3bc783 | iPhone USB support? | I was just at a Tesla showroom and plugged my iPhone 6 into a P85D with the lightning-USB cable. All it did was start charging. I was expecting it to play music over USB and allow me to change tracks see playlists album art and the works just like for example a Toyota Corolla. Does anyone else think this is a pretty serious lacking feature? I m not expecting CarPlay or anything but come on - most cars in the last 5 years with USB will support the iAP. Is Tesla just not a part of the MFi program? | savedatheist | 2015-06-27 20:52:16 | 32 | csktl1u | Just pair your phone and the car with Bluetooth. Then there s no need to even get the phone out of your pocket and you can browse all your music on the 17 touch screen. Hardly an issue. In fact it s even more convenient than fumbling with cables everytime you enter the car. | UniverseFromN0thing | 2015-06-27 21:15:44 | 6 | Tesla companion app features |
bx5peq | iPod touch as phone key? | I ve been toying with the idea of going minimalist and ditching my smartphone mainly because I completely lack the self discipline to unplug and leave well enough alone. That being said I m getting a model 3 this year. How well will an iPhone touch work as a phone key on a model 3? Has anyone tried it to good effect? Will I be relegated to a key fob? | RolandOfEld33 | 2019-06-05 18:03:18 | 12 | eq3n7dd | One day Tesla will just release an official Apple Watch app ^^^right? | dubsteponmycat | 2019-06-05 18:26:54 | 16 | Tesla phone key functionality |

4w28ne | if the gigafactory is so key to Model 3.... | Elon has said the gigafactory and it s price savings on batteries is key to the model 3 s price point. If that s the case how is Chevy bolt competitive without a gigafactory and their vertical integration? If another sub would be more appropriate for this question let me know. | TDual | 2016-08-04 02:09:15 | 21 | d63dma4 | Maybe they re selling it at a loss like other automakers do with their EVs. Could also be taking a lower margin. | legomanww | 2016-08-04 02:11:40 | 14 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

While Tesla Panasonic are building a plant for 1 vehicle model LG has already 3 worldwide EV battery plants cranking out batteries for pretty much every other automaker on the planet. They have decided to own the EV battery market and as such poured enormous amounts of capital into it for the last 10 years. http: www.greencarreports.com news 1102256_lg-chems-large-battery-plant-in-china-took-less-than-2-years *I used to work in the EV battery division at LG.

I think it comes down to the scale of the enterprise. Also in the same wired article GM aren t even expecting to make a profit from selling the Bolt. The quote is Even if sales revenue from the Bolt doesn t equal what GM has spent developing the car—which is likely because battery power is still expensive. So making a massive battery factory to lower the cost will help Tesla make a profit from the Model 3. | Gweeeep | 2016-08-04 07:01:17 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
cix06j | im thinking about building a Tesla solar roof on my apartment building | Hi. My Dad currently owns a roofing company. and no weve never installed solar roofs. But i own my own apartment building that i rent out to tenants. It houses 10 units and its about 5000 square feet of roofing. The average energy cost in the summer is about 800 kWh per unit some more- some less. I would like to offer FREE energy to my tenets. (dont shame me) because my dad passed on this unit to me i want to pass on something to people who are really struggling. My only estimate has been in my head that i would cost upwards of $150 000. The question is will i have enough square footage of power to keep these peoples lights on. Thanks. | OfficerWade | 2019-07-28 15:16:49 | 42 | ev9p4g0 | Is there a way to keep every unit individually metered so they can still get tons of free solar but if they abuse it they have to pay for the excess? | NonautonomousJob | 2019-07-28 15:28:25 | 16 | Tesla Solar Panel Decision |

This is (or was) true in College Station Texas. Apartment complexes used to compete on this but the utilities found that the tenants tended to set their AC systems at 64 or so and it used tremendous power. As a result you can only offer free electricity if the entire complex is centrally cooled. I love the idea and strongly support it but might want to check on that. | rdmartell | 2019-07-28 15:59:05 | 13 | Tesla Solar Panel Decision |

There s likely even more bang-for-buck for pre-heating hot water (either direct or via PV + electric). 2. there s likely shared areas (hallways garages) with a separate meter and that should be easy to plumb into which will reduce the ground rent component especially if these areas have electric heating. 3. are there parking spaces? These could all be wired up with free electricity—and avoid all the stress when the tenants get electric cars in due course. 4. there might well be grant matching schemes for doing such a large roof whether with normal panels or a full Tesla Solar roof! Definitely go for it. Every bit of Solar and PV installed helps! | paul-sladen | 2019-07-28 15:51:49 | 8 | Tesla Solar Panel Decision |

hge21d | induction wheel vs t sportline | So I ordered a Model Y with induction wheels but I m thinking of changing the order to gemini wheels and then upgrade to aftermarket 19 wheels from tsportline.

