It's not a faulty image. Tesla vision now uses what is called the occupancy network. The cameras map the entire area around the vehicle into 3 dimensional cubes. it then tags the cubes as either occupied (something is in that space), or unoccupied (that space is empty). One advantage of this...

Never seen these before. Looking forward to what people have to say. I have been looking at lifts for my MYLR.

In a way you are correct, low temps are a problem for lithium in general, but it is much less of of an issue for lithium Ion, and the charge rate to temp curve is much gentler with Lithium Ion. I have an off grid cabin in northern Michigan and have tested cold weather charging with my solar...

LiFePO4 cannot receive a charge below -10C and have trouble charging below 0C. If they did go to LiFePO4 they would have have to use active heating of the battery and add insulation to the case. Bottom line is I believe Lithium ion battery is a better choice for this specific application...

Lithium batteries are 3.6 volts per cell (nominal), 3 cells is only 11.25 volts, which is too low. 4 cells is 14.4. The existing electrical system was not designed for 48 volts, but was capable of running the 4 cell lithium ion low voltage with minimal modifications. Virtually all 12 volt...

Battery temp also has a lot to do with the estimated range display. just a few degrees difference from the rated battery temp and the estimated range will be different than the rated range. On another note, no one I know who owns a ICE car has ever questioned the rated range of the vehicle...

I don't see this as a a Tesla issue. In the US we have 12 states without Tesla service centers, and each of them is significantly larger in area than Cyprus. The market dictates where any auto company sells and services vehicles, if the market is not large enough, or not...

How old were the filters? Mine looked like new after a year and a half. I do park in a garage, so that may be part of it.

I stated in my reply that my 22 LR was mechanical close. "My 22 LR is electric open, but like yours, clicks closed (mechanical close)."

My 22 LR is electric open, but like yours, clicks closed (mechanical close).

I can't imagine any reasonable person believes that Tesla would install a 12KW receptical that will only deliver 2KW. As for the frunk, I've have never needed a power outlet in the front of any vehicle I've ever owned, I don't suspect I will need any in the CT. Having said that, I understand...

Don't know about all the other specs, but it looks like it confirms the AC outlets in the bed.

My 22 MY Bio Defense (HEPA) filters are fine after a year and a half (24K miles) commuting to and from DC during the week. Keep in mind, we like most folks on the east coast have had multiple red, purple, and maroon days this last summer due to the wild fires in CA. I changed the interior...

Voltage drop in the extension code causes the motor in the hammer to overheat. The motor keeps trying to turn but doesn't have the power to produce the torque needed to drive the hammer efficiently . This causes amp draw to go up, which cause the motor temp to go up with in turn burns out the...

I sympathize with the issues you had, but in all honesty most of the issues were caused by the state NY, and bad timing that Tesla didn't control with your wife's situation.. Not sure what the app issue was caused by, but it seems like most people have no issues. Hope your wife's surgery went...

Got it, this is the Model Y forum. wklk057s stated: "There are some definite trends with early battery packs failing in earlier Model S vehicles... from day 1 builds up to about Q4'2014 and some even Q1'2015... and any cars that have had Tesla-refurbished packs installed..." It's not 2015...

Yes, go for it. Post a video after you have it done. 🙄 Should work great during the winter in MT

Minus the ones that have been totaled :)

1. How concerned should I be about this?: Not concerned at all, unless you have a previously damaged battery. There are a couple million Tesla's on the road around the world, and only a handful of documented cases on this happening when the battery was not previously damaged, or left under...

On mine it was sticking out lake the OPs when new, but as the gasket settled inn now It's almost flush. I don't think it will ever be completely flush because I think the gasket was deigned for the original non laminated glass, which is a little thinner. I do however consider the OPs issue to...

If you zoon in on picture #1 you will see the edge of the double laminated door glass (just right of the mirror). If the window was flush with the B pillar, you would not be able to see the edge of the window.

If it's a new car it will settle in as the gasket breaks in. Mine was the same. If it doesn't, I'm sure Tesla will take care of it. I'd put in a service request now though, that way you lock in a record of the problem.

Not with real time animations, and interstat traffic on the route.

In the US the EPA requires manufactures to report in Wh/Mi in the certification documents. The EPA coverts this to KW/100 Miles (rounded) for their public documents. Tesla could display it in some other form, but the choose to use the same format the EPA requires. Example below.

