    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    To follow up, I resubmitted my service request and it was completed this morning. 2018 LR RWD, -00-A part, $350+tax. The service took about 1/2 hour end to end.

    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    FWIW, I got a message that the retrofit is not yet available for the Model 3 and my appointment was cancelled.

    They are both called “KIT, RETROFIT, CCS1 ADAPTOR”. One has part number 1652005-00-A and the other 1652004-00-A. There is also a total of 0.84 labor hours spread across a couple of line items, including 0.60 hours for “Correction: Inspect Vehicle: Vehicle Already Configured for CCS Charging”...

    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    Mine was $892 for a 2018 in app. It shows two $350 parts plus labor. I sent a message back asking about it. If that price stands, I’ll cancel the appointment.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    FWIW, I called the Tesla customer service number and the associate said that Tesla is planning to have early buyers send their taxpayer ID through the app. No timeline, just said to watch out for it before the deadline.

    Supercharger - Houston, TX - Kipling Street

    I wouldn’t be happy if I lived in one of the condos bordering this site. There’ll be cars going in and out of that lot at all hours.

    Unable to play music in Apple music

    FWIW, I did have several playlists that were between 500 and 3000 songs long. I deleted them (they were for temporary use anyway), and i still get the playback error. I went through my previous troubleshooting steps again to no avail. I appreciate that you published what the tech said - it gave...

    Unable to play music in Apple music

    I wish this worked for me. I’ve played from Slacker, TuneIn, and my phone through Bluetooth before reattempting to play from Apple Music. None of that has worked.

    Unable to play music in Apple music

    I did some troubleshooting this afternoon, but it did not resolve the Playback Error. I checked whether Apple Music worked in both my and my wife’s profile, logged out in both profiles, turned off the Apple Music source, and powered down the car. Essentially I tried to remove every vestige of...

    Apple Carplay with a WIFI Box

    T-Mobile is my phone provider. I did not use a SIM directly in the T2C. To their credit, they did reach out to me on Amazon. Unfortunately they did not read the careful troubleshooting report I put together and kept responding with notes copied from the online FAQs. I finally responded that the...

    Apple Carplay with a WIFI Box

    I just packed up the t2c to return it. I never got the CarPlay dialog to come up. When I’d go to Settings>General>CarPlay, the device would appear on the available cars list but only showed a spinning icon next to it, and would eventually time out. I looked at every FAQ and read all the Reddit...

    Unable to play music in Apple music

    Updated from 44.30.5 to 44.30.10 yesterday. Apple Music worked fine on .5, but reports a connection error on .10. I logged out of AM and back in, and rebooted the car - neither helped. Like other posters, all my music and playlists are visible, but tapping anything results in the spinning arrow...

    MYP won't auto connect to Wi-Fi. "Unable to obtain IP address" error when manually connecting to wifi. Only a hard Reboot auto-connects successfully.

    I had to reboot it last night to get it connect, but it may have been related to a larger scale internet problem I had. I had to reenter the WiFi credentials on several other devices before they’d reconnect.

    MYP won't auto connect to Wi-Fi. "Unable to obtain IP address" error when manually connecting to wifi. Only a hard Reboot auto-connects successfully.

    FWIW, my Model 3 had the same behavior the OP described with my AT&T fiber router as well as the DHCP error on occasion, forcing a reboot. Since updating to 2022.36.x, the car has consistently connected to the 5 GHz network without needing to be rebooted. I’ll update here if the behavior changes.

    Finally! Service History!

    The older service history on my 2018 Model 3 has never appeared in the app. The oldest entry on mine is from June 2019, when I bought some cabin air filters at a service center. I had a few mobile service visits before that to correct some minor trim issues with the vehicle. I’ll be joining you...

    New Map Update NA-2022.28-14046

    I got the map update a couple days ago. When sitting at an intersection earlier, I noticed that the map correctly had a stoplight icon on the intersection that I was at. I hope that thesis a precursor to replicating the CarPlay feature that tells you to make a turn at the n-th light.

