EDIT: To be clear I'm talking about the Tesla app in the car that allows you to make calls on your phone. Not the app on the phone that lets you open the car and control some of the car's features. When I open the phone app and go to these tabs it sits there spinning saying it is preparing to...

This apparently isn't a known issue, rare enough that it wasn't showing up on Tesla's CS knowledge database and they sent out a Ranger just to make sure I hadn't gotten drunk and accidentally put a screen protector on and forgotten about it. Or they didn't believe me that I'd be able to identify...

Second time this week I’ve come across a public DC with an unusable plug looking like this. In both cases there was an J-1772 option next to it, and this time a DC too, so I was able to charge. But the J-1772 was slower and also I’ve charged next to others charging at one of these locations...

My car's supposed to finally get this fixed, but for the last month its clock has been 1hr behind. It happened on my trip through the Prairies. I'd come up through ND to SK, then to AB, back to SK, and then through MB and Western ON before turning South and returning to Houston. ((incidentally...

Finally the moaning can end.....er, move on to the price of the required adaptor (and of course "where's Type 1 CCS support!!!!11!1" :p).

Into the black. Okay, let’s do this.

First off; All this happened on a closed course is Mexico, so we don't need to hear any chatter about that. So yesterday I felt empathy for @AlanSubie4Life , who's vehicle is currently on 2019.12.1. He's torn about whether on not to update or not, he's got a patch downloaded and primed I think...

I just got an email from Tesla that this is now open.

I'll be there. Weather forecast is looking good....although driving in the rain is fun, too. :) Log In For this event they've added a SCCA PAX section thing for "those not concerned with actual time". This is new for them, I assume you just let them know whether or not your Model 3 is a...

I was out early morning making a left corner at an "intersection" [on a non-public road]. Not certain of the speed but it'd be under 30mph, turn was a 90, no road line markings, and the vehicle threw up an error and it maybe felt like something happened with the front wheels. Road was dry...

Send it!

Kinda confusing & awkward to use. Also seems it might create some traffic congestion in the area?

If you've been considering getting your Model 3 out to a track day, or a weekend for HPDE, at Houston MSR but were concerned about your battery SOC there is now a solution. A Tesla wall charger on a 60A breaker, capable of providing full L2 current for a Long Range Model 3. You can get private...

Looking for others to show up and join me for a little fun with your car. The concept is that you drive what is best termed a "street course", where the organizers have set up a 40 second to 1 minute course by marking it out with dozens of orange safety cones in a large open, flat area. The...

I can't speak with direct knowledge of their wine selection, and I'm not sure I have room in my schedule to attend this myself, but I'm putting up here as they were nice enough to DM me to let me know about the Destination Charger opening before it appeared on Tesla's in-vehicle map. This is...

When the "+5%" patches came out I saw that someone was reporting readings direct from their Model 3 of the kW being drawn from the battery. It was stated they were using the "API". Is this the one Teslafi et al use? What do I need to do to get to this raw data? Does one of these 3rd party apps...

So this happened: I've got more pics I'll post later, when I've got some time, with some details of before they were turned to clean them up (two passes of 2/1000") and the husks of the MPP Mill Street pads that died saving them. The pads actually had a lot of meat left on them but the adhesive...

This is meant as temporary, I'm working to get the track owners to get a Destination charger or two in, but it is 11.5kW. The gear in mine (don't tell my wife our HPWC is there! :p ) but the electrical service isn't mine and I haven't talked to them yet about others using it as I wasn't sure if...

I know @MountainPass and @UnpluggedP both have coil-over kits. However, in its unfathomable infinite wisdom SCCA has allowed Solo Street class cars to have the factory shocks substituted with something materially better, including double adjustable dampers, as long as they attach to the car's...

But the magnet patch I got wouldn't stick to either the front or the back door, so I assume they're aluminum. Had to stick it on the front quarter panel, placed above the side camera. In a related matter; Whose house? Run's house! Whose house? Run's house! Some underestimate and...

I'm not ready yet to have a 3rd set of wheels, so two sets in storage, so I'd like to AX on the same tires as I track. Top tier on AX are the RE71R, partly because they warm into their traction zone so quickly. However some concerns about how fast The Bridgestone RE71R will wear when heated up...

I wasn't sure if it belonged in Dynamics or here, so I'm adding a link here in case anyone ever does a Search limited to this sub-forum for "CG Lock". Oops, my angle grinder slipped and went off

This is NOT a recommendation or a "how to". However it is something that happened and I took pictures, so I'll share them here. Govern yourself accordingly. To help keep my ample butt in a fixed location during high G maneuvers I ordered a CG Lock. Unfortunately it turns out the front buckles...

MountainPass mentions here they now exclusively left foot brake. I've tried it a bit in the past and had some difficulties with it, and I'm trying it again now. Ironically not really the braking part and transition from accelerator to brake and back, that feel pretty natural quickly. I like it...

I'm looking at getting on the track at COTA some time this year. Given the distance to the Austin SC, on-site charging to supplement makes it far easier to get time running at a respectable SOC (>70%). Has anyone here had recent experience using their NEMA 14-50 RV outlets, and can give an idea...

Has anyone confirmed roughly what the P or non-P AWD efficiency rate is at high speeds, between 160kph and 200kph (100-124mph)? I went through a few videos, particularly that guy that did the Autobahn last year. But that was RWD and also he only did averages that included a number of slower...

I'm trying to use a Motive brake bleeder tank and having a hard time getting a seal to be able to pressurize. Besides a threaded cap and huge two-hole block adaptor, the Motive kit comes with a "universal" cap, which is basically a cap over a thick rubber stopper with a hole in the middle that...

Three cheers for "limited success" on a few sandwich-run fronts! Hip-hip-huzzah! This was a mostly sunny day after rain until near sunrise, and temperatures around 8C following days of even cooler temperatures. It rose to perhaps 12C ambient at the point it was time to head to the store. Thus...

I expect it'll be a very small number, if any, that'll fit over the brake calipers. Related question, does the AWD have the exact same clearance for rims as the RWD?

I want to transport a set of 4 wheels in my backseat secured so as not to be a safety concern in the event of a Bad Wrong driving event. I currently am doing this by seat belting in 2 wheels per side, running the belt through the spokes of two pairs of wheels front to front. However it is very...

Prologue: I haven't posted the Tesla Cam's footage I captured last month. I might still to see if someone else can find value in it, but I didn't find it particularly useful. Due to technical difficulties/biological input errors I only captured one trip to the store and I believe I only did the...

I'm not sure exactly what happened, trying to get my head around it and I didn't have a camera operating so I don't have speed or visuals or audios on this, just my impressions and split second memories. I'm at home and hungry so decide to head out to the store for a peanut butter and jelly...
