Maybe some of the aftermarket manufacturers could make some money making an aftermarket turn stalk that actually worked like one would expect. Would not be that hard i think...Just need to make a stalk that detects a "fast" flick and extend the signal sent to the car to a lenght where it would...

The stalk in the S is not so similar that one could acquire one and retrofit it in the 3/Y instead of the stock one they put in a the factory. I have had comfort flashing in every car since about 2008 and in every other car i have owned or have, this has worked flawlessly. 4 cars since then all...

I tried the reporting, it seems to do nothing. In one place there is a road with 2 lanes in each direction, at some point there is a turning lane, made specifically for one house because on the rest of the stretch there is a rather wide grass divider. Every time i navigate there, it tells me...

This is exactly what i am seeing multiple places i drive. It applies some low speed limit, but fails to read or maybe because of faulty map data, the sign that cancels the speed limit and wants to drive with a crazy slow speed (50 kph in 80 kph zone) Here the law states that if the speed limit...

I opted to NOT buy the Tesla charger as it is very rudimentary, it does not support multiple features i wanted to have. I have solar panels so i need automation to be able to adjust the charge amps, based on solar output. I guess this could be done via for example Home Assistant and just adjust...

I can but i am not able to tell them it was only after a certain update it stopped working here, because in Denmark it has never worked in the 1 year i owned the car. As soon as i pass the border to Germany it starts reading the signs on the German autobahn it also works when i am not on the...

That's another gripe with this system Sometimes it will drive for minutes without warning, then it will start warning me and sometimes i only have to look at the steeringwheel sternly and it will detect hand on but sometimes i end up breaking it out of AP to be able to convince it, i have my...

You have to admit, it is a bit poor, making a system that can not detect you holding the steeringwheel in the position, where it is safest. (Atleast that's what i was taught when i took my license) I dont even hold it at 10-2, i just hold it at around 10 and rest my arm on the door, but still i...

Totally I often get the blue flashing....Not because i am not holding the steering wheel, but because i am not applying force. Imagine if the AP / CC also demanded you oscillated the accelerator a bit to show your foot was on the accelerator. The greatest thing about "Cruise Control" is, you...

The main problem for Tesla is, if they continue down this road, they risk losing costumers. If they keep this up, i bet this will be something i consider and actively seek to avoid, so if other manufacturers do not do this i will choose these. When i looked for a new electric car i very...

The ones i saw was like this 1. I got a strike because the car misdetected that i was not looking at the road. 2. Parked the car after arriving at destination. 3. Next startup i got a popup stating that i had, had a strike and i would lose AP for a week if it got 5 and also it said "1/5" ...

Well then that's the answer, the pedestals can have problems. I was just asking because maybe i did something wrong or maybe this was a knows problem with a fix.

The battery was not 48, the ambient temperature was 48 and the car had heated the battery for a "long time". Also, since i charged 1 minute at the charger that gave me 33KW, changed to another charger that instantly popped to well above 200KW i dont think it is a matter of a cold battery. All...

Hi Both sites has 250KW chargers. I agree that the first time could be due to cold batteries, but would it not be fair to expect a car plugged in for 30 minutes, charging, while the app says "Heating battery for optimal charging rate" would heat up sufficiently for it to be possible to ramp up...

Yeah same here. One stretch of road i travel, when i take an exit lane, there is a rather sharp turn to exit the motorway and go onto a normal country road. So...In the bend they set up a sign stating that the turn should be limited to 40 kph, its a square sign with an arrow indicating which...

Soo, the other day i got a call from work to go urgently to a site 200 miles from my home. My car was sitting in the driveway with 30 % SoT, the plan was to charge it the next day using solar power as the forecast said it would be sunny. Had to leave urgently so drove away with 30 % SoT and...

So they are able to plan ahead putting on gloves while still inside their house, in anticipation of their steering wheel being ice cold, but they are completely unable to plan ahead and turn on the heating in the car instead to make it nice and toasty before even getting into their cars. Seems...

I think it does it also when moving very slowly and while i agree with the "Do not turn wheels when stationary" i have to do it sometimes, because the roads are very narrow and it is not possible to do a rolling 3 point.

Do they not know the steering wheel is heated. ?

Yeah i find the amount of torque you have to apply to the steering wheel to prove you are holding it, is sometimes too much and it also seems to vary wildly...Sometimes i barely need to move it and sometimes i have to wrestle the steeringwheel to the point of breaking it out of AP to get it to...

When you get a strike it will tell you "This is strike X of 5, if you get 5 you will lose AP for approximately a week" Seems like a strike has no expiry, so if you get 1 a year, when you get the fifth after 5 years, you will be without AP for a week. (If these strikes had an expiry of....for...

I wholeheartedly agree

I think it's the first, will try the tests you suggest. If it is the first, is this something Tesla will fix under warranty ?

I am glad i am not the only one that has the problem where i look at the road and it still tells me to look at the road, and just like you i am wearing glasses so i guess they might distort the view of my eyes and make the car think i am not looking when in fact i am. With the weather improving...

The AP lockout can be for various reasons not only their claimed inattentiveness. For example. The max AP speed in the country i live in is set to 140.... The motorway speedlimit is 130 and with the misalignment between speedo and actual speed i need to do about 134 on the speedo to do 130 in...

I dont take my eyes off of the road for longer than it takes to do whatever i am trying to do on the screen, Tesla decided there is no need to have tactile buttons and put some settings in menu's that take a bit of time to do, what am i expected to do then. (For example...Turn on heated rear...

