    How do you sync your iPhone

    I have never tried to sync my phone to the car to get messages and the calendar to work. The process, with prior updates, was to touch the Tesla logo, and then make a few other steps. Now the Tesla logo is gone. I have gone to the Bluetooth settings, and there is a block that shows my phone...

    Car doesn't seem to be charging

    We were away for four months, and I had left my MY plugged in. I drove it for the first time yesterday, and though it was plugged in overnight last night, and it was supposed to charge up to 70%, it seems to be at the same charge level this morning as it was last night. I am using a 120V line...

    Wire size for wall charger

    I am going to connect a wall charger -- because I have one -- and it is going to feed off of a 40A circuit. Since it is only a 40A circuit, it seems to me (certainly not an expert) that 8 gauge Romex should handle the load without a problem. Anyone have any thoughts on this????

    Formatting SSD for Sentry

    I got a Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD for the Sentry system. The Tesla manual says to format it for FAT32, but that is not an option. I only can format it for NTFS or exFAT. In looking at the stuff I can find, it looks like the exFAT option is best, but looking for some help out there........

    Whine when in reverse

    I have noticed a bit of a whine when the car is first starting out and put in reverse. This happens as I pull out of my garage, but the moment it goes into Drive, the noise stops. Anyone else notice this and anyone have a clue as to what causes the sound?

    Steering wheel heater??

    The manual for the MY says that it has seat heaters and a steering wheel heater. It is clear where the seat heaters are, but I cannot find anything in the manual that says anything else about a steering wheel heater or how to turn it on, etc. Anyone have a clue??

    Bluetooth connection to Echo -- will calls still come through?

    I plan to use an Amazon Echo to connect to Sirius radio, but would that not disconnect the bluetooth connection to the MY? What would be the effect of being connected to the Echo device, and the "Lock on Walk Away?" It seems to me that there can only be one bluetooth connection at a time, so I...

    California sales tax

    A friend of mine bought a Model S, and though he lives in Houston, he had to pay a California sales tax, and then a Texas use tax. My MY is on its way, and they have given me the payoff price, but say that taxes and fees are extra. I have, of course, written to the local sales office, and...

    Opening door and warning about weather stripping

    I am really new at this. I have not yet picked up my MY, though it is on the way, and I have a pickup date set for the end of next week. I was test driving one a week ago just to verify that it would fit in my garage, and every time I opened the door from the inside, there was a warning that...

    Time from assignment of VIN to delivery

    OK, I have a VIN. Is there some approximation as to how long from that assignment until the car is made and arrives on the East Coast? Thanks.

    Cruise control reacts when there is nothing there

    Still waiting to get my MY, but in test driving one this past weekend, I noticed that the cruise control twice slowed down when there was nothing there. I was in the passing lane and suddenly slowed by over 10 mph. I know this happens with all of these systems, but does it happen a lot with...
