You may well be right. I wasn’t there — on the other end of the phone call. The first time around, tried a number of things, turning off the phone, getting out of the car to lock, unlock, get back in, and so on. When she was getting frustrated, I found this thread, and had her try that, and...

My wife went to the store again, and again called me, “The car won’t go." I asked her to perform (AGAIN) the dual scroll wheel “reboot”, and she made it home. Trying to avoid that definition of insanity where one repeats the same actions, expecting different results - this morning, in the...

Everyone has a boss. Allowing abetting this behavior (any bad behavior) by accommodating it, begs it to continue. I have elevated this to California — will see where it lands, or I have to tuck my tail between my legs . . .

Ah yes, well practiced at checking online - and that is what prompted my action.

Purchased a used 2020 Model 3 from Tesla Vienna (delivery center Tysons Corner). The temp tags expire the day after tomorrow. I called DMV to see what is going on, and they said they have no record of a title submission. I contacted Tesla via email with the report from DMV, requesting updated...

Funny how we sometimes miss things until it happens to us. This afternoon, my wife called frantic, after having returned to the car from shopping, and she said, “The car won’t go.” Phone only - she could open the door - lock and unlock - no response to the stalk. I quickly looked here, saw...

On a spur, my wife and I decided to visit a local ice cream establishment, located in a small strip mall. There were a fair number of cars in the parking lot, and I pulled up to an area with about four empty slots, intending to back in. The Tesla posted a blue box “PARK” (I forget the exact...

Turns out, my daughter figured it out. Just use the app on the phone, and whatever language is on the phone can be entered in the “Name your “ and saved.

That is really helpful, thank you ! What about selecting accented letters, can that be done ? Such as ‘Bái’ ?

Tesla’s being sold around the world, I would expect there to be a straightforward way to invoke an alternate keyboard. How to, please ?

Update done. Vehicle is rebooting.

Well, went out for dinner, and as we backed into the driveway and put it in park, the software download started. 2023.44.30.5.1

Just checked. Tesla app was updated 09 December, and showing no updates available. And the “Software update” continues to spin, five hours now. Don’t know if it’s actually doing anything, or just stuck. The screen in the car doesn’t show any activity at the software control line.

The iPhone is set for auto updates, so I don’t check.

App says “Preparing to update” — terminal — just spins until it times out.

Yes, you’re right, and I updated. Sorry.

You are RIGHT — How do I delete this - edit ???

@Moderator PLEASE DELETE THIS ERRONEOUS THREAD

I just happened to be in the car just now, and saw the notice of software update 2023.44.1 would be updated at (clock roll) 0200 with the option to “Update Now” - which I did. The release notes say “minor updates” - I see a repeat of the single pull self driving, and a note about charging...

Still, we have to pay attention, as they influence other idiots. Get enough idiots moving in the same direction, and there can be trouble - another good book to read (easy) is Black Swan.

Problems ignored rarely self-resolve. Hold your friends close, and your enemies closer.

Simply stated, and BINGO !

As many others have pointed, no discussion at all of how safety is enhanced by self driving. In my neighborhood, with cars parked on both sides, I feel much safer with the car on autopilot and watch with fascination and satisfaction that the car does a much better job — not than I could...

Since the car does NOT have the dash cam, the question has turned to include, what cam or cams are favored by those is this situation ? Thank you.

Is there a consensus on better/best aftermarket dashcam to use ?

How does one know if one has dash cam ? The option is grayed out on my screen. Can it be added ? Also, the manual talks about a USB port in the glove box (or did i get than wrong ?) and in any case, I don’t see it, can’t find it. 2020 Model 3 AWD LR

New kid on the block - 2020 Model 3 AWD LR - in FSD Beta, what is the appropriate response or range of responses to the vibration bordering on buzzing of the wheel, typically in concert with the turn signal ?

Thank you for responding. Looks like that pad is hit or miss, and a first (for me) notice by Amazon “This is a frequently returned item” . . . gives pause.

This new to me 2020 - so clean inside - center console - I see the forward most part opens from the back and up behind the display, revealing an inclined “platform” that would appear to hold a phone. Looking at the underside, it would appear to have been molded to accept a couple of charging...

The 2020 M3 I just purchased already has this limitation. I have already received the shrill warning and alerting message on the display and the car braking - something to the effect “Autopilot has been turned off for failure to have your hands on the wheel. If this happens four more times...

@moderator PLEASE DELETE

Done. Thank you.

BINGO !

@swedge Impressive analysis, laying bare the (frequent) bias present here, and many topics. May I plagiarize your text and post in their comment section ?

Finally, met my ability to afford this wonderful tech - being alive at this point in history where the resources permit just enough of the essential components - lucky to be alive. This is delivery at Tesla Tyson’s Corner Running an errand, as this is now our daily driver.

It would seem that there is a kind of restriction in place that I did not see acknowledged in the article, and that is, in FSD having one’s hands off the wheel, there is warning tone, and then a more shrill tone saying that FSD has been turn off for failure to maintain control or something to...

Ayep. Keep your friends close, and your enemy closer.

BEAUTIFUL write-up ! @Tronguy Yes, at the time (and still) had departure set for 0715. At the time of exploring the app, it was around noon. Here, the regulatory-set rate period is Winter [six months 01 October - 31 May] during which PEAK is established as dual 0700-1100 and again 1700-2100...

“always” is an absolute, and wasn’t the case for me - or I would not have asked. I notice that there are a number of items in the software that have limited presentation — obvious design requirement for UI, lest the display become cluttered and unusable. For example, my lovely spouse sat in...

Good for you. As we used to say in the military, it’s impossible to make a device (or in this case, an app) that is foolproof, because fools are so ingenious." I must be one of those this time. Thank you.

The Chevy BOLT has heated steering wheels on every car, and they say it is much preferable to use the heated steering wheel and heated seats over cabin heat from an overall energy perspective. I found it curious that my 2020 Model 3 did not. Perhaps the difference is the engineers for BOLT...

There are instances when the “start charging” button are not present, which prompted this question. I’ll have to pay closer attention for when it is and isn’t there. Maybe, if I get distracted or something, at that option disappears, I’ll have to unplug, and plug back in.

Fundamentally, we’re dealing with RF, and SiriusXM - the merger of two satellite based streaming services, like Starlink et. al., are driven to certain frequencies to achieve practical data rates, and the energies involved are so low, the tiny antennas in cell phones are impractical to receive...

I’m in a similar boat as the OP. I just purchased a 2020 - how to know what hardware is installed ?

Are you responding to me ? Our 40A charger is on a 50A circuit. Thank you.

Ah, that was the question. How, pray tell ?

Another nube question: is there a way with this system, to tell the car, “Despite everything else I said, I have power now, I want you to charge NOW” ? Thank you.

Question: is there any advantage to the $450 Tesla charger over an existing, working, J-1772 40A charger with the adapter ?
