    70D, 85, or 85D?

    Just saying that a 40 could make that commute without the needing the 120V at work. Either the one would work, it's just about what performance level you wish.

    iPhone Text Alerts are Silent

    I think a good option would be to add a mixer in the sound setting area, that would let you mix in the sounds from your phone, like 0 to 100%. Also adding a mixer for the microphone might also be a good idea. I suggested something like this maybe a year ago.

    HPWC vs spare mobile connector?

    Why are so many new HPWC's on ebay? I saw one with a $70 for shipping.

    Tesla's Paint Shop Upgrade

    The only thing that worries me is if it gets to advanced, no one else (paint shops for repairs) will be able to replicate the same look. Maybe pre-painted parts will become available?

    DIY Dashcam (BlackVue 550 fron&rear) - constant power source from dash

    The BlackVue DR550GW-2CH max power consumption is 4.8W, that is like 8 seconds of regen for 24 hours of recording. Maybe 2027 feet at 300W/mile.

    Firmware 6.0

    I seem to have the opposite, I'm having to use the brake pedal ALL the time now, and I almost never touched the brake pedal before 6.0. I even switch between low and standard, just to make sure the setting did not get lost in the upgrade. I like the old regen better. Maybe a third "High" or...

    Who's black Tesla is this in California?

    The charge port is on the drivers side rear, so you can see that it is clearly not plugged in. Also you can see the cable sitting on the ground in front of the car. All EV's are equal when it comes to requiring a charging spot.

    DIY Dashcam (BlackVue 550 fron&rear) - constant power source from dash

    Well the rear camera did go bad, luckily I had a spare when I got a second 550 for my wife, when her front camera would just hang. Now I have a box with a buggy front camera and a bad rear camera, which I'll see if I can warranty repair. Not much in the BackVue site about the warranty, only...

    Slacker issues anyone?

    Ok, I got Slacker to work. This might work for you if you are on 5.12 (1.64.39). 1. Switch to FM 2. Close the browser. 3. Reboot center screen. 4. Connect to WIFI 5.

    Thanks JPP, I only did a quick reboot at lunch, I'll check the wire to the trunk door to make sure it did not get crushed, also I have some spare BlackVue parts that I can swap it with.

    I also have a problem with my passenger window, when it is 100 and over, it takes 5 or more times to go back up.

    Valet Mode! (confirmed by Elon)

    Wow, 100KW limit, would more like a 20KW or maybe a 15KW limit (to acceleration). Also the valet should not get getting on the freeway, so maybe a 25 mph limit, they should stay in parking lots.

    Firmware 5.12

    I got the 5.12 (1.64.38) update. I was having a problem with one of the three battery coolant pumps, even have the new part on order, but since the new update the error cleared. I'll see if the error comes back after drive to work.

    What battery in 40 kWh Model S

    My wife and I both have 40's with a type "A" pack. It makes sense, because we have not unlocked the Supercharging, and we would have to go to a 60 first. VIN# 10548 and VIN# 10614

    We had a nice time seeing everyone again!
  35. Chuck Lusin

    Ordered 60kw and having some doubts now.

    I also have a 40kWh, I can go about a total of 135 miles, 100 miles being 80 mph freeway and the rest street. Drivers seat heater on level 1 and HVAC set to 72 degrees. Outside air 50 to 70 degrees. measton, you are only limited to 72% total charge on your 60kWh pack.

    How about a DashCam option?

    I wanted to run the small wire through the hose between the car and trunk lid, but it looked way hard. First I pulled by the top red arrow and created a gap where I could push the end if the wire up towards the glass. You need about 20 inches from the red arrow to the center of the glass where...
