    Tesla FSD 10.69.3.1 going to wide release now

    Just updated to 10.69.3.1 Now unable to report problems since dash cam button is missing from the display. Disabled FSD Beta, and still no dash cam functionality. Did several screen "restarts", no change. Anybody have thoughts on how to correct this?

    Tesla App V4.12.0 Adds Tire Pressure

    Me, M3, Ver 2022.20.15, FSD Beta, tire pressures not available in the app Wifey, MY, Ver 2022.24.8, not FSD, tire pressures available in the app. Based upon experience, it takes a while for the FSD S/W to catch up with the niceties of non beta s/w.

    Story Time! Day 3 Experience Of a New FSD Beta Tester.

    Thanks for the response. Your drawing was clear to me. It appears that fsdb has some individual behavior. This is reasonable, given the same car and s/w sometimes behaves differently at the same location.

    Story Time! Day 3 Experience Of a New FSD Beta Tester.

    Great write up. FWIW I am also a fsdb tester and routinely drive SJ-Soquel road between the summit and La Selva Beach. V12.2.2 is much improved over past versions. I recognize that it’s not perfect yet, but marching in the right direction. It still gets a bit confused on what lane to use on...

    Huge update, V11...thoughts? and any hidden features found yet??

    We think alike, my dislikes exactly. Plus, when playing music from my phone via b/t, no longer shows condensed view of what's playing. Other features are improvements.

    Dark mode, when viewing car location in the App

    Does anyone know how to toggle this on and off? For some reason it always appears in Dark mode, which is difficult to view. I am specifically focusing on viewing my car’s location when using the iPhone app.

    Tesla app version 4.0.0 has app re design for both car and energy

    Yes, I think they are great when looking at the monthly view, very easy to see PW performance and associated losses. Unfortunately the viewed data is not part of the data that is downloaded to the CSV file, but that may improve over time.

    Tesla app version 4.0.0 has app re design for both car and energy

    I tend to agree with most of the comments and have similar frustrations. One thing that really changed was how data is downloaded. The previous app provided the following data; Date time Home Usage (kWh) Solar Energy (kWh) From Powerwall (kWh) From Grid (kWh) To Grid (kWh) This is...

    Powerwall efficiency 86%....

    Thanks for your comments and analysis, insightful. Monthly data, just a summation of the daily data obtained by downloading from the Tesla App. It appears that both efficiency analysis’s are pretty close. Using a rough form of regression analysis, the daily o/h is ~385wH, where you and others...

    I took a crack at performing a simple regression analysis of the 19 months of data. It's been several decades since performing this level of math, so feel free to provide constructive comments or point out possible errors. A simple regression with the following equation y=0.08X+11.6, indicates...

    Powerwall efficiency 86%....

    My most recent data and efficiency has dropped, from 83.2% to 82.7%, Jun to Jul. When looking into the data with respect to previous user comments, it appears that when the PW is not used very frequently, the "overhead losses" add up and contribute to lack of efficiency, which sounds about...

    Thx, I can see and download the From/To Powerwall data in the Day view, but not for the week/month/year setting, or am I missing something?

    Powerwall efficiency 86%....

    Would you mind sharing the method do you use to obtain your kWh into & Out of the PW's? For some reason, I have not figured out how to do this with the Tesla app.

    Powerwall efficiency 86%....

    A bit late in adding my June input, but for some strange reason my efficiency dropped to 83.2%, after being up the previous 2 months and is about what it was during past winter (cold) months.

    Powerwall efficiency 86%....

    I have been tracking my single PW for 17 months, with an overall average efficiency of 84.4%. I used the data from the Tesla app, with the following calculation; Efficiency = 1 - Losses Losses = (Solar Energy + From Grid - To Grid - Home Usage) / From Powerwall, if others are using a different...

    Lost all User setting, including HomeLink

    The service center sent out a new S/W update, 2021.4.15.6. It appears to have installed properly, with no configuration files. I reset configurations and they seem to work. Using the Tesla App to request service or report problems is a pia, but the only thing to use for now. With a bit of work I...

    Update, I checked the 12v battery, and it is at or about 13.6V, so appears to be fine Some other strange occurrences. Somewhere during this period, all the trip odometer readings where reset. Also, I went into the settings for the following; Nav on AP was disabled Speed offset was All trip...

    Recently installed 2021.4.15.7, all appeared OK. Charged at home the next evening, then entered to car, and it appeared that another s/w update occurred, since screen was showing “Release Notes”. Then many issues occurred…. The car was “auto locking” at “home”, which it shouldn’t have been...

    Incorrect Navigation routing

    Recently, within the past 3 months, navigation is providing incorrect routing instructions to my home, which is in a rural area. In fact, if anyone used the routing instructions, they would arrive at a dead end in another's local driveway. Previously the routing was correct. Additionally, the...

    Powerwall Efficiency

    I just reviewed my data from the Tesla app, and for the months Mar thru May, 2020, my round trip efficiency was 84.2%, 84.9% & 85.7% respectively, much like your observations. And easy to see that it improves as the weather warms. Tesla advertises 90% RT efficiency on the PW2, so wondering where...

    Unable to use 12V Tesla Tire Repair compressor with USB connected TapTes Dual Qi wireless charger

    I agree that it was a non-sensical response, but am fully aware that Tesla CS is energetic, wants to help, but slowly maturing, with minimal factory resources assisting. I even asked if they had a Tesla wireless charging mat to simulate the situation, but they didn't. When I get the courage, am...

    Unable to use 12V Tesla Tire Repair compressor with USB connected TapTes Dual Qi wireless charger

    You may have a point, but not sure that applies, since the Tesla Compressor was running for 60-90 seconds before loosing power, which indicates initial current surge may not have been the issue.

    They kept working just fine. So not really sure how the 12V circuits are divided and protected.

    Unable to use 12V Tesla Tire Repair compressor with USB connected TapTes Dual Qi wireless charger

    I didn’t disconnect the model 312V battery, The 12V didn’t reset after 36 hours, but did after reinstalling the s/w. Didn’t attempt disconnecting the 12V battery.

    Unable to use 12V Tesla Tire Repair compressor with USB connected TapTes Dual Qi wireless phone charger.
