Battery warranty is minimum of 70% while in warranty period. 4% more and they have to replace. Did you test in service mode?

Beta testing of Smart Summon should be Costco parking lot on a pre-holiday Sunday afternoon. If no one gets maimed, theres no need for additional AI training.

Great to hear. I just ordered for my 2021 MYLR after my OEM 19" Contis died. $1231 out the door from Discount Tires since I had purchased 3rd party Discount service certificates.

You get a message saying thanks for sending and participating in bug reporting. I'll try a screen shot next time.

Tesla needs an equivalent to the Ford Model T which, when introduced in 1908, cost the equivalent of less than $25K, thereby making automobiles economically accessible to regular folks for the 1st time. Government subsidies for EV adoption wont but last forever so the $25K MSRP is needed to get...

Just finished 1100 mile road trip on I10 between Phoenix to Houston running on 2022.44.30.10. I've had FSDb for a while so know the foibles, but this is clearly a step backwards. There were at least a dozen phantom brakings where speed dropped by 20 mph or more, mostly early morning or late...

Yes,turning radius of MY is one of its negatives. Specs are 12.1 m (39.8 ft). Way above average for similarly sized SUVs.

Beta is focused on getting the core self driving functionality working well while the non-beta release continues to improve the bells and whistles around an earlier more stable but less robust version of self driving. When beta is distributed to all later this year, we'll all hopefully have a...

Brilliant piece in Slate about former (laid off by Elon) Twitter engineer and cartoonist who devastatingly nailed Elons takeover and management style. Twitter needs reform but he lacks empathy and respect. https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/elon-musk-twitter-cartoons-manu-cortnet.html

Much better than 10.69.1.

I was able to get free subscription to the service manuals but I am unable to download them. Are the available only on-line for viewing or is there a PDF or HTML format that I can actually download so I have them after my 1 year free subscription expires?? And how would I download them to PC?

Ever notice how usually the headline is “Tesla crashes” while for any other marque its “man crashes his SUV” with no mention of the brand?

True. But hands free.

Actually does work on straight roads. Just apply little more leg leg pressure at 45 degree angle to steering wheel. Once drove 90 miles on an straight stretch of I-10 without an intervention on AP. Got nagged a few times but just applied more pressure to steering wheel with leg or grabbed it. Im...

I raise seat and lower steering wheel a bit so the inside of top of of my right leg just above knee is pressed against steering wheel at the 4 or 5 o'clock position with foot flat on the floor. Just let AP turn the wheel and adjust leg pressure to provide just enough resistance to get rid of...

I think it just depends omhow backed up the SC is. Once, i got hit by a rock and got a big windshield crack within 20 minutes of starting a 1200 mile roadtrip. Rather than going back to SC closest to home, I drove to next SC on my route and threw myself at their mercy. They had time to fit me...

I find the voice commands to be very useful when driving since you don't have to be trying to look over at the screen to find functions and selections. However since the voice command are natural language without a definitive list in the user manusl and often with more than one command...

Thanks. Looks like Im good with CCS.

The adrenaline rush is great. As you say, its fun to get the heart pumping when youre driving again. I didnt have a pony car growing up so missed out. And don't you love leaving some kid in his exhaust belching pickup in the dust when he looks over and you know he's thinking grandpa/grandma!

Can you please elaborate on how to tell if my 2021 MY LR can support CCS and how to enable it?

Great responses! I do understand concern that we old timers may not not be around by the time FSD works perfectly. But we know its always going to be a work in progress and maybe Elon time will improve over dog years.

I m just waiting for Teslas CCS adaptors to be sold in US so I can use non-Tesla EV charging as a back up on road trips.

I’m a senior citizen and know most Tesla drivers are much younger than me. But Teslas have many benefits for drivers my age which arent articulated enough to encourage other drivers in my age group to dump their ICE cars. I havent seen much discussion on this topic. If Tesla was smart, theyd...

Used to feel that way. But I feel pretty safe in Autopilot on long drives. Dont worry much anymore about fatigue, falling asleep, driving in rain, or my poor night vision on roadtrips in my MY even though im a senior driver.

A little sad the feeling of being part of the first adaptor community is dissipating as more Teslas are on the road. :(

Living in AZ, i find it invaluable and use it nearly everyday when i go out. Its reduces heat noticeably and adds privacy, e.g., when i snooze at a rest stop on a road trip. I also use it when dog is in the car and in dog mode, because its less likely that some do gooder who sees the dog and...

I dont know about driving. Houston to Denver is a 2 1/2 hour flight and nearly 15 hour drive. If youre traveling very leisurely then drive because FSD/AP makes the drive much easier and way less stressful. But if your time in Colorado there is finite as with most of us, then fly if money not an...

Thanks, although I’m in Scottsdale I just dont get to downtown Phoenix much since I retired :)

Has anyone with FSDb used it in downtown Phoenix over the Light Rail tracks? Was wondering how it might handle the street lanes that cross the tracks along Jefferson east of 7th St. I still even get confused driving those lanes.

Do you still have the extra UMC 2.0?

All these posts reinforce my opinion that there is still much confusion about capabilities of AP, TACC and FSD Among Tesla owners old and new. Ive had my MY LR for year and a half and still get confused sometimes. Tesla needs to simplify and redefine the terms used, improve the user manual, and...

Try Evsea adaptors. Out of stock now but supposedly coming in by June 21. https://www.evseadapters.com/products/nema-14-50-adapter-for-tesla-model-s-x-3-gen-2/

One more thing. LA to Houston is I-10 ALL the way. Straight shot.

I do Scottsdale to Katy (Houston suburb) along I-10 several times a year and will advise to just use Nav to guide you. Once you hit New Mexico, stop at all the SCs (especially Van Horn and Ft Stockton) until San Antonio since they are few and far between in eastern NM and West Texas.

Thanks all. My primary concern was the battery so it sounds like BMS takes care of keeping the battery cooled and safe. Cabin temps are always crazy here, in and out of the garage.

I live in super hot Scottsdale AZ where summer temperatures often exceed 110, and there are long stretches where it's above 100 for days, even at night. I keep my 2021 MY LR with a heat pump garaged and connected to Level 2 power via UMC 2.0 to NEMA 1450 plug, but there is no AC in the garage...

Google Tesla Model Y sunroof shade. Many vendors on Amazon and elsewhere.

You nailed it!

I believe in EVs but know I'm lucky to be able to afford my Model Y. There are so many people who can't afford most EVs or don't have home charging access (e.g. urban apartment dwellers) who will hang onto their ICE vehicles until cost or availability of dino fuel or parts becomes prohibitive...

I paid only $8K for FSD for my 2021 MY LR and don't think it's worth it yet. Yes, it "does" those things you mention but it does them imperfectly and unreliably. (If you're using Summon at Safeway on a weekend no one around you is safe.) I'm not using anything but TACC and Autosteer and even...

I know that Tesla is chsrging ahead as quickly as it can. But its obvious that Model 2 is a lower priority because it will be a lot less profitable like OEMs focused on trucks and SUVs instead of sedans.

Elon needs to get the $25K Model 2 rolled out before there can be broad public acceptance of EVs (at least Teslas) in the US. Even a RWD standard M3 is way beyond the budget of most Americans. Remember ICE cars were rare luxuries until Ford came out with the Model T for the "common man". We...

Heat pump also makes the AC more efficient in Hawaii as well as in my AZ.

Did you ever get the UP mild springs installed? If so, have they improved the ride?

We’re at Sept 10 and no FSD Beta update evident. Feeling kinda dumb for hoping that Elons timeline would be real this time. And obviously no broad rollout of new version in a couple of weeks either. He is always overly optimistic and FSD Beta reveals show real progress, but im feeling that...

I'm owner of a 2021 LR AWD MY with FSD. Just finished 2200 mile road trip and finally found an easy nag defeat which doesn't require equipment or gadgets. This has probably been shared before on TMC, but I hadn't seen it so wanted to share if it might be helpful to others. If I brace my thigh...

Don't feel bad, i've had my MW LR AWD (with FSD) for 4 months and still have questions about AP, NOA, FSD and under which conditions TACC, autosteer, auto lane change apply to each. When MS and MX owners chime in about EAP I get even more confused.

I took delivery of LR AWD FSD MY (VIN 105xxx) on January 10. It was a 2021 and lacks updated headlights and trim. Came with software version 2020.39.10 and am still waiting for upgrade to 2020.48. I checked frequently but no update was pending. When I call Tesla support they tell me that...

I picked up my LR AWD MY a week ago. It's a 2021 model with VIN 105xxx. It has software version 2020.39.110 which seems to me to be outdated based on what I see on Teslafi. But when I check software, message is that no updates are available. Wifi connection seems ok. I did soft reset but no...

I just picked up my 2021 white LR AWD Model Y with 19" induction wheels last night in Scottsdale AZ. VIN 105xxx. Fit and finish was surprisingly good although will reinspect today under daylight conditions. My SA had said he believed it would have refresh features but although it has the...
