We are looking for another podcast participant who can act as a lead co-host to join the TMC Podcast. If you are interested in participating please see this thread.
(Eastbound) They’ve torn out the curbs to redo them. I chatted with a guy from the construction company. He said they weren’t satisfied with the smoothness of the concrete.
There's a hardware hack that allows that. Youtubers "Frenchie" and "Dirty Tesla" installed HDMI ports on their displays so they can capture high-quality video of the screen. Check the image quality in this screenshot:
Edit: found a picture of the mod. As you can see, it's a bit bulky.
I would hope that what he said recently implies that there's been a major rework of the code. Referring to it as "(actually) smart" is a bit Elon, though...
The chargers are all mounted at the Towpath (Eastbound) plaza. Still a lot of finishing work to do, but it's nice to see the progress.
They were pouring concrete for the footers yesterday at the Great Lakes (Westbound) plaza, so they're just a couple of days behind on that side.
The chargers are being installed at the Towpath plaza (Eastbound). There was a work crew setting them up this morning. I didn't have time to stop to take a picture.
BTW, the previous post showing chargers must have been at one of the plazas east of here. Neither direction had charges until this...
I've had my Model 3 for four years now and I've never seen the "P". I've even tried the maneuver you described since it seems like it would help. I guess I'll try it again to see what happens.
The three users on TeslaFi previously had 12.3.15, so that looks to be the next minor version. Apparently they are addressing a specific bug, or at least that seems to be the rumor.
I find Dirty Tesla's evaluation somewhat encouraging. He's one of the "OG" beta testers who runs sensible tests, and I like the clear view of the screen he gets from his HDMI hack. Plus his environment is fairly similar to where I am, though we have fewer roundabouts.
It appears the 10.12 has...
I wonder about that as well. There's a checkbox to request a review when saving changes, but it's optional.
I first learned that Tesla uses OSM data around the time that Smart Summon was released. I had tried it out when I first got the software update and it performed horribly. I was in the...
I doubt that they would dock us for safety scores at this point. I managed to keep my 99, but if my score had slipped I wouldn't expect to be left out of the bugfix once it rolls out.
I was just notified that 2012.36.5.1 is downloading to my car. That's the first time I've ever seen a version downgrade pushed out. I guess it has to do with the "FSD Unavailable" thing?...
I've driven with FSD engaged four times now, and so far I haven't encountered the "FSD Unavailable" thing others are seeing. It's a bit jerky sometimes, but I'm impressed overall with how far they've come.
Has anyone tried leaving and rejoining the queue to see if it works? I have a 99 score, so as long as I maintain that I guess I don't need to worry about it. Still, for the folks with less than 99 it might be an option (if it works!).
Since the Safety monitor is also tagged as "Beta", I'm hoping they'll do something about the hair-trigger threshold for Hard Braking. On a two-mile drive yesterday I was flagged twice, once for stopping for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, and again for stopping at a red light. I was only going...
I've been watching for a new version to drop. 2021.32.21 is new today, but over 250 cars already have it. I'd think that someone would be screaming about "The Button!!" by now...
I needed to charge at the Macedonia station yesterday. Sadly, it seems to still have the problems it had before the "upgrade" in April. I had to move to a different stall twice before I could get a decent charge rate. The first one (3A) barely ramped up to 50 kw and then the guy at 2B moved to...
The upgrades at Macedonia bumped the KW rating to 150. (They used to be 120kw). I don't know whether they have independent feeds for the chargers, but they installed new transformers, so that sounds promising.
From the mytownneo page linked in the original post:
It isn't clear whether there will be separate Supercharger units or just non-Tesla chargers with multiple connectors. I've heard of some chargers supporting the Tesla connector in addition to CCS, but haven't seen one myself.
The Macedonia...
A member of the Cleveland Tesla Owners Facebook group posted photos of a big Tesla Energy van and a truck full of equipment at the Macedonia station last week. The chargers were offline for a while and the Tesla web site now lists them as 150 kW. Hopefully the upgrades / maintenance will fix the...
Looks like we'll eventually get a Supercharger near the interchange at US 41. There are Pilot and Loves stations there. I think that Tesla has partnered with both of those to host SC stations.
The Tesla map has been updated. Elberfeld (coming in 2018,2019,2020...) has been replaced with Haubstadt IN, coming in Q4 2021.
Haubstadt, IN
Target opening in Q4 2021
I got the notification for 2020.12 this morning. I previously had 202.8.1. Less than an hour after I installed it, I got the notification for 2020.12.1. LOL
No map updates yet.
My USB drive is no longer recognized for the camera recording function. The drive has plenty of free space and doesn't show any errors (when mounted on a computer). I wonder if the exFAT support introduced a new bug...
In the past I've usually been in the last 10%-20% to get an update, so I was surprised to get the notification for 202.8.1 yesterday. I got the HW3 upgrade installed a couple of weeks ago.
(2018 "stealth" P3D, HW3 upgrade)
I dropped my car off at the Lyndhurst (Cleveland) SC this morning. They said that the hardware install goes fast but the firmware update can be problematic. They'll let me know if the car is ready to pick up this afternoon. If not, I can keep the Model S loaner overnight.
(VIN 99xxx, delivered...
My edit link disappeared on Saturday and I was able to complete filling in my payment and trade-in info. I got a call from Vegas yesterday (1-888 number) to schedule my delivery. I was given a choice of 9/29 or 9/30, so the end-of-quarter push is definitely on.
