There are 9 cameras but I doubt that all 9 are used for sentry mode. I would think they reduce to the minimal number needed to save power.

It's good that they are working on it. It's not true that sentry mode only activated when there is an event, at least not now. There is no "motion" sensors like regular home security cameras. There are only cameras as they were originally designed for FSD, not security. Remember that sentry...

If the computer is on continuously, it means the car is NOT asleep. The computer is brain of the car.

This is why I always turn off sentry mode when parking at airport or cruise terminal. People don't realize how much energy/power is needed to run 4 cameras continuously while keep the computer running to interpret if the videos have something important to flag it as sentry event.

I added a small clear PPF on my rear bumper to protect it from loading/unloading things. It covers both middle USS but they work fine. It's possible that one sensor has failed. My previous Honda Odyssey had the whole front USS replaced because one was not working right.

Your picture indicates that Powerwall has no power! Unless you know what you're doing, I wouldn't muck around looking for why it's not getting any power. When mine was installed, the electrician stayed to make sure it had power and able to charge the car.

I don't think it's just plug and play. Software has to be configured. I think there is another thread about someone tried w/o success.

I got popup notification on the app telling me that it's time to replace my cabin filter.

We have 2021 MYLR with FSD paid for. It has USS. Used to be very difficult to trigger auto park feature. With recent FSD V12.3.4, it's easier to see parking option pop up than before. However, our 2023 M3P, vision only, also has FSD V12.3.4 free trial at this time. Auto park with vision is...

Not any more. Only the MY AWD, not currently available, had front and rear megacast to accommodate the structural 4680 battery pack. The Cybertruck has now taken over that assembly line with 4680 structural battery pack. Austin now builds MY with same 2170 battery pack as Fremont, so it has...

I believe early M3 had the module in front of the bumper as installation required removal of bumper. Most videos used MY was example but it's not the same location. Look at this video of installation on M3 from 4 years ago.

Like any computer, the Tesla screen can freeze at times. Just reboot it; it may take longer than 10 sec holding the 2 buttons. You can do this while driving if it happens while driving. You can still drive safely; you just don't know your speed or any turn signal/sound that you may have on...

The OP is about LFP availability in M3 or MY. According to Watch Tesla Model 3 RWD With LFP Battery Get Delivered In U.S., M3 RWD started to have LFP in the US since late 2021. I only mention about tax credit because the current 2024 MY RWD is qualified for it so, it probably doesn't have LFP...

In the US, the M3 RWD has had LFP battery for at least a year. MY RWD in the US is unlikely to have LFP because it's qualified for $7500 tax credit. As far as I know, LFP battery pack are not made in US yet. I have seen posts about Canadian MY RWD with LFP despite being from Fremont. It makes...

I don’t have 2 fobs to test. I have 1 fob paired to 2 Teslas. As you noted, fob can only connect to one Tesla at a time. To switch, I touch the fob to the b pillar or center console of the other Tesla and press any button on fob. It seems the car “remembers” the recently connected fob only...

Keep it. It's not provided as a standard device now so they don't expect one coming back. They won't care. We traded in a non Tesla EV with the charger. The guy asked if I wanted to keep since it works with Tesla.

MY never came with HomeLink since it came out in 2020. I purchased from Tesla for my 2021 MY. I bought from eBay for my 2023 M3P.

No problem backing in. I too normally back into my garage.

Jack pad differences was because of different battery pack for MY AWD. The other MY have the same battery pack, so no differences in jack pad.

Minimal differences for LR. Stuffs you mentions were for the MY AWD only built at Austin, which is not available anymore. US spec MYLR have always had the same battery pack regardless from which factory in the US.

I installed mine (From eBay) last month. It works fine. I remember that the module had Tesla name on the label which may be a factor.

Basically, it's the reverse of standard normal headlights, which has low beam by default and high beam as needed. With smart headlights, it's high beam by default, and turn off the affected pixels/LED's (using various technology) pointing at other vehicles ahead. The whole lights are still...

No issue here with GY ElectricDrive GT, granted I had changed my tires only once. It was done at home by a mobile (non Tesla) tire installer too.

I have the same software version for both of our Tesla. Both have HomeLink and they are working fine. I only use auto open, not auto close.

