So, my 2018 model 3 has ~61k miles on it so far, and this evening I heard from the rear(left, I think) a pretty significant noise that were this an ICE car I'd attribute to a loose heat shield for the exhaust or fuel tank, with a lightweight metallic character and a bit of an echo. Obviously, my...

So, yesterday I had my car parked outside in the sun all morning, with COP set to NO A/C. At 11:40 I happened to want to go to lunch and found(remotely) that the interior temp was 127F. The outside was only 76F, so I'm pretty sure COP was doing nothing. After a quick run out and back(11:55) I...

I've had my 3 for three years now, almost to the day. Initially it was in 'roll' mode, then 'hold' when it came available six months or something after purchase. I switch it to 'creep' and 'chill' mode for a half hour per year because I don't trust the inspection station personnel to not crash...

Soo... I made an appointment(Watertown, MA) to deal with my creaky front end(under warranty) next week, and after a short time I realized that I haven't had the rather dubious brake fluid change done yet. Its been three years and 42k miles or so, and I had heard its only like a $125 deal so I...

Thought these might come in handy to someone.. The first is my Genie Excelerator garage door opener. 5 watts continuous, 45w when the lights are on, jumping to 220w(aka 2 amps) when the door is being opened, and only 115w(1 amp) when its closing. Note that this is on a single-wide garage door...

Gloss black, comes in original box(minus some foam, but will be well packed) with all original accessories/screws/black screw caps. Looks new except for a minor scuff or two on the faceplate. Charging handle is pristine. Maybe a year's home use on it. Rev -H. I'd accept $475. Tested and is...

Brand new signature matte, 24ft, opened only to take pictures and ogle the finish as I'd never seen one before. It really is beautiful. I'd like to see $825 from it. Shipping is extra, but UPS ground looks to be no more than $50 to the most remote part of the continental US. Would ship out...

I wonder if it might be a good idea to create a 'charging' forum, separate from the model-specific battery/charging forum, since the S/X/3/Y have generally the same charging requirements, ignoring the 80 amp S's and such. Perusing the S/X/3/Y battery/charging forums, there's a decent number of...

Caution: Wall of text ahead! So, I got a secondhand Gen3 HPWC (TPN:1457768-01-F) that had known issues at full power and of course ran it right up to 48 amps to see what she'd do(note it had updated firmware). For a little while it did 48 amps, but after a half hour in my 20f garage, it...

The metal plate, not giant plastic doodad that allows for conduit-entry. If you happen to have one left over after an install, I'll happily cover shipping and a bit more. Thanks!

If any of you recent or not-so-recent HPWC buyers/installers happen to not plan to use the rear entry bracket that came with your Gen2 HPWC, I'd offer to pay shipping and some small handling charge to get it to me. Thanks! Apologies for intentionally putting this in the 'for sale' zone. The...

Just the metal plate that allows an Gen2 HPWC to be flat-mounted against the wall. Screws(to attach the HPWC) would be a bonus, but I assume they are needed for the top-entry bracket. Not willing to pay too much beyond shipping, but if you are already using the top entry bracket, the metal...

So, for two winters now, I've had a second set of tires/rims/tpms(non-tesla). I swap them out, drive a mile or two, and Stacy's Mom says something akin to "I see you have given me a set of pretty new shoes, can you tell me what(wheel) size they are?", and she's all set until March of the...

For some reason, Stacy's Mom(my 3) won't let me listen to Fox News anymore. When I select it, the 'play' button flashes from play to pause and back a few times, then gives up and "loading error" is displayed. Other TuneIn stations/content work fine. Its not a really big deal, but I'm wondering...

I'm still hoping for an option to get full-Pness for my AWD from mid 2018. I have and will avoid buying Boost, but will hop right on full-P if it becomes available.

Is there some setting I've missed? Do I have to have autopilot or TACC engaged? I haven't seen a sign get read/displayed yet.

I'm not going to buy boost myself, until it becomes full-P, but I thought I'd remind the Massachusetts folks out there that are on the fence about boost'ing that this is a tax-free weekend for us. That's $100 to be saved.

I mean, I see the 'there were N sentry events recorded' notification, and can view the events if I hit the notification right then. Is there a way to get to them after I've put it in D'rive or otherwise exited from the sentry-review screen? Apologies if this is covered in a manual.

Had a curious thing happen on the way home tonight. It was clearly getting pretty dark outside, yet the screen was very bright. My daughter agreed. I checked the 'display' settings... it was set to 'auto' (in the day/night/auto selection) and 'auto' in the brightness slider arena. The slider...

Anyone else seeing a gradual increase in range with 40.50.1? I was at 254-255 at 90% for some time before 40.50.1, got 256 during the session where 40.50.1 was installed, then 260, now 262.... I certainly welcome the returning range. The temperatures have not notably changed, nor has my...

Happened twice within a minute or two... both in the same completely flat parking lot. The first time I was parked and put it in drive, and it gently accelerated as if it was in creep mode, or maybe a little more than that. Not a big deal, but I was surprised. The second time I was pulling to...

So.... Stacy's Mom was plugged in yesterday evening and reached 90% at ~11pm... earlier this morning it was at 85%/240... a minute or two ago it was reporting 85% and 235. ... seconds ago it was 85% and 240, yet still it shows that its complete and not charging... I'm pretty sure the...

So... Friday night Stacy's Mom got the new SW that adds 'hold' mode regeneration, which the release notes suggest is really regenerating all the way to 0 and then engaging brakes. I'm having a little trouble getting used to it, but its only been a couple days. I'm more than a little suspicious...

My office has been kind enough to supply an HPWC, sadly running at 208V because 277 is no longer listed as an option in the manual, but we are running into capacity issues... They aren't insurmountable issues yet, but its only a matter of time as more Teslas are bought.... I'd like to see a...

IIRC, one of the changes made in the early days of winter last year was to have the charge port never lock below 40F, so it wouldn't freeze in the locked position. Does this not mean that anyone wanting a free J1772 adapter just has to find a 3 charging on a j1772 charger in the winter? If it...

Wouldn't it be nice to have the autopilot camera be able to recognize and focus on a stoplight(probably wanna select the particular stoplight on the screen by a press) and instantly provide a full-power launch when it sees the light turn green. I'm sure you'd want some safeguards in place to...

I have maybe 20% success getting usable video out of the right hand camera. Sometimes it affects the other cameras as well. I believe I'm stopping the usb properly, its a new 32GB USB3.1 drive, as well.

Up until about three weeks ago, my washers sprayed when the wipers were traveling up the windshield. I think that's when they are supposed to spray. Then I made the 'mistake' of trying service mode for the wipers, just to see it in action. It worked pretty much as I expected, but I notice ever...

Got the car back from the SC last Tuesday, and found that auto-lane-change had stopped working. A while later, I noticed that the ultrasonic range sensors weren't working, which I assume was causing the auto-lane-change issue. But here's the rub.... the sensors for the FRONT of the car work in...

Pardon the messed up garage... I haven't gotten the electrical inspection yet, which is why the silvery cover isn't on the HPWC. The hook in between the doors is high enough so that the cable never touches the floor, or even comes close, as long as the handle is either in the purple...

I just took delivery of my AWD 3 this morning and swapped the tires immediately. I have available for sale four Michelin Primacy MXM4, 235/45-18, 98W tires as were supplied by Tesla on the car. There are 51 miles on them, mostly highway. Anyone interested in them for $625 as a set, plus...
