I agree, that's a reasonable desire: "I set it there, leave it alone!" It would be nice if they supported BOTH definitions.

@Resist, my car is currently on v.11.1 (2024.8.9), which was released about a week ago. @r1200gs4ok, can't you set an offset from the posted speed, either fixed or percentage? (Controls > Autopilot > Set Speed > Speed Limit) But actually I would prefer the behavior you don't like. When TACC...

The car was trying to go 50mph (the posted speed) on a twisty road. My hands WERE on the wheel, else I believe I would have gone over the edge when the AP let go of the wheel. After a few times of that, I slowed the car well below the posted limit. And no, it did NOT warn me before it stopped...

Not bad at all. However I did see one extremely crowded site in Springfield MO. I don't think I've ever seen a totally-full charging station before -- but at this site all 10 stalls were busy, AND there were 5 cars waiting in line! I assume that was due to increased eclipse traffic.

Ah, I guess they cut FSD to $99 just yesterday! Still not cheap but it's a lot more reasonable. "Foot over the accelerator" is exactly how I nearly rear-ended half a dozen cars last week. Apparently my foot is heavier than yours, and I end up overriding AP's ability to stop. I just suddenly...

@nate704 I accept that AP is a half-way freebie solution, but downright dangerous behavior (dropping autosteer in the middle of a high-speed corner) is a damn poor way to handle it. I'm amazed we don't hear more about fatal crashes caused by AP letting go of the wheel and the car going off a...

I took my MYLR on a 2000-mile eclipse-chasing trip, and I had a number of issues / complaints. Any insights? Autopilot was a godsend on the endless plains of Kansas, but not so good on twisty Ozark roads. The posted speeds were a bit high for the curves, and AP didn't do a very good job of...

Thanks @wwarren ! Doubt it'll help me for April though ...

Somewhat related: I'm happy with TACC. It works fine for me. But one oddity: sometimes it adjusts the speed when I pass a speed limit sign. Sometimes it doesn't. How can I get it to always adjust the speed, so I know I can trust it? (Similar to the door locks. Sometimes they lock when I...

Thanks, that's what I thought. When Tesla.com says "NACS adapter required to charge at this Supercharger" it would be nice if they'd clarify by adding "NON-TESLA vehicles require it." No news on the Branson Supercharger?

Right, but I'm not asking about CCS vehicles. Does a Tesla need an adapter at a NACS site? Or are they CCS-only?

Has there been any progress on the Branson Supercharger? I'm planning to go eclipse-chasing in April, picking up a friend in Branson. Coming from the NW (originating north of Denver) it looks like I could charge in Springfield MO, visit my friends in Branson (and probably juice up a bit with...

My brother has always insisted Tesla uses Google maps. He points to the "Google" note in the lower-right corner and considers that proof. However they are VERY different. * Tesla maps have different information, different presentation, etc. * Tesla maps have different data. E.g. T maps are...

@stevehollx I have an Android phone so this may be a different issue, but ... My autoplay wasn't working, and I finally figured out the app setting on the Spotify app didn't allow it to run in the background. All I had to do was open the app and it would start playing... duh, because it...

Aha! I may have figured it out. About once a week, the phone would pop up a message complaining that Spotify couldn't run in the background. But I was always driving at that point, and it did play when I opened the app, so I didn't dig into the options to figure it out. Well a few days ago I...

I tend to suspect Spotify, since just opening the app is enough to kick-start it. If it was a connection problem, opening the app wouldn't do anything.

When I got my Y a year ago, I started using Spotify with Bluetooth. No Premium Connectivity. I was pleased that it worked the way I wanted: when I left the car, the player paused, and then it automatically started up again when I got back in the car. Well that worked for a while. But for...

My front passenger tire had a barely noticeable leak from the time it was new. Maybe should’ve taken it in for that, but I didn’t. And now (9 months, 7500mi later) the leak is speeding up. Usually it’s not too bad, but it has lost as much as 8–10 psi in 24 hours. How should I service it? Just...

I'm back from my 2400mi trip. I managed to stay a bit closer to the speed limit this time (honest, @Pianewman!) and it DID make a difference. * Around town I usually get about 250 Wh/m * Last fall, driving about 85mph most of the 2000mi round trip, I averaged 340 Wh/m * Last week, driving about...

I'm not saying the car has to detect crime. I'm saying that I personally don't believe it's a crime to open a door from the inside, and it shouldn't sound an alarm. An inside person is a trusted person. If the alarm detects the smashed window like it should, then there is no need to sound the...

I didn't realize Camp Mode affected security settings &etc! I thought it just held the temperature in the cabin so you could have a comfortable night's sleep. EDIT: I see it also disables the walk-away lock. I would hope the car would alarm long before a thief tried to open it from the...

Umm. You may be onto something there. Last night, after settling into my sleeping bag, my phone notified me that the doors were unlocked. Huh, okay, I told it to lock them. That's the first time it's done that, and I don't think I've ever locked the doors myself when camping. I just checked...

I'm on a road trip in my Y, and last night I parked at a busy roadside rest stop for the night. This morning before sunrise, I needed some facilities that the car doesn't provide, so I hit the door button on one of the rear doors. First time nothing happened - it just woke up the indicator...

I generally drive 80-85mph on interstates, and I find I get lower mileage -- about 300+ W/mi vs 250 in town. More air resistance at high speeds, and almost no regen braking. I'm leaving on a 2500mi trip next week, and I plan to try driving at the speed limit for a change. See if 75mph makes...