The hardware is there but the software will take another couple of years at least. Initial 3 deliveries will have to be the old-fashioned way. I could see this happening eventually though. For people worried about putting thousands of miles on the car before you even take ownership they could still train truck the cars to a nearby distribution point then turn them loose from there. | mikeash | 2016-10-20 17:41:13 | 40 | Tesla companion app features |

Charges from solar panels in announcement above. * Gigafactory will be built on two locations in the US five EU countries and Norway. * Mobile superchargers available to any location anywhere that has the power to drive them. Installation cost minimal delivery time 1 week across the globe. * Battery breakthrough - research department has discovered new techniques that allow energy density to triple thus giving 85kWh 150kWh and 225kWh battery packs.

Faster browser ability to use addins(to block ads or convert telephone numbers in to links(telify). * Carplay and Android Auto support. * Better range estimation based on temperatures elevation speed limits etc. * Better navigation based on energy use. Provide route options for fastest and most efficient(less hills more consistent moderate speeds). * Geofencing for auto height adjustment so you can tell the car to remember an adjustment and perform the same adjustment in the future when the vehicle returns to this geolocation. Option for auto-adjustment that would raise the vehicle height when pulling into an area where other model S owners have also raised vehicle height. **Done in V6** * Better center console storage cupholders. * Door pockets that can hold water bottles. * Winter package now includes heat pump heater and heated steering wheel. * Pano roof insulation for cold weather to reduce heat loss. * 110v outlet that can provide 15A to power any type electronics you want. This way you could use your vehicle as backup in case house power goes out or use any electric device in remote locations or while camping. Via motors offers this on their trucks. * Aerodynamic wheels that look good(and allow easy access to fill tire air pressure) * Eco mode that remaps the pedal for slightly slower acceleration it might also help to reduce power draw and extend range. My wife doesn t want need instant acceleration. **Modes are coming for P85D** * Model S X with towing package. New video titled Bro Do you even Tow? showcases best in class towing by outperforming the F-150. * LED headlights(most of the other lights are already LED) * Eco-cruise control mode for this that would allow the speed to float +5 -5 mph depending on terrain. **Aparently autodrive aggression level can be adjusted...** * Climate control range. For instance you could set your range to be plus minus 3 degrees. Then set you temp to 71 which would mean that you are OK with any cabin temperature from 68-74. Then the car won t have to work as hard to maintain the temperature. I would also like to see rear view mirrors replaced by cameras and screens for better aerodynamics but mirrors are a regulatory requirement in many countries so this is not currently possible on a production vehicle. | paulwesterberg | 2014-08-27 21:09:20 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

ady6w2 | minor bumper scrape = $4000 repair | Someone scraped the front bumper of my Model 3 in a parking lot. I took it to an authorized Tesla body shop and was quoted $2K to remove the bumper paint it and put it back on. I thought that was absurd so I took it to another shop and that one gave me a $4K estimate! I wrote to Tesla body repair and asked for a price if I were to take it to one of their own repair centers. A rep wrote back the same day to say that they d give me a new bumper painted and installed for $800. Unfortunately the nearest Tesla body shop is 4 hours away.

Long story short turning right on red no one was coming I started to turn right car in front of me didn t. My own dumb fault. I sent all the pictures to Tesla and was quoted the same $800 to replace the front bumper. Now some things for you to keep in mind since my Tesla body shop was by my work. First off I don t know where you are located. I am in the Chicago area so I have a Tesla body shop close by. You ll have a 4 hour drive. The rep you are talking to is in all likelihood an estimator in Freemont and not with the body shop itself. He had told me it would be a 2 hour job. It took a month for them to get a bumper. Now my 3 is the standard black. They shipped a bumper and the first one they got was silver. It then took another week to get a black one. For the repair itself it took 3 days. The body shop itself told me straight up it wasn t going to be a quick 2 hour fix. They did a fantastic job however I am warning you of this because you have a good distance to travel. Good luck. | Bobtilton | 2019-01-08 20:37:29 | 10 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |

