    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    Can you elaborate on how you got OneDrive working with TeslaUSB?

    Fog light for 2021 SR+?

    I just wish Tesla would allow you to add things like this. It's such a simple thing, and some folks live places where foglight are actually useful and not just decorative lights that people like to use when there isn't even a trace of fog on the roads.

    Best tint % for rear window M3

    I'm not new to having tinted windows on my car, I think I've had probably ~20 vehicles tinted since the late 90s. But I just got my Model 3 and I was concerned how the rear would look given it's really both a roof and rear window glass. I chose 30% because that's just my go-to with window tint...

    Get the MyQ adapter, skip the fee

    I’ve been using Tailwind for over a year with all three of my vehicles and it’s worked flawlessly the entire time 🤷🏻‍♂️

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Ordered a Model 3 RWD on March 9 and was assigned a VIN 10 hours later with an EDD of March 20-29. When we ordered our Model Y the wait was decidedly longer 😂

    Tesla Update 2021.44.25.2 Issues

    I don't mind the update overall, but the decision to hide basic "every day" controls behind several button pushes is a horrible choice. The fact that you can have a shortcut to Spotify but not something useful like rear defroster is just dumb.

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    Tesla flubbed it with the camera-based rain-sensing wipers, period. They suck, almost all of the time. They have a dedicated light sensor installed on the windshield, why not just use a combined rain/light sensor like all the German manufacturers do?? I've owned upwards of 10+ vehicles with...

    Discussion of A/C use in cold weather

    Every car I've owned prior to the Model Y would not engage the A/C compressor in temps below about 40F. Even if the A/C button appeared to be enabled, the compressor wouldn't actually run in cold temps. I've noticed in my Model Y that even in Auto mode, the A/C button will not be on when it's...

    HVAC Control - for those over 50

    So what's being asked isn't something available on any car, or at least I'm 99.9% certain no vehicle has climate control, manual or otherwise, that allows you to select a temperature range. It's either manual and you're constantly adjusting the temp to reach the comfort level you desire, or it's...

    Any Model Y with new projector headlights in the USA?

    I’m following this thread because I want to believe that it’s possible to retrofit the new headlights into cars that have the old headlights, but the main reason I want them is the aesthetics. I prefer the look of the projector headlights and their blacked-out interiors (i.e., I prefer this over...

    Experiences with US Bank for loan?

    I'm sure they're fine for a routine auto loan, especially if you got it through Tesla. For anyone reading this thread, though, don't use them for home lending!

    Auto Immersive Sound

    What are the screenshots of? Isn't Immersive Sound in the Option menu in the sound settings? I could be completely misremembering, though.

    Bioweapon HVAC filter upgrade

    I swear I just saw a YouTube video preview about someone retrofitting the OE HEPA filter to a Model Y, but now I can't find it. So basically, my comment is useless. But maybe you can be a YouTube or internet sleuth and find out.

    Really Frustrated with Auto High Beams

    I seem to have the opposite problem, that the high beams are too aggressive to come on and the car turns the high beams on even when there are other vehicles around (either in front of me or oncoming)! It's especially annoying on highways that have the large medians separating the directions of...

    Nav is always yelling

    It’s such a simple and useful thing, and definitely something they need to re-implement.

    Nav is always yelling

    It definitely can, you can also adjust it with the steering wheel while the nav is talking. But, then the nav is just yelling louder and it still doesn’t fix the problem (unless you’ve got the music already set to a very low volume).

    Nav is always yelling

    I‘ve had several vehicles with built-in navigation. All of them would either lower the volume or mute completely the music that was playing while navigation announcements were actively being spoken. Not the Tesla, it just talks over the playing music. You can raise the nav volume all you want...

    SERENITY NOW! - Autopilot Chimes are way TOO LOUD!

    There’s barely a difference between regular and Joe Mode, really a negligible difference in my opinion.

    Auto Dimming Mirrors.... Kinda Dark

    Why did Tesla make this complicated? Why not just use the normal auto-dimming functionality found on other cars? It’s quite simple, vary the dimming based on the light differential. That way the mirrors vary the amount of dimming based on actual light shining into the car from behind. Instead...

    Vision-only cars

    My Model Y is an August build and is running 2021.3.106. Seems you're better off than me, at least!

    Vision-only cars

    You had me almost spitting out my coffee with the rain comment 🤣 It's sadly very true. My wipers spend more time on high when in Auto mode than they do at any other speed. I feel ridiculous driving around when it's doing anything but actually raining hard. I am one of those people whom I make...

    Delivery times of Tesla Model-Y (June-July orders)

    Two VIN's, but I get it! I wish I had a secret to share. My sales advisor was really fantastic and he was constantly making calls and trying to get things going for me, including stalking the second VIN to see what happened to it after I had to pass on 8/28. He called me on 8/29 and that's when...

    Model Y water leak

    Whoa, that is insane!! What was the issue causing this very obvious problem, and what was the fix? Hopefully this only affected a certain batch of cars??

    Rear View Mirror Dark WITHOUT Headlights Shining In

    OK I thought I was going nuts when I noticed that the interior and exterior rearview mirrors were dimmed all the time when it's dark out. So that's intentional?? That doesn't make any sense at all, and is (ineffectively) different from every other vehicle with auto-dimming mirrors. It also...

    Tips for not getting rear-ended

    I agree. If you're at all adept at feathering the accelerator pedal, it's possible to come almost to a complete stop without the brake lights ever coming on. This isn't physically possible in a modern ICE car because they have virtually no engine braking any longer, and so even with a modern...

    20" Induction tire replacement with Michelin Pilot AS4 275 /35 R20

    A 275/35-20 tire has a sidewall that's about .25" smaller than a 255/40-20 tire, with the former being about .50" smaller overall in diameter than the latter. This will exacerbate the optimistic Tesla speedometer, which reads about 1 MPH slow on the highway on the factory tire size, as measured...

    Gap Insurance on Tesla loan?

    Many years ago I worked in high-risk collections for a captive automotive finance company, and I've seen firsthand just how important GAP insurance is for many, many people. If people don't put down a sizable down payment and then totals the car in the first few years after buying it, there's a...

    Pennsylvania Waiting room

    I had a wild ride with the order, actually getting a VIN only 3 weeks after I placed my MYLR5 order on June 19. Put the order on hold and then took it off in early August and got a second VIN on August 10. Car arrived at Devon on August 21 and delivery was set for August 28. Due to a personal...

Vehicle arrived at delivery center August 21 and delivery was scheduled for August 28. Had to pass so car went back into...

    Anyone regret buying the Acceleration Boost for their Model Y?

    Question, does the AB offer more power all the time, or is it only in the 0-60 dash? Meaning, is this an overall power increase, or is it only available when you have the accelerator mashed all the way?

    Pennsylvania Waiting room

    Wow Ivyland, that's a town I haven't heard mentioned in a longgg time. Born and raised there! Ordered a MYLR5 on June 19 and estimated delivery has already been all over the place. At first it was just September, then it showed August 16 - September 5, and now it shows August 22 - September 11...
