    FSD 12.4, Vision Attention Monitoring, and IR LEDs

    I guess you didn't look at the attachment before putting all that effort into your post. I brought up the Cabin Camera preview in the car and tested it with regular garage lights on, with the garage lights off (and thus nothing is visible), and then plugged in my separate camera with activated...

    FSD 12.4, Vision Attention Monitoring, and IR LEDs

    NotATeslaApp says that 12.4 will rely on the cabin camera for attention monitoring instead of the steering wheel IF several conditions are met: the camera is not occluded there is sufficient lighting the driver is looking forward the driver is not wearing sunglasses the...

    Can someone explain software

    Maybe you should go work for Tesla so you can fix it.

    Wheel and Tire package questions

    Obviously, but this is a discussion forum, so there's potentially information to be gained from others' experiences here rather than just asking Tesla. For example, someone who bought the All Season tire package in the past might say when they bought it and what their experience was with having...

    Wheel and Tire package questions

    I put winter tires on the wheels that came with my car, so now I want to buy a wheel and tire package for All Seasons to be able to swap on my own as needed, but it looks like the Tesla Shop still only has the Winter tire package available. Two questions: Does anyone know when the All Season...

    Thoughts on the Supercharger team reduction from a contractor (link)

    I think it's funny that this guy keeps referring to Tesla handing off to the "private sector" like Tesla isn't private sector itself. But I think he has a point there about Tesla no longer needing to be the be-all, end-all for DCFC. I don't think he mentions it but if you look to Norway for...

    I got a very unfair third strike that I do not understand. Please help.

    FYI, forum etiquette is to make 1 post at a time per thread, or edit your post if you need to add something to it. Multiple short posts just stacks the thread and makes it hard to page through. Also, you should probably make a separate thread to discuss the brake stuff, that all seems unrelated...

    Matrix Headlights Capabilities Enablement Timeline

    From 2024-03-08: Per: https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1939/tesla-says-adaptive-headlight-support-is-coming-to-the-u-s However, NotATeslaApp may be jumping to conclusions there, I think we've only seen statements that: 1) Tesla is working on FMVSS 108 compliance (unspecified models) 2)...

    TYPE 2 CHARGER SPEEDS

    OP may already know this, but to spell it out for others who may come across it: kW = rate kWh = capacity kWh is literally the rate * amount of time. If you charge at a 7kW rate for 1 hour, that’s 7kWh. If you charge for 2 hours, that’s 14kWh. If you charge for only 0.5 hours, that’s 3.5kWh...

    Charge Port - Auto open/release cable after charge complete, and key holder phone is in the vicinity.

    That’s usually how it works for me. Are you closing the app or not allowing it to run in the background? Sometimes I have it refuse to unlock until I take my phone out and manually re-open the app (it should always be running in the background, but maybe sometimes it gets deprioritized for...

    Zoom - only available with Premium Connectivity?

    Yep, it requires it. It’s lame. Even if you’re on WiFi (at home or using a cellular modem / tethering), you can’t use it unless you have Premium Connectivity.

    Car Key Evolution-what's next ?

    I think ideally they'll combine multiple factors, or at least have the option to, so: - Something you have: a phone doing public key cryptography over BLE or equivalent, or your RFID/NFC keycard as a backup (same as today) - Something you are: your face, gait, or things like heart rate profile...

    how safe do you feel with basic autopilot?

    I've been using AP a lot more lately, and over the weekend updated to 2023.44.30.5.1 and I have to say - the phantom braking seems MUCH better. I drove about 400 miles after updating it, mostly divided freeway with some undivided highways and I have had 0 phantom braking events, even though...

    Model 3 Shaking/Vibration

    This was exactly my issue, thanks for posting this! I had my wheels rebalanced 3 times by 2 different shops, and the issue was still there.

    Phone/user interface issues

    I replied to your other thread but I'll reply here as well for visibility - your phone is likely compromised and redirected you to an illegitimate site when you tried to scan the QR code, and that's how your CCs got stolen. As someone with cybersecurity experience who deals with compromised...

    TuneIn hacked my credit card

    QR codes use a standard encoding, you can take a photo/screenshot of the QR code and upload it to any number of sites found by Googling "QR decoder". I took the one from Ronald Lyster's post and rotated it in a photo editor then uploaded it to QR Code Raptor and it decoded it to...

    how safe do you feel with basic autopilot?

    Unfortunately, not safe enough to use it the majority of the time anymore. My main issues are: Phantom braking, which happens mostly when approaching the crest of a hill, but has happened at random times as well (those that come to mind: a vehicle merging from 2 lanes over, while coming up on a...

    Wipers speed control idea with double tapping

    You can also assign changing the wiper speed to the left scroll wheel "hold" function.

    Hallelujah (wiper controls)

    Oh man, I was REALLY hoping for wiper speed control with the customizable scroll wheel update and was disappointed to not see it there. I’ll be stoked if this works and they add it in officially. Then they’d just need to add manual headlight control, which would be super appreciated as well.

    Anyone else suddenly lose 15+ miles of range?

    The app causes the car to wake up if it’s asleep, though that alone, probably, shouldn’t draw from the high voltage battery, but more likely the 12V. However, it’s my understanding that when the 12V charge gets low enough, the high voltage battery will top it up. You could add in situations...

    When traveling, do you bother with trying to find hotels with EV charging? Can you depend on them?

