That's the plastic bottom part. The metal part is what he was talking about. It's expensive/involved enough that some people just buy some aftermarket side skirts to cover it up. Unlike the Model Y, the metal part is part of the body (go from the rear quarter panel to the metal rocker, you will...

It's kind of like the stop sign logic previously. If there were no cars in the intersection, it would roll the stop (like most human drivers do). Of course the law doesn't allow for that. For the record, I stop at stop signs and also signal even if there are no apparent cars around. Better safe...

Or it could be typical Tesla parts stocking speed. Tesla wasn't exactly fast in stocking their CCS adapters (for Teslas) nor many parts in their store (like the 14-50 adapter for example).

That's actually quite bad for deep sleep. Did you have cabin overheat or summon standby on? Do you have any third party apps that can access the car? Does the garage have any LTE reception? One theory is the car may waste more energy trying to find a connection (similar to how a cellphone in a...

I disagree. There are highways that pass through slower zones with pedestrian crossings and it would be highly annoying for AP/autosteer to just cancel through those sections. It may also lead to mode confusion (which is one issue pointed out by the NHTSA). Keeping in a lane is not an issue and...

Thanks for updating so at least we know that there are still SOME service centers that are willing to sell them. Doing a parts only request may have helped, because otherwise there is a boilerplate response where they may push you to a body shop, because Tesla generally doesn't deal with...

But the point is it doesn't always strictly follow the speed sign, especially if you have the automatic speed setting. The same thing may apply to the turn arrows on the ground. It may read the turn arrow, but that doesn't mean it has to follow it (it can choose to favor map data).

Get one with USB 3.0 support (usually the plastic for the connector is blue; if you look closely there are 9 pins instead of 4 pins in USB 2.0) and as short as possible (for lowest voltage drop). The port itself is USB 3.0 and the Tesla USB stick is USB 3.0. I don't have specific recommendations...

But does the arrow show up in the visualization of the road for the correct lane (s)? That was my main question. Again, whether the car can read and recognize the arrow is separate from whether it acts on it. It may weigh any map data more heavily, but that doesn't mean it can't read the turn...

Because if the "restock" cost is too high, there is going to be little difference from the owner selling the car themselves, which makes the return policy far less attractive. It was already dubious how many additional sales that policy drove in the first place (even with no cost to the owner)...

Turn arrows on the lane itself is one of the few things FSD visualizes. It doesn't do that for road signs other than speed limits and stop signs. Whether it acts on that information is another matter. For your particular example are you saying that even when the road is completely clear (such...

If there is an advantage, people are going to be prone to abuse. If there is little to no advantage, the policy is pointless and will do little to drive extra sales. That's kind of the dilemma. You are proposing to turn every Tesla into a rent to own scheme, which as another pointed out, Tesla...

Only needed a short section for my 14-50 installation, so price didn't really matter to me, but at Lowes the THHN costs less than Home Depot, so the price difference (at least here in California) is only 60 cents for bare solid vs 68 cents a foot for green THHN: Southwire (By-the-Foot) 10-Gauge...

It's simply not sustainable once they sold a certain volume of cars, especially with people abusing it (as people would with any return policy). There is a reason why no automaker has such a policy either (even if they have high satisfaction ratings). Fact of the matter is the returned car...

My understanding is any versions that reaches employee personal vehicles are already early access Beta. Actual alpha releases would be in company owned vehicles.

They really should put in a stop sale on the option until the firmware is fixed. Not sure if you ordered on an order page or directly by using service request. If service request, it's possible they did delist it, but the service folks might not see the message or missed it.

This thing was discussed when people had wishful thinking about cameras inside the Highland headlights. I mentioned the same glare problem. Even if as suggested, it's in a separate partition, there may still be light bleed problems. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7233517/ I think a far...

Is this your first car? I have owned much older cars, also have used more modern Mercedes and BMW, all of them have the exterior trunk release in generally the same area (between the two rear license plate lights). I found it immediately intuitive and didn't even have to consult the manual to...

The windshield, roof, and rear liftgate glass is made of laminated glass, this blocks almost all of UV (due to the plastic layer in the middle). https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/Model_Y_Emergency_Response_Guide_en.pdf This article claims...

That's the problem with selective quotes, you left out "and manage the process". There's a lot of other potential jobs involved in that. Plus he never said his description of the job duty covered all 500 people. He only pointed out which parts are explicitly farmed out (and having been involved...

Like the other commenter, I'm not quite sure what you are referring to here. Are you talking about the car's touchscreen? The trunk and frunk open buttons are in its own section and there isn't any other button nearby. I have never accidentally hit it or even come close. I have a hard time...

Not sure where you got this? My reading of the original comment is the friend's job was to do land acquisition, not that all 500 people fired were only doing land acquistion.

My statement is more intended to say assuming similar conditions, the battery doesn't care if it is driving or stationary, it's still going to wear (the cycles are not suddenly "free" just because the car isn't moving). And as per other threads doing deep analysis of battery wear, surprisingly...

What's different about it? It's pretty trivial to Google Subaru owners hitting their hatch on the garage door also. https://www.subaruxvforum.com/threads/lift-gate-opens-too-high-for-garage.180974/ I think in general it's the owners responsibility to ensure their hatch/trunk can open safely in...

I don't see how you get 393.75MWh. I think you likely mixed up your units. 25MWh represents 120k equivalent miles of usage before it degrades to 70% (which is "end-of-life" for laptop batteries). The math is 358 miles EPA for a full cycle. 120k miles / 358 miles = 335 equivalent full cycles...

