    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    I came back to report that the red X came back... this must be software related

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    2020 MY. Turned off “exclude home” from sentry mode yesterday and mine is working again.

    Service center left my car blinker on overnight at their yard.

    Most LEDs seem to have an advertised lifespan of about 25,000 hours. If it's blinking at a 50% duty cycle for 24 hours... keeping in mind that the LED only lights when signaling, those LEDs will outlive and probalby your kids you and definitely outlive the car.

    2 months to fix tiny dent, 2 authorized shops near DC?

    I have a small maybe 3/4" mark from some road debris. Tesla shop $3600. Nobody else will touch it because Tesla wants them to license expensive software to check all the systems upon completing repair and that final check is required by the body shop's insurance carrier (confirmed with 3 shops)...

    Charge Port opens in Car Wash. Anyone have this happen?

    I've got car wash mode down now and even switched car wash to go with a system on a conveyor belt vs. the one that uses the rollers... it's easy now as long as you press A, A, B, B, DOWN, UP, RIGHT, LEFT

    Sudden drop in highway speed (not phantom)

    This has happened to me at multiple exits... only very rarely on open highway (usually passing under the shadow of an overhead sign.

    Sudden drop in highway speed (not phantom)

    This has happened often under the most recent update... cruising along at 68 and as I get near an exit ramp the max speed suddenly goes to 35 and slows me down fast. Have to override it until the end of the corresponding on ramp on the other side. Another example of the software getting worse on...

    Seat heater after v11 is too hot

    I'm still seeing this... don't use hot because it's too hot and never seems to turn off

    Automatic Turn Signals

    Meh... they are ok but it's a bad look for me as an older white haired guy when the don't shut off after a lane change (which is a regular occurence)

    Phone key working less often

    Mine has been working fine now... got a recent car and app update (android)

    Phone key working less often

    Recent development... phone working less often as a key (have already deleted and re-added). Samsung S22... I'll unlock the car from the app and then have to hit "start" (because I don't feel like pulling out my key). Has been working with no problems up until recently. Any suggestion?

    Is everyone's glass this speckled?

    My card had some paint imperfections at delivery. The Tesla certified body shop sprayed clear coat on the windshield. Could barely see out of it into the sun. They did fix it… not with a new windshield though.

    Snapping or cracking noise on first start in the morning

    Was away for 10 days and my car made a loud snap/pop rolling out of my driveway on Monday… did it again on Tuesday. Anyone else experience it? 2020 with 50,010 miles.

    Not sleeping well...

    i haven’t had a chance to go through the troubleshooting but have it send me a notification when it goes to sleep…. Will sleep when I’m at my office, won’t sleep at home. Couldn’t be a problem when it’s plugged in…

    Not sleeping well...

    2 year old MY... stopped sleeping. Electric bills were high... burning about $25/mo anyway while just sitting around fully charged in my garage (had almost 2 weeks where I didn't drive it recently and it never went to sleep). Takes a small charge 1x per hour. Happened when I first got it...

    Brand new model Y doors wont close due to window glass issue

    I haven't seen/heard of this... is the service center far away? I'd just call and drive it there w/o appointment (if somewhat nearby). My only other suggestion (temporarily) if the buttons aren't working on the inside of the car is to use the app and try "vent" for the windows. My only other...

    Free roll in car wash mode

    tested it out in the parking lot before getting the car wash. Worked fine (service, car wash mode, free roll). Get in line, hit car wash mode and then “free roll” is greyed out. Wtf. Jumped the roller twice before I could get it to neutral

    Is everyone's glass this speckled?

    I had some paint defects on delivery… they sent it to a body shop a few months later and they got the clear coat on the windshield somehow. Took them 2 tries to get it off.

    2022.4.5 Software release

    Ok… this one downloaded, I thought it installed but is showing me as the same older version I had. No error messages or anything.

    "Supercharging"?

    If you are buying it I'd take a test drive to a supercharger and see how fast it charges.

    outside temp

    yes... came here to post. My temp finally changed today 14 minutes into my trip. The same thing happened last week (I usually don't pay attention) but fixed itself at exactly the same point in my drive. I thought it was a "Day After Tomorrow" where the temp went down like 30 degrees in 1...

    "Supercharging"?

