    2022 Model S Trunk Trim Coming Loose

    Hi - is this a known thing? I noticed it yesterday - it seems adhesive or whatever is coming loose. Car has never been damaged nor in a car wash. Already set up an appointment with the rangers. Thanks!

    How can I stop the firmware update?

    thank you, that was reassuring. I'll keep that orange clock, ignore when it wants me to schedule, and hopefully see the one i want come up.

    How can I stop the firmware update?

    Thanks. And I DO want a different version, or the one past this that has fsd. I guess I can now sit tight.

    How can I stop the firmware update?

    Thanks, it’s updated. I found some other posts here, so I clicked outside of the schedule box, and it is orange, and nagging me, but I think not scheduled.

    How can I stop the firmware update?

    Hi gang, Long story short, I was happy with my FSD, but apparently my credit card expired and yesterday the car showed me my autopilot was rolled back - fine. new card, then FSD came and went a few times, now it seems it's back. For the moment. I'm on 2022.44.30.10. Once I lost FSD yesterday...

    Plaid center console light turns off when fully opened?

    My January, 2022 has the issue, and there have been multiple failed attempts to fix it - including new console, rewiring of the switches, etc. My buddy got his Plaid a few months before me (i think November, 2021), has the issue. Another buddy got his LR a few months earlier, like August or...

    Steam tutorial for idiots?

    I found the same issue. i've also gone as far as leaving my door open (for a little while) when i didn't want to the car to shut off steam. I also tried playing the witcher iii - which took me days and days to download, and well...it didn't work. steam took something like 10 minutes to fire up...

    Steam tutorial for idiots?

    Hi all, the steam idiot (me) is back. I learned that the center console won't work for steam SD cards, but the glovebox will - so i removed my pristine, extra heavy duty 256gb SD card, to use a slightly less heavy duty 256gb sd card (seriously, i wanted my original 256gb for dashcam/sentry in...

    Steam tutorial for idiots?

    Hi all, I was ecstatic to get the holiday update, finally FSD beta! anyway, I added a new sod card, and pulled out my dashcam card to protect it. I formatted it for steam, formatted it in steam, but I can’t get steam to download the games onto it, nor does it seem to show up in steam overall...

    How does dojo get the FSD training to my car? I don't mean merely OTA...

    thanks, i agree with the black box concept. your concept of dials was actually quite helpful - and yeah, no actual dials, i get that. a much tougher question would be to ask how dojo can analyze the video clips, yada, but for my purposes, essentially, "how can a probably powerful, but...

    How does dojo get the FSD training to my car? I don't mean merely OTA...

    spot on. Thanks. yeah, my belief is dojo sucks up a ton of videos and creates a neural net, or rules in the neural net - great. then somehow, someway, i guess that "end part" gets cloned to the cars in the firmware update. so while the cars don't have the mental horsepower to create the...

    How does dojo get the FSD training to my car? I don't mean merely OTA...

    Hi all, I THINK I have the gist of FSD at the dojo level, but I'm not sure how the dojo rules make it to the car. I'll try to 'splain what I'm asking, and welcome corrections to anything I say that is wrong. What I believe is a zillion video clips are fed to dojo - maybe it's unprotected left...

    FSD Beta - no love for existing non beta 2022.40.4 - at least for now?

    many thanks for the replies! I did see someone post that they got their FSD when they had 100 miles on autopilot since requesting the beta - i didn't realize that...at least i did some NOA yesterday (it kept kicking out, it was raining...which Elon did not talk about either - inclement weather...

    FSD Beta - no love for existing non beta 2022.40.4 - at least for now?

    Hi - I have 2022.40.4 on my S refresh. I had FSD Beta (I guess version 9) for a month in the summer, and thought it was disappointing. then I read Elon opened it up to everyone...and so the day before Thanksgiving I plunked down another $200 - and no FSD Beta 10.X for me. I'm wondering, do I...

    FSD, a massive fail for TESLA! What secret mantra have I missed?

    you summed up my thoughts of FSD perfectly. I signed up for with my car when it was $10k, then pulled back 2 weeks before delivery at the almost instance of my neighbor. He was right (and had multiple cars' experience with it). He bought the Plaid, and the $$$ wouldn't really affect him, he...

    How long until we get a 400+ mile model Y?

    I was going to post, I wish my S refresh could get over 350 miles. It is rated 405 with my tires, but reality is no where near that - at least not for me. I figure AT BEST I can get about 350, and that would be sticking to the speed limit (shudder). Charging to 80% or even 90%, well, I get...

