    Getting emergency help in early MS with MCU2 without cell phone

    Thanks Bruce, I did in fact make it home okay. I definitely went easier on the car than I usually do though!

    Model Y Reverse UFO Sound Change/Disable

    Am I the only one who thinks the sound is kind of cool?

    Windshield Stone Chip

    So what's the deal with glass shops being weird about working on Teslas? I haven't had that experience in California at all, even in 2017 when they weren't every 3rd car.

    I regret my Model Y purchase because of seat comfort and seating position problems

    Interesting. I'm 6'3" and 170lb and I feel like the Y is just as comfortable as my S. I guess my torso and leg proportions are closer to average ?

    Used Model S vs New Model Y

    We have both an S and Y. I have free supercharging on the S but my family always wants to take the Y. I would say the Y is more of a family friendly car but the S is very close in utility. Totally subjective opinion--the S looks better than the Y. Financially, if you're eligible for the tax...

    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    Even if I thought the Mach-E looks better (I don't) I would choose the Tesla simply because we keep our cars for around a decade and Tesla has such a head start in battery and motor tech that I feel confident it will be reliable.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    319 Wh/mi since Tesla did my MCU2 upgrade 33k miles ago and reset it. 2015 85 19" wheels with 156k total miles.

    Just come across the phantom braking issue, considering canceling my order

    Is this without USS? My 22 MY with EAP and USS can do this just fine

    Will pre-cameras Model S be easier to retrofit now with vision only FSD?

    People have added OpenPilot to these cars but I don't have any personal experience with it

    Just come across the phantom braking issue, considering canceling my order

    2015 MS AP1: zero phantom braking incidents, 156k miles, 90% on AP 2022 MYP vision only with EAP: zero phantom braking incidents. 14k miles, 80% on AP. To note, this car will unreasonably slow down for merging cars if you are in the right lane in situations which human drivers would keep their...

    Getting emergency help in early MS with MCU2 without cell phone

    Probably knocking on some random person's door or trying to get someone to pull over, both of which I'd rather not do since I have a device built in to my car with 4G capabilities...

    Getting emergency help in early MS with MCU2 without cell phone

    After the shock wore off that I had left my phone at home this morning I was just pondering what I would do in the statistically unlikely situation of a break down. The car has been extremely reliable with zero stranding issues over 156k miles. But, since the battery and motor warranty are...

    Getting emergency help in early MS with MCU2 without cell phone

    Well thanks for your help lol. If my car fails on my commute home I guess I will go with my original and sole idea to make a new email account and email a text (phone number @vtext.com for Verizon customers) to my wife from the web browser.

    Getting emergency help in early MS with MCU2 without cell phone

    I'm more asking for my commute home today. Of course I will be activating my watch's cell service when I get home. And of course I wouldn't plan on relying on the car's connectivity for help but this situation will happen to someone eventually. I was surprised to find that cursory searching on...

    Getting emergency help in early MS with MCU2 without cell phone

    Thanks for your reply. I was actually kicking myself for not having activated my Apple Watch Ultra's cellular option. But just to clarify, the cell signal is strong throughout my commute. I was referring to attempting to communicate with the outside world through the Tesla's screen, likely via...

    Getting emergency help in early MS with MCU2 without cell phone

    Just curious if anyone else has been in this situation--not having a cell phone and encountering a mechanical failure/flat tire and being stranded. I was once in a non-emergency situation like this (I was waiting in a parking lot for the wife and realized I had no phone to contact her) and...
