Agreed. We are talking about trivial UI elements not Unreal Engine 5.4. This is nothing more than Tesla wanting a way to distinguish between "old" and "new" vehicles and make you want to buy a new one... without stopping software updates entirely.

This problem seems to have stopped with 2023.38.9 and I've taken a few upgrades since then. I'm on 2023.44.30.5.1 now and I've still not had this audio issue in about a month.

Thanks. I had it too in 2023.38.6 but after a few more drives, I still haven't heard it in 2023.38.9. Mine won't update to 2023.44.1 because I have FSD but it'll be interesting to see if it continues for you in that version.

I don't want to jinx it but I have not heard the cut-out in 2023.38.9 yet. I haven't driven much since I got it but the 4x I have since I got that version, no cut-outs. Might need more data though: too early to tell for sure.

Yeah, it seems really common. I've learned to just try to ignore it because it only happens within about a minute of "start up" and doesn't seem to happen while driving. I keep thinking the most likely time for it to happen is when the music first comes on (I use streaming music) and you are...

On 2023.32.9 and mine does it more now than ever. I think it's a hardware issue that is common and they keep trying to work around it with software so they don't have to replace parts.

I see what you are saying: kinda feel the same way. Honestly, no real point in having it then since AP does great in one lane and you have to take over for turns anyway. Mike

I just activated FSD for a month to try it. First drive today was a bit stressful. So far it seems worse than regular autopilot in general. At least with AP, I can predict what it's going to do. FSD gives it a mind of it's own and it'll frequently change lanes (like move to the right when a...

Glad I found this. Mine has been doing this for a few versions. I'm on 2023.20.9 and it's still doing it... I think more than ever. EXACT same symptoms as above: almost always when I first enter the car. Never in the middle of a drive.

No street lights around here and I've gotten the "b pillar camera blocked" messages at night for over 2 years now. Never seems to affect anything other than the messages popping up. I only wish there was an option to "dismiss" those messages permanently since they seem to affect nothing. Mike

T5 and T7 work in my 2021 but they have more video glitches than an endurance micro SD. Which brings up a question. I still get some video glitches after trying a dozen different types of storage but they only happen with sentry mode clips. I absolutely never get any glitches on dashcam: only...

Headlights look a little Camry-ish. Not sure I like it. But these things usually grow on me over time. Mike

Bottom line is that I think the implication here is that your phone key can unlock the wrong car. Safe to say that didn't happen. If someone forgets and leaves their phone in their car and has not set up PIN to drive, anyone can get in and drive off. Doesn't mean people are walking around...

Watched this yesterday and I wondered through the whole thing... if it's 16v, is it even possible to retrofit it into an older car or are there other hardware changes? In other words, (doubtful but) if Tesla wanted to offer an upgrade to the lithium battery, could they just install it and...

That's possible. I did have the phone with me. I'll retry without the phone when I get a chance. Mike

I just tried it and mine doesn't seem to work like this. I hit "Start" from the app and then went to the car, got in, and as soon as I put my foot on the brake, it asks for the PIN as usual. Which is, of course, what I would expect: it is pin to DRIVE... not pin to START. Or did I do...

I had a similar situation with a Mustart charger. Car wouldn't effectively sleep and kept bouncing around like that. I switched to the Tesla mobile connector and haven't seen the problem since. Here is my original thread...

Just had this happen for the first time in 2 years. Going out to reformat the USB drive now. Hopefully that'll take care of it. Mike

Nah. It's rare to hear about needing a computer replacement and these things happen on any car: out of thousands of parts, occasionally one will eat the proverbial poo and need to be replaced. This is a one-off and you'll be fine after the replacement. Mike

What software version are you on? I had a similar problem (with the side cameras black and loading) on 2023.2.12 but 2023.6.8 appears to have fixed it. They did eventually come on in the earlier version but it took about a 5 minute drive with them showing black with the loading circle to...

Yeah, fan (debris or misalignment) or AC compressor. Service will take care of you. Mike

I'm not even going to ask how something can be "extremely" normal... I'll just say that if the system doesn't have enough processing power to play a 1 second WAV file without interruption, that may just be the tip of the iceberg. :D Mike

I was able to capture it on video... along with the tip of my left index finger. :D Anyway, the video shows two examples of activating AP back to back. The first time, it sounds like it should with the usual dong-ding. The second one is interrupted at the beginning like a stuttering WAV...

Wonder if it could be related to this: Mike

Check out this thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/pearl-white-paint-match-ppsw-found.270900/ Looks like people tried it on the Model S. Is it the same pearl white they use on the Model 3? I would think so. Mike

For me at least, there is one exception to the car wash recommendation. If you have a Tommy Wash style car wash, they should be fine even though they touch the car. I've used one of the two in my area dozens of times and there's not even a single micro-scratch anywhere on the car. I think the...