Now that's funny :) To be honest, I am actually surprised on how much it gets right (in near real time) with how small the onboard computer is. I know we all want perfection, but when I step back and think about what we were dealing with when I got into the IT world in the 80s, its actually...

No, not in the car, the Tesla phones home to the Tesla servers, who load your data into an AI computer, if the computer doesn't know what something is, it flags it and a human looks at it and manually labels the object and sends it back to to AI. (I would shoot myself in the knee if that was...

Interesting, another member from NH posted in the MY forum in April, about a very similar issue. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/dirt-roads-and-salt-brine-rusted-2-y-o-model-y-rear-brake-lines-in-new-hampshire.299828/ I would suggest they contact each other and compare notes. It might...

The DC area, due to the nature of the jobs around here, tends to have a very high population of highly competitive people. They tend to see every situation as a win or lose proposition, that includes commuting in and out of the city.

Daily, if not more often. I drive in the DC area, where having people cut in front of you and slam on the brakes is the norm. If you leave a car length between you and the car in front of you, it will be filled, usually by a BMW or Audi not using a turn signal.

Don't know, don't watch 60 minutes. NASA bought one too. To be fair, both the Army and NASA were directed to test EVs.

The Army is testing one of these

Yep. I have worked in Military acquisition, and I can definitively say this will not meet any military amphibious requirements. For road vehicles there are fording (water crossing) requirements that it may meet. Keep in mind military terms have specific definitions that do not usually/always...

All I've needed so far.

I don't even know the OP, so not making a judgement. In general I do feel people trying to get others to pay for their own mistakes is sucky behavior.

Why should Tesla pay for this?

22 MYLR, 21K+ miles on original tires. Rotated them this weekend. All wear is even, and it looks like I'm good for another 20K.

This is one of the pictures that was posted. It is the area directly under the fender L bracket bolt. It looks like a chunk out of the cast gusset. I wonder if something heavy dropped on that casting prior to the assembly process? If that is indeed the case, this is probably not a fleet wide...

This is from the guy on Twitter that discovered the embedded code and created the term "Elon Mode". "@greentheonly Jun 16 It's a special AP mode where there are no nags. The braking is less intense and probably some other changes under the hood I did not fully explore. @Raldi616 Jun 16...

That's not correct, many sections of the Tesla castings are non structural. They use the casting to lower the cost of production and reduce the number of individual parts. many portions of the Tesla castings are there to replace accessory brackets (such as for the washer bottle), and provide...

Ignoring the fact that you were given a free set, you say they are a great product, Why? What makes them better than other door sill protectors? how long have you had them installed? Do these provide more coverage than others? Does the adhesive hold up to cold and hot weather? Do they fade...

None. It's embedded testing code that is not available to the user. The only way to access the code is to hack the system or work for Tesla. The Government has gone really over the top on this one. All cars have code that is not available to the operator.

I may have missed it, but I didn't see you ask anything. You made a statement.

Ford did that with our 2010 Mustang GT. It was removed to install a CIA that actually did something. Noise is an adverse byproduct that adds nothing to performance, and in many cases interferes with situational awareness. Note: I have no intent of starting a philosophical discussion on the...

I believe that the fart sounds were created as a middle finger of those that wanted Tesla to reproduce ICE engine sounds. Tesla tried other sounds with the boom box feature, but the US Government made them stop. NHTSA said that any sounds produced while driving could interfere with the PWS.

I have not had them in my car, but I helped install a set in a Mustang, and a coworker has a set in their Corvette. Quality is OEM standard or better from what I have seen. If you contact an installer in your area I am sure they will let you look at some of their installs. I have been...

I can agree with some of this. With some car brands they have spent years convincing potential buyers that they are buying into a community, (I own a Subaru too by the way) , others market you to believe you are buying into a status symbol (who cares what other people think). With Tesla it's...

My advice is to stop worrying about what people on the internet say. Our Tesla has been great. It's the best daily driver I have ever had. I can tell you that of all the car forums that I have belonged to, this one has the largest population of people I have ever seen that put so much effort...

For an MY. between $25 and $60 for each filter (depending on where you buy), and about $35 a quart for the oil. I think about 1.5 quarts for the front and 2.25 for the rear. How long it takes depends on your skill level, should be less than an hour for each end. You already know he was...

I made my own, but you can buy one at the hardware store or Amazon.
