We’ve been using Smart Summon to shoehorn our 2020 MY into our garage every day for the past 3 1/2 years, and we’ve gotten used to it’s glitchy behavior. It has generally worked pretty well for us most of the time. It seems that since December 2023, it has gotten noticeably worse, almost...

Thanks Akikiki! I did not know that the fobs did firmware updates. It’s really a minor gripe, but I can imagine this infuriating ordinary users.

It’s interesting that so many of us have this same issue, and there seem to be several solutions. Our 2020 MY has only one fob, and it’s been 3 years, 3 months since new. We only used the fob once, when new to confirm that it works. We only use our phones as keys. Today, we got the “Key Fob...

Our 2020 MY is sitting dead in our driveway. I was able to open it and sit in the driver's seat, but the car was dark and did not respond to any input. I could hear a faint "clunk, clunk, clunk" sound from the frunk area. After losing the door, it locked itself, but the driver's door window is...

We put our car to sleep for about an hour, then plugged it in to charge to 80%, then it went back to sleep for the rest of the night. The next morning, and for the rest of the day, the Autopilot has functioned nominally. Thank you, one and all!

Same problem. 2020 MY FSD beta 2022.36.20. Already cleaned the glass on all cameras. We will try the recommended fixes — one variable at a time — later today.

We've been FSD beta testers for a long time, and seldom, if ever, has our car made a true full stop at a stop sign. I'm very anal about making full stops at stop signs, and this is frustrating, as well as unlawful. Very few drivers actually stop at stop signs, right? I've sent emails to the...

Thank you for your awesome work!

Like most accidents, the initial reports are probably wrong. Hopefully, this accident will be thoroughly, and fairly investigated. If Tesla was a smart company, it would have an investigator on the scene as soon as possible, to fully participate in the investigation, especially in the case of...

I was wondering the same thing.

Damn, that is frustrating! I'm very thankful to all of the good folks on this forum, and the other automotive forums (GM-Volt, and Prius) that I've been a member of. We support each other in ways that were impossible 15 years ago. This multiple failure mode probably should be reported to NHTSA...

This following distance issue has seriously bothered me as well. The best guidance that I have found is: a minimum of 2 second following distance for daytime, dry roads, good visibility. If it's wet, use 3 seconds. If it's wet and night time, use 4 seconds, etc. Of course, if you're driving in...

When the compressor is first plugged in and turned on, it delivers good airflow -- filling the tire normally -- until it gets, as I recall, above about 36 PSI, and you can hear it gradually working harder to deliver higher pressure air, then the power cuts off completely. The virtual breaker...

I tried using both ports, and they both behaved the same way. I even experimented with the GM air compressor from our Volt, and it behaved the same way.

Having put many miles on FSD Beta over the past few months, I just can not imagine L4/5 autonomy at year’s end. It IS currently amazing, but needs some sort of camera upgrade plus processor/software revolution. My wife has given up on it, because it keeps doing stupid things to her. I kind of...

We live in Merritt Island,FL, and have gotten the same messages, usually for only a minute or two, a couple of times a month. Sometimes it’s in heavy rain, or high humidity, but sometimes dry conditions—day or night. I’ve used RainX on all of our cameras every now and then, and I do believe that...

We had our white 2020 MYLR wrapped immediately after delivery — a year and a half (25,000 miles) ago, and we are so happy that we did! We wanted high conspiquity for safety, so we went with bright yellow upper with bright red, retro reflective red lower band, that grabs attention day and night...

Our 2020 MYLR frunk was misaligned from delivery day. The SC tweaked it post delivery, and it looked good for a short while, then “warped back” to misalignment. It looks goofy, but we just aren’t bothered that much…

We’ve had the same experience as the O.P., with no resolution for several weeks. 2020 MY LR, FSD 10.5. We really enjoyed daily Beta testing FSD (thousands of miles) for about a month and a half. We made many, many bug reports, with the same type of reports that are found here. We even have the...

Our glass has looked great from Day One. We've got over 20,000 miles, and have some road scum build up, but nothing like you are showing. That needs attention from the SC. It may have been sand blasted on the train ride/truck ride from Fremont? Bummer! ?

Like most other folks here, I'm really super-vigilant while test driving this FSD Beta. If you're like me, you've grown more confident with this system as you've gotten more experience with its strengths and weaknesses. We're all learning. Of course it has problems, and that's why we're testing...

On my series of test drives early this morning, I started with FCW and AEB left in the toggled off position. I’m assuming that they were intentionally toggled of by the secondary software push yesterday. Then I toggled them back on with no adverse effect. We’re all test pilots (with no...

I had good luck early this morning by giving our 2020 MY half an hour of “deep sleep” as recommended here: Fix for Broken FSD Beta 10.3, with thanks to leepoffaith! I did a thorough test drive afterward, and AP, as well as FSD Beta 10.3 seemed to be fully functional. After several hours of...

2020 MY. My wife has been driving on AP this morning with only one anomaly. She got: “Lane Departure Avoidance System Unavailable”, even though AP was on and keeping her in the lane nicely. I Googled it and found a suggestion that this message may be triggered by letting your car face into...

After performing leepoffaith’s excellent deep sleep therapy for 35 minutes, our 2020 MY awoke refreshed and ready to show me what FSD beta 10.3 is all about. It worked! We’re showing “FSD Beta 10.3 (2021.36.5.2 ac349fb9aa19)” BTW. I drove first manually, then stepped up incrementally through...

