    Free Free: sub-trunk organizer

    Clearing out my basement … free sub-trunk organizer, came from Evannex I think. Could use a light clean but otherwise in good shape. Pick up only from Washington DC.

    Lucid Air vs Tesla Model S

    The UX is good and getting better. I like its simplicity and, as I mentioned above, CarPlay is great. But there are some features I miss from the Tesla - sentry / dashcam in particular. I'm sure these will be added in future software updates. I don't miss the arcade games, video streaming...

    AC Air Flow Lessens After Some Time

    It was a warranty repair :) Still working fine when I sold the car in March.

    Yup - thoroughly enjoying my Lucid :)

    Tesla Mobile Charger Adapter for Pacifica Hybrid

    I don’t know if there’s a difference between the two versions of UMC, but I gather not all adapters contain the right circuitry to translate from Tesla’s data protocol to J1772. Case in point: my neighbour got a cheapo adapter and it wouldn’t charge his Hyundai from my Gen2 wall charger unless...

    Lucid Air vs Tesla Model S

    Having collected my Air GT yesterday I have to say my experience differs markedly from yours, oldsport - I absolutely adore it so far. Tesla makes great cars, I've loved the ones I've had, and Tesla is currently way ahead on the tech front, but the Lucid is pretty awesome. And it has Apple...

    FS: 2020 Model S Long Range Plus

    Congratulations, I wish you and your MS many special memories together. Via a Raspberry Pi ... take a look at teslaandroid.com, there's also a thread on the Model Y forum and a handy subreddit. It's pretty easy to set up, and the latest implementation is smooth and robust.

    FS: 2020 Model S Long Range Plus

    Here's another comparator - fewer miles, and different colour scheme, but functionally identical. Sold for $58,500 which suggests I should lower my asking price to somewhere around $57,500. Make me an offer, it can't hurt. I'm out of town this week but when I get back I'm having the car...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Yup, looks like it ... went down to FL for the weekend, arrived back after midnight (thanks American Airlines, for the four hour delay ...) and the update was waiting. Alas I'm up in MA now until Friday so won't be able to play with it until I get back. It'll probably be superseded by then ;)

    FSD Beta v11.x

    For anyone who simply must have it now, the answer is easy: just buy my car :D

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Not sure why I got it, then ... I had my first drive on it yesterday, out to see my PDR guy and back again. As with the previous version(s), it tried to kill me (or other people) several times. Maybe I should make some youtube videos ... ;)

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Sure does.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    11.3.2 waiting on mine, too - need to go outside and turn the wifi on, for some reason it's been turning itself off lately.

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    I had wireless CarPlay issues too, got another AutoKit update this morning and it seems fixed.

    FUSC 75% drive 15% FUSC 75% drive 15% etc long distance

    I think this is the P90D? From the rear badging it's a P90DL, if that's relevant. Agree that the range being quoted for it is probably ideal, not rated. My $0.02: figure out what's most important to you. From your original question I infer that range - or, specifically, the ability to...

    FS: 2020 Model S Long Range Plus

    Yep, I'm well aware of that listing. That car doesn't have FSD. Add a few grand for that, compensate for a couple of other flaws, and you're in the ballpark of what I'd accept for this car (but please let's not get into a debate on the value of FSD in the used market in this thread). Since...

    Apologies, it's going to be another few days until I can get the car to somewhere with good light and take a full set of pictures. Here's a few quick ones from this morning.

    I made a couple of desktop shortcuts but as an Android novice I'm not entirely sure how I did it ... :D

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    The Pi-based solution is more robust, more customisable. If you're up for a bit of tinkering you can do much more with it.

    FS: 2020 Model S Long Range Plus

    Thanks - KBB would disagree with you but I agree that my initial price is ambitious in today's market. As above, it's a starting point and open to offers. The car will sell; depending on the arrival of my Lucid I'll likely put it on CarsAndBids in a week or so with no reserve, and let it find...

    FS: 2020 Model S Long Range Plus

    Ahh cr@p, I posted this without reading it through and am no longer able to edit the post. "Death rattle" refers to the noise from the front driveshafts common on certain vintages of Model S. The warranty driveshaft replacement last year was the fix - to confirm, this car does not have the...

    FS: 2020 Model S Long Range Plus

    Hi all Selling my S. No idea where the market's at but $60k seems about right as an asking price; open to offers, of course. The details: - 2020 Model S Long Range Plus - 52,049 miles (and rising slowly) - Deep Blue Metallic exterior - 19" Sonic Carbon Slipstream wheels - All Black Premium...