    Time to Drive (your Tesla)

    i did try the reverse charge wtih my phone (btw, i was wrong, it's S22+, which doesn't lessen my remorse over not getting the Z Fold 4) - the charge worked, but yeah, i had to hold the watch down with the band over the other side of my phone. I doubt I'd ever use that, and would instead just...

    Time to Drive (your Tesla)

    thanks for the feedback. i find these days....i don't really use either app very much! it's not THAT hard to pull my phone out, but at least for the novelty i like the capability, and there were times i'd walk from my office and tick the climate icon on an app to get the car going. i'm envious...

    Best SSD for TeslaCam?

    FWIW I think i actually received my SSD from Amazon and returned it unopened and went with the micro SD card solution which after a few false starts seems to be working fine. I felt there was less to go wrong. I bought SanDisk Max Endurance 256GB for the dashcam, and a 32gb of the same for...

    Yoke peeling

    To be fair, i kinda like it. i've mostly gotten used to the turn signals. I hate the horn, wish the middle worked as such. my hand positions on it are fine, and i still get jazzed about how it looks. my biggest "wish" is that there would be side functionality for the right scroll wheel - i...

    Yoke peeling

    My car is under 9 months and under 9k miles. Last driving it felt gummy by the upper left grip area. Material just goes up. No rubbing. Ranger coming next week…

    Time to Drive (your Tesla)

    so far i'm finding minor uses for the app (and trying to find additional uses) - so if i'm in the garage without my phone, or last night i wanted to vent the windows, etc. - i don't see the watch replacing my phone for basically anything other than as a, well, watch, but i like that i CAN answer...

    Time to Drive (your Tesla)

    (photo from Watt Time - For Your Tesla) About 18 months ago, I ordered my first Tesla (Model S refresh). Then my usual worries and overcomplications got int the way. Hmmm, key cards. Okay. I can hide a few in case I’m ever locked out. Phone as a key? Great idea! Err, what if the battery dies...

    Tesla + Galaxy Watch 4?

    Thanks. I'm still not entirely sure why someone would buy Watt Time vs. Watt Key though time is i think $3 less. It may also offer more functions, but I'd personally much rather have the ability for Bluetooth AND LTE.

    Tesla + Galaxy Watch 4?

    Hi all, been a while since I started this thread - almost a year. I now have the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro which I'm generally satisfied with (it has less battery issues than the watches I essentially tried every year). @joshendy I regret I didn't return to this thread soon enough - I bought two...

    Best Place or Site to sell a New Y, August 2022 Edition?

    Hi again, looks like I'm getting lowball offers for a MSM Performance Y to be picked up 9/1-9/4 in Springfield, New Jersey. If anyone is interested or can direct me great, and thank you - if not I think I'm going to let this one expire. thanks again!

    Best Place or Site to sell a New Y, August 2022 Edition?

    thanks all. any idea what these bad boys are going for new on a sale/resale? I was thinking about selling my S and keeping the Y but a buddy told me I'd find it a step down and be unhappy. Thanks again!

    Best Place or Site to sell a New Y, August 2022 Edition?

    Hi all, Can anyone suggest any top sites to sell a new Performance Y to? I know there are the usual suspects, Carvana, Varoom, etc. - anyone have any experience with other sources, preferably in the Northeast, and more granular, New Jersey? Thanks so much!

    FSD Mini Review/Rant - Promising, But Not Worth Your Money - Yet

    It made sense to me when I was leasing and it was $10k - at a 60% residual more or less, it would have cost me some $4k-ish. And there was no subscription option. There are also the Elon cries of it going up in price, and that can kick my FOMO into high gear. I love the PROMISE of it, but...

    FSD Mini Review/Rant - Promising, But Not Worth Your Money - Yet

    When I have AP engaged, i have a little blue yoke to the right of my front screen display (Speedometer) and my gear shows up in blue (the D in Drive is blue). Also, the blue lines will engage for a lane. When FSD was engaged on city streets I had the same thing but also lane change features...

    FSD Mini Review/Rant - Promising, But Not Worth Your Money - Yet

    We're on the exact same page. I will say, last night I was driving home late from the airport, and really tired, so I hit autopilot (as my FSD subscription ran out) - truly, I did miss the ability to signal, have it change the lane, but also not deactivate. It wasn't a huge deal, but I...

