    what happened to Tidal and options for alternate streaming providers?

    I ranted about how bad Slacker is on another thread; as a Canadian Tesla owner, my only options are Slacker, Spotify, and Tidal. Meanwhile, at home I am a YouTube Premium subscriber. So if I am gonna subscribe to ANOTHER streaming service, I'd like to know about the other aspects - like how...

    Tidal and in car audio with 2021.40.x

    TL;DR: How do the suggestion & auto playlist algorithms compare between Tidal, Slacker, and Spotify on our Teslas? Cuz the free Slacker sucks really bad. More context: So, a lot of this conversation has been about the technical specs and the audio capabilities of the hardware/software in our...

    Should I order the official Winter Tire package or ...?

    Thanks for all the feedback everybody, there's some excellent stuff in here, and a few that made me chuckle. This seems like the most attractive angle out of the bunch, I'll chew on it a little more before committing. I gotta be honest, this is tempting. My biggest beef is that we hit +40C...

    Should I order the official Winter Tire package or ...?

    Okay, first off, while I am sure this topic has been covered before, I was having a hard time finding any threads that apply to my case. If there is one, I'd be more than happy to follow any links to other TMC forums about this topic. Now that that is out of the way ... TL;DR The package in...

    How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

    @DrGene Just a quick note: Based on your description, you aren't *actually* losing range or capacity on your battery, it's simply your computer registering a value based on "drifting" calibration. I would expect your "true" battery degredation is extremely minimal. The original post describes...

    Bug in "dumb" cruise control

    In my case, it doesn't "catch" at all until the road levels off. The only work-around so far is to let off the accelerator first (so a slight decrease in power, this a little deceleration) and THEN activating CC.

    Bug in "dumb" cruise control

    I've become halfways accustomed to it, so I usually catch it before it happens. I've found that sometimes, if I back off on the accelerator a little bit before engaging CC, it works just fine, even on a steep incline .... Usually.

    Why Is Tesla Forcing Software Updates If No Safety Issue Is Involved?

    For the love of God, is there any way to filter out all "articles" written by this hack? Just complete garbage. Not just the content, but the writing style. It's just bad, more like a blog than an article.

    Bug in "dumb" cruise control

    I agree. When I had the AP trial (twice), I found the TACC was annoying in 2 ways. First, when the speed is based on GPS and it's wrong (too fast in residential, too slow on secondary highway), and in the case you describe whereby a slow vehicle causes your own speed to drop at an inopportune...

    Bug in "dumb" cruise control

    That would be nice, if it actually just failed to engage, but it "turns on" without taking over until the incline decreases, at which point it begins to accelerate to the prescribed speed even if you've slowed. It becomes obviously dangerous if someone merges into your lane at a slower speed...

    Bug in "dumb" cruise control

    No Autopilot, not adaptive, (so no steering, no slowing down for slow cars or anything), just "dumb" cruise control.

    Bug in "dumb" cruise control

    It's *only* while trying to engage CC on a steep incline. It works all other cases just fine. Edit: just to be clear, if I turn on CC while driving on a level road, then encounter a steep incline, CC maintains just fine.

    Cruise engagement failure on hills

    I confirm, I too only have "dumb" cruise, and on an incline it doesn't engage properly. It shows on-screen that cruise is on, but releasing the accelerator slows the car the same as if there was no cruise control. Then once the hill levels off it takes over. Mostly annoying, but could be one...

    Bug in "dumb" cruise control

    Glad to hear this isn't just my car! Also, I'd guess a fix will happen eventually. Mine is on ver 2019.40.50.7

    Bug in "dumb" cruise control

    I've owned my M3 LR AWD now for over a year and love it, but I've finally worked out a strange (minor but potentially unsafe) bug with the non-AP cruise control. I've been able to replicate this behaviour several times now. When I am travelling up a hill (around 5% incline) at around 50-60...