    Not stupid, and yes it does :) For CarPlay you do need the carlinkit dongle as well as the Raspberry Pi.

    All discussion of Lucid Motors

    I have less than a week to confirm my Lucid order, if I want it, at the old pricing. So I went and test-drove one yesterday. It's an incredible car. Smooth, sure-footed, and the interior is very impressive indeed. There's also currently $7,500 off the Touring and above, so combined with...

    Model Y body repair recommendation

    Safford Collision in Tysons are Tesla certified and do good work. Check with the insurer first though; some insurers won't pay the labor rates at Tesla-certified shops, which could land you with a bill even if the other party is responsible.

    How to make the browser use Wifi when I have Premium Connectivity

    I tried the Road Top adapter but couldn't get it to work - I'm sending it back. Try TeslaAndroid instead, I've been using it a few weeks for CarPlay and the latest version is rock solid.

    My 12 month review of owning my 2022 Model S Long Range

    3 is eminently doable if you don't mind messing around with a Raspberry Pi a little bit ... ... and it looks even better on the landscape screen. See teslaandroid.com for more (no affiliation, just super happy with it)

    OBDII

    I have a Raspberry Pi connected to my OBD II (for CarPlay purposes) and have noticed no ill effects whatsoever :)

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    Excellent - will be interested to hear how it works. I hadn't thought of using bluetooth as the trigger; I tend to reflexively plug my phone in every time I get in the car, so just went with that.

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    Sure thing. I started with two macros: Macro 1 - I named this one "Connected" Trigger: Data Available Action: Enable Hotspot Macro 2 - "Disconnected" Trigger: No Data Connection Action: Disable Hotspot These are all you need to switch the hotspot on and off contingent on the presence of...

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    Not sure I did anything different to previous builds. Fired up the Pi on my desk, plugged in the iPhone, agreed to the 'Trust' popup and the Pi was connected. Ya true :(

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    You can still route CarPlay audio through bluetooth, just change the setting in the AutoKit app (in the advanced settings menu)

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    Yep, works well. I also have it configured so that the Pi hotspot is only active when the Pi is tethered to the iPhone, which is helpful for maintaining connectivity to the car via it's LTE modem when parked. For power supply I'm using an OBD II to USB C thingy from Amazon, which seems to give...

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    Lol yep :D In other news I think I've landed on the right combination of power supply and macrodroid scripts to have the pi behave exactly how I want it to wrt hotspot, tethering etc. Going to play with it a bit more to confirm, and then share.

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    I'm not sure you can, yet, the latest update (2023.6.1) requires a fresh install. I believe OTA updates are coming, at which point you will be able to update and keep your settings. It might be a bit of a PITA initially but I'd recommend the update, it's been very solid for me so far.

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    So I'd posted in the other thread about a similar device being marketed under the "Road Top" brand. TLDR - this thing is terrible. Here it is on Road Top's site; it's a rebranded version of this: Having had good success with a Road Top CarPlay module in an Audi A4, I decided to get one off of...

    Aftermarket Tesla CarPlay and Android Auto Devices

    I tried mine for the first time yesterday. Seemed to have intermittent connectivity issues but that could be user error. I'll play with it some more before I decide whether to keep it or return it.

    Uncork 90 kWh HV Battery ($750) ?

    For $750 I'd probably do it - you'll likely get (most of) it back at resale time, even if you don't use it all that often.

    Looking to buy a 2019 Model S Raven

    Coming late to this thread but congrats! I went from a 2015 85D to 2020 LR+ a year ago and have been super happy with the Raven. It doesn't feel like a "legacy" car to me. One thing to check for: raise the suspension to its highest setting and then floor it. Listen for the "death rattle"...

    CarPlay solution for Tesla by Michal Gapinski using Raspberry Pi with Android

    Just noticed another product on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Road-Top-Wireless-CarPlay-Navigation/dp/B0BRSG4PWQ/ I used a "Road Top" Carplay module last year to put Carplay in a friend's Audi, it was an excellent piece of kit and is still working well. Not sure whether this new Tesla...

    Help me rate my deal 2016 Model S 90D

    Depends when in 2019 - they started removing FUSC from CPO cars in June or August, I think, can't quite remember which but it was well documented at the time. FWIW for $34k I think you got a pretty great deal.
