I am in NJ and the following has been my schedule: Jul 20 - Order placed (X LR+) Aug 10 - Text saying "4 - 7 weeks" Aug 25 - Text saying "2 - 4 weeks" Sept 6 - Text saying "Model X on its way ... click link to schedule delivery" Sept 22 - Scheduled delivery (earliest date available on above link"

Since early November a number of people are having problems with Slacker streaming (buffering and connection errors). Tesla has acknowledged the problem and informed us that a firmware update is forthcoming. For a couple of days now, I noticed that the problem has gone away (without a firmware...

From my Service Center: ... Please do know that it is a known issue at this time, and engineering is working on resolving this for all customers. It is taking longer than we would like due to the fact that they have to go channel by channel to rectify the issue....

For the dashcam itself, you can use the available power connector in the "ceiling" of the car, above the grille. For the hotspots, you can run power from the OBD connector or another option is When to know if a switched 12V is On or Off?

Anybody using the AT&T Velocity (ZTE MF923) for remote access to a dashcam? Can it be used around-the-clock (24x7) without hanging/freezing and having to be power cycled (turned off/on again)? The AT&T Unite and the ZTE Mobley hang/freeze after a couple of days of use and need to be power...

James, Thanks for adding the "wake" command via the new TeslaFi API. Any chance you could add one to turn on the HVAC? Thanks, AP

Thank you for your comments. Adding some additional comments of my own: - As confirmed by Tesla, the antenna that receives the RF signal to open the charge port is located on the left edge of the rear windshield. - Based on my experiments, the antenna that sends the RF signal...

I have a Blackvue DR650GW-2CH dashcam installed in my Feb '15 S85D. After much experimentation, I have unequivocally proved that the DR650GW-2CH interferes with the RF signal sent from the Tesla charging cable to the Tesla Model S to command the car to open its charge port. With the camera...

Here is the mystery: 1) My home HPWC consistently opens Model S's with the old (not auto close) charge port (I tried with two loaners) 2) My home HPWC intermittently (as in rarely) opens the charge port on my Feb '15 Model S (with the newer auto close charge port) 3) My car's charge port...

Here is what I currently know about the At&t ZTE Mobley: 1) Fact -- Firmware VM6200V1.0.1 has a new "No Time Out" option 2) Apparently, AT&T controls when new firmwares are pushed to the devices. There is no way for you to manually update it. 3) Fact -- ZTE Mobley with firmware VM6200V1.0.1...

Sorry I can't help. When I got mine, back in August, setting up was a breeze. My problem is that it turned off after two hours of the car being turned off. I returned it after a couple of days.

James, I know that this is not the primary objective of TeslaFi, but now that evmote is dead, it would be great if you could add IFTTT integration. More specifically, allow someone to use the IFTTT Maker channel to "call" TeslaFi via a web request to (1) wake the car and (2) turn on HVAC. Thanks!

I am on AT&T and, therefore, can comment only on AT&T devices. The ZTE Mobley turns itself off 2 hours after the car is turned off. I have contacted them suggesting a firmware change to keep it constantly powered on (and they apparently liked the suggestion) but have not implemented it (I...

Just added review on App Store.

Allen -- A suggestion: Add an iOS 10 Widget. Thanks for all of your hard work!

What is the disadvantage of allowing the 12V battery to cycle, assuming the car is plugged in? Thanks!

I got an AT&T ZTE Mobley WiFi Hotspot to remotely access my Blackvue using its Cloud capability. The ZTE Mobley fits nicely in the OBD2 connector, stays out of the way and works OK. The price is right (zero with a contract, $100 otherwise) and service is only $10/month (on a Mobile Share...

I am in New Jersey, do have a front license plate, and have an E-ZPass acount from the New York Service Center. The following is the summary of my experiments: Internal tag 1) To the right of the autopilot camera -- Unreliable 2) On the autopilot enclosure, above the mirror -- Did not work 3)...

Does anybody have an external EZ-Pass taped to the bumper behind the nosecone and has a front license plate and has had success witht that setup? Thanks!

I finally had a chance to work on this. I brought my Model S to Home in Westfield, NJ and Raul did a great job. As expected it is not perfect (as expected, if you look really closely, the paint surface scratches are still there) but the dent itself is gone. As compared to the Tesla-certified...

I was not aware of this one. Any chance you could expand? Thanks much!

Any suggestions? Thanks

UPDATE -- I've tried the AT&T Unite Pro for two weeks and do NOT recommend it because it is not happy staying on 24x7. I am currently using a Cradlepoint CBR 400 with an AT&T USB stick and have found the combo to be way more stable than the AT&T Unite Pro. Given that the Cradlepoint CBR 400...

