    After latest software update, swiping up on small music window no longer shows "Favorites," etc.

    Found this out last night. If you just touch on the control, it pops up a larger window on the right side of the screen over the display of the overall route.

    Factory OEM SiriusXM nearly working in Tesla 2022 Model 3

    Tried it on the way home last night and it was broken right from the beginning. It had worked fine when I pulled into work. So I'm done testing it until a new version comes out.

    I did remove and re-add for both tests.

    Factory OEM SiriusXM nearly working in Tesla 2022 Model 3

    Tried it on the way home last night and it worked for about 15 minutes but then it slowly broke. When it switched to sequential it would go to the next channel and then the next jump would be to the next favorite. Eventually it went to all sequential. During this test I was switching a lot...

    Factory OEM SiriusXM nearly working in Tesla 2022 Model 3

    Don't know because I haven't tested it. I can on the way home tonight. Is this the one where when you push left/right it changes source, not station?

    Factory OEM SiriusXM nearly working in Tesla 2022 Model 3

    Just installed 2024.14.6 last night and can confirm that Sirius still works.

    When will trial start rolling out?

    Just updated from 2024.8.9 to 2024.14.6 last night. Had the car drive me to work this morning. Drive was ok. Problem was the nut behind the wheel, not the computer -- I really need to learn how to interact with it for changing lanes, etc.

    SiriusXM on Model Y

    Ebay. I'm sure I over paid, but I have one. I didn't want to wait forever or try the Tesla parts counter route which may or may not work. I also should have put new in quotes because it has a current subscription so I'm doubting the new part of it. I'm hoping that the current subscription...

    SiriusXM on Model Y

    Two weeks ago I installed a new 1622932-00-A on my 2021 MY LR. I've been holding off writing about it because I wanted to make sure it was working. Installed it per the directions and put the antenna on the "metal shelf" that @WhiteOnWhiteMY described in SiriusXM on Model Y. After connecting...

    GEICO needs to SPEAK with Tesla ?

    I believe this is typical for any third party extended warranty, which mechanical breakdown coverage is. They want to make sure they are not being scammed. The will probably just make sure that Tesla followed their procedures and didn't just start replacing parts to make the problem go away.

    handle

    My father in law uses it to get into the car from his walker and the transfer to a wheel chair so it requires upper body strength in that use. My mother uses it to steady herself and she swings her legs in and the pull her self forward once they are in. Hope that additional information helps.

    Sometimes playing currently song in the Apple Music in-app follows the screen, and sometimes it doesn't.

    I've noticed it doing this mainly on the first song after I get in the car. The work around I found is to make it play the previous song. This works most of the time. I find it weird that Apple Music can remember what it previously played, but not what is next up.

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    It's a bug because it is dangerous. The car is deciding on it's own to accelerate in a situation where I'm not expecting it. And I think the solution is simple. In my mind, the code for when the timer expires just blindly sends the command to enable AP. A simple check to see if TACC is...

    Cold Weather Charging

    Do it. It can lead to some interesting things. They might find out how cheap it is to charge. I use a TT-30 at my in-laws, and for all 6 times that we have been there, their electric bill has gone DOWN. My mother-in-law thinks it’s hysterical that I bring them electricity every trip.

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    I‘m assuming you are asking because you turned on the single click activation that bypasses TACC. That’s not what it’s for and the instructions for it tell you to turn that off. How this feature works is that it turns on autosteer some programmable number to seconds after the blinkers turn off...

    BP Pulse Orders $100 Million worth of Superchargers for US Network

    They're not allowed to subsidize ours. However, since it's basically the same as charging at home, I can't complain.

    BP Pulse Orders $100 Million worth of Superchargers for US Network

    Knowing my company, it can't be a lot. I just looked it up and we have 202 stations spread across 42 sites so maybe we get some type of break. The rate we get charged is the same as what I pay at home (0.13/kWh).

    BP Pulse Orders $100 Million worth of Superchargers for US Network

    The charging where I work is for employees only. In order to gain access to the chargers we have to have a ChargePoint account and then register it with the company who will tell ChargePoint that we are an allowed user. ChargePoint takes care of everything. Not that hard to manage.

    I continue to be amazed at the hatred for EVs

    At first I found this funny. Boat hate on a thread about EV hate. Then, the more I thought about it, I think this shows one of the reasons for EV hate. Our consistent need to tell others how to live and what they need or don't need.

    Iphone 15 Pro Max case that allows Tesla wireless charging?

    Can confirm these do work. I also do not have the overheating problem if I set the phone to only charge to 80%. Even while streaming which always cussed it on my iPhone 12 Pro Max (or whatever the name was for that model).

    how do i pick a charging station?

    If you go this route (V2 instead of V3 and no pun intended either), pay attention to what the nav tells you are the busy times because you may max out at half of the 150kW rate. I was burned by this a couple times when I first started traveling with my MY.

    Update on replacing OEM 12v lead-acid battery with lithium?

    Saw that on my Edge where the sync system would start rebooting, or in their terms "Performing system maintenance" more than normal. Because it was "more than normal" I didn't realize that's what it was doing. After I replaced the 12V, I thought it was the reason, but I still can't be sure.

    Static stoplight display

    I'm 6 6'1" and I have had that problem occasionally on different cars. I say occasionally because it depends on where the light is wrt to the stop line. In those instances where I have had this, I just don't pull all the way up to the stop line. It's not required that you pull all the way...

    non-beta FSD does not see yellow speed limit signs

    As Road Guy Rob says, read the white sign and then add “or you get a ticket”. Anything happens while not following the yellow signs and “that’s between you and your insurance company”.

    Lane Departure Warning Disabled

    Isn't there a stop sign or light at the end of the residential area where you can press the button and then shift into drive again? If not, since it's 3:30 am, can't you just declare one at the end for 2 seconds? Very few would be around to care.

    Autopilot randomly changes set speed on DC I66 Express Lanes
