    Lake Placid Supercharger Eclipse

    Just wondering what people are expecting the lines will be at the Supercharger in Lake Placid this weekend while the area experiences the crush of Eclipse chasers? I'd normally charge up at my camp, but the recent snow makes getting to the camp problematic.

    Anyone visit the Ticonderoga, NY supercharger?

    Found it on Plug Share, seems to have opened at the end of March with Magic Dock. https://www.plugshare.com/location/574353

    Anyone visit the Ticonderoga, NY supercharger?

    Actually the charger I'm looking at is technically in North Hudson. Ft. Ticonderoga is the "area", sorry. ABRP is reporting it, and Tesla is also reporting it. Last fall when I went by the location, it looked like nothing was happening with the facility. The Frontier Town Gateway was still in a...

    Anyone visit the Ticonderoga, NY supercharger?

    Has anyone had the opportunity to visit the Supercharger listed at Ticonderoga, NY? It shows up on the Tesla web page as being at the old Frontier Town Gateway. This location was not there last time I went "up north" and Plug Share does not show the location. Just wanting to confirm the...

    Palisades Parkway NY question

    That's what I thought also, but further on north, where the traffic thins out quite a bit and it's in a more rural (no lights) area, the issue doesn't repeat itself. This is not a big deal seeing as how FSD never bails, but just a curious thing.

    Palisades Parkway NY question

    I've noticed the past few trips that my side cameras report being occluded in the same location time and time again. Just wondering what could be causing this issue. Driving along the Palisades Parkway in NY, about 4 miles north of the intersection with I87, pretty consistently, I get the...

    Time of Use and Cold Weather

    Thanks for the explanation, that saved me getting the dongle and determining that I was chasing gossamer windmills. It was my understanding that the "precondition" setting on the Departure Time option would also precondition (warm) the battery to optimal driving temp, in addition to warming the...

    Time of Use and Cold Weather

    I do use scheduled departure when planning trips and it works very nicely. But we're not on that regular a schedule (retired), so it's only useful on the occasional road trip. Your suggestions about using a 3rd party app to regulate the time of charging reminded me that TeslaFi has this...

    Time of Use and Cold Weather

    Interesting observation on the mass of the battery vs the cooling. I hadn't considered that, but I would expect that the battery. over the course of 5 hours (2pm-7pm), would cool off, especially when it's cold (below 32F), hence the need to reheat the battery for charging. I'm guessing that...

    Time of Use and Cold Weather

    I have Time of Use electric billing with high peak time between 2pm and 7pm. I have the App set for scheduled charge at 7:15pm However, most of my car use occurs early in the day so when I return home, the car sits not charging until 7:15pm. In the warmer months, that's not a problem, but now...

    Emergency Lights alert

    Yesterday I started to get warnings "Autopilot speed limited for emergency lights" while using FSDb on my MYLR 2023 HW4. The car would begin to decelerate. The warnings went away when I tapped the accelerator, but then came back a few moments later. Repeated the tap, warning disappeared, then a...

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    Yup, got 2023.32.4 today also. FSDb - welcome back!!

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    Yeah, could be a bug fix I hope. I picked up my MYLR 3rd week in August. Started having camera issues, autodrive is disabled, and of course no FSD, let alone FSDb. Service told me is should be fixed in 2023.32 that might come out soon. I saw the lone MY on Teslafi, so if it's a bug fix, I...

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    Same here, traded 2020 MYLR with FSDb for 2023 MYLR on 8/21, opting to transfer the FSD as per new policy. Got the email that the transfer was completed. Now I'm seeing the message about FSDb available on a future release. I understand the causes of the delay as explained here. but I MISS MY...

    Two questions about a new Y

    Thanks for the reply. The PPF on the front and bottom door panels was something I did immediately when I got my MY in 2020, so I'd be doing it again. It has saved the paint from many a rock chip (at least there are none now on the car after 48K miles, many on dirt roads) I was not given mud...

    Precondition battery when going to 50Kw charger?

    That is correct, it is a non-tesla charger. I don't know who provides the hardware for this location, but it is free (and very convenient) so I don't really pay attention to the screen other than look at the rate of charge and to press end. I'll check next week.

    Precondition battery when going to 50Kw charger?

    Thanks for the replys. The charger in question is about 2 hours away, so the battery would never be in a "cold" state. I've never done the drive/charge in the winter, so I don't know if the charge rate would be impacted, I would assume it would and in that situation, I'd allow the car to...

    Precondition battery when going to 50Kw charger?

    Thanks for the reply. Every time I've used this particular charger it has shown a rate of 47kW. The other day when the car did it's "pre-conditioning" prior to arrival the rate was also 47kW. I usually show up at the charger with a SOC in the 30% range and charge to 80% (it's a free charger...

    Precondition battery when going to 50Kw charger?

    I noticed the other day when navigating to a 50Kw charger that the car attempts to pre-condition the battery for faster charging. It's nice that my 2020 MY recognizes the non-tesla charging stop as a charger, but is there really any benefit to having the battery pre-condition when charging at a...

    Manual turns with FSD by using turn signals

    What I'd really like to see is an option to adjust the amount of time before the turn/lane change that the turn signal is activated. So many times on NOA when exiting a controlled highway the car will turn on the signal just as it turns onto the exit lane, doesn't give the following cars too...

    CCS combo 1 adapter

    Got my CCS1 for my MY2020LR back in the summer and tried it out at numerous charger locations. It worked flawlessly at the very first location (free from NYS). The next location (EVGO) I couldn't get it the charger to work. at all. Did two road trips since then and used Electrify America...

