Mine does it too. I just laugh about it and drive on. There's nothing in the software to tell the visualization software "don't draw a vehicle behind me because there's a trailer hooked up".

I've somehow survived several rounds of layoffs where I work, and over the last 16 years the whole process has gone from "let's trim spending, cut hours, offer voluntary packages, and have rolling furloughs first, before we cut headcount" to the latest two rounds where it was "everything is...

It's not that hard to get in and clean it yourself, just search YouTube. I did it on my previous car and I'm surely going to have to do it soon on this one, given how nasty the inside of the rest of the windshield gets. It's probably why I'm getting so many dry wipes... I just wish they'd...

This all sounds kinda like the dumb crap my employer pulled in 2019 and 2020, laying off huge swaths of employees and even entire groups in a panicked knee-jerk reaction to not meeting quarterly numbers. Then a few months later it was "oh crap why did we do that?". I was just at the service...

I could swear there used to be a "parts order" request in the app but I went to order the brake controller pigtail and the better cargo cover and it wasn't there. Submitted it as "other" and it confused the hell out of the people there...

How did people ever park a car without cameras and sensors?

That's like every GPS ever. It drives me crazy. My next turn/exit can be 150 miles down the road and it'll zoom in so far I can't even see the exit that's coming up in a mile. I usually just drive with the route overview displayed so I can see the entire thing with traffic and alternate...

My eight year old is a bigger threat to my glass roof than hail is. I'd rather have a metal roof since most of the year I keep a sunshade installed and the glass isn't insulated. The only advantage glass has down here is that it doesn't have clearcoat to get damaged and look crappy after a...

Here's AAKEE's post on calendar degradation vs. SoC: Long Term Battery Costs, Fears, and Serviceability It shows where the 55% figure comes from. Basically, it's about SoC when the car is sitting (as it does the majority of the time). Going to 100% is not itself bad, but you don't want to...

In my case the MY wins regardless... hatch, stalks, hitch, higher seats. I would like the ventilated Highland seats and maybe the rear screen, but not enough to "upgrade" and lose the stalks.

As a follow up, I finally got the car back that Monday afternoon. They said "all the wiring was right, we have no explanation" but apparently pushing the software again--or whatever else they did--worked. The one guy said I was the first one he'd met with a hitch that said they actually towed...

Yes, costs are still out of reach of most people. And not just purchase costs, but insurance and repair, and charger installation. But it has to be done right. Just hand someone the keys and say "good luck!" (which is what seems to happen with a lot of rentals) and they're probably going to...

I'd be happy with a repackaged key card in some other form factor than a ring (I don't even wear a wedding band, seen too many degloved finger pictures). I tried repackaging the "guts" of a card into a little RFID fob case but broke it in the process. My use case is for workouts etc. when I...

It depends where you live and where you would need to go. I think a lot of folks here forget that not everyone lives near superchargers and there are many places (generally with lower population density and away from interstates) that one might need to travel between. I can think of places...

The autowipers worked better (fewer dry wipes etc) on my 2023 HW3 car than they do on my 2024 HW4 one. I think it's mostly something to do with the portion of the windshield the cameras look out and how easily that fogs up (or doesn't defog). I used to leave the wipers on Auto in the old car...

I cut the subtrunk liner to squeeze in a spare. Had my butt saved too many times to not keep a spare in the car at all times

Depends how often you use that capability. "Just" renting gets to be a PITA real fast when you're making runs to the local home improvement store a couple times a month, or regularly making short road trips for camping etc. Having your own familiar vehicle, set up your way, that can do these...

Kid: "Oh, I got socks for Christmas :rolleyes:" Adult: "Oh, I got socks for Christmas! :D"

If my memory serves that's a reasonable approximation of the EPA test, so it's not surprising you're getting close to rated range. My daily drive pattern gives me pretty close to rated ranges too. On road trips--specifically driving to see family in Atlanta, 90% interstate at 75, I see more...

If you press the stalk too fast it doesn't register. You heed to press slowly or hold it for just a split second. It's very f'ing annoying.

Please tell me I can turn that off...

😵‍💫 I think you're nuts, but it would be really interesting to see a polished CT... We polished my dad's airplane... once. It was pretty, but the next time it was due, he got it painted instead. I won't be polishing mine either, for the same reason. Actually I'd imagine polishing is less...

Saw one parked by the local supercharger on Friday. Must have been getting publicity because it was still there an hour later, this time actually plugged in and charging. If my wife hadn't been with us, my son and I would have swung by for a look.

I charge nightly, to 55% normally or higher if needed. Usually finish the day around 25-30. Scheduled departure minimizes time spent above 55%. If I'm ever really in a crunch I live a mile from a supercharger. Only needed to do that once, when I stupidly updated while plugged in and it...

Honestly I generally only charge to 50-55 unless I need to go higher for some reason (I've gotten pretty good at estimating what I'll need for a particular day's driving). Usually finish the day around 25-30. Assuming you can L2 charge at home... here's what I would do: Figure out what...

