    Roof Rack - Is it Really a Risk?

    Y'all might find this thread helpful: Roof rack & 4x8 plywood sheets I got some 3rd party racks, from Tesbros if I recall correctly, as they were less expensive. Installed them myself, careful not to over-torque, and then carved two 5" wide boards, and cushioned them with a yoga mat, to...

    Roof rack & 4x8 plywood sheets

    Which incredibly stupid idea are you referring to?

    Self Driving Observation

    Interesting, so one can subscribe one month and unsubscribe the next? That would certainly be an incentive for me to try it out. I was on a major interstate right at the speed limit when the slowdowns occurred. I guess I can live with it as it wasn't very severe. Thanks for the info!

    Self Driving Observation

    I'm not going to try the FSD trial just offered for various reasons. I recently fully tested the non-full Self Driving feature included in my plan on a 5 hour trip (down & back) to visit a friend. Some observations: It's a better driver than I am when it comes to staying smoothly centered in...

    Spontaneously cracked windshield

    I just drove my 2023 MYLR about 500 miles to visit a friend in downstate New York. Temp in high 70's and mild overnight. I parked upon arrival with no issues. The next morning when I went out, there was an approx. 12 inch crack in the upper left side of the windshield. No impact marks, it just...

    I paid for Enhanced Autopilot but it won't turn on

    I've looked through ALL my correspondence with them and on the app and not found anything to that effect. I guess I just have to wait. :mad:

    I paid for Enhanced Autopilot but it won't turn on

    Bummer. I was really looking forward to that. How disappointing. What's particularly annoying is I saw no mention that the car I got didn't have it when buying it in November.(or I missed that which is entirely possible.).

    Autopark?

    Great summary, thanks! You must know where one gets auto-park too. Can I ask you what package that comes with? TIA - Richard

    Rant away, I agree. I’d expected better. Still LOVE my Tesla though.

    Front signal assembly which includes a light illuminating the direction one is turning?

    Worth it to ME. I like to see more of what’s around me. Still getting familiar with them but like ‘em.

    I paid for Enhanced Autopilot but it won't turn on

    Called Tesla, 1st line tech support couldn't figure it out and had me start a service request in the app. Then it occurred to me that as with lots of agreements online, you have to scroll all the way down to pretend you've read it before you can press the "accept" button or whatever. SO, I...

    Front signal assembly which includes a light illuminating the direction one is turning?

    I like these things. The light illuminates from near 90 degrees to 45 degrees forward, extending the illumination from the headlights. And they stay on for several seconds after straightening out the car. It's nice. Some photos, no brights:

    Yes, and I did it again, twice. But when I try to enable "Navigate on Autopilot (Beta)" the "Yes button is not clickable:

    I'll double check, its been a busy day. Thanks!

    I paid for Enhanced Autopilot but it won't turn on

    And when I go to Autopilot & try to turn on Navigate on Autopilot (Beta), the info screen comes up but the "yes" button is greyed out, so I can't turn it on. Tesla service is closed today, their website "Ask a Question" form never comes up (damn annoying) showing only links which are useless...

    Wish I could… Or, it could be my eyes. At any rate, I need the assist and hope this does the trick. I’ll post back to let y’all know.

    Winter Charging in Rochester, NY ?

    Hey, thanks very much everybody and Howdy neighbor (KG2V)! As a retiree, my schedule is all over the place, so setting up a Scheduled Departure wouldn't work as it uses the same time each day or weekends (pls let me know if I'm wrong). The idea of keeping it at 50% to help reduce...

    Winter Charging in Rochester, NY ?

    So, I get this email from Tesbros about how to care for Teslas in the winter. One of their "tips" is to keep it constantly plugged in so the battery stays warm and some of the tips refer to cars which are parked outdoors. So I'm thinkin that's really their target audience with this email. I'm...

    You mean there's no alternator? :oops: Hoo boy! 😁

    I believe in Lights, I'd just set it to ON.

    I left my lights in overnight

    Headlights/running lights. I'd stupidly turned them "ON" last night when fiddling with the setting to get my brights working on auto.

    I left my lights in overnight

    Cool move, not too proud of it. Do the lights draw power from the 12v battery or the main battery? As a precaution & assuming that if it was the 12v battery (and harkening back to the olden days of alternators charging batteries), I did some highway driving with no heat etc. for about 30 min...

    Front signal assembly which includes a light illuminating the direction one is turning?

    I seriously view it as a safety issue. When turning onto dark streets at night I can't see squat. I think my last car had a wider set of beams, I don't recall it being such a problem. Also, I apparently have matrix headlights. Can anything be done with those that you know of?

    Evidently I have them, what's the advantage, if any? TIA - Richard

    Front signal assembly which includes a light illuminating the direction one is turning?

    What I saw were cornering lights. Are the matrix lights special order or available depending on the year & model? Thanks

    Front signal assembly which includes a light illuminating the direction one is turning?

    I know I saw this someplace but can't find it now. Basically, when you turn on your signal, it illuminates the direction in which you are turning so you can clearly see what is ahead in that direction. The videos were impressive and the safety aspect of this greatly appeals to me. Does anyone...

    Roof Rack Install Question

    I just put a TesMag roof rack on my new MYLR. It was a bit of a struggle getting those clamps in, even when seeing the arrows. In one thread I saw mention of the potential to crack the glass if the "hooks" didn't anchor in metal slots beneath. So, my dumb question is: How can I verify if I...
