I think the point you are missing is that the yoke is actually in use today, and some people actually like it. Obviously not the majority, which should be no surprise (it is a change, and it requires learning new habits and those things have never been popular with the masses), but given that...

Just for perspective, here are a few more things that were described the same way when they were introduced: - the car ("Horses are here to stay, the automobile is just a fad") - touch screens ("Who would want to type on a piece of glass? So awkward...") - eBooks ("There is nothing like ink on...

The picture I added is not a F1 car, but I hear you. "Feeling awkward" is a subjective, personal reaction, it is about you, not about the thing. Having to speak in public also makes most people feel awkward, but that doesn't mean public speaking is wrong. The reason for these never ending...

AKA "habits". It also took more than 3 weeks for people to learn to drive a car with a wheel in the first place, so... It also seems like some people who drive pretty intensely for a living prefer it. So it's not all black and white.

I fly planes and drive a MX and replaced my wheel with a yoke. Couldn't be happier with it. And I understand that a whole lot of people hate it - that only proves one point, that we are all different, unique individuals, not that the majority is right. It took me about a month to completely get...

And you couldn't pay me to go back to the wheel :) I guess it's simply a matter of taste and driving style.

This just showed up in my Tesla app (2018 Model X). What is this for? I have 2 key fobs and both are already assigned. So I am not sure what this does... Something to do with the phone/mobile app? Or it's just a function to add a new key fob?

I just ordered a yoke and my choice has nothing to do with visibility (although that's a nice bonus). I have a 2018 MX and I do a lot of road trips (last one was 10k km / 6k miles). It was after this last one that I ordered a yoke, which is simply an issue of comfort for me. 90% of my driving...

Slightly off topic but related (came to this thread because my issues with MX radar): I think that with the current hardware, it is absolutely, 100% certain that Tesla's promise of FULL self driving is not possible at all, whatsoever, period. It will not happen. There are multiple reasons, but...

You are in a completely different ecosystem because you are in North America. The European models have different charging ports and our Superchargers are different as well. All Tesla Superchargers in Europe have CCS2, and the newer ones (V3) are CCS2 ONLY. So if you don't have a CCS upgrade in...

Can anyone recommend an installer in the Netherlands for the N2itive alignment kit and other and accessory installations (e.g. power frunk)?

I know I'm a few years late to this party, but I just found this thread by searching for the same issue. In may case, it's a 2018 MX 100D, and I never had a problem with the mirror not folding/unfolding until today, when I parked in an underground garage with no cell reception. This was the...

Thank you - I found workarounds as well (e.g. checking the Supercharger I am being routed to in Google Maps - you can tell from the photos if it's a V2 or a V3), I assumed that Tesla's built-in navigation would be smart enough to do that. And it may be - after driving a few thousand more km on...

I have a trip planned to the UK with my European MX. I wonder... since we drive on the right side and the UK drives on the wrong (ahm, sorry, I meant LEFT) side of the road, I wonder: will autopilot work properly in the UK? Will it "know" and automatically drive in the correct lane for the...

Anyone tried both? Which one is better?

Interesting... I am pretty sure, but not 100% sure that the V3 supercharger I ended up at was automatically added to my route by Tesla's route planing. The other interesting thing was (and I am 100% sure about this part) is that I had the "Preconditioning battery for fast charging" message on...

Thank you, I also thought of guessing the type of SC from the 250/150kW indication, but in Europe, while the newest V2 SCs only have CCS2, there are some that have both. I guess this a result of adding more stalls to existing SCs and when adding new ones, making them V3, while also keeping the...

I noticed that the auto vipers (in "beta" forever) have never been the best, but this is a new discovery for me: While driving on autopilot, if I turn the wipers off or to the "auto" setting, then "poor weather" is "detected" and AP switches off... When the vipers are in one of the full on...

I went from a MY to a used 2018 Model X so I had to re-learn how to do some things... charging is one of them. Since the MX has the older charging port, it can't use the European V3 SCs without the CCS upgrade, which is not yet installed on mine (I only had it for a few weeks). Now that I know...

Yeah, FSD is vaporware at the moment for sure. I think maybe in 10 years. I think REAL, full time FSD is not even possible without the roads themselves changing (e.g. some built in guidance system like metal strips with some kind of communication with cars) because all it takes is bad weather, a...

1. Yes, correct - there is an upgrade to CCS for MX/MY, but I'm not sure what I will gain by installing it. It may only be compatibility, but no speed gain. 2. I feel similarly, but really like the traffic sign recognition, green light chime and traffic light stop in my MY. All of these don't...

Thank you - I haven't heard of different versions of CCS, the only info I have is that here in EU Tesla SC and pretty much everyone else uses the CCS "combo" connector, which goes up to a theoretical charging speed of 250kWh. I don't recall ever seeing anything faster than 150kWh or my MY which...

I'm in Europe, so some of these questions are location-specific, so any opinions, especially from those driving a MX in Europe would be appreciated. Have been driving an MY for 15 months and now getting a second MX. I am wondering which one of these upgrades are worth the money: 1. CCS...

