What do you mean by "decent wheel rates"?

100% correct.

So I managed to capture some CAN bus traffic while driving over a rather annoying speed bump. I believe I've captured all 4 height/position sensors, vertical z-axis acceleration, and damping currents(%?) for compression and rebound. Front springs take a compression force, the damping signals...

MobileClimate: I can see some "service.tesla.com" information (electrical and repair procedures) on my cars via my Tesla Service account but some things are blocked, like interactive schematic tool. Can you tell me what I need to do to get expanded access and maybe see the TheoryOperation...

Never mind, My mistake, I didn't realize this would be covered up by the old style chrome piece.

IMO, most people would not want to try this method given ANY other alternative. I suppose it will be a good conversation starter though.

The mobile service tech who replaced mine broke both tabs during my upgrade. I told him ahead of time that I wanted to keep the old ones with intent to repair and resell. He couldn't promise they wouldn't brake and he failed in that attempt. Seems he was trained only to go in from the back if...

Interesting that all of a sudden the Ride Height is being displayed in Inches rather than millimeters. Not sure if this came with yesterdays beta software update (2023.27.6) or not. I do have a pending service appointment scheduled for them to look at the height leveling discrepencies so there...

If you aren't noticing any difference between any of the different mode choices then there is a good chance you have something wrong that can be fixed. It should be a different level of unpleasantness at every setting. With any luck you find find the least worst intolerable setting like the...

Tesla sure does charge a lot of money for access to online service documents. I remember when they only charged $50 per day, then it was free for a while, now it is priced too high for the DIY crowd.

It looks like we need a subscription in order to view the images. Can you post the .jpg images directly?

Thanks, that was very informative and aligns with my understanding. It sounds like many of us could benefit by having a Ride Height Calibration performed. Now how do I convince Tesla to do this under warranty???

We are still waiting for you to report back on what you've learned.

I have a 22 MSLR and the comfort mode feels bouncy with little damping and the sport mode is too much damping. After 12k miles it seems that it got less enjoyable to drive. Other than your PWM investigation there is virtually no information out there on the electrical operation of the damper...

While I'm not exactly sure, it seems to me that "Handling" settings affect how aggressivelly the car 'adapts' to changing road conditions. The "Ride comfort" settings are baseline settings that get modified as you drive. That said, nothing I've tried has made the car pleasant to drive on poor...

I have 2022 Model S LR, 19" wheels, delivered December 2021, cubby lights wired backwards, same poor suspension that's been reported. Mostly too much travel and bounciness in comfort mode, Some stiffness improvement in Sport mode (less bouncy). My suspension settings map can be viewed here...

Not sure if you figured this out or not but looking at your video it appears that you tapped into the Blue and Yellow wires. According to a schematic I've seen, the Yellow is ground and the Blue is the control signal. These colors correspond with the REBOUND dampener control.

The rear display does not get disturbed when they fix/replace the center console. The whole console can be removed and the rear display stays put.

What year model is your car? SC just told me it's not covered under warranty.

I can't tell any difference but leave it on just the same. Maybe it is more noticeable at higher volumes.

For my lower light to operate, the sliding cover must be in the fully open position. It turns off though, if both the sliding tray and cup holder are extended. The upper sliding tray light turns on when extended, turns off when cover is at half position, but turns back on again if cover is...

I had a similar experience where they were done with the car, certain that they fixed it (this time). Too sunny for me to verify so I drove away skeptical. Sure enough, it still wasn't right when finally checked it. Two days later when I went to complain, it was working correctly. Must be a...

It seems to me that the car will go to the lower position at a certain speed, however once you manually set it back to medium it will not go back to low for the remainder of the drive. This assumes that you don't have the 'always default to low' button checked. Regardless of setting, the very...

The console console bin lighting being backwards is a manufacturing defect that can be fixed. Everyone that has eventually gotten it fixed had to leave the car with them for a day or two. The technician needs time to dig deep into the problem and often consult engineering about how to fix it...

Smart summon is very fickle and only sometimes works if you are in an empty parking lot with no people around or in an open field. Ground must be flat with minimal slope, gps coverage must be excellent, and phone signal just as strong.

