    Best reliable SSD for Sentry on Model Y

    That's mildly incorrect. The Samsung Pro Endurance series of SD cards are designed for continuous read/write cycles for videos. Operating specs are the same as the Samsung Bar Plus. Make the choice based on cost and if you want to have an extra port available. I'm using the SD card in a tiny...

    Is there any solution to the poor inductive phone charger behavior in Model Y?

    Does anyone have a diagram of where the coils are actually located in the charging pad area? That might help gauge where we should be trying to place the phones.

    Charging Port door closes immediately after opening

    That's the default estimate so they can be ready to do it, but from the firmware update they pushed to me - seems most likely a software issue between the door open sensor and the car.

    Charging Port door closes immediately after opening

    Had this issue pop up today so I made a service request. Had tried the manual pull method, and it did not work. Mobile service messaged me within about an hour and pushed a firmware update to my car (2024.2.7), which is the same version that my car was already on. But somehow it worked. Car...

    My iPhone audio

    Or you do a pull down from the top right corner of the screen (from home page) and select your iPhone as the audio output instead of the car.

    Wireless charging question

    Using the LaterCase aramid case for my iPhone 15 Pro along with the ESR MagSafe attachment. The car does a great job of heating my phone up to boiling while adding minimal amounts of power. I don't count on the wireless being able to add charge quickly, use the center console USB-C ports when I...

    question on Scheduled Departure charging

    The below settings work for me if I want my car to get up to 100% right before I leave. I have Schedule Charging set to off as well.

    Preconditioning schedule

    If you have an iPhone (can probably do it with Android too) you can use the Shortcuts app to create an automation. I've got mine set to the following:

    Is it possible to enable Sentry mode for pre-defined hours?

    Really? I notice a pretty big difference in lvl1 charging speed when Sentry is on vs off. 10% would take roughly less than 10hrs with Sentry off, but go 10hrs+ with Sentry on.

    Is it possible to enable Sentry mode for pre-defined hours?

    If you have an iPhone you can set up automations in the Shortcuts app to run at the specified times. I just tried it out and made the 2 below:

    Autosteering chooses curve speed like a racedriver, is that expected?

    The behavior you want is part of FSD, not the basic Autosteer functions. Autosteer is not meant to be used for onramps and the like.

    Looking for ideal USB drive that does not stick out

    Do you have a USB port in the glove box? If so, could just use that one instead and not have any impingement issues.

    MYLR snow performance

    Slowly and carefully :) But seriously, rear is the recommended if you only have 2 socks, but you could always put some on the front if you want.

    MYLR snow performance

    Rear. The rear wheels are the primary drive wheels on the Y, fronts only engage for more power/accel or if loss of traction in the back is detected. Rear is also the regen wheels too.

    Yet another 2023 Model Y road-trip experience

    Nice write up. Some thoughts/comments: - You went up to 90% for your first charging stop, charging slows drastically once SOC goes above 60-70%, might want to consider running 10-60% for road trips in the future as it might save time overall. - AP disabled for remainder of drive, if you put it...