Because people are interested in this, have opinions, and it's an interesting and exciting topic with many different perspectives, thoughts and experiences added by those who contribute to the discussion. Isn't that what forums are for...?

Ahm... As I said, I have been driving this car for 15 months. And I am one of those people who actually reads the manual and then uses technology as intended. Yes, autopark DOES find a parking spot, indicated by a button on the screen that you can tap to start autopark. That button showed up for...

My MY with "FSD" turns off AP with "bad weather detected" when I spray windshield washer on the windshield... If I just used the spray button (which runs through the computer) and right after that it sees "rain" on the windshield (detected by the same computer) and it can't connect the dots...

I just scheduled a new appointment a while later. Things got busy at my end so I put this on the back burner and by the time I checked again, the previous appointment was gone and the "Request Appointment" button was available again. Would it have been urgent, I would have just called the...

They are not very far, a 30 min drive. They were helpful and most of my experiences with service centers have been very positive. I will just call them on Monday and see what they say.

My phone is always in airplane mode when I'm at home, on WiFi (I don't have much use for a phone number, I can't even remember the last time anyone called me on the phone...). I only turn on cellular when I expect an SMS code for some website login. It never made a difference and location...

I requested an appointment a while ago at a service center. They didn't have the part needed so they canceled it and told me they would schedule a mobile appointment instead once they received the part. I forgot all about it as I was traveling, and just checked today to find a mobile service...

There is a workaround in this thread: iPhone "Max Volume bug" and fixes yet

I have the same problem and I just set my iPhone as @adayley suggested. Still have to see if it works - I wonder if it also works the other way around, i.e. now that I have the ringer volume turned way down, will it turn my audio volume down when I get a notification while music is playing? I...

Oddly named brands that you have never heard of mean nothing. There are factories in China that jump on trends and churn out replicas of popular products in huge quantities, and there are layers and layers of resellers after them who do nothing but add their own branding (they order the product...

Is the trunk seal supposed to make a difference? I got a "10 piece" kit with a trunk seal but I don't know if installing the trunk seal is worth the trouble.

I don't have first hand experience with it but I heard good things about RPM's seals.

This one: VXDAS Tesla Model 3 Car Door Seal Kit, Soundproof Rubber Seal Strip Kit Model 3 Accessories, Wind Noise Reduction, Dirt Reduction, Weather Protection : Amazon.de: Automotive . I installed the seals on the doors and frunk, and there was an instantly noticeable significant reduction of...

Okay, so the 45 is the aspect ratio, so 55s won't fit...

Hm, the only size I seem to find available is 255/55R19 111R. I used to know what all those numbers meant, but I forget... Last time I bought winter tires was 4 or 5 years ago...

Thank you for the recommendation! I didn't know that these were not studded. Do these fit the original Gemini 19 rims of the MY LR?

I know I am continuing an old thread here, but I just installed a noise reduction kit on my MY and it did make a noticeable difference in wind noise. The kit came with 2 things I haven't installed (yet) because I don't know if I need them. 1. The trunk (hatch) seals - do these make any...

I never try to save money on winter tires - I always get the best based on review. Unfortunately, since I'm in Europe Hakkapeliittas are not legal here (studded tires are banned in most European countries). I still haven't gotten winter tires, but I will have to soon. Any other recommendation...

I wish I could get the Hakkapeliitta 10 EV, but - unfortunately studded tires are not allowed in most European countries. It has been years since I had to buy winter tires, and with the MY I have to re-learn how to pick a good one, so I hope someone can help me out with some specific questions...

I think that these should be fixed by Tesla. Drivers shouldn't have to re-learn how to use the turn signal (like your "0.5 sec hold trick"). I have no problem relearning new and unique Tesla features. But the turn signal not behaving as expected is a safety issue that can confuse other drivers...

This happens to me too, and almost always with the left turn signal. I just had a service appointment today and told them about this and I actually managed to reproduce the issue with a Tesla service rep sitting next to me in the car. I pushed the stalk repeatedly, briefly to the left to...

Update: I had a service appointment (had some rattles in the car - Tesla fixed everything, no questions asked, problems solved, no charge) and asked them about this issue. They checked the car and they said that despite the fact that it was sold in the Netherlands, it had a German SIM card...

That assumes that: 1. all roads are straight, and 2. you will never have to go from a left turn to a right turn or vice versa.

I guess there are more experiments to be done here... of course, for science

I see. I think the human mind has a tendency to focus on what upsets (e.g. annoys) it. It's really counterintuitive but the more we don't like something the more we tend to focus on it. This is how we guarantee our own misery. :) If nothing bothers you but suddenly a bee stings your elbow, all...

Of course, there are a lot of things in it that aren't perfect. But I honestly don't understand when people say the visualizations are "distracting". No one is forcing anyone to look at them. You will only notice those things if you, using your will that controls your eyes to move them in the...

That wouldn't surprise me at all. I encounter so many situations that AP can't deal with, but never mind that, I can't even imagine how it would. For example, if there is a construction or bottleneck in a road with no controls and clear rules (i.e. no direction clearly has the right of way)...
