This is the doodade Disc Brake Pad Piston Compressor you can go much more expensive on them if you want. Just do some googling on pushing disc brake caliper pistons back in.

Basic AP does not not change lanes for you.

Went by tonight, no real progress.

I’d like the left scroll wheel long press alternative function to be latching or “sticky”. I have it set to wiper speed and when I long press the scroll wheel to allow for the scroll wheel to adjust the wiper speed I’d like it to stay in that mode until I long press again. This way I can...

I don’t know of a service mode setting for this, though I don’t doubt that there might be one. A low tech solution may be to just put something heavy in the drivers seat to trick it.

The chill mode explanation makes a lot of sense. Is it possible that you are only changing the car mode while you are in park? There is a default “easy access” profile, if this is enabled and you are changing the drive mode before you are shifting the car into drive you could be only changing...

The etherloop stuff they mentioned sounds a lot like EtherCat or a slight variation on it. It’s an open standard used heavily in time critical control systems for things like particle accelerators. If you google around a bit you’ll find some good videos on how it works. It or something much...

Do you happen to have an easy entry profile and a driver profile? If so it might be worth checking both, back when I used easy entry I found I was often updating settings in that instead of my profile if I just popped into the car to change a setting.

Ars had a decent story on this recently : NASA says SpaceX’s next Starship flight could test refueling tech

I don’t believe there has been any announcements made yet but i would expect, based on the contents of the update, that if your car can run the latest release than it will be able to run this one as well.

The blind spot indicator seems interesting. I’m also fairly excited by the trip planner update. Not because it’s better than ABRP but because you can now send a multi stop trips to the car. I’m hoping that api is exposed and ABRP, google, Apple, etc.. will be able to send multi stop trips as...

This is great information, thanks for putting this together!

In the app under Schedule check that you do not have preconditioning set to on. That will cause your car to prepare itself at that time each day and warm up the cabin as well.

It’s the second I believe and there are more still yet. Tesla Autopilot not responsible for 2019 fatal crash, jury says

I’ve been pretty happy using the two bucket method to clean the exterior.

I’ve noticed mine charges a little extra if I have cabin overheat protection on.

I went through Murray’s CarStar in DesMoines recently which is a certified shop. The work was quite good, it took several months to get in but only took a few weeks to repair. Keep in mind that unless you go through a non Tesla approved shop that is willing to do PDR even minor scrapes and...

Back in January they got mine to me the day after the temp tag expired. I picked up the car in Portland so I think they had to do an extra step or two for my WA registration.

This is probably what you are looking for : https://shop.tesla.com/product/ccs-combo-1-adapter . Though if it’s an L2 charger are you sure it’s not a J-1772 plug? Typically CCS are only for DC fast charging as they have the extra pins. If it is a J-1772 then every Tesla comes with an adapter...

You beat me to it :)

I’m sorry this happened to you and glad you are ok! Sadly I don’t think you’ll have much luck with Tesla helping in this situation, they will most likely refer you to this section of the manual. Auto steer does ok on divided highways and freeways when conditions are good but outside of that it...

You’re doing great by the car! We all have the worry and read through everything when we get one with respect to charging. The only real advice is charge to what you need with enough of a buffer to feel safe (below 90 of course unless preparing for a trip). I started 6 months ago at 80 and now...

Most of ours are great but some have issues. For an accurate comparison I’d recommend reading through a BMW owners forum as well.

Was the profile showing Easy Entry? If you have Easy Entry enabled then your profile won’t take effect until you put the car in gear.

Make sure you are entering the password into the same profile you want to use the service on. I had this issue when I initially put some passwords in while it was set to the “easy entry” profile and the next time I loaded Netflix i was in my own profile and it didn’t remember the password.

I brought a check with me from my bank on delivery day so I don’t think final payment is due till then.

That is a pretty nice update! I hope they eventually add in the ability to add multiple stops and have those transfer to the cars navigation system.

I‘m not sure about if there is anything weird with how a leased car would be handled but assuming he isn’t planning on importing the car he might be fine. If he has to import it then it’ll probably be quite expensive both moving down there and then moving back and I suspect there would be a lot...

Exactly, I ordered a 3LR because I wanted a road trip car. Lots of range and AWD for fun weather and mountain passes. I have no use for the extra performance of the 3P and the RWDs reduced battery size is not appealing to me. The Y doesn’t quite have the same range and I just am not that...

I understand that you don’t want to deviate from your favorite path down there but it seems adding in a stop at the supercharger in Burns / Hines OR is mostly on the way and eliminates some of the problems. It’s kind of weird that ABRP doesn’t select that path immediately. As far as why some...

My wifi to the car is sometimes a little touch and go. I’ve had the app tell me the update is ready to download and that I should connect the car to wifi to start the download. So I *think* that the app can get the pending update notification regardless of the cars current WiFi status.

The app checks, I usually get the notification in the app before I see it in the car. Though I’m not sure if it sends a ‘notify’ event to your phone, I’ve just noticed it pop up when going into the app (iOS).

I had some fun with the Tesla and wifi recently, though I’m not sure it will help your specific problem. I have a Deco mesh network and the Tesla had a lot of issues with that. I think it was due to it not liking the mesh network and also having range issues at 5ghz and wasn’t switching over...

I bought my inventory M3 is OR and brought it back to WA. Tesla just charged me WA state tax and sent me the registration. I doubt if buying in CA is any different unless there are some weird CA laws in place to prevent such things.

It does not, it’ll even show you how long it’s been since it was updated at the bottom.

Hello, sorry to hear about the problems you are having that’s not a great experience in a new to you car. I don’t think any software updates are going to fix it and something is definitely wrong with the car. If you haven’t already done so I’d highly recommend scheduling a service appointment...

Congratulations on the new car! So far my favorite thing I bought for the car is a nice squeegee. There is a lot of glass and cameras on this car and where I live it rains a lot. https://www.oxo.com/all-purpose-squeegee.html

So far I’ve had decent luck with PEMCO which is a local insurance company in the same vain as BECU.

Congratulations on the car! Joe mode does help a bit, but I agree it’s a bit odd that the car needs to beep every time even just TACC is enabled.

Same.

On the Tesla website order page for the Model 3 if you click on “Feature Details” under the option to select a drive train it’ll give you a pop up with with the differences. The trick is you have to click the little downward facing carrot on the left side to see features other than range and...

I’m in seattle and have wondered this myself. I hope as long as one can get the car into tow mode or neutral it shouldn’t be a problem. But as you said if the 12v dies it probably will not be pushed and will need a jump first.

That explains a lot! Sorry about that.

I completely agree with the idea of being able to customize the scroll wheels! I’ve many of times wanted the right scroll wheel to adjust the wipers when not on autopilot.

I lucked out! There was a LR available in the ”current inventory” at the time. I‘m guessing someone had ordered it and cancelled waiting to see about the tax credit. Given everything that has happened this week they were probably smarter than me!😅

Congratulations! It really is a nice car to drive and I hope you enjoy it. Coming from an older model car I have been really impressed by how much safer the car feels especially when driving at night.

That is very useful information, thank you!

This is my first Tesla, prior to this car I was driving a much loved Subaru Impreza 2.5i that I bought new in 2007. However, it was getting older and I was increasingly having a difficult time justifying burning fossil fuels. So like many of you I put my wallet where my conscious was and took...
