    Stacking premium connectivity with referral points?

    Reviving this thread. I'm on the automatic payment plan right now for premium connectivity. How do I stop that and pay up for premium connectivity with referral credits? What are the steps?

    Unfold mirrors only when driving away?

    That's good. My car is able to exhibit that behavior, too. However, on my 2020 MS LR, there are two settings that control the mirrors: auto-fold and fold-at-this-location. When I turn on only fold-at-this-location, it works as you describe (good). If I add the auto-fold setting, which folds the...

    Unfold mirrors only when driving away?

    Oh yeah The software that controls the mirror auto-folding and location auto-folding is buggy, resultling in the erratic behavior you describe. I've been reporting this to Tesla to be repaired (under warranty!), but no dice. When it comes to broken software, they don't have time for that...

    Operate Windshield Wipers When Car is "OFF"?

    I took your suggestion. I put a bunch of heavy stuff on the seat (and leaned stuff on the seat back), but the car would not stay "on" and have the wipers run. I suppose this approach could work, but it's not practical to find enough weight to fool the car. Thanks, anyway! (You can put that rock...

    Operate Windshield Wipers When Car is "OFF"?

    Yup. This is why I asked how this would be done with one person.

    Operate Windshield Wipers When Car is "OFF"?

    Yup. This is why I asked for having the wipers operating at high speed, not parked.

    Operate Windshield Wipers When Car is "OFF"?

    I want to troubleshoot a windshield wiper that is "wobbly" when running on the high speed. If I get out of the car, the wipers stop wiping (immediately, or after a few strokes). Is there a way for one person to have the wipers running when not sitting inside the car? Perhaps some special...

    Folding Mirrors will not stop folding

    Here's something that just appeared on a new thread. It looks like you're on the right track: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/auto-fold-mirror-problem.317422/

    Folding Mirrors will not stop folding

    I hope this works for you. The user interfaces vary greatly across the models. (That's why I specified mine when posting the images.) (The Location button you mention is not the only ephemeral message. I'm often frustrated by messages that disappear before I can read them. It would be nice to...

    Folding Mirrors will not stop folding

    Were you successful? Be sure to let us know how you were able to solve the problem. Other Model Y owners might benefit. (…and I'm curious.)

    Folding Mirrors will not stop folding

    Try this. (It's the view on my 2020 MSLR.) Park in your mirror-folding location. On the Controls page, tap the X button next to Auto-Fold Set at This Location.

    How to set the mirrors of my Model S to fold automatically after locking the car?

    Note that there are TWO settings that control the mirror folding. Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold and Controls > Auto-Fold Set at This Location Examine both locations. Check your manual. Search for "fold" or "auto-fold." Let us know what you find!

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    If your vehicle is using Ultrasonic Sensors (USS), you might have a faulty USS. Or it may be interacting poorly with the new version of the software. You might want to test your USS system by parking directly in front of a flat wall. Does the proximity display look uniform as it should? Here's...

    Change to location-based mirror auto unfold behavior?

    Hmmm. (It isn't working as designed.) If you suspect that it is working as designed, then that means that some Tesla software developer designed each feature to work correctly, and then intentionally designed the mirrors to randomly open and close when both features are activated. That doesn't...

    Change to location-based mirror auto unfold behavior?

    Agreed. The manual says (and it makes sense) that the mirrors should unfold when you're driving away (safety!). Because they don't, that's a defect to be repaired by Tesla. I hope they fix this for you! (My car does not exhibit this problem.) Still, the mirror problem I described is real and it...
