carry a small scissor jack. Doesn’t have to be strong since the tongue weight is less than 500 lbs if you have loaded your trailer...

Away from home. Can’t tow travel trailer. Took off trailer to Supercharge. After reconnecting trailer, all trailer lights stopped working. Also had low brake fluid errors, and brake pedal fully depressed much more than usual. Had red trailer icon, then changed to yellow. Cleaned all trailer...

Started 2 days ago and happened dozens of times. While driving display go to “off” (lower left), all warning icons light up, lane display changes to parked car, for about half second, then reverts to normal driving display. Display does not black out. No impact on driving, auto steer active...

I’m away and can activate car. She changed the battery on one fob. Deleted and reinstalled app. Rebooted phone. We verified multiple times the credentials. No joy. Car is charging now. Had new 12 battery installed less than a year ago. So two problems. 1) Neither fob works. I’ve asked her...

I have been towing my Safari Condo trailer and charging at RV campsites without issues. I made a reservation at a campground in Maine for a 50A site, and was told I couldn't charge at the pedestal but had to use another location next to the office, and there would be a $20 charging surcharge...

On maiden camping trip with 2018 100X towing a Safari Condo A2124. Had some intermittent 12 V issues earlier, which a new 12 V battery seems to have resolved. The 7 pin plug charges/connects the trailer and car batteries. On an ICE car, it trickle charges the trailer battery - generally a good...

Has anyone used a Y-connector with dual TT-30s, one on each phase? It should nominally deliver 30A at 240V, so charge at 24A. I could make one, and they have them for sale on Amazon. Yes, I know the setup is not to code/"legal", and one could touch a hot plug. That's not my question. Has...

Lightly used. Located in Maine, could deliver to Boston if not in a rush. $100 For Model X. Some came without towing options.

I’m having a lot of software issues the last few days 2020.47.30, 2018 100D GPS stopped reporting position for hours. Map appeared as normal. Rebooted multiple times (2 finger, 4 finger brake, total menu off). VERY long time to return from reboot, several minutes to 15 minutes every time. Also...

For about a week the firmware won't update. App says firmware available and downloaded, currently on 2020.48.12.1. Starting Software Update it goes through two minute countdown, then responds "Scheduled for Sunday 7:57 am" or whatever the current time (less two minutes) is. Done this at least...

I do not want the audio control window to pop up automatically and block the map. It pops up starting the car and during driving. If I wanted sound I know to to push the music icon. (I never want sound). How do I turn it off and stay off? I’ve muted the lower right icon, pushed the left...

I know a few years ago it wa not possible, but now has anything changed? Is it possible to add a removable 3rd row?

I have 2019.36.2.1 on a December 2018 X100D. I can’t find any way to enable one pedal driving. Is it available or only on a 3?

Tried to initiate dog mode with charge at 88%. All buttons grayed out with message stating charge must be over 20% Rebooting with scroll wheels no effect. Complete shut down did not fix. Has happened twice, then works a few hours later.

I've read some (many?) truck stops have power for running their reefers (refrigerated trailers) and keeping their engine off while sleeping. Does anyone know if this is practical for recharging our cars, especially with a trailer in tow? What plug converter is needed?

I have two HPWC chargers in two houses. Both work fine at 72 amps. One has the dripping green lights when charging, the other just a constant green. Anybody know why?

I think one of my front tires is installed wrong. The treads are squiggly on one side and straight on the other outside. My guess the left tire was remounted on the wheel backwards. Comments?

I get tired of hearing from the stay at home commuters proselytizing how wonderful slow charging is. I normally use either a 64 A or 72 A Tesla charger, and sometimes Superchargers. So maybe I'm "spoiled". I rolled into a friend's home, who has a 6-50 outlet, after a 400 mile road trip (One SC...

4 of there were in frunk, wrapped in plastic, when delivered. About 4x6 inches. Any ideas?
