I found mine in Scan My Tesla. “Birthday” year, month, day, hour, and minute are provided. Mine is 2021-11-17 05:58.

If I had to guess, you have one hot, one neutral, and one ground instead of two hots and a ground.

Feed the dog before driving? :-)

ASCII art, there's a blast from the past.

So they can sell you proprietary sensors for about a hundo each.

Different date for me when I checked yesterday (June 18). But still wrong. Still no option for the regen/mechanical brake blending.

I will have to check. I usually don’t pay attention to the date and see when updates are available in the Tesla app.

Got 2022.16.1.1 last night. Drove today, no option for the regen/mechanical brake blend. 2022 M3P 11/2021 build with Atom MCU and no FSD. Just got pushed 2022.16.1.2 about an hour ago, but haven’t driven yet.

Hold a piece of flat wood or cardboard in front of one of the lights while running the Lightshow app. If you see TESLA spelled out (it will be pixelated, but legible) then you have the matrix lights. There are also photos of the different lights in this thread but I’m too lazy to find them.

Swiss Francs, currently worth about $1.03 USD.

Tesla is cranking out about a million EVs annually. All the other manufacturers combined are a fraction of that. Except (maybe) for some inexpensive Asian city-car EVs that aren't available in North America.

I'm not with law enforcement (and not trying to be a D), but what you're proposing sounds to me like it could be interpreted as insurance fraud. Maybe someone here better versed in law in the two respective states could help, but I'm not sure how many lawyers or law students are here.

Yes, it's new for 2022.16.1.1. https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2022.16.1.1/release-notes

What kind of person in their 20s wouldn’t have at least a few years’ worth of driving experience? Other than native New Yorkers who can taxi/subway 24/7/365?

I'd rather have the screen real estate for other uses. I'm not going to watch a Pole Position version of myself while I'm actually driving. The older, vertical-screen Model S cars, prior to v9 firmware, would allow two apps at once. This is something I would like on the 3, if it didn't remove...

Explains why they went with unpainted stainless for the CyberTruck, except for the doors almost hitting each other. But they'd be a few thousandths further apart without paint, LOL. Tesla will probably just pawn your reject off on someone else. Rejects should be added to a demo/loaner fleet...

Older Model 3 with the "chrome" trim use a different TPMS system, based on 433 (?) MHz communications. The newer black-trim cars use BTLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) for communication.

Tesla might fix it once someone dies from Legionnaire's.

My wife has far more range anxiety as a passenger than I do as a driver, but as we get older (we're only in our 50s), bladder range becomes more important than battery range. With that said, I've rolled into a SC at 0% in my old P85D just a couple hundred feet after the car shut down (and had...

F___ the scalpers. Preferably with an old, weathered, splintery broomstick. How long before these "people" move on to something like baby formula, if they haven't already?

Lowered or stock? It's kind of hard to tell how steep that is from the Street View screenshot there. I assume that's a raised pedestrian crosswalk?

My wife has one of those on her car, but a different color. Eyelashes will reduce your range due to increasing aerodynamic drag.

You walk out onto the lot, find your VIN and inspect (exterior) before tapping Accept or signing anything. If you're lucky, they didn't lock the car and you can check out the interior as well.

What is that mark "southwest" of the socket? It looks like the plastic has a bit of a gouge in it. Could someone have jammed a lever/tool in there and been trying to pry your charge port door open, maybe?

Me: "USB" Tesla: USB not found. Navigating to USA. You have arrived at your destination. Me: $*@#! Tesla: Command not found.

Acid rain damage, maybe? Door opened when raining, rainwater dries on the pleather and leaves damaging acidic residue behind?

I don't think Tesla is intentionally disabling USB. They probably broke other voice commands that we just haven't noticed yet. These cars have plenty of onboard processing power to process voice commands natively without a network connection (in fact, the Model S - on the Tegra MCU1 no less -...

The Titan7 T-S5 are out of stock as of when I last checked- sometime last week and have been for a while. But I still have some Pirelli rubber to burn through before I replace my wheels.

“USB” worked on 2022.12.3.2, but is now b0rked on 2022.12.3.12.

Buy several crates of yellow citrus fruit from your local farmers market or roadside stand. Park the car directly in front of the Tesla sign at the location that sold you the car. Make a sign advertising said fruit for sale in a huge font and place that sign in front of the Tesla signage. Or...

Blue liquid could be harmless (washer fluid) or a severe fault (coolant for the battery/drive units). Sales Advisors are unit shifters, period. Get the car off the lot, no matter what. The “best” ones can sling bullsquat all day long and make customers believe it to be the truth.

I want to do the same but have been eyeballing the forged Titan T-S5 18-inchers. About 3 pounds less, but $150 more. (Per wheel) https://titan-7.com/collections/wheels/products/t-s5-forged-split-5-spoke-wheel-domestic-applications?variant=39772931326040

Unfortunately it seems like 2022.12.3.12 has broken the USB voice command for me. I don’t have a screenshot but I get a message that says something like “cannot open that service” now. It appears to still be a recognized command, however.

Semiconductor production can't come back to North America soon enough.

Some states have laws against sales of cars for profit, if you're not a licensed dealer. Search for the term "curbstoning." It might sound like you're sitting at the side of the road getting your 420 on, but it's frequently associated with scammers and such...

When I drove a loaner X back in late 2017 or so, I didn't get this feeling at all. It felt nearly as planted as my coil-spring 2014 S 85 that I had at the time. Possibly the air suspension on the X versus the springs on the Y?

I got a personalized plate in PA. It references electricity, but isn't Tesla-specific, it would work on an MME, Polestar, etc. PA DMV website said it would take 8 to 10 weeks, but I got it in about 7. No clue why it takes so long in CA. I guess there's more red tape, LOL. Also not sure what...

Sounds like they're jerking you around. As much as I hate to suggest it, you should probably talk to a lawyer.

It does make sense to soft-release the new battery on a short-range car, avoiding the Osborne effect. But I'm concerned with that NMC chemistry, these cells aren't going to like Texas heat, especially if they sit at 70% or higher SoC.

I was thinking just the deafening noise and vibration from being within a few meters of a strike would be enough "violence" to set off the alarm. Never gave any of this a thought.

Good thing you weren't driving 88 MPH at the time, or you would have died over 130 years ago.

There is no way the rear door of a Jeep should hit you that low. I'm thinking it might have been the Jeep's tire or fender arch that rubbed your paint off. It's hard to tell if your quarter panel is pushed in slightly or whether it is a reflection, but if it is a dent there, a good PDR shop...

Aren't the 4680s supposed to increase both power and range? Instead there's roughly 20% range loss and a slight downtick in power, or uptick in weight (again pointing to LFP - the F is Fe, as in iron, which is rather heavy) causing the 0-60 to drop to 5 seconds flat from 4.8 seconds for the LR...

Paint chips can happen on a brand new car while it's being transported, even before it's fresh-off-the-truck.

No, we're the testees. The software is being tested on us. By the robots behind the AI.

The BLE TPMS sensors used to be $75 each until Tesla decided to raise them to $95 each.

Buckle the passenger's belt or stick an extender in the passenger's latch?

Make sure "Exclude Home" is not set in Controls>Locks>Walk-Away Door Lock.

At least it's not dialing 999! Try deleting your bluetooth phone connection (both in the car and phone) and see if it stops trying to call, then re-add it. Also check for any "extra" phone connections to the car and delete them from in the car. Also you didn't mention what type of phone - iOS...

Valid point. So it's likely to be a couple decades out or more, assuming Elon or one of his successors becomes interested.
