Something similar happens, I see a VERY BRIEF message that flashes on the screen that says, "Using this vehicle's account", and nothing else happens, I'm still at the same screen. Based on you comment, it seems you didn't even get a Tesla Slacker login after subscribing to Premium Connectivity!

Don't log out, you'll probably end up in a situation like I am! :D

Yup, I tried this, the service guy who called me back said I HAVE TO create my own, non-Tesla account to log into Slacker in my car, but I don't really buy that. Maybe a more fundamental question to ask is, does subscribing to Premium Connectivity include a Tesla Slacker login that allows you...

Apparently not. I believe a Slacker login was assigned to the car already when I bought it years ago because I had premium connectivity for a year after purchase.... but I never signed out even after my premium connectivity ended so I kept using it on WiFi. But since I recently deleted and...

Specifically my quesstion is, what happens to your Slacker/LiveOne Tesla provided account when you stop subscribing to premium connectivity. My premium connectivity expired years ago, but I still had access to Slacker/LiveOne via WiFi because I presume the Tesla provided Slacker account was...

I got my M3 in Nov 2018, so sadly I just missed free premium connectivity for life by a few months, but I've been streaming music using the Tesla Slacker login over WiFi/hotspot without issue up to about a week ago. Last week, for some reason (maybe software update?) a cloud version of my...

My problem ended up being a faulty 14-50 socket/outlet, my guess a loose ground? I replaced the socket/outlet and everything has been good for almost 2 years now

For me it's mostly "OCD". But there is a small part of me that also wants to keep the BMS as accurate as possible so in the long run, if/when there is a real range decrease, it will raise a red flag for me to look into instead of me writing it off as a BMS calibration issue.

I never believed my battery REALLY degraded to ~290-295mi at 100%. Before COVID, my typical daily charging habit was charge to 80% and drive to 60% each day on weekdays. During weekends, it varied, sometimes driving less than 10 miles, other times driving almost 200, though usual weekends are...

It’s in my signature but it’s a 2018 LR RWD, got it Dec. 2018, just over 20k miles on it. edit: sorry, forgot, mobile can’t see signature.

I went ahead and tried this even though I barely drive nowadays. I think since this last post of mine in July, I only charged my car to 90% 4 times, each time I let it run down to at least 30% before charging. I purposely tried to drive a little more often these past few months and it still...

I’m tempted to try this, but the way I’m driving nowadays, it will probably take me 2 or 3 weeks to run the battery from 90% to 40%. When I used to commute before the pandemic, it would have only taken 2 or 3 days.

I have the exact same observations with my Oct 2018 LR RWD and my driving habits are exactly like yours (prior to shelter in place), about 60mi a day and I charged to 80% daily. Prior to the range drop last August/September 2019, my 100% range was 322mi. I haven't charged to 100% since, but...

Code requires large electric appliances to be on a dedicated circuit, meaning you cannot share multiple outlets in it. So it will be violating code if you add another outlet. That said, physics is physics, and if the total draw on the circuit at any given time is less than 40amps, it will...

For me it's not even a small diminished battery capacity I worry about, it's more about when/where do I draw the line between "eh, just some battery management errors" and "oh man, I really should start worrying about out of the ordinary battery degradation." But in everyday driving, my M3 with...
