    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I found a workaround to save my seat changes in my driver profile. Make changes to seat. Make a token change to steering wheel/side mirror. This causes a profile popup to appear where you can click SAVE. I can confirm that the seat changes are saved as well. Unfortunately terminating...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Did a hard reboot this morning. Driver profile save is still broken, however, it's only broken for seat position changes. The popup menu appeared when I changed the position of mirrors, steering wheel and following distance to front vehicle and I could save by tapping the SAVE button. I even...

    I wasn't referring to whose profile wins when both of us enters the car (I got wifey a key fob but that's a story for another day :D). I was referring to changing my seat position and not being able to save. I can't recall if I changed my seat position with 2021.4.3 (got that only 6 days...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Installed 2021.4.6 yesterday arvo. It appeared to have broken driver profiles. When I adjusted my seat position, the normal pop-up window did not appear to save my seat settings. When I brought up the driver profile screen, the Save button is grey out. Did a soft reboot, same thing. May try...

    Try recalibrating your camera. Pick a stretch of road with lots of shadows from roadside trees from early morning/late afternoon sun during calibration drive. It took <10kms for to calibrate my cameras. 99% of my phantom braking have since disappeared :).

    Good news is 2021.4.3 fixed the NoA Eastlink Freeway off ramp to High Street Rd southbound issue :). Can't do much other testing with the 5-day snap lockdown in VIC.

    Navigate On Autopilot in Australia

    Thought I'll resurrect a thread that had been quiet since the start of Melbourne's covid lockdown hell :(. Like most Melburnians my SR+ odometer came to a grinding halt then and only started picking up in recent months. I cannot recall which software version I was on (would have been from...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I reached out to HS via the WhatsApp link on their website and was sent an update.bin file and an upgrade guide pdf. I asked for the version no. of the update.bin but got nothing back. I'm going on a road trip this weekend; I'll apply the update next week :D.

    A further update on this (yesterday I did NOT make a note if the car was locked or not). When in "D" and the car is locked, I CANNOT open the trunk by physically pressing the button on the lid.

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I have a M3 SR+ 2019 and I bought and installed the Hansshow automatic tailgate V4 (see my past posts with installation feedback and photos). My V4 kit came with the CANBUS harness which I installed. The last few posts piqued my interest so I thought I'd do a test. In "D" mode, the OPEN...

    The two black plugs are to replace the two shocks that come with the trunk lid (see one of my previous post (HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install). As per my post I chose to keep the shocks.

    A couple of developments. Yesterday evening I applied the 2020.24.6.9 update. With the Stage 3 lockdown in the state of Victoria (we're enduring a 2nd wave :(), I couldn't go out for a test drive as that doesn't fall into one of the 4 permitted reasons to leave our homes. This morning I'd...

    Isn't the '18 OBD connector different to the '19+ ones? Different #pins?

    Regarding the V4 foot sensor ... the only installation instructions I could find on the Hansshow website is this page which isn't the V4 version as you have to tap a couple of wires. When I asked William@Hansshow on WhatsApp about how to install the V4 foot sensor, he sent me these photos...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    Appreciate your contribution to the installation :). Do you work for Hansshow? I reckon as long as you do not see any light ingress into the trunk with the back seats down, you can be confident that water would not ingress as well. I'll do the following test in a dark garage or at night time...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    To be honest I didn't even see that step. Their printed and online instructions were so bad I gave up on them a long time ago, and instead used the multitude of online videos as guides. I just checked those 2 rubber pieces on my trunk lid. Screwing them in or out didn't appear to change the...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I've not had any issue with my power trunk thus far. I've opened/closed it when parked in the garage and out and about at shopping centre carparks, etc. Tapping the power from the rear penthouse (I believe that's what it's called) is easier than from the front passenger footwell, but you...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    My trunk closed the same with or without the shocks (except for the differences in the gap). The strength is default (2 beeps I think), speed is set at the fastest (6 beeps), it slows down with about 6in to go with the latch catching soon and getting pulled down. Never had any slamming with my V4.

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I checked the gap between the trunk lid and the chassis, and based on a grand statistical sample of 2 cars (mine and the one in the video posted above) :D I'll say that Tesla may have a QC issue with non-uniform gaps between trunk and chassis. That isn't a surprise as there have been lots of...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    The shocks could also prevent the lid from latching on to the motorised catch. If that happens, you'll have to increase the closing strength so it latches before the motorised catch pulls it shut. I guess it's a balance between the size of the gaps and latching ability. I will check today how...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I'd initially wanted to leave the white clips in the lid and "slid" the trim panel into them but found that to be quite impossible because of the proximity of the metal pieces (see yellow arrow below) for the handholds to the 2 white clips close by. Didn't want to crease the panel, and it was...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I replaced them as per Hansshow's instructions/videos but I see your point. My trunk lid has no gaps with the V4 kit installed; I'll put back the shock absorbers today and see if they make any difference.

    After changing the wheel setting, the screen blacked out a la soft reboot; after that a message appeared stating the TPM has been reconfigured. Just noticed that the app image also showed the passenger side door opened where I was sitting :).

    Some more tips with power tailgate install. Mark the centre position of the original latch before removing it. My SR+ is black so I marked it using a sharpie on masking tape. When extracting the white clips, positioning the 2 pry tools as shown below. The white clip has 2 "bumps" on...

    I installed my V4 power tailgate (without foot sensor) over 2 days on the weekend. Overall I took 12-14hrs to complete the install but I took it real slow. Now that I've done it, I could probably do another one in under 6hrs. Here are my tips from my installation. Have extra pry tools than...

    Apologies ... my confusion regarding the trunk lights was because I'm a noob :rolleyes:. This is the CANBUS OBD cable. CANBUS-to-control box cable. The CANBUS OBD cable has 2 small sockets, however, CANBUS-to-control box cable has only one plug (which fits into either socket). I assume...

    I ordered the Hansshow M3 power trunk a week ago---when I got it yesterday it was a V4 with the CANBUS connector. The included installation manual is really pathetic, there's no way a DIY novice like me can follow those instructions. I've already watched videos by frugal tesla guy, electrified...

    Tested 20.13 traffic lights and stop signs control yesterday evening for the first time on major suburban roads in Melb like Burwood Hwy, Springvale Rd, Ferntree Gully Rd, etc., roads where I would normally engage TACC (or AP occasionally). It definitely works. The car correctly detected every...

    I retained my 2-partition M.2 drive and manually formatted both partitions to exFAT (and created the TeslaCam folder in the TESLADRIVE drive) on my PC.

    It would be interesting to see if Tesla can execute the formatting (on the correct one) when more than one physical USB drives are plugged in. I would swap out your music one with a spare drive before attempting :).

    If someone had posted this already I apologise. I bought my SR+ using a referral in late Aug 2019 after 6 months had past in late Feb 2020, I still had about 1,200+kms left in my loot box. I'd dared to hope that Tesla wouldn't expire my free supercharging kms. I opened my app this morning...
