    For DIYers: adding distilled water to dead OEM 12v batteries

    Model 3/Y aux batteries (not sure about S/X) have a hole on the side of the top panel that the gasses vent out of. There's a tube with a connector that gets plugged into the hole. The Prius had the same hole and tube, since the battery was located inside the cabin, essentially -- and the tube...

    For DIYers: adding distilled water to dead OEM 12v batteries

    Some OEM lead acid auxiliary batteries on older Teslas seem to completely rejuvenate with the addition of distilled water -- the same as with many lead acid batteries. I first learned this with my previous car -- a 2004 Prius -- which had a very user-serviceable auxiliary battery. I was about...

    Supercharger - Hamilton Twp, NJ (Richard Stockton & Woodrow Wilson Rest Areas)

    Regarding that nj.com article -- July 4th holiday is three days away... ;) Any sign of activity?

    FSD Beta Autopilot options missing after installation

    THIS WORKED to fix the issue with my Model 3 as well! By chance, I had air added to my tires yesterday (don't recall if they were low enough to have had low pressure warnings prior, though). I drove a couple miles and did the scroll-wheels reset while driving halfway through the trip -- and...

    FSD Beta Autopilot options missing after installation

    Same issues for me as well, after receiving the software Wednesday afternoon. I'm about to give Uberdoodle's suggestions a try and will post again if it's successful. (My tires were topped off yesterday, by chance -- but I haven't driven around much nor rebooted the car while driving -- which...

    Roger that. I have only been there a handful of times, so gladly defer to those in the know!

    Supercharger - Kettleman City, CA - Bernard Dr. (LIVE, 56 V3 stalls)

    So, would this likely be an eventual replacement for the original Kettleman site? The 40 stalls at the old site have never been at capacity when I've charged there, so can't imagine needing both locations for the foreseeable future. The old site is in a bad spot for dining while charging --...

    OFFICIAL BUTTON WATCH

    This is an interesting bit about the new app and what was found under the hood: Tesla releases V4.1.0 of mobile app ahead of FSD button launch, but it won't roll out to everyone tonight

    OFFICIAL BUTTON WATCH

    I'm on the same version, but thought that might be a good indication, since 2021.24.11 and 2021.24.12 are the last versions that only went to U.S. owners (from what I gather from TeslaFi) -- and the button is only being made available in the U.S. at the moment. All the more recent updates went...

    OFFICIAL BUTTON WATCH

    I was just joking since someone sarcastically compared him to Jesus -- but the first hit when googling the name is about "Idi Amin," the evil, murderous dictator. But reading through his tweets, they're impressive at first -- but odd, like you say, after looking through a bunch of them. Seems...

    PTBD will be a permanent disorder that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) won't help. A lot of people will likely suffer from it. (Teslaquila might help, actually.)

    They might just go with the subscription to get the beta -- still gets Tesla some nice lucre, just a fair bit less. On that note, a potential concern is that one or more of the anti-Tesla entities out there gets the beta just to cause accidents to happen while using the beta.

    I purchased FSD with my Model 3 over three years ago, so suspect I would be among those getting the "button." My last firmware update is 2021.24.11. I noticed that 2021.24.11 and 2021.24.12 were only released in the U.S. (looking at TeslaFi's data), unlike the more recent updates (which all...

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA - Del Mar Heights Road (CLOSED 16 Sep 2021, 18 urban stalls)

    On a couple very hot or cold days, I've left the AC or heater running to slow charging (and make the car more comfortable upon return). I feel a little guilty doing it, to be honest -- it's not the most environmentally responsible thing to do, and I really don't want to leave anyone waiting...

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA - Del Mar Heights Road (CLOSED 16 Sep 2021, 18 urban stalls)

    I seek out the slower Superchargers (avoiding the 250s whenever possible) -- they're still fairly quick compared to L2 chargers, but don't degrade batteries like the fast Superchargers do. I wish there were more of the urban variety. And if dining at nearby restaurants, etc., I don't have to...

    Supercharger - Pasadena, CA - East Glenarm Street (LIVE 21 Oct 2021, 20 V3, 7 DCFC, 20 L2)

    Shouldn't the rendezvous be at a place in the vicinity of the new Superchargers -- as the Yard House was? On the other hand, there wouldn't be many good options near this location. Maybe everybody could mill around the 76 station mini-mart.

    Supercharger - Kettleman City, CA - Bernard Dr. (LIVE, 56 V3 stalls)

    The existing chargers are poorly located if you want to grab a bite at the nearby restaurants while charging -- that may be part of the motivation for the second location.

    Supercharger - Kettleman City, CA - Bernard Dr. (LIVE, 56 V3 stalls)

    My thoughts exactly. Either that, or use the Boring tunneler to make an underground passage to In N Out from the existing chargers.

    Slacker and Spotify Observations

    I find the change to default Slacker to be dangerous. You often have to really scan the screen to figure out if any of the suggestions are what you wanted to hear. Often, none are correct anyway. It seems to be misunderstanding the request more often than it used to. Certain songs it used to...

    I think that this is now for when you manually engage high beams, whereas before the high beams only dimmed if the system turned them on.
