    Car autoconnects to WiFi at supercharger?

    Or you could put your tinfoil somewhere else. I should have known better than to raise such an issue amongst Tesla fanbois. Maybe educate yourselves on data security. Maybe not, I don't care.

    Car autoconnects to WiFi at supercharger?

    A service center is a somewhat different situation. What I'm worried about is people sitting at superchargers, using the browser to conduct personal business, unaware they are connected to a foreign WiFi. But the car should not connect to any WiFi network without the owner's explicit knowledge...

    Paint quality of Midnight Cherry Red and Quicksilver

    Reminds me of the RX-8 "Shinka" edition, though not as satisfyingly dark.

    Car autoconnects to WiFi at supercharger?

    Was using the browser while supercharging and had some strange pauses and "internet not available" messages. It's a good cell-coverage area so I wasn't sure what the problem was. Phone was fine. Then I discovered the car was connected to WiFi. This was a surprise since I had only ever set it...

    2023 Model Y rattles in the back

    We have one rattle left; actually a "buzz", and it's from the black plastic shroud over the front-facing camera behind the rearview mirror. Goes away temporarily if I press on the housing. Only happens at certain times in the afternoon (sun-heating playing a role i guess). Taking a car in for...

    New 2023 model Y doesnt include homelink?

    Same here. Can't stand money-sucking subscriptions just to flip a bit enabling the hardware that's already there. My damned Nissan LEAF came with Homelink. Tesla can pound sand. $17 remote from ACE Hardware works just fine. I spent many a year having to get out of vehicles to manually open...

    Now that does sound useful. Might consider that when my current pump packs it in.

    Tire Pressure and Range - One Mans Test Results

    A digital display really isn't adding value. I prefer this analog unit Deluxe Tire Gauge (0 to 60 PSI)

    Why is the CCS being adopted as the standard?

    Also the strand-count of the conductor cables.

    Model YLR Paint Issue

    What seems like white primer is sometimes just an artifact. We had a small scratch on the door panel that practically disappeared by cleaning and polishing with Nu-Finish. But, no paint is impervious. Careful touch-up where necessary is a decent remedy. Maybe apply film to the area most...

    Small nail near tire wall, tiny bubbles. What can be done?

    Sidewall flexes too much for a patch or plug to be reliable.

    Sentry mode/Battery depletion

    Tesla provides the feature; it's up to you to decide when and how it should be used or when it's worth the cost in energy and battery cycles. 5% charge expenditure per day doesn't amount to a lot of battery cycles in and of itself (less than 20 per year if you leave it on 24x7). So I'd rate...

    Did you stop there because of the orange? :p

    Is My Sentry Lost?

    This has happened a couple of times to me and in each instance it was after I had been working with the map to check supercharger locations and prices after parking in our garage. There's a small indicator in the map view while parked that shows you the sentry status, but also allows you to...

    App is not connecting

    Then maybe not wifi as cause per se, but perhaps something hung in the network stack that got reset when I switched sources.

    App is not connecting

    I wonder if maybe it has trouble when phone switches from cellular data to WiFi because it seems to work fine away from home. A couple of times I have disabled WiFi on the phone at home and regained control.

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Just to update my earlier response... I've finally adapted to the regen intensity of the Model Y and now find it appropriate to my driving style. In fact I miss it on those occasions where the vehicle decides to reduce it. Still, I remain fully sympathetic to those folks for whom it's not a...

    Why is the CCS being adopted as the standard?

    The businesses that install government-subsidized and mandated chargers make their money up-front. Nobody but the EV driver is suffering when a charging station acts up or sits unrepaired due to underfunded maintenance or poor design. Tesla know that their entire business plan depends on...

    2023 Model Y rattles in the back

    One rattle source turned out to be our license plate. Even with 4 screws, there was still enough play to allow it to rattle inside its rubber frame. I bent the plate slightly to make it curved so that the center of the plate contacts the rubber mat of the holder before the edges do. Thus...

    How does Preconditioning work?

    Lol. It's a prefix, not a milieu.
  21. Nubo

    How does Preconditioning work?

    Nah, it's either conditioning or it isn't. Pre-conditioning would be something you're doing to get the battery ready to be conditioned. In other words, it would be "conditioning". It's just language inflation. George Carlin explained it best (also describing the "near-hit") but I decided to...

    How does Preconditioning work?

    The term "pre-conditioning" really bugs me on the way to the supercharger. I'm not "pre" conditioning the battery. I'm conditioning it. If we must have the term "pre" involved here, then it's pre-charge conditioning.

    Why is the CCS being adopted as the standard?

    The consumer, since the funky shape of the eventual design accomodated most of the popular standards. The consumer could now buy blades from anyone who made them with the combined standard, and anyone making blades that way could sell to the entire market. Blade choice was no longer tethered...

    Why is the CCS being adopted as the standard?

    Good points. For an older example, consider the shape of a double-edge razor blade. There really aren't any razors that match the shape of that central cutout. It's the result of a blending and accomodation of multiple proprietary standards prevalant in the early 20th century. The makers...

