I don't have any good answers for you but I have a shared experience of having to be gripping the wheel and being all over and on top of every move a car makes, and especially a car that's supposed to be self-driving. I mean I'm not the kind of person that would take advantage and think I could...

Good idea. I just miss the days when I thought having an electric car meant I could relax more.

Service center called me still wants me to come in at the end of the month and Sean from my local SC suggested that I take my phone out and take a video of my screen while it's happening but the whole point is that I can't see where I'm going so kind of a really stupid time to whip a phone out...

My issue has nothing to do with auto wipers. I just commented on this thread instead of starting a new one because everybody always gets wigged out if you start a new thread when there's one already started about the general issue. I'm not sure if you're reading my replies but I'm having the...

I think you are missing my issue here. It's stupid that the wipers wipe when they don't need to that's not the issue. The issue is me driving down the road at 50 miles an hour in a heavy rain and having the wipers stop working for no apparent reason. That actually is a safety issue. And in a...

No I am not expecting wipers to stay on manual when activating autopilot. I took autopilot completely out of the picture. The problem is that it happens incoherently it is not simply not working. It works sometimes and then randomly apparently it just stops working. I haven't been out in the...

Well I prefer they close it before I take a day out of my life to go down to the service center and then at the end of the day get told the same thing with no change. Yes it's laughable when the wipers come on on a completely dry day but I'm not laughing when I need the wipers in heavy rain and...

I'm having the same problem in my 2023 MY and it is extremely frustrating. I totally agree that this should be a basic function that is corrected as soon as they realize there is a problem with it which apparently has been going on for... Months? It's dangerous. I also felt that over 50K should...

Well since it's a random issue that comes and goes, I assumed it wasn't the motor itself, but more of the programming

Yes at first I thought it was just the autopilot glitch but yesterday I intentionally went out just driving normally with the wipers on manual...and it happened again. I put in a trouble ticket but the first opening for my closest service center which is 45 minutes from me is at the end of the...

Well I didn't think that quick in the moment. I guess what I'm really frustrated with is I shouldn't have to be thinking quickly on rainy roads. I just want the freaking wipers to work. It should be simple and intuitive because they're needed as essential safety equipment when you're driving in...

Well that's the thing! The first time it happened I thought maybe it was an auto mode I wasn't 100% sure but I just went out this afternoon and on the way to my destination same thing happened and I definitely was just in manual mode. I mean it kind of freaks me out because I pulled up the...

I just put in a service request today after the fiasco driving home when my wipers were on Auto driving in heavy rain and then they just decided to stop working. Which left me blind traveling along a wet road at 50 miles an hour. I'm pretty pissed right now but the service appointment decided...

My main problem is when I drove ice cars I could alter the windshield wipers with a flick of the left steering wheel knob. Now I have to look down at the screen to adjust from 1 2 3 or 4-speed. Today I thought I'd take a break driving home and put it on auto I was cruising along at 50 miles an...

Exactly! It's honestly a very confusing feature because they say right in the owner's manual it's not needed for the electronic components but as we've already stated, it's too hot for life forms to be in there. So I don't really understand what the feature was implemented for in the first place

I agree with your premise here but I don't know why my model y owner's manual says that that feature is just for driver comfort, not for the electronics and that they will be unaffected. Doesn't make sense to me either actually.

I see your point. Here in New Jersey, yesterday when the temperature was only around 70°F, the cabin got up to around 125°F and we weren't even to the full heat of the day yet. I was never so aware of how hot cars get, even in temperate climates, and it was more than half in the shade

Just found this in my model y manual regarding COP: "This feature is intended for passenger comfort and has no impact on the reliability of your vehicle's components." So okay I guess it's okay to cook my computer screen. Thanks for the guidance here guys. My MY has been doing some what wonky...

Okay that's reassuring. I did wonder if it runs for 12 hours and then comes back on the next day for the hottest 12 hours of the day. But are you saying that it will not run for more than one 12 hour day? I put a windshield block in the car but it didn't seem to help much the other day when I...

Okay good point

Okay you're the first one saying the electronics are fine which is what I thought the whole point was of having overheat protection in the empty cabin. I'm not sure that everyone agrees with that? I am confused and just looking to all of you guys for more definitive electronic opinions. Your...

Thank you for this informative thread. This is why I thought we had climate control for over 100 is because the main screen that controls everything in my model y does not want to be at over 100° f. Is that not true? I am actually getting confused people are concerned about leaving their...

Available just after my free trial period ends 😏

Yes thanks. I would love one of those on my 2023 MY, especially to help in tight parking spaces since my model does not have USS. I really preferred parking in my old Hyundai which had a top-down realistic view. I was surprised that Tesla is lagging behind Hyundai in this capability

I was not saying radar and USS have anything to do with cabin monitoring or wheel torque, not sure what you're even referring to there. I continue to miss those things (USS /radar) when I'm parking in tight spaces, almost every day. I was referring to several different issues in one post. I did...

Okay this may be a stupid question but in my MY if I have a front camera Okay I don't know if this is a dumb question but in my MY when I look at the camera view there is only the two sides and the rear. I don't seem to have a front camera at least that I can see on my screen. Why wouldn't I be...

