YES! The missing critical pc. of info that Tesla omits! WC does NOT! broadcast nor listen on it's own little SSID _EXCEPT_!! at initial deployment or briefly after poweron. So an already-local-wifi-setup WC just sitting idle will NEVER work to connect to Tesla App if you just follow their...

An inverter interface cannot 'Know" what is not being used locally for some other purpose. Talking to inverter seems like a very wrong-headed approach, since at best it can only tell you how much solar is being generated, not what is being exported to the grid. I love this approach of instead...

It is really a pity that T doesn't have feasible full-battery-replacement methodology. Given how uniquely vulnerable to degradation, as well as potentially very recyclable their own battery packs could be.. I guess a cynic could opine that other things wearing out at the same time just means...

I wonder what the engineering meetings sound like at Tesla in the FSD/TeslaVision groups sometimes. It may well be that eventually, some day, the "vision-only" gamble will pay off, will actually work, but I agree with the author here that in the short term, in the here&now, a large functional...

Yes and double-yes to the idle range between heat and cool! But then again.. to work where I live (midwest) it'd also need humidity sensors and even then wouldn't really work probably, so I just accept having to constantly fiddle with the temp. when outside is anything above 45-deg. Annoying...

Hm. Well, in my particular case, I can have both. I just have to hop back & forth between the two Schedule page tabs to make sure both are on. For eg. in my case, it then charges at midnight for however long needed to get to desired SOC, then wakes up to precondition for 8am. A tad clumsy...

Several times in winters, the windows misbehave. Typically in conditions of around zero-deg.F. Most commonly they come down on door-open then do not go backup on door-close. Sometimes though, maybe 2x or 3x per winter, if lowered for something like a parking ticket/fee, don't go backup at...

Relatedly... In the T app, at least on Android, if there is currently a Schedule for charging set up, and you go and change the Schedule for Departure, an undesired side-effect is that your Schedule for charging (the other tab) gets disabled. So.. my own...

What, IMHO, is needed is the One-shot. Charge tonight, just tonight! at 1am. Precondition once for 4:30 pm departure today, just today. No schedule, no location dependency, no recurrence. For a company so enamoured of KISS, it eludes me why this is absent.

Efficiency? MPGe? Miles-per-kwh? On paper, the Y claims better, your experience?

Perhaps.. Wonder what the ends of the 'whip' look like. The ECU itself/alone might be interesting. If still available, maybe drop me a note [email protected].

Same. Pixel 3 and a new Pixel 6, both at A.12 do not auto-launch. The Pixel 3 has been at A.12 since November '21 and is orphaned by Google since then so obviously no update there. The Tesla app auto-launched on it reliably every single day (my devices are always turned entirely OFF every...

Was there any consequence to how the M3 senses the obstruction behind it, eg. bike rack or trailer, using their own custom module? I have a hitch but if I put a bike rack or cargo platform in it the visual always is hazard-orange behind the car and it beeps frantically if I go into Reverse.

From just my own anecdotal experience... YMMV (with the knock-off rack, not Tesla's) - wrapping a 5, or even 12' long 1/8", or 1/4" dia. bungee cord around the bar had nearly zero impact on noise. To my ears it was actually worse, since not only did it do nothing for the whistle, but it added...

OMG, so helpful & effective, many thanks.
