You have to first select the autosteer feature. The buttons will un-gray. Once you pick which one you want, then enable FSD.

This "feature" was added by a software release last fall. Its supposed to make it easier to open the doors in cold weather. There's definitely a temperature threshold above which it doesnt drop the windows. As far as I can figure, its somewhere above 40 degrees F. What I dont like is when...

I read those instructions to mean if you're receiving this credit due to being part of a partnership of S Corp, report it on form 3800. A personal use charger obviously isnt that so all you do is submit form 8911 and report it on Schedule 3, line 6j. At least thats what I did. And then take...

If this is a personal income tax and not a business, what are you doing with form 3800?? Go to the irs website and download form 8911 and fill it out. the charger's for personal use so there is 0% business use. Then in HR Block, open the 1040 form, schedule 3, line 6j. Override its value by...

As a tire wears, the softer rubber on the tire tread gets worn away exposing harder rubber. As more and more of this hard rubber is exposed the tire gets noisier and noisier. I drove a plug-in hybrid for 11 years. I went through 2 tire replacements at around 25000 miles each. Each time I...

The clear washers go under the screw head. Then the black caps snap onto them.

Tapping the compass just cycles through the 3 display modes: Map shows planned route: This is just a really zoomed out display to show an entire planned route Map shows North as up: Thats the mode with the N rosette in the upper right. No matter which way the vehicle arrow is pointed, North...

I lucked out. It seems I live in a "rural" area even though its considered part of the Chicago metropolitan area.

I had to paper file to claim both the car rebate and the charger rebate. I downloaded the paper forms for the car (form 8936), and for the charger (form 8911) from the IRS website. Filled them out and printed them. Then I went to the HR Block program and overrode the calculated entries for...

You can also zoom in and out. Use two fingers and pinch in or out on the screen. Be careful though. If, as you're zooming, the compass icon changes from black to grey, the screen will auto revert back to its original settings in a few seconds.. If it stays black, you're good to go for the new...

I havent seen this mentioned anywhere yet, but ComEd has announced a rebate, up to $3750, for installation of an L2 charger effective February 1, 2024. https://www.comed.com/news/news-releases/2024-02-01 "As part of a larger investment to accelerate an equitable adoption of electric vehicles...

I lost one of my flaps in a 16 inch snowfall a few weeks ago. Found the flap but not the clips. I bought this on amazon. One of the assorted sizes worked. The upside is I now have 238 various sized clips for a future project...

This is beginning to look like a trend. I just had this happen to me. First, I could not open the port by pressing the port itself. Car was awake, the port wouldnt budge. I had to open the port by using the app and then when it opened, it immediately closed. Open, close, it was immediate...

I live in the green area just outside of town so the way I read the rules, I qualify for the charger rebate because I'm rural.

HR Block just released a preliminary form 8936 but totally deleted form 8911 for the charging station rebate. "Where is Form 8911? You might have been able to access options to complete Form 8911 in a previous version of our product. We won't be supporting this feature due to increased...