I'd rather see something in the Maverick/Santa Cruz class, but yes. Heck, take a MY, extend it a foot or two, and make the trunk an open bed with an optional aero cover.

That 4/3 Romex can still find a use. I used it in my case where the wall charger was going on the next stud over from my panel; the wire had to go down out of the panel, through a stud, and up into the charger. I didn't have to install for the full 48A, but thinking ahead to possibly having a...

In its current state, not much. Definitely not $12k for sure. And I don't like subscriptions for software. In my experience with it on the loaner it's pretty cool, but still a novelty more than anything else. Make it a viable hands-off eyes-on system and we'll talk.

I'm in this boat right now too. They took all day to install the hitch, and then the lights didn't work when I got home (oh, and they either forgot to plug the left taillight back in or did so poorly, fixed that one myself). Now it's back in the shop since yesterday (Friday) morning and the...

Been trying FSD out on the loaner while mine is in the shop (for the second attempt at doing the trailer hitch wiring 😑). The acceleration seems just fine to me, about like I drive when I'm relaxed and trying to be gentle. If FSD accelerates too hard, you must be that guy who's always in front...

Tried it out today on the way home in the loaner. Never having used it before and having low expectations, I was seriously impressed. It drove like a conservative human and even did some "no way a computer would know to do that!" stuff. Worth $12k? Hell no. Not yet anyway. But definitely...

I'm on the wrong software branch so haven't had my chance to try FSD yet. But I don't think I'll be interested in a subscription until it drives better than my wife, who is a bad driver, knows and admits it, and thus tries to avoid driving as much as possible, unless she has no other choice.

I had no idea they were running this promotion till I picked up my car last month and was checking to make sure I'd gotten the loyalty credits. Saw 6 months, was all "cool but I probably won't use but a fraction of that" sice I only use superchargers on trips. No idea it was supposed to be two...

IMO this is most truck buyers. They don't really need a truck optimized for heavy loads; they're looking for a comfortable family vehicle with "dirty" cargo space and maybe some towing ability for e.g. a modest boat. Witness the popularity of the Maverick. Of course some folks do need the...

Ok, two-second theory... are all the people like me who are on on 2024.8.something on the "advanced" update setting vs. standard?

It is my understanding that 14-50s are allowed to be used on 40A circuits in some circumstances (since there are no 40A specific outlets). Since the charger has no way of knowing whether it's plugged into a 40 or 50 amp circuit, it assumes 40 (and this the 32A limit).

It was eliminated in 2024 models, apparently due to new EPA testing requirements.

Yes I just updated to 2024.8.7 last night. No email or popup this morning. I look forward to a trial of v12.whatever but I don't see myself paying for FSD until it meets the following conditions... (a) it drives better than my wife (who is a self-admitted bad driver) and (b) wife...

Yeah I wish they would fix this. If I manually set my lights to OFF they revert to Auto next time I drive; they should also time out and go back to Auto if I leave them ON. But then, I also haven't needed to put the lights on manually since the "lights with wiper" got reactivated.

My insurance costs went up quite a bit, but I was also previously driving a clapped-out F150 with liability only. But still, I wouldn't expect insurance to be a savings compared to another comparably-priced vehicle. My insurance increase eats up about half of my gas savings every month, and...

Why would most people know that, especially after these cars went mainstream? I only knew because of reading places like this forum and a website where someone did a deep-dive into how they work. The average non-enthusiast, just-want-a-car person probably just pulls up and plugs in. Any...

I'd say no, I would not get it if I was paying actual money. But with referral/loyalty points, why not?

I brought the entire amount in a cashier's check to my delivery appointment. Just let them know that's what you're going to do.

I wish there was a simple rear control that only did rear fan on/off and rear seat heat. I'm tired of doing those for my son in the back, and he just kept knocking the S3XY buttons loose. But he does NOT need any ability to control media (we'd get permanent hearing damage) or the front...

My 2024 Austin-built LR has the plug in the rear of the center console and it drives my commander fine. To get the cover off I had to get fingers under the cover and then just sort of pull one side out. It feels like you're going to break something but it works.

Took the new MY in for official hitch installation today. Didn't realize till I got home that the left taillight and turn signal were dead. I've already scheduled mobile service but they won't be able to make it here till Friday. My first thought sice everything else (other lights, doors...

That's at best a secondary consideration to most buyers. To a point they care about some of the "side effects" like charge time, and purchase price... but with charging costs generally being much lower per mile than gas, the greater consumption isn't right there in people's faces.

I had one phone with that option that, and it would then fake the percentage so it still showed 100%. I liked that. Actually just stopping at 80 or 85 on a newer phone bugged the crap out of me though. Doesn't bother me on the car... I have had charging get screwed up the morning after an...

I did one time see the arrival SoC drop from 24% to 10% when I pulled over for a moment to re-secure the bike on the rack. It was at 24 when I hit Park and got out, and two minutes later when I selected Drive it was at 10. I had already passed the last supercharger on the trip. That surprised...