The cost of a new bumper from Tesla is $330 + tax. Let s say painting a bumper costs $500 at the extreme. Replacing the front bumper with your newly freshly painted bumper is at the most a 2 hour job. $150 an hour that s $300. Let s say 4 hours for the extreme so now that s $450. So the total maximum it should be is $450+$500+$363= $1313. Now for just a front bumper that s close to $1500. You can find plenty of shops that will do it much cheaper. You can easily have that bumper painted for $250 and then find a shop to replace it for you for less than $150 an hour. The Tesla price is a great price for the work. I d recommend just doing that. | Yaro_S | 2019-01-08 20:46:26 | 7 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |

qwbwak | model y audio | why does my teslas audio keep not using all of the cars speakers. it only uses the front speakers sometimes. restarting the system corrects it every time but that s getting annoying. | zenedabean | 2021-11-17 23:28:11 | 30 | hl2fxck | We have the same issue. We talked to our service center and they said it s a known issue that should hopefully get solved with a firmware update. It s frustrating as I do think it s a hardware issue as others have had their amp or other components swapped out and it s permanently fixed. It s frustrating to have to reset the car every time I get into it. | hokeyplyr48 | 2021-11-18 01:59:41 | 15 | Spotify Gapless Playback |

fo9p6y | model y delivery status | my friend who ordered a model y got an email from Tesla to finish his paperwork (trade in financing etc). He s still waiting for his VIN number. I ordered mine around the same time as my friend but I never got any such email. Yesterday I was randomly checking my reservation page and I see that I can now also fill out my paperwork for trade in financing etc... Has this happened to anyone else?

I placed my order and didn t finish any of that up. I was waiting to get financing once I had a vin. My advisor told me that you don t get put into the queue for a vin until you finish all those sections. I explained to him that I had been waiting on Tesla to get back with me regarding my trade in and I wasn t sure what financial institution I was going with. He said to put my current or any bank because it doesn t matter it can be changed later on. You just want to finish those as soon as possible. About an hour later I checked my reservation and the trade in info was updated. A few days later a vin showed in the source code. Took delivery 3 weeks later. | ocularpenetration | 2020-03-24 18:17:17 | 5 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

It takes me 3 hours to hand wash my car as I want it done a certain way and I would not trust anyone else to do it other than a professional detailer. Before the Tesla I ve never washed a car before. Same goes for the interior apart from some basic cleaning with a moist and clean microfiber towel. Ask what level you want the car charged and return the car back clean and perhaps vacuum the interior of the car making sure not to scratch anything. The doorsill plate of Tesla s are very easily scratched so be careful when getting in and out of the car or allowing the vacuum hose or something to drag along the car. Just return the car clean and in the same way you found it. I would also call my own car insurance to make sure I have enough coverage for the car. | ThermoElectricMan | 2020-05-21 17:05:45 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

yr3j0w | new energy dashboard implies 95% regen efficency | 88 mile (140 km) round trip with 2700 feet (820 m) elevation drop on leg 1 and the same elevation gain on leg 2. Energy dashboard says “Going uphill cost 11.5% and going downhill saved 11.0% since you last charged”. To me this implies 95% (11 11.5) of the energy was recovered by regen. I thought regen efficiency was closer to 85%. Am I missing something? If correct this is pretty impressive. Speeds were always < 60 mph (96 kph).

I never used the brakes on the way down. Very satisfying experience. | brandude87 | 2022-11-11 04:43:58 | 7 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
bly500 | new owner great experience so far | I m in Seattle and ordered my M3 standard with FSD online on my phone 4 30 car was delivered 5 4. bought it the day before the price of FSD went up no problems with the car the process or delivery. couldn t be happier!

82jnji | non owner - configure and ordered on the 22nd..just checked my tesla and I have a vin assigned (discussion) | I have not heard from anyone at Tesla but I def have a vin. it ends in. F008157 What all information does this give me and is there anywhere I should upload that information to? I m in Miami Florida. I wonder now that a vin has been assigned how long until I pickup the car. Side note this works perfectly for me because I just put up my current leased vehicle on swapalease 24 hours ago and someone has already committed and is applying with bmw to take over the lease which is supposed to take about 3 weeks to process. *edit* on unsoundgum recommendation i just called in to tesla where the rep shared with me I do have a sales consultant assigned. He shared her name and email so I can reach out but being that vin is assigned I am a week or two out from delivery. (Watch it land when i am away for a week on work that would make the most sense would happen to me) and that current tesla rates based on the average of four banks for apr is about 3.25% so Im def going with a credit union. | infoe36069 | 2018-03-06 23:24:54 | 67 | dvalrxh | What color did you order?

