    FSD subscription

    Yes, eventually you will get FSD v12. No one can tell you exactly when. If you're on 2024.8.x you will have to wait until FSD catches up. Check Teslafi for information on software/fsd versions.

    FSD12.3.2.1 issues on first try

    I don't think an EAP subscription was ever offered. If you have EAP then the FSD subscription is $99. Maybe that's what you were thinking of?

    Finance under business

    You're looking Looks like you're right. Maybe it really can get the $7,500 for commercial use.

    Finance under business

    The cap is $80k for SUVs, no exceptions. $7,500 max. There is a different tax credit for commercial vehicles that goes up to $40k, but SUVs don't even come close to meeting the requirements.

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    I wonder what will happen for those who are currently subscribing to FSD. It would be interesting if they still charged for the month when non-subscribers get it for free. Maybe I should cancel my sub now.

    I’m scared to drive my new Tesla in the winter

    Those people shouting are right whether or not you will accept that. You wouldn't heavily brake when you slide in any other car, so why would you suddenly hard regen brake in your Tesla? Now you want to complain to the government... because you are braking too hard. You can learn to let off...

    Phone Key and FOB - keycard still required to drive

    I noticed a while back that whenever Sentry was triggered the vehicle would require me to either manually unlock from the app or use a keycard. I decided to get a FOB because members here had done the same for this issue. The same issue still occurs sometimes. That's not even the problem that...

    TuneIn hacked my credit card

    You don't need to scan the Tesla for viruses. That's not where the issue is. If you have this issue it is on your device that you are using to visit the QR link.

    TuneIn hacked my credit card

    I just checked the QR code (took a screenshot of your QR code and scanned it) and it goes to the correct tidal page. It's not the vehicle. I believe what you are experiencing is that your device (phone, computer, etc) or network was hacked or is somehow redirecting to a fraudulent page. Check...

    Interior Camera

    While parked you can view the interior camera from the app. Most smartphones have a screen recording option. Not an ideal solution, but it will record the video.

    Auto Pilot to FSD BETA in 7 hours

    You get that screen immediately, but you have to select beta and agree to the terms to activate it.

    You did. Just not at a supercharger.

    FSD subscription question

    Put simply, yes you can subscribe to FSD, but be aware of what FSD is versus FSD beta. Many people subscribe assuming their car will drive itself around any street, but only the beta will do that. FSD will basically add stop sign/traffic light control, lane changes on the highway, and summon to...

    FSD and New Users: When?

    The toggle button won't work if you aren't on the correct software. I didn't get it yet, but others have, including new owners. I previously had the beta, but unsubscribed right before the NHTSA issue. Resubscribed and waiting on the update.

    FSD and New Users: When?

    FSD beta v11.4.1 (2023.7.5) is starting to roll out now and includes new users.

    Driving on NJ Temporary Plates in Maine

    If it's legally registered then you can drive it out of state with the temp tag. In NJ there is no inspection for EVs, so there is no sticker.

    Fsd subscription

    I believe that is only true if you cancel within 48 hours of purchasing.

    Fsd subscription

    FSDb 11.4 (2023.6.15) has started rolling out. So now it's just a matter of how quickly they mass release it.

    Fsd subscription

    Tesla has said that 11.3.2 (2022.45.11) addresses the recall issues. The problem for most people waiting for FSDb now is that they are likely on a software version that is past that already. So you would have to wait until FSDb is in a newer release if that's the case.

    Sentry and Dashcam not working.

    Update: As I searched around it seemed that not many people were having this issue. That lead me to believe that this may not be a software bug. I finally realized that the error was on my end. I thought that my drive had plenty of space on it, but it turns out it was full. Not sure why it...

    Wait for a software update to fix it and until then don't stick your head in the window as it's closing.

    Sentry and Dashcam not working.

    2023.2.12 with the same issue. I don't think it's a drive or formatting issue. I suspect a bug is back. This happened last year after an update and it turned out there was a memory optimization issue that prevented the usb drive mounting process. Same behavior. Removing and reinserting the drive...

    Wall connector install

    I paid $2,160 for a wall connector, 100 amp sub panel, and generator overload protection device. The sub panel is about 50ft from the main panel. I hired an electrician from Tesla’s list.

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    If I thought it was that bad I wouldn't use it. It's not perfect, but if you're using it as intended it isn't as bad as people make it seem IMO. I get nervous as a passenger with most drivers to be honest. Sure, there are some who are bad enough that I won't get back in a car with them, but...

