I was thinking gas fumes while filling up

I was thinking grandmother's 102nd birthday. Carrying cake with lit candles to her house.

Seems legit. On my wife's grandmother's 80th we made the mistake of putting 80 candles on the cake. The convective draw had flames shooting a foot high and set off all the smoke alarms.

Someone mentioned to me that this was actually the second Tesla to have a problem in Norway in the last three months. The first Tesla car produced smoke that died out when the supercharger was disconnected from the car. This occurred while charging the car during cold conditions. Does anyone know anything about this?

It's in this thread.

Over time i've read all 50 pages of this thread, but don't recall reading about the "smoking" Tesla. Would you please be so kind as to refer me to the post number that discusses it. Thanks.

You did click on the link I provided? That thread is only 2 pages long...

Thank you. I did not see the very slight color change of the word "this" to indicate it linked to the requested info. Maybe thats because I have had 4 retina detachments and thus require larger than normal color contrast differences. Same reason it is difficult to see the "ticks" on the speedometer of the Tesla since upgrading to V7.1. Thanks again.

TMC has long needed a VIN validation process in order to post.

Non-owners are unwelcome? Well, that will certainly thin out the Model 3 subsection.

That's basically impossible to implement. Only Tesla could do something like this on their forum.

No, they aren't unwelcome.
Posts made by someone with a VIN are labeled as such.
It is a nice system, I like it, although the rest of their forum is awful :crying:

Why dont you suggest a high contrast display mode to Tesla. This would be pretty easy to implement and could be of benefit to those with certain vision impairments not serious enough to prevent driving.