I've rebooted many times and this has persisted through every update for the past 2 years. I'll see if I can get a recording of it the next time I drive it. It's definitely not a speaker since the only time it does it is when I activate AP. It's like the system lags or buffers for a fraction...

I searched for this and didn't find anything but it's kinda hard to come up with relevant terms so I hope I'm not duplicating. When I double tap down on the right stalk to activate regular Autopilot, it makes the usual double chime. Rarely it sounds normal and refined, like the double chime is...

While it is creaking try pressing down on the top of the dash just to the left of the steering wheel: start at the rear of the dash and move forward toward the windshield pressing in different spots. See if it goes away. Also try pressing against the top front corner/arc of the a-pillar. It...

Looks like Z-5678 to me. I can't do it justice in one frame but every frame I used looked like Z-5678. Mike

If you turn it up LOUD for 60 seconds and you have at least one new rattle when you are done, it is working properly. ;) Mike

I would suggest posting the entire clip(s) since having more than one frame helps. Just from your snaps, it looks like the plate ends in 5478. That (along with the make/model/color) might be all the police need. Mike

Dang. That looks phenomenal! Mike

I guess you don't have a lot to lose by trying a touchup pen or brush. I'd give it a try. What's the worst that can happen? You need to get at least the bumper repainted which you'd have to do anyway. Another thought. If you were ever considering a wrap... that's another option to cover it...

I like options so I think it'd be fun to play with. With that said, I wouldn't use it on a regular basis: probably just for show. Any time I hear an ICE car now, I immediately frown and rub my temples thinking, I don't know how anyone can put up with that DRONING. Mike

I don't expect many people will care (including me). The only time you would ever see it is shining a flashlight skimming the surface directly over it. Mike

I'm on 2023.2.12 when I took the picture above. I've been on several trips and noticed no issue: both dashcam and sentry mode have been working as expected and I've been using them as recently as yesterday. On my first drive after 2023.2.12, I did have issues with my two repeater cameras...

Press the car button lower left and then tap the Record button. If everything is working like in the picture, you'll get a red dot and it'll change to RecordING. If not, no red dot and it just says "Record". At which point, look at the top of your screen for any exclamations or error icons...

My March 2021 built LR. Never knew that was there. You really have to hit it with a sharp angle of light to see it: almost vertical. Otherwise it is not visible. Mike

Had the same problem: leak at the headliner caused the edge of the passenger seat (on the passenger side) in the back to get wet. Studied the glass where the two glass pieces meet and squirted a little outdoor clear silicone around the corner of both pieces of glass where it looked like there...

My 2021 has the Atom processor and has never had an issue with Sentry mode. There could be hardware issue with your car. Maybe force them to look into the specific errors you were getting as they could be related. BTW, I often feel like it is pedantic semantics (a mental flex) to pick at the...

I don't know if this comes into play but one thing to note is that it will only check for a new version once every 24 hours. So if you go to the software tab and it says up to date as of yesterday at 6pm and it's currently 5 pm, go to the software tab again an hour later and it will actually...

The front motor on my 2021 has always whined a little at heavy throttle particularly in cooler weather when it is trying to heat up the battery. I've seen responses that the car runs the motors in a less efficient mode to build heat sometimes. Not sure if that's true or not but it's never...

My 3 phantom braked all the time (for a year and a half) when it was on the radar versions of the software, mostly in the same spots. I don't see much of a difference now that they deactivated radar. If anything, it's a little better on vision-only. My only complaint is (again on the 3) the...

Ah. OK. Dummy me forgot I was in a Model S thread. ;) Mike

That's strange. Maybe the rain sensing just wasn't working or it wasn't raining hard enough or you have to be going over a certain speed? I have my wipers in the OFF position by rule and was surprised when I engaged AP that my wipers came on. I brought up the wiper UI and tried off, 1, 2...

I recently posted that I didn't see much difference before/after radar but it was raining today and boy was that a difference! I wax my windshield so water just rolls off at speeds of 50+ MPH; I never use my wipers at those speeds because it's actually clearer without using them. But with...

Pretty sure they have all that at their disposal, even if they are not using all of it right now. Longitudinal and lateral G sensors can detect vibration. Cameras combined with wheel speed sensors can "feel" the road better than you do. Probably the only thing they don't have is the sense of...

If you don't want to dump $15,000 for it and decide to try the $200/mo option, the "harm" in not getting it until wide release would be paying for it and not having it... until the wide release. And assuming there even is a wide release. That's 4 mo, 6 mo, or more paying for something that...

This is precisely why I'm not interested in the FSD beta. It is not worth me having to alter my driving to drive like a monk and be criticized by Tesla in order to get into the beta. I'd rather enjoy driving my car. When they release it to the masses and don't require "sterile" driving, I'll...
