    Model Y Brake Controller

    @velocty: Do you know, does the Model Y activate the "brake light input signal" to the braking controller any time the brake lights are on, or only when the brake pedal is used? The difference being that regen can turn on the brake lights even when the brake pedal is not used. I'd like to not...

    Model Y Brake Controller

    I think the actual part number is 1072586-00-A. The number you posted (1027584-00-A) seems to be the Model X hitch, which will cost you more and won't work on your Model Y.

    Model Y Brake Controller

    In the same boat looking for a connector, thanks for the part number, I'll give our service center a call. BTW, these braking controllers that use your smartphone just for the accelerometer seem silly. Those are cheap parts nowdays, maybe cheaper than the bluetooth chip to connect to the phone...

    ev-fw.com down

    I'm also getting the ev-fw.com Host Error timeout. How could it be related to Tesla blocking non-Tesla access to their API, since I'm trying to access ev-fw.com directly (to add a firmware update)? Unless it is because ev-fw also uses Tesla's API but is now likely also blocked so somehow their...

    Trailer Brake Controller - factory installed?

    Tesla should build in the braking controller for the simple reason that it can maximize regen braking for most braking events and only kick in the trailer friction brakes when really needed. Furthermore, using the sensors on the vehicle it can "learn" what voltage (on the braking pin) equates to...

    How to avoid random/phantom braking!

    Since it seems to be theme here, and maybe Tesla is counting... My spouse also is less comfortable as a passenger when I'm using Autopilot than when I'm driving myself. This is for many reasons - the big one is phantom braking, but also the not-smooth starts and stop, the darting towards the...

    Does the 2020 Model S Performance do one pedal driving?

    All current models, yes. But older Model S/X do not come to full stop; regen stops below about 4 mph and then you coast.
  15. Dithermaster

    Does the 2020 Model S Performance do one pedal driving?

    Indeed, it's quite sublime! Better than I can do myself sometimes. Too bad TACC/AP won't do same. It's still like a teenager on RedBull.

    Anyone want to help modify a Radio Flyer Model S?

    Perfect, that is helpful. I'm planning to do the same. As you can tell from my avatar, I have one too, and I wanted to make it R/C for car shows. I plan to remove the seat and steering wheel and make a faux-glass roof panel (vacu-formed or otherwise bent acrylic I think, with black paint under).

    Turn Signal Fault

    I didn't have a fault but sometimes my right turn signal would not indicate on the dash, but would blink 2x faster on the outside. June 2019 car. All lamps worked. Mobile service disconnected each connection, checked the "pin drag" and re-assembled them. After that, they worked perfectly. He did...

    P100D ludicrous+ loses to Model 3?? What the??

    At our local dragstrip last summer a stealth Model 3 Performance raced my Model S Performance Ludicrous Mode (that's what OP has even though they are calling it a P100D) and while I beat him each time, it was darn close. 325 foot track, they were maybe one car length behind (if that). Reaction...

    Trailer Brake Controller - factory installed?

    It would be nice if the braking controller used pure regen up until a certain amount of brake pedal is pushed. It would be ideal for recapturing all the kinetic energy instead of using the trailer's friction brakes. Of course for deeper pedal movements you'd want the trailer to do braking too.

    Love Tesla. Love my car. Wish Tesla would please fix the USB Audio Player.

    One tiny thing got better in my USB playback. Now when the display is blank and I re-select USB playback, it remembers Shuffle mode most all of the time. It used to forget and I'd have to re-enable it.

    What's Tesla Cooking?

    I tried "Launch Mode" for the first time today.

    I wish you didn't need to do the whole pedal dance when using Launch Mode. I wasn't able to use it at the drag strip because it takes too long to do. Look, you've already gone out of your way to enable it (it turns off when you turn off the car) so just let me mash the brake all the way, then...

    Right side electronics malfunctioning

    I agree it sounds like a single point of failure, like a connector. CAN bus is bidirectional so you'd think it would throw an error if it hasn't heard from so many devices. But maybe they don't implement that. Some of the Tesla hackers would know since they run the MCU on a bench with none of...

    Do all older S models not have chill mode?

    Funny, I always thought it was tied to dual motor, but today I learned it was tied to AP.

    For a P100DL is it worth paying for Pilot Sport A/S 3+ or Michaelin Primacy MXM4 at no extra cost?

    Glad to hear they are working out. I also swapped the summer-only 19" Pilot Sport 4 tires that came with my car for all-season performance Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires. No regrets. In warm weather they seem to stick as well as the 4s did, and of course I can use them here in the snow (not as sticky...

    Love Tesla. Love my car. Wish Tesla would please fix the USB Audio Player.