Even if this happened they way you say it did, it is entirely your fault for letting it happen. I curbed my wheel on day one as have many others. Curbs are difficult to judge and Tesla will most certainly not fix it for free. Sorry you had to learn this the hard way but take comfort in that...

You are expected to intervene early and not play the game of "let's see how it handles this situation". If you've got an active warning, disengage immediately. Letting things play out is a big no-no.

If it happens more than twice and you've reported it, then you should pre-anticipate/prevent future failures from happening. Part of the job is learning to recognize where not to use it.

News flash: FSDBeta is not reliable enough for general release. You had to beg to get early access. If you weren't ready to accept the risks and constructively report near-misses then you probably should opt out of the program. Many of us experience the same issues and handle it easily. We...

Saga Update: All of a sudden my console lights started working more intelligently. The extended tray light turns off when covered. The the lower bin light doesn't turn on if both the tray and cup holder are extended, even if sliding door is full open. Must of have been a software push... no...

it's normal for it to disable if weather is creating problems for the camera.

Excellent advise provided by others. My recommendation for new beta drivers is to avoid the temptation and habit of taking your hands off the steering wheel. The car will sometimes panic and jerk the wheel abruptly, especially during turns, lane changes, and at times it may try to go around...

Stop everything! A licensed electrician would never put 6AWG wire on a 100 amp breaker. Double check what is written on the two fattest wires. If it is actually 6AWG then consult a different electrician before you do anything else.

When I zoomed into the photo it looked like THWN-2 on the wire but perspective wise it looks like thinner wire. Correctness is assumed if installed by a licensed electrician but one never knows.

Yes. I skipped over the parts where you should verify power is off with a volt meter, where rubber gloves and shoes, use the one hand rule, safety glasses etc... Also, when I say tighten down hard on the screw terminal, it doesn't mean so hard that it breaks the terminal. They do get brittle...

Most likely the silver screws holding down the wires aren't as tight as they used to be. Weak connections get hot. Go to the circuit breaker and turn it off. Get yourself the appropriate insulated screw driver and tighten down hard on the screws holding red and black wire. Get some insulated...

My latest experience with Tesla Service resulted in them 'fixing' my center console bin lighting. Invoice stated they corrected orientation of 3 micro switches. The result is that now the lower BIN lighting only turns on when lid is fully open. The sliding Tray lighting turns on when...

Model S Refresh: Console related harness wiring diagram changes show change to X1127 Switch and additional wiring X982-pin 9 to X032-32 input to controller module. After 02/2022 the High-Side Drive power to the console LED's is managed exclusively by the controller. Prior to that, it is not...

My best guess is that there was a chip shortage at the beginning so they built controllers that weren't as smart as they were supposed to be. There are wiring harness and part changes that do not appear well documented. It seams reasonable that problems could be due to installing a different...

Yes. If you look back in this thread there is a diagram showing how it is now being made. It looks like the change happened in Feb, 2022.

Here's another tip. You can download the entire wiring diagram as a PDF file which makes for super fast offline viewing. Bad news is I now see why newer Model S vehicles have smart operation of the console bin lights and that early buyers do not.

Breaking News: Tesla is offering free one year subscription access to service documents. Not sure how long this will last so sign up now before it's gone! Tesla Service Use it to access wiring diagrams related to the operation of your center console lighting. Just last week it cost me...

Once level 4 autonomy gets approved, you'll be able to do whatever you want with the screen.

I've found the keyfob almost always works, and the phone almost never works. I have an android phone, maybe it has more to do with the phone software update than the car.

Please describe the situation; driving speed, traffic, intersection, sun angle, time of day, # of passengers, etc... Was beta acting confused at the time and might you have been super alert looking outside while hoping the car would figure it out? It is my belief that Tesla wants let...

https://teslatap.com/modifications/extracting-internal-vehicle-data/ Referencing your photo and the info above, I believe you are describing moving from pins 18 and 19 (next to black) over to pins 9 and 10. This works in the sense that it connects to the vehicle but there are only a few things...

I originally tried connecting to pins 18 and 19 without success. The OBDLink-LX just didn't connect to the vehicle however the manufacturer informs me that it will work with a 500 kbps CAN bus, Something more flexible than ScanMyTesla may be needed to figure out what is going on. Else there...
