If this happened like you said, there's most likely a physical fault in the traditional braking system (possibly including fluids) that needs to be looked into.

My 2015 works fine too and I'm in Raincouver. I've heard the newer models use vision to detect rain and are hit and miss sometimes but the 2015's still used standard rain sensors.

Very cool, I wish we'd get something like this up here in Canadaland for when mine eventually needs it.

While my MCU1 doesn't seem to suffer as badly as yours does, I can empathize. I also feel that Tesla should just move our software to LTS-mode, security patches and navigation updates only. Or even better, give us the option to remove all the useless cruft like the games so there's more...

Well, the update fixed my USB album art and everything else is still working so I'm pretty much happy now.

Yes, use ABetterRoutePlanner, punch in as many values as you can, make it assume 90% degradation (my 2015 70D only has 95% degradation but better to be safe in case the previous owner didn't baby the car) and 95% charge at trip startand see what it thinks. The distance you've specified could be...

I dropped mine off in the morning around 8am and then it finished by 5pm the same day. It's improved things a little bit but still seems flakey.

I just want them to fix the MP3 album art and then never ever send me another update.

Roku is also under attack from all sides and losing access to things like Youtube and Amazon Prime Video. I really don't see what they offer that's unique to them.

Yeah, I doubled some lunch money and got out. That's all that junk was useful for.

RIVN at 119, sheesh. And crash to 98 so far.

Keep in mind that LTE was quite new at the time. AT&T only launched it in 2011, T-Mobile in 2013 so coverage was very spotty (think 5G today). Considering the lead-time for design, having built-in 3G connectivity was high-tech for that time. From what I can tell, the first car with LTE...

I mean, if you set up your very own 3G towers set up everywhere, then you would continue to have service. It's not like Tesla turned the functionality off.

Why not just take out just enough to cover your principle and then just enjoy the free ride afterward?

I used to think it was unethical to try to benefit off of idiots but I've been thoroughly disabused of this notion these past few years. It's absolutely necessary to take away as much power from them because otherwise they'll just use it to beat everyone else's heads. I hope this makes GME...

I wonder when the people, who were making grandiose claims about how it's impossible for the passengers to end up in the back seat after a crash like that and claimed that they were some kind of expert, will make retractions.

Are you able to test USB MP3 music and whether it displays the album art? Not seeing it yet on my MCU1

One day they'll fix the USB MP3 album art and then I'll never upgrade again.

I had it happen once. It started working again after a reboot. The MCU1 gets really wonky if you don't reboot it every once in a while.

Wish you were on the west coast :p

Couldn't have been that experienced if he didn't even notice his brakes fading and kept pushing until he crashed.

Is it hard to retrofit a heated steering wheel in general? It's the only thing I'd really like to add to my 2015.

They might not even be able to programmatically change how the (older) S/X does CHAdeMO. I'm certainly hoping that's the case so that it'll never be broken!

The 70D is a solid choice if the range is suitable for your driving needs and if you can get a good price for it. It won't have the drive unit failures common to the earlier Model S and is still very quick. The battery degradation seems quite good too (ABRP claims less than 4% degradation in...

I've used the Setec successfully on some of the BC Hydro 50kW chargers back when they were still free. I've encountered two different models: an ABB TerraUL53-CJ and the much more common AddÉnergie SmartDC (Flo also uses this). The SmartDC stations work reliably and I've never had trouble with...

I have it installed and as far as I can tell, nothing has improved :P

It's not unclear. If you drive a 2013-2020 Model S/X, you can get 200A. Everything else doesn't; there's no firmware shenanigans with this statement.

I was able to charge well on the Petro-Canada charger in Abbotsford, BC on firmware v141. I didn't upgrade since then since it doesn't seem like I'd get any benefit.

I got Tesla to look at it and they said nope. The wheels reset trick didn't work. Still no USB nor Bluetooth album art but I don't expect Tesla to ever fix it on MCU1.

Seriously? I'm going to go do that right now. Of course with my reboot issues, it might take an hour before it's back up but if this works I'll be so happy.

The only thing I want is for Bluetooth to not break itself over time, requiring a reboot. And for album art to work again. It's stable enough otherwise.

Lidar is very nice for ranging and verifying what you know but it isn't any better against elephants or hot tubs. In fact, it'd be even less able to tell what it is. I don't think true L5 is coming any time soon because it's still unclear how to program the AI to deal with so many...

As expected, the "absolutely certain" policeman was the actual liar.

It's OT after this but that calculation is the Eth>>BTC conversion I was referring to (Eth isn't suitable to be mined by ASICs which BTC is).

GPU mining is no longer profitable for BTC mining although if there's at least 8GB of VRAM, it could used for Etherium (to trade to BTC).

S&P 500. Did a war start (not serious, it's not as big as the image makes it)?

That implies that such frying can occur when using totally normal equipment? I would've thought they'd notice something unusual in the logs but if they didn't that's quite a surprise to me.

Service tech cleared the cache and pushed the firmware in again. Hopefully that'll resolve my issues so I don't have to try the next step of a factory reset.

So I asked for service from Tesla and they told me it's normal for reboots to take 10 minutes. I don't even know how to respond. It often takes even longer so I'm going to time it. [edit]This time it took 21 minutes for the T to even display on the screen.

How long should it take to reboot the MCU? I tried the scrollwheels reboot and 10 minutes later it's still not back on. I'm wondering if this is an indication of eMMC starting to fail. Interestingly enough, you can hear the system trying again and again as the HVAC system turns on for a bit...

Hopefully it can be repaired. You're much braver than I would've been.

3-phase yields 208 volts not 220 (and yes that does mean your 240V electrical appliances are 13% less powerful in apartments that are supplied by 3-phase)

In fact, it's been 120V since 1984 and most systems were 120V since 1950. I don't know why 110V persists when most people speaking of it are born after 1950.

Always great to hear a good SC story. Glad you were safe and that this was dealt with under warranty.

Everything turned green! Hurray!

"The driver told police the vehicle was operating in Autopilot, according to Oleksyk." Any bets that Tesla will check logs, go "no it wasn't" but then media will never report that part?

Thank you! I had wrote out similar math before on a non-Tesla forum but I hadn't expected to need to write it out here =) FWIW, for the no-supercharger, 50 miles per day scenario, I made the assumption that there would be occasional days where you could charge a little more than 12 hours every...

You could drive 50 miles a day easily on the regular 120V/15A outlet. If you drive 75 miles a day, an additional 15 minute Supercharger visit per week would be sufficient (matching the single fuel up you'd need with an ICE). Basically even in a bad situation, it's not really that bad.

Tested it at a BC Hydro ABB dispenser today and it failed. Since it was raining, I didn't want to try some more after three attempts. I'll let Setec know so if they want me to try to capture a diagnostic then I can.

Half Supercharger speed is what I'd consider "way slower". The Setec CCS adapter can get 75kW real average rate for the S/X and that's what I consider "not much slower".
