Never had FSD until this trial (way too expensive for something that I (a) don't need, and (b) doesn't function very well.). Because if the trial I have been using it, mostly in city driving setting, sometimes with little traffic, sometimes with traffic. Being an engineer and understanding how...

This has been happening to my Mar 2021 MYLR, and I have had no damage or repairs in the area. First time around, mobile service replaced the power strut. The problem did go away for quite some time, but eventually recurred. So, more recently, about 1.5 months ago I had them come out again. This...

I did not have to negotiate, but the tires were like 2 days old, that may make a difference. Also, this was Mar 2021, so it makes sense for prices now to be higher, but perhaps not $220. Also, I don't know what role location plays, but here in CA tires are not likely to be subjected to...

Including taxes, fees, etc. $111.20 for MY LR with 4 x Good Year Eagle F1 on it

Yes, I have a plug kit, for when it happens with no alternative like this. But not needed here and prefer the complete approach.

When I got my MY LR in Mar 2021 (only a 3 day wait!) I went to AT and bought tire certificates for all four tires. I don't drive that much, so far only needed one rotation (free), and then Sat late discovered 22psi tire. Found screw in repairable area. AT closed for the day on Sun, so booked...

On a small trip today my Nav was doing some weird things. First of all, it seems to propose an odd route to my destination. I started driving, but where it made sense I deviated from the route to what I would consider "normal" and routing adapted, but it kept suggesting weird things. See...

Got mine a few days ago. No locking pin, and requires a little bit of a push to be inserted. Tested last night on a 50kW station and worked just fine, charging at 44kW.

Americas Tire. I bought warranty certificates from them 2 days after taking possession of my MYLR in Mar 21. Total cost was $111. Because of these I have free tire rotations and protection against damage. Just had my tires rotated, for free indeed.

Based on the fact that your car can show you separate versions for firmware and navigation data I am going to say that the database for the road network is on-board (local). This map contains all road segments (between junctions), and more detailed data for each segment (so you can follow curves...

In another thread it was observed, and discussed, how at least for some, parking the Tesla in a garage can cause it to lose its position, or decrease the accuracy of the position. If this actually happens to you it may be the explanation is that car could then "think" it is not at home. It would...

Also, lets not confuse free SC included in purchase, vs. those acquired through the referral program (which has ended). I ordered and took delivery in Mar 2021 and at the point there was no deal for free SC included, so I got none. I did use a referral, so I did receive 1,000 miles worth...

As I mentioned in my tale: Tesla is actually not acknowledging this as a warranty issue when they do it for free. They were very careful to state all the same things (as designed, etc.), but then list it as "goodwill". This, no doubt, is an attempt to avoid it being forced into a warranty issue...

Mar 2021 MYLR with repeater flare in right side camera. Black version replaced for free, but refuse to call it a "warranty" defect.

It all hinges on the decision that when you open the app, it presents the main screen with the controls. That screen requires contact with the car, and thus causes the wakeup. The immediate contact is required because: * Display current interior temp * Display location * Display version...

And yes: confirmed tonight the D model indeed fixes things.

Had a mobile service appointment for today. Originally I was told "as designed". After protest they offered that I could do it myself for about $400+ for the part. I uploaded pictures showing the right camera useless at night due to this (problem was quite severe). After more protest they...

I have a WallBox Pulsar Plus (since November) hard-wired, 48A charging, 60A breaker. At the time I was trying to get the JuiceBox 48 which was perpetually out of stock. So far I am happy with the unit. 25 ft cable is good. Certainly seems more mobile app and portal options than Tesla charger. I...

It is also possible that consumer protections in the UK and Netherlands are sufficiently different from the US that Tesla decided to not say the same thing US customers are being told and, instead, handles it as a warranty issue.

I am currently waiting for a mobile service appointment on the 24th. Their initial reaction was that "this was normal". I told them right side was unusable at night and since left side is fine, this is not OK. They also said it could be replaced at my expense. They followed up by saying I may...

I just tried to edit an existing mobile service appointment that is still 3 weeks out by editing the text. It lets me edit the text, but when I press confirm it consistently tells me an error message with no other information than some hexadecimal error code. Am I doing something wrong? I did...

Enforcement while driving is extremely rate in CA. I've had 2 BMW and now a MY. The first BMW had no front plate at all, never an issue in 11 years. The second was a European delivery, so they insisted on the plateholder in front for Europe (drove it there for 5 weeks), so, since it was there...

I was slightly upset when ordering in March, having missed the $1,000 lower price just earlier, which we now know was a very brief absolute low. So my car has *only* appreciated $6K since then (took delivery2 days after order: MY LR AWD 5 Blue 21)

With prior cars I have had quite a few repaints done (all because of damage). I had found a high end shop who did absolutely marvelous jobs on matching and blending in my BMWs (both metallic blue s not a trivial paint; both cars gone now). I have no idea whether this is an option, but I would...

I just drive yesterday from Silicon Valley to Anaheim. Stopped in Kettleman but advisory was not to top it off but go again to 89% in Bakersfield. Did that and made it to Anaheim at 30%

Yes, sounds good but... We visited a hotel in Jan (dropping son of in College) in Anaheim. It advertised three Tesla chargers. Upon arrival all three were found "dead". Some inspection showed that they were not receiving any power. Contact hotel staff: we'll have to have our service people...

Similar here. Just yesterday partitioned a 500GB T7 into TESLA/MUSIC. Copied lots of files from Apple Music straight to the music partition. Created Boombox folder and put some sounds in there. Installed in the glove compartment (removed Tesla supplied 128GB stick). All is well. Recording...

I have detected an unexplained chime since my update to 2021.12.25.7 from 2021.4.18.2 about a week ago. There is never any accompanying textual warning. It never happened before this version. It is possible I went over a speed limit, but i never activated a warning for that. So unless the...

This was on a roundtrip from the SF Bay Area to Anaheim with some local driving around there as well: Most of the driving was highway at speeds of 70 or higher. This was with two people in the car and a moderate amount of luggage. About half the return trip had substantial headwind and I...

It often takes several weeks (4 in my case) before factory firmware cars get scheduled for their first update...

I never win things so we'll see.

Try editing the contact to hav first name "Entrance" and last "Gate"

What makes the 12V battery go dead if you still have plenty of SOC in the main battery pack? FYI my car stored in CA now (will return in another week, curious to see if my 12V wil be dead; have battery charger):

Certainly here in Montana the American Bison (official name) is very much referred to as buffalo!

We have a family house near West Yellowstone and have spent many a time in the park. I always suggest people plan a full day for each of the North loop and south loop of the park. If you charge to full in West Yellowstone, even with the ups and downs you will have plenty of range to make one...

I have seen several threads on this topic with people worried about battery depletion, but the main battery pack as well as the 12V battery. My car has now been sitting for 8 days (not plugged in). It started with the battery at 81.33% (according to Teslafi). Now 8 days later it is at 79%. I am...

Can't measure for you right now (car is 1,000 mi away), but I can tell you a few things: I put my 60 lbs Golden Retriever in the back, but without a kennel/cage. Golden Retrievers are generally compliant enough not to need one, and mine have always been trained to go in there, and lie down...

Not to forget that car does not come with jack or pads. So unless you have those, you could not take the tire off anyway. If you have a second car, you might use that car's jack, but still no pads? (I bought pads, 12V air pump, tire patching kit; haven't needed it yet).

CA electricity is very expensive! Here in the SF Bay area in the traditional tiered plan prices average about $0.29 if you do not go into tier 3. For our household, which is about 9,000 kWh per year, switching to TOU does not look like it will make a big difference unless we (a) make an effort...

I've had mixed experiences. Never counted on them to be able to do/complete the trip, but rather as convenient/cheap options overnight to avoid a charging stop. Sometimes they are not available and hotel has no good process for getting somebody to move their car after a certain # of hours...

MY LR AWD 5: 3,000 mi (of which about half were interstate miles at 70+ mph, the remainder mostly city driving). 277 Wh/Mile, Avg speed 42.2 mph, Avg Temp 69.37F. Just yesterday I drove somewhere local and back, 46 mi roundtrip, all freeway (300ft el. gain and return) @ 70mph: 274 Wh/mile.

It is not the same problem, and the difference is what makes navigation systems that work quickly possible (most modern nav do not blow up when you enter a coast to coast tip). TSP is defined: "Given a list of cities and the distances between each pair of cities, what is the shortest possible...

I do not understand where this discussion went. I don't think anybody thinks of waypoints as inputting a collection of destinations, in no particular order, and having the system figure out the best order, and then route, to visit all. That would, indeed, be the traveling salesman problem. In...

Most of my supercharging was at either $0.32 or $0.34 (that's California for you).

I have a mesh node in my garage so the car has high quality signal. It routinely sleeps for 12+ hours at a stretch (as shown on TeslaFi), so I do not believe WiFi availability, in itself, causes more frequent wakes and thus battery drain. Be aware that any use of the Tesla app will wake the car...

As an aside, I have been mostly using a free charging situation at other times (once a week to 90% or 95% before trips), and with 2,890 mi on the clock I have now paid $30.00 in charging costs total, or $0.01/mi :) . If the SC had not been free, that would have added approx $120, resulting in...

I just finally used up my initial 1,000 mi from purchase. I was tracking everything in Teslafi (except for one super charge, which I will equate to 5 kWh). I can see I got a little over 405 kWh for those uncharged miles. My consumption was approximately at 285 Wh/mi (lots of 80 mph interstate...

I checked each of our paired phones, and neither is set to 81F. It is possible that mine was yesterday when the event happened. I say that simply because once I was in the car and noticed the problem with hot air, even though the in-car climate system was set to 69F, I looked at the app and it...

Except when the hotel claims to have three chargers, you arrive to find all three available... and all three not operating...

Twice now I have used the mobile app "Climate On" function in an attempt to cool the cabin down before going somewhere. In both cases the interior temp was something like 140F. In both cases I showed up in the car after a few minutes. The app would state the interior was now something like 84F...
