    Tesla IOS 4.31.5 and 4.31.6 bugs

    It appears that Climate Control page is fixed in 4.32.0. There are still few minor random bugs left. Navigate to destination works 50% of time and Charging stats sometimes don't show. Still, it's way better than before.

    Tesla IOS 4.31.5 and 4.31.6 bugs

    Interesting. I always see the same issue after I force close the app and start it again. It's random if I just minimize the app. Sometimes I see all options on the Climate page and sometimes do not.

    Punctured tire/question

    It really depends where the puncture is. If it's on the side or too close to sidewall then it needs replacement. I would recommend to either check with your local tire shop or identify the puncture yourself to see if it can be fixed before ordering new tire.

    Tesla IOS 4.31.5 and 4.31.6 bugs

    It is likely a temporary "fix". I can get Climate screen to work by randomly opening different screens within the app but the issue always comes back later.

    Tesla IOS 4.31.5 and 4.31.6 bugs

    I tested and the font size has nothing to do with this issue. The problem is not how the page looks but a sub screen that has to appear on the bottom of Climate Control page often doesn't show anymore. After playing around with the app it eventually shows irrelevant if font size is default or...

    loud sound accompany by a jolt while backing out of garage... video clip.

    I'm not sure how Tesla does it but my Mazda dealer also charged diagnostic fees which were included in the final repair bill. If the issue is covered under warranty then customer pays nothing in the end.

    Tesla IOS 4.31.5 and 4.31.6 bugs

    I tried to play with font size but didn't get consistent results. Sometimes it shows full Climate page after font size change and sometimes it doesn't.

    Tesla IOS 4.31.5 and 4.31.6 bugs

    The issue appears to happen after closing and starting Tesla app. After I start the app, open different screens and few minutes later I get normal Climate page. Not sure what changed in 4.31.5 but it never happened before. Similar issue with Navigation. It may not present a screen to send...

    Tesla IOS 4.31.5 and 4.31.6 bugs

    I don't think so. It is still supported by Apple and runs the latest IOS. Processor speed is plenty for my needs. No reasons to upgrade. People tend to follow consumer mentality these days. New car every 3 years, phone every 2-4 years and so on. Great for businesses but wasteful for population.

    Tesla IOS 4.31.5 and 4.31.6 bugs

    Climate Control screen sometimes doesn't show lower part of the screen with temperature controls, dog mode, etc. And other times it doesn't show icons for heated seats. Anybody else are having these issues? It started to happen in 4.31.5 and keeps happening in 4.31.6.

    Goodyear Eagle F1 tire damage?

    Google for "TIRE CHUNKING". Most sources are blaming road surface condition, gravel roads, heat, rubber compound, aggressive driving style. One source from Florida blames "shell aggregate in Florida asphalt". Maybe they use the same asphalt in Hawaii as well?

    Model Y Performance vs Y long range suspension

    MYP does have different suspension. It is stiffer and lower (less ground clearance). Different brakes too.

    Chicago area superchargers failing in cold

    You missed my point. It doesn't matter if he eventually realizes this or not. It was clear that some charges worked but few Supercharges didn't go "green". These few charges had an issue. Tesla wants to sell cars to many millions of people. Many of them are not tech savvy . Tesla needs to...

    Chicago area superchargers failing in cold

    Interesting demonstration. a. Few of Tesla charges didn't work. Tesla should investigate what happened. b. Tesla should display a large message for the end user to wait. Something like "Please wait. Tesla is warming up the battery and preparing to charge."

    Chicago area superchargers failing in cold

    The Tesla in this video was flooded before. Nobody wants to buy flooded ICE cars because they get never-ending electrical issues. It's likely the same for an EV. The service mode showed few issues with heating. I guess it affected car ability to heat up the battery.

    2023 Holiday Update Imminent

    Software update can't change resistance but may have changed threshold introducing less tolerance for high resistance. In other words, the high resistance was there before but issue didn't manifest until new version.

    Optimizing track mode for snow driving

    Correct. You have to go to track mode to choose your custom profile each time. There is one inconvenience with track mode when used in regular driving. The navigation is off when track mode is enabled. Instead it shows you map specifically designed for track use. It's great for track use but...

    Optimizing track mode for snow driving

    1. You can create and save track mode profiles with custom settings. You have to be stationary to enable track mode. 2. Normally the car tries to use rear motor as much as possible to save energy. During accelerations or if system detects slippery road then it engages front motor. Off road mode...

    "Select media Source"

    The behavior has changed for me with the latest software 2023.12.9. When I wake the car up it shows "choose source" but if I just wait for about a minute it more often than not continue to play the same song in Spotify that played before I exited the car.

    One Pedal Driving

    One Pedal Driving

    IMO, one pedal driving is one of the best Tesla features. Tesla did a great job making it feel natural, smooth and easy to modulate. Sometimes I drive for few days and won't even touch the break pedal.

    One Pedal Driving

    It doesn't really work in real life. You can't coast all the time. Just modulate accelerator and you get pretty close to coasting and when you need to slow down you save a lot with regen. I set regen to Zero (via Track mode) and went the same route I normally go. I got 360Wh/mi with Zero regen...

    Abnormal ‘22 MYP(erformance) battery degradation in 2023 SW packages?

    Regen braking can be set to "Low" in 12.8 according to notateslaapp.com https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2023.12.8/release-notes I would actually like to see an additional "High" setting. Normal is fine but slightly stronger would be my daily preference.

    Ready to talk tires?

    I like how 21" looks and don't find suspension too stiff. The only concern I have is a possibility of damaging rims if I hit bad pothole, Selling used 21" wheels will likely be less $$ than I have to spend on new 20" and I like how 21" looks on my car more. So, I've decided to stay with my...

    Ready to talk tires?

    It sounds like you have no issues with these tires, why to change? Michelin Pilot all seasons are excellent tires. I would just ignore the noise. Changing to 19" won't void Tesla warranty.

    @dimitar.ns I think it would be great if SEXY buttons were made in a form of a bar. Something similar to this center console USB extension bar in the pics bellow. It would perfectly blend with Tesla interior and could use USB power source to power LEDs and buttons.

    Battery health test

    Charging to 100% and leaving car for hours is not recommended. Your BMS calibration cycles will give you more accurate battery degradation data but may negatively affect battery health.
