    Wife can't start MY

    Well I'm sorry to say that it might be time for a new wife. Not sure how old your's is but you'll find that women born after about 1980 tend to be more technically savvy and less inclined to experience glitches like this. While switching to a newer a model may be more expensive in the short...

    Any clue how this part (clip and fastener) is used?

    They look like haunted houses from the new Scary Tesla Monopoly game. I think they'd sell for about $300 in the Lifestyle section of the Tesla website.

    Whistling Noise Above 40mph

    I have something similar. When I get above about 80mph, I hear a siren noise that seems to be coming from somewhere behind me. I've found that if press the accelerator fully to the floor for about 30 seconds it quickly fades and then disappears :)

    Ctrl-Bar - physical controls buttons for MY/M3

    To make the functions even easier to use, you should make a remote for the buttons...and then position it on the screen where it's easy to access!

    Ctrl-Bar - physical controls buttons for MY/M3

    Looks great! Future features should include buttons that will will pump car exhaust into the cabin, make unnecessary vibrations upon acceleration, leak oil on your driveway and take $50 out of your wallet every time you pass a gas station. We'll call it the 'good old days' package. ;)

    Tesla lost it way when it ditched Mobile Eye and real leather

    Same reasons I love my horse: real leather; hay is cheaper than both gas and electricity; fully customized (no two are exactly the same); better ride height (I can see even see over the roofs of some trucks!); built in off-road capabilities; four wheel leg drive for snow and mud; no scheduled...

    Tesla crash on M3 yesterday

    "Multiple driverless Tesla's crash simultaneously and close down the M3!"

    How would you handle this...

    You could create a sign that denounces him as a racist and yell and scream about how his behaviour makes you feel 'unsafe' and then take to Twitter to express your outrage. Or, if you are older than 30, you could just talk to him. That might work too.

    Model s buzzing sound

    I had a squeak coming from the same place and it turned out to be the blower motor that sits behind the bumper. A louder fan noise is not uncommon during supercharging but yours sounds like it needs attention.

    Tesla Semi video staged? [not staged]

    If you look closely enough, in the left mirror you can see where they faked the moon landing. In the right mirror you can see where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. Destination in the nav is 'Grassy Knoll, Dallas Tx'. Weird, but probably all just coincidences.

    A White powdery substance under car on the garage floor

    I think you've accidentally put your Y in Pablo Escobar Mode. Turn around. You're under arrest.

    Anyone know what this is?

    It's for US Thanksgiving I think. It's a picture of the Tesla logo under a pilgrim hat. There's a button you can push that will make the horn sound either like a turkey, or family members arguing about politics.

    Voice command for emergency flashers?

    New Voice Command: "Ask me to move my hand six inches to the right and press the glowing red triangle"

    MS map…

    I think it means that this portion of the map has now been verified by Twitter and you owe Elon another $8 per month. ;)

    Does Full Self-Driving mode affect range?

    When you hit a pedestrian and have to pull off to the side of the road to wait for the police, the vampire drain increases slightly. But other than that it shouldn't make a difference.

    Model S Creep Mode

    When I put my S into creep mode, it drives itself to the nearest high school, cranks the music and circles the block really slowly. I think I need to schedule service.

    Silent indicators

    I think it might have something to do with new privacy legislation. Next, they'll probably disconnect your brake lights. No one should know what your intentions are while you are driving because it's none of anyone else's business and might make you feel 'unsafe'. (This was a change...

    Loud Pop

    I'd check the local veterinary hospitals to see if any squirrels checked in with a concussion.

    Noise when accelerating at 50 mph

    My Model S does something similar. When I do a hard acceleration at about 50 mph , I get a bit of a rattling rumbling noise then as I approach 100 mph the sound sometimes changes to something that sounds almost like a siren from behind the car. Then as I approach 150 mph, it always fades away...

    Some Dude Kissed my Model Y Sentry video

    Glad it wasn't an ICE car. There's no telling what he would have done with a tailpipe :eek:

    Tesla is attempting to recruit me. Anyone have experience working for this company?

