It is unlikely to work on older cars as well, unless they are running old software. The change occurred when Camp Mode was added. There is a connector on the left side of the driver's foot well, for the connection of a trailer brake controller. That connector has always-on 16V available...

Sounds like the Model X 16 volts fried it.

On a legacy Model X, the key fob is required to drive. Are you stranded somewhere?

If this is really true, you are in need of an alignment, badly. There is no reason folks cannot get at least 30,000 miles out of a set of tires. I typically exceed 40,000 (unless I break one).

Hankook ION EV tires for me. Discount Tires carries them. Not square, but extremely quiet, much better than the OEM contis. Plus probably 10% better mileage, but the jury is still out on that. I need to come up with a road trip to verify. Certainly not worse.

Make sure they can handle 16V. I've noticed that since Tesla upped the low voltage to 16, lighting options have become a little scarce.

I am on 12.3.6, and it just stops in front of my house. One thing that 12.3.6 does much better, it will drive through a traffic light changing to red, instead of jamming on the brakes. Also got auto park features. (I went from 12.3.4 to 12.3.6, so maybe 12.3.5 did that too).

Headphones. Lol

I would not file a claim anyway. For $2,000 it's not worth the hit to my insurance. Claim free discount is worth hanging on to, IMO.

TBH, because the Model X hood is so short, the cams behind the glass have a pretty decent view of everything forward. Plus they are behind glass, reducing the effects of crummy weather.

Change just for the H of it? There are three front facing cameras, which one do you want? How about looking out the window? The Birdseye view in FSDs version 12.3.6, is really quite good, much improved over 12.3.4 (my vehicle skipped 12.3.5). Ok... Actually I like it where it is. It can be...

With your description (crack on the inside) it should be a warranty repair. Especially if the camera housing is not right.

The part is relatively inexpensive, around $50-$60. My wrap shop had to replace two of mine. One during the wrap install and second some months later. Service Center normally has them in stock.

Then just turn it off.

I received two fobs with my 2022 Model X, original batteries now coming up on two years. Now, I hardly ever use them, mind you. But I will take one with me to get the car washed tomorrow.

Yes, it is an accident waiting to happen. The next speed bump or railroad crossing could easily generate 10X the static load. You need a trailer to carry the loads as pictured.

So you left it on the ramp, in the water? I doubt there is any alternative. It might start if you can get it dried out, but you have to at least get it out of the water. Time to unpack the tow hook at a minimum.

For years, AES Indiana (FKA Indianapolis Power and Light) offered a great rate plan for EV owners. Basically a TOU plan with bargain basement rates during off-peak times, 2.3¢/kWH in the summer and 2.7¢/kWH in the winter. It did require a separate service entrance and meter to be installed. It...

It is at the very bottom of the ICD, barely visible.

Sounds pretty normal to me. What were you expecting? Yes, I'd like it to pull into my driveway, but we're not quite there yet.

At least w 12.3.4, you must provide rotational torque every few minutes, cabin camera or not. You also can touch operate any of the steering wheel controls, like the volume control or any of the buttons. The wheel rotational requirement is significantly reduced from previous versions, but still...

Do you have more than one wall connector? If you do, attempt a charge from the same WC the X is using, make sure it still charges at 48. Since your X is showing 24/24, it is very likely you have lost one of the 24 amp chargers. The other thing is the wall connector also controls max charge...

The other thing to keep in mind is, the point at which charging stops, is not always the same. I have both our cars set to charge to 75% at home, overnight. When I start out in the morning, I will have anywhere between 73% and 78% on our X, our Model 3 is even more variable. If you are...

You should have tried Roadside, it is just below Service in the main menu. You were stranded, or about to be, therefore you needed help NOW, not in two weeks. Roadside is very responsive, like in minutes.

Change the setting in Settings::Locks Driver Door Unlock Mode. (turn it off).

The walk-up feature can be turned off or not, depending on your preference. It makes no difference to the driver door unlock mode (driver door only or all doors). If you set unlock mode for driver door only, you will not be able to open the passenger door remotely. The five passenger has two...

12 volt battery failure could occur at any time, driving or not. It is usually a very high priority fix, because it is simple, and a stranded Tesla owner is a really really unhappy camper. If they do not happen to have a replacement battery immediately available, it may add a few days to the...

