    Gigafest????

    Travis County approved today. I had the date incorrect --- not 27, but 22nd. Keep an eye out for any info.

    Gigafest????

    My understanding it is a Permit Required Event by Travis County (surrounds Austin) which has jurisdiction on major gatherings. So the County will limit the overall size of the event. The final review of the 15,000 person permit is scheduled for March 27th. At this time It would seem "just...

    Gigafest????

    Tesla announced that priority will be the Austin area residents. The permit was for 15,000 attendees. According to Elon's tweet, Austin residents will be given first priority. Travis County, Tx commission meets on March 27th to review the mass meeting request. Info on Teslarati.com below...

    Front License Plate Holder on a Refreshed 2022 Model S

    If you elect to remove it, take it to a body shop to have it removed. The double-sided adhesive is very strong and the screws to remove the "color-matched portion are uncommon. You don't want to damage the front facia. I don't think the mounting plastic honeycomb piece behind the...

    When will my car get updates? Its been AGES already!

    @PorthosJon I Understand your point. However, it is not sequential of date of purchase or by date of manufacture. There are differing updates based on every Model and each Variant of those models -- A model Y Standard range is different SW that a Performance Y and different than a Long Range...

    When will my car get updates? Its been AGES already!

    Tesla is the only Auto Company that updates its cars features with no cost to the purchaser. Software has to be reliable since it is driving your car. Testing and validations is imperative. As an old song goes "Fools Rush In". My 2019 Tesla has 44 updates/improvements in two years. No other...

    When will my car get updates? Its been AGES already!

    Car Wash mode is only for 3 and Y -- not sure why. I have no interest either since I never take my Tesla through a Car Wash tunnel. However, it makes sense for those who do to release the brakes, fold the mirrors and turn off the Windshield wipers. Check you setting in SW and make sure you...

    When will my car get updates? Its been AGES already!

    Obviously, the first number is the year the release was STARTED. In the case of 2021.4.xx means the 4th week of the year. The current release is 2021.24.4. It was released a couple of weeks ago. Some may have gotten 2021.24.3 which was the first release for the base code of 2021.24.0...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    That's odd. Ghosting was seen on early MX's potentially attributable to early manufacture of its 5 1/2 foot wind shield. Thus the thread was "dead" for nearly five years. May I suggest cleaning your windshield (outside) with rubbing alcohol and using a single edge razor blade (sliding as if...

    Air Conditioning Reduced DC FastCharging/Supercharging rate may be reduced -Error Help

    @unknownR Good luck. The SC here fixed my 2016 MX. It made a significant difference in noise when charging and AC performance in "Hot-Lanta". Hope they find it.

    Air Conditioning Reduced DC FastCharging/Supercharging rate may be reduced -Error Help

    @unknownR On some early X's there was a misconnection of the cooling/AC ports. Caused AC to be reduced and loud cooling fan noise when charging. Have SC check the following: Service Bulletin 420007 for Tesla EQUIPMENT | AutoMD

    Can't erase a sentry video listed as "Online"

    Sentry events that caused Full Alarms like glass breaking, body movement, loud noise when parked, etc. were previously uploaded to Tesla in Freemont and held for 90 days. If the owner didn't contact Tesla for a copy, it would be deleted. Tesla no longer uploads those alarms. They are now...

    Model S Delivery Event on June 10, 2021 [Rescheduled] - What to expect?

    Most likely not 4680's in the Long Range or Plaid. Elon already commented the new models of S and X will have updated 18650 batteries. These are modified to accept the higher Level 3 Super chargers similar to the Model Y,3 and will have a larger diameter internal power cables. Something...
