I would try to make sure all connectors are properly in, I remember one is a little trickier. Do you have the part number of the new/replaced ECU? I understand you’re in Georgia (the country :) ) so I guess you have very very low temperatures at the moment (I also see the blue snowflake on your...

Asking just to clarify the context: did you reinstall the firmware after the retrofit?

I have USS (2018 build) and I have the floating “ring” around the car, not just the arcs ;)

One possible scenario might be when you set the charge limit to 80%, the car reached that limit and stopped charging but then some 1-2% drain or consumption happened while plugged. I'm not sure the “start charging” button is there, I'll try to notice next time :)

lol 😆 Don't tell me I never noticed before!

I noticed since the update that the “proximity bars” are now always displayed, even at high speed and not only when parking/at low speed. I found it kind of useful. Although it’s indeed warning you of the curb on the side of the street, but now showing anything if a vehicle is close and in your...

by the way @wildli, I realize I jumped at commenting the incident and FSD details. By all means, I'm sorry your family had this bad experience and your MIL got hurt.

It's a traffic light, and the car was in the wrong lane for a right turn. That was the right moment to disengage. I'm also interested to understand how you know a neural network is thinking very hard :) As far as I understood, only cameras' feeds are used by FSD. Beyond that, the neural...

My question is: once the driver understood FSD made a wrong decision and/or the probable path of events wasn't going to be successful, why did they decide to leave FSD driving?

No, as far as I know there’s no way to watch the B-pillar cameras feed in “regular” mode

Swipe up the rear view when in Reverse, and the video from the two cameras on the front fenders/blinkers will appear ;)

Piggybacking on this thread: does Toolbox 2.1 work with a 2018 Model 3 or is it only for MS and MX? Thank you!

@swedge, thank you so much! You've been so helpful. I'm on territory X with a 9.7/9.8 daily Kwh allowance. As a rule of thumb, I should aim at staying below 77kwh on a daily basis to not exceed the threshold :)

How did you get the baseline of your area? I'm on EV2-A as well, and I'd like to check how far I am from the 800% since I'm charging exclusively at home (and I don't have solar).

Just got the email from MCE inviting me to enroll to their off-peak charging program/scheduling. Of course it requires you to download their app (MCE Sync) and give them access to your car through Tesla's API to control the charging schedule. Is anyone using it? What's your experience? :) (I...

You don't always need a business model :) Actually, doing research it is almost better if you don't have it (IMHO and looking at the startups’ evolution in the last 20 years).

@ArchHamster when I see Waymo’s I-Paces around SF, self-driving seems so close instead! But sure, totally different technology behind…

@sleepydoc, when are we having another beer with me and @PACEMD ? 🤡

Gotcha! Then I guess that it doesn't matter if the car is from 2018, but rather that I purchased it a few weeks ago, even if it was a private sale, and they know because of the account transfer. Correct?

Weirdly I'm now in 2023.32.7 but still in FSDb 11.4.4 🤷 I guess I'll have to wait a little more…

Indeed! I just did the soft reboot and it worked on the first try :) Thank you @FSDtester#1 for the tip ;) I'll have the joy of trying the new version tomorrow driving to downtown SF 😂

ah! Interesting... and I guess is no coincidence that 9/27 is the same day I retrofitted the CCS1 ability changing the ECU (all DIY)... :rolleyes:

Question from a newbie: Is it normal if the “software” tab is telling me that I'm all up to date but showing the date of September 27? (I guess is the date of the last check?) Any way to force an update check? Thank you!!!

we're two! I'm still in 11.4.4... must be because of my signature 😬😂

Question here from someone new to FSDb: I thought that the problem of the lane change because of an interruption of a left-side barrier was solved. Yesterday I was driving along the CA-37 - a long two-lane road, one in each direction mostly separated by a cement barrier - and at one of the...

Unfortunately I noticed only today, but apparently, from September 15th to October 5th you'll get 10% cashback on EV charging when paying with Apple Card. It doesn't clarify the eligibility of which providers/networks... :rolleyes: In case you didn't know like me... now you do! ;) I'm not...

@zoomer0056 Meta is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp (and other stuff) 😄 I mentioned Meta not trying to be the cool kid but because it's quite clear to me these are directions pushed by Zuckerberg

Which model year is your car? I understood that recent ones equipped with the heat pump are slower to blow cold air than older models. The hot air might just be the cabin air being recirculated :)

@mknewman, is there any way to reach those connectors and the harness to do a check without disassembling the steering box? I'd say it's way too premature to see such corrosion in 51k miles! :(

Look at how Meta is slowly transitioning to a TikTok-like user experience and UI. I can understand why X (under Musk's leadership) would try something similar.

My understanding is that for continuous loads you should not exceed 80% of the nominal capacity of the circuit. I’m also using a 30A plug and to be safe I set the max Ampere drawn by the charger to 24A (roughly 20 miles charged per hour).

I'm in the same situation, and I'd like to check those connections as well (the very poor LTE signal is frustrating me and my wife 😂). Does anyone have pointers about which panels are and how to remove them? Thank you!!! (if this is a FAQ, apologies and links to other threads are welcome!)

you can go on the Vehicle menu > Software tab and read the Connectivity package enabled in your car :)

Thank you for all the great inputs! This morning I got access to service mode and, ta-da! Primary antenna: open 😩 As suggested in another old thread here I tried to do a software reinstall but it didn't solve the problem. I guess the next step is to open up the driver-side mirror casing?

Always. But it’s also true that is always on 5G network and not LTE… and I have T-Mobile. So maybe not a true like-for-like…

During this first week of experience with the Model 3 this is the most frustrating issue: half of the driving time the car is totally disconnected or showing maybe a bar but unable to connect to any service (like Spotify) or the satnav to make a route. Is it that poor the AT&T coverage in the...

It could well be!

From the app, enabling Sentry Mode and watching the live cameras: tap the gray dot inside the car :)

2018 Model 3, as far as I know the camera hasn't ever been touched :)

I’m no expert, but the fact that AB didn’t show up in the software tab would make me suspicious.

My bad! Now I see what you mean :)

Switching from Chill to Sport is like night and day, so I'm quite confident something went wrong. Did the car have the chance to go into deep sleep? I don't know if it could make a difference.

Nice one! Out of curiosity: how long did it take each trip, charges included? :)

@AK_Potatoes , did you get the retrofit working? :) Would you share (even in private) the names of those reliable sellers? Thank you so much!

Hello everyone! Just starting my experience with my first Tesla, a blue 2018 Model 3 LR AWD with FSD and Acceleration Boost (hence aptly already called "Sonic" at home :D ), bought a couple of days ago. I look forward to learning from the wealth of experiences in this forum (I read so much...