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    Yes, it is very likely that the update will be a version with beta. If you’re inpatient and have good cell service you could use your phone as a hotspot to download it at work.

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    I was really unsure, but just went for it and I’m so glad that I did. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty predictable and gets the job done. It’s really wild having the car stop at a sign and then make a sharp turn by itself. I was planning on just getting it for the month, but may just have to...

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    That is true, but the beta versions are caught up to the "regular" versions right now, so there shouldn't be a long wait. I was on 2022.44.25.3 when I requested the beta. After the 36 hour wait I went out to the car and waking it prompted an update check. That's when I received 2022.44.25.5...

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    Yes, usually within a couple days after requesting beta you will get a software update to a version with FSDb. In my case it took 36 hours after requesting to get the update.

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    Yes, the vehicle has the same hardware whether or not you buy FSD. There is no difference if you buy or subscribe other than the pricing.

    What is beta mode for tesla?

    What were you doing when it shifted into park? Did you hit the button to engage park? Any chance you shifted your weight off of the seat? What speed did this happen at?

    Battery consumption, is this normal?

    Totally normal. Short trips are less efficient. Preconditioning will improve efficiency, especially when it’s cold out.

    Automatic Turn Signals

    I just got the update today and can confirm that this is not true. You must be confusing HW3 with MCU3.

    Dog mode with inside cameras on FSD beta

    If you are on beta you will be on a software version with beta. This generally means you are behind on updates. You will have to wait a bit longer than people who are not in the beta. Eventually you will get the new features though.

    Automatic Turn Signals

    Where did you hear / how did you find out that it doesn’t work on MCU2? I saw that it requires HW3, but I didn’t see anything about the MCU being limited to Ryzen only (MCU3). Are you maybe confusing HW3 with MCU3 or is this really a limitation?

    Regen braking - Clicking feeling and weak at times

    It’s definitely possible that it could be fixed in an update. In my case it doesn’t happen most of the time and doesn’t seem like a safety issue, so I will definitely hold off on a service request unless it gets worse. Just a minor annoyance when it happens.

    Welcome! And sorry for the delay in getting a response. This section of the forum is a bit buried, so less people see it I assume. Congratulations on your upcoming Model 3! You will love it!

    Regen braking - Clicking feeling and weak at times

    It has always made some level of clicking when going into hold at a stop, which is normal. I assume this is just the same mechanism, but for some reason it’s a bit stronger of a clunk. Maybe when it’s cold out it’s just more noticeable.

    Regen braking - Clicking feeling and weak at times

    I know exactly what you are referring to with the click/pop during regen. What software version? Do you have the option to apply friction brakes when regen is limited activated? In my case I am on 2022.44.2 and have it activated. Only felt it two or three times, all in one drive. Haven’t had it...

    I have a huge library of games in Steam… And an Intel Atom in my Y. 🤦‍♂️

    Is now the worst time in history to order a Model Y?

    Prices may change, but it’s hard to predict that. Features will change. Next month, next year, the year after, and so on. If I needed a car I would buy now.

    5-day-old Model Y suddenly shut down

    Agree on the antics 100%. Also agree that Tesla fans tend to be more defensive. That being said, I also believe that Tesla gets way more criticism than other brands (both true and untrue). I don’t defend everything related to Tesla. I just think that trashing the brand/vehicle quality based on...

    5-day-old Model Y suddenly shut down

    This can happen with any vehicle. I have experienced a full vehicle shutdown in a Range Rover with zero warning - in the middle lane of a 65mph highway. Not even enough time to move over. Dead on the spot. Never had an issue with my Y as is the case with most owners. In this case he at least...

    How to wash a car during winter season? I do not have a garage, live in a condo building

    I only mentioned my experience to point out that I’m not just repeating general internet info. Like I said, fine for most people. I prefer to avoid scratches as much as possible - just my preference. White is definitely more forgiving, that’s true. But no scratches at all? Not if the car had any...

    How to wash a car during winter season? I do not have a garage, live in a condo building

    I have sold many thousands of detailing products. I have designed custom paste waxes, designed custom microfiber towels, etc. So I’m not just stating this based off of third hand info. If there is dirt or debris on your car and you rub it, there is no avoiding micro-scratches. Rinseless wash...

    How to wash a car during winter season? I do not have a garage, live in a condo building

    In winter (because the hose freezes at home) I take my car to a self-serve wash bay at the local car wash. If you’ve never used one, it’s basically a pressure washer that lets you select different modes (wash soap, wheel cleaner, water rinse, etc). I avoid automatic washes to prevent paint...
