Tesla Fan Bros are weird, man...like.... Again...I add a post to a perfectly appropriate thread about the topic I'm discussing and these two Tesla Fan Bros are like "DON'T FALL FOR THIS GUY'S POST!" Like...what? Fall for my trick of...POSTING A FACTUAL ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME with my...

What are you guys even talking about? Fell for what??? I stated what Tesla charged me to replace the side mirror and solicited other owners for their experience to compare prices and also to solicit their opinions about why Tesla can't just replace the internal motor assembly, which a few...

All, There are a number of videos online showing the skullcap can be pried off and the interior motor assembly replaced, and there are used Tesla side mirror interior motor assemblies all over the internet, eBay, etc. In my case, the passenger side mirror *motor* assembly on my 2020 Model Y...

All, My passenger side mirror *motor* assembly on my 2020 Model Y went bonkers after a recent cold snap and would no longer fold and unfold properly. There was no physical damage to any visible parts, I didn't hit anything, etc. The mirror itself would still respond to up/down/left/right...

The point is that the oily residue and dirt will come right back sooner or later. The issue is defective anodized and/or coated trim. Yeah, you can wipe the grime off with your fingers, but it will return. The andozization and/or coating that's defective is what prevents road grime and oil...

A lot of people in these Tesla trim discoloration threads say it's easily removed. However, my experience was that it returned almost immediately regardless of which of the various methods I used. I'm happy they didn't argue with me and just replaced the defective, substandard Tesla parts with...

Yep, the Sterling, VA Service Center replaced all my window trim at no charge. The advisor said this was a known issue in vehicles made before Nov 2020...and mine was made in Sep 2020. In Nov 2020, they supposedly made some change to the anodization or coating process or something, or at...

LOL...the current hardware is TERRIBLE since disabling radar. My Model Y used to work just fine in rain and fog, holding lanes and speed without incident on the highway. Since the absolutely awful "vision only" nonsense disabled my radar, I constantly get "Autopilot speed limited due to...

I came here to post the same article. Here it is as a gift link: https://wapo.st/3TtVv0T This article confirms what experts and industry watchers have been trying to convince legions of Musk fan boys of for over 18 months. Specifically, Musk made them rip out radar as a cost-cutting measure...

LOL...in what ways does Tesla's "Autopilot" dissapoint? LOL Let us count the ways: - Since disabling/removing radar, it becomes totally non-functional in many rain and fog conditions that formerly were no problem. Much of the time, it pops up errors such as "XXXX camera blocked" and limits...

I wouldn't buy ANY Tesla now. For one thing, they've told the FCC they're putting radar back in within the next couple of months. That's certainly because "vision only" is a disaster that doesn't work even in light rain based on my radar-disabled Model Y experience. It was really a way to...

The fact this nonsense is *still* going on over two years since the Model Y rollout tells us what a joke Tesla's build quality is. They've made no real progress on tuning up their production line. Build quality, fit, and finish remain, in the words of one well-known reviewer, "abysmal." I...

I find this bit hard to believe. Are any portions of these "500 mile" trips at night and/or light fog and/or rain of any kind, including light drizzle? Since Tesla all-but-disabled the radar in my Model Y, I've found Autopilot to be highly unreliable except in perfectly clear, dry conditions...

The Model Y line is *still* having these shoddy assembly issues??? Totally unbelievable. When I went to get my Model Y in Sep of 2020, it was garbage, with some parts literally *hanging off* the vehicle (e.g., driver's side A-pillar trim was detached, nearly every panel grossly misaligned...

Concur that Tesla made a ridiculous decision here, in keeping with a series of them in recent software updates. By the way, I've actually had Autopilot *disengage* due to "limited forward visibility" when I simply do a windshield cleaning with the wipers. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes...

Will he definitely miss the boat on the $7500 credit? I think it's back on for Tesla for quite a while under the new law, isn't it? Also, even if it does expire before he can get a replacement vehicle, he should force Tesla to discount the price. I wouldn't accept the vehicle, personally...

