I had this happen last night. I am on 28.1 and latest beta of IOS and Mac OS betas though I doubt if that had anything to do with it. I have attached a PDF file with the information from TeslaFi. Here are images as well.

I know that the NASA METCAL program understands what it is as I have worked with them in the past. However, the term is often loosely thrown around by lay people that don't know what it means. Most lay people think it means adjusting something so it matches a reference value. That is not what...

That's the one I ordered.

Do you know what calibration even means?

Anything new in 28.2? Seems awful close to 28.1, I wonder if they found some bug in 28.1 that needed an update with a fix.

About a month ago at Tesla SC, the SA told me that 26 would have the initial Bluetooth echo fix but the more permanent and final fix would be in 28. I'm curious to know if anyone with 28 has noticed this fix?

I'm looking for the code for a radio flyer. I will swap for a Tesla Model S/X high power mobile connector set in carrying bag and like new condition $520 on Tesla web site. Model S/X Corded Mobile Connector but Gen 1 version with multiple adapters (40A). Never used.

Here is our friends 5,000 acre ranch restored to its appearance in 1860.

Here are two pictures I took of Mt Rushmore. One in late afternoon and the other after the lighting ceremony.

I think we all keep waiting for the ability to add waypoints. By the way is the web site a betterrouzteplanner.com working for anyone? I keep getting no route found and on the road it didn't show my saved routes even though I was logging in. It seems to be broken now.

I think the navigation system needs an option to avoid secondary roads unless they are the only way to get to a particular destination (usually the final leg of the destination only) or to display alternate routes and let one select the route.

I used an old tooth brush and that worked just fine.

Those were places I stopped for the night, most but not all were SC locations too but I charged at other locations as well. I have iPhone Xs (Wife and I) and we are on Verizon. I have read that Tesla uses AT&T and that appeared to be confirmed on road trip as well as at my house. At my house...

I just looked and the black dams are up and covered with bugs. I assume the radiator behind is also covered with bugs. I am going out of town today in my other electric car (A Bolt) so I can't take the time to clean the radiator today but I will check it tomorrow and update with my findings...

I have seen it, many years ago. :) Now have you seen the bugs in these areas. It was a constant battle to keep the windshield and front clear of bugs...lots and lots of bugs. We have so few in CA. Lots of nuts and fruits though! :)

A few things I forgot to mention, I saw very few Teslas on this trip, the most were in the Denver area. I was surprised that there would only be no one at the Super Chargers or only 1 or occasionally 2. St George Utah and Baker, CA had the most at 2. The Tesla owners I encountered and got to...

Road trip from Riverside, CA to Mount Rushmore, SD and Back in a Model 3 First a few basic facts: 1. Round trip Mileage: 3,409 2. Average WH/mile: 249 3. Firmware VER: 2018.24.1 4. Route with Stops: a. Riverside, CA to St. George, UT b. To Grand Junction, CO c. To Vail...

Yes, I do understand the difference. However using predictive math models is the same methodology with a different hypothesis and set of variables. The simple facts as stated by tomomason: So lets build a computer program to predict weather/climate. Do we know all the weather/climate...

assymetry, I have no idea where you got the idea that I was fired. I retired at 72 a few years ago. rob lab, our lab held various DoD national standards for NIST and developed numerous NIST standards. I never saw any instruments calibrated daily. Do you know what calibration is? We had...

I am aware of that; however, compare that to other major roll outs.

I'll put it to you very simply. It comes down to the ability to conduct accurate measurements. This requires calibrated instruments. These instruments must have their calibration traceable too NIST. This means that the standard used to perform the calibration measurement must be minimally 4...

Like many, you fail to understand the science of measurement (Metrology). Every measurement has components of error. How the measuring instrument is calibrated (the reference standard used), the accuracy of the reference standard, the repeatability of the measurements, the external factors...

At the risk of upsetting many of you, I will say that Man Made Global Warming is at best a theory and more realistically a hypothesis without proof. I have worked on math modeling of real world phenomena over numerous years with other scientists and mathematicians. For a model to accurately...

It seems strange that the S & Xs are getting a lot of updates and the 3s get almost no updates. See the image from TeslaFi below.

Steel Wool #0000 fine will remove most crud that is on the window. It will feel smooth. Then I use Optimum No Rinse followed by a ceramic coating like Gyeon Cure (a top coating with excellent hydrophobic properties). My windows are streak free and water flies off.