    Hard to know for sure. All of their engineers are under ten years old and don't speak any English.

    Tesla warranty for car noise

    Mine makes farting noises when I press a button on the steering wheel but I'm told it's within spec.

    Tesla is Peaking in Q3 '22

    Poll: I Believe Elon's statement that the Cybertruck will be able to cross rivers and even seas

    Can't wait for 'FSW' (Full Self Swimming) package that will likely come on sale for about $15k and be available 'next year'. Super excited!

    All emails in Quebec now arriving in french only, any way to change this?

    Next step is for all new vehicles to be delivered with a trunk full of smokes and a tub of poutine. I think it's the law now.

    Battery estimate high fluctuation

    Good point but because this had happened before, I was watching for route changes etc to try to explain it. I would understand a percentage point here and there but not a sudden jump by +10%. It's almost as if the algorithm was looking back at the last section of driving to predict the rest of...

    Battery estimate high fluctuation

    Similar story here. On a recent road trip, I watched as the estimated battery percentage at destination dropped by nearly 10% shortly after leaving a supercharger, causing us to divert and charge again earlier than anticipated. Yesterday, I watched as the estimated % actually jumped up by...

    Car very slow to respond to phonekey when Dog mode/climate enabled

    Probably just your dog messing with you. Does he looking like he's grinning when you approach the car? Watch his paws carefully - I bet you see him take swipes at the screen as you approach. Dogs can be jerks sometimes.

    Cmon man!

    I read something about shrinkflation but I thought that only had to do with groceries.

    What do you show in a demo of your Tesla?

    Nothing symbolizes the technical evolution of humanity better than fart noises from anywhere in the car I want. On demand! So cool. I usually stop there.

    Navigate Swipe Right and Down Both Go to Work

    Very strange. I swiped right and now I'm dating a recently divorced single mom from across town. She never tells me to go to work though. Maybe you should change your profile pic....unbutton your shirt or something.

    update

    I once went 71 days and 9 hours and 42 minutes between updates. Strangely, my therapist didn't seem to think it was that big a deal.

    Tesla Service - wash before pickup

    I know! The last time my car was in for service, I asked if they had any Grey Poupon and they just looked at me like I was an idiot. :(

    Solar PV - Bird Protection Yes/No?

    Our neighbour had a small squirrel make its way under a panel, chew through a wire and start a fire that did significant damage to the house. He included new panels in his rebuild but this time had barriers installed to prevent it from happening again. Just saying.

    Has anyone seen this orange blob?

    Too late. I stared at the picture above for a few moments and now I want to buy Twitter. Now just trying to figure out how I'm going to finance the purchase...

    What does this mean? (Pic)

    Ok now I'm disappointed: (1) the car is not as sophisticated as I thought it was, and (2) I guess I just gave myself a haircut for nothing.

    Clicking noise during turns

    Speaking of weird noises... I frequently hear a siren noise from behind the car shortly after pressing the accelerator all the way to the floor. If I keep the pedal pressed to the floor, it eventually goes away. :cool:

    Door handles behavior

    Alternate way to open the rear doors is to reach through the open driver door opening and use the interior door lever for the rear door. It's a short reach and will open the remaining doors on the second pull of the lever.

    Another tell tale sign of a performance model is if the car is wrapped around a tree with a teenager in the driver seat. :cool:

    1UP Bike Rack with 3 bikes at supercharger

    ...also many charging locations have at least one stall where the charger is located at the front of the stall. Not sure if these are marked on the map though...

    Rough probability of battery failure prior to warranty expiring?

    I'm in the same boat as you but figure I'd prefer the CHANCE that I'd have to drop $20-$25k on a new battery than the GUARANTEE that I'd spend at least that to step down into a lesser car. Just my two cents...

    Hmmmm

    ...and ask them to change the air in the tires. It's been in there a while and seems to be getting a bit stale.

    If I had the time, I'd take it in just to see what they'd do.

    Battery range with AC on

    For perspective, I have a 2016 S 85D that I regularly use camping mode with. Exclusively using the a/c all night long only drains the battery a little more than 1% per hour even on the warmest nights.