I know it's a first world problem, but I like automatic opening feature when approaching. I also programed mine for my parent's and sister in law's garages (Max of 3). I bought the HomeLink kit from ebay and installed it myself. It was pretty easy DIY project.

In my case, the tech came to my house to install then my work to update the software. It's worth the extra cost for the convenient.

That was how I purchased mine. Good Year has contract with Just Tires with mobile installation that came to my home for the install. I go to local Just Tires for rotation/balance.

I currently have the 1st Gen tires. I think they are more quiet than OEM Continental. However, they are definitely less efficient. Maybe 2nd Gen will improve on efficiency.

I do the same with our M3 and MY. Key cards are "passive" since they don't have internal power. I am guessing that one Tesla would not "know" if the key card is used with another Tesla already.

I had no idea what the modes are but it appears that Tesla Homelink can handle multiple types. Model 3 Do It Yourself | Tesla

I use FSD everyday and haven't had a strike since the "new" update. I had only 2 strikes the entire time I had the car since 2021. I think people either exacerbated or they ARE the exact type of drivers the update is meant to target.

I have the Tesla Fob. It has both proximity (Bluetooth needing power) and NFC capabilities (passive like keycard). It is paired with both our MY and M3. The item you showed only has passive function like keycard.

It doesn't matter. I plugged in during the first few extended trips but didn't the last few. I parked without sentry mode. The most I have seen was 2 or 3 percent drop in 3 weeks.

$125 for some one to come to my house/work to install the upgrade is a BARGAIN to me. As for your answer about software update, HEPA filter can still work without software update, but not as well. If you look at what's added, you'd see they replaced the original air intake with new one with...

I have the FOB and Pixel 7 Pro phone. In rare case, the phone stopped working as key, but that's mainly be cause I hadn't used the app for weeks or after some updates. A reboot normally fixed it. Similar experience with my previous Pixel 5 phone. FOB does have proximity function and it works...

Never seen that before either. Mine has gone 49 or even 50 PSI when driving in the middle of hot summer and there was no such warning. Mine is routinely in the 44-46 PSI during a typical drive.

Once you start driving the next day, you'd get new readings. They are essentially the most recent (cold) pressure. Besides physically check each tires yourself, this is the quick and good enough way.

Mine is Medium. I don't see how you can pack one in without taking the front wheel off. I have hitch rack too but only use when I am with somebody.

I have Tesla Wall Charger (hardwired) for several month and an old Siemens (30A) charger (nema 6-50) for 6 years. For normal daily use, they both do the job fine. The Tesla charger is slicker/smaller, faster, and connected for updates. Since I normally charge overnight, I can't really...

Even without the promised smart feature, the projector HL still has better coverage than the reflector HL according to IIHS. It's rated as Good vs Acceptable. 2023 Tesla Model Y 4-door SUV

I’m the reverse. Everyone in my family are so used to backing into the garage that I made sure I could charge that way.

Once you've confirmed that it's working properly, then it's okay to turn it off until you need it. It does use a small amount of energy staying on even when not charging an EV. I wish there is an easy way to turnoff household stuffs completely like the British electrical outlet.

MY LR 7 are only built in Freemont. It makes business sense to keep "low production" option at one factory to reduce cost of having supply chain for both factories. If you want 4680 structural battery, order the MY AWD (5 seater). You can't get 7 seater with 4680 battery.

I just added AB after 2 years with "standard" mode, which was pretty fast already. I have to say it does feel noticeably faster.

That's "normal"! Same experience for me. Sounds like you're an expert at parallel parking by now! :)

Agreed. It takes less than a second to see if the HL has projector or not, especially when seeing it in person.

I think you are way over thinking it. Just put in your destination, let the car decide where to charge and when to precondition if needed. Don't worry about it and joy the drive.

The article is not completely accurate. It says MY's from Austin have 4680. This is not completely true. The LR from Austin still has the same 2170 as LR from Fremont. Only the MY AWD from Austin has 4680 battery. I wouldn't be surprise if Austin builds more 2170 MYLR than 4680 MYAWD at...

The sound you here is the motor controlling the locking mechanism. The seat is spring loaded in the "normal" position. When the button is push, you have to time it right and manually push forward. It won't go forward on its own. If you push forward too early, the mechanism is not fully...

All MY LR and P in the US have the same 2170 battery pack.
