The Performance was just announced a month ago and I don’t think people have even taken delivery of theirs yet? Give it a bit more time…

I have sentry on a cheap 2.5” SSD using a USB 3.0 to SATA cable through a USB 3.0 hub and it’s been working fine since new for about 2 years now. My music was on a sandisk usb 3.0 flash drive and it worked for over a year then started giving errors like couldn’t mount file system. The drive...

What probably happened was your car was eligible for 14.6 but the update was eventually pulled due to bugs so it disappeared from your car since you hadn’t installed it until a more stable version (14.8) was widely available.

Better to set low expectations and be pleasantly surprised than to give false hope and be unpleasantly surprised.

120V is not likely going to be sufficient to add any charge in the winter as most or all of the energy would be used to warm the battery. Especially if parked outside.

It’s the same technology Apple uses for precision finding with AirTags. Using UWB, the car will be able to detect that your phone key is approaching the car and you stopped moving 2 feet behind the trunk so you probably want the trunk to open. The regular BLE phone key does not have such...

I don’t like it. I liked how the old one acted as a separator between the upper “status bar” of sorts from the lower visualization part. Also the new turn signal indicator location makes them much harder to notice despite the arrows being larger.

It uses UWB which only the newer cars have.

Again, the most likely culprit is the Home Depot 14-50 outlet. Did you pull it out of the wall to check that yet? Second culprit would be a bad 14-50 adapter for the UMC.

I suspect it takes a lot more time (and therefore money) to get everything 99+% perfect instead of 90% perfect. The reality is most people don’t even notice or care about the small details like that. As long as it doesn’t hinder sales then Tesla doesn’t care to improve. And for a while they...

There is no need to specifically do that regularly unless you suspect the BMS is out of calibration. You’ll likely hit different charge levels just with regular usage and road trips etc. If you normally only use ~20% of the battery then consider setting a lower charge limit for daily use...

Can you not change only the “off peak end time” on the car charging screen in the app instead of changing the whole rate plan schedule? I don’t have a TOU rate plan so I just set the off peak end time to the same as departure time and don’t have any issues.

There is no universal rule. It’s up to each private property owner how to enforce their own parking. But if you’re not supporting their businesses then I wouldn’t hog a spot to charge your car. That is meant to be a perk for their customers. I would especially not park overnight at a shopping...

So Tesla is not a quality car then? I’m not talking about Chinese brand cars. There’s many non-Chinese branded cars made in China that are sold in the US and especially Europe. Seems a bit racist that you think nothing of quality can come from China.

The Leviton outlets from Home Depot are known to fail and melt even without frequent plugging and unplugging. Just unscrew it from the box and see if anything looks melted. That’s very easy first thing to check before wasting time chasing down other culprits. I haven’t had an issue with the...
