1. Could be that your USB Drive doesn't write fast enough. Checkout the USB Flash Drive Requirements in the Owners Manual.

Be sure to do another test drive of the 2022 Plaid Model S and X as there have been significant changes. Most notably, they both now come with a Yoke instead of a Steering Wheel, and all controls have been removed from the stalk.

Not exactly sure what "Spotify Premuim" is. We have a Family plan that allows up to 6 people. I use my Spotify account on my phone, computer, and in my 2020 MS LR+. Never had any problem, but maybe it's different in the US? Supposedly (we haven't tried it yet), a recent software update allows...

Safety Score is required to get accepted to the FSB beta, so you'll need to cancel your request.

Another reason to use the Navigation (that I've learned the hard way) is that it may have been able to re-route around the gridlock traffic.

Only 100D, there is nothing higher.

It's a nice gesture, but it doesn't release you from any liability. I'm just getting started with FSDb, so if someone is behind me close enough to read a bumper sticker and I am on anything except a straight flat road, I disengage.

I got 2022.12.3.20 on Saturday. I could barely keep a score of 90 in the high density area where I live (SoCal near the coast). Then my wife's car went in the shop for a couple weeks so she had to drive the Tesla, and my score went up to 93. LOL! Now I just need to find some time to try out...

...if your car has a carburetor, but gas cars with fuel injectors should not be driven with less than 25% of a tank (because burning the crap sitting on the bottom of your tank clogs it up).

If you have an idea of which object FSD is braking to avoid, I find that it also helps to steer away from it (as much as you can while still keeping in your lane).

Maybe some "flatstoppers" to help prevent flat spots: https://evannex.com/collections/tesla-model-s-accessories/products/flatstoppers-for-all-evs-set-of-four If you decide to leave on AC, 85F is probably cool enough.

I have a September 2020 Model S and don't have that problem. Maybe it's (at least partially) related to the environment where you live. I live in San Diego and car is mostly parked in a garage.

Sorry if this is too obvious, but make sure that the vents you are expecting air to come out of are selected. I mention this because several times I have cranked up the AC but nothing is blowing out of the dash vents. After going to settings, either the floor vents or the windshield vents are...

Huh? I'm talking about the Seat Heater, not the air heating controls. Also, I'm talking about moving the Right Seat Heater icon from the pop up window to my Favorites bar, not trying to turn on the heater. FWIW, I tried sitting in the passenger seat, but it still didn't show up

I just got the upgrade for 2022.12.3.1. I now have room for 5 apps in the Favorites bar (on 2020 MS vertical screen). Nice, even though it looks like 6 would fit. Front Defroster: Check. Rear Defroster: Check. Left Seat Heater: Check. Right Seat Heater: Missing! What? I guess I'll be waiting...

What version of software do you have? I don't have the latest version yet, but PB is significantly better in 2022.12 for some people: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/phantom-braking-fixed.264916/#post-6647738

According to owner's manual the "sensors are activated when driving slower than 5 mph (8 km/h)", so not sure if that's the difference. 🤷‍♂️

The Park Assist feature should beep as you slowly approach curbs and parking stops.

They are to improve range. I keep mine off around town (~95% of the time) and only put them on for long distance road trips. I had a NEMA 14-50 installed. Luckily they could put it next to sub-panel, so it was only $400 even with "Tesla Premium" pricing. Works great!

I love the look of the Macan. If I had to buy a new EV today, the first thing I'd look at is a Model Y with plans of bigger tires and a lift kit :)

All I see now are long wait lists, dealer markups, and prototypes. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it :)

It all depends out your priorities. My Raven is a 2020 MS LR+. I prefer the main screen embedded in the dash. The only benefit for a horizontal screen is for when you're not driving, so that's not an issue for me. I love having a steering *wheel* and controls on the stalk. I don't need any more...

I can't think of any measurable wear and tear this would cause, and the benefit of Sentry Mode should easily outweigh any concern. Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm curious -- what airport provides an outlet to plug into in their parking lot?

My 2020 MS LR+ range was spec'ed at 402

Are you signed up for Safety Score in hopes of getting into the FSD Beta? If so, it logs all of your daily details, so that's another place to check.

It's smart to be wary about what you download from app stores. But most apps are safe. As a software developer, I would love to be able to write apps to fix some of the annoyances I have. I may even share them with others via an app store.

The car will have the same drain with or without solar panels, so that is not relevant.

Good for you if you have a Discount Tire that does that. For everyone else: they don't all do it.

Both front and rear license plate frames should be standard in California. Mine had both on delivery in Sept. 2020.

Only if you purchased the tires from them.

There's no reason to use prior owner's account. Accounts are quick and easy to setup. Ownership that cannot be transferred is a major red flag. I wonder if it's a Salvage?

That sounds like a scam. Make sure that "seller" owns the car. There have been people who have rented Teslas then try to sell them!

I absolutely love 1 pedal driving! My understanding is that the car does programmatically apply the brakes a small amount to get the car to a complete stop.

I don't know what your situation is, but I would consider dropping your car off and letting them have it for a few days. That way, they wouldn't be concerned with resolving issue by the end of the day (because you're waiting in lobby) and could (hopefully) do a deeper analysis.

Has anyone actually used the most recent app button? I can't see how I would ever use it, so would like to trade it in for an additional favorite.

Did you read the article? The author's own summary seems to be the opposite of your "completely the wrong approach" summary: "Overall, it’s my opinion that despite these hiccups, the new v11 UI provides substantial benefits, both to the development team and to the many new drivers going through...

Here's another list I bookmarked: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v4m7aHk__KdfkoedDsiChxilbTvSg9AkV3J1quU0iRo/edit#gid=0

Did you rotate the tires after 6k miles as recommended?

I live near the coast in San Diego and defroster would be in my Top 4 favorites if it were available.

To me, the simplest solution which keeps software moving forward is to add all of the features mentioned in this thread (seat heaters, defroster, steering wheel heater, etc.) as options to be added to favorite features. Then everyone can decide for themself which are the most important. Would...

Fair enough. But, taking a car back and reselling has a real cost to it, so I would think they give you a reasonable offer (~45k?) to make their own life easier.

If there's no option to buy it at the end of the lease, what's Tesla going to do with it?

The issue with the seat heaters and window defog/defrost buttons is that these buttons not only control those features, they also serve as state indicators (e.g. off vs low vs medium vs high) similar to physical controls. This is nice because you can do a quick glance to see if they're on or...

I'm in the same boat. Does anyone know why 2021+ was the cutoff for Model S? I'm guessing it was a hardware change.

That's helpful. Are there any voice commands to determine state? Something like "what is drivers seat heater position?".

The problem with removing the seat heater and window defog/defrost buttons from the primary screen is that these buttons (and maybe others?) serve 2 purposes: 1. Control the feature 2. Indicate state of feature (e.g. on vs off, low vs medium vs high, defog vs defrost) similar to physical...

Awesome that it has unlimited supercharging. I bought my 2020 Model S LR+ in September 2020 and that was no longer offered.

I have a 2020 MS LR+ (not Performance) and I'm glad I bought when I did. Sure, the 2022 is faster, but it also costs more. The 2020 is plenty fast for me. I haven't driven a 2021, but I don't think I'd like the yoke. This is a daily driver for me, not a track car. I think the worst part is...

That's probably the same issue that many of us are having. See this post: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/usb-device-malfunction.215075/

For the Software Update Preference setting, does anyone know how much sooner you should expect to get Updates between Standard and Advanced preferences?