    Supercharger - Brinkley, AR

    There is now a brand new Sonic with a dog park right next to this supercharger. We just ate lunch there while charging for the long leg to Miner and it worked perfectly from a timing standpoint.

    Supercharger Station Price Increases

    I just repeated a trip I did two months ago, leaving from home in Clear Lake City (Texas) at 100%, stopping at the exact same charger in San Marcos, and charging to the same level (78%). Tesla has changed their pricing model in Texas from $ per minute to $ per kWh. In August, the charge cost...

    Supercharger - Hood River, OR

    The downside to this location is that this parking lot gets pretty full. I was in Hood River for a couple weeks this summer. I went to the Safeway a couple times and had to park in the spots along Cascade. I drove by on several more occasions and it looked just as crowded. Too bad they didn’t...

    Alert warning: "Vehicle may not restart. Service is required" Code BMS_a035. "Electrical ...."

    This is the drive inverter assembly, which is an electrical component that converts the DC power stored in the battery to AC for use by the drive motor. There’s always the possibility of “infant mortality“ with any electronics and you just got unlucky. FWIW, I had this failure occur on my 2018...

    Can someone explain this screenshot

    FWIW, I live in Houston and I get similar notifications with a 60+ degree outside temperature, the car in the garage, both summon standby and sentry mode off, and my phone asleep without anyone touching it. It happens around 10% of the times that I charge overnight. I have assumed that it is the...

    Gaps In DashCam Video

    I had a car ever into my lane and was lucky to avoid an accident. When I reviewed the video later, the gap happened when the car was crossing the line. There was enough information to show that the car was in the next lane before the gap and in my lane after (with me on the shoulder), but any...

    Leave car plugged in at home when not away for a few days?

    I chose to leave mine unplugged while away for 16 days because we occasionally have violent thunderstorms here in Houston, plus we’re in the tropical storm season. I charged it to 70% and it lost a total of 30 miles of range (so 10%) over that time. I checked it with the app four times during...

    Front windshield tint rainbow??

    No, I live in Clear Lake and had a local place do it. The end result is good but it took a couple tries to get it right, so I’m not sure I’d recommend the place.

    Front windshield tint rainbow??

    My windshield is tinted and I don’t see any rainbow effect until I put on polarized sunglasses. Even then, it is not noticeable looking straight ahead. It is slightly noticeable looking at the sides of windshield, and most noticeable looking upwards. All that being said, after a couple of weeks...

    Supercharger - Webster, TX

    Drove by a half hour ago. The stations don’t appear to be active yet - the Tesla logos are not lit - but I didn’t try plugging in. Kudos to the Rudy’s patrons - the lot was pretty full but there were no vehicles parked in the SC slots.

    On my way back to Houston from San Antonio in May, the traffic was backed up onto the freeway from the Luling Buccees. I was glad the supercharger wasn’t there!

    Sunroof tint

    I tinted the sunroof and rear to 20% since I had noticed my head getting pretty hot here in Houston last September when I first got the car. While the ceramic tint works perfectly to reduce the heat, I wish I’d have tried the sunshade first. In the daytime, the visibility through the roof is...

    FWIW, there are several ChargePoint and Tesla destination chargers in SA. The City of SA Houston Street parking garage has two free ChargePoint chargers on the 9th floor and roof. The garage costs $10 per day but is much cheaper than the hotel parking in the surrounding area. I stayed at the...

    My TeslaCam video in Electrek article

    The video shows that the lane is clearly marked as a center left turn lane, so this makes sense. My friend’s jury duty was on a Farm-to-market road in a rural area, so that may explain the judge’s instructions. All this being said, I have seen people pass in the center lane here in Houston and...

    My TeslaCam video in Electrek article

    In Texas, passing traffic in the center lane is legal if the lane is clear. I had a buddy who got called to jury duty for this exact scenario, and the judge instructed them to pay attention to what the law says versus what they think it should say. TRANSPORTATION CODE CHAPTER 545. OPERATION...
