YMMV on phantom braking. Some people never have experienced it, others find it a daily occurrence. I've found it really depends on the road - most roads I drive I never get it; however, there's one section on one road where it happens all the time. I know where it is so I also know to accelerate...

You are correct. Those of us in FSD beta get very infrequent updates. I'm on the same version (as is almost everyone else in FSD beta). The 10.69.1 is out to about 1,000 testers for feedback and we should be getting 10.69.2 maybe in a week or two.

Tesla has learned about delays and so far, from what people are saying, are not allowing deferrals. The Y won't get the full credit in 2023 and the credit will only decrease going forward because of battery content. Plus, as you say, they may increase the price such that any tax credit is negated.

I have radar and joined FSD beta which changed me over to vision. I haven't noticed any significant difference. In heavy snow/snow covered roads, radar was useless anyway. Initially it will kick your high beams on (if you're not around others), but I just switch auto hi-beams off and it drives...

Google how to recalibrate your BMS. It will drift over time and display inaccurate readings even when the battery is perfectly fine. Also change your display to % and never use miles.

In the past, they invited groups of people based on their safety score. If you get in, you get the latest version (I did when I got in and that was when they first introduced safety scores). The big question is if/when they will include the next group. My guess based on what Elon said is that...

There's a new charger in Thayne at the Community Center (L2)

No - you don't qualify if you buy now. If you wait until 2023 and buy a SR, it may not qualify or only qualify for a % based on battery content. The price of the LR and P disqualifies those models, regardless of battery content.

By hard reboot, do you mean you disconnected the connector under the rear seats? A lot of people think stepping on the brake pedal and pressing both thumbwheels is a hard reboot...but it's not.

Also, some states require an estimate be given and accepted by the customer before work begins regardless of warranty status. That way you're not surprised by the cost if it winds up ineligible for warranty coverage.

I live even further from my nearest service center and haven't had any major issues in the 3 years I've owned my Tesla. I've had the mobile service come out twice (once to install Homelink, another time to replace a bad ultrasonic sensor). The mobile guys can do a lot but for major service...

I bought mine without FSD since the tax on the vehicle is based on the sales price. About a month after owning it, I hit the upgrade button on my phone by that night, I had an update ready to download and viola - FSD.

Tesla uses an open source for its maps (I think it's OpenStreetMaps) and errors, etc. would first need to be corrected in that database. You wouldn't see the corrections until then Tesla updated their map package and pushed it to everyone. Usually this only happens a few times a year.

Unless you push the "save" button (which I think is now a horn honk), there's a lag in saving the recording and thus no recording may have been saved.
