    Sentry Mode / Consider me fairly upset new M3 owner

    Only advice is to maybe give VLC a try. I've used it a few times in the past to view video files that other media apps would fail on.

    Vendor Teslogic — Mobile Instrument Cluster for Tesla Model 3/Y

    Could you elaborate on this a bit? Does this mean that with the module installed we'd completely lose the ability to adjust follow distance using the scroll wheel (or maybe only if there's an active connection to a device with Teslogic running)? Does that also mean this device is not purely...

    2022.20.6 Cabin Camera and Autopilot Nags

    Interesting, thanks I hadn't seen that. You're talking about regular AP, right, not with FSD beta engaged where that's been the case for a long time? The cabin camera release notes look the same to me as they've looked since that was introduced, but I'm assuming from your comment it's now a...

    2022.20.6 Cabin Camera and Autopilot Nags

    AP works fine with the camera covered. Is there any model year / configuration where that's not the case? You get wheel torque nags regardless. Those are the only mandatory, non-defeatable nag (unless you count wheel weights or something). You just don't *also* get nagged for looking out the...

    2022.20.6 Cabin Camera and Autopilot Nags

    Get one of the sliding webcam covers from Amazon for a couple bucks. I'm not particularly paranoid about it, but I can cover the interior camera whenever I want and the texture of the one I got actually matches perfectly with the camera / rearview mirror housing. Not the best picture, but you...

    Supercharger - Shenandoah, TX

    I'm going to swing by and see if I can snap a pic of @STDRDC13 camped out in a tent with binoculars monitoring the situation as it unfolds real-time :) Appreciate the updates!

    Vendor Teslogic — Mobile Instrument Cluster for Tesla Model 3/Y

    I believe the chassis bus is available there under the passenger seat. Assume that's where they're getting some of the UI data (blinkers, autopilot stuff, etc).

    Service says $22k for new battery on 2012 Model S

    I'm not an expert, but I thought nominal voltage is usually measured somewhere around 50% SOC with individual cells at ~3.7v. A nominal 350v pack in a Model 3, for example, has a pack voltage around 400v near the max state of charge.

    Service says $22k for new battery on 2012 Model S

    That's interesting. 91% SOC, avg cell voltage 4.137, and a pack voltage of 347? That doesn't really sound like a 350v nominal pack does it? Shouldn't it be more like 400v at that SOC?

    Any Hardcore Car Enthusiast Out Here? I Have Questions About Going to Model 3

    I want to believe, but I can't see any possibility that a front lip and a rear deck spoiler is changing aero efficiency by 10% at highway speeds. Edit - great forum thread, by the way. Although now I'm (again) considering coilovers, ingenext ghost module, and buying another S2000, lol. Time to...

    Supercharger - College Station, TX - Texas Avenue South

    Not sure if this has been discussed somewhere, but Supercharge.info now shows an updated location at an HEB at 1900 Texas Ave S, College Station, TX 77840. I guess maybe @MarcoRP isn't active here anymore, but the 'discuss' link at Supercharge.info just links to this tweet: I couldn't find...

    Auto-launching Tesla app on Android

    It may be a combination of your device's Android version and the API level targeted by the installed app version. If I recall correctly, there were changes regarding starting services for apps not running in the foreground when targeting Android 12 and above - but I haven't tracked this stuff...

    Safelite Repair & FSD Beta

    That's what I had assumed as well, but doesn't actually appear to be the case. The service manual shows a procedure involving a target, toolbox 3, and an adjustment process to ensure the front camera pitch is correct after windshield replacement.

    Charge Amperage Dropping in the middle of the charge, 32 --> 16 Amp

    Also worth checking the error log in your car for 'charge rate reduced due to temperature at outlet.' The car will also drop from 32 to 16 amps when high temperatures are detected (due to loose connections within the outlet, etc) using the UMC on an outlet. It's possible the plug/outlet had...

    Control Arm backorder

    I guess I got lucky recently. My front passenger control arm squeak came back a few weeks ago after being replaced ~2 years ago under warranty. I scheduled an appointment for about 5 days out. Tesla replaced both sides for only the cost of parts (less than $200). I guess they must have had...

    Time to replace upper-control arm ball joints

    My front passenger control arm started squeaking again after being replaced ~2 years ago. I'm out of warranty so was contemplating just greasing it up but made a service appointment anyway. Incredibly pleasantly surprised. They replaced both sides for only the cost of parts and completed the...

    NW Houston Service Center - 14520 Wagg Way

    Anybody have any experience here yet? I was just scheduling service yesterday and noticed this location is now an option. It's slightly further away from me than Houston North, but I considered scheduling here just to check it out :)

    Charging with "excess solar energy" (without Powerwall)

    Regarding this part specifically, it's because grid maintenance costs are largely fixed, not usage dependent, but the tariffs are written in a way that assumes typical home usage without solar. That's the whole point that supporters of NEM3 are making. Solar owners bypass a lot of the usage...

    Charging with "excess solar energy" (without Powerwall)

    I've seen a couple threads where people were using the Tesla API to adjust amperage up/down in coordination with a home energy monitor (Sense, or similar). I think these two were the ones I'd browsed through before, and I think both had code available on GitHub...

    It would seem your effort to obfuscate the license plate failed, especially with your confirmation of the plate number :) All in good fun.

    FSD Beta 10.12

    It's in addition to the wheel torque, so you gain nothing other than additional annoyance. You can cover the camera when using refular AP though (FSD beta won't let you).

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I stay fairly in tune with this subject (and thanks to @AAKEE and others for the empirical data!), but question for the group... This might be lost in the mysteries of the BMS, but do we have any idea whether we get good OCV reads if we plug in immediately when arriving at home but charging is...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    You may already know this, but it's dependent on state regulation. Some states only allow utility companies to bill by kWh. In those cases Tesla is forced to charge by unit of time. In practice it does work out to be quite close as already mentioned.

    220 NEMA Adapter vs. Tesla Wall Unit - Thoughts? Just ordered a Model Y Performance for delivery July-August

    I wouldn't waste your time. roblab posts the same thing ad nauseum all across the forum while ignoring the myriad reasons presented about potential benefits and the minimal price differences in the recent environment. I use a 14-50 too, but if I was doing it today I'd absolutely go wall...

    Umc defaulting to 16a

    Probably an imprecise GPS location causing your car to think it's not at the saved location. I'm guessing your plugging into a 5-20 with the appropriate UMC adapter and your concerned about other loads on that circuit? If your lowering to 10amps anyway, is there another circuit you could plug...

    Best Financing for FSD Post-Purchase

    New Navigation Map (NA-2021.44-13555)

    Seems like TeslaFi recently added some basic navigation data tracking. Not the full suite of reporting like they have for vehicle firmware, but hopefully that's where they're heading. They added this nice graph tracking firmware too. Love seeing new features continuing to be developed.

    I rarely comment in this section since it's 99.9% rehashing the same arguments and kind of ridiculous, but 'typically skilled human driver' literally equals 'average human driver.' A driver with the typical skill level. An average driver. And with that, I'm out. Everyone enjoy the semantics...
