I had to run a 60 amp line out to each garage and a separate electrical panel for the two locations. the electrician bill for each was about $1000 but if felt it was absolutely...

    FSD beta v11.4.8 stop lights

    I just went into controls and it does not let me select FSD whereas before I could select fsd beta immediate or regular download. It now has one click auto steer which I don’t know what that does. I bought FSD a year ago when I bought the car. What’s going on? I’m confused.

    Mud flaps and suspension height

    Update. Front flaps from Tesla have been fine. No issues on dirt roads, interstates, parking lots, or steep V-shaped driveway where I raise the suspension. Very rarely sense the mud flaps scrapping when coming in at an angle.

    Got any road trip advice?

    I have the Tesla tire inflator but haven’t really looked at it. I’ll have to do that now, rather than in a rainstorm or on some deserted road in nowhere or along an 8 lane interstate during rush hour.I think I could manage to add air to get me somewhere or in cell range.

    Got any road trip advice?

    Can an old woman, fit but with weak wrists, fairly handy and self reliant, use a tire plug repair? Seems like you need a like of strength to insert plug…..

Actually, I can’t see Any of the hood of the car MX 2022 FSD beta. I also pull in crooked a lot because I’m guessing where the front of the car is...

    My phantom braking occurs CES are not heat related, mirage related, or shadow on road related, and occur in chill mode (only one I’ve ever used), in FSDb, in TACC and in the absence of any other car for miles in any direction. Sometimes a hill is involved but will not occur every time I drive...

    I tried twice from home to make an appointment for mobile service and got a message that the service doesn’t work “connection fail unknown error” this now has a third time away from home over cellular.

    2000 Miles in two days CA and AZ (USA)

    Yes, I figured commercial ,such as superchargers, rate would not be the same as residential. Does show how much cheaper it is to charge at home.

    Model X, error message "Plan your next charge"

    I had that message when driving into an area in north-central Nebraska where there are no chargers except a few campgrounds for over 100 miles in any direction. Fortunately, I have a house with a charger out in the middle of nowhere. The message disappeared after I charged at home.

    FSD 11.3.2 on the Highway

    FSD seems not to register a white speed sign when exiting interstate. We have signs that can make exit speeds need to drop from 75 mph to 40 or even 25 mph. Requires breaking which throws it out of FSD

    2000 Miles in two days CA and AZ (USA)

    I learned after the fact the the charge for electricity varies not only with the DC but also with how long you charge. X for first 15 min y for next 5 min and z for remaining time, increasing substantially. Because of lack of ANY charging infrastructure other than campgrounds for 200 miles to my...

    2023 Model X Plaid vs. Long Range, that is the question...

    For me, it’s how often (never) do I care about going really fast a second or two faster? Are the dollars worth it for momentary thrills, if that thrills you. You you need carbon fiber dashboard?

    FSD 11.3.2 on the Highway

    Nope. Map on that route had been used at least 8 times in past 7 months. It’s part of a 305 mile one way trip (610 round trip) I take monthly. Speed limit was 65 and the car was maintaining that until the sudden phantom braking.

    FSD 11.3.2 on the Highway

    Also one phantom brake the car went from 65 mph to 5 mph very very quickly before recovering with help from my foot on the accelerator after it reached 5 mph. No one else was around so I could just let it keep breaking. Totally weird. And scary. Overall, I like all the driver assist modes but...

    To avoid the St. Louis mess, unless you want to see St. Lous, from Tenn. take northern route from Hannibal (huck Finn etc.) Mo to St. Joseph Mo. Rolling hills, farms, not as much traffic. Fully charge In Hannibal and then in St, Joe. Drop down to KC from St. Joe. And onward. My route last Oct.

    FSD 11.3.2 on the Highway

    Does FSD rely on internet? not a tech person. Frequently on state highways in high rolling hills Where internet drops in and out. Also problem yesterday with phantom braking 4X in 306 miles with alsolutely nothing and no other cars. Good lane markings, etc.

    Mud flaps and suspension height

    Mud flaps and suspension height on Model X. Any issues with front mud flaps (Tesla store MX 2022) rubbing or breaking off at different suspension heights? Suspension will default to low on the Interstate and be set high on my driveway and on dirt roads

    Raleigh to Spokane routes

    I agree with you 100%. I would and do avoid Chicago -Ft Wayne area at all costs. It’s always under construction, so you’re into 2 lanes in heavy traffic all day and all night, it’s industrial landscape,all you think about is how to get off as soon as possible and praying you’re not in one of the...

    Phone key and fob range

    My problem, and expect it’s typical, is that the phone is in the purse, find phone, unlock phone, go to Tesla app, do whatever, reverse sequence. With fob, reach in pocket and click to open trunk or door. The end. Male software and engineers don’t think of much other than their own experiences...

    Considering 2023 MX--The Yoke is a concern.

    I keep hitting the windshield wiper button on the yoke . Wipers swipe a dry window, not the best given all the dirt and sand out here. Would like to have to make a more definitive push to make them work. Love the yoke and like just swiping the turn signals.

    Tesla S summoning

    Since the last two updates (now 2022 44.30.10) Model X no longer exits one car garage on summon. It only goes half way out and stops. It doesn’t matter if I use “come to me” or the “depress arrow key and hold” command. Sentry mode is off. Auto door open is off. Very frustrating. If I then...

    Far West Texas Charging

    Still thinking about it. I don’t like to commit much in advance. Pros and cons to this strategy but been doing for long time in ICE and when I had a traveling job. Got to get serious about room reservations pretty soon though. Turns out Nature Conservancy lands don’t open to public until March...

    Trunk Lock Behavior Changed

    Strongly recommend fob in pocket To open trunk before you get there. Need car to be “on” and then fob.. Not perfect but I’m getting accustomed to the process. There is no way I’m digging into my purse for a phone…….

    Trunk Lock Behavior Changed

    The button is so that you can CLOSE the door after you load groceries without resorting to the fob or the phone app orleaving the dtruvk door open until you get into the passenger seat and close it on screen. Very useful. I will say that the button on the falcon wing door is too high in the sky...

    Trunk Lock Behavior Changed

    I, too, found the update changed how the trunk unlock worked. But tonight I learned that the key fob will unlock the trunk as you approach. At least I don’t have to dig in my purse, find and take out the phone, unlock my phone, go to the Tesla app just to unlock the trunk for groceries. I am...

    Model X now available with round steering wheel

    I keep inadvertently hitting the windshield washer. Can’t be good to wipe dirt or dust without water. Maybe if it required a double click instead of a mere swipe. I do like the swipe for the turn signals.

    Wanted: lighted charge port hole

    Yes, so far I guess where the charge hole is and jiggle around to make it fit. Just not very elegant When a simple illumination ring would make it plainly visible. One of those “ room for improvement” items in this $130K car.
