Yea thanks i figure 110 degree summer days here in the southern Utah desert might be a good edge case. Or maybe I will opt for positioning the antenna on the glass below the high brake light.

I noted in your install video you installed the antenna between the glass and the hatch frame? Using double-sided 3M tape to secure it? Or the magnet? Is stress on the glass any concern or is there sufficient clearance? I’ve seen others take te approach of removing the antenna from its...

Awesome thanks for the quick response!

Following this and the related threads with interest, I have a 2023 MYLR, with Ryzen CPU. Why the need to do a board swap? Why not replace the whole assembly, bracket, enclosure and all? Assuming using the Plaid tuner 1622932-00-B. Thanks to all for their research and experimentation.

And the point I am making is … how big a deal is this, really?

So, if, for instance, i drive cross country to, say Toronto, that with my FUSC, I may not charge at superchargers commissioned after I purchased my vehicle? On which data do you base this statement?

As an owner who just transferred my FUSC from my 2020 MS to a new MY, I would not expect my FUSC benefit to extend to BP Pulse branded chargers. I would welcome, however, the option to use the BP network just as I do with CCS networks today. The redundancy adds an element of comfort which I’ve...

I’m doing the same, I placed an order for a Y LR last week, swapping in my 2020 S and moving FUSC to the new car. Picking it up tomorrow! I also noticed Fidelity does not play well with Plaid Finance, but worked around it. Key is to not wait until the last moment if you are funding from...

2023.27.6 have others noticed a regression here? Specifically, late or wrong calls for turns. Like “turn right in 500 feet” when you are traveling at 55 miles per hour, when you are less than 100 feet from the intersection. The one that got me today was on the freeway, at a junction of another...

In a text exchange with a service advisor after the issue resolved after a sleep, the advisor suggested doing a driver seat recalibration, found under the service tab on the touchscreen. If the issue recurs, I’ll try that.

2023.27.6 was downloaded and installed onto my 2020 Model S last night; this morning, the usual release notes were posted to the MCU. What was unusual was that these release notes were sticky. I could dismiss them, but they would reappear the next time i started the car. After the 3rd time...

Thanks, yes I do suspect it is/was a software glitch. I’m running 2023.7.30 as well. The next morning it was working fine. We’ll see how it goes.

Well this is a new one on me. Today, the drivers seat decided to not come forward from the easy entry position. Changing driver profiles, MCU reset, full power off, all had no effect. The seat back reclines, the seat cushion adjusts fine. Nothing jammed under the seat, rails are clear. No...

Our 2020 Raven LR+ is showing 271 Wh/mi over the last 2500 miles. Some mountain, some flat, mostly desert ( hot summers, mild winters) mix of freeway and town driving.

So this implies that this will work only with Teslas that support the key card, like later MY or M3 or refreshed S. I suspect I am out of luck with my 2020 S Raven, which only supports the key fob, right?

Since the upgrade to 2022.45.15 last week, LTE connectivity has gone flaky. Even if I parked the car in a strong (5 bar) environment, I get zero bars when I return to the car. An MCU reset or power off/on cycle will restore 5 bars after a few minutes, but back to zero when I start the car...

Hmm just for grins, it looks like about 15000 sq ft of solar panels would be needed to power one 350kW Supercharger. That’s about 1/3 of a football field. At peak solar production time (only a few hours per day). Neglecting efficiency losses, sun angle, latitude, etc etc etc. and how do you...

A tale of 4 roundabouts. I let 10.12.2 drive me home from Home Depot today, along route that included 4 roundabouts. Roundabout #1: This was a fairly gentle, 2 lane roundabout on a 4 lane parkway. My route took me straight through the roundabout, and had no conflicting traffic. FSD braked...

Yes, happened immediately after upgrading to 2022.4.5.21. MCU reset and power off reset has had no effect.

All this back and forth about CCS1/CCS2/Tesla/J1772/whatever reminds me of the Betamax/VHS wars way back when. Yea I know it ages me. ;-) Which is better? Doesn’t really matter in the long run because the charging solution when EVs REALLY take off will surely not resemble any standard we have...

Is there a comprehensive list of voice commands? I see Voice Commands , but one of the commands I commonly use “ drive to …” is not even listed there . So I figure there’s gotta be more…. Particularly interested in media / SiriusXM controls.

Except for the one in that America song about going through the desert. You are welcome for the earworm.

There are a ton of variables and nuances in this topic. Statements like this need to be qualified by which make, model, build date, software version, chargeport ECU version, etc etc etc.

Thanks for the hint, I’ve been annoyed by the loss of the energy graph while in the beta. The display space on both sides is largely wasted anyway. It was interesting though, that the energy graph would momentarily appear when in regen when regen is limited due to cold battery pack. More of...

