    Wow 68k! impressive! May be I should get a Y. My MS is on the 3rd sets of tires not even 68K and I live 1 mile from the highway, granted I have much more local mileage.

    Few Model S/Tesla Questions...

    Tesla service manual is online (service.tesla.com), parking sensor is relatively easy to replace and doesn't require any toolbox software to reset anything. I have experienced app failed to open door/trunk but fobs work, that was a software issue after the MCU upgrade and the mobile tech...

    Tesla Solar in Houston & Surrounding Area’s

    It wasn't too bad for 3 weeks, you better pick up the car during business hours, so that you can return to them immediately if something is wrong. I have no confidence in Tesla fixing windows. A couple of months ago, the mobile tech fixed the actuator and left, I should have checked the work...

    Using FSD for 3 months - Is my experience typical?

    My experience with V12 FSD is quite positive, before that it always go into the turn lanes in the city wrongly making it useless and dangerous. I have been using it for door to door transport without any interventions that involve both city and highway, and handle it quite close to human. Of...

    Buying used Tesla out of state. How do I supercharge on the way home?

    It's been a while, I have used Brink's L2 charger with adapter, it's very slow, getting like 16 miles/hour. I have also seen both Tesla universal destination charger and Tesla destination charger in Hilton, they are quite good and set as 48A. You can use the universal one, just install the...

    Buying used Tesla out of state. How do I supercharge on the way home?

    It will be very painful if you cannot supercharge. You can get a J1772 to Tesla adapter and then find any L2 charger hotels/locations but it will take a long time, probably 2-3 days ... drive for 3 hours, charge for 3 hours then may be 1-2 hours, then charge it overnight, repeat the same the...

    Finally got my FSD trial - Major school zone issue

    I came across several school zones this morning, it won't slow down in 12.3.6. However, in 12.3.1/2 it always slow down at one particular location regardless of hours, now even at that particular location, it just keep on going without slowing down, we are not there yet.

    Elon needs to make more $$$, drain the PW after sunset as quickly as it can, then recharge it before sunrise at peak rate, I hope that's not the case -- LOL.

    Keep us posted, I think you will be paying 5.9 + delivery charge = 9.94c, will be interested to see the result in your first bill. Does TE gives report on how much you use/buy back each week or you have to wait till the end of the cycle?

    Tesla Solar in Houston & Surrounding Area’s

    Is this new plan different from last year? I am thinking one PW holds 13.5kwh and if 75% is exported each day, then the credit per kwh will be close to 10 cents, if one ends up paying for those 75%, then it may be a gain or loss depending on time of usage. I guess the more PWs one has, the...

    LOL, good eyes. it's Rachio. They do work with HomeKit, just have to setup manually, but recently they stopped supporting it last year, it still works though. I use Alexa. Overall, it's good enough. Yardbird is another option

    Tesla Solar in Houston & Surrounding Area’s

    I don't think mobile tech is equipped/trained for that, replacing windshield really needs experience. By the way, a tech came by trying to fix a false window not closed warning by replacing the actuator, he left with this (I was in a meeting and didn't get chance to inspect) ... actually make...

    Rear camera replacement needed?

    You can check the epc.tesla.com for parts number and whether it has any sales restrictions, service manual is also online, and it looks like you need to use toolbox to calibrate after replacing it. Ebay usually is another place to look for parts, but make sure you have all the parts and clips...

    Collision damage M3

    Have you talk to your own insurance? Since they assume 100% liability, if you file against your own insurance, they will fight for you, and you can choose your repair shop. It will likely 3x the SF estimates. It shouldn’t affect your premium. ,

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    Looks like the price has gone up, 18 months ago it was 3500. I think Lexus ES is 3500 a piece. The Tesla tech told me it won't last, but so far so good, hopefully it stays that way. Good thing is this is not required here and if mine burn again, then I am not going to fix it.

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    I suspect the same, I have a legacy but the release notes didn’t mention any auto park and I have yet to find a place to test it, previously only once in a blue moon I will see the parking decal show up in a parking lot.

    Tesla insurance safety score version

    Did Glenn tell you which states are that? I am in 2.0 now but I think others in Texas already have it for a while before I got upgraded to 2.0, certainly is more than 6 months. As usual Tesla has some secret, mysterious or somehow incompetent ways to tell customer and I hoped Glenn is not...

    Wall vs Mobile vs @#$%

    Model X Crash on US-101 (Mountain View, CA)

    As much sympathy as I have on the deceased, I am not sure why Tesla is willing to settle it, maybe it is about publicity or hassle of long litigation only hurt FSD, especially if it becomes a public court, social media fiasco then it will be a total distraction and really a no win for everyone...

    Would my 2024 Model S LR survive being unplugged for 2.5 months?

    Based on observations from different posts, some posts of newer 3/Y model owners reported losing 1% per week but I lose around 1% per day, another owner reported similar, although Tesla stated to expect 1% per day.

    Would my 2024 Model S LR survive being unplugged for 2.5 months?

    Model S usually uses more than 3/Y. I suggest you try it first for few days, turn off sentry, cabin heat protection and see how much you lose each day and then determine your strategy. I have an older S and lose about 1% a day with everything off, another forum member mentioned similar but...

    Model S 2018 worth keeping before battery warranty expires?

    Some has reported the battery health test is not available especially older models, I don't have it neither. I estimated it by the rated miles and charge percentage, since I owned the car from the very beginning, so I know roughly the degradation percentage, I lost around 11%.

    Model S 2018 worth keeping before battery warranty expires?

    You can check the terms of the warranty in the app. For older battery, it is covered 8 years unlimited miles but degradation is not covered. Newer battery has mileage limitation and also degradation percentage coverage (over 70%, 150k miles). I think some has done battery health test in...

    Tesla Insurance - Any way to talk to a live human?

    I have filed claim before and everything is smooth, lessons learned: 1) Never tried to call the main or try to find a live person to talk to, it only adds to frustration. 2) Ask questions in the app. 3) My adjuster gave her number to text to, I use that for communication and everything is...

    Tesla wants to replace my Model Y Standard Range battery pack with an LFP pack

    It sounds like a no brainer to me. One concern is if in the future, if after an accident, when the shop has to order parts using the VIN, then the system may not have the upgraded components in the database, so you have to make sure they are aware of that and they are modifications done by...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology
