Still no cones or cans. Now all I see (and only sometimes) is light grey 2-D squares on the road visualizations as I pass them. I tried FSD again today on a 55mph highway and it seemed to only want to drive with the tires going over the very most rough areas in the lanes making the drive...

That isn't far from the truth. I worry about many folks in my own generation.

So, what happened to the visualizations of all the orange traffic cones and the garbage cans? Is it just because it can cause too much visual salad during FSD driving? I really hope the system does see those still. Another quirk I noticed the other day was that an ambulance passing through the...

Have you set the MPH above speed limit allowed to xMPH (or percentage) in settings?

Any movement on this SC and the Buc-ees?

License plate. :cool:

Good info! One more thing I learned from this post, and while looking it up at Google maps, that an "International" airport is directly behind the Meijer.

Been raining for three days straight here and I wondered the same thing. They're still wonky IMO. Just give me an infinitely adjustable speed slider and I'll be happy.

In regards to enhanced visualizations, I am wondering what parts of this will persist after the 30-day trial ends. I got TWO software updates in the last several days, one day apart. The first had the enhanced greyscale wide view (even behind if you rotated the screen car 180 degrees) that...

Ice storm? Did the window easily drop when you tried to open the door? That's the kind of weather that makes me wonder why frameless windows are still a thing on sedans and SUV's.

At least two out of three model 3's and Y's I pass or see in the customer parking lot do not display a front plate here (Chi. suburbs). Oddly, most of the S drivers do have a front plate mounted. Of the Y and 3's without front plates, I occasionally see a plate sitting on their dashboard.

R2 (and R3) :rolleyes: Rear passenger-side charging ports? Consider they've had plenty of time to think through NACS, the Tesla SC experience, and yet, they place it there? As a Tesla driver, my first response was a face palm. 🤦‍♂️ Someone at Rivian isn't paying attention, though they've even...

The new car firmware should now tell you that the battery is cold and needs X minutes to preheat before it begins charging or ramps up as you plug in.

A year ago, my 4K rebate took a little more than three months to process. Have faith.

There’s an app for that. Scan My Tesla is one of them. But agree that info would be best on the car’s screen.

If I am the first car stopped at a RR crossing, the screen displays a constant parade of trucks passing in front. I'm not too worried about that; I sort of find it amusing. I would be much more worried if I was a FSD customer and the car thought trucks were train cars.

Once fixed, and they will at n/c hopefully, check the tab at the back of the floor cover to see if it might have been stuck between the back of the car and the hatch door. I have a love/hate relationship with that thing.

I have found that when the car is set to Sentry Mode, the phone app "un-ghosts" the car icon very much faster, and so far in the last couple of months, the car responds reliably to the phone key function when approached. I have no idea why, since sentry operation from the phone is operating on...

For an accessory on a Tesla, it isn't all that expensive. I chose it because at the time it had a good reputation, was easy on and easy off. For washing bugs and cleaning the front of the car, the cleaning aspect was the main consideration. Tesla's own glue-on solution was a bad idea, IMO. The...

:rolleyes: These damage pro-con arguments of one frame vs. another frame are absolutely insane. If a multi-thousand pound vehicle backs into the front of your Tesla, or if the front of your Tesla bumps into another vehicle, no license plate frame of any design is going to influence the expensive...

Had a mobile service call last summer. Of course, they needed to get into my car. Car was "off" and locked. He arrived a couple minutes earlier than planned. I went outside, the back hatch was already open and the insides had already been removed to get to the inside part of the side tail light...

Exactly! Holes? Who wants holes? Mostly nobody. A Q.R. Lic. plate holder solves most all issues.

Tesla can't decide on their own to turn on the functionality of the matrix headlights. USA/North America and Europe have different laws allowing their use and certification.

If you're there in the morning, there's also Sunny Side Diner a few more minutes down Main Street to the west. 🥓🥚🧇

Very interesting. Chicago has a lot, even though they have the densest housing with, what I would think, not-as-likely infrastructure to charge at home.

Eeek! 🚗 🔥 🚒 😱 Was that your own video?

Agree 100% with the above comments on design and usage problems. And.... any official word from Tesla about any of this mess? < crickets > I took the Y out for the first time in a week since it was cold-soaking outside (no garage), but plugged in. Just had to! Got all the way up to the mid...

Like I said, I didn't verify the numbers. The VLOG must have been wrong. My Y Illinois plate from Dec. 2022 is in the 50K numbers, so pretty much debunks what I heard. I will say that the numbers have gone through the roof since standard trim Y's have been in the $40's. Anyway, to tie this...