The original 10.3 download took place while my wife was out of town with our 2020 MY. She did not activate FSD, but got all of the failures that are being described, both on local and Interstate driving. I had warned her about the early reports of bad bugs, but this was a real “Test Pilot” kind...

Thank you jf64k! It was your tip that allowed us to hack the SS system. We are so excited to now have 10.3! For now. If we wind up against a telephone pole, we will not blame you one bit. Judging from early reports, we may be getting another update very soon…

We’re a 2020 MY.

That’s an outstanding idea. Bigger or faster aircraft use tech called: TCAS (Terrain/Collision Avoidance System) that very effective helps pilots maintain safe clearance from the ground, obstacles, and other aircraft. A small, inexpensive avalanche transceiver that warns the blind pedestrian as...

My thanks to Joenathan and Bitjam for the tips! Your help is very much appreciated! Tesla should provide an official training class for its beta testers. I know that they have a short Autopilot video on the website, but FSD is seriously complicated. Watching You Tube videos over the past few...

Here on Florida’s Space Coast, we got the notification at 2:50 am Eastern. Loaded at about 4:30 am. We originally “pushed the button” on the first hour that it became available, almost a month ago, I think. Last Wednesday, we gave up, and reset using the hacks. We’ve been driving the heck out of...

I would like to get a lot smarter about the details that many of you know about NN, Stacks, and the background of how FSD, NoA, and AP work. Where can I go to learn more about those things? I’m not a programer, but a retired pilot, and am fascinated with the details of how this stuff works. In...

We really are in The Twilight Zone with all of this, don’t you think? We EV geeks are quite the bunch. Can you imagine ICE drivers doing this? I really believe that this could be used in some sociology class. Perhaps one day, psychology students will be studying the actions of this group of...

I don’t know the answers to tpoz’s questions, but our MY was hopelessly stuck at 94, so I re-set yesterday afternoon. We waited hours and the SS did not go away, even with multiple power-downs, and log out/ins. Then something interesting happened. We got a notification that a Tesla app update...

A couple of weeks ago, I went to our local Merritt Island, FL Service Center to help a friend take delivery of her new MY. I was following my delivery checklist by opening the trunk to check the fluids -- and WOW! -- there was the big HEPA filter! It blocked easy access to the fluid reservoirs...

This really is an interesting sociology experiment. We are all "early adopters", who are attracted to EVs, and specifically Teslas for a variety of reasons. One thing that unites (almost) all of us is that we want to see this FSD system work well, and we are proud and excited to be at the...

I bought a replacement cord/J1772 plug from Clipper Creek, and installed it painlessly. So far, we have had no issues, and the plug has been as cool as a cucumber during all charging. For seven years, we've plugged/unplugged our Volt almost every day. That's about 2500 cycles. Our Tesla...

Yes, our Summon is also temperamental. When it feels like working (maybe 75% of the time) it's awesome! Then there are times when it just stops at unpredictable places, or refuses to cooperate. Occasionally, it just crashes the app, as you said. I do think that they consider this as a beta...

I have used that rear 12V plug to power our Tesla OEM air compressor (tire repair kit). It has run normally until the tire comes up to about 40 psi -- then as the compressor starts to labor, the power cuts off from the socket. I suspect that at higher current draws, the virtual circuit breaker...

I've seen threads about lots of J-1772 adapters melting on the S, X, and M3 forums, but I have not yet seen one here for the Model Y group, so maybe we're the first. Last night, my wife was about to plug our two month old Model Y into our Clipper Creek EVSE, in our garage, when she noticed that...

Here are more photos of the car at Delivery Day and being wrapped:

Our Delivery Day was moved a couple of times, but eventually, we got the call: "Your Model Y is ready for you. Would you like to pick it up today?" That was on Sunday, September 20th. The experience at the Orlando (Eatonville) Service/Delivery Center was truly excellent. Everything went as...

Just before we headed out the door to make the drive to pick up our car at the Orlando Service Center, our SA called us, and very apologetically told us that they had to postpone our Delivery Day. Bummer. During the SC acceptance inspection, they found a "part missing from the rear hatch". We're...

Actually, our SA, (Cristina) who works at the Florida Mall in Orlando, has been excellent! Really, she's been proactive and very well-informed. She's also very friendly! My wife and I ordered our MY sight-unseen, like many of us. The day after we placed our order, she called us to welcome us to...

This morning, I looked at a near-real time fire tracker that the New York Times is running. I was surprised at how close to Fremont that some of those fires are. Having dealt with the impacts of forest fires and brush fires several times in my life, I've seen that the wind speed and direction...

As we await our expected Sept. 17 delivery date, we dropped into (no appointment) the Tesla Store at the Florida Mall in Orlando, just to get a few questions answered and to actually see what a Y looks like. It was really a wonderful experience. Our SA was there, and she took a bunch of time to...

I was doing my daily Tesla website check today, and was thrilled to see that there were a couple of new entries to click on: Lemon Law and Purchase Agreement. Bingo! I got my MVPA with VIN of: 42,193, and the proposed delivery date of: 09-17-20. That makes 10 Days from order to VIN assignment...

The forum administrator should move this thread to the front page with a flashing alert, if that's possible.

Obviously, this should be the subject of an emergency recall. It should be checked immediately on all vehicles in service. This is an easy thing to check -- for a home mechanic or any shop anywhere. All you need is a torque wrench, and to know the proper torque value. You will have to jack the...

Happy Birthday Blue_Skies! ...Or is that Brent Spiner?
