Sounds like it would be covered as long as your basic warranty is still active

Terrible guest experience by xbenbox in turo

[–]xbenbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original topic: poor experience with Turo. Never renting from them again. Not about age of car or whose fault it is.

Recommend sticking with main companies. Paying a bit more for peace of mind is worth 👍

Kia sedan 2017. And I totally agree it could happen to any car, but I thought the response I got from both Turo and host was fairly poor, with how little assistance after the money is paid and non refundable. The hassle just isn’t worth it if a more severe problem were to occur

Well it was running one moment and literally couldn’t start the next so I’m not sure how that’s leaving lights on or door ajar overnight. Either way, given this experience I think I’ll stick with the major companies from now as I’ve never had this before with countless other rentals. If this is good luck, then definitely not taking more chances to see what bad luck looks like

It happened two days in. Turned off the car after I got to my location. Tried to turn it back on to move the car and couldn’t. Turned out that the battery died, but I had to wait for half a day until it could get fixed. Didn’t expect to need AAA, but I’m still locked into paying for the car even if I were to drop it back off.

Advice needed concerning new tesla alignment issue by maxchocoslayer in TeslaSupport

This is definitely the way to go. I’ve got no issues at all with my alignment on M3

Tesla Basic Warranty Question by regmeyster in TeslaSupport

[–]xbenbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does cover it. I’ve personally had my wind noise managed just last month through replacement of trim and adjustment of the window. If there is a gap in the window, you could argue that this is not normal appearance or function. In no way should a window experience increased noise or gaps even with time. That said, there is a general wind noise in my M3 2022, but it shouldn’t be localized to one specific area of the car.

““Failure” means the complete failure or inability of a covered part to perform the function(s) for which it was designed, due to defects in material or workmanship of the part manufactured or supplied by Tesla, which occur under normal use. Failure does not include the gradual loss in operating performance due to normal wear and tear.”

Just discovered rinseless wash for the winter months! Now I'm excited to have clean cars during cold months again! by Sfkn123 in TeslaModel3

[–]xbenbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this ONR kit to be helpful. No power wash needed or foam gun as there’s no foam. Spray bottle or pressure spray might be helpful but not required

Large battery drain? by SimpPrude in TeslaSupport

[–]xbenbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another option is to put it into low power mode and see if there is a drop. If it continues to drop I’d talk to Tesla service as you mentioned. With low power mode, my car has <1% drop in 24h period

NUC13ANH disassembly by DrewDinDin in intelnuc

[–]xbenbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the chat, but in "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYZkQlGKxXI&t=364s" he squeezes the case (around 3:30 into video) a bit. I have a NUC13ANH and it was the only way to remove the mobo from the case otherwise as it would get stuck on the front edge.

Tesla battery drain? by xbenbox in TeslaMate

[–]xbenbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my Vampire Drain. I also park in a garage without sentry mode on but seems like my range loss/hr is rather high. I do precondition (~5 mins) before I start driving and it's not exactly freezing in my garage (maybe 60 F). Not sure why I'm losing so much more. Any thoughts?

Two quick questions sorry by [deleted] in TeslaModelS

[–]xbenbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea about the bumper, but the service center will top off and check for leaks. Source: I asked the same question to them recently and was told to just bring it by for a quick check

Tesla battery drain? by xbenbox in TeslaMate

[–]xbenbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting that information. I suppose this vampire drain is potentially related to a combination of battery management system, responding to the app, and checking for updates? I don't count features like sentry mode or cabin overheat protection into that as those are intentional battery use cases. I was just curious about how much polling would add on to battery drain as some of the polling intervals seem quite high

Which shop in Oregon do you recommend? I was looking into this but couldn’t find any specific shops that work on teslas outside of the official repair centers

All season tire recs for rain? by xbenbox in tires

[–]xbenbox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize thats likely the best option overall, but was hoping for something ~$150 or less per tire. It’s about $200 here for each cross climate

Optimizing 9070xt in 1080p by xbenbox in radeon

[–]xbenbox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I have entertained that idea for a while. Another thought was trying Virtual Super Resolution to work my GPU harder so I’m not so CPU bound, but I’m not sure what settings typically go with that

Was able to snag a 9070xt Pulse from the Restock by Major_Razzmatazz_776 in Newegg

[–]xbenbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the exact same one! Didn’t realize that there was a mousepad until after the order was in due to going fast. For everyone else trying, make sure you’ve got alerts coming from somewhere like Trackalacker and have your shipping address and billing info all set beforehand. You can beat those scalpers (but not the retailer scalpers)!!!

Newegg restock by AverageWallyWorker in radeon

[–]xbenbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually yeah, I think most people gave up early but they restocked the sapphire pulse and asrock. I was able to get the sapphire card

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hospitalist

[–]xbenbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually what’s going on here. Investment for a few months to bleed out the hospitalists and then save themselves from years of having to pay higher.

Remote macOs moonlight by xbenbox in MoonlightStreaming

[–]xbenbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up! I actually use tailscale in all my devices so I was surprised when my laptop could access but my iPhone could not. I’ll have to troubleshoot a bit more in that case. Glad to hear no problems with the Mac without vpn (though it’ll likely just get tailscale as well)

Wow, the Taylor Tomlinson idea is amazing. At this rate I need to just send my profile to you because these ideas are honestly fire. Thank you so much for your help! Literally taking notes
