Oh, I agree. I was just asking for a friend…

Can you turn the charge rate down in your car to make your parking even cheaper?

The OP (of this part of the thread) & others, including me, have had instances where the phone failed to work. Sounds like you've been lucky so far. On the other hand, our BMW phone key has never missed a beat but it uses the built-in Apple car key system.

Yeah, a backup in terms of everyday use. But primary in the sense that it is the "master" & must always be available if required. Maybe I'm using the wrong words.

Re Tesla considering the key card as the primary method. The manual says, "Always carry your key card with you in your purse or wallet to use as a backup in case your authenticated phone has a dead battery, or is lost or stolen." I've read reports of people saying that they had problems getting...

You need to carry the card with you. Tesla considers the phone key as the backup with the card as the primary. Do you have a phone case? If so, consider taping a dissolved key card to the inside of the case as your backup.

That would work for me if only the drivers mirror would tilt outwards enough. In any previous car, I could have it point outwards enough to cover two lanes and the traditional “blind spot”. In the MY, it only goes far out enough to see the side of the car and up a narrow lane towards the rear of...

I’m so confused by this thread. I opened it up expecting a discussion on Evie charging. But the discussion is way off topic on trains.

Then why is there a Tesla logo in the top right of this web page? Does Tesla know their registered trademark is being used on this website?

When I checked earlier today, the smaller older Port Mac site open to Teslas only had a wait time while the larger newer Port Mac site open to all vehicles had 10 available stalls. Why?

Ours does that sometimes. Could be off peak right now and shoulder peak starts in an hour, so saving the battery for that period? You don’t know the times, costs or expected loads.

I’ve been semi watching this today, using Vostok’s workaround above. I’ve had the system switch back to prioritising the car twice today. I think this has occurred when solar generation > house usage + 5kW. That is, when there’s too much power (> 5kW) to stuff into the Powerwall. To avoid it...

In my circle, pretty much everybody looks at ratings. There’s something quite wrong if it’s not a 5.

Hmm, I can’t remember exactly what my motor looked like to compare it to yours. I didn’t need washers though… I haven’t yet returned it, it I’m very nervous about anyone else using my frunk, for the sake of their fingers. I have put some sticky warning notes around to keep fingers clear of the...

Yes, still paired. In fact, there's my phone twice. A previous pairing before I deleted the app & reinstalled it which I had to do last time to get the COS option back again. I'll give the unpairing/repairing thing a go.

I’ve just turned off Charge On Solar to see what would happen. Those three dots were there while I had it activated but now that I’ve used the toggle to turn it off, the three dots have disappeared. See attached screenshot. There is once again no way to turn it back on. iOS app version...

Haha, yes. Although I've love to have 500+kW per phase... it would take me half a minute to fill up from empty to full... take that EV haters!

Yes. That’s also what I saw today. Three phase remained. Here’s a screen shot of the Wall Monitor app when the car was charging at 1.6kW at three phase off Charge On Solar. You can see that each of the phases is at 500+kW.

I had very similar damage to my Model Y. Assuming they are similar underneath, which they probably are, then expect about 4 weeks. However, it’s possible your Model 3 may not have the huge megacasted rear end.

It works now. This was an undocumented change in one of the recent updates, and comes with a nicely animated change of side camera views. I’ve not seen it mentioned anywhere in writing.

Yes but can you then turn it back on? When I tried doing that, I lost all dots and all ability to turn it back on.

This is definitely wrong on Tesla’s part. The house battery needs to charge first, since it need to get through the evening peak time. The car can wait and if need be charge overnight. The house battery can’t wait until overnight or we’ll be paying peak hour grid draw in the evening do general...

I would have been interested in a CliffNotes version of that video. It’s 80 minutes long so a bit hard to find that time, especially in a world where watching videos more than about 3 minutes long not in vertical video format seems insane… :)

And don't look at your Tesla screen showing 7kWh added to the battery. Because that means that it's drawn more than 7kWh to put 7kWh into the battery & you've gone over your free limit.

No I hadn’t tried that. I’ve just done it so will see how things go. I didn’t think that would do anything given that the app has been updated & presumedly fully redownloaded in the process. I had toyed with delete and reinstall but am a bit scared about what that will do with settings, phone...