    Done with Tesla Model Y Performance after 2000km

    I agree the delivery process was frustrating. I want a little bit of hand-holding after paying that much for a new car. Other people seem to love or at least be ok with the Tesla approach. Our Y has maybe one of the last made with USS. It's a nice feature but I don't feel it's essential...

    It also doesn't help that there is more than one similar camera-looking icon in the stack!

    Regenerative Braking Reduced

    Keep in mind the battery has a lot of mass and can take considerable time to warm up after it has been cold-soaked overnight or for a period of days.

    Tesla’s Model Y SUV is being investigated for steering wheels that can fall off

    "Just push it back on" might work if you're cruising down a straightaway. In the middle of a crucial turn, the sudden loss of control might be more difficult to recover from. Even if you know how steering wheels fit, the shaft is going to be rotating from auto-steer as you're about to head off...

    Tesla's Dashcam let me down when I needed it the most

    Also in the manual: "NOTE: Several factors determine whether or not Dashcam automatically saves a recording of a safety- critical event (for example, amount of force, whether or not airbags deployed, etc.). Do not rely on Dashcam to automatically record video of all safety- critical events."...

    Is TESLA Launching a “NEW Hydrogen Car”???

    As I recall he did explicitly state that for most use-cases CH4 is far preferable to H2. I do also recall that he mentioned metallic hydrogen some years back, because the Isp of the fuel would be tremendous for rocket engines. Then again, metallic hydrogen is nothing more than a laboratory...

    A mouse ate my Tesla

    Had a rat move into our 1st EV some years ago. Seemed to have nested in an area that provided warmth during the charging cycles. I think that long-duration warmth can make EVs more attractive to critters. At the time someone suggested using a few dryer sheets to repel rodents from that area...

    Should I take delivery of MYLR DBM from Fremont later this month? [Posted March 2023]

    I've seen a lot of excitement about HW4 but I'm unclear on what it will actually add to the driving experience in practical application.

    Acceleration Boost option standard for all LR Model Ys?

    For me, the MYLR acceleration in standard mode is already HOLY SH**BALLS compared to any car I've owned in 45 years. Not sure who needs sub-4 second 0-60 but the world needs organ donors and salvaged Tesla parts I guess.

    Anyone have a 6MT car in addition to their Y?

    If you like rowing the gears, get an RX-8. You have to really work to get to the power of the Renesis engine. That was my last ICE vehicle. I drove manual trans since beginning to drive in the mid 1970s and figured it was "part of who I am" and I'd miss it dearly. I never really have since...

    Nintendo Switch charging in the rear

    I had similar questions about the rear USB-C ports' power level. Iirc I ran across a youtube video where they measured it at around 18 watts. That should be more than enough. I plugged an ipad and iphone both into a multi-headed cable off the rear port and both devices were charging nicely...

    What would you "pay" for the HW4.0 suite?

    Does it have enough processing power to wipe the windshield properly? I'd pay a couple grand for that. Otherwise, some proper wiper controls would be nice.

    Unplugged performance model Y performance brake upgrades

    If your main concern is brake fade then I'd think the brake pads would be priority. The lines will give crisper response. Not sure what the drive unit oil cooler does for braking? Other items would be things that improve heat dissipation (wheels with improved airflow for the rotors, slotted...

    Do the Oil and Filter Used in the Model Y Gearboxes Need to be Serviced?

    Depends on how good the filter is, I guess. Gearsets wear-in and polish the mating surfaces during the first several thousands miles of service -- such precision being impractical to achieve during manufacture. This results in a considerable amount of wear metals. In a gearbox without a...

    [Feature Request] Tesla Should Add the Ability to Turn Wireless Charging Off in Settings

    EXACTLY. So in that context, ideally most of the replies would focus on giving @OP what they're looking for but instead there are pages "you're stupid to want this" posts. A common theme on these boards for numerous queries, unfortunately. For my part I would suggest the possibility of simply...

    Changes coming, but what does this all mean?

    I certainly hope you were NOT asleep as that would have endangered your life as well as many others. Your Tesla got you to Costco, but it is not fully autonomous as the FSD moniker implies.

    Heated Seat and explaination of "Not Provided" on bottom of display

    "not provided" seems to be related to the music from your phone. I.e, it's not providing the car with a track title.

    FSD is a pipe dream anyway. Enjoy your car.

    Fix that buzzing sound with this one weird trick! [try using a tone generator app to find]

    It's the "cowl cover" and associated push-connectors as in the diagram below (item 4). However today the buzzing returned so I'm going to have to examine it further. May have to make some modification to improve the fitment; perhaps adding some felt/weatherstripping, etc... I'll upload a...

    Fix that buzzing sound with this one weird trick! [try using a tone generator app to find]

    Our Y had developed an annoying buzzing sound on certain road surfaces. Couldn't quite pinpoint the source as it only happened while driving. I'd eliminated any loose or rattling items stored in the console, frunk, etc... I wasn't looking forward to probing around under the dash where I...
