Used Model X 2018 new purchase, frunk won't open

Love my new vehicle. It has been great. Was able to open it at the dealership and a few times after I purchased it, no problems. I went to a family gathering to show it off. Pressed the frunk button but it did not open. Tried it on the touch screen and it didn't open. I hear some mechanism trying to activate but nothing happens. The frunk appears yellow as if it is open on the screen but it remains closed in real life. Tried to search youtube on how to open it manually but I could not find the hole with the two little rope things to pull. Thanks for any advice.

Possible to trigger dashcam recording remote (like from app or API)?

hi, anyone knows if it's possible to trigger an autosave of the camera's (saved clips) but remote?
Inside the car on the touch panel this is possible, save clips, or press honk, or press scroll wheel if configured but remote I haven't found any way. In the app you can turn sentry mode on, but this won't record owner is close by, or the 10 minutes or so after closing the car.

I haven't tried yet if honking from inside the app would also trigger saving the clips but there surely must be a more elegant way to do that.
Inside Home Automation, I have access to 55 sensors/entries but none of them is saving clips.

Speakers SR+ ; Additional subwoofer

Hi,

I just bought a secondhand Tesla Model 3 SR+ Build past 03/2020(so I have rear speakers). But 6 speakers aren’t active unfortunately.. Just like the footwell lights.
I’ve seen some videos of people installing a new wiring set with & without the back speakers or subwoofer.

My question: what wiring set do I need with the back speakers?
I see some advertised with only the 4 front speakers.
I saw some for the brand Hansshow but are the rear speakers defined as surround speakers?

With that, I also have a older subwoofer(Pioneer TS-WX140DA) Its a under seat active sub. Is it possible to wire this aswell? Or is it gonna need too much amps?

I hope someone can help me from their past experience!

Why don't I see Blind Side Assist available on 2017 MX?

We have a subscription to FSD Beta. However, Blind Side Assist does not show as an option [should I be looking someplace else?]. Up to now, I have not enabled, FSD, but even now, when I do (after all the dire warnings) I see no way to get blind side assist.

Since this is an older model, are there any non-obvious hoops I have to jump through to get this feature enabled? Or are we just SOL?

Thanks

Car died today

2024 model, purchased in February. I was packing up my car to go for a mountain bike ride. I had just updated the car about an hour earlier to 2024.3.10. I pulled the car out of my driveway and ran back into the garage to grab some more gear and when I got back into the car, I suddenly had some errors on my screen saying the battery was low and it was shutting off functions to reserve power. My HV battery was at 49%, so I’m guessing the LV battery was at fault here. Within minutes the car shut down completely. I couldn’t do anything.

I tried “jumping” the frunk to open it and see if I could jumpstart the car and at least get it back into my driveway, but that didn’t even work. I tried two 12v batteries and even a 9v after those 12v ones wouldn’t work. Nothing happened. No sound of the frunk unlocking.

So, I had to call for roadside. After explaining my problem in the app, I then got a text message asking me to explain my problem again, only for them to say “we will call you about your problem” and having to explain it a 3rd time… they finally have sent a tow truck. None of the service centers around me are open on the weekend, so they won’t be able to look at my car until Monday. So, there goes my weekend plans. Yep, I’m pouting a bit. lol

Why doesn't the mobile app display the correct version number after updating to v12?

I received the new update for v12.3.4 a few days ago, but after installing it, the mobile app still displays version number v11.1 instead of the latest one. However, the release notes on the app correctly state v12.3.4. Based on my previous experiences, the version number displayed on the app would usually change immediately after updating in the past, so I'm wondering why it didn't show the newest version this time. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Go Anywhere Tesla website missing Model Y Rear Wheel Drive Model Configuration Choice

Does anyone know why my particular Model Y configuration, Single Engine, Rear Wheel Drive, 260 miles EPA Range, is completely missing from the choices from which to choose in planning a route on the Go Anywhere Telsa website? For the Model Y the only two choices are Model Y Performance 303 mi (range) and Model Y Long Range 330 mi (range). In order to use the website I have to select the Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive 272 mi (range) to get an idea of route with appropriate Supercharger stops, etc. I just hope the Navigation in the car itself knows it is a Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive model when I select a trip using it.

Turn signal is permanently stuck on

Hello :)

A new weird problem has started with my 2018 model S. Right right-hand headlight's turn signal is permanently stuck in glow. It's on all the time even if the car is locked or asleep.
There is excessive moisture inside the unit so my guess is something is horted.

The question is; is there some way to disable that light strip, even if it is destructive? It's quite powerful and lights up the whole parking lot at night.
The temporary solution is to disconnect the whole lamp while waiting for a replacement. Would the car be able to keep up charge on the 12v if it happened to be let on for days at a time?

2 Quick Charging Qs for a Noob

Just got my Y a few weeks ago and loving it so far as well as my wall charger. 2 quick questions. Am I ok to keep it plugged in when not driving or pull it? Does it hurt the battery if I lets say only drive 50 miles and I keep recharging it up to 80 percent or I am I better off for longevity to let it run down to 20 percent and then recharge?

Could you help me diagnose the issue with my car after driving on a dirt/rocky road, where it made a strange sound and emitted a burning plastic smell

This past weekend, I parked on a gravel road at the back of the church due to being late. When leaving after the service, my car emitted a concerning sound reminiscent of a struggling accelerator, accompanied by a sensation as if I had run over something, despite the car moving forward. There was also a strong burnt plastic or rubber smell, which dissipated upon returning to the concrete road. Now, I'm experiencing a wobbly sensation and reduced traction while driving. Despite having rotated my tires and confirming good tread, I'm uncertain about the cause of these issues. Should I seek assistance from a Tesla service center or a discount tire to diagnose and address this problem? Does anyone know what this could be?😭 sincerely a scared 23 year old woman

Are the black and white seats made of the same leather in the Tesla 2024 Model 3 Highland?

I plan to order a Tesla 2024 Model 3 Highland.
However, I have a question regarding the interior and seats.
Are the black and white seats made of the same leather in the Tesla new Model 3 Highland?
Are the black seats and white seats different only in color, and are everything else the same?

If anyone knows exactly, please respond.
