    Tire pressure issue

    This is a known issue. I have mine rotated front to rear, and TPMS is still wrong after many miles and also after resetting.

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    Hmm. This is an interesting discussion 😂 My reason for wanting the Macan is that there are too many Ys on the road now. But, I have to be convinced that the Macan is not inferior to the new updated Y first. I can afford to get the Porsche, but I hate the idea of getting anything inferior...

    I am sitting (impatiently) on some ROTH backdoor conversion $ too since I think SP will drop further. I might go 50/50 TSLA and BYDDF.

    TPMS tire location wrong after rotation

    I just remembered that I didn’t have this problem with the first tire rotation and I didn’t have to do the reset. Weird!

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I think you may be underestimate the value of a driven leader with vision. The culture will be lost (not immediately), but overtime without the spiritual leader. It’s unclear what is going to happen at Amazon now that Bezos is busy with his new life (and new wife).

    Elon Musk Biography By Walter Isaacson

    I love this part: ”His tweets about voting Republican because Democrats were the party of division and hate were sticking in my craw. Even if Uvalde never happened, I probably would have brought it up, because I was angry and offended,” David told Isaacson.” It has to be said.

    Sound deadening to quiet road noise. Any experience?

    Carwow just did some testing on the reduction of noise in the updated model 3, and it comes out to be about 3 dB. That just shows how difficult it is to reduce the noise. Factory installed noise reduction and better aerodynamic improvements only get a small reduction. Sigh!

    Supercharger connections in Canada

    One of the superchargers in Vancouver, BC is so crazy cheap. I asked Tesla navigation to show supercharger locations and it shows 3 nearby ones. The one located 6 miles south shows CAD $.10/kwh. I charged my MY from 20s to 86% for less than CAD $5 which is USD $3.67!

    Can I still use Tesla data plan cross border

    Yes, my understanding is that Tesla premium connection works in both. In fact, we are going to Vancouver, BC this coming weekend. And Canada and US have mutual auto-insurance agreement that covers both countries.

    Tesla F.U.D. appearing again

    Model Y Blind Spot Question

    I agree with you completely. Even after clipping off those two stops, the driver’s side mirror still does not show as much as other cars I have. I also think if I can get used to the camera display it would be non issue, but the display is still too small (for my eyes) to be able to see...

    Model Y Blind Spot Question

    I don’t know if it is still the case in later models. My 2021 LRMY has to have two small tabs (on the left side behind the mirror) removed to make it move further out. if you don’t know about this, you can search here in the forum for info.

    Brief FSD beta 11.3.6 report

    I must say autopilot has become worse under this vision only release. Today while on the freeway, it tried to take an exit (on the left) instead of going straight. I had to jank the damm car back which scared the crap out of my wife. Very disappointed. All we’ve been hearing is that this...

    charge my Tesla y while on vacation?

    Last year I was away on vacation for 3 weeks, and if I remember correctly, I left the car unplugged at 80 perc. After 3 weeks, the car barely lost any charge (sentry was off being at home in the garage). Is that bad (I will be away for 4 weeks soon)?

    Brief FSD beta 11.3.6 report

    This (autopilot suddenly dropping speed on freeway) happened to me yesterday on my first drive using 11.3.6. I don’t remember it happened before on this same stretch of freeway. Is there a setting somewhere that might mitigate this situation (for example, allowing/keeping the set speed...

    Latest FSD beta issue

    I used autopilot for the first time today after getting 11.3.6, and the car made a sudden slow down (a little bit of a braking) on the freeway. There were no cars around me at the time and I was going at 68 mph. All I could think of the reason for the sudden slowdown was the speed limit...

    2023 MYP software update

    This thread prompts me to try to change the mode to “Advance”, but I can’t seem to connect to the car through my app. So I went to the car to see if I could change it on the center screen, and it shows that it’s downloading the new version (It is too busy downloading to respond to the app)...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I agree that the noise seems to be coming from the front (tires). I had mention in one of my previous post that after I covered the rear wheel wells with butyl, both my wife (which has extremely good hearing) and I thought that is where the noise originates from. 😂

    I was surprised that I paid $17 to charge 40 kWh yesterday in Aberdeen, WA Supercharger. That was .425 per kWh! I have not been using supercharger for a year (or so), but this seems pretty high. Has Tesla been raising the price?

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    That makes sense. I think there are two primary sources of noise. One is the wind (as the car moves through the air), and there is not much we can do (unless we change the glass and the roof). The other is the road noise which putting the butyl on the wheel wells might help, but doing a good...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Agree. As I reported previously, I found no measurable difference after putting the butyl on the rear wheel wells. If I remember correctly, Bjorn (the guy with YouTube channel) had a professional job done on the whole car and found no noticeable improvement.

    Anyone installed these wheel wells for noise reduction?

    Okay, I think you just talked me out of it. I do believe that it might marginally reduces the noise level, like you said 5 perc. There is no way that it could reduce from 80 to 50 db like they claim. I tried putting the butyl on the rear wheel wells (I don’t have the booming problem caused...
