    Lyft vs Tesla

    Really surprised, the S is a nice car. Is this a policy change or has only Uber been allowing Tesla’s all along? You said the MS is new. Not salvage? Not 2011 or older? I’m guessing you’re 25 years old or older… Just a guess. What you need to drive with Lyft in Connecticut Drivers are...

    Why the extremely large Supecharger sites?

    Just a guess.

    Why does FSD keep changing lanes all the time?

    I find Minimal Lane Changes does very little (if anything) and it has to be selected again for each drive. If I let the AP do what it wants, I get boxed in behind and between slow moving trucks.

    Do i get a spec sheet when i test drive a Tesla?

    You’ll get a spec sheet right after disco comes back.

    Update 2023.44.30.14 Issue

    On the screen search for “Power Off”. You’”need to sit in the car for 2 minutes without touching anything. After two minutes open the door, it gets hot in there, the car will restart.

    Home charging

    If you can go with a wall charger and higher voltage do it. The issue with low voltage “granny charging” is you sometimes use more, if not all, power running fans cooling or heating the batteries. I’ve seen charging at 1 mph durning low voltage charging. In the long run some are spending more...

    Update 2023.44.30.14 Issue

    If your PC did this you would shut down, then restart (cold boot). Suggest you do the same.

    How can I make the “home” location more accurate

    Pretty sure that's the best you're going to get. Mine will hesitate in the street for a second then park to it's right, across the street from my house.

    Punctured tire/question

    Very true, same for a tubeless tire blowout, it just doesn’t happen. Run flats yes, but not a blow out. Modern cars report tire pressure and have an oral alarm when pressure is low. Run flats should be a thing of the past. The problem is when the nail is in the outer part of the tread and...

    Audio secondary battery

    You’re already driving a battery with wheels and doors. Why do you need another battery?

    Missing Frunk!

    In aviation that would be the pilots fault; Inadequate pre-flight inspection. You have the right to be mad, but you need to share in the blame.

    Best Way To Hardwire Tesla Wall Connector with Existing Wires?

    Seems like a lot of unnecessary work. If it was me, I’d simply pull some new wire. A pathway has been established, attach some mule tape to the old wire and pull it out. Then pull the new wire making sure it’s long enough to put the wall charger where you want it.

    Battery Charging routine

    If my daily usage was only 30% I’d charge to 50% nightly. From what I’ve read, that’s the best for the battery. Because of my driving I charge to 80% each night. About twice a month I go to 100% because I need that to get through the following day. When I go to 100% I get a warning that max...

    Tiny paint scratch on my new model Y- can Tesla help with repair?

    Many Tesla’s have a scratch there from the garage door. Look around when stopped at a light. Mine happened day one.

    Should I order the chargers separate from the car?

    Order it separately and get it installed before taking delivery. Same price. Only reason to order it with the car would be if you wanted it rolled into the loan.

    Newbie Questions (Avoid if newbies annoys you)

    I understand items like an impact or air bag deployment save the video too. Kind of weird to honk your horn AFTER a minor impact. Drag this item down to the task bar, you can tap it anytime you feel the need to save a recording.

    Newbie Questions (Avoid if newbies annoys you)

    1. Make the kids ride in the wife’s car. 2. The supercharger will pre-condition the battery, it just takes a little longer to charge. 3. Assuming you don’t have a model 3 a wall charger is the only way to go, pull power to where you want it vs behind the washer, dryer. Sounds like you’ve got...

    Vendor Question: Tesla Charging Stations Opening to Other Brands

    I have no issues with other brands of vehicles using the Supercharger network. I do have issues with other brands blocking two or three stalls when others are waiting to charge.

    Interesting take on wrapping the Cybertruck

    I have a sock that color, just one, can’t find the other one. Been looking for five or six years. I mean, it’s almost new and I hate to throw it away.

    For those of us with smaller puck holes... I can confirm, this puck (link above) fits and the O-ring holds it in! I had given up!

    Are FSD (supervised) users mostly TSLA shareholders?

    Spare tire necessary?

    I don’t think so and I’m on my second car without a spare, about 180k miles. I’m often on the road and more than 100 miles from home. With that much driving I’ve had my share of flat tires. Almost every road flat I’ve had has been a run flat. The tire was slowly loosing air and I didn’t know...

    Will the free FSD trial convince you to purchase FSD?

    I regularly vote with my wallet and that’s what I’ll do when / if the price goes up. About 10 years ago Netflix did something like that, they lost a huge market share (including me) and took them years to get it back.

    Warming up

    Because metal cars absorb heat? Weather stations record heat in the shade enclosed in housing that won’t absorb heat, often fan ventilated even.

    Poll: Do You Plug In Every Day (for daily driving, home charging)?

    During the week I charge nightly, I often drive 100 or more miles for work each day. On the weekend not so much, maybe 20 miles a day. I’ll go back on the charger Sunday night.

    GPS and cameras not working, first happened/noticed few days after 2023.44.30.14 SW update.

    Happened to me a couple months ago. Cold boot the car, on the screen, not the steering wheel. Issue resolved. You have to sit in the car with doors and windows closed for 2 or 3 minutes, so park in the shade.

    M3P may have caused vertigo in friend.

    This is my 52nd year of being a pilot, that isn’t vertigo. Every pilot has experienced vertigo while in the clouds, maybe at night with no horizon. Cause and effect is a big part of advanced pilot training. I’ve never had it last more than a couple of minutes.

    Will the free FSD trial convince you to purchase FSD?

    It’s kinda like a free trial of cocaine, use it for two weeks and you’re hooked. I was resisting until the pusher cut the price in half.
  41. fholbert

    Why no FSD trial?

    Just spoke with a friend. He said he never got the update, but the graphics got a lot better 1st of the month.. (Graphics improve with the update) Told him he simply needed to turn FSD on. Got a feeling a lot of people saying they didn’t get the update, did but don’t know it.

    Lower Subscription Price Coming?

    For $99 mo I’ll buy it. If nothing else, just for the better graphics. I drove 220 miles yesterday and 100 miles today. It has a few faults but I like it. Some Tesla got rear ended on the 91 east bound near the 241. The 241 was backed up to Windy Ridge at 2:30pm. It was creap and stop for 45...

    Type of lifting Jack ?

    Harbor Freight is your friend. They have low profile jacks. Remember an EV is heavy. A cheaper 1 ton jack isn’t enough. https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-low-profile-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-slate-gray-70482.html
