Hope you feel better soon.

Agreed, it's inexcusable that COVID patients here in the US are sent home to isolate until they deteriorate to the point where they require hospitalization. The "I" drug is a very touchy subject, so I will refrain from commenting on that other than to say that India generated a lot of lessons...

I'm going to leave this here as an anecdote. I just learned that several family members in India have all tested positive for covid. Most are vaccinated with either Covaxin (inactivated whole virus) or Covishield (AstraZeneca adenovirus vector). One is almost 90 with several comorbidities and...

I posted how to get into service mode in another thread yesterday, but it was removed by the moderator. There are videos on Youtube showing the process (very quick).

If a gateway configuration change is required, you shouldn't need to have a technician recode the vehicle every time there's a new software update. The challenge will be to convince the tech to actually make the configuration change as Mrbrock mentioned. On VWs this is very easy using a tool...

Try having your existing software reinstalled (can be done remotely). When the service center replaces electrical components, they generally reinstall the software after completing the work. Your other option is to drive close to a service center, put the vehicle in service mode, and start the...

I've placed my car in service mode before while near a service center. The default speed limit setting is 7mph, but you can toggle this off, which will "remove speed, torque, and creep mode safety settings." Also, as you know the phone app is disabled while in service mode and can't be enabled...

The car does have a low tire pressure warning. I've gotten it in the past when I had a slow leak in one of my tires.

In your case, it looks like the A/C compressor itself is setting the fault. I hope they actually probe the wiring harness to ensure that the controller is sending the right signal and that power is getting to the compressor before just throwing a new compressor in. I'm actually dealing with a...

Have you been delinquent on taking your medication recently? I really hope that this isn't a serious question.

I've gotten similar sounds out of my 2018 M3 in the same area (rear, underneath vehicle) especially when charging at home after a cold soak. You can always drive close to your nearest service center, put the vehicle into Service Mode, and see if there are any alerts present.

As someone who has FSD Beta, I think Birds Eye view is very doable and likely to show up in an update soon. I'm still amazed at how detailed the visualization around the car is when sitting in traffic. Between the curb/object prediction, ultrasonic sensors, and the same 4 views that are now...

That looks like the sway bar and that doesn't look like mud; more like corrosion from the powder coating getting chipped off and exposing the bare steel. The oily front aero shield could also be caused by a leaking axle seal, drive unit oil filter leak, and/or drive unit oil pump leak. This...

Yup, our road markings and design in general are just downright sh!t. I'm not surprised that the Beta is struggling out in central MA or on the north shore. I'm hoping that enough folks in the northeast have been submitting clips/disengaging that Tesla will start to update the NNs within the...

Us FSD Beta testers will likely get it as part of the 10.4 build that should roll out in about a week. I doubt that they would push an intermediate firmware build with Beta 10.3 + the Sentry live view feature.
