My 2017 Ford Transit Connect has an auto wiper function that has a little dial so you can adjust the sensitivity up and down. It works great, never have problems with it like in my Model Y. A simple function like this would be really nice.

100% my thoughts as well. I don't see what the use case is for this thing, other than being a novelty. Sure it's cool and all. 12 grand cool? nope. I don't even think 99 a month is really worth it. I don't think at this point I'd pay for that on a road trip. I had the pleasure (?) of...

You could probably paint some wine lines in your garage to make it look like a parking spot and use autopark. Or do the same thing with white duct tape.

Yeah, I'm aware, and that's a good point. I did that a while ago on a trip to get Enhanced Autopilot. To me, 200 bucks for a month isn't really worth it though. I'm going to try FSD on a 900 mile road trip in about a week, I'll see how it does but I think I'm like you in that I don't want...

Another thing I'll note: I just checked my State Farm Drive Safe app for the ride home I took yesterday using FSD. It flagged me for too fast acceleration several times when FSD was in use. I thought it was accelerating fairly quickly from a stop, this just confirms it.

You're not wrong. I just don't see what the use case is right now, especially for $12k. Yeah it's pretty cool that it can sort of drive itself around supervised. But until it can do it completely unsupervised (or even minimally), I just don't see what the point is. Believe me, I want to like...

I have cynical a theory that the reason he likes it so much is because he never drives himself and FSD is a way for someone to drive him around without having to pay them.

I've a similar experience as you. I've noticed the speed limit thing as well. It seems to just randomly decide that the speed limit is different, and not even from seeing a sign. I use TACC and Autosteer all the time and have never noticed the speed limit issues like on FSD. Probably going...

Yeah it's there, once it's playing, slide the bottom part of the screen up (the part below the car that shows what's currently playing) and there will be a little shuffle option. It's similar to how shuffle works in other music apps in the Tesla UI. I wish there was a way to just hit shuffle...

Came to this thread looking for a case that would work on my iPhone 15 and this works great, thanks for the tip. Had a clear plastic case before that was magsafe but I guess the case was too thick or something, couldn't get it to stay charging consistently. Wouldn't even work without a case...

Way over due. Completely agree that the Spotify UI is vastly superior. I’m still on Tidal though because they have a cheap military/veteran option, and because I'm probably too concerned with sound quality (Apple music is even worse than Spotify in that regard). Not to mention Tidal's Alexa...

The wait will finally be over soon. https://electrek.co/2023/12/07/tesla-holiday-update-leaks-and-its-a-bit-of-a-weak-one/

ITS FINALLY COMING!!!! https://electrek.co/2023/12/07/tesla-holiday-update-leaks-and-its-a-bit-of-a-weak-one/

Thanks. This worked for me. Recently (I’m assuming after an update), my Model Y wouldn’t do off peak charging anymore. I occasionally take long road trips where I want it to charge to 90% or greater and finish at the time I leave. I used to be able to set the off peak end time to my departure...

You forgot to correct my kw usage too. But yes, you're right, was going to put hours in there but figured it was implied.

This. Lots of comments here about the stated range not matching up to what Tesla claims. It's never going to match up. I'm not even sure how that estimated range on the screen is calculated (though I'm sure there are those here who do know), because often it won't really match up with the...

LFP? No. I'll charge to 100% just before I depart on a road trip. I use the off peak charging to set the off peak time ending right when I plan on leaving. Recently I've scaled back a little bit from my obsessive charging regimen. Now I do 50% on weekends and days where I don't need to go in...

Go into the Autopilot section and make sure everything is enabled. All the things described in this thread require you to positively enable them and acknowledge some things.

I recommend switching to percentage instead of miles and you'll never have to worry about it. That miles remaining figure is not particularly accurate, certainly not accurate enough to sweat 3 miles. Also you're never going to drive that down to zero miles so having the total miles displayed...

Well it was quicker than my expectations, which were low. I realize that's a dumb thing to think for a $60K+ car, but such is life. Overall I think the whole thing is stupid. The minivan I bought back in 2017 brand new for 27K has rear parking sensors and can even detect and warn you when a...

I just got the update and I’m happy with it. I’d give it a 7/10. Having come from a M3 with USS to a vision only MY it’s nice to have the parking assist back. It’s definitely not as accurate as the USS but it’s better than nothing. I’ve noticed it’s a lot more conservative than the USS but...

No, the Model 3 was a long range, so as far as I understand they have the exact same battery, which is why I'm confused about the different behavior.

Since I've been driving my Model Y, I've noticed it's preconditioning for supercharger behavior is much different than my experience in my previous model 3. I couldn't find any similar threads on this here or or google so I wanted to see if other people have the same experience with their Model...

I was under the impression most SCs had wifi now that your car will automatically connect to, meaning you don't need a premium connection to stream while at a SC.

You just connect via Bluetooth and use whatever podcast app on your phone you want to use. The bluetooth functionality on my MY is very good (much better than my Ford with SYNC). My only complaint is a slight delay between pushing a button to skip/pause and it actually happening (about a second...

