    no calendar access

    Heh, apparently I'm a doofus. I could've sworn that the Calendar was accessed via the phone menu, but I've got a standalone Calendar icon in my main menu..... which of course works exactly as it should, with addresses pre-loaded and navigation links presented for any event that has a location...

    no calendar access

    Not to piggyback on this but I'm having a similar problem. Android. Tesla app IS set to share calendar (Menu > My Profile Photo > Calendar Sync is on) and phone allows the app to access Calendar (long press app > info > Permissions include Calendar). Have disabled and enabled both, both...

    MASTER THREAD: Removing marks from white seats

    Holy smokes! I just got my bottle of Inside and the Gyeon kit today. I waited a few hours for the products to warm up to room temp because I had no idea how long the box had been sitting on my 20-degree porch, but I just used the Inside cleaner on my white interior seats. The dye that had...

    MASTER THREAD: Removing marks from white seats

    Was the ink removal after Gyeon treatment + baby wipe (as I'm presuming) or just stock untreated leather + baby wipe?

    MASTER THREAD: Removing marks from white seats

    I'm a little late to the game but thank you for sharing this. My M3LR with white interior has only 5K miles (March 2022 delivery) and the seats have been doing well, but I just began wearing a new pair of dark jeans daily and have noted a slight blue hue has begun to get picked up on the seat...

    Modern Spare still recommended?

    Just ordered this, got the full kit with jack and tools. They're supposed to begin shipping later this month (it's November 10 as I write this). Since it's still a preorder item, the free shipping option (worth $48) is still available. So my cost, with tax (7%, Indiana) was $478 for the...

    This is Beta, yes? What is the schedule for an official release if so?

    Frunk opening itself after 2022.36.2

    We're good, man. :)

    Frunk opening itself after 2022.36.2

    Sure. But if the front-handle-triggers-frunk fix were stable, I would expect that 2.9.9 would be moved to the release queue. It hasn't, and the feature triggering my frunk behavior seems now to be clearly related to that, so 2.9.10 is off-limits to me until it graduates to become a release...

    Frunk opening itself after 2022.36.2

    I appreciate your enthusiasm and passion. You work IT, I'm a retired Engineer. The only variable that changed prior to the behavior I noted was the latest OTA. Occam's Razor, my friend. And, admittedly, I didn't mention the S3XY buttons because they hadn't changed. They weren't on my radar...

    Frunk opening itself after 2022.36.2

    So the beta has moved on to 2.9.10, implying that there are still issues being worked. I'll either just disable the V3 door handle logic or disconnect the Commander completely until the bugs get worked out.
  12. DrWhoDey

    Frunk opening itself after 2022.36.2

    I do! I'll check on that. S3XY FW updated to 2.8.5. Rebooted the car (two button hold). Exited the car. Frunk opened. Lol. So that's not it. Or 2.8.5 is flawed. Where did you get your info about the S3XY buttons possibly being the root? I can remove the Commander and see if that...

    Frunk opening itself after 2022.36.2

    So this is weird. Got 2022.36.2 OTA last night. Went to the garage this morning and my frunk was open. Closed it. Unplugged the charger. The frunk opened. Closed it. Rebooted the car. Opened the driver door to get out. The frunk opened. Shut the M3 down via Controls > Safety > Power...

    Scheduled Charging

    Disregard. I found this page: https://tesla-info.com/tips/schedule-charge-departure.php Which clarified things: 1 - On the Charge Screen: Enable Scheduled Charging set to OFF 2 - On the Departure Screen: Precondition set to ON, Departure set to 9:00 am 3 - On the Departure Screen: Off-Peak...

