    preconditioning for home charger cold weather

    If I am driving my Model Y when it is 20 F and I arrive home to my garage which is about 60 F, is it OK to just plug it in and let it start charging or should I give the car some time to warm up to 60 F either by waiting to plug in or by scheduling a start time for charging? Will the car warm...

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Well thanks for the info. I was feeling crappy and woke up around 2:30 am and saw these posts. The good news - I did it and now have my credit form. The bad news - I just ran an antigen test and it seems to be positive for covid. I hope this web page does not have a virus ;)

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    My android phone says the tesla app is 4.28.1-2149. Google says that on 1/3/2024 4.28.2 came out. How does the android app get updated? I am not good on my phone stuff. In settings / apps I don't see an update button, just uninstall or stop. If they are going to push an update to collect...

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Thanks. At least I know that I am not imagining things. I am in the same boat from February 2023. Please keep us updated if you hear anything more.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    If the app prompted you to enter your SSN and you did so, does the SSN appear on any of the documents in your folder besides this yet to arrive tax credit document? I bought my car on 2/26/2023 and don't remember entering a tax ID. None of my documents have any mention of a tax ID number...

    PSA - State Property Tax Overcharging

    I got a supplemental property tax bill this week for the Model Y I purchased on 2/26/2023. I went in and asked to have them explain. They told me that the bill was for March through August 2023 since the car was not on the main tax bill I got in July 2023. I expressed astonishment that I had...

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    That is what I am worried about. As far as I can remember I never gave Tesla my tax ID back in February 2023. So if they need to send both my Tax ID and my VIN to the IRS I don't see how that can happen. If I get the form without my tax ID I hope they will contact me. I have tried to contact...

    Funny FSD Beta Story

    I was driving home with FSD beta 11.4.4 and was on my 25 mph road getting close to home. There were three or four women walking on the street towards me, taking up pretty much the entire lane. I decided to let FSD handle it to see how it would react. The women stayed were they were since it...

    Cold Weather Tire Inflation Question

    With the temperature dropping to 40 F and 30 F recently I notice that my tire pressure dropped quite a bit (from 42 psi to 37 psi at 38 F). I inflated back to 42 psi at 38F and notice now at 29 F it is 41. I understand the relationship between temperature and pressure but was surprised that it...

    Swiped and wheel well trim pulled loose - while on FSDb

    Tesla Mobile Service came today and replaced the Front Fender Garnish. The part was $100 and $12 to snap it in for me. I also had the tires rotated for $65. All told I was very happy with the service and am grateful to have been spared a much more extensive damage.

    Model Y Camera Blind Spot?

    Was FSDb 11.4.4. I had Tesla Mobile Service install a new wheel arch garnish today and asked him about the blind spot. He claimed that there was no blind spot and that the incident was more likely caused by FSDb getting confused by the truck pulling trailer being where it was not supposed to...

    Kwh used by charging, Tesla App versus Electric Bill

    Lately I have noticed that the Kwh used per month on my electric bill has increased more than it seems it should based on the charge statistics in the Tesla App. For example, my last bill was 920 Kwh compared to 550 Kwh for the same month last year. The Tesla App says that I used 220 Kwh in...

    Model Y Camera Blind Spot?

    I recently got clipped by a pickup truck pulling a trailer. The trailing edge of the trailer kissed my right front wheel well garnish and pulled it off. I was driving with FSD and took control just as it was about to hit. FSD or collision avoidance did not sound any sort of alarm. FSD may...

    Swiped and wheel well trim pulled loose - while on FSDb

    I watched a video on taking it on and off and the clips that I thought were attached to a bolt like thing are actually push clips that have come loose from the molding and remain in the fender. That happened to the same two clips in the video. The clips can be popped out and inserted back into...

    Swiped and wheel well trim pulled loose - while on FSDb

    I was taking a turn on FSDb minding its own business and a truck pulling a trailer cut us off and clipped the front right corner of the car. The only damage seems to be that the plastic wheel well trim has been pulled loose. I don't think that there was any actual contact with the car itself...

    Protection against running over a person ??

    Not using FSD. I was stopped in the driveway at my uncle's house. I had him stand in front of my Model Y and slowly drove towards him. The car made beeping sounds and displayed a "stop" message, but I got to the point where the car was almost touching him and he had to jump out of the way. I...

    2023.26.10 automatic emergency braking unavailable

    Not sure I understand "it goes away almost immediately". Do you mean that the message only displays for a few seconds when you get in the car, but once it goes away the automatic braking is working again? I was thinking it was just informing you of the problem. Should the message stay up...

    2023.26.10 automatic emergency braking unavailable

    No, I have a vanilla car. Only floor mats, mud flaps and the Tesla paint protection film. Message started right after I did the 2023.26.10 update. I took the car out today and cleared the camera calibration data. Surprisingly it finished calibration in less than ten miles. The message still...