    I wouldn't depend on it, but if a hotel offers it, I'm likely to take advantage of it. The way I see it, even if it's more expensive than going to a DCFC [1], it's rewarding them for supporting the infrastructure, or if they offer it for free, at least demonstrates to them that it'll get used...

    Model 3 - One Year Later

    Interesting, I'm approaching 1 year with fewer miles (10,636) and my 100% range is ~335miles (based on projected range of 265 at 79%). I always charge to 80%, though, and have done near-100% charges a handful of times during road trips. But my discharge is very rarely shallow, like probably <3...

    Will Tesla be adding youtube music anytime soon?

    Would be great if they did, I ended up on YT Music after Pandora funkery with my account and while the value of no-ads in YouTube Premium and a streaming service is hard to beat.

    2022.44.25

    Very happy with 2022.45.25 so far. In particular: - Both of us really appreciate the larger turn-by-turn text size. - I like the new placement of the audio controls, it’s just a better use of space. - The smart blinker auto-cancel is a nice quality of life improvement and works well from what...

    These emergency escape hammers fit perfectly in the rear cupholder

    Fair enough, though at least the bracket these ones ship with isn’t going to be any more secure than it being wedged in the cup holders. So I guess we should just sit there and die? I looked over the AAA full report and it unfortunately doesn’t make any recommendation if you have laminated...

    These emergency escape hammers fit perfectly in the rear cupholder

    Since the rear doors don’t have manual releases, I wanted to get one of those emergency escape hammers for the rear passengers in case the front doors become wedged. Picked these up for $6 from Home Depot, but the question was - where to mount it? It comes with screws but there was no way I was...

    Apple abandons self driving car/says it’s not technologically feasible to achieve L5

    I would bet it’s more that it’s not financially feasible than not technologically feasible. (Which is not to say that I think L5 is coming from anyone, anytime soon) Edit: I was also completely baffled by Apple getting into this space at all. Like, yah, you’ve got neat AR and ML tech, but...

    Tesla model 3 rear vs front doors

    I had a similar issue, though it was one of my rear doors required I hold the button down while pushing, while all the rest I could press-and-release then open it. I took it to the SC and they adjusted the latch positioning and that seemed to fix it.

    what phone VPN works with Tesla app?

    One caveat here: VPNs aren’t necessarily more safe than a public WiFi network, it comes down to the details of how the VPN service is ran and who runs it. There are VPN providers who are as unscrupulous (or more) than the operators of public WiFi networks, and they can eavesdrop or MITM your...

    Accidental frunk openings with iPhone iOS16 widget

    Unfortunately, doesn’t look like you can change the buttons but you can use a smaller widget that has no buttons (just charge, lock status, last seen/update time). Yah, I definitely appreciate that when I’m intentionally trying to open it. I think for now I’ll probably just use the Lock...

    Just Drove My Model Y in Light Rain at Night for 1st Time with "Tesla Vision" (2022.36.6): Autopilot was **Unusable**

    Thank you for pointing this out, I had recalled reading this somewhere but couldn't remember where. Turns out, it was from my Oregon driver's license test 20 years ago (I'm sure others, do too): Oregon Driver Manual - Section 7: Safe and Responsible Driving, subsection Hazardous Conditions...

    OEM CCS adapter now available to order in North America, Retrofit for older cars coming in 2023

    Oh, I just realized you might mean cost by “charge rate”. If that’s the case, I’ve been seeing $0.43/kWh from Electrify America as the nominal rate (about $21 for the above example) but they have been giving complimentary sessions for the last two months at my local one, so it’s been free.

    OEM CCS adapter now available to order in North America, Retrofit for older cars coming in 2023

    It depends on a few things: The speed of the charger, which can be 50kW, 75kW, 150kW, etc. Whether the specific charger you're at shares load with other vehicles, i.e. if you're at a 150kW charger and it's splitting load between you and the next person over, you may each be getting 75kW (or...

    Accidental frunk openings with iPhone iOS16 widget

    I'm curious if others are running into this - I updated to iOS16 about a week ago and added the Tesla widget to my homescreen (the one attached). Since then, I've had 3 occurrences of the frunk opening accidentally, presumably from me hitting the frunk button somehow. One time, I was using the...

    A simple fix for the User Interface

    Ditto, I use nav on pretty much every drive. What I don’t use is the unnecessary vision animations, those should only really come on when AP is engaged. Plus there’s a ton of white space with it.

    Easy way to measure Nema 5-20 120v energy consumption?

    Out of curiosity, why don’t you just go off the charge stats in the Tesla app? I assume the values are after-transmission-losses but I assume you could just apply a multiplier like 10% to that and be “close enough”, and the difference would be under the cost of more sophisticated measurement tools.

    Hello neighbor! That’s weird, though, I was at #3 yesterday, getting 77kW. The one that had one cable with a broken cover, yah? I didn’t actually look at #1, I just asked the Rivian owner if it was free since he was trying to get it to work (and eventually couldn’t).

    Confused about charging my model 3 on a road trip when no Superchargers are on the way

    With a 14-50 plug on the mobile charger (or a 14-50 + TT-30 adapter), you can also charge at Level 2 speeds at many RV camp sites. It’s not super applicable for folks trying to get somewhere as fast as possible, but it opens up a whole world of charging opportunities in more remote places that...
