    Cybertruck seen in Metro Detroit

    I can't help imagining that enormous windscreen wiper dragging across the dry glass every time you engage autopilot...

    Wipers

    At the risk of replying to myself, I thought I should update to say that I cleaned the area in front of the cameras before setting off on my last journey and, in fairness, autopilot worked well on the same stretch of freeway in sunshine, as well as on a few other stretches of road over the...

    Wipers

    Also on 32.6. I almost never drive on the freeway so I rarely use AP. Had occasion to do some freeway driving today in bright sunshine and was looking forward to trying out AP for a bit. Repeated dry wiping both on the way there (noon, sun overhead) and on the way back (evening, sun lower down)...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Hehe... I'm quite new here but I'm enjoying the forum. I find it a bit like the Fiat X1/9 club of old - not so much an owners' club as a support group :)

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Yes, but that's no better than the standard method of pressing the stalk button to bring up the menu and then using the left and right - it still requires a sequence of two actions and overloads the volume control. I'd rather just have left and right on the other scroll wheel permanently...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Oh, sorry to reply to my own post but I've now found this on my phone and I realise that preconditioning in this context just means turning on the climate while parked (which I understand also warms the battery to an extent, but isn't what I was hoping for.)

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    As a slight aside, is there a formal way to submit software feature requests? The auto-wipers were annoying me again today in light rain and I'd love to be able to reassign left and right on the right hand steering wheel control to directly control wiper speed. In my view having this rare...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    hmmm, I'm not seeing that. Maybe I need to update my IOS as well. And wait, do the shortcuts on your screenshot suggest that we can manually pre-condition the battery for charging? I didn't know that was possible, I thought you still had to do the trick of navigating towards a supercharger if...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Hmmm, maybe I should. My experience has been that it behaves well in terms of dipping for oncoming traffic, or when coming up behind or following another car - this works every time. But on a windy unlit road in the dark with no other traffic (e.g. Greenhill Rd, noting you're in Adelaide), for...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Installed 2023.26.7 today and was pleased to find a couple of fixes: - The UMC firmware update now works, so I was able to update my Australian UMC from 8A/12A to 10A/15A - The bug where the navigation directions didn't show at the top of the driver's side panel if the map panel was obscured...

    Auto high beams still comically bad

    Just to follow up yet again, I adjusted my headlights using the procedure in the service manual (the driver's side one was a bit high and to the right) but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have made any difference to the auto high beams. On the country road I regularly drive down in the dark...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Happened to me too - car is only a couple of weeks old, applied 2023.20.4.1 in the evening, got in the car the next morning to drive and the screen was black. Reset fixed it, but it's happened once again since. Hopefully a fix is forthcoming soon...

    Bluetooth disconnection

    I got mine a couple of weeks ago and the first thing I found was that bluetooth was totally flaky when I tried to set up my phone for audio - took multiple attempts just to get the phone paired as the car bluetooth was resetting itself constantly during the process. When I finally did get it...

    Auto high beams still comically bad

    Just to add to this I saw in another thread someone felt their auto high beams improved after having their headlights adjusted to lower them because their low beams were too high. So I might check the height of mine at some point - they do feel a little high at the moment

    Side Repeater Camera Angles

    Thanks. I might look into that, but I think I'll just live with it for now - I'm gradually getting over it :)

    Auto high beams still comically bad

    Thanks for the reply. I definitely get the sense it was reflections from signs and chevrons for sharp bends, etc, that were triggering it to dip a lot of the time. I guess it's possible they can self-calibrate in some way, but I'm not sure how since there's no feedback to the car to know whether...

    Side Repeater Camera Angles

    I realise this is an old thread, but I've just bought a Model 3 and mine are similar. I raised a service request but they've responded to say that this is 'considered normal' and that even if the camera were replaced there was no guarantee it wouldn't end up the same. Interested to know if...

    Auto high beams still comically bad

    Hi all, New to the forum and new to Tesla - picked up my Model 3 last week after owing a Hyundai Ioniq Electric and before that a Volt. Loving the car, and still lots to learn, but one thing I'm starting to understand - partly from reading this forum - is that for all the bells and whistles...
