    Vendor Energi v3.0 - Beta Program

    I attempted to sign up at Energi.io. I filled out the form and pressed "Apply for the Beta". The screen flashed and a new window for the sign up screen opened. I have no idea if the sign up was successful or not. I'm using Firefox on OS/X.

    "Blind Spot Detection is disappointing"

    Ford uses radar on each rear fender for BLIS. Ultrasonic is never going to work for that. My 2013 Ford Fusion Energi has the same 12 ultrasonic sensors as my Tesla but they are only used for parking.

    How my 24 hour loan made me cancel my order

    Devon, PA is not a dealership. It is a Service Center. Tesla does not have dealers.

    Skylink Eq1 Garage?

    My 2013 Ford Fusion Energi has Homelink. I threw away the Skylink electronics that were on my garage door and replaced it with Chamberlain electronics.

    Fab key is less fabulous

    If the wet fob is now transmitting continuously it will block the good one. Take the battery out of the wet one. There are places to put the fob both outside and inside of the car when it has a dead battery. Please see your Owner's Manual.

    Blackvue 650 2 ch cloud questions

    Mine is mounted at the very top of the windshield on the passenger side an inch or two to the right of the E-ZPass area. When I leave my garage it takes awhile for it to sync to the satellites, since it is powered down in the garage, but once synced it works. I have the pano roof so there is...

    Both Key Fobs stopped working

    Can you open yout trunk or frunk from 75 feet away from the car? If not, there is a communication problem. Mine, as delivered from the factory, could not do that. It barely worked with the fob next to the car. They finally replaced the fob transceiver and antenna in the car and fixed my problem.

    Yes, the computer must be on and the app running to collect data. Configure the computer so it can't go to sleep.

    Do the non-adjustable shoulder strap work for you?

    If you are short, raise the seat until you can see the front edge of the hood. Or if you have a tall spouse, measure the distance from the top of their head to the roof and then adjust the seat until you have the same gap between the top of your head and the roof. I have no neck irritation...

    To Charge or Not to Charge?

    I had lightning hit a tree that is 10 feet from the corner of my garage. The bolt followed a tree root to the corner of the garage and hit the downspout. The car was in the garage but ,as always, it was not plugged in. No damage to either car. Bark from the tree was found in the driveway...

    It works on my 90D. Did you enter it in all lower case?

    Is there a trick to plug in Level 2 charger with the Tesla adapter provided?

    If you are right handed, wrap your left hand around the bottom of the adapter and the J-1772 plug. Push and hold the button on the J-1772 handle with your right thumb and then pull the whole assembly out of the car in one smooth motion. Then you can separate the adapter from the plug.

    Yes, my 90D shows up as a 70D. I checked the override section and 90D is not an option.

    There are 12 ultrasonic sensors around the car.

    vinyl wrap covering sensors

    The ultrasonic signal (sound wave) has to go through the wrap twice. There has to be some attenuation of the signal.

    7500 EV Tax Credit - Can Someone Explain?

    If you have any long term savings bonds, and deferred paying the interest, cash them before the end of the year. The interest from the bonds will increase your tax bill.

    Doors unlocking to key fob increasingly unresponsive!

    It was repaired at the SC. It took 4 days because they didn't have the part in stock.

    Doors unlocking to key fob increasingly unresponsive!

    My car did that when the keyfob receiver became deaf. Can you open your trunk or frunk from 75 feet away? Before mine was repaired, with a new receiver and antenna, I had trouble opening the frunk with the fob held right in front of the nosecone. I can now open it from 75 feet away.

    At what Point Does the Tesla App on a Smartphone Become Linked to Your Car?

    Mine happened about an hour after I arrived at home with the car. It's definitely not going to happen before you take possession of the car.

    My Model S for Android no longer working - new corporate device management MaaS360 ?

    The first thing I try when an Android app stops working is to use Application Manager to reset the apps data. If that doesn't work then I uninstall the app and then download a new copy.

    Flat tire is still 50 miles according to your link.

    Randomized Referral!

    If someone's link gets used three times there needs to be a way to get it removed from the list because after three it is no longer a valid link. Unfortunately having it copied three times does not mean it has actually been used three times. Only the link owner will have that information.

    Is there known order how updates get rolled out?

    No they can't all be updated at the same time. That would require a huge number of servers that only get used 5 to 10 times a year. Not to mention the load it would put on the AT&T cell network.

    Is there something wrong with the battery? Any waterproof case for the key or drop-pr

    Remove the battery and then put it into a bag of uncooked rice for two weeks to get the moisture out of it. Water inside of it would change the tuning of the radio and it would no longer be on frequency. If it was salt water it is probably not recoverable since salt water is a conductor and...

    Fab key is less fabulous

    My car was delivered with a key fob receiver that was almost deaf. It was difficult to get the door handles to present. Opening the frunk required the fob to be against the nose cone. After the receiver was replaced I can now open the frunk while 75 feet away from the car.

    Motor Noise - Possible Cause and Potential Solution

    I have never driven an AWD car so I will limit this to a RWD or a FWD car. Regen is applied to the wheels by the motor acting as a generator. The force is transmitted to the wheels through the differential. If either wheel loses traction, for whatever reason, regen force is no longer possible...

    A real pain removing J1772 adapter from Model S.

    Open the driver's door first. Then there is no doubt that the car is unlocked. I use a J-1772 at home and have never had a problem removing it.

    Philly burbs

    I don't bother with snow tires. By the time I get my driveway cleared the plow has been by and cleared the street. If my street is clear, so are all of the main roads. I'm retired so in the event of an ice storm I just stay home.

    Car really bouncy after service visit - what could cause this?

    Bouncy would imply a problem with the shock absorbers. What was the car in for? Maybe they forgot to reconnect them.

    "key" recognition

    I don't know. All they told me was they had to replace an antenna and didn't have any in stock so I'm still driving a loaner.

    "key" recognition

    My S85 is currently at the Service Center to have an antenna replaced because of how poorly it recognized the fob. I had the problem where holding the trunk switch didn't wake it up and double pressing the top of the fob didn't wake it up. The only thing that did work was using my phone to...

    Home Network Troubleshooting - 192.168.5.0/24 Subnet Issue?

    My main network is 192.168.5.0/24 and the car connects to it just fine. It's not the usual network for the cars since there is a dedicated wireless router in the garage on a different subnet.

    Delaware Registration

    In PA I titled my car, paid the taxes, and got a new registration plate in less than an hour at a AAA office. They are authorized to print all of the documents so there was no waiting for anything to come in the mail from Harrisburg.
