It's now January 22, 2024. The last thing I tried was, while sitting in the car, on the iphone... bluetooth settings for the connection to the car, you can pick Only sync Favorites and Recent calls (not all contacts). Did that to eliminate all the possible things going on with the thousands of...

Nope, broken again... no new contacts, no changes from what I did on January 8th, but I did get a new car system update, ver 2023.44.30.8. This is so random and frustrating. The very latest is it loads recent calls but nothing else. Cannot tell the car "call XYZ" to call that person.

Fixed? I might have fixed mine for good, we'll see. During this last bit of editing contacts, I found two addresses that had slashes in them, and one or two other addresses with weird formatting. I ended up deleting ALL addresses from all contacts, and so far the contact sync in the car seems to...

Correction, mine has the Intel Atom chip, double checked under the "Additional Vehicle Settings". Correction on number of contacts showing on my iphone: 3968 for Microsoft Exchange. 1237 for "Contacts" (these overlap with the Exchange one as far as I can tell). 2699 for Suggested Contacts.

Eureka(?) almost. It's acting better after I went through and cleared up the number fields... so during this most recent test Contacts and Favorites showed up (first time in 6 weeks I think) but Recent Calls is still crapping out after 45 seconds or something. Details: I started deleting...

OK... check this out. Did a little test to see if some of the weird characters would obviously break anything. One of my contacts is now named (-@-), and it works apparently. Ampersand "&" and period symbols are also OK I guess, because they also show up for a good while (longer than 30 seconds...

I'm starting to think this is completely BS from Tesla. If you have recent versions of Outlook and a recent iPhone, like I do, ... from everything I can tell, the contacts are saved as the native Outlook format (.PST likely) and the native iphone format. Only if you export the contact from...

Similar problem on my M3P, end of year 2019/beginning year 2020 with the AMD Ryzen chip, but does have hardware radar. Super frustrating. It's been a problem on and off ever since I've owned the car, but it used to be easily fixed with a unpair repair of the phone. For the last 6 weeks or so, no...

Yeah, I live in the south. Had smell problems after 1 week of ownership. It's very disheartening. Only lessens in intensity with extreme dry hot weather, and then it comes back strong with just a tiny bit of humidity in the air.

One more comment, I don't think setting it to 66 on automatic_AC necessarily uses any more electricity than say setting it to 70 and turning the fan way up. The way their AC works is basically about 4 temp settings and then the fan settings as a separate entity. The following are pretty true...

Yep, I'm constantly using manual mode for higher fan speeds, also in a hot humid state. My gripe with the AC doesn't stop there. Let's see... in summary, I despise 1) anything nerfing the manual AC fan controls and 2) forcing outside air circulation on humid days (aka 99% of the time). And both...

Radar can certainly be much better, it's all up to how they program it to work. I've driven 4 cars with radar cruise, including my wife's Lexus, and it is about 10 times less stressful than Tesla's close follow distance AP. Lexus's lane keeping is terrible though, Tesla got that much much...

100% agree on these. They badly need to have a "chill out in stop and go traffic" button, because the jerkiness is nauseating and just bad for everybody on the road and in your car. I bought a M3P for two reasons, fast acceleration (did get this) and a better automatic cruise control (nope...

You must be right, starting about a month ago my minimal distance went to "2", so I must be non-radar now. I'll check the 85 vs. 90 speed.

Mine is a 2021 Performance Model 3, did have radar on purchase and assuming it still uses it... and it follows too closely on 6 and 7... but it is generally just a little over 2 seconds at those settings. It does often do the thing where at setting 7, it will lag way behind if someone ahead...

Every time I park my car in the middle of the day at home, the headlights come on for a short while. As these lights are very expensive, thousands to replace, I would like to avoid this on/off sequence which tends to wear out LED lights very quickly. I think we need a setting to permanently turn...

Ice isn’t a sudden concern, but fogging is. Hot humid climates can see the front windshield fog in less than 2 seconds when conditions are humid, going to almost zero visibility. I’m no expert, but I notice it when 1. driving near a body of water in 50-65 degree weather 2. turning on climate...

Once I get it right, I check tires less, but you should always check it before pulling out of the driveway or parking lot. Getting notified halfway to work isn’t fun, but seeing you have a leak before you are on the road is invaluable.

Right. The nav final charge is just about the only reason I use nav, and they need to display it clearly in every instance.

I really think the fan speed layout is a step in the right direction, but it just needs to either be much bigger or have defined graduations because switching between say fan 2 to fan 3 is too finicky, but switching from 1 to 10 is instant and simple. Look at Polestar’s … that seems to be where...

Top bar: Losing cell and wifi at the top, like profiles, has got to also be related to the full screen fsd beta situation. HVAC: I am in the sotuh also, but that’s why I am even more on manual HVAC controls especially during Oct-April. Humidity will condense on those AC coils and cause that...

This is well said. Safety decreases truly translates to someone losing life or limb given enough hours driving and enough drivers. Also not allowing the defrost or seat heater icon be manually added (and the browser can be, lol, yeah) is very much a slap in the face. I am sure they are using...

Not worried myself, and I never want to void a warranty. Seems like it would use way less power than an ipad plugged in. And from the video, Tesla can’t see it physically if you uninstall it.