The Blackvue has two "connectivity" modes: 1) In what they call they "WiFi" mode, the camera continuously acts as a WiFi access point, broadcasting its own SSID. You need to be in close range to the camera, and it is a pain on iOS devices because you need to switch to the camera's WiFi network...

Is the voltage on the OBD port a reasonably stable 12V or does it fluctuate materially (like in an ICE battery)? I want to use it to power an electronic device and need to determine if I need to stabilize it. Thanks!

Having the AT&T Unite Pro connected to the cigarette light adapter is not a good option. Although it has an internal battery, my daily driving time is not enough to charge it. I am planning to connect it to the OBD port and velcro it to the underside of the dashboard.

Blackvue Cloud Again, having the Blackvue act as an WAP and have my iPhone be a "client" to the camera seems like a very clunky solution to me. So, I am leveraging the Cloud service and have: 1) Blackvue connected to an AT&T Unite Pro in car 2) iPhone connected to the Internet via any usual...

That explains it. Thanks much. I knew that the 12V battery was charged from the main battery, I knew the main battery disconnected when you park, I did not know the main battery connected itself periodically, with the car on park, to charge the 12V one. Thanks again.

This is not meant to be a step-by-step guide, just a series of comments for those who have already read all of the great detailed posts in this forum. Camera -- I decided to get the Blackvue DR650GW-2CH because of its unique "Cloud" feature. Having to switch WiFi on my iPhone to access the...

Is the 12V battery charged from the main one while the car is parked? I just installed a dashcam and want to make sure it will not drain the 12V battery. For the main battery, the drain on the dashcam is minuscule. Thanks

i noticed this to be an issues with the auto pilot on.

I dont remember observing or reading about this before. I'm on 2.12.22 but this could have changed in a prior upgrade.

++1

+1 on 3D Touch to turn on Climate Control. Thanks!

URL Scheme Allen, So glad to see you back in action! Where do you stand on supporting a URL scheme for Remote S? I believe I can use "remotes://" to open Remote S. Can we pass parameters (e.g., turn on HVAC) yet? Thanks much

I do find 7.1 to be less "safe" than 7.0 per prior comments in this thread. In 7.0, the car would work hard to stay in the middle of the lane and that would cause it to sort of wobble. In 7.1, the car slowly drifts from edge to edge of the lane, getting too close to cars in the other lanes.

Ryan. Thanks much for the quick turnaround. I will experiment with it. Thanks, Antonio

i would assume that if the in-car display is on, then the car is awake from an API perspective. However, the car could be awake from an API perspective without the display being on.

Ryan. Thanks for adding this to your list. On a "tactical" basis, could you maybe add the Wake command to your list of available HTTP calls. I could use IFTTT or something similar to keep the car awake in those periods when I am more likely to need it to be awake. Thanks. Antonio.

Interesting. Thanks for your replies. The context of my original question was related to the use of the API. When the car is asleep, it doesn't respond/act on API calls/commands. I had not realized that the car being asleep (from an API perspective) is correlated with the car being asleep...

Once there is no activity, how long does it take for the car to go into "Sleep" mode/status? Thanks

Ryan, I am a happy user of eVmote's IFTTT integration. More specifically, I leverage Amazon Echo --> IFTTT --> EVMote ---> Tesla and tell Amazon Echo to turn on Climate Control when I am about to leave the house in the morning. The caveat is that this does not work when the car is asleep. In...

Thanks much. I assume you are talking about this one? The Dent Man 7 Edwards Dr. Wrightstown, NJ 08562 (609) 647-6065 Contact: Rochford, Bill

Thanks!

Thanks!

The point is that you need to do that every time.

Same here! I like to keep the Trip app on the right and the Energy app on the left. I like that if you override the left navigation with an app, you still get the pop up turn instructions. I feel that once you override it, the car should remember that setting.

This winter, my Tesla will be parked outdoors at work and I will need to deal with snow removal when it snow during work hours. 1) Does anybody have a recommendation on a good, safe brush? 2) Does anybody have a view on those windshield snow covers? 3) Anything else? Thanks much,

Automation (REST) Commands with Car Sleeping Hi Ryan, It appears to me that the car needs to "awake" for it to accept the "automation" HTTP/REST commands. Am I right? Thanks, Antonio

The Model S "remembers" the seat heater setting from trip to trip but turns off the heated steering wheel at the end of every trip. This means that, during the winter, at the beginning of every trip, we need to select Controls/Controls/Cold Weather/Steering Wheel to turn it back on. Also, it...
