Before you go, did you have FSDbeta? What version of DrivePilot does your Mercedes have - how to does your Mercedes DrivePilot in real life do with: on-highway self-drive including highly curved roads and narrow highways with those temporary lane concrete barriers navigating off ramps and on...

Thanks again. Any reasons not to use the USB drive from Tesla? Dashcam turning off - I only did this to remove the drive and turned it on after re-inserting the drive. I found if I left dashcam on, I would at times get an error on the media (corrupted) when manually removing the drive since no...

You may also want to see this thread that I posted for issues with creating multiple partitions on a single USB: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/custom-horn-sound-issues-in-a-multi-partition-usb-flashdrive.318929/ Bottom line is that this seems to be very finicky and dependent on USB...

Tried two partitions (TESLADRIVE with TeslaCam folder and LockChime.wav both at root; MEDIA with Boombox, Music, and LightShow folders at root and custom horn sounds in Boombox folder) and no custom horn soundfiles were recognized. Went back to three partitions (TESLADRIVE, LIGHTSHOW with...

Thank you. The custom doorlock seems *not* to work (with 3 partitions, I haven't yet tried reformatting to two) if I unlock and quickly lock (lock sound returns to default beep-beep). But it does work if I've sat in the car for a minute or two and then lock (iPhone proximity walk-away lock...

Thank you, that isolated the problem, even as one file it did not recognize in custom horn tone menu. The issue must have been the file. I opened the MP3 in macOS Audacity, exported it as WAV (thus converting it) and now it opens (all 3 files showed) in custom horn. Interestingly, Tesla's USB...

This site indicates up to 5 sounds should be available: How to Change the Horn Sounds on a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y - Tesloid USA

I think you misread my post. My post is about custom horn sounds, not custom door lock sound. I have the one custom door lock LockChime.wav file set up OK in the dashcam's drive (partition) and know that's just one file / one sound. Other posts I've read: the first 5 sound files in Boombox...

Late 2022 Model Y, FSDbeta 2023.44.30.5.1, USB port in glovebox. I am only getting 2 of 3 custom horn sounds available from Toybox. I have 3 files - one is .WAV, two are .MP3s - only one of the 2 MP3s are showing. All 3 files show up in the USB app and play OK from there, and of course play OK...

Thank you. I also just found this app which is free and seems to have some European routes too: https://roads.porsche.com/en/porsche-roads-scenic-route-planner Looks like with any of these you have to manually "re-create" the route by adding destination stops within Tesla's navigation, to have...

When I only had 1 strike left, I forced a strike at the end of a drive, just before not needing to drive for a week, so it would reset. It did reset the strikes after a week. I find I get the warnings every few minutes even though I am paying attention to the road and both hands are on wheel...

Going on some scenic drives as I like scenic drives as long as I'm not having to drive. To ensure the Tesla follows a scenic route and not the shortest/fastest route, I think I will have to manually add stops / waypoints for each scenic segment. 1. Any shortcut or hack to plan out a scenic...

Thank you both! Very helpful. I work multiple sites and take subway to most of them. If I know I have >7 days between drives I may force the final strike so it resets. All my strikes have come when I *was* paying attention / mostly looking at the road (glancing at screen to check traffic) and...

Dozens of interchanges and I find FSDbeta handles auto lane changes and highway interchanges better. Does anyone know about the 7 day question? And exactly 7*24hrs if 7 calendar days not driving days?

Is it 1 week of driving or one calendar week even if parked no driving before restored? I have 4 strikes all for looking at map while driving or just not moving the steering wheel enough even though hands were on steering. Long drive coming up in 8 days no driving till then and I don't want to...

Might work! But I suspect I will cut myself :) Maybe a proximity-activated laser defense system... Still hoping someone has a clever idea, that would let me quickly unplug and put the mobile connector back in the car when not charging where it is quite safe. Fortunately

NYC can be prohibitively expensive to meet a condo board's requirements. I should have specified practically speaking the board won't allow me -- electrical engineer, electrician, lawyer, etc. Has anyone hot glued a padlock hook onto mobile charger that could go into a concrete wall hook...

I have the corded mobile connector. My condo assoc won't let me install a wall charger. I need a hack so there's a visible deterrent to teens who see the corded mobile connector so they won't try to yank it from car or just unplug from NEMA outlet.

Have a parking space in a condo building garage with a 220V NEMA outlet, mobile charger. The garage is easy to get into and has had multiple cases of teens sneaking in and stealing stuff that is left out like bikes. I am worried they will steal my mobile charger. Any ideas on how to secure...

Let me add my sadness with this removal. I bought the Tesla for FSD beta which truly is wonderful compared to other systems I've tried - works better and on more roads, and city traffic light recognition is amazing on roads like the West Side Highway in NYC which is 5 miles of...

I am really enjoying FSD beta compared to enhanced autopilot. Had to wait a year after paying then-full-$12k for FSD before being invited to FSD. It times whether to keep going at yellow or slow better than me.

On your new Model Y with no ultrasonic parking sensors - when you are parking, do you get a distance measure on the screen that is computed by the cameras alone? Or did that disappear completely with the "vision only" model? If still gives an estimate of parking distance: - how accurate is it...

What cleaners such as shoe cleaners work on the white synthetic? Anything? I wore some newer but several-times washed dark blue jeans after damp from a rainstorm - and now my Tesla's white seats, 1 year old very few hours - 3000 miles of driving only - are as stained as my other cars' light...

Suggest you check out this thread which includes hacks that seem to provoke ire of some TMC members but in my experienced solved this and let me keep two hands firmly but gently on the wheel without nags...

In case I need to try this / the above device stops working - can you take a picture please? How much Sugru and where, not sure I understand where. To above thread that kind of went off the rails - I am not advocating hands-free driving nor reckless driving! My hands-on, non-reckless driving...

As I said later in the LOOONG post :) I also tried keeping ONE hand only resting on the wheel, tried all positions (9 o'clock, 10 o'clock, inside on top of spoke, bottom). Same, still got nags unless I "jiggled" deliberately - incredibly distracting. As to weights - I think people should share...

I keep both hands on the wheel but have a very light touch and steering on comfort. With FSDbeta I started to get the silent blue-alert apply steering force nag roughly every 30 to 35 seconds it was incredibly distracting and IMHO dangerous (eyes off road to check the message on the screen...

I've also posted on the thread about ultrasonic sensors being removed, the USS are extremely helpful for manual parking.

The USS seem active on my 2022 Model Y on the highway also at high speeds and seem to accurately reflect distance to barriers and other cars. And of course exceptionally helpful for parking, better than other cars I've driven that have ultrasonic sensors for parking only - better in terms of...

It is strange because FSDb driving on city streets and highways / freeways is so much better than any other car manufacturer and keeps getting better. I was just reading about how Mercedes is boasting their S-Class will fully self-drive "on highways up to 37 MPH" (in Germany only). I was once...

FSDb usually is driving so well, and there is so often vast differences in traffic speeds on the West Side Highway and sudden slowdowns, and people honking in frustration all the time, sometimes the car has slowed from 50MPH to 15MPH before I realize it's due to a "phantom" stop sign / traffic...

Phantom traffic signals / stops in NYC on the West Side Highway and Brooklyn Queens Expressway. There are several places on the West Side Highway and BQE where FSD beta (and previously before I was invited FSD autopilot non-beta) slowed approaching a traffic control / stop light even though...

It's interesting I use FSD beta autopilot on highways with very weak lane markings, and vision detects the lanes superbly. So well, that it keeps dead center even when other drivers in cars next to me that I know don't have steering assist options start drifting to the edge of their lane (I wish...

I've deleted the spreadsheet as no one responded - replies suggest it was too complicated.

I agree. I started simple but realized there are 2*2*2*2*2 = 32 major combinations for which different distances away from space and in front of space may apply and anecdotal responses unless identifying which of the 32 combinations it applied to, would't be helpful. head in vs. parallel on...

I agree. I got FSD beta a couple of months after a year waiting for full FSD beta and it is amazing, and I always pay attention and keep my hands on the wheel but one hand or two hands, any location, I hold with too light a pressure to avoid the nag and applying torque sometimes disengages when...

I will be deleting the sheets and survey form about a week after starting - deleting 10/11/2022 - if no more than 10 responses on optimizing parking. So far, only one - me! As FSD beta regularly updates, we would need to attract at least a few responses every month or so in order to help drivers...

I find the ultrasonic sensors presently in the Tesla 2022 Model Y with visualization and number of inches distance are exceedingly helpful for me in manual parking in tight spaces, parking garages and the like, all situations where autopark does not come close to even recognizing a spot at the...

Hi. I've had a mixed experience with FSD autopark and spent some time on the forums looking for hacks to optimize its ability to detect a space and successfully complete parking, emphasis on the former (if it detects, usually it completes OK). I thought I'd start a new thread AND create a...

I am sorry you had this experience of your Model Y breaking down and an all-day wait. This is one of my fears - not enough service/dealer/towing network. All cars fail and Tesla has not built out a capacity to deal with this at scale and seems not interested in doing so. there is not a car in...

Would you be able to share how much you paid and does it work on 220V or 110V or either without a step-down transformer, where I park it's a garage with a a dedicated 220V outlet and reserved space but very expensive / impossible to retro-fit 110V or get permits for any additional hard-wired...

That makes total sense, especially as urban environments are the most challenging. Still, it would be nice to have it for when I'm not in the city. I wonder if drive out to rural upstate New York, dis-enroll and re-enroll, and log a few hundred of miles of throughway, and park overnight, I could...

This is helpful thank you. In NYC there are often double parked vehicles so I have to swing out around them. You can't go around too soon that would be dangerous, and many times on a one-way a car is double-parked across from a fire hydrant so you can't move to the left "in advance" but if...

Thanks! I tried this - dis-enrolled, made sure car was connected to wifi, went away for an hour, and requested to re-enroll. Safety score has reset! I will now get a hat with a feather and drive like I am 87. Fingers crossed no one cuts me off. My other question: 1. If I'm on autopilot and...

That is an excellent point. Lots of chances in the city for someone to cause an accident! And being too safe is itself dangerous (people more likely to swerve around you if you follow too slowly). So, I'm seeing some older posts that you can dis-enroll from FSD beta, then, request to join again...

I drive in city traffic where I'm cut off once a day. My Forward Collision Avoidance warning is set to early and every drive I get 2 or 3 when someone cuts me off. Every other drive one of them is close enough to count against my safety score. According to this web page, even though I've only...

I am reluctant for the bucket trick due to (a) bad back that hurts if I stretch the wrong way and (b) too little water seems like a recipe for scratching the fragile paint. nyccarspa.com - thanks - I will certainly try them when I need a detail, their website says they start with a 2-3 hour...

Do you know of something in NYC that is a quick drive-through touchless that isn't a detailing shop for Bentleys and Lamborghinis and requires having 4 hours spare or a PA to take the car for a detailing? Not all of us have Model S Plaid budgets or time!! :)

Did you find anywhere? I have the same question / need! Brooklyn preferred. Especially want a cheap true touchless self-drive-through just to rinse off the city grime and salt - easy to find these in California at gas stations and takes 5 minutes. I don't need a 30 minute to two hour detail...

This is not very helpful for someone who lives in an apartment building! They do not permit washing in the garage if you are fortunate enough to have parking in-building; and street parking can be many blocks from one's home / a water faucet!
