I haven't turned off my chimes and I get a fair amount of false alarms. It is actually amusing sometimes. At certain curves I get a false warning that I'm running off the road just about every time I navigate them. In one specific place I drive, the evening sun causes the car to detect a...

The car was parked under our carport. Here in the mountains of NC wintertime low temps are not uncommon. Never heard of a tire freezing though they do ride a little rougher when temps are getting near zero. The temp was 11 degrees when I started out this morning and the vibration occurred once...

I bet that is exactly what happened. It felt like a brake shudder the more I think about it. I was not aware that the software added braking when regen is not fully working. The regen braking was not working as I had to ride the brakes down the steep hill this morning which I have not done...

Thanks for the reply. My tires are rotated every 5k. Pressures are good. This only happened one time. Flat spots on the tires would cause an ongoing issue.

It was about 14 degrees when I started out this morning. I drove about 100 yards down the road with nothing unusual but when I let off the accelerator to go down a steep hill it there was a vibration that almost felt like driving over a rumble strip. The regen braking was not working which I...

My 2016 Silverado has the backup camera mounted above the tailgate release handle. If the tailgate is down and the truck is in reverse, the driveway is the only view. Just the nature of the tailgate mounted camera... good view when the gate is up and obstructed when the gate is down.

Visited the Cybertruck in Charlotte, NC Tesla Center. Truck looks great. It is still roped off and employees say they are not allowed to open the doors so we could get an inside view. Wish I could afford it!

Really disappointed. My plan was to sell my 2023 MY and my 2016 Silverado and purchase the Cybertruck. 4WD is a must but 80K plus tax is making a purchase out of reach. We can always dream that prices will drop and Federal tax incentives will increase but that seems pretty unrealistic.

I would like to think they are better than that but find they are very inaccurate when parking, to the point that I just ignore the warnings and drive like they didn't exist. On one curve when the sun is low the cameras detect a person standing in the road when no one is there.

Sometimes it is difficult or inappropriate to use the same terms for ICE vehicles and EV's. As I read through the threads in this forum I run across posts where people talk about starting their car. It just seems a little strange to me since I don't really start my EV, I just put it in gear...

Ha Ha. That's interesting! In my case the car is in the center of the lane but thinks it isn't. I live in a mountain area with lots of curvy back roads. There are certain places that I regularly drive that will almost always engage the lane avoidance warning. I'm not sure if it is the white...

IMO the weight of the vehicle has very little to do with how many nails/screws our cars pick up. I have owned pickup trucks that weigh as much or more than our MY's for more that 40 years and find it's rare to pick up a nail. It seems it depends on where the vehicle is driven not the weight...

Not meaning to get into semantics but what do most people mean when talking about "starting" their MY? I usually just get into my vehicle, put it in drive and go. If it is really cold, I hit the HVAC button on my app a few minutes before I get in and the HVAC warms the cabin. Since my MYLR is...

Can't remember the link. You'll have to search. Pics attached.

I modified my trunk area by cutting some of the carpet board in the trunk on my 2023 MY. My StanceMagic spare tire fits in this area. The tire raises the trunk floor by about 3/8" which is not noticed with a trunk protector pad. There is a thread on doing this on this site. Having a spare...
