What are you talking about bloated and losing its way? You want lite, that's exactly what the 2023 builds are working towards. The roadmap has been pretty clear. Hardware acceleration must be debugged and enabled, in order to reduce heat, power consumption, system resources, and overall speed...

You can already do that via Bluetooth tethering. Just be sure "Internet" is enabled on the Pi's Bluetooth settings. You could just disable auto connect on autokit. Might be a way to use an automated or scripting Android app to disable a USB device. I'm currently using an automation app to...

Hmm you're right, since upgrading to 2022.44.2 from 2022.44.1 I cannot share internet via Bluetooth. Edit: I resolved this by forgetting the phone on the Pi and forgetting the Pi on the phone. Then when repairing, I kept the Bluetooth screen open on my iPhone, and initiated the pairing from...

Make sure "Internet" is enabled for your paired phone in the Pi's Bluetooth settings. I think a script is needed to automatically enable that toggle.

There's an update coming to resolve the connection issues, and 64GB flash card issue with 2022.44.1. https://github.com/tesla-android/issue-tracker/issues/110 https://github.com/tesla-android/issue-tracker/issues/108

Until Mike Gapiński adds an update system into his Android distro, the only way to update is to essentially perform a full reinstall. Flashing the SD card with the updated image, then going through the fastboot install process at a terminal/command line. You might be able to just flash the...

Can you link which dongle you bought? Which version of Tesla Android are you running, the two Pi one or the single Pi version? Hook up a monitor to the HDMI output on the Pi to see what its doing.

Your cable might have a crack in one of the traces, and the way it gets bent when using the tower opens the crack. Have you tried flipping the cable around? Swap the Pi side with the Geekworm side. I actually had display corruption issues last night. Random green lines and sometimes garbled...

Yes it came with the cooler combo case I linked. The smaller plexi piece came in the box for the cooler. The other plexi pieces came in a standalone box, which can be sold separately as just a case, or in the combo cooler and case I linked. About 6 inches. I ordered the green variant. If your...

You either broke the flex cable, or it's not properly seated. The clearance between it and the tower cooler is pretty terrible. They are very easy to kink and break the copper in the cable too. Just buy a new flex cable , they're a standard part, if reseating it doesn't work. Your issues with...

Most problems people encounter here, especially wifi/internet connections are related to thermal throttling, failing to overclock the Pi, and inadequate power. You must use either high quality USB cables, or short USB cables, and a good 12V power adapter that can supply at least 2.5A (ideally...

There's no reason it wouldn't work in the S refresh. Overlap in canbus messages and computer system. Maybe just the harness has a different pinout, which could be adapted.

Finally updated the Linux Pi to 2022.27.1. Holy crap, the stability is so much better. Also finally overclocked the Android Pi, much smoother carplay performance. This project has really come along, and it's completely worth dealing with two Pis. The install process is so much simpler now...

No, they are also for Model S and X refresh.

With the previous update (version 25), the software (via audio capture) is able to have audio come through your Tesla browser and bluetooth audio simultaneously. So things like GPS navigation alerts come through the browser, while music or podcasts or whatever you are listening to, can come...

Same size lugs and interchangeable lug nuts.

Sold for $2500.

It honestly looks like tons of other master cylinder braces for other cars. Blue anodized aluminum is pretty common on car parts too. Would it have been in better taste to pick a different color? Yeah definitely. But this isn't a novel idea. The MPP one has more bracing though, so it...

How much do your LMs weight?

Darn where were you when I needed these! $50+ savings would have been nice.

Bent firewalls possibly, or just tolerances in the mounting of the master cylinder.

Text messages can be reached with one tap now. The full screen trips menu is also nice. However, I want my damn cards back, can't I just have both?

Bump, still for sale.

No, AWD models, no matter the rear motor can get a boost from Tesla. The AWD official boost doesn't boost power to the same level as the Performance model. It's only the ingenext modules which care about hardware.

Wait, you saw the picture of an owner's car, and still conclude its not used? This is a mass produced item, with a documented part number in their database. Of course it was widely used, companies don't just add parts to their databases, qualify them, and ship 1 example to 1 customer. Itt...

You've definitely got your motor information wrong in some regards. The 970 definitely existed, and was used in the LR and MR RWD models. It uses IGBTs instead of MOSFETs, and I'm pretty sure it was the first motor used in the Model 3. What I'm not clear on is how frequently it was used. I...

