    Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) won't be available on FSD v12?

    TACC is still available, it’s just that the options to invoke it when using FSD are limited. Turning off FSD brings you back to TACC - it would be very difficult for them to eliminate as its a feature that came with the car upon purchase and so many people use it. Then again it is a Tesla.

    Hi Shazadv - I was wondering if you still had the ccs adapter for sale and could swing the 250?

    How do you listen to music?

    Newb: Winter Cold Weather Charging?

    I live near Toronto and have similar conditions. You can not make that trip in one charge - even in the summer. Leave with close to 100% and precondition the car before departure (this heats the cabin and battery) while plugged in then drive.. Drive to a convienient supercharger with that as...

    250 - would be the top - I don’t think I would get much use from it. Also you did not answer my question - is it the 345 model?

    Austin or Freemont

    I would not be too influenced by the 250KW charging, I don’t SC charge often and don’t let the battery go much below 20% and have not seen charging above 170Kw. Get the car you want.

    Question by 'LikesToys' on marketplace listing 'Parts/accessories (Ont, Canada)'

    Hi - I live reasonably close to Whitby and am interested in the CCS Adapter. Is it the CCS 1 on the Tesla web site quoted for $345? I have a MY LR - if it works I would offer 200 cash or etransfer and pick up.

    Should cabin be hot when charging?

    I turn the hvac system off when the car is in the garage. If you like precondition the car for 10 min before departing.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    In order to advise you would have to define what type of battery you have LFP vs NCA - model and year. Then follow best practices for that specific battery chemistry

    Do I need an SSD or USB stick?

    Get something with a usb-c cable - rather than have it stick out and be hit with something in the glove compartment. If you use USB music you would be better off with an SSD as typically they have more space.

    Suggestions on protecting the USB stick?

    Why not use a USB cable, or better yet a USB SSD thats on a cable. I use that and it works great.

    What battery is in the Model Y LR RWD?

    The Mobile Connector is the best value and offers the most long term options. I have been using it for 5 months and it charges somewhere around 7.5Kw per hour. I didnt expect to need to use it in other conditions, but then repainted the garage floor and couldn’t park in it for 2 weeks. Mobile...

    Terrible service experience, why my 2023 Model S is a regrettable purchase

    Hopefully you opted out of their reconciliation process and can hire a lawyer. Lots of headaches but hang in till you get your money back - or what about those US lemon laws.

    Can I turn off TACC and just get speed controlled cruise (phantom braking issue again)

    Every time I go under a specific bridge on a sunny day, TACC slows down and gets totally confused by the shadow of the bridge above - this one bridge is at an angle to the road under it (the one I am on), and the road I am on is curved. TACC hits the breaks there every single time - I just turn...

    How do you listen to music?

    How's your experience with Tesla / Apple iMessage been?

    I turned on messaging in the Tesla and reluctantly allowed my contacts to be copied, then verbally asked Siri to composed a text message and stated the name of the person to send it to. I expected iMessage to send the message to an iCloud user - all very Apple Standard - I do this often while...

    I had a similar problem when I turned off a privacy setting in the car for sharing charging stats with Tesla. Make sure you share the data otherwise the App can’t see the charging stats.

    Front Camera - Dashcam Mode Blurred/Pixelated

    It turns out the problem I had was due to viewing the video file on a Mac. There is some type of compatibility issue and the image was pixelated in the preview app. works better in IOS or on a full video editing app.

    Auto Wipers

    I too give credit where credit is due however if a product is tested before release, any manufacturer knows if the problem has been fixed or not. There is no need to release something to the public and see what happens. Fix it, test and then know the outcome. Based on my experience with...

    Precondition battery for supercharging before leaving hotel

    How long did you precondition for and what was the temperature. I am not aware that Tesla provides advice, but the battery needs to be quite warm to supercharge at speed and I don’t think preconditioning does that. I would have thought 30 minutes would be the minimum but temperature is a big...

    Will these Teslas be replaced for free?

    I do think there is good reason to balance small problems with the risks of fixing them. If you can’t live with it, then by all means try to get it fixed, but sometime the outcome is worse than the original problem.

    Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) won't be available on FSD v12?

    When i purchased my MY LR 2 months ago it came with Traffic Aware Cruise Control & Lane Centering. As far as I can tell Lane Centering is no longer available - or is it just hidden somewhere? I really would like to turn that back on as I do not consider using FSD safe on my local roads (it...

    Hub Cap 19" recommendation

    I bought the Yeslak wheel covers for Model y Gemini wheels. The covers are almost impossible to take off as the clips are made of plastic that seem inflexible and won’t give enough to pull the covers off. After struggling with various techniques, I got some help but one of the clips at the...

    MY Uberturbine wheel cover (Yeslak) stuck on wheel, broke coming off

    I have the exact same experience with Yeslak - the tabs that hold the wheel cover are not properly designed IMHO as they don’t flex and so they make it almost impossible to pull the wheel cover off. Makes the chore of changing the seasonal tires almost impossible. I ended up getting help...

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    I read on this forum many times that cycling the battery to less than 20% does no harm to it, yet never have I seen any scientific evidence to support that. I then see graphs - but to date they they really don’t mention anything specifically about drawing down low. I do see graphs about...

    connecting the tesla app to the car - first time - issues

    Is it better for my car to spend more time at 50% or have shallower discharge cycles but spend more time at a higher state of charge.

    Is it better for my car to spend more time at 50% or have shallower discharge cycles but spend more time at a higher state of charge.

    The sweat spot for an NCA battery is 57%. If you are not using the car you should leave it close to that. If you plan a long trip and need the power charge it to your needs and drive off as soon as possible. Ideally you would not charge beyond 90% unless you require it. If possible don’t...

    Mobile charger issue?

    The maximum the mobile charger can input is about 7kW - you voltage seems a bit low, it should be closer to 240v or at least 220v. That however would not account for an unusually long charge as you are putting in 6kW. I would look at the stats app in the car or on your phone to see if there...

    Dashcam Image Motion Distorted - Tesla says normal - look normal to you?

    Yes, I think you’re right. I have 3 Macs and one of them is able to view this without a problem, but not the other two. Seems to be an incompatibility with the frame rate, Tesla uses 36 frames per second while 30 or 60 is common. Thanks for mentioning.

    Anyone with success getting Tesla to undo their unjust SC01 -> SC04 that happened after buying second-hand?

I am no lawyer but the service Tesla provides is between them and the purchaser not Tesla and a second purchaser unless the terms...

    Where and where not to apply wax

    I have been advised to tape off the black trim as it’s not very shiny and the wax will give it too much of a gloss.
