All Discussion re: Tesla Motors Website & Forums

As a favor to those of us who enjoy TMC? :wink:

For the win.

Seems logical that the forum is down. Did you all notice the MyTesla page is completely redone. The last time they did that, the forum was down for a few days. They're probably just updating it.

 

[GHammer]

No, It's not the end of the world but some of us prefer the very light (almost none) moderation Tesla Motors Forum. Yes the format is limiting but so what.

And yet you're here.

Seriously, hope your preferred forum is up and running shortly. I'm sure it will be.

So, I would like to post my very positive Tesla thought in the face of many who are complaining about the Company, their forum being down etc, and here it is: I still get so excited every time I'm about to get in the car and drive it anywhere!

There is a (non-working) link to the forums - if you go to Support and then click on Software Updates, the link is at the top of the page along with links to Ordering, Delivery, and Owners.

The My Tesla page appears to be a step backward - with less information. At the top of my page is "Your Service Center Inspection" - which is an appointment for last November. There used to be a link to the forums on the My Tesla page - but that's gone, along with the extended service/warranty information (which I purchased with my P85 3 years ago).

The forum maintenance is supposed to last 48-72 hours from 9PM PST 1/30. That means it should be up by 9PM PST tonight, but of course there is Tesla time to consider.

 

[bhzmark]

That forum sucks. Hope it doesnt come back. Signal:noise ratio is unbearable.

...I dream of someday having a life where the planned downtime of a free car forum is high on my list of things to be upset about. #LifeGoals

The manuals are gone from the MyTesla page too. Probably temporary.

Good lord man

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ohmman again.

And let me chime in that I have yet to be offered a long term warranty or service plan for Model X at My Tesla.

Come on Tesla, there is money to be made!

LOL, sorry, just have to laugh at this thread. My god, the horror, an internet forum is down. For what will we do? How about GO OUTSIDE PEOPLE!! There's a real world out there!! I promise, it's a pretty amazing world. Get away from the computer and go enjoy it!!!

 

[4SUPER9]

Has anybody found the TM forum yet? I can only find a link to the blog.

 

[pvogel]

It's down for a few days, likely for them to switch to real forum software.

That would be a nice change.

I'd been using Chrome for browsing for the last several years, and because of support issues on a couple of sites, I've had to switch, and I started using Firefox. Everything seems fine with the switch except the Teslamotors website. The formatting is awful. If I open it up in chrome it looks fine, but Firefox has fonts in all different sizes and placement of things in strange locations, just all screwed up in the formatting. I'm wondering if it is some setting in my browser or if others have this issue with their site? It seems to be the only site I have this issue with. Strange.

I have no issues with any browser.

Perhaps the issue is with your Firefox, maybe some add-on or extension causing the problem. Try going into tools, add-ons and install a new theme, see what happens. Keep trying until something works.

It's pretty much all default. The only extension I added was omnibar, and there are no themes added, just default. Perhaps I'll try removing it to see what happens, but I cant imagine that that one would cause a formatting issue.

Thanks for confirming that it does work for you with Firefox, at least now I know its something on my machine. Oh, and I'm running Firefox v44, so its very current.

Try Reload (override cache)
Ctrl + F5
Or
Ctrl + Shift + R

Not that anyone really cares, but I did finally figure out what was causing the problem on my computer. Firefox default font was set to 9 instead of 16. Apparently Tesla did not specify a font size for the main menu header and when only giving them such a small font, it did not fit and caused the strange formatting. Once I changed it to the Firefox default of 16 it shows just like I see if chrome or explorer. Interesting that the Tesla site was the only one that I ran into that displayed incorrectly with this setting. Anyhow, just thought I'd post this message in case anyone was staying up all night wondering if I ever got it resolved.

Finally. I haven't been sleeping for days here. Well done.