Updates are downloaded quietly. When the download is complete, you are offered the opportunity to install the update. While the update is installing, the car is completely unusable, perhaps as long as an hour or two. That is why you are warned about that when beginning the installation. It...

It sounds like you may have the door lock mode set incorrectly, it is on the Locks screen in settings. If you turn it on, the walk-up, phone and fob will only unlock the driver door and charge port. If you turn it off, it will unlock all doors and the trunk. I am not sure the service center is...

Why on earth would that be helpful? Every time you walk up to your car the trunk opens? I don't think so. I have already had three or four updates, this spring. None of them mentioned that feature.

The only vehicle where precise location is an advantage, is the Model X, with its automatic door open feature. I was asked by my 2022 Model X, but not my 2019 Model 3. While I can't say for sure whether or not that feature exists on the Model 3. But UWB really would not make a difference to me.

From the owners manual... Cabin Overheat Protection: Reduce the temperature of the cabin in extremely hot ambient conditions for a period of up to twelve hours after you exit Model X (see Cabin Overheat Protection on page 162). Cabin Overheat Protection stops operating after 12 hours, or when...

It's really for survivable human protection. But It only runs for twelve hours. Multi-day it will shut off. The electronics will be fine, they were built to withstand very high temps, after it is in a car.

It doesn't work that way. Current drawn is actually less, because the voltage is lower. It is a lower voltage pack with fewer modules and fewer cells per module. It is going to produce less power. You can see that in the specs for the vehicle, lower acceleration and lower range.

The 90 is a 400v Battery, the 75 is only 350V. Thus lower output

Actually it is the "Driver door unlock mode"

Phone key support on the X did not arrive until the 2022 refresh. There is a lock mode control that can be set to unlock the driver door and charge port only, or unlock all doors. In newer cars there is a "Locks" panel in settings. I don't know where Lock Mode is located in legacy models...

It depends. I leased a Tesla in 2015 (won’t do that again). It was jointly titled/registered to my LLC, and myself. Actually I was listed first and my company second. I got the standard non-commercial rates. The question never came up.

The vehicle does not have to WEIGH over 6,000 lbs. Its GVWR must be over 6,000, which the five passenger X is, just barely. The biggest problem with "spinning up an LLC" to get the big write-off is, it requires a legitimate business purpose for the use of the vehicle. Yes, it is possible...

Personally, I really doubt you will ever see a front bumper camera on our vehicles (although "not ever" is a bit hazardous in Tesla land). The main reason is, it will be nearly useless most of the time, continuously covered by road crap. Probably the only time it will work is as you roll out of...

For me, FSD 12.3.3 came from 2024.3.10, which I have now (both vehicles). But I have had FSD Beta since 2019, now FSD Supervised.

I don't know about that. I am sure that it simply did not occur to many SC users. But I get your point.

Actually that is low. Nominal is 15.5.

I would suggest you move to a part of the country that isn't so laid back. and reboot. :cool:

I found that it will not roll through a changing traffic light. My car slams on the brakes with only a few feet to go, before entering an intersection. I wish it wasn't so aggressive (probably a NHTSA contribution) I've found the car is very good at finding a hole in traffic, and squeezing in...

You will need to provide or purchase the actual charging terminal. You can purchase charging equipment from Tesla, AES Indiana, the electrical contractor you hire, or even Amazon or eBay. I already had two Tesla Wall Connectors so I just used them. You must hire a licensed electrician to...

Only the driver door opens automatically upon approach. When the driver approaches, the other doors can unlock (based on a lock setting). But the other doors require you press the button to open the door (assuming lock mode is set up to support it). If you have an iPhone, the car takes...

Yes, I have the plan and it is amazing. We have a Model X and a Model 3. we keep them both charged, typically for less than $20 per month. total. Roughly 2.5¢/kWh. The plan is pretty simple, the rates on the sheet you have, are it. You do have to have a separate meter and service entrance...

??? My 2018 had both a heated steering wheel and wipers, I believe part of the Premium Upgrade Package, might have been Cold Weather pack. But in either case, both became standard, a few months later, still in 2018.

Agree on less nags. Also the amount of torque required in response to the nag, is substantially reduced. with 11.9, more often than not, I would over-torque and knock the car out of auto-steer.
