    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    I did a 300 mile round trip yesterday. I had to disengage FSD(S) multiple times, mostly for minor reasons, but one time it tried to change lanes in heavy stop & go freeway traffic with very low gap between two cars. Sadly I could not provide feedback at that disengagement. But other trivial...

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    Try changing the acceleration mode to chill. I have seen very smooth acceleration on my car, but I set it to chill always.

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    I haven't read through this entire thread, but I got the trial and whoa am I impressed? Hell yeah. TBH this trial may trigger me to pay the 15K for FSD. Its unbelievable smooth and careful. in fact in a parking lot, the vehicle came to a halt at a pedestrian crossing and I wondered why. turns...

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    Is there a reason why you want your Tesla vehicle to be at a down rev of the software / firmware?

    Optiwatt questions

    I signed up for Optiwatt. But when trying to connect to my Tesla account, I notice they require permissions to a lot of information like profile, location, etc etc. To me it is bit of a privacy issue. Does anyone else use optiwatt and still use it without any privacy concerns? I would like to...

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    Unlikely. Rivian, Lucid are all gunning for market share from Tesla. If anything X may see a sales increase due to it qualifying for the tax rebate. This may even prompt further cuts to enable the 6 & 7 seater configs to be eligible for the tax rebate. I would say there is room for another 10K...

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    Oh boy. Another 10K drop on the X and I will bite. Damn. So close yet so far. Edit: not trying to rub it in or be insensitive. I lost money on my Y. But it is what it is.

    2023 Model Y LR Poor Mileage in real world

    TBH, I am having a serious dose of buyers remorse at the moment. MY 2023 MY LR, gives me ~270 miles of range in mostly warm weather between 75-90F. This is mostly consistent with what the CR report noted. Andy I am nearly always on autopilot @70 MPH. While I agree its EPAs fault to have not...

    SW version upgrade from 2023.9 to 2023.26

    Thanks for confirming that there is an upgrade path to 2023.26. I was afraid it was limited to only EA or FSD subscribers. I am willing to wait until it has been beta tested by the ones who get it early. :-)

    SW version upgrade from 2023.9 to 2023.26

    I have a 2023 MY that I took delivery at March end. No EA or FSD. I was at SW 2023.6 and just got the 2023.9 update. I am surprised as I was hoping to get 2023.26 update which has some new features that I am interested in. Anyone know if there is an upgrade path from 2023.9 to 2023.26?

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Yeah man, I really wish teslamate would be supported on the RP1. I wonder what the technical reason is for the not supported status. Unfortunately I can't get hold of a newer RPI. I guess I am stuck for now.
  12. V

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    I still don't get it. I suspect you are saying teslamate won't install on the RPI1. But I was able to successfully install docker. But teslamate installation failed. Edit: I looked further. teslamate won't run on the armv6 architecture.

    I had considered it, but not interested in yet another monthly subscription payment.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Very interesting option indeed. Thanks for pointing this out. Going to explore this.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Good point. Thats even more reason to try and install on my existing RPi1.
  16. V

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Hmm. I was able to successfully install docker on the RPI1 using instructions linked from the teslamate docs page. I successfully ran the hello-world example. Why do you say docker won't run on the RPI1? I haven't tried installing teslamate yet.

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    I am ok to invest in newer hardware, but i already have existing older hardware that already runs a few useful applications. I am ok to run with some sluggishness and I am willing to put up with required debug etc. But if it really overwhelms the older hardware, I will certainly get a newer RPI.

    Thank you for your responses. I will try install on my raspberry pi 1 and report on how it goes and how well or sluggish it behaves.

    I am new to Tesla with the addition of a MYLR about a month ago. I discovered teslamate yesterday. I plan to install teslamate on my homeserver. A few questions before I start: 1. This home server goes to sleep after a period of of inactivity. Does teslamate require the home server to be on...

    Bike rack for model Y

    Oh only when backing up? Then thats good. I was afraid that I was going to get these alerts when driving forward on the freeway!

    Bike rack for model Y

    Thank you for the further insight. I am still deciding on which one to get. Its a bummer that the hanging and tray ones both interfere with the sensors. Especially with the latest update from Tesla there is the park assist, I am concerned that there will be constant alerts from the sensors. :-(

    Thats interesting. I did not notice that the SR version does not have a 7 seater config. Is the SR version using the LFP batteries and made in Austin? Maybe 7 seaters are Fremont only?

    Bike rack for model Y

    Oh wow, as I look through some of these threads and on the web, its getting confusing. there's just so many choices. Do you guys recommend the hanging on the hitch or the tray style on the hitch? I am not keen on going on the roof as i think its going to kill more range than the hitch ones. I...