With trenching involved I don't think 4K is Was about to say the exact same thing. Trenching should be easy to do yourself. Unless your soil really sucks. 4K with the trenching involved seems a tad high but not crazy high. I think this might be a situation where the guy doesn't want to do...

I've had this happen once to me lately. In my case I went into the app and it was already back to charging (if it was ever interrupted at all). You can also have this notification come up if you're using scheduled charging and you pull the cable out before it gets to the charge limit. So...

Looking at your location in NJ I don't think you'd need one. If you want to spend the money to get one just to have, go for it, but I live somewhat in the same area as you and I don't feel the need for one. From Philly I've taken several trips of nearly 1000 miles in the M3 I used to have...

You're going to get lots of opinions on this. There are two basic camps one which will tell you not to worry about it and stick to Tesla's daily charge range (50-90), and the other that will tell you to charge to around 50%. Personally I try to let the car sit as close to 50% as possible...

While everyone is reading tea leaves for VINs and delivery dates I'll share my first impressions of getting to use the third row of seating after a few weeks of having the car. Just like one of the SAs at the Tesla Service Center told me, the third row is definitely for short trips and for...

Well, found a taker on my local free site, so disregard, no longer up for grabs.

I've got a set of OEM Model 3 mud flaps that I never put on my Model 3 and then traded it in for a Model Y. I just want them to get used and to not take up space in my garage anymore. Free to the first person who wants them and can pick up. I'm located in Delaware County, PA. DM for more...

One of the people working at the service center told me that the cars come to them in batches of colors. Which would explain why I saw a lot of other red M3s when I picked mine up back in June. Didn't notice it as much with the MY, but they were a lot busier.

The charging curve works like that. I'm sure others will explain it much more detailed than I can, but your fastest charging is when the battery is around 20% or less, you'll only get peak charging for a short time and then it'll drop off. That's why you usually only do from 20-80% or less at...

You can get Rim Savers and install them. This seems to be the cheapest way without buying different wheel covers. Though I wonder if installing Rim Savers would make it difficult to get the wheel covers off. You can also just get aftermarket wheel covers that cover the whole wheel. Like I...

I got the Tuxmats for the floor mats after seeing them in person on another Model Y. I'm really happy with them and the price seems very reasonable. Plus they came in packaging that can be turned into cardboard cars for your kids to play with. Genius. I also got this for the rear cargo area...

I did get a red one. The red looks even better in person than in Tesla's pictures (as I'm sure you're aware). And I already had a red charger faceplate so I had to get another red car ;) I opted for gemini wheels because I want to maximize the range, we upgraded from the Model 3 because we...

Congrats. Just took delivery of mine today after 7 months of having a Model 3. Lots of debate on this. In my opinion there are two schools of thought, one super in-the-weeds, the other not so much: 1. Figure out a charge limit that allows the car to sit as close to 50% as possible for as...

So much That's What She Said fodder in this zombie thread.

From reading earlier in the thread it looks like they just weren't pushing it in hard enough.

Picked up today (need to change my picture at some point). I thought I would be sad about giving up my model 3, but once I saw my new model Y I forgot all about it. The car was in excellent condition, there's one minor panel fit issue but honestly I don't think I would have noticed if this...

I'm in the leave it at 50% camp. But I'm also a weirdo that enjoys being exact about the charge limit so that the car always sits at 50% overnight. I go as far as to set it to charge to 57% and precondition by the time I leave for work, then it sits at work at about 53-ish percent before...

A glitch in the matrix then. My app will do weird things sometimes where it shows my car as entirely black. Not that you didn't try, but tapping on the percentage/miles will cycle between the two, tapping on the actual battery icon itself will show/hide the charge limit and amperage when it's...

If you tap on the battery icon it will show/hide the charge limit and amp slider. I can't get mine to go away so I think it's normally there all the time when you're charging, but it will show/hide when the car is not connected. If that doesn't work I'd also recommend forcing the app to close.

No, that must be a Texas rule. I did the same thing when I bought my Model 3, had it start on the day of delivery and be valid for at least 60 days (luckily State Farm does 6 months at a time). 3 days prior seems kind of weird, not sure why that would be required.

I asked one of the sales reps about this when I went to test drive a Y last week. He says that currently this is true but it will change at some point in the future, and 7 seaters will come out of Austin eventually. Hopefully by then they have matrix headlights at Austin as well.

I'm sure that's true, however Tesla wants a policy with my actual VIN on it. I uploaded my previous policy to appease them but at least here in PA they won't let you drive off the lot without a policy for that specific car.

Scheduled my delivery today. Delivery window never got below the 9 days currently in my signature, but the delivery day of the 11th is within that window. Called the insurance company immediately to change my policy starting that day and I think they kind of thought I was crazy, but I like to...

I did. I probably would have canceled my order were it not for the price drop (just couldn't stomach the increase in payment and I really love my M3).

Probably just me being cynical, but it had the effect of getting more money to Tesla. I can imagine if you bump up the arrival SOC ever so slightly across thousands of cars the increase in revenue would be substantial though.
