Hi, I have an X Plaid and a 2021 Y, and 2021 Y has 2024.2.7. Looking at TeslaFi, it seems there are no Model 3s with 2023.38.9.1, so I think you will receive updates soon. Is your firmware download setting Advanced? Advanced = earlier software update.

Oh, maybe it's my misunderstanding. Please let me know if the Cyclones fit with your X! I already bought another set of OEM 20-inch wheels.

For Cyclones, yes. Is your new X Plaid? The brake caliper size on the Plaid is bigger. Cyclones + Plaid didn't fit (the wheels didn't clear the brakes). Some people in Japan say Cyclones + LR fit, but I have no personal experience.

Yeah, @MP3Mike may be right. I had two-partitioned USB stick before, each for sentry and music. Now that Steam make only two partitions and doesn't allow me to modify the partition size, I have no idea how I can coexist Steam, music and sentry on one physical SSD.

I have the same problem. Some commenters do not know how Steam on Tesla Model S/X works, so here's some additional information. When installing Steam on your Tesla, it repartitions the whole physical drive into two partitions, making the first 64GB partition for sentry and the other encrypted so...

Updates are sent based on vehicle model, version, and configuration. TeslaFi offers statistical data on which type of vehicle received which update. According to TeslaFi, 124 vehicles currently have 2023.38.9.1, and 44 cars have already received 2024.2.3 (which I have) and have been installed...

Hi, I can't believe the drive unit costs so much! I had a warranty replacement of the MX rear motor, and the invoice was like this. The rear motor assembly itself costs around 900,000 yen.

BYD is using the traditional dealer model to satisfy Japanese customers. Numbers show that BYD is doing much better than Hyundai, which employs a direct sales model like Tesla. Many factors affect the low Tesla sales figures in Japan. I believe one major factor is insufficient service. Since...

I had a 2017 MXP and upgraded(?) to 2023 MXP. My previous winter rims were Tesla Cyclone 19 for Model X. I had hoped that these rims fit the new MXP, but they didn't. Some of my friends said they fit the new MX LR, but in my experience, the rims didn't clear brake calipers. I also read this...

Last October, I got my MXP and installed the OBDLink LX with the new cable. It worked fine as before, but the cubby space is so small I can't stow the adapter and the cable inside and close the door. Read this thread - and found Scott drilled a hole to pass the cable. Is there any way to put it...

I felt the same way - I.e., if the SOC is under 50% and the car is parked for some time, the SOC drops for standby power. I believe this is because the battery is getting colder, and voltage drops due to cold. You'll see higher range drops while parked at SOC 20% or 10%. It is not from...

Thank you for sharing your installation photos! Which model is this? Model S/3/X/Y? I had a 2017 Model X and replaced the speakers at Focal Kisarazu: https://www.focal-audio.jp/ But now I sold it to Tesla and bought Plaid. I wouldn't say I liked the woofers and sub-woofer of the old Model X...

So, can I just rename the WiFi router SSID to "tesla-vehicle," and it works?? I will try later today.

Hi, just an anecdote, my old Model X didn't get the update, so apparently, this update is for HW3 with AMD processor.

OK, I finally decided what to do with all this equipment. - Amateur radio transceiver 15A - Blackvue Dashcam 2ch <1A - Blackvue backup battery 5A - Rader detector <1A I will ask my installer to connect all devices to the front accessory socket in parallel, and install a physical 12V disconnect...

@4SUPER9 , I know. I don't use Sentry often. I'm only interested in reducing the vampire drain by constant-on LV devices, such as dashcams. I'm now convinced that a small Power Magic battery on an always-on LV connection would consume more power than without because the Power Magic would pass...

I have no information about this retrofitting US charging controller with EU charging controller, but I found this thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/retrofit-ccs-compatibility-onto-earlier-na-model-3-diy-approach.251046/page-3 There are a few TMC members who actually did this.

 @vcor , I'm still wondering whether I'm wrong about my assumptions. I thought the Power Magic would cycle its battery and not pass through, but it makes more sense for the Power Magic to keep its SOC highest while the 12V source is intact. This means it would keep draining the LV battery after...

@vcor, @HP Man, I know the Power Magic wastes energy, and it's not 100% efficient. I also had no issues other than battery drain for nine years. That said, the wasted energy would be BIGGER if I connect the Blackvue directly than via the Power Magic sub-battery. While the car's HV battery and...

I purchased my first Tesla in 2014 and have been using Blackvue with a 12.0V voltage cutoff since then. My car wakes up several times a day, and I believe it is because of an excessive 12V battery drain. With Plaid, IngineerX (YouTube) explained that the car closely monitors the battery current...

Hi, I will take the delivery of X Plaid in October in Japan (finally). It's LHD and comes from Fremont, so I assume it's mostly the same car as European Plaid. I need two low-voltage power sources. 1. Always on power for my Blackvue and its battery (Power Magic B-112). 2. Switched power for my...

I have the same issue. I have also been using TeslaFi since almost the beginning and know how sleep works. With this software version, nothing works to sleep the car. At least, during the deep sleep mode, the vampire drain is limited, so I think the vehicle IS sleeping if I stop the polling for...

