Well, there were two options back then. As I recall, the original plan for crewed LEM testing was to launch the LEM and the CSM to LEO on separate Saturn I's then perform rendezvous and proceed with the testing. I believe the thinking at the time was Saturn V's wouldn't be ready in time. As...

If I understand this correctly, Artemis III would be much like Apollo 9, where there was a full test of the docking, crew transfer, operation, and redocking of the LEM / CSM in LEO. There was no need to fly to the Moon to do this, nor is there a need to do it with Orion and Starship. Breaking...

Instead of scrolling the speed back up, I disengaged FSD and when it asked "What happened?" I made several reports that it shouldn't be dropping down to the indicated minimum speed limit. When I arrived home and the car connected to WiFi it uploaded almost 11 GB... I'm guessing that was mostly...

Yep, I noticed the same thing on my way home from the eclipse last week. Once I crossed the GA state line on I-75 southbound, it felt like SFSD found every Minimum Speed 40 MPH sign and reacted to them. It was highly annoying. After encountering a few and scrolling the speed back up, I...

I don't recall any issues heading north to Ohio for the eclipse, but that might be because the nav routed me off I-75 N in Dalton, GA on to state highways up to Cleveland, TN to rejoin I-75. But heading back home not long after crossing the GA state line on I-75 S there was a string of Min...

I haven't seen mine do that, but it doesn't appear to be a valid fault code according to the manual. I would cycle the circuit breaker off for a couple minutes then back on to see if a reboot clears it.

I've been keeping an eye on Pivotal Weather's Eclipse 2024 page and the NWS Weather Prediction Center's Twitter/X account. https://www.pivotalweather.com/eclipse2024/?m=nbm&p=cloudcover_labeled&r=conus https://twitter.com/NWSWPC/

They did. Canadarm2 has Latching End Effectors on both ends. There are multiple power and data grapple fixtures on the U.S. segment it can "inchworm" between, including the mobile base system that runs along the truss the solar arrays are mounted on. They also built Dextre, which Canadarm2...

I believe they did hint at the answer. The lander is setup to switch antennas and/or radios in the event of a lost or poor comm link to try to establish a good link. With it on it's side, it's doing that continually now. So they likely only have brief windows to talk to it before it switches...

Perhaps I should have given mine a little more time (although the tech did say my board was internally faulting). If it happens again I might try your approach of buying a replacement board as a spare then waiting longer to see if it recovers before I swap it.

I'm getting it as well.

My 2021 is still under warranty and the estimate I got was listed as 0.00 "Pay Type: Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty" and that's what I ended up paying. I don't see where it's a scam. If it fails under warranty they pay, if fails outside of warranty you pay.

Service Center had my car for 4 days and I got it back today. The tech confirmed the lack of LTE, "Found that the LTE connectivity board was internally faulting" and replaced it under warranty. So it's back to normal.

Similar to my experience and I tried the same steps with the same results. Although mine was working after the update to 44.30.5.1, that I received on 12/22. Two weeks later on 1/5 was when I noticed the LTE was down. In service mode mine shows the modem with Roaming "Allowed" and Valid IMEI...

My 2021 LR's LTE connectivity board appears to have died about a week and half ago. After several scroll wheel reboots, a full power off reboot, and the update to 2023.44.30.8, there is no change. Service mode also shows the cell connection as bad. I have service scheduled next week...