    FSD Mini Review/Rant - Promising, But Not Worth Your Money - Yet

    let's agree to disagree. I paid $199 for "Full Self Driving" and yes, I know they call it a beta product. And yes, they call it Full Self Driving (which of course we know it's not.). Completely false? Wrong terminology? Not sure I agree with either of those statements, but hey, we're in...

    FSD Mini Review/Rant - Promising, But Not Worth Your Money - Yet

    My belief with the nomenclature is the "factory available" FSD itself is beta - but let's call it say FSD 9, versus the stuff that goes out to the ones who were good in a past life, and that is presently up to 10.13 or beyond - I was never inducted into the post 9.XX - so all that stuff you see...

    FSD Mini Review/Rant - Promising, But Not Worth Your Money - Yet

    Hi Gang, I thought I'd let my inner muse free and comment on why I am thrilled I was talked out of the $10k I originally ordered for FSD for my S refresh LR, and glad I tried a $199 subscription which I just cancelled. Mind you, my opinion only, your mileage may vary. Full disclosure - I'm a...

    How does FSD beta come in? What actually happens?

    Hi all, when I broke my piggy bank and subscribed for the $199 clams, there were new menu items on my phone and car, and i think i had to reboot the screen to get FSD to activate. Fine, got it. I'm in the beta queue. I have heard there's a freeze and no new invitations for now - regardless...

    Model S 2022 to Model Y 2022 - Should I switch?

    I just read all the posts - it seems the OP is satisfied with the Y. I got the S over the Y, but the Y was the one I was inclined to get. I figured if I bought the performance package, it would be 3.5 vs. 3.1 seconds, and i'd be unlikely to notice the difference in acceleration, but yeah...

    Model S 2022 to Model Y 2022 - Should I switch?

    Thank you for this post - it EXACTLY mirrors what i'm thinking about. I"m looking forward to the answers, but I predict I would feel a lot of loss - between the yolk, air suspension, handles, and the "happy" feeling i get walking up to my beast....

    So who do I have to sleep with to get FSD beta?

    no update other than my score is 97. I really wanted "FSD" for 12 hours of driving i have between Wednesday and Thursday, however what I think I read is that the highway is STILL on a different stack, so even if I was privileged to receive beta, it would only be a difference for local streets...

    So who do I have to sleep with to get FSD beta?

    thanks all, from what i read, 2 things - 1) invites apparently come in waves, and 2) i'm wondering if my software is "too new" i.e. if the beta software is included in stuff a few versions behind, might my car have to "unlearn?" or put another way, wait until the next fsd update is an update to...

    So who do I have to sleep with to get FSD beta?

    Hi all, I'm doing the monthly subscription thing. I'm about 13 days into it, and been driving like grandma for about 12. My worst score day was 92, but otherwise my overall score is 96, with many days 100 (i've learned to game the system, use autopilot as much as possible, and grip the yoke...

    Cabin Overheat...or Not?

    thanks again all - we have temperatures hitting 97 which is hot for our area, but not unusual, particularly for august. so if 97 out, i would imagine 130 plus in the sun for the interior. it is using about 7% charge during the day (almost no shade in my parking lot) - so i didn't do the...

    Cabin Overheat...or Not?

    thanks for the replies. I "wimped out" today and re-enabled it shortly after posting. And the app claims it was 106 outside (weather said i think a high of 97) but maybe the sun hitting the car "somewhere" had something to do with that. I lose about 7 or 8% because of the protection, but have...

    Cabin Overheat...or Not?

    Hi Gang, It's supposed to hit 97 and sunny here today, and turned off COHP for the first time. (i may switch it back on). I've had the car since January, and even when it's 60 ot 70 out the COHP would trigger. Until yesterday, i would mostly leave the windows vented as well on clear days, but...

    Any possible out on FSD within first year of ownership?

    thanks. I thought they were talking about dropping the need for scores, or even opening to 91. At 95, i think i'm at the right number, just not enjoying driving. i imagine come august 8 (my renewal is due for the 9th) if i don't have it, i'll cancel, and on august 9 i'll drive like a teen...

    Any possible out on FSD within first year of ownership?

    FWIW, I sympathize. I ordered FSD when I was leasing my S refresh - i figured it would be roughly 60% of the then $10k price (based on lease residual). Then the car was delayed, and my lease offer ran out, and when the price increases hit, I decided to buy for instant equity. I still had the...
