    Bird eye view

    I have a very hard time centering my Model X in a parking space. Could be because I am vertically challenged, but I just cannot see the lines once I have committed to pulling into a space. If I put the car in reverse before I put it in park, I can see the lines in the backup camera and make...

    Upgrades to holiday display. How to get there?

    Last week, I dutifully installed 2022.44.25.5, anxiously awaiting the new New Year's animation. Much to my surprise, I cannot find how to play it. Is my 2020 Model X too old? While researching for the answer before posting this message, I also saw where Tesla will now allow you to design your...

    Virginia Beach service center closed. Norfolk SC opens.

    I think I can answer my own question. Upon further Googling, I found that Tesla has opened a new showroom in Norfolk. It has been working on this for well over a year and has had to fight the state DMV along with several other state agencies since it is against current law for a manufacturer to...

    Virginia Beach service center closed. Norfolk SC opens.

    Does anyone think it odd that Tesla would close a service center in Virginia Beach, VA only three years after opening it and move to a new location in Norfolk which is pretty out of the way for many Tesla owners? I never received any notice and found out about it only by the new address and the...

    How to keep the car on when I get out?

    I tried leaving my fob in the car but I guess it knew I wasn't in the driver's seat. Touching the screen is a great idea. We will try it next time we stop.

    How to keep the car on when I get out?

    I know this sounds crazy, but whenever we make a stop in my 2020 MX, like at the Supercharger, when I leave the car (and take my fob with me), the car wants to shut down. I put it in Dog Mode, but according to my wife, it still cuts off the radio after a few minutes. Please note that she has her...

    XM Radio Favorites - Tesla broke it - says it's "as designed". Hasn't used a radio in 40 years?

    You know, it occurs to me that Tesla has the opportunity to allow consumers to choose how certain things work in the cars. After all, the Tesla is basically a huge computer with wheels and a battery. The way that favorites are handled is completely arbitrary. Why can't they let it be modified in...

    Just Drove My Model Y in Light Rain at Night for 1st Time with "Tesla Vision" (2022.36.6): Autopilot was **Unusable**

    Remember that several years ago, Elon discussed wanting to have cars without steering wheels? With my experience with FSD in my 2020 MX, that is the last thing I would wish for. I am totally NOT impressed with FSD. Disappointed actually.

    Almost three months later, my tires look great!

    48kW at a 250kW Supercharger?

    I know this has been talked about over the years but I am getting quite frustrated with SC speeds. Just recently a new 250kW SC was opened nearby and it seems no better than the 150 down the road. If the charge on my 2020 X is down around 100 miles then plugging in will peak up and I might see...

    Blog Musk Gives Details on FSD 10.2 Beta Release

    I sure hope my score isn't predicated on erratic driving caused by my attempt today to use Autopilot on the way home from work. It actually changed lanes successfully for the freeway offramp and then put the turn signal on for a merge right when it spasmodically jerked left (with the right turn...

    Blog Tesla Crashes into Cop Car After Launch of NHTSA Autopilot Investigation

    You know, when I am driving in Autopilot and there are yellow flashing lights (the ones on top of a sign saying "Signal Ahead" or such, my MX spastically slows down or actually brakes. Quite dangerous, really. So, the technology exists already, all Tesla needs to do is change the color it is...

    New owner and some things that I do not like

    There are a LOT of this sort of thing that has never and will not likely ever get addressed. Especially frustrating is that many of the shortcomings could be solved by software. And even more frustrating to me is seeing what they actually do fix via software. Very puzzling.

    Flat Tires

    I had all four tires wear to the belt on the inside. It was because I had adjusted the ride height down and apparently the suspension lowering system does not compensate the camber of the tires and it wore them out pretty quickly.

    Flat Tires

    I have gotten three flat tires in one year on my X from nails and screws which is about two more flats than I had on my 2009 Highlander Hybrid in 10 years (I ran over a spike on the interstate). You may be talking about leaking tires, but I am talking about flats. My theory is that there is a...
