So here’s the Situation, I was driving 45 - 50 mph on a very rural area in Desert Springs California on my way back home to San Diego. I saw a store and wanted to get water so I applied the brakes hard to slow it down but Did Not Slam the breaks, just a quicker slow down and onto a stop then I...

Went to a local supercharger here in Chula Vista Ca. To try the Starlink and no go, seems this one is for Service only and is password protected. The info box does show the wifi icon as posted in the picture, I tried my password for Tesla and my Starlink password as well. Let me know if you have...

You will need 10 of these strong magnets, these come with the double sided tape for the 5 that stick under the glass. So 3 sets down the center from front to back and 2 sets on each side closer to the center pillars. You can paint these or use a black sharpie marker. LOVIMAG Super Strong...

I just returned from a 7 day trip, model Y not plugged in but plenty of charge, car does drive, signal lights, head lights but No Screen, tried the reboot, that didnt work, going to try the D/C Contractor disconnect and see if that resets it all. Note, I can not connect to the Model Y via the...

This seems to be happening more often now, does anyone have any idea? Car is parked, music and A/C running, but as you can see we got some Hood activity here.

Yesterday as I was coming up on a traffic light it turned yellow and the car went crazy with the beeps, basic auto pilot but it wasn’t activated. I looked around and I was alone so it wasn’t anything else. Latest firmware 4.18.2 Fred

Hello everyone, I’m having a problem with my Bluetooth voice calls getting clipped off, I mean the person on the other side of the call hears half of what I am saying as the voice is getting cut off. Without the Bluetooth my phone sounds loud and clear with no audio clipping but when I connect...

Hello everyone, I wanted to share this with anyone interested in restoring those lost range miles. May 2020 Build AWD with 19” Gemini wheels. So this Model Y with 17,385 miles has degraded to 294 miles on 100% when I first got the car it was rated at 326 but I only would max out at 316 miles...

Elon just said in the Tesla 4th Qtr earnings report that the FSD will be out next month in Feb 2021. He was also asked if FSD could be transferred over to a new car, his reply was No. There was no mention of the FSD Subscription rates at this time. I’m more interested in Auto Lane Change only...

Great video that shows the side by side comparison of the Model 3 make over for 2021. Post if you like or hate the new changes.

I am looking at this Little Guy Mini Max travel trailer, post what you are towing and weight stats. Thanks

The Speed Assist with 2020.40.3 seems to be a total fail. Took the Model Y out last night, it failed to read 3 speed limit signs, basically was stuck on 45mph and failed to read three 65mph signs on Auto Pilot. These were Speed Limit signs it registered before. Also I thought that when it saw a...

Took the model Y out tonight for a ride, noticed there were no grey steering wheel icon on the left side of the screen to activate auto pilot. Pulled over and placed the car in park, rebooted twice, still no auto pilot steering wheel icon on the screen. The windshield looked cleared with...

Currently downloading 2020.36.10, anyone has the 411 on this patch? Fred

Downloading 2020.36.3 now, must be a bug fix, anyone has the notes? Fred

I haven’t seen this posted anywhere on here so here it goes, this came with 2020.36.0 but wasn’t released in the notes.

Check and see if you guys have Voice command “Open Glove Box” in the Y. On my Model Y, it doesn’t recognize that command, works fine in the Model 3. Model Y currently on 2020.36.0 and the computer has been rebooted. Fred

This is a awesome concept and one I would buy to take on long trips: Fred

Found a video on these Antenna that can replace the smaller Router OEM antennas. My signal was weak out in the driveway and my Model 3 wasn’t seeing the Updates. I would have to move the model 3 inside the garage after the Model Y got its update. These are 13.00 for a pair on Amazon. You can get...

There’s been a lot of talk about the Michelin Primacy MXM4 Tesla’s model 3 OEM tires wearing down faster then usual, I just checked all 4 tires with the measuring tool and the 2 rear are just touching the yellow so I believe 5/32. These are the original tires March 30th 2019. 18” Aeros. You can...

Departed San Diego with 310 miles @ 100% First leg from San Diego to Yermo, the picture is the results. 65 degrees in San Diego and 90 degrees in Yermo, constant speed at 70mph. Arrived Yermo Ca with 72 miles as it’s a lot of up hill driving, plenty left so next time I should take it to 75...

Wife didn’t care for the wood dash, I have it on my model 3 and it’s fine. So we had the wood dash delete done with a black brush vinyl look by Auto Armour in San Diego (Mira Mar) California. Price was $250.00, looks pretty good and she is happy with it. Pictures below but it really looks...

Well if this helps 1 person, I’ve done my job here. I’ve made a dumb áss move yesterday while at the Supercharger. Took the model Y out to a local Supercharger to ensure the Y was linked to my account so that when we head out to Vegas this Friday all is well, it worked. Now for the Bonehead...

Received the model Y on May 30, so 23 days ago and since it’s a long range, I’ve charged it maybe 5 times at 90%. The first time at 90% it read 277 miles, and the miles started creeping up slowly at 90% after the next 4 charges, now at 281 miles. The full charge 100% read 310 miles last week...

This charger seems to be weak and I may have to replace it with a Taptes Charger. The Taptes Charger works well in the Model 3 and my phones. Currently using a IPhone 10 XS Max with the Rokform case without the magnets. Doesn’t want to charge unless I remove the case cover. Anyone else have...

2020.12.5 gave us cool orange street cones even with HW 2.5, the only problem with this is that it’s displaying invisible cones, I guess end of the world walking dead cones that may have been there 10 - 20 years ago. Anyone else with this issue? I’m at work but will post pictures tomorrow. Fred

This is one mod I really like and that’s why I’m posting the before and after pictures here. Note that in the darker before picture I do have the brighter side trunk lights installed but as you can see it still doesn’t do the job. The after picture has the light strip. This does the job. Right...

Would be cool if Tesla gave the CyberTruck crawl control. This will help you get out of a jam big time like in sand or mud if you end up stuck at the beach or possibly in Snow. For those that have never seen this in action.. check this video. Fred
