I just got 3 code at once on my 2014 models S 85. , regenerative braking not available, may not restart, and top speed and performance is limited, service required. This happened with 90% charge.
What may have caused this ?
Is there a way to clear these codes myself to see if it was a glitch vs a real problem?
Help is appreciated!

Hello all: after recent update that KNOWN speedCamera control will have a sound notification and the average Speed in a speed check zone is visible it starts to become closer to remove my IPhone + Flitsmeister setup. However I wonder if anyone knows an easy way to ADD speedCamera spots when the local police installs one.
Anyone any advise?

In California, getting 2 new 240volt outlets installed, how important is it to get GFCI breakers? The 50 Amp breakers are extremely expensive and the charger I will be purchasing uses the Nema 14-50 outlet at 40 AMPS to charge the Tesla. Any input would be nice. Thanks!

I think I've made a parts mistake but not sure. Will try replacing right headlight and need part number 1077372-10-i and bought part number 1077372-00-G. They are both matrix style headlights. Two different compatibility charts show the replacement part is compatible. The part is in transit but I have a pit in my stomach (cost me $349. on Ebay). This for a 2019 M3. Does anyone know if it will work? I expect to have to reinstall the latest software and hope that will make it work. If not, will swapping in the old ECU to the new headlight work (and be safe)? Thanks for any information to someone smarter than me.

Has anyone in maine downloaded 2024.14.8?

Teslas have black glass roofs, why can’t they implement solar panels to charge the battery while the car sits in the sun all day ?. Even 5 % would be possible ?. Seems like a no brainer.

Dose anyone know what the number outlined in red means?

Hello! Yesterday I removed the interior panel on the trunk for pushing out a dent. When I put it back together the trunk gaps were totally screwed. I tried to adjust the four 13mm bolts to make the gaps better but there's not enough adjustment in the bolts to fix it. I got the gaps in top "ok" but there's a big height difference on the left and right side. Which barely makes it closable. I've attached pictures of the height difference after adjusting the bolts. Any suggestions for a fix? Thanks!

Why is this only available on new vehicles. When it uses the cameras?

I am in the process of repairing the left front door handle (Generation 2.0, I believe) of my 2014 Model S. It had a broken paddle gear as well as a broken door handle outer fork (part 1008961-00-C; it's the major price that pivots in and out to present the handles).

This fork has two pivoting pieces at the handle attachment end (opposite the motor/pivot end) that are the actual attachment points for the exterior handle proper. These pieces are attached to the fork with pins. How can I remove and replace these pieces and their pins? I need to transfer them from the old broken fork to the new fork. I would also like to not break the new part in the process...

The other pins and shafts haven't been a problem, but it appears that these pieces are secured in a different way.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to relocate the hitch power connector? I’ve tried searching but can’t find any brackets or information on relocating the power connector further away from the hitch pin location. I’m unable to use my locking hitch pin because the power connector is in the way

Wondering what others are doing as far as the brake maintenance : inspection, wire brushing, grease on the two pins in the brake assembly. With 27K miles and no adverse conditions.
No snow melt chemicals or driving on the beach...Pads look like new.

Super annoying when walking by in garage. Manually stopped it from opening, then pressed close button and it closed. But now it won’t go up. Manually lifting it up works, and closing by button press works. Tried 3 second hold at top position and heard numerous beeps. Still didn’t open after that. Takes a bit of force to lift, more than before. Seems like something is broken, but not sure if I did the calibration right and assume if it closes via the motor that it should be able to open via the motors.

Any thoughts? How many times should it beep for the confirmation of calibration?

Thanks

Sentry Mode is disabled with Dog mode of course as loud noises with a Dog inside is not a good idea!
Internal camera I know can be enabled on later models.

However, can the external camera still catch events and record when Dog mode is on?

In the past it seemed Dog mode disabled any recording from the external cameras. Seen some old 2021 posts but in 2024, is this still the case?

Would be great to leave the dog safe inside but also record any nasty scratches or events while Dog mode is on parked somewhere!

My Model Y 2023 model seems to have a slow tire leak. Drops about 8 to 10 PSI over the course of a month. Opened a TESLA service request and their first option is to replace the tire estimating $400+
Do anyone know if I approve the estimate and take the car to the shop, will they honestly first check to see if the leak can be plugged? Or should I not risk it and just take it to a local tire shop to fix the leak?
Thanks for your suggestions.

