I know this is a bit more of a Pixel problem than a Tesla problem, but the Pixel 6/6 Pro series of phones are very...picky when it comes to wireless charging, and generally only works well/reliably with specific chargers and wireless charging standards (EPP). I have had both an older and newer...

My model 3 connects to wifi in my garage and has always just downloaded software updates automatically from there. I've noticed for the past SEVERAL weeks, it has had the orange "downloading" icon, but it never actually completes and prompts me to update. Finally after noticing this for weeks, I...

Hey there, I was looking around to see if any of the various wireless charging pads were on sale for black friday. There is.....a LOT of variation in prices, but I can't really tell if there's any variation in features/quality. Jeda's wireless charging pad is $99 (Jeda Wireless Pad | Tesla...

These are probably basic questions so I apologize in advance, but super appreciative of any input! 1. Telsa used to have a link on the account page where you could see recommended local electricians. Since the site re-design I've not been able to find that...is that available somewhere or have...

I know this is going to be old news to most of you here, but I made a road trip largely using autopilot for the first time and wanted to share my experience/thoughts and see if they're consistent with the general consensus of other AP users. 1. Drove up from San Diego to LA mostly using...

I just got my model 3 (hooray!) white exterior, white interior. I've always LOVED white/black combos inside cars because its so clean and futuristic looking. I'm currently buying some accessories and of course one of the first things I want is a console wrap. I find myself incredibly torn...

So I'm scheduled to trade in my Model S on Thursday (need a smaller car so getting a 3) so this is a really bad time to have a significant mechanical failure.... I rolled down my back-driver's side window just a few minutes ago for a second. Hit the button to roll it back up and it makes a...

It was pretty obvious near the end of Q1 / Q2 that Tesla was getting desperate to sell as many cars as humanely possible, and it seemed like there was something popping up every few days to try to entice more people to order new cars. Is there any indication that any initiatives will launch...

I currently have a model S (RWD). I still have tons of fun driving it and love it, but being someone who is always reading the latest tech news, and seeing every new feature roll out, and wanting the latest and greatest, I find myself just wishing I had the extra power/features of a more...

Hi folks, I have a model S (standard old RWD version) and am considering trading in for a M3 since I need a smaller call to manage my new driveway/garage. I looooooooove EVs for the sensation of torque they offer on acceleration. I know my RWD model S isn't even near top of the Tesla power...

I currently have a model S with the standard suspension (w/o smart air suspension option). I unfortunately recently moved to a new house with a very steep driveway and my Model S scrapes (lightly, but still - over time not great). I've been in the market looking around for a slightly upgraded...

I was poking around Tesla's site today and noticed the redesign of the account page. I can't say I love it but it at least makes things simple I suppose (though it shows my car as a blue front fascia redesign when it's a black-nosecone but whatever). One thing I noticed was that instead of the...

This is just an open question I'm throwing out to the experts of this forum. I keep hearing discussion of the MCU1->MCU2 upgrade and why it should happen, why it won't happen, why it can't happen, etc. It made me think about how many Model S's Tesla has on the road from pre-2018 MCU update, or...

So I get into my car this afternoon and notice this on the upper left portion of the MCU screen: This wasn't here yesterday and I can only assume it's a bubble formed by....excessive heat? What I don't understand is that yes it is hot in San Diego right now but it's certainly not the first...

I just had my tires switched out at the service center last week (replaced the old 5-spoke 19" with some slipstreams). They put the old tires in my trunk and now that I've had them sitting at home the past few days I realize......I have absolutely no use for them what so ever. They're not in...

So I have an unfortunate situation where I have a Model S without adaptive suspension, and I just bought a house with a poorly designed driveway that makes it impossible to clear certain parts of it without some minor scraping on the bottom of the car. I've had a loaner car for a few days...

Love what Tesla is doing with Arcade mode (or arcade app or whatever its called). I think it opens up cool partnerships and potentially encourages developers to find cool new ways to use the screen and controls inside the car. Has there been any word though if this is coming to cars with MCU1...