Wholesale prices even in high priced California peaks at less than 14 cents. California electricity prices by hour? - Thunder Said Energy Retail residential prices even at tier one is 43 cents. Lowest rate possible is 34 cents (off-peak winter season on EV plan)...

Retail customers would have even less interest if they are paid wholesale prices. See the whole NEM fight. As another pointed out, running an extension cord to a neighbor in a rare outage, I'm pretty sure most people are ok with, but they don't really want the power company taking the power...

My understanding is they already do if you opted in to data sharing?

I don't think that will help. You want control on your phone, not theirs, so you would need your device at the car. You can read the manual here. There is no such thing as "disable phone key" in general. You can delete a certain phone key, but that wouldn't suddenly put the car into a different...

That's interesting, for my android phone this is not the case at least for older versions. In fact one of the touted features of Teslas is that if you lose your keys you can install an app on a third party phone and remote unlock and remote start it in an emergency. Maybe they changed this...

Yet you gave a disagree when someone who responded to your original statement correctly pointed out you didn't specify stop-and-go and 10mph in the original statement and clarified they meant a different type of traffic in their comment about slamming on the brakes. FSD v12.x (end to end AI)...

Waymo already has a "stopping for pedestrian" indicator, it shows the following image (also in the front): The bus situation (where it cut off the bus) is tougher. In that case, lack of eye contact probably played a role. The bus driver had no way to tell the intention of the AV, so he wasn't...

If yours is at 50 psi, you aren't having the same problem others are having. Theirs are triggering at 45-ish. From what I can find OEM 19" Gemini tire is the Continental ProContact RX 255/45R19 104W XL T1 which has a max cold psi limit of 51 psi. Depending on what actual psi number you are...

If you don't need it to look nice, something quick and dirty after you measure the dimensions (depth, width, and height) required to make sure it will still go over it when pushed all the way to the left (while still fitting in the glovebox) -plastic or metal electrical box at your local...

For the OP they swapped to OEM sensor and then never reported back, so presumably it was fixed by doing that? You can probably @ the OP to see if that was the issue. Another post upthread also had someone buy from PMC Tire and had the same issue. TPMS reports "tire pressure higher than...

But for those people they don't have to do a wrap, it's entirely optional (just like how although many painted Tesla owners opt for PPF, many don't). So I don't see how some people opting for wraps invalidates those that choose to keep the finish stock. If there are plenty, shouldn't it be easy...

People spend the same for PPF on painted Teslas. Having had experience doing DIY PPF, the Cybertruck looks far easier to wrap because it doesn't have curves. Link to any ones confirmed totalled? The ones I see with damage the stainless steel panels held up really well, just the plastic bits...

Probably talking about this: "In China, all intelligent driving systems are required to obtain a mapping qualification before they can operate on public roads. Foreign firms need to partner with domestic companies that have obtained the license."...

From the story, it seems to say it was corrected: "Correction: A previous version of this blog post incorrectly reported that the Trump administration had approved the first-ever commercial sale of lethal weapons to Ukraine. It stated that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis had publicly supported arms...

Yes, better safe than sorry if your warranty is almost up. Also at least take screen shots of your warranty request as proof you put it in (in case it gets deleted somehow). If you report the issue under warranty and it turns out to be a hardware issue later on, they would still have to cover it...

From this reddit thread, some cars have an issue where the TeslaCam folder disappears from the usb drive and the in-car reformatting doesn't add it back for some reason (but it's obvious if you plug the drive into a computer). Some people every few updates, they have to do a reformat, a reboot...

Many crossing guards in the Bay Area are volunteers and may be at retirement age already anyways, so they aren't really in it for the money. Plus there is no guarantee if you get hit you necessarily will still live or be able bodied.

I think your particular example for 11.x is because FSD wasn't able to handle U-turns (it still barely does even in the current version) so FSD may have had a built in "avoid U-turns" function that wasn't visible in the UI. But because the UI doesn't show a full lane plan for the whole route...

The latter is exactly what I mean, it should have a lane planner that plans out EXACTLY what lanes it needs to be in for the whole route before even setting out. Yes, traffic conditions can change and you miss a certain lane (just like how you can miss a turn following the navigation), but...

I have a 2021 Model 3 delivered end of 2020 (with a high endurance microSD card inserted into a Ugreen card reader connected to the glovebox USB port, but still with data on the usb-c connectors in the center console). An update back in May 2022 (2022.12.x) broke the dashcam for many people and...

In the near term, it's unlikely for the relative ratings to change much, even with the slower Tesla expansion. My point was more looking much further in the future, when there might be some new players also (for example the Ionna network). And it's to push back on the notion you must be a...

I'm presuming pay and benefits are similar or comparable, in which case which one is leading might be the deciding factor. And if it is about pay it's possible Tesla still has better pay/benefits (especially if you consider the stock options). The problem with other charge networks is most of...

Remote assistance can't actually remote control the car (Waymo has made that point very clear including in the latest PR). The car is still responsible for making the driving decisions and any "don't hit stationary objects" logic should still be functioning.

And this time unlike the tow truck incident, there is no trajectory prediction involved. It also doesn't look like it was a slight misjudgement of distance (like the curbing that happens with FSD during turns), it just straight up smacked right into it (enough to bend the bumper and front grille...

AP and FSD stats are different. AP might crash a lot less per mile because it's mostly used on straight higher speed roads. FSD is used more on slower roads with turns and intersections. And the stat is AP+human. It's a win-win because it also reduces driver fatigue, allowing the human to focus...