My 20+ year old BMW with frameless windows has no issue getting the timing right with the handle pull. Every other frameless car ever built seems to have no issue with it. Although they all seem to suffer accelerated wear of the motors and regulators. But I think that question is really not...

I'm pretty sure it tricks the car into thinking the rear has performance model power capability, not a RWD LR, since it requires a 980 rear motor in order to work. As far as I'm aware the LR RWD used the 970 motor.

S3XY buttons says it has seat controls coming soon. https://abstractocean.com/products/s3xy-buttons Their facebook actually says rear heated seats can be controlled now.

I have found in my experience, this only happens when the phone app decides to stop running in the background. Tapping the Tesla app icon on my phone (iOS) to truly open the app, seems to resolve this. Seems to be an issue with background apps in iOS. A lot of apps decide to stop background...

Alcantara or microsued is not designed to be handled by bare skin, such as with a steering wheel. It wears out way too fast and gets gunked up. It's really great for driving gloves, that's why race cars often use it. Leather and gloves doesn't grip as nicely as alcantara and gloves. For a...

Maybe it depends on the wheel? 13mm engagement is just what I measured with my Apex wheels and the stock Uberturbines.

3mm didn't clear the front suspension on my Model 3 Performance with 18x9.5" EC-7R wheels. I needed 5mm, otherwise the inner lip of the wheel rubbed on the upper suspension arm.

Most major cities and towns have upholstery shops that will do work just like this.

Definitely not normal to have a persistent wavy pattern. I had 90% tint on my front windshield on my SR+. It was a little wavy the first day, but went away as it sat in the sun for 24 hours. Have you tried leaving the car out in the sun (if available)?

3-4mm is really the max you can run without swapping studs. With 5mm, I only had 13mm of thread engagement front and back. I'm going to be swapping in longer studs soon.

PM'd you.

The biggest problem with the iOS screen mirroring apps is they cause your phone to overheat, especially if you have your phone sitting in the wireless chargers. That's where most of the performance issues people run into stem from. If you can keep the phone cool, they work pretty seamlessly...

Why would you be skeptical? The S and X had a wiper stalk. It doesn't make sense to delete commands from your system code when similar cars within your fleet have or had those controls. It takes work to pair down feature sets, and there's no benefit to doing so. Plus how do you think the...

There are two things I like about the new UI, the fact that messages can now be opened with one button press, and I like the full screen trip section (but hate that the trip card is gone). That's it, everything else is a major regression. Things are far harder to see at a glance now, fonts are...

S3XY buttons use CAN bus commands as far as I'm aware. It's not proprietary, it's a standard protocol and they cannot encrypt it on existing cars. If they encrypted it, every single button in the car would cease to function.

I have for sale the OEM shocks and springs and rear camber arms from my 2021 Model 3 Performance. This will lower a long range AWD by about 0.5". Suspension has roughly 2000 miles on it. Local pickup preferred, the shocks are pretty heavy. Located in Moorpark, CA or Los Angeles area. $400.

I have for sale the 20" Uberturbines from my October 2021 delivery date Model 3 Performance. Wheels are located in Moorpark, CA, local pickup only, but I can meet anywhere in the LA area. Wheels and tires have approximately 1000 miles, before they were replaced by my Apex wheels in late...

People frown on extension cords because they either don't have a real understanding of electricity, or they are frowning on low quality, undersized conductor extension cords. However, it is better to er on the side of caution, so it's not really a bad belief to hold that all extension cords are...

But then the NSA couldn't spy on us while we furiously enunciate random phrases.

Aerosol is going to require masking of that entire side of the car to avoid over-spray. You're going to have to feather in the paint too, and sand to blend it, or paint the entire panel, or deal with a hard masking line. It's going to look pretty bad, and you risk getting over-spray on parts...

Ah okay, fair enough. Do you think blue threadlocker is worthwhile and a mark to see if the bolt has moved?

Do you know what the torque specs are for these? Is there a shop manual available? I always had a Bently book for my BMWs.

Why do you have to loosen the bolts when changing the right height?

Why not just buy a canvas carport? They're not very expensive, and would take care of your tree sap problems. https://www.autoweek.com/gear/g35385365/highest-rated-car-canopies/