    I remember when Elon said that the loaners would be the newest and best, make you want to get the newest…. I’ve gotten two old Model S that should have been retired from the fleet. This one has a wonky drivers side door handle that you have to really yank on, charges at a glacial rate and now...

    "Supercharging"?

    Have a MS loaner, P85D, 77,000 miles (MY in the shop). Stopped at an 8 stall charger (250kw), 5 cars there and supercharged at 78 mph. What's wrong with that picture?

    Model Y Driver Side Footwell Heat

    Feet are frozen

    I would add that this winter I notice my feet are cold while last year it wasn't an issue.

    Had a friend with this a few months ago.... googled it, found the pebbles making the noise, problem solved.

    Tiny bit of body work, guess the estimate

    No guesses? Over $3400 to repair a 1.5” scratch. Non Tesla certified body shops here won’t touch it.

    Tiny bit of body work, guess the estimate

    Have a scratch about 1" long, not wide, a barely perceptible dent on drivers door about a foot below the mirror. Not sure what happened. It's through the paint. Went to a body shop near me, won't touch it because it's a Tesla (can't scan codes to make sure everything is working when done). Went...

    Climate staying on

    On 24.11. drive the car every day and a few days ago I came out to the car in the morning to a big puddle of condensation under it due to the AC being on. Woke up this morning to a warning that the climate had been on for an extended period. I’m not turning it on… anyone else seeing this?

    Tesla updates Key Card access to no longer require placement on center console to drive

    I think the Tesla engineers are trying to mess with me... never use the keycard (just phone) which works perfectly unless... - it's raining hard - my arms are full - (new one) I go to the supermarket and pull into a spot blocked by a carriage that nobody put away. I jump out of my car quickly to...

    bluetooth problems all of a sudden

    Anyone else having this? Phone (Galaxy Note 9) connecting/disconnecting all the time since yesterday. Here's what I've tried... deleted/readded phone, rebooted phone, rebooted car. No problems with my earbuds, just the car. Obviously makes it hard to have a phone call.

    A compliment for autosteer

    Pouring rain last week, I honestly had trouble seeing the highway markings (night, worn paint, heavy rain that made the pavement look glassy) but the autosteer held my lane perfectly. Honestly thought "how will this work in these conditions?" That's all... definitely pleasantly surprised (but...

    Weather radar

    Just a thought about a feature request… weather radar would be nice… vs loading a web page (which takes forever). Would help with our awful weather in the northeast.

    Ugh. 36 minutes to charge 110mi at a Supercharger (1.5 hours including drive of 24 miles roundtrip)

    Round trip it says I’ll be negative… not being able to drive 234 miles r/t from 100% charge doesn’t reflect well on the epa estimates.
  39. PatinCT

    Ugh. 36 minutes to charge 110mi at a Supercharger (1.5 hours including drive of 24 miles roundtrip)

    Both % and miles are garbage and are more misleading than they are useful. My daughter lives 234 miles r/t from my house and there's no way in the world my 1 year old MY makes it at 65mph when charged to 100%.

    Crack inside top glass

    If your roof were metal they would repair it subject to your deductible, probably same with a sunroof. This isn’t like a windshield or window glass. Seems to make some sense.

    Text messages (ghosts)

    It's definitely worse now... makes the text messaging notification on the screen useless. It's easier to pick up my phone and look. Sometimes 1 text triggers 2-3 old texts now

    Yes, I still have the option to buy it in the app for $2000

    Message conflict...

    The message don't show up on my notifications either (after the fact)
  47. PatinCT

    Message conflict...

    I'll take another look at the cameras, have rebooted a few times... great weather here. No snow left. It still drives fine and nags me if I get too close to lane, plus the occasional phantom braking going on as usual. Have a service visit coming next week (fog light on drivers side not working).
  48. PatinCT

    Message conflict...

    So this has been happening lately... "Autopilot safety/convenience features not running"... But while. It's running. That message shows up regularly but I can still enable it and it still autosteers.

    I Wish Tesla Offered A Discounted Acceleration Boost!

    My last 2 cars were BMW 5 series that I chipped. Maybe when my MY gets a little older I’ll want more but not now. Those tuning chips were hundreds of dollars and not $2k

    I Wish Tesla Offered A Discounted Acceleration Boost!

    I don’t. In this case the price for a software unlock seems like a poor value proposition.
