    MY Stuck On 2023.44.1, M3 On 44.30.8

    Follow up...my 3 got the latest 2024 recall update (2024.2.2.1) and again my Y is still on 2023.44.1. If my Y hasn't had an update by the end of the week, I might put in a service call. Tried rebooting a few days ago and nothing new Starting to think my Y is having an issue getting OTA updates.

    Pyrotechnic Fuse Blew While Driving...For No Apparent Reason

    It's been almost 10 months and I haven't had any problems since...knock on wood. What was the diagnosis on your X?

    MY Stuck On 2023.44.1, M3 On 44.30.8

    Just reaching to see if anyone else is having this issue. My M3LR and MYLR are 2021 models with Atom processors, purchased within a month of each other in late 2021. My M3LR has been on some variation of 2023.44.30 for over a month now. (2023.44.30.8 ATM) My MYLR is perpetually stuck on...

    Pyrotechnic Fuse Blew While Driving...For No Apparent Reason

    Followup just in case someone else had this problem. After having the car for a week, the service center determined that the harness between the battery and high voltage controller was not seated properly. After 1.5 years, I suppose the harness had worked its way loose. When I hit bumpy road...

    Pyrotechnic Fuse Blew While Driving...For No Apparent Reason

    Just got a message from the service center..."We are doing our due diligence. We are still not sure what the problem is. We need more time." Grrrrr.....

    Pyrotechnic Fuse Blew While Driving...For No Apparent Reason

    The car was delivered in November of 2021 so I'm not sure it qualifies as "new" at this point. They've now had the car for 5 business days and there is not a diagnosis of what the problem is. Whoever is handling service center messages said they would get back to me yesterday at end of day...

    Pyrotechnic Fuse Blew While Driving...For No Apparent Reason

    4 business days into diagnosis and the techs at the service center still don't have an answer as to why the car keeps blowing the pyrotechnic fuse. I will keep you posted...

    Pyrotechnic Fuse Blew While Driving...For No Apparent Reason

    Well, 8 days later, the same problem has happened. Car died while driving complaining about the high voltage system disconnecting. Looks like the main pyro fuse blew again. Car was towed to the service center and I'm awaiting a diagnosis. This seems crazy and does not make sense from an...

    Pyrotechnic Fuse Blew While Driving...For No Apparent Reason

    They replaced the negative contact on on the battery, the pyrofuse, and the 12v battery, all under warranty. Gave me a loaner and the repair was finished the next day. Everything seems to be ok now. Must have been a bad negative connection that caused the fuse to blow.

    I was able to drift to the shoulder. There was no power, just momentum.

    Pyrotechnic Fuse Blew While Driving...For No Apparent Reason

    Anyone else have this happen? I was driving and all of a sudden the car starts throwing all kinds of codes, telling me to get to safety. I was simply driving on a country road at 40 mph with the road completely clear of debris. I was able to get to a shoulder but once stopped, the car wouldn't...

    Stuck on 2022.28.2

    I think something is delaying the MY updates. I have a 2021 M3 and a 2021 MY. They always seem to get updates within a few days of each other but my M3 got 36.2 weeks ago and the MY has not. I'm loving the new trip power usage info in the 36+ firmware that my M3 now has. My MY is my long...

    Matrix headlights - when?

    My 9/2021 production M3 has matrix headlights while my 10/2021 production MY does not. Go figure.

    2022.12.3.1

    I have a MY as well. The 70% limit held on the MY when it updated but went to 100% on the M3 without any intervention on my part when the M3 updated. It's weird. The M3 suddenly had a 12.3.2 update this morning after I saw that it was charged to 100% so I'm not sure if this might be Tesla...

    2022.12.3.1

    After my M3 updated a few days ago, it lost the 70% charge limit I keep the car at and it let the car charge to 100%. I didn't notice it for 2 days so now my battery sat at 100% for 48 hours. Totally the exact opposite strategy than I was using to avoid degradation. This sucks!!!

    Protecting My Baby

    Dried the car off and, amazingly, no hail damage! Lesson learned. Heavy wet moving blankets can protect your car against dime to quarter sized hail. Wish I could post a video here. The thumping that the car took is much more dramatic in motion.

    Protecting My Baby

    We just moved out of our old house that we sold into rental townhome while our new house is being built. Old house had a 2 car garage that was actually used for cars. The townhouse only has a one car garage. I got an alert that a hail storm was on the way so I had to make a decision: Which car...

    AP/phantom braking.

    100% this. I was a loud vocal critic of TACC/AP phantom braking. With the latest updates, both are very usable at this point. There has been a drastic, huge improvement as of late. Where I would cringe using TACC on anything other than split highways, I can use it almost anywhere without...

    Cruise Control

    Since you have an early 2021 car, you most likely have radar. The Vision only based cars are a completely different experience. That has been made clear over and over here. People with radar cars tell stories about how great TACC and AP work followed by dozens of people with Vision cars making...

    Cruise Control

    This is it. They went full Vision only in mid 2021 because of supply chain issues with radar modules, not necause it was ready. This happened just as the latest FSD push was occurring . Vision based TACC is half baked and needs serious attention to correct the issues but Elon and his engineers...

    Cruise Control Acting Like AutoPilot

    The TACC in Teslas is complete garbage compared to what I had in the late model Ford and Hyundais that I had prior to the Teslas. Tesla's TACC is just plain is crap. I could count the number of times a year I would have false collision beeps and phantom braking on one hand with those other cars...