    2022.44.30.5

    Finally got the chance to activate the FSDb feature (and yes, you can turn it off again if you don't want it) My first impression was that it was like a 13 year old behind the wheel for the second time. But, as a parent, I would be damn proud that my 13 year old was able to maneuver and...

    2022.44.30.5

    FSDb is only for "around town" driving, not highway driving? I thought I had read somewhere about a "single stack" meaning both "around town" and highway FSD had merged, updating the highway section with all the neural net learnings gained from the "around town" FSDb. Either way, thanks for...

    2022.44.30.5

    Got my availability notice today of 2022.44.30.5. I'm always cautious of the new updates and check here before proceeding. Now I'm a little confused about what I'm actually going to install. TeslaFi refers to FSD Beta 10.69.25.1 (2022.44.30.5) Official Tesla Release Notes - Software Updates for...

    2022.40.4.1 preconditioning changes NOT

    "LIKE it to?" Actually, in one situation, no. I live at the top of a mountain and have noticed that pre-conditioning the battery is not nearly as effective in producing regen braking capabilities as the old software. I hate the idea of having to use brakes going downhill when the car could...

    2022.40.4.1 preconditioning changes NOT

    Wow! All the responses to my original observation have been really helpful in furthering my understanding of what's going on with the preconditioning process. Bottom line is I'm withdrawing my thought that Tesla should provide an option to manually precondition the battery. The car is smart...

    2022.40.4.1 preconditioning changes NOT

    Well, my reaction to this preconditioning may be a result of driving long hours and having nothing else to do but think on the long stretches of I80. I may have had unreasonable expectations of the software update benefits. My "complaint" is that the car should be smarter. It knows the weather...

    2022.40.4.1 preconditioning changes NOT

    Got 2022.40.4.1 installed on my MY 2020 last week, just before I left on a trip from NY to Denver and was really hoping the battery preconditioning was fixed (according to the release notes). My real life experience with it, in chilly weather (20-30F), shows me it hasn't improved at all. The...

    Tire Rotation alert reset and TPMS reset

    About to get my tires rotated by my local guy. What do I have to do to inform the car of the different locations of the tires? Can't seem to find any reference to this anywhere (except the mention here). Does the car "know" the front left tire has been moved and adjusts the readings automatically?

    Going from 2022.20.8 to 2022.24.5 – radar removal or not?

    Read the notes on 24.6 and it looks like the ignoring/removal of radar is included. Guess I have to get on board. One concern - the notes say - "It will rely on camera vision coupled with neural net processing" Does the neural net processing depend on cell connection, like voice commands? That...

    Going from 2022.20.8 to 2022.24.5 – radar removal or not?

    Pre condition for small SC charging

    Just what I need, another scolding from my car! If it knew what I was buying at the Stewarts, it would probably scold me for that too! Wait... it probably DOES know what I'm buying. The internal camera analyses what I'm consuming and sends that info on to the mother ship to determine how much...

    Pre condition for small SC charging

    Pre condition for small SC charging

    Yeah I know that, but both methods are so "hit and miss" when trying to set the charge level to anything other than the stops at 10s and 5s. Is this a big deal? No. Just a slightly annoying quirk that could be so easily fixed via software. Maybe they'll get around to this once they've solved...

    Pre condition for small SC charging

    Based on everyone's response I gather there is no down side to cancelling the pre-condition in my specific situation. Good to know. On my past few trips, I've cancelled the pre-conditioning when it appears in the NAV display on the way to the SC and I still have a completed charge when I arrive...

    Pre condition for small SC charging

    I regularly make a 270 mile road trip (one way). While my (MY 2020) range tells me I can make this trip without stopping, I stop about 1/2 way through the trip to "top off" the battery just for piece of mind. I usually add about 10% and the charge takes less time than it takes me to discharge my...

    Supercharging newbie question

    None of the SC's appear to identify peak rates as a separate line item. They only display one rate and no matter what time of day I've looked, the rate is the same. This is in NY where "time of use" rates are not really pushed as far as I can tell. My local power company has such a convoluted...

    Supercharging newbie question

    Re the Peak rate question - I don't know. There was no indication that there was any "peak" rate was involved, just the normal $1 per minute idle charge. Is there a way to tell? Not having the rate available outside of the car is pretty frustrating. Taking a look at my bill again (to see if...

    Supercharging newbie question

    Gas around the upper Hudson Valley is about 4.79, so I guess I should count my blessings. Cost me over $50 to fill up my 2009 Forester yesterday! Yes, almost all of my charging is done at home and that costs about .16 Kwh (including delivery charges). My MY is averaging around 265 whm, so I...

    Got the same issue with my Android Tesla App 4.8.0=1-25. My wife's Android is on Tesla App software 4.7.1-927 and her view is the old one, close in. Both show the closest SC locations, which I really don't need to have be displayed by default.

    Car Colorizer Allows You to Customize The Looks of Your Tesla

    All the arguments about this are valid, don't want to discount any of them However, I'll try to be a little more constructive with a suggestion specifically about the colorizer How about linking a chosen color to a specific profile? Green car - my wife's profile, etc.

    Heat Consistency Worse After Update

    "If there’s one thing I miss about an ICE vehicle, it’s the fully-functional climate controls." Agreed! But I don't think it's the lack of ICE, I think it's about the software. I can get plenty of heat if I set the cabin to 78. My MY HVAC system acts as if, once it reaches the set temp, it...
