    Charging Station?

    I agree with you, wall chargers have the advantage. Install the 50amp, you can turn down the amperage at the Tesla if you want. By the way, 50 amp is going to downgrade at the car 20% to 40 amp.

    Ordering Connectivity after trial?

    Oh heck yes! For the live traffic and reroutes. For the satellite view on the maps. I use the internet browser often, parked drinking coffee in the morning. Remote notification if car alarm goes off. Live view on Sentry cam. Knowing where your car is. Friday wife on way, 3 minutes out I headed...

    Regular maintenance

    Say your front tyres are wearing on the insides and the rears wearing normally. Rotate front to rear to get more miles out of the tyres and get your alignment fixed. Again, if you pay for tyre rotation the savings is canceled out. Is the UK seeing Masters of the Air on Apple TV? An 8 part...

    Regular maintenance

    US opinion: Rotating tires gives you a few more miles. If you pay for the rotation it’s not worth it, in the US it’s usually free. What I like about rotating tires is all four wear out at the same time. That and we often see a $75/$100 gift card if we buy four tires. I’ve never lubricated the...

    Humming noise behind frunk

    I had a strange one last week, never happened before. May be related to the FSD-S updates? My Sentry Mode has been disabled when parked in my garage since bringing it home in May 2023. It’s always worked as advertised. I was out of town for three days, the Tesla at home in my garage. I looked...

    Navigation on the iPhone app

    On my iPhone app there is a Send To My Tesla button. I’ve only played with it, but you pick the SC’s want to use then send the data to your car.

    Navigation on the iPhone app

    My thought is that other than free charging at work or a clients site, I’m only going to use Teslas chargers.

    From you living room: You can use ABRP, personally I hate it. Superchargers app, I like this one, it only shows Superchargers however.

    NEW OWNER - ISSUE WITH SOFTWARE VERSION

    Agree, my MY is 51 weeks old and has a little over 14,000 miles, I charge at home. Never needed a Supercharger, plugged in once just to make sure it worked. Another time to show the wife how to do it. Don’t get me wrong, I arrive at home in single digits. I know where they are along my route...

    NEW OWNER - ISSUE WITH SOFTWARE VERSION

    I don’t know. Ever had to load an old version of MS Windows from a CD? It’s missing a ton of patches and several major updates, leave it alone for a couple hours and it resolves itself.

    No, what’s the story on this Barn Find? Why the low mileage?

    NEW OWNER - ISSUE WITH SOFTWARE VERSION

    I’m wondering the same. Whats the story?

    NEW OWNER - ISSUE WITH SOFTWARE VERSION

    You may not have an issue. Why it wasn’t updated is beyond me. However: Even when I’m not on the latest update my Tesla will say I am. Two to four days later I’m advised an update is available. Always assumed Tesla is trying not to overwhelm their servers or their pipe to the internet. Suggest...

    Lyft vs Tesla

    Really surprised, the S is a nice car. Is this a policy change or has only Uber been allowing Tesla’s all along? You said the MS is new. Not salvage? Not 2011 or older? I’m guessing you’re 25 years old or older… Just a guess. What you need to drive with Lyft in Connecticut Drivers are...

    Just a guess.

    Why does FSD keep changing lanes all the time?

    I find Minimal Lane Changes does very little (if anything) and it has to be selected again for each drive. If I let the AP do what it wants, I get boxed in behind and between slow moving trucks.

    Update 2023.44.30.14 Issue

    On the screen search for “Power Off”. You’”need to sit in the car for 2 minutes without touching anything. After two minutes open the door, it gets hot in there, the car will restart.

    Home charging

    If you can go with a wall charger and higher voltage do it. The issue with low voltage “granny charging” is you sometimes use more, if not all, power running fans cooling or heating the batteries. I’ve seen charging at 1 mph durning low voltage charging. In the long run some are spending more...

    Update 2023.44.30.14 Issue

    If your PC did this you would shut down, then restart (cold boot). Suggest you do the same.

    How can I make the “home” location more accurate

    Pretty sure that's the best you're going to get. Mine will hesitate in the street for a second then park to it's right, across the street from my house.

    Punctured tire/question

    Very true, same for a tubeless tire blowout, it just doesn’t happen. Run flats yes, but not a blow out. Modern cars report tire pressure and have an oral alarm when pressure is low. Run flats should be a thing of the past. The problem is when the nail is in the outer part of the tread and...

    Missing Frunk!

    In aviation that would be the pilots fault; Inadequate pre-flight inspection. You have the right to be mad, but you need to share in the blame.

    Best Way To Hardwire Tesla Wall Connector with Existing Wires?

    Seems like a lot of unnecessary work. If it was me, I’d simply pull some new wire. A pathway has been established, attach some mule tape to the old wire and pull it out. Then pull the new wire making sure it’s long enough to put the wall charger where you want it.

    Battery Charging routine

    If my daily usage was only 30% I’d charge to 50% nightly. From what I’ve read, that’s the best for the battery. Because of my driving I charge to 80% each night. About twice a month I go to 100% because I need that to get through the following day. When I go to 100% I get a warning that max...

    Tiny paint scratch on my new model Y- can Tesla help with repair?

    Many Tesla’s have a scratch there from the garage door. Look around when stopped at a light. Mine happened day one.

    Should I order the chargers separate from the car?

    Order it separately and get it installed before taking delivery. Same price. Only reason to order it with the car would be if you wanted it rolled into the loan.

    Newbie Questions (Avoid if newbies annoys you)

    I understand items like an impact or air bag deployment save the video too. Kind of weird to honk your horn AFTER a minor impact. Drag this item down to the task bar, you can tap it anytime you feel the need to save a recording.

    Newbie Questions (Avoid if newbies annoys you)

    1. Make the kids ride in the wife’s car. 2. The supercharger will pre-condition the battery, it just takes a little longer to charge. 3. Assuming you don’t have a model 3 a wall charger is the only way to go, pull power to where you want it vs behind the washer, dryer. Sounds like you’ve got...

    Vendor Question: Tesla Charging Stations Opening to Other Brands

    I have no issues with other brands of vehicles using the Supercharger network. I do have issues with other brands blocking two or three stalls when others are waiting to charge.

    Interesting take on wrapping the Cybertruck

    Are FSD (supervised) users mostly TSLA shareholders?

    No idea, I pay someone to take care of my stocks. Six months ago I saw Tesla stocks, not sure if still there.
