    MY will not automatically unlock

    I can also confirm with iPhone 15 and MY, that when iPhone is in back pocket, the MY does not unlock and I have to pull it out or turn sideway. In my front pocket, MY unlocks. When I walk away, BT connection is not detected at 15' or so and MY locks. I can live with it!

    Tech Support Hansshow Model Y 7.5 Rear Screen

    I have recently used the WhatsApp to contact Hansshow technical support for firmware updates to rectify persistent bluetooth staying on after departing the Tesla, and they are responsive and provided a fix....

    Apr 18 Software Update Bug affects Cruise Control availability and More

    I still get random "Autopilot Unavailable" when trying to re-engage FSD that was previously engaged on a city highway when I manually apply the brake because of a unsafe condition that FSD could not handle as I expected. The Tesla prompts me to report why the FSD disengagement and I do, then...

    Apr 18 Software Update Bug affects Cruise Control availability and More

    Yep, Autopilot/FSD not available event happens to mine as well usually on city driving and randomly becomes available after some point. Very frustrating and no way to report and hoping it is fixed an another update promised by Elon, who, IMHO, usually is not honest about planned availability...

    Anyone have State Farm Drive Safe?

    I have the Hanshow 9" display and I'm fairly certain that DS is seeing that interaction with Waze as a DS distraction! Ugh!

    Anyone have State Farm Drive Safe?

    I going to reevaluate and most likely cancel the 'Drive Safe & Save' option from State Farm Auto (SF). IMHO, there is an AI bot war between State Farm's AI driving analytics and Elon Musks dream of FSD perfection. Ugh, I loose having a computer evaluate another computers driving performance...

    Phone key in car - lock with key card

    As a former runner, I also disliked having my larger Apple iPhone Pro Max with me: Here is what I recommend, and I have all 3 options below with an Apple Watch with Cellular activated. You do not need watch/cellular to unlock Tesla (BT works), but it is nice to have cellular activated on...

    Model Y Rear Ended. Thoughts on total loss?

    I had a similar 3 car accident with my '21 MY, where I was the 1st car rear ended at a stop light. Damage to repair the body & paint was $11K and PPF/ceramic to same areas was $2.5K. I did not have any side panel damage as your MY shows. IMHO I doubt that an insurance company will total your...

    Backup camera in rain vs. Tesla Vision park assist?

    Tesla Vision Only is heavily dependent on the high quality resolution of the rendered image. This is dependent on hardware improvements which cars do not typical get new hardware, just software. Elon is h3ll bent on dying on this "Vision Only" sword, when all other military and non military...

    FSD 2022.20.17 Coasts forever from a posted 55mph Speed Zone to a posted 35 MPH Speed Zone

    The issue is NOT that the FSD speed changes to the posted limit, but that the car under FSD never uses regeneration and coasts for over ½ mile to get from 55mph to 35mph. In that time, many cities have their police sitting there waiting for speeders..

    Electrek Article: "Tesla says it is adding radar in its cars next month amid self-driving suite concerns"

    IMHO, this might be Tesla's internally developed proprietary 4D advanced radar sensors that Musk hinted about in one of his random midnight tweets. Who knows, but I imagine that pre new-radar equipped cars will be limited in their full FSD capabilities, leading some early adopters to...

    FSD 2022.20.17 Coasts forever from a posted 55mph Speed Zone to a posted 35 MPH Speed Zone

    Exactly!!!! I am baffled that Tesla's FSD Beta engineers have chosen to defeat regenerative braking when on activated FSD... It is so irritating and I have to turn off FSD at each slower posted speed zone and school active hours. How hard can it be to make FSD beta acknowledge upcoming...

    FSD 2022.20.17 Coasts forever from a posted 55mph Speed Zone to a posted 35 MPH Speed Zone

    The interesting odd behavior when driving under FSD Beta is it uses regenerative breaking to aggressively slow down for corners, stop signs, traffic lights, people, bikes, phantom ghosts, etc, but completely ignores using regenerative breaking for posted speed signage. It is very annoying in...

    Hansshow dashboard touchscreen

    Here is my list of issues with the Hansshow 9": Tesla Driver airflow is definitely blocked, but car's overall cabin temperature in summer is somewhat maintained if one lowers the A/C a few degrees to compensate. Speaker/Mic on Hansshow is a joke. Very frustrating that the Hansshow intercepts...

    FSD 2022.20.17 Coasts forever from a posted 55mph Speed Zone to a posted 35 MPH Speed Zone

    Hansshow 9” screen update file

    This V0.3.70/V0.3.10x version still has the quirky phone call issue. I'm hoping that Hansshow SW firmware engineers can fix the bluetooth routing to use Tesla's mics and speakers for phone calls and iPhone for CarPlay!

    FSD 2022.20.17 Coasts forever from a posted 55mph Speed Zone to a posted 35 MPH Speed Zone

    When I activate FSD Beta 2022.20.17 in a posted 55 mph speed zone and it accelerates to that posted speed and then when I encounter a posted 35 mph posted speed zone, the MY does not use regenerative breaking to slow down. The MY recognizes the posted 35 mph speed limit sign and automatically...

    Wireless phone charger replacement

    Phantom Braking - Fixed.

    How to you repair/paint wheel rim rashes

    I purchased Zink Wheels' Touch-Up Paint for Tesla Tesla Model Y 20" Induction wheels to repair a minor unintentional :mad: self inflicted curbie, and it matched my rim perfectly. Instructions are detailed and the paint is easy to apply and stays permanent.

    Tesla $7500 Tax Credit Coming Back?

