Agree with above. I'm doing Rearward Cross for the factory all season tires. For my winter set, they are directional and I have been doing just front-to-back rotation for those.

I would think the service centre's response of firmware bug is more credible than the MCU overheating theory. Most of those safety features are driven by the FSD computer behind the glovebox, and the MCU is simply a user interface to them. My wild guess is that Tesla has multiple wiring harness...

According to the data on TeslaFi, the flood gate has just been open on 14.6 update. My 2021 Model Y (Intel Atom) has just received this update notification 5 minutes ago.

When the tires are off the car, and I tap the tires, the differences are very obvious - the regular tires will have a drum-like sound that resonates for a while, but the acoustic tires will only give muted sound that stops immediately.

Also on this - I have had good experiences with the two service centres located within Vancouver. A few SAs would even go extra miles to engage personally in local owner groups online. (Once a SA even gave me his cell number for easy contact.)

Good to know that some Tesla-approved body shops will do it. I just checked the list of them on Tesla website, and in Vancouver area, two of them have "glass" in their business names. I guess these should be able to do the glass repairs.

Actually, if they are so close, there is a high chance the hood will touch the arm when the car is in motion. In my own experience, when the car is parked, I could slide a thick piece of paper freely between the hood and the wiper arm. However, my hood and the wiper arm still shows signs of...

Regardless of the insurance companies' intentions to push for their tracking apps, I don't think they will be competent to develop apps that will not introduce more threats to my phone beyond their intentions - your phones' battery life and security will be compromised. They will likely...

Then I'll go with a country that can truly respect people's freedom and privacy.

I don't think Toyota lives up to the hype. I rented a Toyota (for work), which was less than 6 months old. Interestingly, this Toyota had higher road noise than my Tesla. It also had buzzing headliner, minor rattles on highway, loud engine noise, and almost nonexistent acceleration.

If they tried to trick me into installing tracking apps, I would just tell them on the spot "no, thank you, I'll go with another insurance company".

I just saw this on the local news: Tesla is planning a huge delivery centre for Port Coquitlam. Here's what's happening . Tesla will build a delivery centre and service in Port Coquitlam. Looks pretty legit as the area mentioned in the news already has construction work started for 2 weeks. I...

Interesting. Annacis Island belongs to Delta.

To the folks observing this issue - do you all have non-USS cars, had the vision-based Park Assist available for a while and then unavailable now? I'm trying to find out if I should be concerned about existing USS being disabled in software.

I second this. Having rented two different models of Toyotas, I can say their lane keeping "feature" is a death trap. Every time there was an upcoming highway exit, the car would pull to the right towards the exit. It also got confused by the tire tracks on wet highway in a rain, thinking those...

USS probably will not influence this. Cars with USS also depend on cameras to do autopilot.

The real problem with Tesla's auto high beam is that it shouldn't be forced to stand by whenever the car is turned on. For every single car (other than Tesla) I've ever seen, there are two separate switches: Whether the user wants high beam or not (usually controlled by pushing forward the...

I guess you will have extended free trial if they don't get the subscription website ready in time.

Is it possible that someone dropped something, such as a water alarm, under the seat and now it is low on battery?

Before, Auto High Beam would make myself seen as a jerk on the road. After the improvement, I can happily say I'm no longer a jerk. But I'm now a moving light show!

Well, it looks like Bjorn Nyland did think it is a big deal:

Interestingly, the release notes in my Tesla app before the update only had Thai language. But after I updated to 2022.44.2, the release notes in car showed both Thai language and Camera-based Sentry, and Safety options did have the Camera-based detection option there. And afterwards, Tesla app...

The rollout of 2022.44 looks very aggressive compared to 2022.40 versions. This version basically popped up on teslafi for 3 days and then thousands of cars are getting it. The 2022.40 versions took many revisions and many weeks to roll out. The release notes for 2022.44 also look suspiciously...

It seems like 2022.40.4.2 introduces transfer call to vehicle, according to 2022.40.4.2 Official Tesla Release Notes - Software Updates .

