On my Google Pixel tablet, when I set up a navigation, it shows the screen below. I cannot slide the Supercharger list down to show more of the map. On my (Android) phone it's a little better, but I'd like to be able to show more of the map. No way to do that, right?

I bought a pressure washer and foam cannon, but sent them back because it was too much bother to hook them each time I wanted to wash the car (plus the washer wasn't strong enough for driveway cleaning). Now I got one of these...

I'm bringing this up in case others have seen it. Using TMC in the Brave browser, I occasionally get a message that Brave is not responding, and do I want to wait or close the app. I've only had it happen when on the TMC site, but I can't say that TMC is causing it.

Does anyone have definitive evidence that recalibrating the cameras fixes the issue of FSD driving on or over the lines on a two-lane highway?

Here's one reason I chose to subscribe rather than buy FSD for our second Tesla.

I bought FSD when I bought Nick (see sig), but I decided to subscribe to FSD for Tessie. Although I hate recurring expenses, it seemed smarter to "rent" (reasoning debated in other threads). An unexpected $200 benefit is that Tesla is giving subscribers a free month (just to be nice?) whereas...

I just got the FSD free trial email for Tessie (see sig) although she's subscribed to FSD. Will I get a month free?

As you can see in this video: I have lines taped onto the cement outside our garage that make it super easy to back in. However, the tape doesn't last very long. I also tried painting lines, but that paint faded too much. I'm thinking of getting some of these and gluing them down. Think...

I'm finally getting a pressure washer. Please confirm that if I use these products, I won't damage the paint: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPGMUXW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HC898GM/?coliid=I2X6GDKN98SMLX&colid=3UWNQLEQNSTG4&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it...

Today my wife said that Rainbow Road turned on while driving Tessie (see sig). She says it just happened while she was driving—didn't touch the stalk. Can that happen?

If I get acceleration boost, will my insurance go up?

Sometimes we complain about things here that are eventually fixed. This is a thread for listing those things. For example, we've complained that you can't turn off Auto Wipers when on FSD or Autopilot. Now you can. I haven't heard as many complaints about phantom braking. Fixed? Better? I...

Now that Superchargers are being opened to other car manufacturers, do you think those companies will (eventually) start putting their cars' charge ports on the front right or rear left so that they don't take up two spaces?

During another power outage yesterday I wanted to charge up my phone for an hour or so. Anybody found a simple way to keep the USB ports on? I'm thinking something like camp mode but with the temperature set to the current garage temp?

I'm hoping this is a one-off, and I'm describing it here in case it's related to the upgrade to 2023.44.30.20 (installed yesterday). Nick was at 56%, and I plugged him in around 8 PM, with a target SOC of 80% and a Scheduled Departure time of 7 AM. I woke up this morning at 6:30 AM and he was...

I find the animated avatars distracting and annoying. They don't really add anything to the forum. Gottatofast's avatar on the Model 3 page is an example (not animated in this screenshot):

Recently my car stopped making the lock confirmation sound. Sure enough, that option was set to off. There's no way I'd turn that off, my wife hadn't driven Nick, and I hadn't been in the lock settings page. Someone else reported the speed limit chime had turned on by itself. Does this really...

We've had six power outages so far this year. It bugs me that we have tons of power sitting in our garage, power that could be replenished with a trip to a supercharger. What would be needed to add a 110v outlet to the car like the one in the Cybertruck? I know I could attach an inverter to the...

I was complaining to my wife about all the false, misleading, and negative articles about EVs, and she had a good response: "More chargers for us."

When washing the car, I rinse it then cover it with Chemical Guys' Snow Foam via a foam gun then wait ten minutes and finish washing the car. I'm not convinced that it makes any difference. That is, it's no less clean if I skip the foam step. Have others seen that? If I used a foam cannon...

Once again I found that switching to Scheduled Charging then back to Scheduled Departure leads to the car charging when it shouldn't. We've been using SD for months without a single error. I switched to SC for one night, then switched back. Since then, it has started charging as soon as the car...

As soon as I saw this guy on the wrong side of the road, I took over. Do you think FSD would have avoided the head-on if I hadn't been paying attention?

I'm seeing two Tesla transactions on my credit card bill: The first is the annual charge for premium connectivity, and the second is the FSD subscription (plus sales tax). Is there anywhere I can go to see the invoice for these charges? The Order History on Tesla.com is only for shop...

We currently subscribe to FSD for Tessie (see sig), but with talk of Hardware 5, perhaps it would make sense to buy it (because we'd get a free upgrade to it).

Currently, if you fall asleep or become incapacitated, FSD will eventually just stop in the middle of the road. FSD 12 now knows how to pull off the road. I wonder if it will pull over if all the nags are ignored.

