Thank you for the suggestion! I did as you suggested - which is to try running the update in the car(as opposed to my earlier failed attempts to run them at home). I don't know what else I did differently, but this time it was successful and firmware updated from 2.8.14 -> 2.8.15. Restarted the...

The ownice device stopped working for me sometime last week. When I go to the usual url: autoaibox.link on the Tesla browser, it fails and displays an error( something about an unsafe/invalid url?). I tried to run a firmware update, but even that didn't work. Is anyone else seeing the same issue?

@Ratm68 are you able to use voice commands with Android Auto by clicking on the mic button on the browser? It doesn't seem to work for me. The only way I can get voice commands to work while driving is by opening the Google Assistant app on the phone and then speaking the instructions into...

+1 for this Ran into the same issue a month ago- arrived at the same solution independently - i.e. using my wife's iPhone for the update while I use an Android!

I am on 2023.26.8. This past weekend I went on a 250+ miles round trip. Used autopilot (TACC only) for the first time, more than ten months since I bought the car. No PB events! Quite pleased with the whole experience, and a little bit surprised too!

This is great! Now if I could only find a prospective buyer to send a referral code to ...

Yeah, a referral earns 10K+ in credits depending on the car purchased by the buyer, which is enough to redeem for AB for 9.5K credits.

So I made some progress on this. I changed the following: 1. Unplugged my Ownice T3(user for Android Auto/Apple Car Play) which creates its own WiFi and potentially contributed to excess "Everything else" in the Energy app 2. Removed the PVC tube from the rear hatch gasket which potentially may...

My MYLR 23 model is now at 2.5K miles and I am getting around 300 wh/mi since inception and on recent drives/since charge etc. The energy app suggests climate and "Everything else" are consistently coming well over rated estimates. I am trying to figure out why this is the case as there weather...

I use Ownice with Android. I use the basic setup without the mobile hotspot and don't do any screen mirroring etc. Once connected via Android Auto(AA), I am able to make and receive calls via the car's app without any issues. Phone connects to Ownice wifi and BT, and also connects to car via BT...

I have been using Ownice with Android auto for a couple of weeks now. It mostly works, but one issue I can't seem to resolve is using voice commands with the google assistant. In AA this is the only way you can search for songs in the YouTube music app. It could also be useful for me with...

Many teslas including mine have that crackling sound you described when driving at low speeds. I had a service technician look at it when I first received the car - he said this is normal and nothing to be concerned about. I don't hear the sound when driving at higher speeds - so haven't...

Got my ownice T3 earlier this week and set it up today. The set up was quick, and the rendering looks great on the browser, but I have already run into some issues. 1. I think the wifi connection from phone to T3 is unstable - I see the android auto display on the browser drop out and go to the...

+1 on this. Wide angle mirrors have a huge safety case. OEM mirrors are not nearly as effective as these are in terms of blind spot coverage.

Thanks, I didn't know this. Will try the next time I am at a SC

For the sim card option, can I use any working sim? I have a spare one lying around from one of those free extra lines that T-Mobile was offering earlier - would it be compatible with this device?

I pay for premium connectivity but it's useless for music streaming on Spotify unless you have Spotify's premium account which I don't .I prefer YouTube music that comes with their premium bundle, so I end up using BT to stream music. So far premium connectivity has mostly been useful to...

Yes, sadly it doesn't :(

@PTVMan is there a link to that t-bone accident you're referring to? We're wondering if it is a feed from the B-pillar camera. If yes, we could get a sense for how wide an angle it is able to cover, especially closer to the fender side.

Oops - hit the send button too quickly. Seek to 5:13 in that video.

I am going by the info available here

It'll be very useful to access this feed to avoid scraping the sides of the front bumper in tight spaces.

I don't have direct experience with any, but there are a few threads here where people discuss them. Here is one example to get you started. Hansshow is somewhat popular for these type of HUD displays.

If you must have both the camera and navigation up at the same time, you can look into adding one of those 3rd party displays behind the steering wheel which can support turn by turn navigation thru carplay/Android auto and have the main screen display the camera views.

Yes, while that is technically true, I doubt they are going to producing many Cyber trucks anytime soon. They are going ahead with the paperwork necessary to make the changes for S & X which are likely to see them added sooner I'd imagine...

Forget the FSD pricing - your real concern should be the hardware. You don't want to take delivery of the X before HW4 is released. S and X are going to be the first ones to get it. I'd gladly pay an additional 3K for the advanced sensors + camera systems. Better still if you can keep the 3K...

