    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    This "moving over" behavior reminds me of a question for y'all. Now that the car isn't driving down the middle of the road, on unmarked residential streets, it feels too close to cars parallel parked along the curb. Much closer than I would drive. I think if one of those cars opened a driver's...

    I ran your test - yep, buzz just as you describe. No buzz from the 17" screen, though. I'm on 2021.44.30.10.

    How about: the SC (or maybe the factory) broke your microphone a while ago, and you only could tell after you got the software load that used it? It still sounds like a broken mic, or mic amp circuit, somewhere. They ought to be able to diagnose that!

    No change to the worm - which in my case is pretty minor, luckily. It looks like they put the same cover back on (although I can't prove it, but the worm looks identical to me). But, that would imply the worm is actually in the cover, and not something underneath, pushing through. Or, an...

    Got my car back from service... as promised, an update: 1) they replaced the driver air bag, per the recall, so (for those others who got the recall) the parts are available. 2) they "fixed" the safety restraint system error, again, by doing the same fix as 2 months ago (reseating a connector...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    It'll be interesting to see what the rules are, when we have single stack FSD "maybe next month"...! With 75 mph speed limits on highways, it's pretty easy (even necessary/safer sometimes) to push it over 80 on occasion. If that starts to be a 'ding', I'll have to stop using it on the highway. 😞

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I've had very good experiences, so far, on 10.8. About 40 miles on a combination of residential neighborhoods, rural roads, and city streets (so, no highway/AP), and only 2 required disengagements. But, yesterday, at night, had it not understand a right only turn lane, that it confronted...

    Sorry for any confusion. It's my Plaid that gets FSD. My 2016 is still on HW 1.

    Same here! After many weeks waiting for any updates (nothing since 36.5.1), jumped to 44.25.6, just now. I guess the monkey is granting Xmas gifts.

    The unofficial "when do I get my FSD beta update" FAQ

    Hmm. I opted in as soon as the button was released (early Sept?). I had a 98 score for a while, so no FSD. But, I still got non-FSD updates for the next ~ 6 weeks, until 36.5.1. I've been working to keep a 99 score since October, but no updates of either type, now, or for the last several...

    The unofficial "when do I get my FSD beta update" FAQ

    I have a 99 score, but not only am I not getting the FSD beta, I haven't gotten any updates at all, since 36.5.1. I used to get them regularly every couple of weeks. I have a new theory: I also have an active safety alert for a passenger side restraint system fault. My SC doesn't have the...

    Well, depending on what you mean by "left to the owners", but I might be one success story. My car did have a couple very minor issues at delivery (some missing clips in the front wheel wells, and two very small paint chips inside the driver door frame), all fixed on the spot before I took...

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    I have noticed a clear difference from 19" PS4S to 19" PSAS4. However, it is highly dependent on road surface. Smooth/new asphalt is quiet on both, but a surface that been roughed up by studded tires is distinctly loader on the ASs. I don't know if it the lack of foam inserts or something...

    Can foam be purchased separately and installed/added on tires that didn't come with it?

    The toggle is enabled. And, the auto-present works if the car is fully awake already. Just not if I've been away from it for like an hour, or more. Plus the dome lights matching the door handles seems like another hint about what's wrong.

    Yep. (See previous post. ) I'm using android phone, by the way. Key fobs seem to work fairly reliably, but not the phone, and regardless of whether I've woken up the phone. The car does unlock, so it must be seeing the phone. Just doesn't auto-present and doesn't turn on the dome lights...

    Same problem. It's like the car is "too asleep". If I approach when it has been active very recently (like minutes ago), they present. Otherwise, I have to poke them to get them to come out. By the way, interior "dome" lights don't come on when opening the door, either, if the door handles...

    So, all the jokes aside :), I am also a woodworker, and I find the wood trim in my Plaid to be quite acceptable. Is not a smooth, high gloss finish, but still has open grain. It is otherwise smooth and even across the surface.

    Same here. That is, on the "it figured itself out" part. How about a "front passenger seat restraint system malfunction detected" warning? Is that the same sort of thing, that goes away on its own (isn't a real fault)? It happened to me, but was gone the next day.

    That happens. Give it a day (maybe two) and see if your dates jump to something new.

    Has anyone else noticed that the app used to have tick marks on the charging limit slider, to show each 10%? It was a little tricky to set it right at 80% (or whatever), but at least you could see where that is. Wonder why they removed those?

    I had only two very minor issues, which were fixed in 5 minutes, during my delivery inspection. I discovered a third issue 2 days later, stopped by the SC with no appointment and they fixed it, again in less than 5 minutes. Since then, no issues at all. Never had an issue with my 2016 S, either...

    I'm guessing that the car is somewhere with bad/no cell coverage. The shop is in a "hole", or the car is inside a metal building that's blocking, or both?

    I had the similar piece, except further forward which means it has an actual snap-in fastener, drop down. To it to the SC. The first answer was that I needed to schedule a mobile service to get it fixed. But, the service was VERY friendly, and happy to talk, and walk outside to look at it...

    An honest review of the yoke

    The only thing I don't like about the turn signals is that it is hard to get the "temporarily on" (stop when I let go) mode to work reliably. Way too subtle a difference between a light touch and a 'real' push/touch. So, half the time I end up fully turning them on (without knowing it), they...

    I'm also torn, tbh. If the lobster forks were just a half shade darker, I'd be all in for leaving the covers off. Not sure it's worth getting them painted/powder coated, though - but just my opinion. I'll probably just go with the covers on.

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    Just a heads up to those who haven't taken delivery yet. My SA said the 100 miles thing is region/SC specific. In my case, the SC can afford the time at delivery, so they want issues reported before accepting the car. Just one SA at one SC - YMMV.

    I don't know who you mean by "told by Tesla", but my Plaid came with summer tires for the 19s, and so has every delivery I've heard/seen here. By the way, did you mean LR, or any MS? I think it is still *possible* that some LRs, by region/ time of year, might get AS. But, looks very unlikely.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    At least here in CO the 19s are summers on my Plaid. Don't know if it's regional, but we certainly get snow (not as harsh as Northern plains, but if they're doing any AS, you'd think we'd get them here).

    I had one of those on my floor, too (before delivery prep). I have one of (maybe _the_?) first 19s delivered at my SC. Production date is first week of Aug. I got the VIN just a couple days later. Could they really have had a sale fall through and get the car to me that quickly? I should ask...

    I have to pile on, that the experience _can_ be really good. I had excellent communication from my SA (once I had a VIN), my delivery times did slip, a little (but per @jebinc predictions), but my SA was on top of it, set a delivery date that stuck, and the delivery experience was great. So...

    I picked up on Friday, and brought a cashier's check to the delivery. Didn't "pay" (sign docs or turn over the check) until I was satisfied that all issues were corrected. (Teaxs is probably different due to the "delivery" in CA scenario. )

    3 Plaids with 19s are at my SC, near Denver. (One of them is mine! :) ) The tires are P Zeros, with small PZ4 stamped near the rims, and also stamped Select. I've heard PZ4 means summer tire, and Select means AS. So, what does it mean when they say both?