    Scheduled Charging

    tl;dr..... if I want 100% charge at 9am tomorrow, what settings in the app should I be using? (Sorry for the hijack, I've got a specific use case to ask about.) I'm so happy I found this thread..... I've got my first road trip set for tomorrow and have been struggling with the app to try to...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    I had surprising luck with them on my stock M3 steering wheel. The Regen button is on the center bottom, adhered behind the 6 o'clock position "strut", while my AP toggle button is at the 9 o'clock position right at the base of the turn signal. Put the AP toggle button on at the same time as...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Will do. PS - Just took it out an hour ago and Regen was at the normal 100% setting upon car power on. I guess the act of me asking for help "fixed" the problem, like the squeak that goes away on its own when the mechanic is being paid to fix it. Lol. I'll document the prior behavior, keep...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    So.... this is probably self-inflicted but I'm getting some weird behavior from the Regen toggle function and I'm at a loss to figure out what I did wrong. I've got six S3XY buttons installed and all of them work great. One of them is a Regen toggle, mounted under the steering wheel, which is...

    Tesla 2022 Model S and EVgo Charging

    I hope I can add some clarity. Chademo, CCS, and J1772 are all physically different connectors - like USB-A, USB-C, and Apple Lightning. One of these cannot be plugged into a port designed for one of the other two - they are shaped completely differently - and none of them are compatable with...

    Tesla CCS Combo 1 Adapter - Comparison of Just a Few Possible Storage Options

    FWIW I just took delivery of a delayed Harumio package yesterday - CCS-1 Adapter and their S3XY Case - and it included a blue pad. I know this precedence does not establish a trend or a new policy, but it's possible that newly-fulfilled case orders may include this. Curious - I'm reading...

    Seriously. What is your max amount you'd pay for EAP?

    The weighted average right now (33 votes, 30 of whom would buy EAP) is $3766. So if Elon is watching, $4K seems to be the sweet spot.... although with a higher take rate there's actually more total revenue at $3K. Assuming TMC voters are a fair representative cross-section of US Tesla owners.
  22. DrWhoDey

    Bring back EAP (to USA)

    If that's accurate, and if making EAP available at half the FSD price results in 3x the take rate, that's $2B.

    Water Leak [ingress during car wash]

    Same here. Touchless = wet frunk. Automatic = dry everywhere inside.
  24. DrWhoDey

    Bring back EAP (to USA)

    In New Zealand, FSD is NZ$11.4K and EAP is one-half of that at NZ$5.7K. In the US, FSD is US$12K. So with nothing else to go on, I'm guessing $6K for EAP here. Hope I'm wrong. I could swing $3K, maybe $4K if I stretch it, but $6K is just out of reach for me.

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    I did the cleaning prep bit as well, just wondering if the steering wheel itself is made of some material that is unable to be adhered to securely? The location is certainly flat enough to maximize the area of contact, and the other buttons have no issues sticking to the metal backside of the...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Okay, for all y'all who are mounting button(s) on the backside of your steering wheel, are you doing anything special to prep the location before placing the button? I ask because the one time I tried doing this, the button fell off within five minutes. I have a 2022 M3LR built in February...

    Understood, and I'll be happy to try all those steps once I have the Beta. But .... where do I get the Beta from?

    Can I use this SSD for Sentry recording?

    I am not familiar with that brand, but if it's reliable then the advertised 1050 read rate should be sufficient, but be certain it has no slower than a 500 write rate for use as your webcam drive.... You will be writing more than reading, after all. There's a sticky thread at the top of this...

    Scanmytesla + S3XY Buttons?

    Hey everyone! I've just installed AO's S3XY Buttons, whose controller is supposed to work with Scanmytesla (Android) via a Wifi connection rather than Bluetooth. I've got everything purchased and installed, yet I can't get Scanmytesla to "see" the S3XY OBD Commander. I believe that the app...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Hey, thanks for the quick replies! I'll go remap the +25 Regen to 0% Regen - I never expected it to be a toggle but in retrospect that makes a lot of sense. And thank you for explaining the hardware changes Tesla made which made the v3 logic necessary. I appreciate having a solution that...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Everything is set up, firmware updated, buttons linked, mapped, and installed. So far so good. However, I can't get the frunk or charge port smart actions to trigger the way I want. Trying the half press since I don't actually want to open the door(s) but no joy. I see there are v2 and v3...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    You mention it's expensive. It that based on what you paid vs the build quality, or is it because you paid more (presumably, $45 v $25) because you ordered them individually rather than being able to bundle them?

