Not dying on the side of the road, but getting false “degradation” concerns. If you drive 10% a day and charge 70-80 every night for a month, the BMS will show much less range. And yes, this happens often and you see it asked every day several times on the very forum. So the recommended regimen...

If you follow the Tesla manual strictly you get an unbalanced BMS. First time discussing this issue?

2017X100D here, have v12 FSD installed. Works great. Have the MCU2 upgrade tho

I’m sorry, what was it that I did to not charge normally?

Gotcha. Ok, so will look but not mess with. Thanks.

Interesting. How do you access this menu?

Thanks...For full disclosure, I'm very much up to speed on proper charging habits and balancing of BMS. I've was engaged and reading on this issue since 2018 (you might see some reddit threads from 6+ years ago from me, I wrote a lengthy tutorial on the issue)...I appreciate the tips, but let's...

OK fair enough. But respectfully, I don't see how "babying the battery" was an issue here. I was just driving the car normally...the computer simply misjudged the range left and miscalculated that I could reach the supercharger in time. No bueno.

I was on the highway doing 70, about 2 miles from the supercharger, no warnings. Then the car suddenly said "Car shutting down for insufficient charge, pull over safely," or something similar, and a repeating chime...on the 6% shut down I was able to coast with no acceleration at all (it was a...

Florida in August, so about 75F, and the road is always flat flat flat. Makes (or used to make) roadtrips very easy to plan. The energy graph was always perfectly reliable, and I would ensure to modulate driving speed to ensure to arrive at the SC with 5-10%. Recent roadtrips have been done...

Thanks, I appreciate the support. The 3 is stable at 270ish miles at 100% (just updated numbers in signature), which according to Tesla is normal degradation. I haven’t run the 3 below 10% since 2020 or so, when I did the last long roadtrip in that car. But this happened on the 2017 X100D, which...

Their BMS system is fantastic for prolonging battery health. Great. How about addressing the issue for which this thread was started: the car shuts off in the middle of the highway with significant battery range left on the dial and the energy screen. If the BMS simultaneously shows 6% on the...

Same, Tesla just sent me links to charging habits articles. What did they say to you?

Ok I have a bone to pick with the Tesla apologists here. If we are driving the car as recommended and charging as recommended, it is absolutely unforgivable to have a system that tells you you have 6% battery left and then suddenly die on the highway. I’d like to think I’m a highly-tech saavy...

My X died on the highway this weekend, same situation, had 3% at time of shut off, .8 miles from supercharger…it’s now in SC for diagnostics…what ended up happening with yours?

Thanks brother, good way to look at it. I’ve tried everything there is to try, I think, including running the battery to less than 10%, letting it sit for 8 hours, and then charging to 100%, and letting it sit for an hour before driving. I’m never getting above 270. Service Center did a BMS...

Yeah thanks. It’s a 2018 P3D so no LFP batteries…haven’t seen any range impact yet but after losing 40 mile in the first 20k miles, I’m a little skiddish

I always have my charging slider set to 85%. Always. Charged the car sunday afternoon, didn’t go out Monday, today Tuesday got in the car and it was at 100%. The app has the slider at 100%. It’s clearly been sitting at 100% for two days, I’m so pissed off. Anyone have this bug happen to them? I...

Problem solved. it was not Tesla’s fault at all. Teslafi apparently had an option to “enable sentry mode at untagged locations,” and fo some reason they did some update that untagged my home as a designated location, ergo, Teslafi was enabling sentry mode in both Teslas. mea culpa. thanks...

Of course it’s a contract. re-read what you wrote.

This word salad hurts my lawyer brain

This is the way

If you can drive on autopilot most of the time, it's pretty easy to get and keep a high safety score. You don't get dinged when autopilot makes sudden stops or turns.

car nav shows correct address for hime when in the garage. yes, absolutely sure, boxes for “Exclude Home” and “Exclude Favorites” are ticked

Thanks, man, you gave me hope…tried deleting all profiles except one, deleted home address designation, reassigned it, confirmed it is set to exclude Home, parked, 5 minutes later, it’s on again. I’m at my wit’s end here…

I'm having the same issue...did you get it fixed? How do you set a "Home" address on the iOS app? I don't see a field for setting "Home" to any address on the phone app.

