    Supercharger - Carmel, IN - N Illinois St.

    I was there on Wednesday morning at 11 am. Was 1-2 other cars there during the 20 minutes or so I was there. I didn't react to the distance between the stalls and the parking spots across from them/by the store being that tight. Actually as much room or more than there is in any parking lot...

    Vacation Condo Vehicle; Lost Phone Key connection, now can't control charging/security/etc

    Ouch! Hope everything works out ok. Regarding the dialogue that @EVRider-FL and I were having over presence or absence of controls in the app, this does get to has phone key been turned off in the app on the device or removed as a key from Controls screen in the car. I set my iPad back up...

    Can I use my phone to open the door?

    Also the cellular connection for the car needs to be via AT&T. I've been in spots which were an AT&T dead zone, car did not have connectivity, but my Verizon phone had fine coverage. I've also had the inverse, a Verizon dead spot but my car had connection via AT&T just fine.

    for those that transferred their FUSC <March 31, 2024

    If it's AP1 and you have autopilot engaged, then when you hit the turn signal, it will change lanes. If you just have TACC engaged, and signal, then it won't auto change lanes as you're not in an auto steering mode with just TACC. Now, there are some caveats. If it thinks there's an...

    Minor accident using autopilot

    The definition of rural country roads is a bit subjective. There are many around where I live that are paved, have a center line marking, but no outside right edge of the road lane line or marking. My experience is AP can be active on roads without side line or markers. I've driven on many...

    for those that transferred their FUSC <March 31, 2024

    You said MSC2.0. Did you mean the MCU2 upgrade? If it's upgrade from MCU1 to MCU2, then yes, both the main screen and the instrument panel screen above the wheel get replaces as a part of that fix. Otherwise not sure what you mean by MSC2.0 or if that includes a screen replacement or not.

    What will I lose out on if I buy an early 2021 MSP?

    Be aware that Tesla has potentially "downgraded" the RAM for the MCU such that a brand new car may also not have the capability for Steam. So if Steam functionality is a critical item for anyone, they may need to start limiting their search to MS produced before end of Q1 2024 and want to refer...

    Autopilot Doesn't Slow When Speed Limit Changes

    I disagree with this statement. In fact, go look at the relatively long thread where people are complaining about all the cases, like signs for minimum speed, some state highway signs, where Tesla's vision system is incorrectly interpreting the signs to set an incorrect speed limit...

    What cameras does a '17 S 75D cone with?

    There are front cameras that are used by the autopilot system, but there is not a front bumper cam of any form that will show you how close you are to a wall or an obstacle when you are parking the car. No Tesla's have that at the moment. I would expect that your car does have ultrasonic...

    Supercharger - Nashville, TN - Charlotte Pike

    But what about that skid of what looks like possibly two charging cabinets that's still sitting on a skid in the parking area adjacent to the V4 stalls? Doesn't that still need to go in somewhere to power the total number of stalls I see pictured?

    Vacation Condo Vehicle; Lost Phone Key connection, now can't control charging/security/etc

    I have the same experience on my work iPhone that I do not have set up as a phone key. I can see the car, current SOC and location, but do not have any controls functionality. In terms of iPad support, my iPad is showing the same iOS version of the app as my phones. All three have been...

    Vacation Condo Vehicle; Lost Phone Key connection, now can't control charging/security/etc

    I honestly do not recall if I just disabled it in the app or removed the iPad as phone key in the car under Controls > Locks. It’s possible that is the key difference between our experience but I’m away from my car on business trip at the moment so not able to check to confirm this. I did...

    Vacation Condo Vehicle; Lost Phone Key connection, now can't control charging/security/etc

    You can not change the SOC setting, you cannot manually start charging, you can not unlock doors, etc. All you see is what the photo posted by @TonyJames shows.

    Vacation Condo Vehicle; Lost Phone Key connection, now can't control charging/security/etc

    I also had set my iPad up as a phone key, so had controls on it, but then turned phone key off. Now with phone key off I no longer have any of the controls. So I find it curious if you still have controls available on your iPad even though you have phone key turned off. @TonyJames - If you...

    Supercharger - Carmel, IN - N Illinois St.

    I also see it's live on Tesla's website charging map. I'm traveling at the moment, away from my car so can't confirm, but I'd expect it would also show up now in navigation/via the app.

    Vacation Condo Vehicle; Lost Phone Key connection, now can't control charging/security/etc

    I disagree with this statement. I agree that the phone key operates via bluetooth direct to the car while the app functions go through internet via Tesla server to the car. However, what I see between my two phones and my iPad, all where I have the Tesla app installed and can connect to the...

    Automatically set suspension to high when parking.

    Be aware. Just because you raise the car before you park, the car can settle while it's parked. This is especially the case if there is any minor air leaks in the air suspension. I've seen many posts through the years of people complaining of bumper rubbing, or worse yet, having the bumper...

    Model S MCU1 Toolbox Tips? - Pyro Fuse Expiring

    Is your car still within the 8 year battery warranty? If so, then replacement of the pyro fuse should be covered under warranty. Tesla's approach to that was a little inconsistent at first, but when I had it replaced on my mid-2016 MS 90D in December they covered it under warranty at no cost.

    Charging Status in Tesla App

    One of the reasons to leave the app running is if you have a newer car that uses your phone as key. You get the best performance for it automatically recognizing you when you walk up if the app is running in the background on your phone. Otherwise, you'll likely need to pull out your phone...