    Crazy exclusions (MAGI, MSRP, Battery Composition, starts in 2023, only a limited list of Free Trade Countries, etc). Typical congress bill to reward only a few! Read more in the 'Tesla Tax Credit Coming Back?' Tesla Tax Credit Coming Back?

    Tesla $7500 Tax Credit Coming Back?

    Wow, the short list of countries with Free Trade Agreements (.eg No Japan, Africa, China, etc) coupled with exclusions for MAGI, MSRP and battery composition will certainly restrict many buyers. I expect that this will be a nightmare for IRS Compliance department to audit. Perfect!

    Beta FSD - Still waiting in Ohio

    Beta FSD - Still waiting in Ohio

    Still waiting in Ohio with a score of 99. Not easy to maintain since following too close and aggressive turning seem to be randomly assigned to MY as the kryptonite of FSD Beta Tesing…

    I am guessing that Elon is using the savings from this money grab to fund his pursuit of Twitter? :p

    Safety Score Beta Updated Today

    My MY Safety Score dynamically determines my driving score value just a point below where I would get the FSD Beta, no matter how carefully I drive! It usually picks either following too close or aggressive turning as the deductions of choice. Since the Tesla Score will not geo locate where...

    Beta FSD - Still waiting in Ohio

    I still have all 9's and nothing to show for being a 'Tesla Granny' driver with an occasional random 'following too close' or 'aggressive turn'! Elon is just teasing the rest of us standard FSD'ers with sporadic tweets of 'FSD Beta coming real soon to more testers' if it performs well in this...

    Door Pillar error message

    This happens to MY randomly and is very frustrating since the car is spotless. You have to wonder how Elon's 'All Vision FSD' will work 100% when one or more of the cameras are naturally blinded by the sun, rain, dirt, snow, etc?

    Beta FSD - Still waiting in Ohio

    I agree with you 100%. Just more Elon "Smoke & Mirrors" and I'm so disappointed in the minimal functionality in basic FSD for the price. But still hopeful & waiting like a child on Christmas eve looking upward at the sky!

    Beta FSD - Still waiting in Ohio

    I'm predicting that Elon (Tesla) will not approve ANY FSD upgrades to any non beta vehicles until the company settles with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the EU for multiple AP issues.. IMHO, Elon is not doing Tesla or vehicle owners any favors by publicly fighting on so...

    Beta FSD - Still waiting in Ohio

    Good information @SilverString. I'm guessing that these few lucky full FSD Beta drivers are probably located in Ohio's 5 major cities, like Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo and Akron where they drive mostly on the commuter highways. Unfortunately, I am in a smaller local Ohio city that...

    Safety Score affected while parking?

    The Tesla Safety score isa joke as the means to qualify for the functionality that I was promised and requested via the "button". I have a Tesla Safety Score of 100 now for over 2 months of perfect driving in my MY each day, using the standard FSD on my daily commute and still no FSD beta...

    Phone Key Disconnected Alert But Working Fine

    I, too, have just received a MY console message stating something like, "Phone key not detected, may not restart next time". This was very awkward since I was the only one in the car which had been driving OK, I did exit the car and it did open/start when I returned from shopping. I always...

    Lane Departure Warning Always On

    I wish it was, but this issue happens exactly right after an unintentional slight lane departure and my immediate intervention to return to the center of the narrow road. Tesla almost always then issues the persistent warring that Lane Departure Avoidance has been disabled, which is frustrating...

    Beta FSD - Still waiting in Ohio

    I am in '98' H3LL because of Autopilot's 'Unsafe Following' score and weight on the Safety Score. If I drive with FSD engaged with a max gap setting of '7', other trucks/cars on the highway swerve around me and cut back in front of me. Tesla's Safety Score dings me that I am following too...

    Lane Departure Warning Always On

    So let me get this straight, Tesla's golden engineers decided that when a driver mistakenly/inadvertently crosses over the lanes in which that feature is meant to alert the driver, one is warned, and then the 'Lane Departure' feature is disabled all together? This action is mind blowing...

    Beta FSD - Still waiting in Ohio

    I have a '99' score on MY 2021 since requesting to be in the FSD Beta Queue. The MY is still stuck at release 2021.32.22, ie No FSD Beta. I would have a '100' score if not for few nagging "Unsafe Following" dings because of Ohio drivers happily cutting in front of me when I try to maintain a...

    Keeping Tesla Wifi button in ON position all the time

    Elon stated that it would be available, he didn't say it would be designed to work as expected or intuitive :confused:. I have swallowed the cost of premium connectivity as I like to get realtime status and alter cabin climate remotely, which being without premium "always connected" makes it...

    Flat tire cost estimation (do they really charge $200+ for labor?)

    Judgement Day (FSD Beta)

    Elon: "Ready to release FSD to the masses?" FSD Developers: "Sure, we are so ready, 110% confident, born ready, sir" Tesla's Rain Man: "Definitely, definitely ready. E-L-0-N. My main man..... Uh-Oh!" Elon: "Delayed"

    FSD or ‘95+ driving’

    I agree! The Tesla Safety Score application is designed for adjusting Tesla's insurance rates. IMHO, it is not robust enough for all the valid reasons (as you mentioned) that one would get a lower score but still be a "good driver". I'm betting that Elon wants the FSD community to...

    FSD or ‘95+ driving’

    Neither! I bought the rights to use Tesla's FSD software in MY 1Q2021 and the product license did not contain a reference to a "Driving Score" pre-condition that I had to pass for use. This "Driving Score" calculation was created by Tesla and its' determination of selected metrics and...

    Safety Score and Auto Pilot

    Model Y Auto Pilot Nearly Unusable

    I have learned to cherry pick when I engage/disengage FSD on MY. Hoping that this behavior will diminish with each new update.
