Question on FSD free trial: so you get the 30-day email/message AFTER you download/install the new firmware right? I will be out of town for a while and I will delay downloading the 14.x firmware until I get back - hopefully delay the start of the FSD free trial.

Let's hope for the best this time.

we will likely merge onto the next big update, 2024.14.x, w/ FSD 12.4.x., whenever that is.

2024.3.20 is coming out now, with FSD 12.3.5. Still no relief for us stuck on 2024.8.x... :(

You don't even need high intelligence to be able make these types of time/movement predictions and then fire off neurons to corresponding muscles. Pretty much all animals do that instinctively and they do it far better than us in most cases. Ever seen a leopard jumping 10 feet in the air to...

Hopefully next week.

Unfortunately my 22 LR S just got 2024.8.9 pushed to it last night. Anyone w/ 22 or later S (refreshed) got FSD 12?

Well at least you are honest. As someone who's been in the technology industry for decades and have been trading actively in the past 20 years, the type of questions you are asking and the data analysis you are doing showed that you are clueless about technology and trading. Good luck with...

Thought u gonna say turn off cameras. ;)

Other FSD modes to consider: -Stalking mode - pick the car from touch screen to follow behind -Hypermiler mode - easy on the acceleration and only regen brake if possible, keep under 60mph at all times for max wh/mi (especially useful on low battery) -Race mode - pick the car to race against...

I am on 2024.8.7 and no FSD as well. According to my stats app, the highest Firmware version w/ FSD beta is 2024.3.6. Nothing above that has FSD, so far.

yes. typo on the units. you know what I mean.

Yeah I know what you mean, I do it in my head all the time anyway. 333 kwh/mi = 3 mi/kwh, 250 kwh/mi = 4 mi/kwh, and anything below 200 kwh/mi is basically 5+ mi/kwh.

Came back from road trip, restarted my mac, and Valet app is no longer working. Can't even find it under app store any more "not available for my region" - did it just shut down for good?

The efficiency has been mostly the same through out the revisions for me, as I watch the number religiously. My 22 S has overall efficiency of 230wh/mi for 28k miles - but the last 18k miles averaged 214 wh/mi. I've been slowwwwly bringing that number down, 1 wh/mi at a time. My last # change...

I think the more elegant solution is just to have the side mirror showing a yellow warning icon anytime something is in its blind spot, afterall, that's pretty much what all other cars seem to do these days and it works well. I am pessimistic about Tesla doing this - Elon is great in terms of...

From Tesla Tech: "Diagnosed and Performed Post-Repair Validation Test Drive. Technician was able to retighten and torque the sub frame bolts and eliminate the squeaking from the sub frame and suspension. Also, the bash bar was lubricated again." In retrospect, mine was definitely a bit more...

Not sure. The service ticket is unspecific as you can see below. I have asked them via text and will post here what they say regarding the fix.

My creaking noise has been getting worse and worse. I tried some of the fixes myself but didn't make any noticeable difference. Decided to take it to Tesla (again), even though previous experiences were mixed. I have to say I am positively surprised by the quick results: I got the car back...

Where do you live? Temperature does make a difference and the efficiency is lower during winter generally speaking, if all other factors such as driving habits and places you drive to remain the same. I am willing to bet that’s the issue, as the difference is not all that significant (~5%).

The noise is getting unbearable... I am going to do something about the bash/skid plates next week. But instead of applying thread locker, using felt tape, and/or over torquing the bolts, I am going to try something different: I am thinking about using some type of sealant around the bash plate...

Well someone in my family clipped the charger cable while it was plugged in. It ripped the charger right out of the car while in locked position. I am still assessing damage, and so far I found one of the plastic pins on the Tesla charger got ripped out (see picture below). I tested it and...

Well, technically the statement is not incorrect.... :)

To help me figuring out which way is straight. J/K. It's a 100% useless feature, but adds a racing "feel" to the car. My car is white w/ red Tesla logo, red hub cap emblems, etc. - so this adds a little bit red accent to the interior as well. I got this tip from BWM forums - apparently 1/2...

6 month update: Turning with the round wheel is so natural that I barely ever think about round vs. yoke any more - and that's a good thing. Besides, can anyone to pull off this center stripe mod with the yoke? :)

One thing to keep in mind is that the S is extremely heavy, and its brakes are severely undersized. This is ESPECIALLY true for the Plaid. Of all the times I accelerated spiritedly in my LR, I remember vividly one time when I punched it all the way on a clear highway ramp - only, to my horror...

270k and counting. I played this a lot, mostly on my phone though. There are definitely skills one can acquire, and with skills one can get to 2048 consistently. Anything beyond that will require some luck.

Nothing, a230 is raising suspension. All sensors/cameras seem to be fine, btw. Bulls eye! Yeah I did something similar - on the bottom where the bashplate and front fender connects, I somehow sheered off the center bolt completely. Had to get a mechanics friend of mine to drill out the...