So looks like I'm called out... :-) In Japan, there are two address systems. Make it A and B. System A (Chiban system) identifies the owner of the land. You can't use it to send cars or deliver mail in some locations because one address could be one mountain or a vast rice field with many...

Will it be complicated to access the penthouse and connect to the DCDC on refresh S/X, like Model 3/Y, under the rear seat?

Bumping the thread - I would like to know also where to find the 16V source at the DCDC converter, on Plaid.

Welcome to TMC! https://tocj.jp/ Tesla Owners Club Japan (TOCJ) is another community of Tesla Owners in Japan. They have offline meetings if you are interested. No forums (mailing list and Facebook only).

Yes, your understanding is correct. Hmm, I think it's the charger manufacturers' oversight that it could default to 50A. Also, if you are charging already and if somebody with higher max amperage arrives and starts charging, your amperage will get dropped if you have Dynamic Control :-) They...

@NamaDenki CHAdeMO introduced a protocol called Dynamic Control that allows chargers to change the maximum current of the charging session during the session. It wasn't possible before. The Tesla CHAdeMO adapter didn't support this. The charger manufacturers stupidly implemented their Dynamic...

Welcome, @Yama0023 !

@vitaliy Hi, I live in Tokyo, and I can help a little with your questions. As Jay said, most young Japanese people in Tokyo don't have driver's licenses. Some people have, and they mostly use, rental cars, charged in 15-minute increments. https://share.timescar.jp/fare/use.html # In Japan, we...

My previous condo parking:

Looks nice!

Existing cards will NOT be affected.

@Beta V Hi, did you finish your installation? I'm currently using ID-52 on my 2017 MX, but upgrading to 2023 MX later this year. I'm also thinking of changing from handy radio to a mobile rig, but these days, mobile rig choices are limited. I'm very interested in your passenger seat installation...

I believe the Model X doesn't have trunk height adjustment from the beginning—2017 MX owner. I had Model S/3/Y, and all models have trunk height adjustments.

About the RHD situation for Model S/X, I'd like to see the impact of each country affected. UK legally allowed, but a bad choice for Tesla because nobody wants it? JP legally allowed, some consumers actually prefer the LHD, but some do not. NZ legally not allowed, so no sale AU? HK? So here in...

@bary, welcome to the forum! I don't have any personal experience, but I found this post on Facebook...

Today, I asked the professional installer to set up a motor-drive antenna base Diamond K9000 on my 2017 Model X. Originally, I planned to place the base on top of the trunk (the highest position), but the installer pointed out that if I opened the trunk *and* the FWD at the same time, it would...

Hi, Barry, Teslas are still not very popular here. Half of the passenger vehicles are Kei cars, which are microcars with a max of 4 pax, costing $10,000-$15000 or less. Y is getting traction but is too wide to fit in the mechanical parking in city condominiums. It will take time. Re; HF - I...

Hi, reddy, thanks for the comment! >vandals Nothing to worry about! I'm in Japan and I have never heard of it :) >garage entry Yeah, that's the real concern here. Even now with the antenna mounted low, I hit the parking garage roof with the antenna a few times already. I will try my best...

Have you contacted the service center? They can analyse the adapter at least in Japan.

Normally cars are not allowed to use turn signals or doors for the uses defined by the law. The Japanese government is not happy Tesla vehicles use the lighting systems for fun.

I have been using the setup for a few weeks, and I wish I could have more antenna gain. So I decided to mount the antenna on the top of the trunk. K416 didn't go all the way there. And another issue: the antenna gets too high, and I would need to remove or fold the antenna every time I park at...

@Beerimar, welcome to the forum! I'm not an expert here, but I know only a few who imported US Teslas in Japan. There are a few issues with your plan. - The cellular modem is different in Japan (we need the ROW version), so if you can swap the modem and replace the SIM card, the car can connect...

> Japan regulatory approval delays? Mostly, yes. The government requires Tesla Japan to describe each change in detail and get approval per release. Also, the government sees Tesla as cars while parked, so they think Tesla vehicles should comply with laws about external lights (like flickering...

OK, professional installation.

No, because I was a bit worried about the mount's stability at high speeds...

After using this setup (Diamond NR950M + Comet RS-720) for two days, I found a critical problem. It's hard to see in the photo, but I realized I couldn't unscrew the antenna from the base when I tried to remove the antenna for a car wash. It felt too tight, but I unscrewed it by loosening the...

Another update: today, I got a Comet RS-720 antenna base, so I replaced Diamond K416 with RS-720. Their sizes are similar. The base's clamp is wider than K416 so that it could clamp both to (1) the lip and (2) the top of the trunk. I thought 2 would be a better location for maximum gain, but...

Update: Diamond rep said I need to talk to a professional installer, which doesn't exist in the central Tokyo area. I have to drive 24 miles to visit the installer. After some research, Comet (another antenna base manufacturer) has similar products. https://www.comet-ant.co.jp/product/1841/...
