    Front Camera - Dashcam Mode Blurred/Pixelated

    It turns out the problem I had was due to viewing the video file on a Mac. There is some type of compatibility issue and the image was pixelated in the preview app. works better in IOS or on a full video editing app.

    Auto Wipers

    I too give credit where credit is due however if a product is tested before release, any manufacturer knows if the problem has been fixed or not. There is no need to release something to the public and see what happens. Fix it, test and then know the outcome. Based on my experience with...

    Precondition battery for supercharging before leaving hotel

    How long did you precondition for and what was the temperature. I am not aware that Tesla provides advice, but the battery needs to be quite warm to supercharge at speed and I don’t think preconditioning does that. I would have thought 30 minutes would be the minimum but temperature is a big...

    Will these Teslas be replaced for free?

    I do think there is good reason to balance small problems with the risks of fixing them. If you can’t live with it, then by all means try to get it fixed, but sometime the outcome is worse than the original problem.

    Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) won't be available on FSD v12?

    When i purchased my MY LR 2 months ago it came with Traffic Aware Cruise Control & Lane Centering. As far as I can tell Lane Centering is no longer available - or is it just hidden somewhere? I really would like to turn that back on as I do not consider using FSD safe on my local roads (it...

    Hub Cap 19" recommendation

    I bought the Yeslak wheel covers for Model y Gemini wheels. The covers are almost impossible to take off as the clips are made of plastic that seem inflexible and won’t give enough to pull the covers off. After struggling with various techniques, I got some help but one of the clips at the...

    MY Uberturbine wheel cover (Yeslak) stuck on wheel, broke coming off

    I have the exact same experience with Yeslak - the tabs that hold the wheel cover are not properly designed IMHO as they don’t flex and so they make it almost impossible to pull the wheel cover off. Makes the chore of changing the seasonal tires almost impossible. I ended up getting help...

    Phone left in car chime

    There are a number of problems with the door locks, you point out one in that the car will not lock if you walk away with the phone left in the car. You should not hear the chime, therefore you have a clue to a problem if you notice the absence of a positive indication (doors locked with...

    Custom Lock Chimes

    The setting seems to be in two places, one of them is in one of the apps, I forget the name, perhaps jut box or something like that. I was able to change it there.

    USB Music Playback

    Which vehicle are you trying to get working. The MY which I own does not support any data transfer from the centre console so I would think thats the same as the M3. Dont know about Cybertruck. Use the USBC in the glovebox and it should work - mine does including replacement horn sound and...

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    You provided no information to support your argument - I am not going to take such an expensive purchase and risk is longevity based on nothing more than an opinion, where is the science to support your argument.

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    I read on this forum many times that cycling the battery to less than 20% does no harm to it, yet never have I seen any scientific evidence to support that. I then see graphs - but to date they they really don’t mention anything specifically about drawing down low. I do see graphs about...

    2023 MY AWD Battery Capacity?

    This comes from monro live Assuming you have 2170 cells then you have an 80 kWh battery. Col E row 47. That is the usable capacity if you went from 100-0. The car actually has 2kwh beyond that that it does not report. I don’t know where you got the lower numbers from.

    connecting the tesla app to the car - first time - issues

    I am surprised Tesla didn’t connect the car to your phone when you picked it up. Have you connected the Key Card to your phone. I would attempt that but first make sure the Tesla App is 100% current. I have noticed that for IOS, the Tesla App has not been updating, even though I have auto...

    Basic cruise cobtrol

    Perhaps this is too simplistic, but is it possible your window was dirty or the camera not right. I know the car cleans my window when I use Autopiliot. I don’t think you can go back to the good old days as far as cruise - the hardware simply is not there. In some ways it’s frustrating, stuff...

    Is it better for my car to spend more time at 50% or have shallower discharge cycles but spend more time at a higher state of charge.

    Is it better for my car to spend more time at 50% or have shallower discharge cycles but spend more time at a higher state of charge.

    The sweat spot for an NCA battery is 57%. If you are not using the car you should leave it close to that. If you plan a long trip and need the power charge it to your needs and drive off as soon as possible. Ideally you would not charge beyond 90% unless you require it. If possible don’t...

    Mobile charger issue?

