    Lost my Start Charging and Stop Charging buttons in app

    All that I wanted to do was to start charging my car when the solar panels were producing enough power and stop when the solar power wasn't enough to power my house and the car. I only want to charge my car with solar power and not have to pay for grid power to charge my car.

    Lost my Start Charging and Stop Charging buttons in app

    I figured it out. There is a tiny lightning bolt to the right of the miles remaining indicator. I tapped on that lightning bolt and the window that I am used to seeing with amp adjustiments and Start and Stop charging buttons reappeared. WHEW!!!

    Lost my Start Charging and Stop Charging buttons in app

    I have a 19.2kW solar array and get lots of power but I don't want to use the grid for charging at all. I want my charging to happen between 12pm and 3pm when my solar panels can charge the car and I use zero power from the grid.

    Lost my Start Charging and Stop Charging buttons in app

    I unlocked by tapping the lock and that works. When I tap on the lightning bolt it continues charging. I also lost my ability to adjust the rate of charge the charging amp adjusting button is also gone. I used to alter the rate to trickle charge on cloudy days when I wasn't pulling in as much...

    I will try that again. It hasn't worked yet but maybe I didn't give it enough tine. Thanks.

    Lost my Start Charging and Stop Charging buttons in app

    I updated to FSD 2023.27.6 and now my app doesn't show the Start charging and Stop Charging buttons. My car is about 200 ft away in my Garage and this was convenient to allow me to manually control charging times. I recently put solar in and I do not want the grid to charge my car, I want to...

    Scheduled charging versus off peak end

    Touche'. I may as well put Siri to work...I paid enough for her. I am learning that energy management is a big part of having a solar system and it does make you feel good when you are proactive when trying to get the electric bill as close to zero as possible. Hey Siri, bring me a beer...

    Scheduled charging versus off peak end

    People that have invested in a Tesla and a home solar energy system should have an easy option to be able to schedule charging with on and off features. Being that Tesla is in the solar business also I am quite surprised that they have not included a stop time in the charging. Retired Tesla...

    This scam is particularly troubling. I fell for it also and it has me smiling from ear to ear.

    Taking delivery of my Model S today but.....

    Okay...I admit it. .I was whining over something stupid. I was grateful to have the Rangers bring my car to me and I am totally thrilled. The Car is BEAUTIFUL. I received it at 7:20 pm this evening and got to park it in the garage and doodle with some of the settings. I can't wait to take...

    Taking delivery of my Model S today but.....

    So I am supposed to receive my Model S today but Tesla did not have a way to haul it down here and a third party carrier would take 7 to 10 days to deliver it to me. I am a little over 200 miles away from the San Antonio Tesla location and was asked permission for them to drive the car to me...

    Has Model S quality improved?

    I am one of the original Model S owners. I received my Model S in December, 2012 and thought that I would pitch in my two cents. I never had any problems with Tesla service and the only comment that I can make about improvement....well, it certainly has improved since the 2012 models with...

    Selling my 2012 Red Signature Series Model S P85 (low mileage)

    I would like to add (clarify) that the main car battery is only warranted for 8 years from the date of delivery. In this case my battery warranty is active through January, 2021, (the extended warranty does not include the main battery).

    Selling my 2012 Red Signature Series Model S P85 (low mileage)

    My MCU failed (The computer brains of the car) so I raised heck with them and they made an exception and said that if I purchased the extended warranty now that they would replace the MCU and touch screen under the new warranty. I guess as a Signature Series owner I may have been given a little...

    Wind Noise

    I have a Signature series Model S and it has had wind noise from the beginning. I always thought that it came from the glass panoramic roof not sealing properly when closed. It sounds like it is coming from the front right corner of the pano glass. If there is a TBB I would really like to see...

    PowerWall and "The Missing Piece..." Event

    I was out of power for about 18 hours after a thunderstorm swept through our area the other day. Had it been the middle of Summer I would have paid top dollar for a backup battery. From what I understand this battery will supply a house with power for a couple of days during an outage. I also...

    PowerWall and "The Missing Piece..." Event

    But....autopilot features are not retrofittable to older Model S vehicles. I'm confused....what did Elon mean by, "One of the things is already there, and people just don't realize it.". I wouldn't say that I am disappointed with the "D" unveiling but I was expecting something like autopilot...

    Create a New TMC Category for Discussion - ELON MUSK

    Being that we all are interested in the activities of Elon Musk...(I know that I read anything that mentions his name and see most all shows that highlight him)...shouldn't there be a category in the TMC forums dedicated to the news, activities, discussions, etc. of Elon Musk? We all love our...

    Inside Tire Wear, my take

    I had to get new rear tires at 8K miles and every time that I think of this....I think about trading in my Model S for something else. Do you think that the software change disabling the low setting of the air suspension during lowering on acceleration will change the tire wear? I am somewhat...

    How Many Owners Would Buy Again, Given the latest fire information?

    The tire wear is not on the bottom of the tire....it occurs on the inside sidewall....VERY dangerous if unnoticed. Tire wear on the sidewall in my mind is unacceptable.

    How Many Owners Would Buy Again, Given the latest fire information?

    I question my purchase of the Model S ... not due to the news on the fires but because of my personal experience with the tire wear on the inside tread of my rear tires. I could have easily gone without replacing the tires and ended up in a blowout at high speed but I was lucky. A couple in a...

    Inside tire wear problem sends my Model S in for service

    I need to get back into reading the forum more often! I didn't realize that this was a common issue....I guess that I will have to get new tires more often than I originally thought. I have 8017 miles on my car and the tires are 21 inch Continentals.

    Inside tire wear problem sends my Model S in for service

    I was parked at a shopping center parking lot and a couple of people pulled up next to me as I was leaving and told me that my rear tire looked really low. I got out to check it out and it did seem a little low...not flat...but I thought that it would be a good idea to check it out. There is a...

    P85 Loaner Cars! Sweet!!

    Yes...same thing happened to me. I received a call today from Tesla service and was told that they needed to perform some upgrades and take care of some technical service bulletin items on my Model S. They asked if I had another vehicle to drive while my Model S was in the shop. I asked why I...

    What kind of car is that? TESLA! Who makes it?

    The third question I have received a few times is, "Is this an Italian car or something"? The best event was when a ~ ten year old kid came out of a store just gawking at my Tesla. He yelled out at his dad who was a few steps ahead of him, "Hey dad, come check out this SUPER car". His father...

    Audio: Sound System Quality?

    I was relatively satisfied with my sound system but have noticed that the "punch" is not there anymore. I recently did the 4.3 upgrade and received my shelf last week and installed it the same day. I don't know what the difference is, but my sound quality has definitely deteriorated. I have...

    Firmware 4.2

    I was updated straight from 1.15.XX to 4.2 and have noticed that Homelink works most every time that I have used it. I am now paying attention to the results to see if it fails every now and then but have not seen it screw up yet. In the version prior to 4.2 it seldom worked properly.