I'm not sure who you are asking but if me I am on 2018.24.1

You would have been ok if you hadn't let that black cat cross in front of your car. Run it down next time...save your battery!

Let's see, out of 30,000+ vehicles sold you have less than 10 reports of 12V battery issues or 0.03%. Doesn't sound like so many to me.

They could easily add another camera to the front bumper.

It is supposed to be improved in 26.x and finally fixed in 28.x according to SA at SC.

1. The car can actually still be driven. The AC, interior lights, etc. are all computer controlled from the MCU. 2. You can open the Frunk by using a small 9V battery and a couple of wires by opening the tow hook cover and connecting to the leads that come to the cover.

Why Tesla refuses to add a feature its customers have repeatedly asked for is the big mystery to me. The self parking feature works so poorly it is virtually unusable and the location of the ultrasonic sensors it too high for detecting curbs that you can scrape your spoiler on or curbs to rub...

Here is a thread with pictures: Upper trunk plastic trim cover (“garnish”)

The VIN is just a guess as Tesla doesn't always follow logic in VIN numbers.

26.3 is rolling out now. 24.7 appears to have stopped. No 3s showing with the update yet. TeslaFi is showing 13 yesterday and 24 so far today.

I was told by SA at SC yesterday the 26 is due out anytime and improves on some of the issues with bluetooth but that 28 is the version that will actually fix bluetooth.

There were threads on this on Reddit, this site and the Tesla model 3 forum. The threads were about the changes made to the 3 since the earliest ones and included the seat changes, etc. I have attached an image of the invoice with the parts information.

I am a non-practicing lawyer so don't take this as legal advice. The problem as I see it is that as in any contract, unless you can allege a tort and prove it (such as fraud), you only have a breach of contract action. The ready for breach of contract is almost always money and you are limited...

I owned a late 2016 S 75D and then sold it to buy my 3 after driving a friends 3. There are things I prefer in the S that are hard to put into words but overall I prefer the 3. On the open highway, the S is definitely more comfortable and holds a line better with less effort. It is in my...

Does anyone here know what the contract for FSD says? If one is relying on the vehicle purchase contract, I believe it precludes class action suits and requires binding arbitration unless you specifically opted out of it via the process specified to opt out. I would not be surprised to find...

There is a trim piece that covers the area toward the back underside of the rear shelf. The black trim piece shown near the top of the photos. Cars started getting these around VIN 18000. There have been several other threads about this piece. It was not on earlier cars and made the shelf...

I had my car (3) in for a quick check before a long road trip and to have a few minor front fender adjustments. I had also ordered the plastic trunk trim piece. Just before I was getting ready to leave I asked the SA if he could tell me when I could expect the trim piece. He said he would go...

The problem with string inverter systems is you have multiple single points of failure. Each panel plus the inverter. With optimizers you still have a single point of failure at the inverter but not with the panels. With micro inverters you eliminate single points of failure. Depending on...

I use Optimum No Rinse (ONR) in a spray bottle and a micro fiber towel to wipe it. Cleans nicely, not shiny and haven't had any issues. ONR is a lubricant mild soap and you use distilled water with about an ounce of ONR. Very mild cleaning agent.

Not much of a roll out, 6 cars as of yesterday.

The echo is horrendous on V24, worse than on V21 by a lot. My wife says she can't understand what I am saying and intermittently it cuts her out completely too so I can't hear her at all. How this team manages to screw up old features with the release of new features is a mystery to me. It...

By the way, make sure it could not be entered by using the temporary password when the account is first created. Otherwise, an unscrupulous OA having that information might enter it before the user could.

I'm sure all S and X owners would chill out if tomorrow they heard there was an update that would let your Tesla drive a navigation route to the destination (even with driver's assist). :) P.S. I used to own an S and I wouldn't.

Last night when I looked it was out to 40 model 3s and over 1,000 S & Xs. Why so slow to 3s is a mystery. One area that Tesla really needs to improve is communications. A simple bulletin put out to Electrek and the EV publications or email to owners could say, "Software version 2018.24.1 is...

I don't think you calculated it correctly. The $16 is a charge independent of usage that you pay every month to be on the plan. Then you take your 250 KWh time the rate of $0.0937 to it would be $16 + $23.43 = $39.43. Effective price = $0.1577/KWh. Suppose you only used 100KWh. You monthly...