Not an issue for me any more, Could be that portrait mode was designed purposely to hide the sig due to small screen size, makes sense. I can momentarily turn to landscape mode if I need to see a sig. Thanks for looking into it.

Yes! That works! Thank you

I find that user sigs are very important in setting context for a user’s comment or question, even more important these days with functional and feature differences between Tesla models and years. User sigs are embedded inline when I view threads on a computer, but when I view on an iPhone...

This seems to be fairly common. Although I don’t charge here frequently (approx 6 times per year) the gates are removed or disabled about 50% of the time…

Yep, downloading to my 2020 MS LR+ now.

There are indications that you might have the right hardware; if so it would be indicated on the sw page provided you have 2021.40.6 Reference Tesla CCS adapter activated in North America with 2021.40.6 software update “Not every Tesla owner will be able to use it though. In another recent...

I have one of these in my neighborhood, except it is mounted on a pole with flashing yellow lights that are manually turned on by crossing guards at specific times of day. FSD slows to the lower limit regardless of whether the lights are on or off. I’ve not had the nerve to test it with kids...

So to summarize, @JWardell has shown that Tesla’s CCS adapter, currently distributed in S. Korea, is simple pass through and requires an updated and enabled charge port ECU to handle protocol conversion. @rhuber has gutted his Setec adapter, effectively cloning the Tesla adapter, albeit...

Easy. Just turn on the FSD beta. Then you can manage the second coffee in one hand, and a breakfast burrito in the other ;-)

Yes, I've seen a lot of the big red "Take over immediately" on straight, wide open highway, even with visualization showing good lane lines. In each case, the road had a lot of asphalt crack patch, perhaps that was confusing the vision. Incorporating radar return in the algorithm would go a...

As that email is written, you can opt back into the "FSD Beta queue" which probably means driving your Plaid in granny mode for a week or so to requalify....

I got back a short while ago from a 650 mile round trip to Sedona, AZ. About 90% of the route was 2 lane rural highway; I used the FSD beta 10.4 about 50-60% of the time. There's a beautiful section of AZ89A south of Flagstaff - Oak Creek Canyon, mountainous and twisty. I drove that part, no...

Congratulations! I’ve seen reports that the app calculates and indicates score over 30 days, but the algorithm to grant beta access is a 7 day aggegrate. Yet several people have reported getting the beta simultaneous with attaining a 100 score. Not sure what the algorithm really is. Not sure...

This seems to be the case. There is a section of road near my home where Autopilot reliably drops to 30 mph despite the posted 40 mph, then speeds up to 50 mph at the next speed limit sign. I noticed that at exactly the intersection where the 30 mph change occurs, openstreetmaps indicates a...

definitely there are a lot of map defects, particularly when it comes to speed limit zones. Plus, many roads which are narrow with no curbs or center lines.

Totally agree, St G needs more beta testers. I never used to see roundabouts when I lived in California, I myself had to learn how to drive them when I moved here. C’mon, Tesla, I’ve got a 99 score, drop the download on me, happy to help:-)

Wow look at all these Tesla owners driving like grannies. ;-)

Some people, out of overabundance of caution, turn off the propane while on the road, but RV propane refrigerators are designed to safely run while moving down the road. Some tunnels and ferries require you to shut the propane off at the bottle before traveling in those areas, but otherwise...

Yes, that’s the crux of it. But to behave like that is to admit that they do not have the knowledge, and that is very hard for them to do. And when you bring evidence of the damage they’ve done, they do their best to avoid responsibility.

Is this - the need to place the car in jack mode - commonly known by tire shops? Are there many other makes/models which have similar requirements? sometimes it is difficult to babysit these shops. One time I brought my trailer into the shop, and during the discussion I was having with the...

I shopped around last spring, and was going to use Green Valley. Then COVID hit, and I haven’t gotten down there yet. I liked their offering and price. Maybe in the spring. 3m Crystalline. just to add, they claim a lot of experience doing X windshields, one piece. Some vendors use two...

Or... are these simply temporary units to support holiday travel? I would hope they precede a permanent site. I agree this is a more sensible location compared to the existing site up on Bluff.

What a horrible site. I visited it mid day, mid week last week. It is at the very end of a long, skinny, congested parking lot. One way in, one way out. See the aerial photo with the red “T” up thread of the construction site, it is accurate. It took me 5 minutes to get to the Supercharger...

I see the same behavior with HW3 and FSD. Depending on whether there is nearby traffic, or whether I have passengers , I will let it wobble and figure it out, or I will disconnect AP and guide it through.

by this, do you mean a delay in the IC lighting up relative to the MCU? This is what I am seeing on my 2020 MS, especially since the 2020.28.5. Seems to me prior to this release, the two screens lit up simultaneously upon opening the door.
