The car started behaving strangely. It might be associated with it downloading 2024.8.4. When I came out to the car after my last stop on my way home the screen said my premium connectivity had expired (which is a lie) and I had to renew to continue listening to Spotify. When I got home I...

I had reconciled myself to the Tesla Spotify app being rather lousy especially when compared to the phone/tablet app and the web site. But that has changed with this new version. In fact, ISTM the web site and the phone/tablet app have also been changed. This new version of the Tesla app is a...

I spent two days at Gila Hot Springs, NM. I drove from Silver City but I took the long way through Mimbres to avoid some of the really twisty parts of the road. On a previous trip FSD worked like a champ on the really twisty parts but I was not comfortable trusting it with my life. There was...

Camp mode is great! But I wish I could press a single button to disable all the obnoxious lights, beeps, dings, and boops. Others have posted about this problem. I'm at a rustic hot springs camp site well off the beaten path. Camp mode is a wonderful convenience but I hate to disturb my...

I've had FSDb for a couple of weeks and loved it. Previously I had been using AP for about 80% of my driving. But today it seemed like the car went crazy with multiple failures. The first is it would creep onto the shoulder of roads with cars whooshing by at 40 or 50 mph. There was...

This is what you'd get if Sandy Munro were a teacher, not an automotive engineer specializing in machine tools and manufacturing. I've watched this series of videos on the octovalve. It was impressive but mind numbing. This guy is an excellent teacher IMHO. He tears things down like Munro et...

I went out for a drive today to meet some friends and when I got close to the destination I heard a loud buzzing from the back of the car. It stopped before I stopped the car. I was running late so I didn't investigate. Then on my way home I heard the loud buzzing again. It persisted even...

I'm sure it has saved many lives but this is something that happened to me two weeks ago. I was driving my Model Y in a residential area at night going 20 mph with AP enabled. I saw a fawn dart in front of my car. It was at most 10 feet away. I was certain the fawn would be splattered across...

I tried to change my rear license plate holder but one of the the nuts/posts came loose. It spins freely so I can't get the screw out to remove the holder or the license plate. The car is less than two years old. Is this covered by the warranty? Should I ask for Tesla service to come out and...

I heard about fullscreentesla.com on one of the usual YT channels. Seemed to work great. The next day there were 4 attempts to login to my Amazon account from different parts of the country using my password. I don't think this was a coincidence. There had been zero attempts over the...

Buttons on touch screens can be ambiguous (but they don't have to be). The label on the button can usually indicate the current state or it can indicate what will happen when the button is pushed (which is usually the opposite of the current state). IMHO letting the buttons be ambiguous is bad...

IIRC Elon has been talking about merging the two stacks since last November (or earlier). James Douma recently explained why there has been such a big delay in combining the old AP stack with the new FSD stack: The problem is that FSD now models the world with a top down look on a 3D model...

In videos of LR + AB vs. P, it seems the advantage of P is mostly starting off the line. After the cars are up to 30 or 40 MPH then LR + AB seems to hold its own again P. Going in the opposite direction, I most notice Chill Mode off the line. In Standard Mode just touching the pedal a little...

Has anyone else been looking at these: S3XY Buttons? Dirty Tesla gave them a mention. Not cheap but they look very cool. It's a kit that comes with 2, 4, or 6 stick-on programmable buttons. You also get an app that has a dashboard feature (speedometer and lots of really cool info). Seems like a...

I use alerts a lot. But I often click on the alert bell again to close the alert popup (like on other sites such as YouTube) but instead of closing the popup, this takes me to an alerts page. I suggest that clicking the alert bell when the alert popup is open should merely close the popup...

I got these for free with some key card holders. I don't need them for my Model Y. They are just like the ones here: Door Exit Decal for Tesla Model 3, Glow in The Dark, Luminous Button Sticker Kit I will ship world wide for free. First come first served. The winner can send me their...

I have not vetted everything on this list. Someone asked me to post it so here it is. Caveat Emporium. I do not have any product affiliations but I believe TMC will convert my links to TMC affiliate links. The YouTube links usually have reviews and discount codes. The final items without links...

Hi folks! I've been making a lot of calls to Tesla to try to get things fixed with my car. In my last call when they again said they couldn't help me they asked me to send a long email to their CentralUS_ordersupport listing all the problems. I spent several hours making the list. I...

Like many others I struggled for a while to get my phone to unlock my car. Note that I was able to use the button on the app to unlock and it would lock when I walked away. The sticking point was getting the car to unlock without having to unlock my phone and open the app and push the unlock...

One of the appeals of the MY is the ability to comfortably sleep in the cargo area. There are plenty of videos about this and there are products for it like the Tesmat. While I was perusing the owner's manual I saw these limits: CAUTION: To avoid damage, never load more than 130 lbs (60 kg)...

When I ordered my MY LR white/white 5 seater (no hitch, no FSD) I had planned to pick it up from the nearest SC in El Paso TX which is about 150 miles away. But after I placed the order I found out there is some state law that forbids me from picking up the car there and the nearest place I...