    Charging Status in Tesla App

    I don't think you'll find any appreciable difference in charging rate if the car is connected via wifi vs. cellular. The key issue with slow charging is charging on a standard 110v outlet is only about 1 kW, and if the car needs any energy to be running HVAC to precondition the car, or thermal...

    Complaints on FSD Version 12

    This is a part of the new "automatically determine speed" option that's on the Autopilot FSD menu. Toggle that option off and it will then revert to your selection of the speed limit plus whatever offset you've selected. I agree that on certain residential or in-city roads that it will go...

    FSD needs to learn how to read signs

    I'm just glad in the area I live it will interpret IN state highway 135 signs as 35 mph, and not 135 mph! I also find it interesting that it will interpret IN highway 46 sign as a 45 mph speed limit. So there's obviously some logic imbedded somewhere that speed limits are in increments of 5...

    Long distance weekly commute - Model S LR

    Which MS LR did you test drive? If it's the 2020 your referenced in your original post, then you listed it has only a 373 mile range when new, which for the displayed 299 at 88% would put it at about 9% degradation. Maybe a little more than I'd expect for a car 4 yr old / 67k miles, but maybe...

    Finally got my FSD trial - Major school zone issue

    I'm curious if you have the automatic speed option turned on. I find when I have that turned on, and no other cars around me, that FSD will go incredibly fast for some conditions. I live in a residential area with 4 lane divided with median (2 lanes each side). The speed limit is actually...

    Still no Bumper Cam or Ambient Lighting.

    I ordered my 2023 Model S LR end of last year which included purchase of EAP, which at the time included both autopark and summon. After my order was confirmed, there was a separate disclaimer that I received via the app which disclosed that my car did not have ultrasonic sensors or radar and...

    Long distance weekly commute - Model S LR

    for those that transferred their FUSC <March 31, 2024

    I've purchased both of my cars new through Tesla, including transferring my SC01 FUSC over to my new 2023 MS LR in end of 2023. If the car went from the first owner sold directly to the local 3rd party dealer, then there is a good chance you are OK, but no way I can guarantee that. Does the...

    for those that transferred their FUSC <March 31, 2024

    Is the car currently owned by Tesla? I'm not sure how to interpret your last comment and whether the "dealer" refers to the local Tesla service center or a 3rd party dealer that currently has the car. If the car is back in Tesla's ownership, then there is no guarantee that when the sell the...

    Abrupt Phantom Breaking at high speed - scary

    I've had lots of issues where FSD will misinterpret certain types of signs as speed limit signs. The 40 mph minimum speed signs that Georgia has posted all along I-75 get interpreted consistently as being the speed limit as 40 mph. I recently did a trip from Indiana to Sarasota, FL, and FSD...

    Maintenance reminders?

    My 2023 MS LR has under Controls > Service an item for tire maintenance. I expect this likely is also there for any of the "Paladdium" platform Model S variants, but unclear if that feature has been ported back to older variants. My belief is this is simply a separate "trip odometer" which you...

    Lock keys in car

    Just realize if you're relying totally on the app to unlock the car that this requires both your phone and the car to have connection to the internet. For your vintage of MS, there is not a direct phone to vehicle communication path. It's actually going from your phone, via internet back to...

    Updating to 2024.3.25 Auto Park

    I disagree with the statement that autopark is part of FSD. That has not been my experience on my 2023 MS LR (Vision only, no USS or radar). I first received autopark as part of 2024.2.13 on March 26. At that time I did not have an active FSD subscription. I did purchase EAP with my car, and...

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    I think you fail to recognize there are several components that determine insurance rate. Only one of which is your personal safe (or unsafe) driving record. Others have to factor in the risks of those operating vehicles around you as well as the cost to repair your vehicle. FSD does nothing...

    Where are the new fsd versions?

    I have a 2023 MS LR delivered very end of last year. I received 2024.3.15 with FSD 12.3.4 on Saturday, Apr 27. Then last evening on Apr 30 received 2024.3.25 which included FSD 12.3.6. Seems at least for my MS LR it skipped over FSD 12.3.5 and went straight from 4->6.

    FSD 12.3.4 Highway exits still terrifying

    I now exactly what the OP is taking about. It does seem to be somewhat variable based upon my experience running FSD (supervised) 12.3.3 on my MSLR. Sometimes is seems to do well, but othertimes it's incredibly abrupt, overshoots a bit to far to the right, then oscillates back left then...

    Recommended TIre Vendors (Not a particular tIre)

    I think trying to generalize by vendor is dangerous as this really comes done to the capability of the local shop. I think you'd get much more valuable input if you can reach out to people in the general area where you live and solicit their input.

    Fully paid FSD at purchase - feeling cheated, and left out

    If it was manufactured after mid-Oct 2016, then it is AP2. If it was AP1, the FSD was not even an option to purchase, not matter what the price. The only option with AP1 equipped vehicles is if you purchased what was simple called autopilot. There was no AP vs. EAP distinction with AP1, and...

    Charging battery properly

    @username787 : You maybe saw guidance that for some Model 3s with the LFP battery chemistry that Tesla recommends charging to 100% regularly, say once a week. That's actually not about maintaining the health of the battery, but is more about the battery management system (BMS) remaining...

    Supercharger - Hendersonville, TN

    Yeah, just saw you post on the Powell Ave site and was about to reply that seems you've found a new local hobby! Enjoy. Not sure when I'll get to Hendersonville again to try it out, but am sure will be there sometime this summer depending on when I go to visit family member that lives in the area.
