Homelink in my Model 3 was much easier to use than MyQ in my Model Y. Homelink opened all garage doors and my gate. MyQ, Chamberlain, opens my garage doors, but not my Chamberlin gate opener. I have to have the remote in the car, which I don't want, or stop and open the MyQ app on my phone to...

As a former truck driver, this was standard procedure for me for decades. Most left turn lanes are too short for 75’ trucks and have become too short for the volume of traffic today.

If it applies to you, Homelink opens Chamberlain gate openers and Chamberlain MyQ does not. It is apparently a Tesla version of MyQ

Don't worry, MyQ won't open Chamberlin's own gates anyway.

Rich Rebuilds has a shop in the southeast I believe. Electrified garage?

He admits to getting a commission, not hiding it

I checked my Y for the Holiday Update this morning that I have not received yet. Yep, just a lump of coal on my nice white seats.

Maybe plugging in a bike rack tail light to the trailer light plug would change the way the rear camera reacts to objects it sees

I remember the pictures of the normally polluted cities during the Great Shutdown. Most of the internal combustion vehicles were parked and factories were shut down. The skies were so much cleaner that you could see for miles. The big cities of Europe and Asia have probably not been that...

Tesla Vision can not see curbs and sidewalks. At best it tries to remember seeing them. All Teslas without USS need the front grill camera now. HW 4 appears to have a port for it. Seeing as the car is so smart, it should be able to put the front camera on the screen when pulling into a...

Blue Chip glass in Phoenix, Az stocks Tesla glass. Might not help you living in such a large area.

Not a very attractive panel. Dust is conductive. Probably a 125 amp panel? No main beaker either. Looks like the house was wired with 12-14/3 with shared neutral. With two different gauges on one breaker, I wonder which one is protected? The neutral for 4 and 5 could get overloaded in this...

I have a friend that lives in Chelan County Washington. I just checked online and the rate for residential is 2.7 cents/kwh. Not sure why everyone there doesn't drive an electric vehicle. Where I live I have the EV Plan that gives cheapest rates between 11:00 pm and 5:00 am. 7.7-7.9 cents/kwh...

I can't use FSDb at night because of the wipers. Living in Arizona, I have considered just removing the wipers and putting them in the frunk until a functional update arrives.

Jeep Wranglers can have this same problem with OEM wheels. After market wheels get rid of the rumble.

I just talked with Chamberlin Support about not having gate controls, again. This time a helpful man explained that the MyQ app on the phone is a Chamberlin app. The app in the car is a Tesla app. It appears that Tesla is the one that needs to implement gate functionally, not Chamberlin. He...

Hard braking needs to be exactly what it says it is" HARD BRAKING". The way mine works is I get dinged for "hard Regen". If I very lightly touch the brake pedal when regen is doing 95% of the barkng, I get dinged. Tesla needs to use brake line pressure not the accelerometer. Accelerometer...

If they turned off when parked, they would not be “parking lights”. A useful feature when parked along a busy highway.

I store my Model 3 for 4 months. Only the liability coverage is cancelled I do not cancel the whole policy due to the comp coverage being important for fires, theft, and vandalism

The upcoming "T" phone will fix all of this I am sure.

As far as hard braking goes, I thought I had it figured out. You can never touch the brake pedal if you are using Regen braking. Any very light using of the pedal will result in a "hard braking" hit. I say "thought" because I got a hard braking on one short drive while only using regen...

Safety Score is not ready for prime time. Basically it translates what others do around you into something that you are doing. Except for FCW it keeps all incidents secret until you stop and check your score. "You did this wrong, but we are not going to tell you how or where". Perhaps a dash...

Harder to bend a rear control arm because it takes hits of tension not compression. Unless of course it is on a Wrangler, then all bets are off.

Insurance companies like to say that Teslas are expensive to repair. They leave out the statistic that Teslas are involved in accidents at 1/3 the rate of the national average. I think they are using the BMW service model. If you can afford the car, you can afford to pay us more. The at fault...

If you go with Tesla insurance they turn on Safety Score. IT’S NOT VERY GOOD. I actually got a hard braking hit today using regen only. It has no feed back to tell you if you do anything wrong. When you get home you can check the app to see what it saw that you didn’t. No way to adjust your...