I don't have an iPhone, but... my phone seems to have extremely limited range for unlocking the car. I normally keep it in my back pocket. When I walk up to the car, I pull the handle and nothing happens. I continue pulling the handle. As soon as I turn and get the phone within about 6" of...

My phone (old Samsung S8) has to be within about 6" of my MYLR to open the car. I usually carry it in my back pocket. I'll walk up to the car and pull the handle -- nothing happens. Then, still holding the handle, I turn and aim my butt at the door -- poof, it pops open. Auto-locking is a...

Amazing... over 400 replies in 3 weeks, just for blue/white/etc! I know Tesla is selling a pantload of them, but I'm amazed so many new owners have found there way in here already. Driving my blue/white/19/etc since last July ...

Yup -- 2023.2.10.

Still using the original OEM memory stick. I'll try pulling it, and reformatting if that doesn't help.

Hm. Interesting idea. I'd be surprised if that's the cause, but it's worth a try. No, it's not booting up. It's up and alive as soon as I enter the car -- I suspect it's ALWAYS running. All functions are working, some just not quite as they should be. It just (sometimes) acts odd and...

That makes sense for conditioning the battery or warming the cabin, but why would it have low volume and frozen nav screen !?

My Y sometimes "wakes up" slowly: The screen brightness doesn't update, leaving me blind while I back out of the garage. The map doesn't update. The stereo volume is very low. There may be more, but that's what I've noticed. After about 3-5 minutes it finally shakes off the cobwebs and works...

Aha! Yes, the small musical note on the left side. Hadn't noticed that, but it seems to do the trick. I see you can also swipe it to get charge stats and tire inflation. I'd noticed the "three dots" that indicated there were 3 panels, but it didn't do anything until I displayed the...

I don't have Premium Connectivity, so I listen to Spotify on my phone via Bluetooth. It has always displayed a status panel with the song / group and other info. Now that panel is still there if you go to the Bluetooth page, but leave Bluetooth and you lose the status panel. So you can't see...

Huh. Yes that DID work. But I've tried clearing everything (cookies, history, etc) on Edge, which I seldom use and never installed any extensions/etc, and that didn't help. BUT now I can log in through normal windows in Chrome or Edge! That didn't work an hour ago. Did running Chrome in...

Is anybody else having trouble logging into tesla.com? I enter my credentials and, after it thinks for a while, it says "That page isn't working right now, www.tesla.com redirected you too many times." I get this on Chrome and on Edge on my Windows laptop. Clearing cookies/etc doesn't help...

Heh. No dialer, but I do have to ring Daisy-Lynn the operator to place calls for me... 😁 No, it's not disabled or anything like that. It just doesn't work until it's very close to the B pillar. I'll walk up to the car, pull the door handle, nothing happens. Then, still holding the handle...

Yes. I started playing Spotify through Bluetooth fairly recently, and it worked great. When I exited the car, it stopped the Spotify player. When I returned to the car, Spotify automatically started playing again. Exactly what I wanted. Then a week or two ago, that stopped working. Every...

I also picked up my car at Loveland (see Bad delivery experience) and I rejected the first one. Some panel issues, but mainly a lot of paint damage. They tried to convince me to take it, but I said I’m not paying that much money for damaged goods. The replacement car was perfect so I would...

Sure, you wouldn't want the Bluetooth to be enabled from 100' away or whatever. But it would be nice if it would work from 5-10' ... Hm, true, could be the OS saving battery. The app IS the biggest drain when I'm not using the screen. Well that's a drag, but toggling airplane mode is...

I frequently have trouble with my phone key. The range is terrible. I can be standing right in front of the A pillar and it won't recognize me -- because I keep my phone in my back pocket. I have to turn around and practically bump my butt on the door to get it to see me. Is this normal /...

My app has never auto-started. But then I saw some of you are running Android 13. I checked, and my phone is running ... 9. That's what I get for running a 5+ yr old phone (Galaxy S8). It still works fine and I was in no hurry to update it, but ... maybe I need a new one after all.

Yeah TMC added the photo, so now you can see what an old geezer I am. 😁 But nice to know that I "sound young" !

Ooof, yes. The cheapest shipping is $23 more than the price of the shade I linked! I think the shade will do fine for me.

The EVglass makes it a "double pane" by trapping a layer of air. Why wouldn't a fabric shade do the same? What do you like about the SUMK? I liked the light color of the one I linked.

I actually don't object (much) to the hands-on requirement. It's the "kick me every 15 seconds and force me to joggle the wheel" that drives me nuts after a few thousand times. I'll have to work on the "continuous slight pressure so it never nags" technique. Those are actually the exact...

@wadood Can you clarify: is Navigate on Autopilot part of the base configuration? Or do you have EAP or FSD? The Tesla site is a bit unclear but it looks like NoA is part of the $5000 EAP package.

@MichaelP90DL yes that's the quick/easy fix I mentioned. @Evpowerdan the way I calculated it was independent of battery size or range. I just determined the average I paid at Superchargers and the average Wh/mile. $/kWh * kWh/mile * miles produces $. The kWh and miles cancel out.

@Earthsiege you're a stronger man than I am to drive 24 hours. I used to drive to Iowa in my Saab, with just one quick stop for gas/pee/food in the middle -- long 13-14 hr day. Now I have to stop more often to charge, but the now-16-hr drive still wore me out. My old bones don't like the long...

Most states allow overnight parking/sleeping -- see e.g. Which States Allow Overnight Parking in Rest Areas? - Boondocker's Bible Even the states that supposedly don't allow it, generally do. They don't want to disallow the "tired driver needs late-night rest" case. You can't pitch a tent...