P.S. Below is a list of all the bug release Tesla software variations out there now... LOL. Come on, Tesla...get it together...re-enable radar in vehicles that have it, admit you made a mistake and the "vision only" thing was all about supply chain problems getting radars, and fix this. In...

Yep. Autopilot in my Model Y was disabled for the last 3.5 hours of a 4-hour drive this weekend due to unspecified "system errors." I have a 2020 Model Y running 2022.44.25.3. By the way, LOL @ Tesla's ridiculous number of bug release versions at all levels of the software tree in recent...

Agree. The main screen display element that can be toggled between battery percentage and range is totally useless because it's totally inaccurate. It can get a car -- filled with a family in winter! -- into a dangerous situation if they misunderstand it. That's why I always leave that toggled...

Again, there a *TONS* of people who continue to complain about Tesla's auto high beams being terrible, it's not just me. And I'm not even the originator of this thread. This is a community-wide issue of frequent discussion. And, again, this thread was started *a few days ago* not months...

What are you talking about, dude? THIS VERY THREAD started with a person stating auto-high beams in their Tesla are "...still comically bad..." that was started on...*checks notes*... this past Friday. LOL Is your logic that the originator of this thread and the many other people who agree...

Sure thing. By the way, I forgot to mention that the XC40 can be ordered with SiriusXM satellite radio, unlike the Model 3/Y. It's true satellite radio (yes, with the rooftop antenna Musk hates) so it's great for areas with poor cellular connectivity or blockages. The Google Play store...

What about my "input" is no longer correct? Can you be specific?

Happens to people all the time. In fact, the reason Tesla was forced to add the single "ding" and double "ding" method of distinguishing between cruise control (TACC) only mode and full lane-keeping Autopilot was due to some accidents in Asia, and at least one vehicle owner sued because it...

Elon Musk isn't paying attention to Tesla-related tweets anymore. He's busy baselessly accusing Twitter employees of pedophilia, forcing entire families to flee their homes for fear of their personal safety as his army of online stalkers makes death threats against them.

I can't recommend the Volvo enough. Our all-electric XC40 is faaaaaaar better built than the Model Y, and the cabin is much more refined. It has an electric retractable sunshade, the extra display in front of the driver that you only get from Tesla in the Model S/X, physical buttons for a...

Ok, great...but I see no evidence of this occurring in my vehicle and, if it did, it clearly didn't do the trick, as all four windows were frozen shut and totally inoperable. Also, I was pressing down on the window slightly to see if we could get it moving, and it seemed like faaaaar more was...

The problem is that new "unlatch the doors from the app" function is totally useless if the Tesla's windows are also frozen in place, which prevents them from doing "the drop" that allows one to safely open and close the doors without shattering the windows. You'll see a post from me a few...

All four doors and windows on my 2020 Model Y were frozen shut yesterday during the cold snap. We were in a hurry to get to a medical appointment, so we knuckle-punched the front door handles to at least get the doors open. The problem, of course, is the windows were frozen so they couldn't...

Yes....thus forcing the driver into yet another mandatory monitoring and action task they didn't ask for. The need to manually shut off the poor-performing "auto high beams" every time one engages Autopilot is similar to many other features of Tesla's "Autopilot"...it doesn't really reduce...

Concur. They're awful. The fact that Tesla forces auto-headlights to be on when on Autopilot is ridiculous. Maybe Tesla's programmers could spend more time improving them as opposed to better "fart apps" and "light show scheduling". :rolleyes: By the way, the auto-high-beams on our Volvo...

@TAKV Gaming You're not the only one who's confused. The new setup is bizarre. Now, it seems as if one has to use *both* parts of the music player. When one selects a source in the mini-player, it looks like one then has to switch over to the right side to select from among, say, TIDAL...