Tesla officially stated that they don't plan to disable USS in cars which have it(yet). Tesla vision is also not active yet for anyone in place of USS afaik. So if you have USS + EAP/FSD, park assist + other advanced parking features should work for you. If it suddenly stops working, that is...

Good on you for digging more into this. When I asked a Tesla mobile service technician he mentioned this is going to be a heavy lift. Change in harnesses, USS sensors, cutting or replacement of bumpers, changes to software/firmware etc. Let's just say he didn't sound optimistic on the chances of...

Some good stuff here. I like how you chose to go with empathy rather than using the "You knew what you were getting when you bought the car - stop complaining and suck it up." lines that more than a few users on the forum choose to go with which benefits no one. On the paper loss on having...

Park the car somewhere else(maybe in a nearby garage) for your own peace of mind?

Yes, this. Having said that I don't know why changing that setting alone would make things work normally. When I get into my car next time, I'll try to look around and see if I changed any other setting worth reporting here.

Btw, I am on 2022.44.30.1

When I first got the car(late December 22) I had this issue where it would say that I have events but not display anything. I mucked around with the security settings in the car monitor and also the Tesla app to essentially set it to record only when away from home. I think soon after that I...

Looks like a CYA move on their part to also install the front license plate before you leave the dealership to avoid some liability. They should at least offer you the option to install your preferred mount, or if that's too much to ask, make you sign a waiver that you understand it's your...

Here in NJ most of the Teslas I have seen on the road don't have a front license plate, but that's supposedly illegal. I bought this as it offers a cheap alternative to sticking the plate mount onto the car. Also considering adding a front wireless camera to my USS-less car. Most of them I have...

The people who are fine with it are generally: 1. Those who still have working USS in their car and don't care as long as they aren't affected 2. Those who seem to think having these alerting systems somehow makes you a less attentive driver. I do hope they disable the USS functionality like...

Since their current director of Autopilot doesn't even know what an ODD means and is just as clueless on many other important topics (), I doubt they actually have any competent people working on making real improvements on ADAS features. My expectations from them on working driver assist...

Wow, that's terrible - sorry to hear that. Can these paint defects be fixed by Tesla service - is this covered under warranty?

I am not a fan of this - especially when doing a quick lane change to the left on a highway. Quite often when the car ahead of you is moving too slow or abruptly slowing down, I don't think it is practical to look down to your right at the screen before making a lane change to the left. It would...

We took delivery end of December. I had a detailed checklist with me that I went through.( Reference:Mike Seuss on YouTube) On delivery day, they were okay with exterior inspection but refused to allow interior inspection until payment was made. They wouldn't budge on this issue. Since we were...

I asked the SA who came yesterday for a mobile service about getting a USS retrofit. He said it's highly unlikely as it would be very involved with installing the sensors and doing additional work with calibration and software and firmware changes. Also didn't sound optimistic about getting the...

So you're telling me there's a chance?!

At this point, M3SR in NJ is a great deal. With the 4K state credit + 7.5K Fed credit + 7% sales tax exemption, the cost is equivalent to buying a ~ $30,000 ICE/Hybrid car.

Copy pasting from Slickdeals questions on the Tesla deal mojo-jojo26 01-13-2023 at 02:53 PM Yes, $2000 deducted from my model Y total after submitting registration (Owner/s name + NJ license + Selfie + SSN) details in Tesla App. Model Y long range + 20" wheels and no other upgrades = $54990...

If I had to speculate, I'd say recent price drops are only partially attributable to spurring demand, but may also be about flushing out inventory with sensor-less cars before they do a big model refresh with the latest sensors. When the new model comes out, pricing will revert back to higher...

I don't see any third party willing to offer such an insurance product for a meaningfully low premium. Knowing how volatile Tesla car prices have been recently, they would want a huge premium to offer price protection guarantee if they wish to stay in business. This product has to come straight...

They should either have a price protection policy where within a certain time of purchase there is a price drop, they offer you a price adjustment to match to the lower price. If that's too much to ask for free, at least offer it as a form of insurance for a nominal fee paid upfront. With the...

I don't think there has been any update on this. Given the limitations of the cameras' blind spots based on where they are mounted, I am not very hopeful for a solution that will reach parity with USS for distance measurement and object detection. But providing a working solution for non USS...

We'll, then we should shout it out to the rest of the world! Every time a potential customer hears this and is dissuaded from making a purchase - Tesla loses, and we, the existing customer, win as it gives them one more reason to think about customer satisfaction.

At this point it is in every recent Tesla owner's self interest to raise a stink about them. First we get hosed with the removal of a well functioning features without a readily available alternative, and now there is this large price drop. What's next - a new model release with shiny new HW...
