    Future Tesla UI Integrations

    I’m glad we got new features, that weren’t really needed I added a kick sensor to my trunk left on my 2018, but I’m sure this will be a game changer and will never drive you crazy with your trunk opening up I have the Intel Chip, so I guess I am left behind on the immersive environment, Dojo is...

    Make your robotaxi predictions for the 8/8 reveal

    My prediction is on the 8/7 a fleet of about 20,000 of them will leave Austin for a US tour. Free rides for all influencers. He might even add cold air thrusters, cyber mega fart mode, disco lights, CatQuest San Andreas Edition, a Bot will be included in each one to open doors, and handle...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    in summary what I felt happened with my car, which is a 2018 with lead acid, but I don’t think it makes much difference, when the car’s is computer detect a VCFault, it does not try to charge the battery anymore, once a proper voltage has been detected, as well as the plug under the seat, being...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    Just saying, charge the battery, not bypass the BMS or break apart the battery. I have done everything you said. that's how batteries work. The battery is from a newer Tesla and is probably chargeable. the charger is only $70 so I feel it is worth a try and is safe! But I have been accused of...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    What is the big deal about the 16 V battery?. You just need a 16 V battery charger. I posted the link earlier, you can get one from Amazon for $75. It is a battery. The reason they went with 16 V is it’s hard to do 12 V with lithium ion or LFP. The cell combination don’t give you enough overhead...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    I would not be that concerned about how much time you have once you hook up your new 16 V battery or your charged existing battery. I would not run the air conditioning, I really don’t have any idea but I would imagine you probably have eight hours. My 12 V battery only became too low after I...

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    Maybe so, I did not see a big improvement. If I am expecting too much too soon, when would br the proper time to be frustrated with the software. Backwards steps are backwards. The alternative is to focus on driver assistance instead of driver replacement. if they can figure it out, I would much...

    I tried the latest version Saturday night, it was a clear night, I was picking some one up at the airport, trying to get on 285 it missed interstate and took the frontage road. I did not impress the weary traveler that just flew in from Portugal and just wanted to get home. I am over the...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    Most of the errors seem to be from the low-voltage battery not being fully charged I don’t think there’s any need to disconnect the low-voltage cable Just the plug connector underneath the rear seat. Make sure you have the low-voltage battery fully charged Reconnect the low voltage battery...

    I could never get the auto sensing of the Alpine subwoofer amp to work. it would stay powered up when I had it directly powered from underneath the rear seat. Also, my LED lights would not turn off, and sometimes the stereo would continue to play once I’ve locked the car. The Alpine DSP is...

    This is exactly what I thought AI could do. You would think it would know I’m a couple miles from my house. Garage preconditioning. I’m not saying dojo is smart enough to put out an absorbent mat, but I can’t either. I could just park outside.

    I did not know you had the newer car with the lithium ion battery. Still nothing really changes, it’s just a battery Here’s an inexpensive charger. You can get on Amazon.

    Yes, I am referring to the condensate from the air conditioner. I have never had this problem before in my Garage to this extent. it creates a pretty big puddle of brown water. no oil stain anymore, but I can’t say I enjoy the condensate emissions

    I really wish Tesla would use their technology to create a zero emission vehicle. Or at least it should use AI to recognize it’s in your garage. I love not having oil stains in my garage. But I hate having the Tesla brown puddle. It would be game changer technology if they could put a friggin...

    Aftermarket Model 3 tail lights?

    Just replace mine. I had added the T lighted logo and reflector lights years ago. I think Tesla made them stop selling the light up T. Between the lights and the automatic trunk lift I don’t think I could stuff anymore wires through the flexible conduit between the trunk and the lid.

    I do enjoy that part. Although I do enjoy using the finish product more, especially when it seems like the effort was worth it, like this sound. I’ve been living with the premium sound for five years, it was so disappointing. The difference is so significant. The Tesla subwoofer was developed...

I also cannot figure out how to get the output out of the RCA connector to drive my second subwoofer amp I can see where he...

    Tesla Vision vs Parking Sensors

    Put a fork in FSD and Robotaxis. I don’t believe this can be approved or insured in the next 5 to 10 years. Continue to develop the technology to provide the best driver assisted experience on the market. Start small on machine learning AI. now that we’ve had years of experience, a whole...

    Tesla Vision vs Parking Sensors

    I would suggest maybe try turning on your headlights when parking in pitch black conditions. If they’re gonna go vision only they should consider using an infrared.

    It is a quarter inch plate, so I only use three 3/8” mounting screws. The critical wire length is the power wire if you are going to relocate your rear amplifier. I have remounted my trunk opener. I don’t think it will be in the way of my subwoofer, but I haven’t put it in yet.