He said "high resolution"....not high-powered. And yes, the new radar they registered last year and which they're about to put back in is better resolution than the old one. HOWEVER, many people (myself included) never bought the bogus story that "vision only" is superior and that's why...

ME: "Guys...I'm an aerospace engineer and scientist with experience in multi-sensor fusion and have owned a Tesla Model Y for over two years. I'm telling you this car is getting worse and worse without radar being actively used and that "vision only" is a bad idea." A THOUSAND MUSK FANBOYS ON...

I don't think driving at night in mild to moderate rain is an "edge case". Also, I always think it's funny when defenders adopt Musk's language of "edge cases" and throw it at any situation where a Tesla performs unpredictably. It's a term he learned from one of his software engineers and...

Yes, I mis-spoke. What I was trying to say is that the thing wouldn't cruise control properly and kept slowing down continuously, while limiting the set speed due to "Poor front camera visibility". When I used full Autopilot, it would do better at keeping up speed, but still wouldn't let me...

I don't think the ability to use rudimentary cruise control when driving in rain -- instead of needing to have continual pressure on the accelerator -- is "fancy".

All: I just drove my Model Y for the first night time drive in light to moderate rain for the 1st time since accepting an update to one of the supposed "Tesla Vision" builds. Ooooh boy...it's not looking good for Tesla. Note: I recently jumped from software version 2022.20 to 2022.36.6. The...

The seat bottoms in my Model Y are comfortable, but almost *all* Tesla vehicles suffer from the seat backs being far too tall and the head rests in the front seats being non-adjustable. They seemed to have located them at a height appropriate for people who are at least 6' tall. It's kind of...

We have both a 2020 Model Y that we've had for over two years and an all-electric Volvo XC40 Recharge that we've had for over a year. The Volvo is, hands-down, muuuuuuch easier to drive and much more comfortable in almost every respect. We almost never drive the Model Y anymore except for...

Yes, that's the Aerotwin model number aI bought. Returned them immediately and just bought the actual OEM Tesla blades. If there's some simple removal and switch operation, great...but again, anything that requires using blades or dremel tools to make them work is a non-starter for most people...

Yeah, but most folks just want to change their wiper blades without having to use a Dremel tool...lol. It's insane that Bosch and others still aren't offering a OEM-equivalent Tesla solution. Are you absolutely sure one can take the adapters off the stock Tesla wipers and put them on the...

@Bob2C Which month was your vehicle made and which Model is it? Do you not have any of the discoloration at all? If you do, how long before it comes back after a wash?

True, it's not a defect that warrants a recall from the NTSA or anything. However, the fact they made an apparent change in Nov 2020 -- or know that the problem dates to vehicles made before that month -- implies they recognize there was an issue beyond just "sensitive to some car care...

Sorry to say this, but I believe the discoloration will likely be back within days. I've cleaned it off a few times and it comes back within hours or days each time. It's either the material itself breaking down or road contaminants adhering to the trim, or both. The reason is likely because...

I'm re-opening this thread. I have a Model Y with the "degrading black exterior trim" issue and scheduled a service appointment for it. At first, they offered a "goodwill" cleaning. I pushed back a bit and pointed out that I'd already tried delicately removing the oily, iridescent film on...

Meaning...not at all...in which case *human drivers* then know to fall back on experience, understanding of the effects of precipitation, road feel, vibration, the and other inputs and methods that aren't available to the Tesla software at all. Tesla's "neural net" training is an attempt to...

All: Everyone keeps stating that this latest update to "Tesla Vision" has the effect of "removing" radar or "disabling" radar. Again, as discussed -- and argued about -- in many other threads, it is NOT clear that "Tesla Vision" has ever actually "disabled" radar. There has been a lot of...

What are you talking about? Can you explain what you mean when you say Tesla is using "photon parsing" with regular cameras? I have no idea what that means. Are you referring to Tesla somehow using raw data from the focal plane arrays in their cameras to somehow measure distance to objects...