    Bike rack for model Y

    Thanks all for the inputs. I am looking for 4 bike racks specifically as I am looking to carry 2 kids bikes & 2 adult bikes or maybe 4 kids bikes! Would you be able to post links to your recommended item? Anyone know if there are bike racks that fit the MY with capability for 6 bikes?

    Bike rack for model Y

    Just got a MY 7 seater with tow package about two weeks ago. I am looking to get a bike rack. I see tesla sells one for 540. Are there any other good options for a bike rack?

    Oh boy! Are some of us are going to have dose of buyers remorse? https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tesla-stock-drops-6-after-deliveries-figure-as-production-outpaces-demand-f71e72b1?mod=home-page Looks like price cuts are on the horizon but maybe only for the MS & MX.

    7 seat waiting room

    Your comment about 6 seater has me wondering why Tesla does not offer a 6 seater option on the Y? With the 7 seater the ingress / egress from the 3rd row is painful and it would have been much easier on a 6 seater. I think its more difficult on the MY 7 seater than on the MX 7 seater, due to MY...

    Charging question

    All, thank you for the inputs. I agree long term getting a 240V charger will solve my problem as I can just start at 12AM and charging to 80% daily or to 100 for trips should be done by 6AM. For now I am just going to keep it plugged in and not bother about charging time or duration.

    Charging question

    Thank you very much for pointing out that charging at 120V is less efficient than at 240V. I had wondered about that over the weekend as I noticed that the Y has some fans spinning or some like that as makes a small noise as its charging. Long term I am definitely getting a 240V charger put...

    Charging question

    My goal is not the cost savings. Its the attempt to do a constant 6 hour charge every night, rather than go beyond the 6 AM after which we are shuttling the kids to school etc. Its the simplicity of the charging that I was seeking, not cost savings.

    Charging question

    I just got a MY 3 days ago. There is no 240V outlet in the garage and I have been charging for the last few days from a 120V outlet using a mobile charger (with J1772) that came with my other non-tesla EV. While I do intend to get a 240V outlet in the garage, there in no urgency as my daily...

    I picked up my MY 7 seater on 03/23. Atleast a few fit and finish issues. 1. 2 wires protruding from the back of the 2nd row seats. 2. Minor paint blemish on the rear trunk door 3. Panel gaps between rear door on passenger side. but the tesla agent at the pick up location was in denial that its...

    7 seat waiting room

    I am actually surprised there is that many 7 seaters in inventory. If it was a couple of weeks ago I would have jumped in to get them. But thankfully i am scheduled for delivery on 03/23.

    7 seat waiting room

    Oh man. I hope you get it soon. Its so surprising & disappointing how Tesla fulfills the order backlog. I know others who got theirs about 2 weeks ago though their OD is 01/16. I hope they have a method to their fulfillment and its not random drawing of numbers.

    7 seat waiting room

    Thank you for the input. I assume I can make the payment after the inspection during the delivery? I am scheduled for 03/23 delivery. I am planning to go with Tesla insurance for now. So it maybe all bundled into the final payment.

    Yay. got a VIN assigned. I logged into my account and there was a disclaimer that the vehicle is lacking some sensors etc. I could not read it entirely as the page just auto refreshed and then there as instructions to go to app. Now in the app, it asks me to proceed with insurance and payment (...

    Yes, I agree reasonably low mileage used Raven MX will not be close to the <60K new MY. Thats why I wasn't really considering the MX. Additionally if we get the 7.5K rebate, its significantly lower than an MX.

    Yup west coast. Just two hours away from the Fremont factory. :mad: I hope you are right. My EDD is 03/17-03/31. No change since 3 weeks.
  42. V

    7 seat waiting room

    Haven't considered that option. But will checkout. I am a bit hesitant to get a 5-6 year old vehicle. An MX that is post raven refresh would be my preference. Have the Feds confirmed that full tax refund won't carry forward beyond Mar 31? I don't recall any news about it in the recent few days.

    Damn. Lucky you. I have a white , black interior, 19", tow package that I am still waiting for an update on. My OD is technically 01/15 10:45 PM, but recorded as 01/16. I have no idea why my order is held up. Frankly I am losing hope of getting it anytime soon.

    Unlikely. As per prelim report only the S & X have it at this point in time. Tesla Model S/X spotted with new Hardware 4.0 suite of cameras Specific from the article: He couldn’t find any Model 3 or Model Y vehicles at the factory with the new hardware.

    I sure am bummed! Based on some inputs from other members I was very hopeful of progress towards VIN and delivery by Feb end or Mar beginning. But true to the input there was an update, just that its one that I don't like. :-(