Interested. I want these features: HVAC controls: 1. Not entire HVAC fan, but the cold AC on off toggle. We are in an electric car… AC use bites into my battery on long trips harshly, so I like to turn it on and off every 10 minutes or so. 2. HVAC fan speeds in manual mode… instead of...

Bug report: if you put it in reverse, then tap AC on (I swiped up), it kills the backup camera till you shift gears again. Bug #2? Note on music screen: you might have to press the weird icon toward the top right that has a play triangle and lines to toggle on half screen as one of the three...

One more follow up post after driving for 3-4 hours with the Dec update… 1. Hating the lack of touch, hold, and drag up and down to resize music. I would always use this to switch from bigger music menus to a halfscreen to see traffic on the map to seeing my full nav screen in order to see...

#1 is yeah, just not making sense. I have hope they’ll add it back… they have to, seriously. #2 agreed other than my previous comments on heated seat accidental activations. #3 I think you can manually move bluetooth to the bottom menu. I sort of am ok with the quick temp me u except for the...

These complaints are legit. Tesla has been moving way too much towards automatic everything, and there needs to be a non-auto mode for everything from non-adaptive cruise (for curvy 2 way roads that trigger phantom braking) to giving us actual control over the UI. I live in a hot state, so...

This ribbon needs to be all over twitter with the caption of “Best new secret UI feature” to get Elon’s attention since it is not accessible or functional. Enough people talk about it maybe they’ll add it in later.

I used the air pressure card/screen very often. We have extreme temperature changes around here… was 39 two days ago, 79 tomorrow… have to keep an eye on psi since it changes so much. Already had one flat this year, and so much construction bound to get another.

This is a major thing for a lot of us, they need to improve not take away driving.

Pretty good update, with a few things that need fixing. AC controls are better, more control like polestar’s swipe up one click fan speed. Getting heated seats away from accidental clicks is great. Spotify, radio, other music separation is a big yes! Phone screen not great, needs favorites as...

My 2021 Model 3 when new smelled terrible, like fumes from some petroleum product, for about a month or three... I think it was whatever glue they used to put the car together. That was in the winter. When summer came, this humid state I live in turned the AC into a new kind of stink city...

Something weird happening... am I crazy or did I lose the ability to a) skip to next song in Spotify, b) change to another FM station with the left scroll wheel right/left mechanic? That right/left option now changes audio to streaming despite what you were listening to before.

I have the biggest problem with the lane departure warning right after I switch off auto-steer on purpose. In the next 30 seconds if I get near the center line that thing will scream bloody murder. My oldest kid has PTSD from it I swear :P but I get it, one day it's going to save my neck.

Tesla should do this: Make the chime super quiet after the first second... that way I can listen to my music better sitting at a turn signal light... but after 30 seconds make the chime loud again for 2 chimes... back to quiet. Gives us all a reminder, but not that constant noise that will drive...

Wondering if the following distance has something to do with this feature. Does it act the same on minimal follow distance vs. max? If I think about it I will test mine out, got a '21 with 3 months of FSD so... worth a test. What I can tell you, not very related, is when I drive on the...

Completely unrelated I am sure, but I accidentally had Spotify running (should have been on standby but Spotify didn't care) on another device which made my car freak out when I tried it on my car. Found the device and turned off the app, all good after that.

Be sure the cover has a vent for the front area. I bought one to use temporarily out of desperation due to my stray cat friend (thanks a lot for the huge scratches kitty, why am I feeding you?). But realized that when you have the climate control come on in the morning with the cover on, it is...

Definitely get Tesla involved, that sure seems like a safety hazard. I wouldn't drive it till they fixed it.

I'm definitely for this. Consistency equates to safety and satisfaction. I would also love it if they had a sort of Tesla coil on the hood and trunk emblem that would crackle with the excess power you were sloughing off. ;) The equivalent of ICE cars and flames out of the tailpipes.

Very good point, hadn't thought of that one.

Stealth stealth stealth, potential buyer here, don't discourage them! ;)

Reporting back continued, forgot one thing... it did slow down on large highways once for a lane merging into my lane. I take it this is some overly safe driving in case merging cars are hidden... ? Also had lane departure warnings on rough roads (did I mention this) driving around 45 mph, that...

Reporting back after I borrowed a 2018 Tesla for extensive testing. So overall, loved it. Wipers were fine enough with auto rain sensing, auto-steer was pretty decent... only tested it a little. But again, my main concern was TACC. Overwall it was more than decent, though not perfect on my...

@TLLMRRJ, well that's definitely a major bummer. I personally expect to not use lane assist super often, and don't mind turning off alerts as I suspect I'd do the same in other cars. But intelligent cruise control is a major stress reliever for me, I have to find a way to make that work at least...

So I have been watching a few beta testers FSD footage on Youtube as of last night, just recently it seems there isn't much if any phantom braking. I have actually seen no phantom braking scanning through videos of 21020.44.15.3 and 21020.44.15.4. FSD has obviously come a long way from just a...

That's an important trick to know as well, thank you @SlimJim.

@skygraff, thanks for that very insightful feedback. That option to rest your foot on the accelerator pedal, but not too hard (I like the screen feedback "too hard can't brake"), might be the silver bullet for my situation. Super useful.

Glad to hear it's something you can expect and react to...that sounds similar to my current car with it's adaptive cruise.