Howdy all...I'm unable to disable sentry mode while at home, for some reason. After years of the feature working perfectly at home, both the Model X and the Model 3 started enabling sentry mode while in the garage, every time. This started happening about a month ago. If you enter the car in...

This is exactly right!! Interestingly enough, I've found that autopilot works the absolute best on roads similar in construction and design to southern california! There's a reason for that!

It most definitely depends on the roads and circumstances...On the most recent update, I drive from home to work and back on complete FSD with usually no phantom breaking of any kind. But this weekend we took a roadtrip to Key West and the phantom breaking on a straight road with no...

This should not be the case. The acceleration shudder on Model X is well known and there is a TSB on the issue: Tesla Has New Service Bulletin On Model S/X Acceleration Shudder Tesla service should replace the half-shafts, and if it ever comes back, it should be covered as a recurring...

4 years later, I'd say "1. Your son might not be doing fencing and tennis by the time car is out, and your grandson will likely be growing out of it already too."

Without a doubt, it is.

When I bought my Model 3, the sales rep specifically told me the design of the screen without an instrument cluster was specifically done so that when the car was fully and totally autonomous, they would just remove the steering wheel and pedals and the front would be symetrical. Also, the...

You want to quibble over a few months? From what I read online, FSD was available for purchase since at least October of 2016. We are in January 2022. Do you still drive the same car you drove in 2016? Do you know anyone else that does?

$3k but you had to buy AP as a $5k option, so $8k, plus a modest cost of investment of 5% per annum, you’re looking at $10,400. For a computer swap. And also, no, Radar, cameras and MCU have not been replaced for free as part of FSD…sorry, you say that ain’t bad, I say it is. Few people hold on...

if you paid for FSD six years ago, at what point do you believe that they will start owing you something?

I just received my first FSD strike after sitting in line waiting for a Covid test. It was a dirt road where I did not intend to use auto pilot at all. It was a long line of cars inching along for approximately two hours. I would Simply stop the car by pressing the brake, and then wait, and the...

What is “at least one strike per 5km” mean? If it’s only one strike, how are they measuring the distance? Wouldn’t you need two strikes within in particular distance for the sentence to make any sense? Does it mean two strikes within a 10 km distance? I don’t get it, perhaps I am not reading...

No, I am able to steer the car perfectly fine with one hand. I am shocked by the number of people that find it to be a sacrilege to the safety gods when someone steers the car with one hand in a straight line. I have to believe they are either new/very inexperienced drivers, or simply...

If you tap the home link button while on reverse, the camera disappears, only to be replaced by the Car Menu, where the home link screen asks you to press again, and only then does it activate. Does it activate for you automatically from the screen showing the backup camera while in reverse???

Incredibly, I am able to do more than one thing at a time. The shakiness of the video is because I was only looking at the road, holding the steering wheel and applying pressure to the accelerator. Reasonable minds may differ, I suppose, thanks for the tip.

the gps acting crazy has happened a few times, Tesla service said to wait for the next update and it should fix it…same old story…but this is the first time it slams the brakes at highway speeds…

good tips! Unfortunately, it seems route navigation is entirely separate from the gps data feeding speed limit info to the car…it still responds to changes in speed limits.

Is there a way to disable the whole GPS/navigation system and still use regular AP with TACC? At this point, I’m really nostalgic for a 2016-era AP system for the highway.

Exactly! I don’t understand why a GPS point is the only data autopilot uses to make such sudden maneuvers. until they fix this issue, why is it not possible to have an option to never have the car automatically decelerate if it detects a speed limit change. Maybe just beep saying that the speed...

I understand, thank you for explaining. And thank you Mod for changing the tile, I clearly did not know what I was doing! Haha

Thanks for saying that. Hey, we have the same cars!

this is a common argument on this board, I don’t get it. Talking about it on a forum is not mutually exclusive to lodging a formal service ticket and maybe writing directly to Tesla, both of which I will do. As a consumer, I’m not sure I can do much more, short of litigating, and I’m not...