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    I wish I could add a poll, but since not I'd be very interested in knowing what commands everyone has assigned to their buttons and where each one is mounted. I'm installing today on my M3LR and I'm planning to start with the following, but would welcome others' solutions as well: * Mirror...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    I neglected to notice that the case is a preorder and they're gonna wait until both items are ready before shipping. So delivery will be 7-10 days after a date in the first week of June: NOTE CCS1 Adapter Case: Pre-order. Shipping will start in the first week of June 2022 onwards. If you have...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    Just this moment ordered the CCS-1 and the Harumio S3XY case. (Friday 5/27 3:30pm ET). It's Saturday over in Korea right now so I'm expecting a slight delay before they see and fulfill the order, so I'm NOT expecting the type of 7-day turnaround that others have seen. Lol. When it gets here...

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    If anyone was on the fence about buying these, they're on markdown for Easter right now. I got the Controller + 4 Button kit for under $200, and there are 10% off coupons floating around that gets them down to $180. Unknown how long the pricing is good for, considering that today IS Easter...

    Okay everybody, thanks for your concern (lol). A second reboot fixed the problem. I know you're all relieved. :) As an aside, when touching the Sign In button and being presented with the screen below, the email address field originally pre-populated with "@tesla.com". I don't know that I...

    2022.8.3

    So this is mildly annoying.... Just got 2022.8.3 and now Slacker won't work on my M3LR. I've had the car for a month, got Premium Connectivity (if that matters). Never had to log in to Slacker, it just worked from the day I took delivery. Apparently it's been logged out due to the OTA update...

    N00b TACC Questions

    Got it. The double-pull into Autopilot was what I had engaged. Thanks for the clarification, I mistakenly used TACC and AP interchangeably. I figured out TACC on my own... single pull to set my cruise speed, right thumb wheel to adjust up/down, and the car automatically reducing speed for...

    N00b TACC Questions

    That's odd. I mean, thanks for the info, but the car clearly knew the speed limit. When I engaged TACC initially it determined that 67 was the correct setting, having displayed 60 as the speed limit and complying with my +7 setting on the Autopilot settings screen. If the car didn't know...

    N00b TACC Questions

    Hey all! I took delivery of my M3LR a week ago and got a chance yesterday to play around with TACC. Some of the behavior was unexpected, and I frankly don't know if it's due to my inexperience with the feature or if what I thought made sense to me isn't quite how the car is programmed...

    PSA: MY price increases by $1K

    MY prices have gone up by, what, $10K in under 18 months? And still, people are still lining up to get on a lengthy waitlist to buy-up every single one. Demand for EVs is at an all-time high, and Tesla is the only company able to fulfill that demand. The investment they made in themselves...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    When I was boasting that my M3 will cost less than 1/5th in "fuel" what I spent on gas on my Kia last year - 8000 miles at 20 mpg is 400 gallons x $4/gal = $1600 in fuel - a buddy in OH told me about the EV road tax and wondered if I had factored that into my math. Turns out, my state (IN) has...

    Graduation Day! Today's delivery in Indy was flawless. I arrived 30 minutes early and found my car by walking around the lot. She was unlocked and hooked up to a Level 2 charger and was at 87%, so I did an external visual inspection (paint was fine, gaps were fine, nothing was awry) and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Valid question. Yes. I have seen it happen to folks here - dunno about Model X or Y waiting rooms, I'll let rollermonkey weigh-in on those - but when it happens it's infrequent. Usually because the car didn't arrive on time, or was late and they got behind with their prep and inspections. My...