    Cruise Control Acting Like AutoPilot

    My 2021 M3 is now throwing up collision warnings for cars that are in front of the car in front of me. This happens on long gradual turns where TACC can see the second car in front of me as we go around the turn. The collision detection beeps as if I'm going to hit the car and it shows the car...

    Nightmare purchase process so far

    With both of my Tesla's I purchased in 2021, I brought a cashier's check to delivery day and did not accept the cars until I had inspected them thoroughly. I had Tesla acknowledge and commit to any repairs before clicking "accept" in the app. Maybe others feel differently but in my mind, money...

    1 week review (M3LR).

    In 2021, we sold two 2017 Chevy Bolts (1 private party, one was bought back by GM), a 2020 Hyundai Ionic hybrid, and a 2019 F-150 Supercrew and turned them into a 2021 M3LR (Sept) and a 2021 MYLR (Nov). Zero regrets... except phantom braking, but that been a subject already beaten to death...

    New model 3 LR, grinding sound during turns, SC says ok?

    My MY made noise similar to this when new. Only would happen at low speed when turning sharply with the car applying regenerative braking. It went away within a few hundred miles. YMMV. BTW, my M3 did not make that sound ever.

    rear bike rack question.

    It won't affect the functioning of AP but, depending on where the rack is on the back of the car, it will likely cause the near field sensors to constantly show a red bar on the screen since the sensors will see a stationary object inches from the back bumper. That's what it does in my MY with...

    Understanding The Decline In Tesla’s FSD Take Rate

    I will give Tesla $10k for FSD when the car can fully self drive itself, not before. This isn't a Kickstarter campaign, but it sure feels like it. At least with Kickstarter, you can get your money back when the product isn't delivered by the promised deadline, which in this case is years in the...

    2021.44.25.2 Trip of Glitches

    I installed the 44.25.2 update on Dec. 23rd. Seemed ok with some useful improvements and some backward steps in usability (which have been discussed quite a bit in the forums.) I had a long trip from southern VA to north of Baltimore on Dec. 26th. It was about a 4 hour trip. Everything performed...

    Huge update, V11...thoughts? and any hidden features found yet??

    I'm 6'2" and my wife is 4'10* so I feel l your pain. When I get in and the car suddenly detects my wife's phone first, it's like that trash compactor scene in Star Wars. I was able to quickly tap the profile setting quickly to stop from being smooshed. Now I have to go into menus to do the same...

    All of a sudden, it is fixed. I didn't do anything. System must have been doing something in the background that was messing with the emulator.

    44.25 Broke Careoke

    Tried using Careoke in my MY after the holiday update and while the songs play, the microphone icon is gone so there is no way to mute the vocals like real karaoke machine. The microphone icon used to be in the upper right hand corner but is no longer there. Can anyone else chime in on this so i...

    Centipede Broken?

    I noticed that the Centipede game had been broken since the 2021.44.25 update. The game plays at 2x speed and you can't control the shooter. Looks like some kind of compatibility issue with the new firmware. My mother is taking her first ride in a Tesla this weekend and Centipede was her jam...

    2021 Holiday Firmware Release - Predictions and Impressions (after release)

    Got it on my MY this morning but not on the M3. Can't wait to see the blind spot camera function when I go for a drive. Other than that, it's not that big of an update IMHO. It looks like they've tried to clean up the UI but at the expense of ease of operations. I really don't like they've moved...

    Farewell Model 3 and Associated Issues

    2021 Holiday Firmware Release - Predictions and Impressions (after release)

    As someone who has studied a lot about UI design and human psychology (I have a degree in psychology and neuroscience), there are a significant number of design faux pas in the Tesla UI design. There is tons of research that documents how our visual acuity, attention, visual processing, and...

    Phantom braking survey

    As has been stated many times, give us the option for "dumb" CC. All of the problems present in AP are in TACC. TACC is AP minus the steering. If we are only supposed to use AP on large divided highways, as the manual says, than TACC should be able to be used in all other circumstances in lieu...

    . . . but what do you miss from your old car?

    I miss the Lane Keep Assist system in my Hyundai Ionic. Superior to AP in almost every way. That and real blind spot monitoring.

    Existing Inventory Decreased Range Banner

    I don't think the decreased range is due to degradation. This is the scenario that I think happened (some of which is already stated.) Tesla had some never used but older battery packs in stock for warranty replacements. These batteries don't last forever in storage and there are more old packs...

    Not getting any software updates??

    2021.44.25 is the holiday update. I think that there must be some incremental updates in the 44.6 update that need to be installed before the 44.25 holiday update can be installed.

    Ordering Model 3 after Model Y

    Starting in 2017, we were a 2 EV family with two Chevy Bolts. With that said, we had ICE vehicles as well for long trips. Sure, I did some 500+ mile road trips in the Bolts but with only 238 miles of range, a limit of 50kwh charging, and the crappy state of non-Tesla charging networks, most...

    Not getting any software updates??

    Like many of you, my MY got the 44.6 update this morning. Both of my cars are now on 44.6. I think there is a rush to get all of the cars up to 44.6 so that they can roll out the holiday season update, 44.25. 44.6 seems to need a full camera calibration after installation before cruise and AP...

    Phantom braking survey

    Reported the aggressive phantom braking to the NHTSA. It has the potential to lead to a serious accident. If enough people actually complain to the NHTSA, Tesla might be forced to actually deal with the problem. FSD is eating up too many resources and not enough are being devoted to correcting...

    Not getting any software updates??

    Service Center manager said that my Model Y was at the most current firmware for my VIN. Firmware is 2021.35.102 and I've had the car for 8 weeks. Seems odd since 44.6 is rolling out and 35.102 is like 6 revisions behind.
