    Playing own music in 2024 Model Y

    This is the method I use to play my own music in a 2022 MYLR.

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    I was wondering about something like that too. It seemed to me that the car kept correcting back and forth between 1 and 3 seconds at a time. It felt like I was a ball in a channel and I was bouncing off the walls trying to keep centered. Maybe I imagined that.

    First time having major phone key issue

    So far, everytime my phone flakes on me, I find that if I pull out my phone, open the Tesla app (which is already running) and tap the unlock (or open rear hatch) it works. Thank goodness that I've not experience the more difficult problems others have had. When it does occasionally happen, I...

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    I was using FSD on my morning trip to a luncheon today. It came upon a 4-way light intersection, dual lanes each way. The light turned yellow when I was about 50 to 75 feet from the intersection. The car hit the brakes hard, but as it got to the intersection the brakes released a bit and it...

    handle

    My father has responded that he didn't think that device would help me very much getting in and out. He firmly believes that my practice of putting my hand on the top of the car allows him to reach up and grab my arm is a better approach for him. For now, I'm happy with what he wants me to...

    handle

    I'll check with my father and see if he thinks this will work for him. Thanks for sharing this with us/me.

    handle

    My father tells me that he misses the handle that normally is at the roofline of the door. He uses it to help me get in and out of the car. I have noticed that practially every other car has them. But those handles are missing on my MYLR. Does anyone else miss those handles? I haven't seen...

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    I've read quite a few of comments regarding FSD experiences. I can't say that I've heard anyone share a problem I experienced. During a test drive just after the trial started, I was on the highway. There was not a lot of traffic. With both hands on the wheel the car decided to drift right...

    Map went haywire during trip

    Last evening, I was driving about 45 minutes to a local destination. All of this travel is within a large metropolitan area and some suburbs. Cell service was not a problem. The iPhones in the car never had a problem. About 30 minutes into the trip, the map lost my location. It put me...

    Supercharger Full

    Recently, on my trip out of town, my MYLR asked me to choose an alternative SC since the one I selected on the map (8 spot) was 'busy'. It did so again 2 days later when I was coming back again. I did take the alternate SC site both times.

    Windshield wipers running on high when engaging auto pilot

    I have experienced this same problem too. I was wondering if this was a software bug or a hardware issue. A friend working for Tesla suggested it was a hardware issue. I'm wondering if this is a design fault, manufacturing fault, or quality assurance fault. Is Tesla looking to fix anyone's...

    Map display seems terrible to me

    Am I the only one who doesn't like the fact that you can easily read the subdivision names on the map, but can't see the the street names because they are too small, not there, or in a font you can't read? (Yup, I'm getting old) I can't fathom why subdivision names are so easily readable. I...

    Speed shown on display - accuracy?

    My experience over the years, all of my cars read about 2mph over. Given that consistency, I'm left wondering if that's the standard for all car manufacturers.