    The maximum the mobile charger can input is about 7kW - you voltage seems a bit low, it should be closer to 240v or at least 220v. That however would not account for an unusually long charge as you are putting in 6kW. I would look at the stats app in the car or on your phone to see if there...

    Dashcam Image Motion Distorted - Tesla says normal - look normal to you?

    Yes, I think you’re right. I have 3 Macs and one of them is able to view this without a problem, but not the other two. Seems to be an incompatibility with the frame rate, Tesla uses 36 frames per second while 30 or 60 is common. Thanks for mentioning.

    Dashcam Image Motion Distorted - Tesla says normal - look normal to you?

    I have been trying to get Tesla to admit there is a problem with the Dashcam Video. They say this is normal - look normal to you? As I could not load a video to this site, I downloaded it to my personal blog. Interestingly enough if I loaded the video to Facebook it played fine so I think...

    Anyone with success getting Tesla to undo their unjust SC01 -> SC04 that happened after buying second-hand?

    I would have thought the sales agreement between the original purchaser of the car and Tesla would state whether the service (supercharging) is transferable or not. I am no lawyer but the service Tesla provides is between them and the purchaser not Tesla and a second purchaser unless the terms...

    Help with purchasing decision - what's in the latest MY?

    I picked up MY LR in Toronto last week. It was made in Fremont. I don’t think it has gigacasting front end but I don’t know how to confirm that. Also the glass at the back is not two layer. Stereo has all the speakers. Mine has 497km range. Fit and finish is good, no complaints. The USB...

    Where and where not to apply wax

    There is another post that notes problems with the front window and coatings. The manual states: To add a hydrophobic coating to your vehicle's windows, apply the coating only to the side and rear windows, not the front windshield—doing so may affect the visibility of the autopilot cameras...

    Looking into Gyeon Products for Washing and Coating

    Thanks so much for the heads up, I was wondering the exact same thing. I will stay away from the front outside window entirely - may do the roof and other windows as its then easier to clean thereafter. The other thing to note is don’t use window cleaners containing ammonia and they can...

    Where and where not to apply wax

    I have been advised to tape off the black trim as it’s not very shiny and the wax will give it too much of a gloss. I would be very cautious of putting any product over the glass where there is a camera. Tesla has a bad reputation of finding reasons to deny warranty claims - don’t give them an...

    How Does Tesla Operate?

    Yes, this is the level of service that Tesla will provide you during the sales process. You should also be aware that there is no real 2024 model, it will morf over time, in my case a key feature was removed (upgraded audio system on SR) and my car did not show up on the arranged date, not a...

    Tesla shipping U.S. built cars to Canada again.

    The US has a slowdown in sales while China is buying every Tesla they can make. Sending the US surplus to Canada makes some sense. There are pros and cons to each, China seems to have better quality and some advanced interior while US has HW 4. The MY Std range has less of a stereo system...

    Strange charge level percentage after charging

    The power provider will display the amount of AC they provide, while the cars inverter could loose about 10% converting the AC to DC. So you put in a lot less into the battery than you are delivered by the power provider.

    MY RWD Sound System

    I would check very carefully - I took a test drive in a MY only to find out that it had a premium sound system but the car I would be getting may not. I live in Canada so we get both the Freemont and China MY. In the end I switched to a MY LR which for me avoided several issues. Ask before...

    Small scratch

    Get a quote from a body shop, send it to the other driver and get payment from him directly, then have it fixed. You don’t want to report the car as being in an accident if you don’t have to. Can’t see any sensors but the shop should check.

    Canadian winter - best practices for preconditioning battery for best efficiency?

    As a new owner MY LR (as of Sat) I am actually in the process of reading the manual. I was surprised to find that in Chill mode, the car moves heat from the battery to the cabin if required (which I new) but that in Standard mode it does not - instead it heats the battery to a higher level so...

    Canadian winter - best practices for preconditioning battery for best efficiency?

    My sense is that the manufacturer has tested the Battery Management System, developed an approach that works well for most situations, therefore it may be risky to force the car to function outside of its pre-programmed BMS. You might be doing some expensive damage over the long term. I do...

    Probably the best deal was back in Dec 2023 for a RWD Y from Shangi but for a verity of reasons I made an order Jan 5. I was told they could be shipped from China or Fremont. Then I discovered the 2024 STD had a reduced audio system, and eventually the inventory started to show Y LR with a...
