NEVER try and revive one of the Tesla 12 V Lithium batteries. They are one and done:

I believe one of them was the door window closing recall update. Went away like all the others.

Downloading some updates over LTE is not new. In the 2.5 years I was abstaining from updates I would get about 4 a year downloaded that way. At least back then the install prompt popups would go away after about 2 weeks of ignoring them. Annoying yes, but not as annoying as being forced to use...

Indeed. The car will not draw more current than the charger communicates it can supply (assuming it is set up correctly for the circuit it is on). Just plug in and charge.

The Model 3/Y have never had an instantaneous Wh/mile readout. Thankfully the cards were brought back a little over a year ago to at least bring back the Wh/mile for the current drive display.

Even with no wifi you will still get updates over LTE, Just a lot less of them (only the 'greatest hits' in Tesla's eyes). While I was abstaining from updates, my car would still get about 4 updates a year downloaded and ready to install over LTE (I had wifi off during that time). I just ignored...

It was just one install.

I opted out of updates for close to 2.5 years in my Model 3 and absolutely nothing bad happened. And I managed to skip the worst of the Holiday Update UI regressions (both 2020 and 2021). Supercharging continued to work. Only started updates again once there were features actually added that I...

The sales ratio of 3/Y will be an interesting metric to watch, as we will have data from Y and 3 stalked, and Y stalked 3 no stalks. This will probably give a more clear picture on any impact than the absolute numbers.

Just an FYI, this will do nothing to improve efficiency (at least between hold and roll). The amount of energy you can recapture between 5 and 0 mph is a rounding error.

Yep, just another thing removed. I knew they did this for the refreshed Model 3, did not know they were inflicting it on the Y as well. I don't know if the S3XY buttons can bring this back like they can for the regen level control.

Ford barely has a fan base? What rock are you living under?

This was posted by a member of our local State College Tesla Facebook group. He gave me permission to repost here (photos are his). He reports 12 stalls, Sheetz in Montgomery, PA (5676 US-15, Montgomery, PA 17752).

The S3XY buttons appear to give you half-steps between the normal manual wiper settings, but I have not personally used them. It appears to give you a setting below the lowest Tesla setting as well, at least according to this page...

Very nice! Will use this a lot probably!