    Yes, album art is hit or miss. Mine regularly forgets it was playing from USB the last time I was in the car and I sit down to an empty music player or streaming music. Somehow there is an icon in the Recent box that starts it up again, and now it even remembers that it should use shuffle mode...

    Tesla SC parking lots snow covered

    In addition to snow, one should also be cautious of Supercharging locations that have an incline that you have to back down. There's one in Wisconsin (I forget which one) that is like this and it can get icy. Getting out with my RWD P85+ was interesting! Now I have AWD so it should be better if...

    Tesla SC parking lots snow covered

    Yes, if they or their lawyer had spent any time in the midwest where that is probably standard practice. Being a California company I could see them forgetting that part for the first few until the phone calls started coming in.

    voice command problems? try this...

    You're right! I didn't realize they changed this. So far, click, wait for beep, talk, wait for action (no second press) has worked pretty well for me.
  31. Dithermaster

    voice command problems? try this...

    It does seem to work better for me if I wait until the text appears in the display before I press it again at the end. Or maybe that second press is not even needed. But if I press as soon as I'm done speaking, usually nothing happens.

    "Fleet Speed" (mis-)feature in 2019.8.6+

    I wish Fleet Speed was only based on cars that were not stuck behind other cars (which bring down the average). My Navigate on Autopilot takes off ramps nicely but then starts slowing down way too much; I have to use the accelerator to keep from becoming annoying or dangerous.

    It uses Hall Effect sensors instead of microswitches, so no more bending wires. Should be much more reliable.

    A/C Went Out, how to diagnose?

    DC-DC converter seems to be one of the most common reasons for A/C to fail. It would be nice if it popped a diagnostic message.

    Is scheduled departure working consistently for you?

    Mine seems to work fine, except it over-charges the battery if I don't drive on the pre-heat days. That's annoying, and bad for the car (I charge to 90%, and I've come out to the car at 98% after not driving it during a short vacation).

    Considering test driving one of these....any suggestions / advice welcome!

    Car insists to navigate to a supercharger

    I have my suspicions why Automatic Navigation was turned on by default rather than make it a feature one has to enable. I bet it adds value to shadow-mode Autopilot FSD. Just a theory, but if the car knows where you are going, it has more data than when it doesn't.

    Does new software voice commands include suspension height changes?

    I wonder if Tesla tracks unsuccessful commands, bins them, counts them, and then prioritizes implementation based on that? I would. But probably we'll get some more games.

    Car insists to navigate to a supercharger

    My theory: You have a "work" address that is significantly far away. If you have no calendar entries and you leave home in the morning, the car automatically loads in the "work" destination (it's a feature). But yours is far away, so it tells you to Supercharge so you can make it. To fix this...

    Raven Model S - Front Motor Whine

    My recent mobile service tech had exceedingly good vision; he was able to work on my car in an underground parking garage and when it seemed too dark to me and I offered to hold a flashlight he said he could see just fine, and was used to working in dark areas. So my theory is that in order to...

    Am I getting the High-efficiency Drive unit?

    No, because the high-efficiency drive unit is the front one (using the PMSR motor from Model 3). Your '13 85 only has a rear drive unit, and that isn't what is being talked about in the article you referenced. That said, the rear drive unit has had small changes made to it over the years, so you...

    Entitled at the supercharger

    Here in Wisconsin we have days where you can't see the lines when you park (like morning at work) and then when you come out later you can see them and it looks like nobody knows how park. Sometimes as the snow melts during the day you get a combination of "I could nhot see lines so parked next...

    How many of you Smart Summon the car?

    I've used it successfully a couple times, but the last time I tried it, instead of turning towards me, the car headed towards the exit, like it was going to head home without me!

    Raptor U-Pol

    Raptor U-Pol and Line-X seem to be non-metallic, so you should be OK. You could test it by taping a test panel ahead of the radar location and driving around a bit. I doubt your ultrasonic sensors will still work with it on, so you should tape those off first. I was happy that mine still worked...

    Navigate On Autopilot: automatic lane change results

    Agreed! I waits too long, and then guns it. I'm a fast driver and like acceleration, but Autopilot accelerates too quickly for my "daily driving" taste. I'd prefer riding with a chauffeur rather than a teenager on Redbull. I have a technique to make it better: when the car ahead starts moving...

    2020 Performance - SWFL

    Ha ha, I thought it was a dating thing, like SWF = Single White Female and L = I don't know, maybe Ludicrous? Like this was one of those "missed connection" things but instead of on the train, at the PPF place.

    Parked Car and came back to find it 15 meters ahead with right wheels on curb!

    There's also some way to activate summon with some tapping on the gear shift before exiting the vehicle, so it could take less pocket-dialing the key fob.