Yeah i have bought and installed one of those laptop camera shutters so i can block the camera or not. Problem is....When the camera is blocked the car seems to be even more aggressive if it thinks i am not holding the steering wheel. Normally it does the blue flashing screen but with the...

Try looking at your centre screen for a few seconds while in AP....Do this 5 times with no reset timeframe, and they will take AP away from you for a week, even though this feature is a standard feature of the car. Tesla : We moved all controls to the centre screen. Also Tesla if you actually...

Someone somewhere else claimed that every Tesla with the right equipment would get the 3 month trial. Is that actually true or is it only cars bought now ? (If yes, when will it be available, i have not seen any indication of it yet) I dont have EAP, but on the Tesla website it shows Autopark...

Another odd thing is. I have my home address set, the car charges there more often than not.... About 5 miles from where i live, there is a Tesla Supercharger, i regularily drive home from somewhere with a projected SOT of about 5% when i get home, and i will plug it in when i get home, but as...

Every other car manufacturer has a dedicated sensor made just for detecting rain, while Tesla wanted to save $2 and do it, using the camera. I bet it's hard for Tesla to get this working (As evident by their lack of actually doing it), but that's only because they cheaped out and did not...

Have had 4 different cars with autowipers since 2012, the first 3 had autowipers that just worked, they even had a dial to set how sensitive they should be and when i had owned the car for a little while and gotten the setting right for my liking, i never gave them a thought. The Tesla is...

The reason it takes forever is probably because Tesla decided they could just use the camera to determine if the window needed wiping, saving them from installing a dedicated $2 rain sensor, but in reality it is not possible to do reliable rain detection using only the camera.

On the back of trucks in Europe, they sometimes have small stickers looking like speed signs to show what speed the truck is allowed to travel at (I assume, reality is, they are there). Have tried more than once, the Tesla reading one of those and thinking it was an actual speed limit sign and...

Honestly if they just made the Navigate on Autopilot and the Auto Lanechange features into a package and sold it for maybe $1000 i would buy it instantly. I dont need autopark and Summon and Smart summon are MIA and have been since they made Vision only. Also these features seems rather...

To some extend this is how a lot of tech works nowadays, i can live with my phone having a small issue for 2 weeks after it gets upgraded to the latest version of android for example. What i dont understand is Tesla's mindset. If they get an idea, they seemingly start off by implementing it...

I agree, but on the other hand, it would be very hard / difficult to add an actual rain sensor to the car now. That being said, the obvious solution would have been to use a rain sensor until they were able to make something just as good with the camera I highly doubt they can....At this...

Makes sense. Thanks for the answer, i hoped that having a tesla and the Tesla app with a Tesla would mean i would be able to use that to charge the car "For cheap" :)

So i have a Tesla, i charge at the Tesla chargers here, as they are always cheaper than any of the competition and sometimes even cheaper than charging in my driveway (That's how socialist countries with insanely high tax on electricity, that charging companies do not have to pay, work) Well...

Hi My 2023 Tesla is nearing its 1 year birthday, i have done 20.000 miles in the car and have noticed that whenever turning the steering wheel at very slow speed / almost standstill there is a rubbing, groaning noise from suspension. Most noticeable is, if i want to do a 3 point turn on some...

That might be because Tesla (To my knowledge) is the only manufacturer that does not use a dedicated rain sensor, but instead just use the front facing cameras and analyse the picture to try and "guess" if the windscreen needs wiping. There might be a reason, they made dedicated rain detection...

I agree and i would bet that they would sell more than 6 times as many EAP packages if the price was lower. And yes, in the years to come they will need to make these functions standard on all Tesla's, as the competition includes this as standard. The whole "You need to pay $6000 for the car...

If i were to buy one of these it would probably mainly be to get Andoid Auto onto it. I have an app that shows me warnings slow moving or stopped traffic, dangers on the road (The other day a construction site roadsign flipped over in the wind and landed, bolts op just on the edge of the...

Yeah, that is a really great feature, i have had this since i owned a car that was a 2008, but was introduced in 2005. So a feature that every other car i have owned for the last 16 years have had this feature. Sadly though....This feature is NOT enabled on cars in europe for some stupid...

It's well worth it. I believe the car has a DAB+ tuner, but to be honest i havent used it even once or even set up a channel list, i just have a few streams on tune-in i cycle between (Usually i change channel to avoid advertisement blocks, i have developed a allergy to radio commercials, i...

Honestly here the rerouting seems dodgy at best. Have set it to not reroute unless there is a time saving of atleast 15 minutes. More than once it has suggested i get of the motorway, go through a city centre, because of slow moving traffic on the motorway, i never do this as i know the city...

When looking at what the car cost, it is a very low price. I even pay ~$15 a month here, but still worth it to avoid the hazzle of having to do tethering every time i get into the car.

Yes hotspot on the phone, connect to the phone wifi. Just remember that you do not get topographical map (Only basic map) and you do not get live traffic data with this solution. You can stream music and use basic navigation though.

Here they actually do. They arrive with a generator that can supply the 11KW that the car can accept, and they obviously only charge it enough for you to be able to get to the nearest "real" charger. If on the motorway, they do often tow it to the nearest charger, but that is because the law...

I would but there is really no good spot to put it other than directly inside the trunk. If there was some magical "foldable" spare tyre i could stow in the trunk under the floor or somewhere else, where it would not take up my trunk space i would.