I purchased some gently-used 19" slipstreams to replace my 19" 5-spoke OEM ones. Will Tesla SC install these for me if I make an appointment and take it to them? If so, anyone know about how much they'd charge for that service? If not, I was worried that some tire shops / auto shops may not...

Just purchased my first home and was excited to have a real garage that I can install my very own HPWC in. I finally got a chance to drive down to the garage and discovered that because of the slope of the (very) steep driveway and where it meets the street, there's essentially no way to avoid a...

This question is out of my ignorance of wheels in general so please forgive me if this is obvious. My car is a 2013 MS with just stock 19" wheels. I see someone on facebook selling some low-use, great-condition, 19" slipstreams for a really great price (at least I think it's a great price -...

I had been trying gently to nudge my Dad into trying out a Tesla for a while now (also really wanted to get the May bonus referral credit) and after trying out a Model 3 for a day when in Hawaii last week, he made the plunge and ordered one! He called me today and told me he had to cancel it :(...

Hi everyone! I'm finally moving out of the renting world and buying my first place. One of things I'm most excited about is just owning my own garage that I can install a charger and stop relying on the 120v outlet that I've been using to charge my car when at my apartment currently. As far as...

I've had my used Model S for 4 months now so I'm still a bit hyper aware of anything that may need to be checked out while I still have warranty (+extended service agreement), so I apologize if this is a dumb question. I recently had my drive unit replaced because it was making the milling...

So it's starting to get warm in SoCal and I'm running the AC more often in my car. I noticed a few weeks ago when I'd set the A/C up to 6 or more I'd get this loud buzzing sound coming from the front of the car and kind of vibrating throughout the cabin. It was so loud I thought I was passing a...

This last weekend I drove my MS up to LA (from San Diego) and back and stopped at 3 different superchargers during that round trip. Each time I did I noticed that probably 80% of the Teslas at these superchargers didn't have front license plates (and they were California cars). Mine stuck out...

So this may be an extremely dumb question, but my model s is 2013. My climate screen just has 1 temperature setting which, I assume, is for the entire car. I had a loaner model S a few weeks back that was a 2018 and it had separate temp/climate controls for the driver and passenger side. I...

I have Gen1 seats in my MS and I think they are totally fine and comfortable for driving. However....after seeing some Teslas with the new seats, I realize that the Gen1 seats look pretty flat and sad a little compared to the newer seats. Since I assume getting new seats is probably very...

I currently just charge my car with the mobile charger when I'm at home (I don't want to bother my building manager with the complexity of installing a wall charger), but I found someone selling an unopened Elon- signature home charger for $430 nearby. I don't think I'd honestly use it until I...

I took my 2013 MS 60 RWD into a service center and they're keeping it for a few days to put in a new drive unit and seals around the windows and such. While it's being worked on they gave me a loaner car. A 2018 S75 (AWD) with only 12,000 miles on it. I have found it fascinating to compare the...

I've always loved the vertical screen in the model S MCU. Something about it is so James-bond-y in how it faces the driver and has so many functions built it. It also just feels very unique to Tesla because where else are you going to find a 17 inch vertical touch screen like that? That said...

I have had my MS for about 2 months, it is a 2013 but luckily for me has the 4-year Extended Service Agreement intact. Poking around various threads on this forum I see people mentioning reaching out to SC's and getting quotes about various upgrades or replacements, or asking them questions...

My Model S (2013) seems to have very audible wind noise coming from the driver's side when driving above 70 mph (and getting significantly louder at 75+). It is kind of like the sound that you would hear if the window was just slightly cracked open at that speed, but I've felt all along the...

Hey folks, first time on this forum, was encouraged to come here from another EV forum. I am wanting a car with more EV range than my BMW i3 and have discovered there's a huge market of amazing looking used model s's in my area. Most are from the 2013 - ish year. I for some reason got that...