Okay thanks for the advice. I'm going to open trouble ticket. I have been holding back because I didn't know if I was being too picky but it honestly is getting really annoying and has only gotten worse with the recent updates. I understand the need for safety but I'm really a very safe driver...

Okay thank you for this. I didn't want to be an alarmist and whine about everything but this has gotten really irritating to the point where I'm yelling back at the car every time it yells at me for no apparent reason...so probably a good time to open a trouble ticket 😏I'm glad to hear it's not...

And people think I'm uptight about what I'll use my car for transporting... Just hysterical photos on this thread

That pesky take control immediately message along with the warning alarm that is fairly unsettling, pops up far too frequently for me even though I have my hands both on the wheel and am looking straight ahead at the road. I'm not sure if this is a malfunction in my car or if it's something I...

Yes I'm one of the people that never had radar or USS which I'm not sure if people are referring to this as the same thing but either way I've never had either. The thing I'm noticing about these recalls and safety updates that are being forced on us is how much they are distracting my attention...

Maybe a row of spikes all around it? I think it looks pretty tough though. Somewhat space age but that kind of fits. I like it allot, and I would get one if it was more available and more affordable but interested in watching the evolution of it. I hope more people post on here that own them and...

These are great pictures thanks! For a minute when I first looked at the second picture I thought it looked like the owner had installed some kind of solar panels all over it lol now that would be kind of awesome, to have a solar-powered electric vehicle 😁

Yes I am getting this message frequently as well. I get it when I'm driving at night I get it when I'm driving in the early morning I get it when I'm backing into my parking area outside at night generally but also if it's rainy or foggy or honestly many other conditions and it is a bit...

Yes thank you and sorry I wasn't really clear on that post. I am checking the pressure when the tires are cold either when it's been sitting at home or if I've gone on an errand when I come back out of the store after a half hour. I'm glad to hear your opinion that the one pound pressure...

Thanks, very helpful, I appreciate it. I see exactly what you mean now. I'm going to start watching the efficiency on different trips. Regarding tire pressure, I went ahead and inflated my tires to 42 PSI the other night bcs they were down to about 36 or 37 PSI. However I guess from sitting in...

I also have a MY23 LR and do not have those features. I am mind boggled that Tesla would make a newer model less attractive than an older model. I was not savvy enough to recognize this difference when I purchased it. My understanding now was that Tesla has removed USS from current models...

Okay this really drives home the point about higher speeds affecting our mileage quite drastically actually. I didn't know they had a minimum speed limit in Arizona. Thanks for helping me piece this all together in terms of mileage and getting the maximum when possible

I'm confused why some people are getting well over the EPA estimated range and others are getting well under. It sounds like you took a very similar trip to the California Coast one above. Do you think you just are hitting more mountains on the way to Arizona and back? Was there not easy access...

Can someone tell me how to calculate my Wh/mile? I tried looking this up on the forum but couldn't find any specific instructions on how to calculate it.

I'm glad for you but honestly so frustrating for me as a brand new MY 2023 owner that features got removed, and I was expecting them to actually work. It feels so crazy that a newer car is simply not as capable as the older cars are now, with Tesla.

Thank you. These are good points. I'm learning how to take longer trips too. 10% could be nerve wracking but everyone says it helps to go down that low too

Good tip to use the scroll wheel to let the car know you are paying attention. I have popped it out ift FSD far too often trying to "slightly move the wheel". Will try this next time. I only have the FSD trial another month and was hoping to get to try the smart summon feature or any summon...

I'm still marveling that he named a feature that some people are waiting for, with the acronym ASS. Is he trying to point out it was asinine to remove SS before he had something else that "actually" worked? Luckily there are so many great other features in the car that it will always be a better...

THANK YOU. Sometimes it is so hard to get a straight answer out of tech support. Sometimes they are absolutely awesome and really respond beautifully and talk me through the learning curve of owning a Tesla. I mean I'm trying to do as much as I can on my own here but I'm THANK YOU. I mean this...

Yeah I've been through the problem troubleshooting with the online tech support people a couple times and I was in the middle of doing it one more time when the other fault showed up because of the wet seat issue. But that's all dried out now in the fault has cleared. However there's still...

Update: try to opening the windows and then making sure I was connected in the house to the Tesla app waited 20 minutes, but no notification was sent. This feature used to work just fine on this phone so I don't really understand what has changed. Tech support has not been any help either...

Thanks, and thanks for the help with the proper search phrase to put in. I did try to search for these issues beforehand and got some information but hadn't heard of anybody with the windows open notification not working any longer I'm beginning to put the pieces of the puzzle together and with...

Okay thanks for the guidance I appreciate it. I'm still learning but I'm catching up. The model phone I originally used was a Motorola g stylus 5G. When I started having phone issues I switched to a Pixel 5A, which is what I'm presently using. My current firmware is 23.27.7 The issue with...

Okay thanks so much for that description. It has turned cold here lately. I looked through the owner's manual but could not find a place where the icons are deciphered. I'm a bit frustrated with the consistently inconsistent issues with my phone not being accepted, and now this new issue of the...
