    QI Charging DIY

    How did you route the usb cables? Can you be more specific on where you plugged them in? Any pictures? The front ports Do Not work with this setup. It charges for a few seconds and then disconnects. You need to route it to the 12v in the center console and use a quick charge adapter for this...

    QI Charging DIY

    Need help! I bought the same Qi charge pads for my Model 3 and they don’t work because the USB port in the center console is only .5amp. Can you please be more specific how you routed the chargers?

    Cabin noise comparison: 12/2017 Model S vs 1/2018 Model 3

    So yesterday I noticed an odd noise coming from the air vents driver side in my Model 3 at high speeds over 75mph. It sounds like wind noise coming thru the air vents and into the hvac system. I tried recording it but the noise isn’t discernible from the road and wind noise in the video. It’s...

    Tesla Model 3 Down: Won't Power Up, and is Inaccessible

    Please keep us posted on the diagnosis. I’m a 3000 vin east coast Model 3 owner as well so want to make sure I’m aware of any issues. Pretty amazing if Tesla is still having 12v issues. I thought I recently read that the Y would lose the 12v. I think that would solve a lot of these issues. My...

    Model 3: TuneIn Radio Problems

    Hi All, Luving my 3 even more than my 2013 S but do have one early frustration which is the stability of the tune in programming. My stations seem to have a lot more loading errors than the S did. Ie a station will play then pause 30 seconds later and continuously pause. Also for some reason...

    High Frequency Receiver? Service needed twice within first 2 weeks

    One thing I learned about the 3 that is different from the S is there is no WiFi yet enabled for home connectivity when in a garage so that could be it. If you have a weak 4g signal at home any update of stream to the car can have issues connecting. I noticed this when i picked up my 3 2 weeks...

    Tax Bill and EV Tax Credit Discussion

    So sad to think our government can’t do the right thing and support innovation and green energy. This is partisan politics at its worst. There is FINALLY some progress in E.V. technology and adoption that could lead a healthier economic revolution yet these idiots in congress cant put practical...

    Want to buy 2013 Tesla model S

    I am expecting to receive a Model 3 by February so will be selling my MS. I will be selling my Dolphin Grey MS60, one of the first 4K Tesla’s made. This is a unique color which is no longer made. She has 56,000 miles currently and charges to 180miles at 90% charge or @200miles at 100% charge...

    Help plan Long Island to Washington DC in an X 60D?

    No issues. I have an early 2013 MS60 and driven all over the east coast with my fam from NJ. Superchargers are close enough not to think twice. It does make sense to plan your route in advance via EV trip Planner online or use the new app. The only major variables to watch out for are super...

    Model X 90D Midnight Silver (fully loaded)

    I'm in NJ and looking for a deal on an MX but think your offer is way too high. You have to deduct the fed tax credit of 7500 from your cost which gets you to 110k and then you need to depreciate at least 25% for 18k miles. Ballpark I think you're looking at approx 82k. No one is paying up for...

    Supercharger - Brattleboro, VT

    Are there any public chargers closer to Mt Snow? Does anyone know where I can charge in the Mt Snow Area? I think if I had a charge there I would be good to go. If I drive from paramus new superahrger to Albany I won't have a problem. It's only 137 miles. So the only concern is getting back...

    Supercharger - Brattleboro, VT

    MT Snow Trip Hi All, I am planning my second trip to Mt Snow this Feb 19 and want to drive my MS60 from NJ. Last year I couldn't try it given range and had to take my wife's ice suv, but now with Albany supercharger up and Brattleboro coming soon I'm thinking I could make it work. Appreciate...

    MS60 Family Trip from NJ to Hilton Head, SC

    Thanks to everyone for their feedback. It seems to me that since all the chargers are <150 miles it should be doable without range anxiety. I have had my MS for over a year and 15k miles, have never travelled farther than 150 mies on a trip so have yet to try a supercharger. NJ has been far...

    MS60 Family Trip from NJ to Hilton Head, SC

    I am hoping to take my family in my MS60 this summer to Hilton Head, SC and would like to hear from some of you who have used the supercharger east coast network. Is this reasonable without too much range anxiety? If its too close a call with 2 youn children I will just fly, but thought it...

    Vendor GetYourWheels - Avant Garde Wheels for the Tesla Model S!

    Get your wheels rocks! I had been searching extensively for months to find the right 20" wheels to fit my MS 60 and the forums were very helpful. Trying to figure out the right wheel configuration and tire size is critical, since Tesla won't supply alternative configurations. After months of...

    Another Tesla fire in a garage, this time in Toronto

    Does it look as if the firemen are focused on lower left front of the car? Isnt that where the 12V battery is? I have never taken my nose cone off so not sure. Anyone know the location of the 12v? That is my guess as well.

    Supercharger - Guilderland, NY

    Sorry I'm a bit confused. If j1772 can draw 80amps why do I need twin on board chargers to use this sun charger at 80amps? Thx

    Supercharger - Guilderland, NY

    Thanks so much for this. I was planning to use but dont have twin chargers so the closer one at Holiday Inn Express is more likely. I needed to factor in the charge time so your info is very helpful. Thanks again! Someone should clarify that on the plugshare app.

    New 20" Wheels & Tires

    Scratch that. Sorry I see you pics now at the top of the thread. Looks great! Did you consider 255/35'S at all? I just feel the 21" tesla wheel/ tire combo looks much better than the 19" wheels. In particular I'm not a fan of the larger sidewall and the fact that the tire/ wheels don't have...

    Rust on Brake Rotors

    My MS is just over 10k miles and I'm loving it! One of the few problems, albeit minor, I've noticed constant rust buildup on the rotors. Does everyone else notice this? Perhaps it's the earlier vins. It seems to come off when I take to the car wash but curious if there is anything to prevent...

    Forgestars Congrats! Curious to see pics when you get them. What color is your ms? I'm considering the same wheel on my grey MS. I'm not a wheel expert so don't know all these specs. Do you know if the stock good years will fit in that same staggered configuration or do you need to have...

    Powder Coating Wheels

    Cool! Thanks. I think a direct side view of the entire car, not at an angle, really shows off the wheels. It just seems to me they designed the MS for a 21 inch wheel. It's less for me about the size of the wheel, just performance and looks that matter. In my opinion there's too much empty...

    NYT article: Stalled on the EV Highway

    As far as I see it, this is slanted journalism. Broder is a compete idiot and was clearly only out to try to prove something negative about Tesla. He's an idiot because every Tesla owner knows to charge overnight especially in extreme cold and there was no reason for him to drive it until it...