My LR was working fine until today; all of the sudden I am getting "Vehicles Hold Features unavailable" and "Cruise Control disabled" errors. The fact that 1) this came out of the blue (I didn't mess with any settings), 2) side and back cameras seems to be working when viewing through the...

From EVoffer, where I got the powerfrunk: https://evoffer.com/blog/2023/09/08/2023-09-changes-to-electric-frunk-closing-feature-with-tesla-app-version-4-24-5/ basically the Tesla app button will cease to close the frunk. However, so far third party apps still works, like Stats, or Valet app...

No. two separate issues. the yolk buzz issue has been long fixed (via software). The fan buzz comes from the passenger side of the wireless charger.

22 MSLR, Gen 3 WC, same problem. I had the charger replaced by Tesla but even before that I had this problem from time to time. Last 2 nights it didn't reset after charging, since I changed it to scheduled charging at 4am. My theory is perhaps when Tesla is in a deep state of sleep when...

so it's basically 50 F above your basement's ambient temperature of 60. given the ambient temperature in Texas is now 100+, 156F might not be too bad after all. I am curious to see other ppl's data pts, especially in hotter climates...

Not sure what happened to my other post morning, but here's an update: So this morning after opening up the breaker box, I found part of the insulation strip behind the Tesla charger breaker melted. I called a couple of electricians, asking for a quote, they all tell me that the insulation is...

It is very hot in Texas this summer, 40+ days 100+ degrees. But still, I don't think it's supposed to be this hot. I'll get it check out again.

What's the operating temperature for the 60amp breaker for the wall connector? I had an old wall connector that was fried so I am very cautious about overheating. Tesla just sent me a new one, everything works well so far - and the handle/MCU all seemed cooler - except the breaker switch (at...

Informative, and frankly, not surprised. What did I say about "within SPEC"? 🙃

Thanks for the factory reset method. It worked. Update: since this summer my charger has been acting weird; I was away on vacation and I had it plugged in in my garage. I would get daily alerts that charging has stopped. My guess is due to overheating, as later my wall monitor app would show...

We are iPhones family. My wife always complained about the (lack of) charge on the front charger. Like I said, I've seen inconsistent performances so I've conducted a few tests a while back - at one pt my hypothesis was turning the radio up affects charging. But the results were inconclusive...

My experience w/ Tesla wireless charging is that it's weak overall and unpredictable. Sometimes it would charge normally, sometimes after 2 hrs of driving it's barely up 1%. Believe me I tried to test the performance w/ all types of variables such as current charge level, radio on/off, phone...

Nah. the key factor is to keep it below 65. At <45mph, it's almost indistinguishable what type of efficiency I get, provided that I use regen brake mostly and I don't punch it all the way all the time. Grandma slow doesn't give you anything extra efficiency wise. I do mostly city driving -...

Insane driving mode. Overall efficiency at 237 wh/mi. w/ the last 13k miles at 219 wh/mi. And I punch the accelerator from time to time. It seems they slightly improved the efficiency this year?!? I've gotten as low as 183 wh/mi on 20+ miles round trips before. I do think sub 200 wh/mi life...

Same. It's usually a two-day service for anything. Plus I am scared of them breaking something else completely unrelated (yes it happened multiple times). You just need to remove the aero-shield to get to the bash plate. It's being held up by plastic pins and a few bolts. I am attaching the...

My money is on torque settings. The aero-shield practically seals the bash plate in. I mean it's not air-tight or anything but it's hard enough for debris/dirt to get in, it's even harder for debris to somehow get in under the already tighten bolts. And in my case at least, I live in Texas...

Mine had that exact same problem last year, had SC retorque the front bash plates, and then it went away. But then, a few month ago, that same issue returned. I took it to the SC and ask them to do the same again - they said they did (though I am not 100% sure) - but the issue remains. I then...

Yes I have the refreshed MS (built Jan 2022). I researched SMT connection options and ultimately decided on the S3XY buttons not just for the buttons, but more so for the cable/commander that it came with for connecting to SMT. Killing two birds with one stone, if you will. As for where to...

Update: received the following message from Tesla this morning. Checked the screen: still yoke. But after reboot it's now showing round wheel. It never quite make sense that this couldn't be done over the air - my faith in Tesla has been restored.

At least 2 places I can think of (others feel free to add): 1) auto pilot icon on the dash board screen, 2) steering icon on the main screen for adjusting steering wheel position. I hear you, if it wasn't for others here, I would've never noticed. However, once I know, I can't un-notice them...

The tech did hook up TB3 for sure, I know b/c I have S3XY button commander installed and tucked everything deep - he had to dug the interface out under the console. The physical exchange of the wheel only took 5-10 mins, and then the tech was out there w/ the laptop hooked to my car for another...

Yes. many times.