Hi, on iPhone 15 with always latest iOS update and latest Tesla app updates, and a Model Y, I’ve been having problems with the Tesla app over the past few months. Now, it’s about once every day or so. What happens is that elements of the screen draw incorrectly. Some screen shots below...

It’s after midnight here so it’ll either be US time or Elon time.

I wonder what time. Not seeing it yet.

There are existing threads on this already. My review of mine is here: Why you should skip the powered frunk and grab a Satonic soft close frunk Another thread is here: Satonic Soft Close Frunk

I think the features you are expecting are more akin to FSD. Our cars are not equipped with this and you are expecting Autopilot to do more than it is programmed to do. I suggest you have a good read of the manual and what its limitations are.

Mine still requires the slight steering wheel force to be applied. With 2024.2.3. I prefer it this way. There’s a setting in the autopilot menu somewhere.

That was probably the intention but the practice was different. You could set the speed offset while in “current speed limit”, then change to “current speed” and the offset would hold. Now, the offset changes to 0 km/hr. It was probably a bug that I had exploited and they’ve fixed the bug.

I’ve just updated as well. Two other changes I’ve noticed: (1) Turning on auto navigate on highways (using EAP) has two ding noises whereas it was previously three dings; (2) it was previously possible to set TACC to have a fixed offset from the identified speed limit for when you long press the...

I have the updated navigation data, but not the latest software update (still on 2023....)

That's awesome, I didn't know we had that. It was great having that on our previous car. I suppose this only happens if we have the recirculate air function switched to auto. I've found that the AC likes having recirculation on a lot to help with cooling the car & maintaining the coolness during...

You are much braver than me in using AP on those roads! I'm intrigued at the data you're getting. What's the deal with NOX & CO at 100% in the top right corner?

Yes and this worries me with the thing I just installed. Might be okay here in Sydney, but what’s going to happen when we drive to the snowfields in winter, especially when I have potential skeptics in the car with me.

I’m not sure because I tested it only after installation & there was only enough play in the cable to move slightly. I just had a look at the Tlyard version and the mechanism of sucking the frunk hood closed is similar to my Satonic V2, except that the Tlyard version is a single piece design. I...

I've just installed the Satonic soft frunk close kit V2 & written a few comments here. I wonder whether it's possible to merge the two threads?

Ok. I had a clear couple of hours last night. So I ended up spending 4 hours on this. And now have a sore back. I have the Satonic V2, which is a two piece design. A motor unit pulls a cable connected via a latch attachment unit to use the factory latching system to pull the frunk closed. After...

I haven't connected the V2 to power, so I don't know what that release cable does. On the floor, the release cable connects to the motor unit & pulling the cable only moves it about 5mm before it hits a hard endpoint. I don't have a 12-16V power supply to test it without putting it in the car...

I’ve not been able to find a clear picture of the actual closing mechanism for this version. I have the Satonic V2 but am holding off installing it while deciding if I’m brave enough. The V2 has a cable with a loop on the end that loops onto part of the OEM latch. The only part that makes...

Yes. Latest version accessible to me anyway. App version 4.29.5-2203. The one where the release notes say that the powerwall widget should be available. Did a full restart of the iPhone 15 Pro.

Yes. And latest iOS. However, powerwall firmware version 23.36.3. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. When I add a widget, instead of the screenshot shown above in the OP, where there are 4 dots (2 = vehicle status; 2 = home status), I only have the 2 dots for vehicle status. After adding the widget, I can’t swipe sideways within the widget.

Not showing up on mine despite latest versions of iOS & Tesla app, and of course a Powerwall. Tried rebooting. I still only see options for adding the car widgets. Do I have to log out of the Tesla app & back in again? (Will this ruin my phone key?)

What API issue? If Teslamate seems to be working okay for me now, is there any reason to update?

When did you install it? If it was last year (2023), then it was probably a V1. I've just had the V2 delivered... debating if & when to install it.

Thanks for giving it a go. Would be interested in the results if/when you manage to get it.

Could you please clarify what you had installed? You've described here an auto frunk, but your photos show what appears to be a auto soft close unit rather than the full auto frunk (open & close type). Was this a Satonic brand V1?