8ykfzl | non-P AWD buyers who configured in Late May..... | So I appear to be in a small subset of customers who configured in late May whose delivery estimation disappeared entirely after putting down the $2 500..... After hearing a whole lot of NOTHING while everyone else is suddenly seeing their delivery estimate slide up one month I called today. All I got was the expected canned answers as if he was reading the information directly off the MyTesla page. The only real new nugget of information I got is that because the delivery estimate timeframe has disappeared from my account he implied that I am further along than those who have the Aug-Oct or Sep-Nov windows still listed on their accounts. He told me I should be hearing from a Delivery Specialist within the next week and to call back if I don t. Wish I had more but this is the 1st time I ve even been able to talk to a person since my delivery estimate disappeared. Baby steps. | Electric_Luv | 2018-07-13 14:30:53 | 41 | e2bivjk | Thanks for the update.

nehpyx | noob rents a model Y | I ve been thinking that next year I would hope to get a Tesla and had been lightly researching the different models and features. When the hysteria about a gasoline shortage sprung up and my family had a trip scheduled to go from the East coast of Florida to the West coast I spontaneously decided to rent a Telsa for the trip to not worry about gas and evaluate how I would like one. & #x200B First I loved many aspects of the car that I m sure virtually everyone in r TelsaMotors knows about. Quiet roomy excellent ride cool computer system visualization of cars and obstacles etc etc. & #x200B The car I rented through Turo only had the basic Autopilot. I didn t think to check since I had always assumed that I would get the more advanced system and I just assumed everyone would do the same . & #x200B Leaving on a Friday we headed across florida first on the turnpike and then on a mix of 4 lane divided highway and 2 lane roads. The radar cruise control worked well but didn t seem to do the stop and go correctly.

Fortunately the stop and go portion of the trip was just a few minutes so I didn t get to check if it that was what limited it. & #x200B ? Most of the trip across was 2 lane roads mostly unlit and dark. I found the Auto steering to be unpleasant. When meeting large trucks at 60+ mph I like to hug the right shoulder and give more space to oncoming traffic. The auto steer doesn t do that. It precisely stayed in the middle of the lane. I eventually disconnected the auto steer and just did my hugging thing. & #x200B ? On the return trip we went I-75 the whole way across Alligator Alley. Auto steering worked great! Only once in a 200 mile trip did it do something wrong where it started to follow an exit ramp. I m not sure if it would have corrected its path but I interrupted it by instinctively jerking it back to the correct path. & #x200B ? However I found passing to be very frustrating. If I signaled to change lanes it would disengage (which is ok I understand that lane changes is not a feature of the basic Autopilot) but it would do its disengage chime. Then when finishing the pass I would re-engage with another set of chimes. I don t mind the chimes but it distracted the family from the book we were listening to. Fortunately traffic was light on a Sunday morning so this only happened maybe 10 times in our four hour trip. I tried the move-the-right-control-stalk-up trick to disengage the autosteer but it still made the chime. Most annoying. Is there a better way to handle basic autopilot steering and passing? & #x200B Various other observations: We went to a total of four superchargers. I was a little concerned that i d get there and there would be a line of people wanting to charge but that was never the case. I guess they were all version 2 s since they all had 2A 2B kind of markings. One of superchargers was before the trip to top it off so it was just me. Two of the other stops we scheduled a meal at so that worked out great. The last one the kids did karaoke using the car s entertainment system so that was cool. & #x200B The side mirrors seem a bit small and I might investigate aftermarket mirrors if (or rather when) I get a Tesla. I didn t really like doing everything through the touch screen. I just want to lower the fan and you ve got to take your eye off the road and touch smallish icons. The doors seemed a bit clunky?

6iksrk | now that it s hot | The ac in my car sounds like a gas powered leaf blower. It makes the steering wheel and pedals vibrate. I have found posts saying this is normal but wanted to make sure. My car is going in for service next week and I need to decide if this is something I need to really complain about. So far the service center has told me two weird sounds in my car were normal until I pushed and then they fixed them. I can t exactly trust them with things like this and have to be somewhat forceful to get them to take sounds seriously. Appreciate any help deciding on this subject. | KratosJonesPSN | 2017-06-21 09:47:11 | 17 | dj7009s | It s definitely the loudest part of my model X but I always assumed that was a relative comparison (i.e. the rest of the car is so quite).

