It may have fixed the disappearing Climate controls, but the Charge Stats still show empty boxes for me (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't)

It's been going on since App version 4.31.5. I also noticed the Charge Stats show blank boxes with no data. This happens on two different iPhones

When I open "Climate" on the App, the bottom half is blank. (The bottom is where you set the cabin temperature, vent the windows, etc). I'm using iOS. This problem is intermittent; sometimes the bottom is blank, sometimes it displays normally. I haven't figured out the steps to reliably...

If it's not very deep, you can use tire vulcanizing compound like "Xtra Seal" to re-seal it. Don't use regular rubber cement because they're not the same. Vulcanizing compound will weld the rubber together as if it's one piece. If it's a deep cut, then you should replace the tire

I don't have FSD but I was using autosteer the other day and the car did something terrifying. I was in the #1 lane (leftmost), and after crossing an intersection, the car attempted to move to the #2 lane. It did not understand the lane markers and didn't understand which lane was which...

Looks like they're testing a major firmware change and need lots of free beta testing:cool: I'm anticipating a lot of accidents on the road next month. (I kid, I kid) :p

So it's working for everyone here but not for me :( I rebooted the car by holding the brake pedal + scroll wheels, and reinstalled the App. But the problem remains. Maybe there's a setting in the car that's responsible for this? It's a bizarre problem because no settings have been changed in...

Mine used to behave like that too. I'm using App version 4.31.0 build 2552. It looks like the latest build changed that functionality(?) I want to go back to the old version :(

It used to be that when you opened the app, the car's general location would be displayed under "Location" without having to click on "Location". This worked even with the phone's GPS off. Now, if you want to see the car's location, you must have the phone's GPS on and press "Location" to open...

Once the tax credit becomes a PoS discount, it will have a full $7500 cash value for all buyers who qualify, which means Telsa will likely raise prices. That's how these subsidies end up -- they're just zero sum for consumers. Remember several years back when Tesla lost the $7500 credit...

At least you got a discount for the cosmetic blemishes. A lot of people ordered a brand new car that came blemishes, paint chips and misaligned panels, AND they got no discount. And if your car were perfect with no blemishes, you never would have been able to get it for $2500 off. If that...

I wonder what will happen when that car is jacked up with a floor jack instead of a lift.

If you've felt real PPF, you'll know it. Gently press your fingernail into it and tap it, then compare it to paint -- it feels different. PPF is soft and it feels and sounds like plastic; painted metal feels and sounds like metal.

I did some testing and found the following: While the car is charging, if I press the button on the WC handle, the CCL count increases by one. But if I use the touchscreen to stop the charging, the CCL count doesn't increase. The lesson is: if you want to abort charging, use the touchscreen...

It's pointless to have million-mile batteries except for commercial vehicles like semis. For consumer cars, the rest of the car will only last 250k to 350k miles. I've seen some cars with 250k miles (not Teslas). The dashboard plastic is decomposing, the paint is peeling, the seats are torn...

On the Wall Monitor App, there is "Contactor Cycles Loaded". What causes this to increase and what can the user do to minimize it? Is it bad for the WC, the car's onboard charger, or both?

How many people do you know now with a 2013 model year car would be willing to put $10,000 to $15,000 in it to extend its life? Basically no one. They'd put that money into a new car. I know people with 10-15 year old cars, and some of them are hesitant to spend even $500 for repairs...

I wouldn't run that fan setup. It will accumulate a lot of dust inside the WC, which can make it run hotter ironically. Have you ever looked inside the case of a 4-year old computer? It's filthy. And that's while it was operating inside your house. Imagine operating in the garage... it'd be...

It's also possible that years of expansion/contracting caused the circuit breaker to loosen from the bus bar, which would make the breaker run hot. I limit my charging to 24A to minimize the expansion/contracting cycle, and never charge while using any large appliance. I considered limiting to...

If EPA tests are unrealistic, then all manufacturers range estimates should be equally off, but that's not the case. German car estimates are accurate. So, why are Tesla's range estimates so bad compared to other makes?

This got me thinking, if EVs really do replace gas cars in the future, parking lots should become less contaminated. The typical Walmart parking lot is a giant oil slick.

Heating by X degrees uses more energy than cooling by X degrees? If that's true then people in mild climates shouldn't tint their windows because it'd make the cabin colder in winter which would more than offset the energy savings in summer

I had this problem a couple of days ago, too. Until that night, the MY would always stay unlocked at home (as intended). Then that night, it would lock itself even though "Exclude home" was still checked. Thereafter, the problem went away. I chalked it up to the navigation being off by a few...

It has nothing to do with tint. I don't have windshield tint on one of my cars, and it has a 15-inch crack from being parked outside in hot weather. And that's despite having the original chip repaired by a mobile glass repairer. I was able to stop the crack from expanding further by drilling...

Another thing I've been looking into is exterior-side tint. Unfortunately, all the DIY exterior tints I've found are reflective which might be annoying or dangerous for semi-truck drivers. The non-reflective ones are only sold bulk to professionals. Anyone know of non-reflective exterior tint...

I'm following this thread. I was interested in doing this with smoke tint wrap, similar to what's placed over tail lights. The goal is to reduce cabin temps but be more budget-friendly and DIY-able than ceramic tint. A roll of tint wrap is cheap. There's also photochromatic wrap that darkens...

DIY bottle of touch-up paint for $10, which will protect against rust. But the repair will look bad unless you know how to do it correctly. Which means taping, priming, painting, sanding, clear coating, sanding. Or hire a mobile paint-chip repair person

When we picked up our new 2023 Austin-made Y, we noticed some small paint defects around it. One of them was fixed with a bottle of touch-up paint, the kind you buy at O'reilly's. It was an unprofessional paint-blob repair. We accepted delivery and had the SC fix them (took them 9 days). The...

How many of those 8 vehicles were operated in a similar climate to yours? It could be that the other 8 were in hotter climates which degrades the battery more. The comparison tool needs to hold both mileage & temperature constant, not just mileage.
