I reported it to NHTSA Request #1479962 Tesla Model Y and some Model 3 catastrophic failures

So, have a 2022 MY that sufferred a catastrophic failure stopping the car and then got rear ended. It was taken to the body shop who could not get the car to power up. They replaced the pyrotech, the 12v lithium battery and still it wouldn't power up. So, they took it to the Tesla service who...

From what I know, Range Mode ensures the battery is in the best condition for the maximum drive efficiency AND prewarms the battery when heading to a Supercharger. I’ve seen this many times when I click on a Supercharger on the touch screen and navigate to it from the car’s map. It does NOT...

Typically I don’t worry much about Vampire Drain since I travel a lot and typically charge often. At home, I have a home charger so often plug in there too. However, on this trip since April 2021, I’ve been in the Bronx, NY where there are very few chargers and all are pay-to-charge. So, kind...

I’ve had the same confliction after acquiring my MS 2017 with HW2.5. At the time, the delivery owner had EAP taken off of it. He didn’t disclose that to me so it resulted in a lot of negotiation. I went online and purchased what I thought was EAP only to find out after the email I received later...

Just wait until all the on-hold event revenues don’t come in over the next few weeks to months, then see where the market goes. I’m guessing it will drop another 50-200%.

Still sounds like it’s a 50-50 proposition on purchasing FSD. As for ElectricIAC "Huh? If you have EAP FSD should only be $3-4,000 to u/g and still totally not worth it.” that’s only for post purchase. I bought my MS used and it was $8,000 for EAP&FSD. I only added EAP as I wasn’t sure I wanted...

I’m toddling with the idea of purchasing FSD (have EAP with HW2.5) but still haven’t convinced myself that it’s a value added option AND will change the resale value of the car over just selling it as is and buying a 2020 MS or other. I have a 2017 Model S 100D with EAP. Anyone out there with...

I bought a used 2017 Model S 100D which had EAP but no FSD. The FSD now would be $7,000 ($7,499 inc tax). I’ve struggled to see the value and if the feature will change the trade-in/resale value of the car in the future? My challenge is that I think I should really just enjoy this car and...

As for all the thumb drives and statements of what ‘should’ work, I’ve been through about 5 or so thumb drives. I even ordered a new Samsung 256GB FIT Plus USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A Flash Drive which had the best reviews and likelihood to work. The drive worked fine everywhere EXCEPT in my late...

Ok, thought it was MCU 1.5 but not really up on the different MCU’s out there. So, if I upgrade to FSD, doesn’t that get a new MCU (2x?)?

My two Powerwall 2 units have a gateway which to me seems like the automatic transfer switch essentially as it has three connections in it: Solar, Grid and Powerwall and Load (house). It takes care of where the Solar goes - either to the powerwall to charge or back to the grid or to the Load...

hmm, I have 10.2 and 2019.40.2.1 There’s no rear camera recording on any of my sentry cam clips. I have a 2017 Model S with HW2.5 How come?

What I’ve noticed is that the v10 update did improve a lot of the autopilot image functionality with better lane lines and traffic images. A few things I have also noticed: 1) there is significant lag when an image (car/truck/motorcycle) goes from one camera field to another (e.g. moving slowly...

So I purchased a Samsung 256GB FIT Plus USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A Flash Drive I have yet to get my 2017 model S 100D to see it despite being on the most up to date firmware (now 2019.32.2.2.da05838). I have formatted it FAT32 and EXFAT with no change - still doesn’t light up the little icon on the...
