    Did they stop putting matrix headlights in Model Ys in the US?

    I can't seem to delete this. I thought I had just gotten the latest update at 2024.14.9 but 2024.20 has the adaptive headlight update. If admin can delete the post, feel free to. Sorry for jumping the gun before thinking of that.

    AP/FSD related crashes

    Correct. My local observation is that if it is not a limited access highway, it is on city streets. It's probably one reason why country roads that have a speed limit of 55 mph per state law that don't have speed limit signs after you turn on to them sometimes report 25 or 35 mph

    Did they stop putting matrix headlights in Model Ys in the US?

    I saw several people in the Model Y facebook group state they got adaptive headlights in the recent update for the Spring update. Mine didn't have it and was built in Fremont in March 2024 (MYLR). It sounds like the feature went out to the US cars that had them. I thought the newer ones all had...

    AP/FSD related crashes

    I can confidently answer that. I live in the northern part of the state. These country roads are always on the city streets part of the software, so it was v12. The only time it goes to highway/v11 is if it is a limited access highway. Even on Rt 20 between Norwalk and Woodville, Ohio, it is v11...

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    This is about the four pin pigtail in the front for trailer brakes, but it is odd an electric car maker can't figure out how to supply an aux voltage to the 7 pin.

    I recommend having alignment checked on any new Model Y. Also - recommendations on front camber kit?

    I heard about some tire wear due to alignment on new Model Ys so had a trusted local garage that aligned my Model 3 after installing new adjustable coilovers check it. For the 3, I had to purchase adjustable front and rear camber arms from MPP. I was expecting there to be a little play on the...

    Agreed. Clear day in the middle of the day would be fine (except you don't want to go airborne from crossing a railroad track), but you have to worry about deer and farm equipment in addition to fog in the mornings and evenings around sunset. 60 would feel too fast for me.

    I'm not sure if I saw your video or not. Can you post a link here or message me with it? Thanks!

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    I see where you were misunderstanding now. That's referencing pin 4 of the 7 pin connector next to the tow hitch: My issue is with the 4 pin trailer brake controller harness next to the driver's footwell (at least in left-hand steering cars). As a side, they have instructions to access that...

    AP/FSD related crashes

    I find it so interesting how FSD behaves differently even in the same state. I drive between Norwalk and Tiffin and with Auto speed offset enabled, it drives between 53 and 55 then ramps up to 67 mph at times, which will definitely get you a speeding ticket from OSP. Regarding railroad tracks, I...

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    The frustrating thing is the nearest appointment is over 4 weeks out and it's a 1.25 hr drive for me to take it in. Mobile service was not an option (even when I requested the pigtail originally). I'm guessing then there is no easy fix to save this trip. I'll just keep using my accessory voltage...

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    I had looked in the manual prior and requested the 4 pin pigtail connector, which the service center supplied to me. 1. Where in the manual is it? It's not in the area pertaining to the attachment of the pigtail connector 2. I don't think stingy service centers are going to give away even a $2...

    2024 Model Y with Tow Hitch, Low voltage brake voltage not present.

    I checked the voltage with the wiring harness behind the driver side access panels and there is no voltage at the pins of the female receptacle. I had plugged in the harness pigtail and didn't get voltage. I also checked continuity of the red and black wires to the pins. Service mode showed no...

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    For what it's worth, if they had lowered the advertised range to 304 prior to purchase, would it have impacted your decision? For me the answer is no. The question is - is this actually for all Fremont and Austin cars or was there a batch of cars that had some defect resulting in a lower top...

    100% range on new Model Y LR with 3 miles on it calculates to 301 miles

    Not true with regards to displayed range. My 2018 Model 3 Performance still showed the rated range 8 months after purchase at 100%. More info from Tesla's website:
