They plan to add button functions to the knob over time. Sounds like its a case of testing each function they migrate.

Just gets sent to my email, probably needs you to not opt out of news and event in communication preferences on the web site for your account.

Cloud seeding impact if any is very temporary, so likely not a factor. You are introducing additional condensation nuclei into a cloud that hasn't really got what it takes to rain. It would make little difference to a storm already laden with moisture and already forecast.

Definitely matters to me. Approaching retirement and will lose my company car allowance soon but am fortunate to now own my car outright now. Living off pensions/investments alone is going to be tough, so knowing I have very low fuel costs will let me enjoy retirement without worrying about the...

Worth mentioning that Ford, GM and VW amongst others have also made job cuts in recent months, they just don't make the headlines the way that Tesla does. The pain is across the industry right now.

Same for me on two different phones as of this morning, first drive on 2024.8.9. Toggling bluetooth off/on doesn't help, nor does power cycling the phone or reinstalling the app. The phones show as connected on the cars screen and you can lock/unlock by pressing the button on the phone app...

Of late there have been loads of US YouTubers doing FSD 12.x.x.x (supervised). This is the first one I have seen in rain

Use the numbers on this screen. Note how the projected range will change depending on driving style, weather, battery temp and road conditions. Use the 30mi number on a longer motorway journey.

Well the content isn't the same now as it was when first published.

He probably cannot confirm or deny particulars about company plans or timescales. Its not unknown for journos to speculate on something based on sliver of information to try and draw out things a company is not ready to share.

Dual lock is good, we use it at work. Very satisfying mechanical click when the two sides connect.

You might want to join their discord channels as they share lots of info about future updates, for example migration of button functions to the knob, they can only code and test a fixed amount in a given month.

Field Applications Engineer in embedded wireless, mainly Bluetooth and UWB stuff. Claim to fame, one of my products was involved in hacking a Tesla ... I should point out it was an off the shelf BT device and was nothing exceptional, just a surprise to see a picture of it being used for that...

And mine is regulary washed and then rinsed with a product that leaves a "coating" on the windscreen and rarely dry wipes, though doesn't wipe enough in drizzle/spray.

What Duracell did was solve a marketing problem. 😉

Looks normal for Tessie as well

Small price to pay 😀

Vaguely recall the Polestar matrix having something like 80 or so pixels. Tesla looks to be using Samsung Pixcell to get those 100 pixels. Samsung Pixcell isnt particularly old and is not exclusive to Tesla. Edit olestar Pixel lights use 84 LEDs and if Tesla is any where near as good as...

Looks similar to what I saw on a Polestar test drive although that was some years ago now.

I have builders working on an extension at home. The lock sound got their attention and now they can't stop asking about the Tesla, will be taking them out for a drive later...

I'm guessing you might be involved in technical writing of some sort 😉

That's the idea. If you live in a built up area, with street lights adaptive matrix is not going to be such a big deal as someone like myself who lives in a rural area, with no street lights whatsoever. Actually I rarely drive anywhere with street lights day to day. So for me it will be a case...

My fave feature is being able to pop open any of the doors, really handy when collecting people unfamiliar with Tesla door handles, especially in the dark, no more finger prints all over my doors!

It restricts access slightly but I can sill get at everything just fine.

My 2022 Model Y came with a 3 phase 22kW cable, tested on our Smart ForTwo which supports 22kW AC (very handy). Our Model Y only supports 11kW using the same cable.

A pair of UWB devices can do to way ranging. A pulse measured in nano seconds is sent fron one device to another and the second device processes it and sends it back. The original device will know how long the first device takes to process it and deducts the processing time from the round trip...

With some googling, I have seen reference to Tesla using Samsung Pixcell ADB but can't say its definite proof thats what they are using, Unless someone knows of a teardown video on YouTube? Pixcell looks to have been announced in 2021 by Samsung.

Do we know what system Tesla went for with their matrix lights, is it in house or did they buy in from an established supplier?

I don't think physics is the problem here. If you happen to have an IEEE membership you can read a paper on it here Vision-based rain sensing with an in-vehicle camera I suspect getting it "just right" involves lots of iterations and lots of learning data on the part of the NN. Tesla does...

Lots more features coming. Worth following them on discord.

Those ATs look so good on the Y but I can't really justify them.

Its certainly cheaper for me to charge my Y on Osprey rather than Tesla SC as have lots of Bonnet referral/reward credit. So always use the Banbury Osprey rather that the adjacent Tesla SC.

Thought that links states...

They have done it before nationwide ( im in Somerset)and was previously called power hour and was separate from the savings sessions that also ran last year. This year they have been rolled into one under Octoplus. Last year the saving sessions alone netted me £99 credit. Here is one of the 2022...

Not enamoured wishes the rear of the Y but pretty how it looks from other angles 🙂

I3 should take close to 50kW up to close to 90% SoC on CCS. Pretty decent charging curve for a 50kW max speed car. Typically we spent 20-40 mins max before being on our way again using the likes of Osprey, Instavolt and BP.

Not all Xbox controllers support Bluetooth. And then some support classic Bluetooth and others support Bluetooth low energy. Depends on the hardware version of the xbox controller. I believe Tesla is using Bluetooth classic rather than BLE, so there will be a subset of xbox controllers that work.

2 EVs + home battery and I still don't have enough places to put the energy generated from my 10 East 405W and 7 West 405W panels for 50%+ of the year.

Had my fuse upgraded by my DNO. The guy who came to do it even suggested I look at getting 3 phase as the overhead cable running along the street were already 3 phases. The biggest issue looked to be making space in my internal meter cupboard, the outside bit was not a problem apparently.

Yeah, a Tesla, at least the current ones really are overkill for a local run around. We have a smart ForTwo EQ Cabrio as a run around and it's awesome. It's pretty much our go to for any journey under 90 miles. Much much much nicer to drive around town than our Model Y. The turning circle is...

This shows the issue clearly. Very challenging for progressive varifocal users

MS Teams would be better for me but yes typically have about 4-6 conf calls a day and it would be nicer to do them on the Tesla screen rather on the phone screen when parked up.

My optician is aware of Tesla and was able to find me a varifocal lens (Hoya) that works well in my Y..it did take a couple of tries though.

I've got about 10kWh of useable battery and it's pretty much the sweet spot for me. I use a combination of Home Assistant, Solcast Solar forecast and a Inverter Modbus integration to charge the battery on cheap rate over night to a level that still allows maximum amount of excess solar during...

I see no signs of Tesla imploding, quite the opposite. The cars get better over time, they are now becoming more affordable to more people and they still are the best car to do long distance with some of best efficiency numbers. Can you elaborate on "self implode"? Fyi, have owned 4 EV. 4th was...

Was there yesterday, workshop is indeed huge. It's the old Wickes store

After speaking with mobile service technician it's been decided it would be best to go into the service centre for the charge port to be replaced under warranty, rebooked for later in the week.

I've not tried. This has been happening more and more frequently over a number of weeks, along side getting warnings in the car about the charge port not latched. If I was stuck somewhere then yes I'd use the release. Tesla have been particularly interested in when it started and how often it...
