    Have you heated your garage with your Tesla?

    I have fully insulated garage doors, but lately the temps have been dropping to the low 20's and sometimes lower at night. My garage is currently in the low 50's. Not bad considering the outdoor temp and the fact that every time I open the garage to drive in or out, it lets that extreme cold...

    Taping your internal camera

    A long while back, Tesla had a thing for autopilot where it would track your eyes by the interior camera. If it noticed you looking down or anywhere but the road (IE, My water bottle fell off my passenger seat and onto the passenger floorboards while in autopilot. I bent over to grab it after...

    What about a 5th wheel?

    It just dawned on me... Can you even use a 5th wheel with the CT? Thinking about it's design and the entire bottom being battery packs, I can't imagine it being easy to get to the points you'd need to in order to bolt down a 5th wheel attachment and my searches have found nothing on being able...

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    After seeing the pricing and actual specs, I have to say, this was a bad crash and burn. The top model can go 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, but that's not what people buy trucks for. So I wanted your thoughts on what potentially went wrong with some of these items. First: Tow capacity. For $100k, I...

    Merge Cancellation oddities.

    Not sure if anyone has run into this before, but I've had it happen on multiple occasions and the result could easily end up with an accident. That said, I can't make sense as to why it would do this... Where I live, the main freeway is only 2 lanes each direction. It's standard (and for the...

    My cross country trip.. Routing seems to be off.

    I'm planning a cross country trip from California to Alabama. I haven't yet gone on it, but I put the information in my car GPS to see what the trip would look like, time, charge time and so on, as well as to get an idea of what the trip was going to cost me. What surprised me was the choices...

    I think my Portable Charger is dying and I'm looking for a better solution.

    I have a 2019 Model 3 performance that I charge at my restaurant exclusively (a lot cheaper electricity cost than home). Lately, I have to reset my charger 3-5 times before it finally works. I've been getting errors in the car that the charger had a GFI fault (There is no moisture anywhere...

    I can’t seem to find a true answer.

    I’ve seen some posts that power draw while in park is not calculated in your power usage (IE, using the AC in park etc), but it seems people are saying it is calculated in your kWh used while driving. I’m getting conflicting results on my Tesla, and trying to figure out what the deal is. 2019...

    Germany says we are wrong....

    According to Germany.. the combination of the ecological cost of producing the Tesla Vehicle, Batteries, and electricity to recharge them is greater than the use of diesel... So trying to wrap my head around their concepts, there is a few things to consider. Tesla, from my understanding, has...

    Has anyone used trash cans etc to test the limits of Summon?

    So as many people are exploring with the new advanced summon, I've had a lot of close calls on my very limited tests, and I don't know whether the close calls were not "close calls" but merely me not trusting in the technology to do what it should do. I, being just to the side of an aisle of...

    A long range Hybrid Tesla, thinking outside of the box...

    So I had an idea that sounds like it would work, but I don't have all of the technical expertise that some in here have, so perhaps someone here may know how viable this concept would work... So we have a great, efficient motor, but we still have limited range without taking a lot of time at a...

    What's with the "Verified owner" BS on Tesla's official forums?

    I want to lodge a complaint about features, and I can't, because I need to be a verified owner? My username and password is attached to my car... what else do they want from me? This beeping warning crap has got to stop. This forcing you into safety features that WILL cause accidents needs to...

    Charging Station Map

    So there is this beautiful charging station map on our Tesla's that show all of the nearby stations, what their max capacity is, charge rate, and how many stalls are available. I can't seem to find this page however, online. Does anyone know where/have a link to where I can look at this data...

    Which numbers should I believe?

    I've had my Tesla Model 3 Performance for exactly 1 week now, and have driven round trip to my office a minimum of 6 times now (or 12 travel attempts at 22 miles per travel attempt). In doing so, I've used it to test various travel distance numbers, and tried adapting driving habits to change...

    Steering shuddering in a brand new car. Anyone else experience this?

    I just got my Model 3 Performance last Saturday. I absolutely love it, but I've noticed one oddity, and I believe the chat operator is mis-diagnosing the problem. Although it's not 100% repeatable (it only happens on occasion at random), when merging from one lane to another, after approx...

    AC Ah vs. DC Ah

    So I just purchased my Tesla Model 3 Performance (75kwh battery). Unfortunately, I pulled a brain fart when I originally calculated my power costs as I was just thinking KW to KW. I completely spaced on the fact that the batteries are DC, not AC. So my question is, at 240v AC, how many amp...

    Is there a 208 WYE 3 phase charging option?

    I'm looking at getting a Model 3 performance and I will primarily be charging it at my restaurant. For load balancing reasons, I'd much rather run a 3 phase 208 4 wire 30 amp line off of my panel, than a single phase 208 50 amp and have a large load imbalance on the panel while charging. I'm...