    2023.26.10 automatic emergency braking unavailable

    After I installed 2023.26.10 with FSDb11.4.4 I started getting a message "Automatic emergency braking unavailable." This message appears briefly when I first get into the 2023 Model Y (2/26/2023 delivery). Does this mean that it is not available for the entire drive? Reading other posts I...

    FSD 11.4.4 wide release??

    I have had FSDb 11.3.6 for 1.5 months now. I don't drive a really lot, but have been driving more lately. I just received an update waiting for 11.4.4. Does this mean I have been promoted from newbie status, or have they started releasing 11.4.4 to the population of newer FSDb users? I read...

    Sentry and cabin climate control battery drain

    Do Sentry Mode and Cabin Overheat protection draw from the battery all the time, even if the car is in motion? I used a bit more than expected yesterday. I had parked with sentry mode but did not turn it off when I headed out for a long drive. While on the drive would sentry mode be still...

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    I was just looking at the IRS web page for the tax credit and noticed that it said that Tesla needs to supply the necessary purchase info and tax ID number to the IRS and you in order for you to be able to obtain the tax credit when you file your 2023 taxes. I remember asking the delivery guy...

    FSDb 11.3.6 Violent Zig Zag at slow speed

    This happened after the turn was completed and I had gone five or ten feet onto the road I was turning into. I have seen the car do a tiny zig to the right before taking this left turn most of the time. It seems to be lining up so that when it enters the road it is lined up 100% with its lane...

    FSDb 11.3.6 Violent Zig Zag at slow speed

    Today the car stopped waiting for a left hand turn (due to oncoming traffic) on a two lane rural road. When it made the turn and was on the road being turned into, it suddenly made a violent zig zagging movement and seemed to come to a stop about 3 feet into the opposing lane, having crossed...

    FSDb a couple questions

    Thanks for the response. I have seen the "creeping forward for visibility", but the behavior I was mentioning is more like it comes to a four way stop sign with a car or two there but with my car having the right of way. The car pulls out about a third of the way but then stops and sits there...

    FSDb a couple questions

    I occasionally get a message about a pending lane change and the comment "use turn signal to cancel" or "tap to cancel". How is it expecting me to manipulate the turn signal if I were to want to cancel? Signal the opposite direction? More often I end up at a four way stop sign intersection...

    Music stopped working on my Model Y

    Well, after I wrote the previous post I went out to put the Model Y into the garage. Wouldn't you know it, the voice command to play a song was working again. I am not sure, but I might have been driving with FSDb and navigate on autopilot when I tried to do the voice commands that did not...

    Music stopped working on my Model Y

    Sorry if I come off as a dense newbie, but I am a boomer :) I got my Model Y at the end of February and after the free month of advanced connectivity expired I bought a year. Up to the past day or two I used to be able to press the voice button and say something like "play Sting" and it would...

    How to end a trip with FSDb?

    I went for a drive with FSDb. I said "navigate to xxx restaurant", started out, double tapped the stalk and FSDb started. It drove to the restaurant, but I did not want to actually go to the restaurant, I was just playing with FSD. I touched the "end trip" button on the screen to finish the...

    FSD Audio Disengagement Notes

    Are you supposed to record every time you do a disengagment? I had one yesterday where at a stop sign, the other driver waved for me to go but the car did not and I ended up disengaging. I had a couple other prompts for something like I was navigating to my house but giving my neighbor a...

    New User - finally got FSDb report

    I subscribed to FSD on 6/1 having 2023.12.5.4 and had to wait until today, 6/15 to get an update to 2023.12.11. This turned on FSDb for me. I have a 2023 MYLR with only cameras from 2/26/2023. Here is a description of my first time out with FSDb that I wrote on another forum. I bought a...

    non-beta FSD does not see yellow speed limit signs

    I have 2023.12.5.3 with non-beta FSD. Still waiting for an update and offer of bets, but that is another story. There are some speed limit signs that are yellow and say things like "25 ramp". The Tesla did not change the speed limit for this type of sign? Another question. Is the software...

    Big Red Warning - autopilot (basic FSD)

    I have had non-beta FSD for about a week. Still waiting to be offered the beta. I am on 2023.12.5.4. This morning I was driving on a semi-rural two lane road with lines painted and using the auto pilot feature. Just as I came up to an intersection where my lane had nothing and the cross...

    Newbie - should I buy monthly FSD?

    I did the subscription on 6/1 with 2023.12.5.4 and had FSD enabled that evening. As of noon 6/3 I have not seen any sign of an update. I took it out for a short ride yesterday to test the stop sign feature, which worked well. Trying to turn right at the stop sign was a bit confusing and it...

    Newbie - should I buy monthly FSD?

    I got my 2023 Model Y USA at the end of February. It has camera only. I currently have firmware 2023.12.5.4 which was installed yesterday. I would like to buy FSD for a month to try it out, but worry that I might not get beta or that too many features will be disabled due to camera only. 1...