The have an under body issue on my new model Y. The other side is flush, but the driver side has this weird metal bracket and one of the plastic connectors won't reconnect. Not sure if it's worth a service appointment.

As we enter into Air Conditioning season, the smell in my 2022 MY is not terrible but I suspect getting there. I purchased replacement filters (didn't realize the order comes with only one filter so had to order again) and the cleaning foam.

When do people change the filters and clean the coil - at the start of the AC season or at the end of it?

Is there anyway I can combine a few of my threads on my newly acquired 2016 model S
I’ve got a few things to ask about the car and I keep starting new threads. I figured it would be good to have a general thread. I’m wondering if I can combine them?

Thanks !

Hello Tesla. I've got a door that needs to be replaced on a model y for an accident. That was my own fault. No other car involved. But I've never filed a claim before and so not familiar with how it works. I have a $500 deductible for collision and I've contacted the insurance company but have not filed anything yet. Surprisingly they said my insurance goes up $300 a year for 3 years. Not bad. But I can't get any guarantees on cost of repair and what else I would be responsible for.

So my question is; does anyone know? After the deductible, are there added costs that an adjuster will find and I would have to pay?

Curious to see if anyone has been in a similar situation.

Thanks!

MX 2022 with FSD enabled, would like to know if I can use FSD in Canada or something that I should be aware off before taking my car across the boundary ?

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but can't find specific answer. I have 2023 M3/ LR / DM
I normally leave it plugged in when not in use. My normal usage does not bring the battery below 60%. I charge to 81% (personal quirk, I like it to read 80% when I leave my driveway.)
A Tesla tech told me today that I should occasionally (perhaps every 6 months) let the battery run down to about 10%, then charge to about 90%.
This, he said, would "exercise" the cells, like a person who sits a lot getting up and stretching.
Do others agree? Good, bad, no difference?
Thanks!

Hi Tesla Community,

I'm planning a road trip in Colorado and will be staying at a mountain cabin Airbnb. The nearest Supercharger is 2 hours away, and I need to figure out a way to charge at the Airbnb to avoid anxiety about charging.

1. Can I use a 240-volt dryer outlet for Level 2 charging of my Tesla?
2. What type of adapter will I need for this setup?
3. Any safety tips or considerations when using a dryer outlet for charging?
4. Has anyone had similar experiences and can share how it worked out?

The regular 120-volt outlet charges too slowly, and I don’t want to worry about running out of charge because we will be using the car throughout the day. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello fellow EV owners and enthusiasts,

I recently purchased a Tesla and have been using an app to locate free charging spots in my area to park my Tesla overnight. While some locations, like hotels and apartment complexes, clearly indicate that charging is exclusively for guests or residents, I've come across other places with less explicit guidelines.

These places often have EV charging stations with two signs side by side stating "EV parking only" and "unauthorized vehicles will be towed." However, it's unclear whether the towing warning is solely intended to deter non-EV vehicles from parking in these spots or if it's directed at individuals who are not patrons of the establishment.

As a new Tesla owner, I'd like to respect the policies of these establishments while still benefiting from their free charging offerings. Since there is a sign that explicitly states for EV vehicles only, that means my vehicle is authorized, correct? I'm hoping to gain some clarity on this matter from others who may have had similar experiences or insights.

If you have any information or advice regarding the use of these charging stations at businesses without explicit restrictions, I'd greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Best regards

It is now day 9 of me not being able to open my 2014 Model S.
- Both key fobs don't do anything (also with a new key fob battery).
- App can't connect (spinner keeps spinning).
- I tried placing the fob on various places on the lower passenger side windshield; apparently there should be some sort of key reader there (?).

I have opened the nose cone, and am measuring 2V on the 12V circuit.
I have replaced this battery 2 years + a few months ago. Seems short for it to already fail (also, I'm guessing the warrenty on it is 2yrs...).
I have not seen any replace battery warnings.

I am currently drip-charging the battery via the nose cone connections.
So far cannot connect. Any suggestions?

I've tried to reach Tesla by mail, but got forwarded to the App, on which I just get absurdly high quotes, instead of helpful advice. Is this normal? (I am in the Netherlands)
