    clipped side mirror while parking, scratched bottom

    It's not a painted surface, just black plastic. In the settings you can have the mirrors automatically fold when you pull into the driveway. Tesla is going to be a 4 digit number. Have you tried used parts...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    That's when it started for me. Not so much that he bought Twitter, just he was such an a** hole about it.

    14-50 requirements

    I'd say bump the breaker up to 50A, but I don't think 8ga is heavy enough.

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    I said nothing abut being mad. Advertisers, Left or Right should pull their ads when it hurts there brand. Advertisers are not beholding to a manufacture. I prefer watching news medias that have not lost or settled lawsuits for hundreds of million of dollars for pushing lies when they knew...

    Model 3P home screen when entering car

    One car has upgraded, that other car hasn’t. I really like the new screen, turn the wheel and the tires change on the screen. I did loose the regen/discharge bar when driving. How do I get that back?

    Anyone know why the car is red?

    666 baby. Tape the signed title to the window and walk away, don’t look back…

    When Will My 2023 Model Y will have FSD (supervised) ?

    Updates come at random and it takes a week to update the fleet. If everyone updated at the same time it might crash Tesla servers. Sounds like the former owner was rejecting the updates. Set it up for WiFi at your home, bet you see an update(s) in a couple of days. Keep an eye on the Tesla app...

    2000+ mile Camping trip to Rushmore in a Model Y Long Range - First long distance trip and sleeping in the car

    Tents have sewn in floors. FWIW I even put a cheap blue tarp under my tent. Dealing with temperature is part of the camping experience. I have a summer and winter sleeping bags. Two years ago I camped in 33 degree lows and light rain for three nights. The rain hitting the tent put me to sleep...

    GFCI

    I know it doesn’t satisfy code, but I hthought a GFCI was built into the wall charger?

    2000+ mile Camping trip to Rushmore in a Model Y Long Range - First long distance trip and sleeping in the car

    Nice write up. I did the Wall Drug, Black Hills trip in my plane 8 years ago and really enjoyed it. About 25 of my closest friends flew in from all over the country and landed at the Custer Airport for four days. I enjoyed it so much I stayed an extra day leaving early the next morning. I...

    Solar power roof

    It wouldn't be enough to matter. Low power charging uses everything it's getting just to run fans. The charge rate will drop to 1 MPH.

    Is this trim part normal looking?

    You'll want to get that secured, it protects the bottom of the car. To date, no one has ever stolen catalytic converter from a Tesla. You don't want to be the first.

    Is this trim part normal looking?

    Looks like a fastener(s) fell out.

    Clarification on EV parking and towing at businesses with free charging and no explicit restrictions

    Yea that^^^. If I’m traveling and need a charge at my hotel I shouldn’t have to fight the non customers for a spot. I would add. Most parts of the country have a law that the tow sign must include where to get your car back. If that’s missing, it’s usually an empty threat.

    Charging at home at 16 amps instead of 32

    I tried and found the Be Ready At charging schedule is poor at best. Save yourself some frustration and set manual charging times. The OP may want to charge for an hour or more then use one of these to look for hot spots.

    Elon Musk once mocked China’s BYD. Now it’s running circles around Tesla

    BYD, a carmaker Musk once laughed at, overtook Tesla at the end of last year as the top seller of electric vehicles on the planet (Tesla overtook it in the first quarter of this year, but they’re neck and neck). And now it’s giving Toyota a run for its money, unveiling a new hybrid powertrain...

    Wall Charger DIY?

    Stick with the Tesla wall charger. There isn’t much savings going with a 3rd party charger and you’ll loose some features. Installing a wall charger yourself is pretty simple. Make sure you buy the correct, or larger wire for your breaker size. I did mine in an afternoon including a 50’ pull...

    Battery scratch? Warranty still on?

    All I see is a scratch on the plastic cover? If it worries you that much, replace the cover.

    Disable Automatic Trunk button

    Not sure there is a way to do that, but I did buy some pipe insulation and tied it to the garage door vertically with zip ties. Now the trunk lid hits the soft insulation instead of the garage door.

    Time to disable bluetooth as a key?

    Tripled? I find that hard to believe. You must have had a claim(s). My California insurance (autos, home, plane) have pretty held the same. Auto down $400, house up $150, plane up $200. Not sure why auto went down other than the cars are a year older?

    Cant adjust my charging limit.

    That's not right. Try adjusting it on the screen in the car.

    Terrible service experience, why my 2023 Model S is a regrettable purchase

    Florida does have a new car Lemon Law, but is pretty weak. The OP’s car is not unsafe to drive and its use is not impaired. There is a 30 consecutive day in shop law, but you have to put the shop on notice the clock is running. If they give the car back to you for one day, the clock starts...

    "New" 2023 with less warranty

    To Tesla.. Please make the Model S 2021+ retrofit for the motorized tilt screen available

    How often is the screen angle changed to justify electric motors? What would the cost be per unit, $500?

    Is this safe to drive

    Agree, the front wheel is not safe for driving. The rear wheel needs to be replaced. If your thinking about custom wheels, now is the time. I not an expert on the underside, I’ll let others comment.

    Tire Rotation Pattern?

    I completely X’ed my tires, it’s all wheel drive. No issues. Not what Tesla says to do. Who knows more about tires, Tesla or Michelin?

    Why did my Tesla say “I call shotgun” while I was driving? Is it some Easter Egg? Has anyone else had this happen?

    Don’t think we’ll get that in the US. We drive in the left seat.

    I’m no expert but I X my tires. I’m assuming you’re AWD?

    Is it time to dump and run?

    I fail to understand how poor management is a liberal / conservative issue. I do think Tesla has peaked, while Musk isn’t the only reason he’s one of the reasons.

    Blue vs White Paint

    Dark colored cars look really good right after you wash them. The other 6 days of the week they look like crap. Years ago I had a dark blue car, even lint from the towel I used to dry the car would show up on the clean car. Where as, a white car still looks clean 2 weeks after it’s washed.