I reserved a Model Y for two days from Herrtz. They will bill any super charging fees to the credit card you used. | G-Note | 2022-08-28 20:13:55 | 14 | Test Driving Tesla Models |

4fn7ij | placing an order vs. buying car in stock on lot | I ve asked Chevy dealers if when I can place an order for a new 2nd-generation Volt and I ve asked a Mitsubishi dealer if when I can place an order for an Outlander PHEV. In all cases I heard no good answer just silence. Dealers seem to be interested only in selling stock on hand not in helping customers place orders for what they really want. This is in contrast with Tesla where custom orders are the way to go taken to the extreme level of advance reservations in the case of the Tesla M3. (Giving new meaning to M3.) | gc2488 | 2016-04-20 13:04:14 | 13 | d2a98wm | Dealerships have no interest in finding ordering the car you want. They want to sell you the cars they have. Nor do they have any interest in selling you electric vehicles that require much less maintenance than the standard ICE car. That s where the dealership makes their money. This is why Tesla wants nothing to do with dealerships. And just a quick PSA: M3 is a BMW. Sorry pet peeve lol. | TheKobayashiMoron | 2016-04-20 13:22:06 | 24 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

It s easy to order a car direct from Germany from them. | magic-the-dog | 2016-04-20 15:12:52 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
1k73x2 | please Tesla don t let the EVs become like the phones were. (charging standardisation) | Hi all I see that Tesla is doing great stuff with superchargers and even battery swapping ! that s really really awesome and these supercharging stations are one of the things that will push electric vehicles to be more interesting. congratulations Tesla for this. However how much should the licensing fee be to use such superchargers ? every EV could benefit from them it s just electricity. When X will start delivering full electric vehicles they might even develop their own supercharging solution. There will need to be specific charging stations for each brand ? ridiculous ! is there a way to have Tesla and other car manufacturers to agree on some charging station standards ? if that s done there could be a way for the car to tell the charging station how much power it needs for the carging to be optimal (depending on battery and so forth). Swappable batteries also has this problem : even Tesla will have to change the way they use batteries in 15 years. Will the super chargers be limited to certain batteries ? Again if there are agreements on some standards a supercharging station could take any battery and a Tesla could take any battery as well. Imagine : we don t have a 85 KWh battery but we have a 60KWh. do you want to use it ? and at the next station there s a 85KWh available and the Tesla gets an 85KWh battery. This is possible because all Teslas Model S have the same battery mold . But will the moel X have the same batteries ? will there be 2 spaces in the battery swapping system one for model X one for model S ? what about gen 3 ? ANOTHER battery system ? what will be done for roadster owners ? What I think could work (I don t really know that much so please comment if I m wrong) would be disassembling batteries in the battery swapping station to charge the cell packs. When a car comes the whole battery of the car is brought down it s cells are removed and replaced by fresh ones. if the cell technology changes it might be even possible to continue using old EVs as the battery is just a cell container. the phone industry was just a mess with all the different chargers for Nokia sony samsung and so forth (even from the same company !) before agreeing on USB. I don t want to see this repeat itself and I d love Tesla to show an example of easily changeable charging technology. An ideal solution would be something completely open so other companies could build superchargers. Sorry for my english I m not a native speaker. | toniglandy1 | 2013-08-12 09:02:04 | 21 | cbm2ocv | Tesla isn t the only manufacturer of EVs and certainly not the first one - sometimes it s easy to forget that fact if you re browsing reddit. ) Of course there is a standard for charging vehicles: IEC 62196 has been existing for more than 10 years. It even specifies possible connectors for example the Mennekes connector (used in Europe) or the one described in SAE J1772 (used in the US). As far as I know your Tesla comes with a J1772 connector. You should be fine using public charging stations as long as you stay in the US. Swapping batteries is a whole different thing and I don t think there will be any standardization. There are just too many differences between two random vehicles (cell type battery and module design and most of all vehicle integration). And judging from the reactions swapping isn t the way to go for most OEMs. | QuodEratExpectandum | 2013-08-12 12:07:28 | 6 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

So at least they re thinking of providing a service to those to for a fee that is. | snoozieboi | 2013-08-12 11:14:08 | 5 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

You will be able to get all the charge you need at home by the time EVs really take off. | [deleted] | 2013-08-12 12:54:24 | 5 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