That's not the most critical processor dealing with the camera feeds. The AMD CPU only handles the infotainment system. There is another computer processing those 9 cameras' videos continuously for self-driving, autopilot and safety features. That's the one to be hammered if cameras all...

You need more CPU power to handle the higher resolution camera videos. The existing hardware may not be able to cope with the 5 MP camera videos.

+1 for PMC. Last year I ordered online and they shipped mounted tires to my home. Everything worked smoothly. But I have to say, OP is super late to just start looking for winter tires. If you can find a reputable place that carries the winter tires you want, don't wait.

My wish list: give the holiday update surprise to Twitter users and leave us alone.

Don't we already have the fake fireplace app? :D

Recently I have seen navigation doing weird calculations a few times for different roads near me, treating perfectly fine roads as if they were closed. The navigation was very keen to route me away and around certain sections of roads that I knew were perfectly fine. Even when I was only one...

I guess the laws have to match the stupidity level of those who don't have common sense to prevent them from harming others. Unfortunately there are always small number of stupid actions that ruin majority people's life.

If someone went from V10 to the March 2022 V11, we could argue complainers were just doing their thing. However, from V10 to the Dec 2021 V11, it was completely a sh1t show and people had their rights to complain.

That's like telling the world the exact locations of their secrets.

I got 36.5 today as well. Unsure why it was not 36.6

Tax credit on EV sale/purchase is not the best way to manage it, IMO. If the government really wants help address the environment issue, give credits to people who operate EVs (for example, submit proof of EV operation at tax filing to get credits).

Having to go through the smoky days due to wild fires here every year, I never find it attractive to have a couple of logs burning with flames rising. Faking this scene on a screen just adds another level of annoyance. In fact, I never heard of anyone wanting to watch a "fireplace on a screen"...

I'm wondering if OP has successfully delayed the delivery. And if so, any regrets when the news came out that starting October there will be no ultrasonic sensors and temporary feature loss: Tesla Vision Update: Replacing Ultrasonic Sensors with Tesla Vision ?

In that situation, I would freak out if I were in a car with a driver on AP, no matter what underlying hardware was driving it.

For v11, as of the state on Christmas Eve when it was originally released, it made sense to hold off and stay with v10. However, with today's state, there is no point to still get yourself stuck with v10. V11 has already addressed the most complained inconveniences in the UI. And it is obvious...

In the past, if AP was activated then deactivated, the light went back to normal beam state. Now, after AP deactivation, the light stuck with high beam on. I have a vision only car so this change is not something associated with disabling radar.

Are you asking about Microsoft Windows or Tesla SW? 🤔

The lighting part of this SW version is very buggy. In addition to the high beam behaviour, I also frequently see the brake light visualization on the screen stops working. The car display would no longer show the brake light being illuminated while the real brake light is actually lit up...

I could not find any bag hook accessories on the market for MY 7 seater trunk. (And I found MY in general lacks trunk hook solutions.) So I went ahead and attempted a scrappy 3d printing solution. I'd share my model here for anyone who are interested to be a "beta tester" (who as a Tesla driver...

If you want the real deal, order Tesla part from a SC: DUAL MOTOR PERFORMANCE BADGE 1484849-00-B

I observed the same behaviour. My car is a vision-only car to begin with and this is the first time I have the high-beam forced on. It only starts with 2022.28. I believe it is a bug, because the high beam is not forced on if I turn it off by pushing the left stalk forward, and leave the car...

Deja vu! - from someone who ordered a Model Y before 05/2021 and had to click an Accept button for Tesla Vision in order to take a delivery.

For me, 2022.24.6 brings back the radio frequency display in the icon.

No problem for Model Y and puck on.

We usually lift one corner of the car for a wheel change, and only in rare cases the entire side gets lifted with 2 wheels in the air. In theory even a one-ton jack can do the job. That being said, many floor jack below 2 ton capacity looks like toys with very narrow bodies and small pads. I...

A popular floor jack is the Arcan 3 ton Hybrid. It's solid with metal wheels while not too heavy for a 3 ton floor jack. Unfortunately they can no longer be had at $150.