Insurance companies like to cite high repair costs for Teslas equals high premiums. What they leave out though, is that Teslas are 1/3 to 1/4 as likely to be involved in an accident compared to the national average. I haven't heard what the ratio is of Teslas at fault, as opposed to the other...

Funny how the freeways here get shut down mostly during the daytime commute hours, rather than when the guy is going home from night shift.

If they really want to succeed with Tesla insurance, they are going to have to fix Safety Score. I can't believe that I am alone with my opinion. Today on one leg of a four leg trip a car moved to my lane from the right lane without signaling and too close for safety score. When I got home I...

That's why long haul truckers like to run at night. Less traffic means lower chance of getting hit and more distance per hour driven. I guess that the Tesla Semi will never run Tesla Insurance. Oh yeah, Giga Whatever wants that load at the door by 4:00 am.

Late night driving is one thing, but what about hard braking? If Regen is at full you can touch the brake pedal with one feather and be ok. Two feathers and you get hard braking for 5% of your drive. At 0.3g for me, I would be applying 60 pounds of forward force to the seat, seat belt, and...

Yes and Yes

Once you save a clip, how do you share it?

Windshields are not tempered glass. The side windows are tempered. You would not want a face full of glass pieces if it got hit driving 70mph down the highway. This is why the front is laminated and this is why it cracks. Two pieces of glass with a plastic film between them. It may break...

Back in 1969 a friend of mine had a new MG. I had a new XKE. We found out by mistake that each vehicle had the same key. No fancy security stuff back then.

I second the 40,000 miles. I am at 28,000 on my 2018 M3 AWD with a lot of tread left. Another option, if you don't have room for the Modern Spare, would be to buy a decent used tire only that matches yours and carry a pump/plug kit. The big problem on toad trips that I have seen is not being...

"Cell Phones may cause Pickup Crashes". Whoops, do Cause Pickup Crashes. Where's the recall for Apple and Samsung?

I set the horn to honk on walk away. Trust but verify.

I have been considering selling my M3 and getting a new MY. The radio in the MY does not seem to sound as good as in the M3. I sat in a 2023 M3 on the the showroom floor and the radio sounded, to my old ears, just like the one in my 2018 M3. I test drove a My and sat in one one the showroom...

A white/white Model Y with a tow hitch goes over the tax limit value. Does the hitch count towards the $55K max price for the tax credit? If it does I will probably have it added after delivery. $300 vs. $7500

Was the PPF on the rear fenders installed by the service Center? Any idea which batteries you have?

It would probably cost $10 to install FSD on a new Tesla when it is deleted from a used one that you are selling. Many who have have it aren't going to cough up $15k anyway. I see no reason to generate bad feelings. Owners are Tesla's sales force. New customers can buy or not buy any options...

Someone might reject the delivery because it is the cheapest way out of the deal after changing their mind. Somewhere it says that if you cancel the order, not the pickup, Tesla reserves the right to charge you freight as well as the deposit loss. Not sure how they would collect though.

Seeing as Tesla does not want used Tesla's traded in, wholesale pricing is all they offer. It would be a benefit to current owners of Teslas wanting to move to a new one if Tesla could offer a website to help buyers that have placed a deposit sell their current Tesla. Tesla would assume no...

Any updates? Driving from Leavenworth to Tri Cities after Christmas.

I am thinking about dropping the Tesla Insurance. Driving to the Safety Score just takes the enjoyment and relaxation out of driving. I keep getting following to close hits, even though my following distances are more than FSD uses. I can not figure out where the hits come from. Perhaps...

OP was lucky that he was in the Phoenix, Az area. Not sure if I should advertise this, too many moving here already. Here goes, we have THREE Tesla Service Centers in the Phoenix area, TWO showrooms, and ONE bodyshop. If you are going to have trouble with you Tesla, this has to be one of the...

Tesla Insurance dings me if someone cuts me off, or stops to exit quickly without turn signal. The same company allows people to buy cars with "summer only" high performance tires in areas that are subject to winter weather. Somehow the performance cars need to tell the driver not to drive if...

It appears that now, 11/30/22, Tesla might have some MYP in stock. The delivery times are short for some. Thinking about selling M3 and buying a Y. I am going to wait till January to get 2023 delivery and maybe a few new upgrades.

Blue Chip

The service center in Tempe referred me to the shop when I told them Safellite might be a month out.