Nick (see sig) has full-coverage rubber floor mats. All the pine needles come out with the mat when I remove it. Tessie has carpet mats, which are cozy, but the needles get around the mat, so I must both remove the mat and clean what's left behind, as seen here (don't judge me!): Are there...

Any clever ideas for lock sounds? I think I'll go with a voice saying "Locked!"

The holiday update includes Apple Podcasts. This is what happened when I tried to activate it: 1. Scanned the QR code on my phone 2. Shared the resulting URL to my iMac 3. Entered the URL 4. Logged into Apple using my Apple ID 5. Got this: 6. QR code still displayed in the car. 7. Rebooted...

Nick (see sig) upgraded to V2023.44.30.2 today, and my four strikes (accumulated over 1.3 years) have been reset to zero. Yay.

I just tried the high fidelity park assist, and I'm disappointed in it. The display is fun and perhaps more accurate than the previous version, but there are still no warning tones for objects to the side of the car. That is, I can bring my sideview mirror to within an inch of the side of the...

I've been using the Tesla Android app on different tablets for three years. Today, when I checked, on my Google Pixel Tablet, to see if the new version was available, I saw this: The app still works perfectly on the tablet. Anyone know anything about this?

We've discussed how there's a tradeoff between lessening LFP battery degradation (don't charge to 100% often) versus preventing BMS decalibration (charge to 100% frequently), but I haven't found any information on how bad the BMS calibration might get. Here's the experiment I'd like to see...

One road I travel frequently has been open only to one-way traffic for several years as repairs were done. During those years they had automated traffic lights or a flagger. Recently, the road was repaired and opened to full, two-way traffic. The traffic lights are gone. On FSDb...

Today my Tesla app display on my tablet has much less information that usual. The display on the phone is fine and the display for our other Tesla is fine. Missing information: Charge limit, remaining time, kWh, Voltage, kW, Controls, Climate, Summon, Security and Drivers, etc. Anyone know why?

I have the Modern Spare tire for Nick (see sig), and I'm considering the StanceMagic Spare for Tessie (because it's $120 cheaper). Anyone have that? The main complaints on the reviews are that the jack doesn't get low enough when closed.

We're going to add FSD to Tessie (see sig) via subscription. She has software V2023.27.12 [Correction V2023.44.1]. If we order the subscription, will it be delivered immediately (in the past you had to play games with versions, etc.)? How does the beta signup work these days? Is the...

TLDR: Our Vredestein Quatrac Pro XL tires lasted 50K miles and were excellent but noisy. The original tires that came on Nick (see sig) lasted for 29K miles. I replaced them with Vredestein Quatrac Pro XL tires in July 2021. They have lasted until 79K miles, at which point they are close to...

Yes, I'm probably overthinking this, but my tires are close to the limit in terms of tread ware, with the driver rear tire at the limit. I'm getting new tires in two days (Hankook ION EVO), but I would like to make two drives totaling 200 miles before then. It will be raining heavily. My...

It happened again yesterday that sounds (e.g. FSDb on sound) were really quiet for no known reason. I recalled the solution: turning Joe mode on then off fixes it.

I've taken our car to touchless car washes twice, and the results have been spectacular (I'd do it regularly if there were any in our area). What are the reasons one couldn't do the same thing at home? That is, use a pressure washer and not actually wipe the car with cloths?

With recent software releases, many of us have noticed that when wipers are set to auto, they occasionally activate even when the windshield is completely dry. This is a problem for me—I find that this happens a few times per hour of driving. My car's (Nick's) windshield is quite pitted such...

RESOLVED: My testing was flawed because the car was either too close to home or Exclude Home was selected for one of the driver profiles. Walk-away lock works perfectly with my phone but fails to lock the car with my wife's phone. This happens with both of our cars. I've rebooted the screen...

My wife and I use the same Tesla account for driving the cars. I'd like to add 2fa to the account via my authenticator app. Do I add Tesla to the authenticator app on her phone as well as mine? Will this work?

This may not be true in areas like LA where there a lot of Teslas, but where I am, it's the golden age of charging. I have never had to wait at a supercharger, and I've never had trouble getting access to a hotel destination charger. I always leave a note on the dashboard with my phone number...

I wonder how this recommendation came about:

I swiped left to go from info on Nick to info on Tessie (see sig), and this red banner appeared. Anyone know what it is?

I got a third strike after using FSD for about a year. I started thinking about striking out and how bad it would be to have drive the car myself, especially if it happened on a trip. Then I realized that even without FSD, I can still use Navigate on Autopilot which does most of the things I...

I found a dead mouse in Tessie's Frunk (see sig). I've got traps that work well in the garage, but what are some effective countermeasures you've used?

My daughter's family will be visiting. Will we be able to fit three adults and two car seats in our Model 3? The kids are aged one and three.
