Please refer to post #64 by @jerome8283 and follow steps 1 - 3. My T2C is running the latest one dated Feb. 2023.

Any idea how much Hotspot data is used per month for Waze or Google Maps navigation? I want to know if I should switch to a different plan with AT&T.

Have you updated your device to the latest firmware?

I had ordered 19" wheel covers and other small items. Every time, it would take 3-4 weeks for items to be delivered.

I want to clarify some of the information I left out from the original post: 1. I don't speed 2. Rural roads mentioned were undivided highways with two lanes in each direction at 55 MPH. 3. I significantly lowered my speed when I encountered heavy fog conditions 4. I believe that only...

It is a marketing scheme to sell Enhanced AP for $6K which I am not going to pay for.

Keeping hands on the steering wheel and continuously applying light force becomes tiring after a while. I would prefer something similar to Ford's approach that tracks your eyesight using an onboard camera. The other issue is off-ramps and on-ramps. When I approach an off-ramp, the car takes a...

I had not seen some of my classmates for nearly 48 years, and when an opportunity presented itself, I dashed over there for an afternoon full of tales coupled with food and drinks. Stopped in four SuperCharger locations: Kettleman, San Jose (Capital Express), Gustime, and Bakersfield - no...

On my iPhone, I created two shortcuts for each garage door using the free LiveKey app. Now, all I have to do is to say what door I want to open or close.

I got my loan approved via Tesla with Wells Fargo the same day I picked up the car. The Sales/Delivery Rep informed us that they had a car matching my order on the lot and asked if we wanted it. We said, "Yes, but we don't have the loan pre-approved". He said it was not an issue and called back...

Upon retirement, I decided to be frugal and not overspend on frivolous items: I use Waze, ABRP, or Google Maps for route planning and traffic visualization on my iPhone Stream audio over Bluetooth or play FLAC music from a USB stick. I have a data plan with AT&T that allows using the hotspot...

I feel for you. I am not sure what the tech can do at any SC since PB issues should be dealt with at the corporate level.

If $/Whr is reasonable on Level 2 chargers, I would take that option anytime over DC to preserve battery life and free up some of my own time.

If you are not in the rush, I would postpone delivery and wait for Tesla to start making vehicles with Hi-Res, wider FOV Cameras, and Hi-Res Radar, and the code to take advantage of new capabilities. Also, I would wait for user feedback before committing to purchase.

It seems that Tesla will be re-introducing Radar, albeit a much higher resolution one than before, coupled with hi-res 2 front cameras. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/tesla-hw4-to-reduce-forward-facing-cameras-to-2-and-add-fan-b-pillar-camera-to-get-new-heating-device/

I agree about the camera setup. The key statement, IMHO, is at 6:21 into the presentation.

Phantom Braking will not go away as long as Tesla utilizes Tesla Vision as the only passive sensor of information. The inclusion of active sensors such as Radar or Lidar will mitigate the problem that Tesla Vision can't deal with on its own. Sorry for the bad news folks.

Shouldn't this thread, with lots of useful data points, be featured in the Road Trips subforum?

Sorry to hear about your dog. Other than that, very impressive efficiency given the number of miles and weather conditions. Keep 'em coming.

That is the exact technique I am using to get her in and out. I am a big guy also, but when I hit retirement age, it became a hassle.

I have a similar issue with one of my family members. The car seats are too high for a slide board and the lack of grab handles makes the problem even worse. I resort to using all my strength to lift this person from the wheelchair onto the seat and back. If anyone can find a reasonable solution...

I posted my first video of the trip. My video production skills require some time to get up to speed, but I wanted to share the video of my first trip in EV with you for comments. P.S. Moderators, please delete my previous post.

How would you feel if someone parked their car in your driveway, and connected their car to your wall charger without your consent?

Distinction between watts and watt-hours[edit] The terms power and energy are closely related but distinct physical quantities. Power is the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and hence is measured in units (e.g. watts) that represent energy per unit time. For example, when a light...

I am planning an extended trip from LA to Barstow, CA, Nashville, Memphis TN, Washington DC, Philadelphia PA, New York City, and Niagara Falls, ON. The return trip would consist of Cleveland OH, Chicago IL, St. Louis MO, Denver CO, Las Vegas NV, and LA. I don't have any issues with planning and...

Nice videos, how was your return trip on I-40? Any recommendations? I've made several round trips on I-10 and I-80, but never I-40.

Pretty good efficiency and off-peak rates = affordable travel costs.

The superchargers in Canada are set for time-based billing, not like in the US which are based on kWh.

Hi, I can't locate this item on the Costco website. Did you save the link? TIA

I ordered these. It took a month to get them. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804371780034.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.187518021ZttNO&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US

I don't recall exactly the place, but it was not too far from WA/OR border. Yes, I did use the energy graph to control my speed based on desired SoC upon arrival at the next SuperCharger.

I didn't pay too much attention to gas prices along the way. I did not notice prices above $6.50US per gallon anywhere, but my point was that there is not a significant cost difference between BEV and ICE as I had expected. I am still enjoying my Tesla Model Y regardless.

I am not sure I understand your statement correctly, but I have never been late on my payments. Yet, I have experienced several PB events which made my rides less than pleasant. A hi-res radar coupled with a Vision system would probably prevent 99% of PB events in the future, IMHO.

You are right that the glovebox drive can be partitioned for DashCam and Music, or connect two separate USB devices via USN Hub. And, I totally forgot to mention the USB Controller issue. I wanted to separate data traffic to/from MCU via two USB data channels rather than just the one in the...

When I wrote essential, I meant to me. I don't speak for others since there is no way to tell what is essential and what is not to each owner. You may have a different perspective. I just completed a 3K Mile trip, as the only driver, and having over 20GB worth of music in FLAC format was essential!

First, Tesla removed data capability in the center console, citing a lack of chips, but one can still buy an after-market module to connect to the data cable from MCU. Now, they removed the data cable itself forcing owners to go through additional hoops to restore essential functionality.

You will likely encounter places with a lot of snow, especially at the higher elevations. Certain sections of the parks, if not all, you mentioned could be closed or not accessible. Personally, I would defer the trip to Fall or Spring time.

Mine, second from the left, plus three unknown friends.

A rare site - Corning, CA

We only had 10 days in total at our disposal. My wife has never been anywhere north of San Francisco and we had 5 days/ 4 nights with friends from Alberta at Penticton BC. The only free charging sessions we received were at the Days Inn motel in Penticton BC. Other ones, including Holiday Inn...

I used the trip planner plus ABRP. The Tesla NAV did not state which Supercharger was down, but it did inform me that I don't have sufficient battery charge to continue my trip. As far as the friendly competition is concerned, I will consult with my significant other regarding our future travel...

Yes, just finished my trip. I posted an initial thread in this forum. We had a great time.

I truly had a lot of fun driving my one-month-old 2022 Model Y LR. The pros: Comfort, Cost, No ICE vehicles blocking charging stalls. The cons: A non-working supercharger forced a 100-mile detour without feedback from Tesla NAV. - Had to pull over to search for available superchargers, A...

Great summary of your road trip. I would recommend it to anyone planning a first trip in EV. Thank you, I really enjoyed it.

I am interested in this data recovery module/hub. Has anyone tried it?

I did not ask him to do the windshield. He used XPEL XR on all windows and rear - happy with the result.

Hi, I have been checking this thread for the final part of this trip. I decided to drive from Los Angeles, CA to Vancouver, BC to Los Angeles in mid-July.

Thanks for the detailed write-up. Would like to see how many kWhs are charged at each location.

Does it work for Dashcam and Sentry?