Learned tonight on a pretty reliable YouTube VLOG, that in 2022, Illinois had 19,000 new EV registrations, whereas the new registrations in 2023 that number had grown to nearly 90,000. That's new yearly registrations, not the total registered Illinois EV's one the road, which would be a larger...

Oakbrook is V3 with 8 stalls. Eight, unlike the TV show title, isn't enough. Not even close. At midnight it isn't unusual to see 6 of 8 stalls in use. Very popular location. There will be another one built about 1.5 miles away next year, and that won't even cover the need. Even peppered on the...

Well... I think they're suspending the rentals for more than one reason, as Hertz is getting rid of their EV fleets (read: Teslas) due to perceived increasing repair costs and dropping resale values because Tesla keeps reducing the prices of new cars almost every quarter. This charging debacle...

I've even seen pieces of wood stuck into L2 J1772's and some other odd thing in a Tesla NACS handle when out there. Yes, people are horrible. Makes me want to put together a Charger Fix-it Kit™, which would include, among other things, a wooden hammer to help knock out crap found in or on...

^ watched that earlier, and Kyle and friends make some good points; many which we've already pointed out in this and other similar threads. I can't help but to think that in a week, or soon, that EV owners that haven't yet gone the L2 route will cave. This will completely overwhelm electricians...

People dropping the charge handles and not re-attaching them into the holder really bugs me. They do that in the summer. But dropping the handles into the snow when they're done in the winter is a horrible practice and clogs the contacts with ice.

Sort of, but I'd call it more of a useless old almost collapsing shed without any electricity so, no. There are a lot of things on my want list; a decent garage tops the list. 😆

Actually, a portable heat gun is not a bad idea, but I'd also add a can of compressed air as well. Melting snow into water might just let it run into somewhere else where you wouldn't want it to go, maybe actually freezing the charging handle into the charger receptacle. Be careful. This pic...

Odd that no one has even brought up what will happen next year, or later this year, when non-Teslas are trying to also charge ⚡ at SC's. I sure won't mention it. :rolleyes:

Short term temperature-wise, we're not out of the woods here in Chicago. Lows the next few night are: Monday -12ºF (tonight) Tuesday -12º Wednesday -2º Thursday 8º Friday 0º Saturday -7º Sunday -10º After that, some relief. This isn't going to get fixed very soon, methinks.

Kyle did a great job reporting the Colorado EA situation last season, didn't he? They needed the shaming he gave them, and it has probably helped to get the company that operates them off their butts. I wonder how it is out there right now as their temps are very similar to last year? My L2 has...

News is news, and we're used to the reporting not digging further to get to the truth. Unfortunately. But to your second point, how about someone checking their app in those parts of the country we know are experiencing these temps for many days in a row. Is it only Chicago? Are there other high...

I wonder why these stalls are marked inoperable. Is it because they really are broken, or is it because there's a bricked car blocking the stall? I'm sure it is some of both, but I sure hope it isn't the former.

Fishy? Did you read post #24? That is official real-time Tesla Info.

Dunno, unless they're burning them in 55-gallon barrels to keep warm. Neg. temps for entire week.

Many, many Tesla S.C.'s are broke or out of order and closed completely around Chicago area. It isn't a good look.

Wow! Glad I have home charging! Just checked my app looking into Chicago area SC's. Good Golly! These are just the stations in my immediate vicinity. There are many more locally that are either closed or nearly closed. This is a big news story locally, and it isn't a good look for Tesla or...

This is getting nuts. I was on my favorite radio station just yesterday, starred as a favorite, changed stations to another favorite and starred station, then wanted to switch back and it had disappeared. I again had to pull up the entire local listing, select it and the re-star the thing. Why...

I have been hesitant to tell the car to "Keep Summer Safe" based upon that now-famous episode in Rick and Morty for that very reason. Sometimes undocumented upgrade features aren't found until it is too late.

Except for the DNA part, what you describe is how a Tesla already works. Doors will unlock, the selected music automatically starts playing; seats, steering wheel and mirrors are automatically set to each individual driver, headlights turn on/off when needed, wipers will... (or might not - they...

Hmmmm. We were thinking it would have been at/near the P.F. Chang's or Yardhouse. That corner in there somewhere. But Target is OK. Not much to eat except Harry Caray's. Would be nice to have round the clock bathrooms near.

Article I just read only mentioned the Y LR. So, if all models have had their range spec. altered, and I can't believe they've suddenly changed out all the battery packs overnight, might it be due to the EPA cycle changing in 2024, or a response to pending litigation action?
