    frozen windows dangerous closing them

    i yanked on door to open it just worked there was a scraping noise but i thought it was ice cracking. it seems opening is safer than closing with windows frozen in full up position.

    today my rear door windows were frozen up. i was able to get the door handles open and pulled the door open but when i went to close the door the top of the window was catching the frame since the window was frozen and didn't get a chance to slightly open. if i had just slammed the door shut...

    Is there a way to charge an e-bike with a model Y?

    newer model Y has lithium 16v battery outlets but apparently Jackery still charges from the outlet so yes that is the best option if you have older 12v battery you can buy a cigarette lighter inverter with a AC plug socket but ebike chargers typically request 300w or more and a 12v inverter...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    well my Aug 2023 TX build with 3 free months of FSD just got the update to FSD Beta and it is a little dangerous especially making turns from a stop. however the auto-park for parallel parking and summon features still aren't working. at least i get to try FSD Beta for a few months.

    Model Y Floor Mats

    i just got Taptes Model Y latest 6 set mats for my Aug 2023 build they fit pretty good. the rear seats mat middle tongue doesn't fit exactly it has to bend a little under the center console but i suppose it holds the mat in place better that way. the rear hatch mat has humps on the curves...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    i think the problem is Tesla's naming for features is confusing. when i read Park Assist is working I'm assuming that means auto parallel parking but apparently it only means showing the lines around the top down view of the car. same with FSD i was thinking i was getting the full deal like...

    using your numbers for the lease calculator the money factor/APR is very high money factor (lease garbage talk) .0036 equivalent to APR of 8.7% i wouldn't borrow at 8.7% would you?

    Tesla Dashcam destroying USB drives

    i've had this happen to me in the past month when a firmware update caused a lot of touchscreen unresponsive errors. the USB would stop and start working randomly then finally the USB drive finally failed and wouldn't mount at all in a PC. new firmware seems to have stopped this.

    Liberty Mutual "alternative fuel" discount doesn't include Model 3 (or any EVs)

    This is actually opposite of original post but cities and counties charge an additional tax for alternative fuel vehicles. The reasoning is that we are not paying a tax that was built into gasoline prices that goes to road and highway infrastructure. Therefore the additional tax is required...

    Driving on Autopilot and coming up on slower cars in adjacent lanes

    i have the latest Autopilot and this just happened last week. the swerving was ALL ME no Autopilot intervention at all. if i had not intervened there definitely would have been a collision. Autopilot needs to take into consideration trying to pass slower cars in adjacent lanes and also curves!

    V9 Shrink Nav? Split Screen?

    It's more like allowing you to display 1 additional window above the media player pop-up. In the mini player mode you can have that plus camera plus nav shown. When you expand media player little more everything gets pushed up and nav is very small sliver at top. If you fully expand media player...

    "Navigate on Autopilot (beta)"

    selecting HOV lanes is very problematic in traffic because sometimes you have to get over 4 lanes to reach the HOV lane and then get over another 4 lanes to take an exit. should be an algorithm to take traffic into account and not suggest HOV lanes in relation to how close the next exit is.

    Is it smart to buy FSD for $5k while it’s still available for MX owners?

    very interesting read, but it also supports my theory that FSD is still years away given all they have to implement. and at least 1 processor upgrade if not more away, depending on what they find once they start implementing all those things you listed. my bet is 3 years away whereas Waymo...

    Is it smart to buy FSD for $5k while it’s still available for MX owners?

    FSD is still several years away based on this latest v9 update. i believe there will be hardware changes in addition to chips that will be necessary. i would wait. let me elaborate. we waited 2 years for this v9 update and it still cannot recognize street signs or make highway exit turns...

    Driving on Autopilot and coming up on slower cars in adjacent lanes

    when coming up on slower cars in adjacent lanes i notice that sometimes the car is over the line into my lane a little but the autopilot does not adjust to slow down or swerve a little. i typically have to take control. anyone else have similar experiences? maybe i am taking over too soon?

    Renewing the debate on the best Fridge/Freezer for 6 seater MX

    No it doesn't. The car needs to be in Park gear to charge. Old camper mode was basically Neutral with E-brake on, the car shouldn't charge at all. The only way to keep 12V outlets on during charging is to use a USB mouse jiggler that tricks the car into thinking that someone is inside the...

    Renewing the debate on the best Fridge/Freezer for 6 seater MX

    i've posted this in other thread: putting the car in the old camper mode keeps all 12v sockets on indefinitely instead of Park use Neutral and Emergency Brake, you can switch HVAC off, lights off, screen cleaner mode, lock car with key only thing you can't do is charge it while in this state

    Can you keep the 12V outlets on when the car is off?

    just keep the car in the old camper mode, when in D don't push P to park but select the emergency brake from control panel you can turn off HVAC and put screen into cleaner mode and lock the doors with the keyfob 20 feet away keeps all 12V sockets on
