    Auto-launching Tesla app on Android

    Just tested mine and it worked fine. Pixel 5 / Android 13. In Settings->Apps->Tesla->Battery Is the Tesla App set to "Unrestricted" Battery usage? And is "Pause app activity if unused" unchecked?

    Auto-launching Tesla app on Android

    Hmm, interesting. My v3.10.9 worked on the first try, but it was installed a year ago on my old phone and still had my login information. Maybe Tesla is now preventing new logins from older releases. In case it helps anyone, my current workaround is to set up Tasker after a phone reboot to...

    Auto-launching Tesla app on Android

    This is almost certainly a change made by Tesla for some reason. I verified with an older phone (Pixel 2) the following: Tesla app v3.10.9 - starts on boot in the background Tesla app v4.10.1 - must be manually launched All I did was update the app, so no changes in Android between my tests...

    [Android app] App (and persistent notification) doesn't start at phone power on

    Same issue. An update in the past few months to the Tesla Android app seems to have stopped it from automatically starting in the background. I tested this with two Tesla app versions and found the following: Tesla app v3.10.9 - starts on boot in the background Tesla app v4.10.1 - must be...

    Any hack to remove the autopilot nag?

    Wow, this thread is frightening. You need to provide torque (turning force). It can be done with two hands, but both hands resting equally are obviously not optimal for that. I usually just make the "OK" symbol with my left index finger and thumb. The left index finger goes over the top...

    Dashcam not working - Some advice please

    That Sandisk is the one that failed for me after removing and reinserting in the car. No idea why. I ended up replacing it with this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MBD66GZ/

    Dashcam not working - Some advice please

    Same. Sounds like three of us. I removed a 256GB Micro SD card from the car to delete some files, when I plugged it back in it didn't work. The first thing to try is to reformat it. That didn't work for me, and it turned out that the Sandisk Micro SD-USB adapter would suddenly work in my PC...

    Does sentry and dashcam record on AP2 and MCU1?

    Too late to edit my earlier post, but I had my friend confirm his build date and it was Sept. 2017. So he has HW 2.5, which explains why it's working for him.. Sorry for the confusion.

    On 2019.28.2.5 since Aug 8; update overdue?

    Yes, when you go to that page the text should temporarily change to "Checking for software updates". It does it automatically. If you did this, then that's the extent of the help I can offer. Sorry.

    On 2019.28.2.5 since Aug 8; update overdue?

    Do a hard reset -- foot on brake, press both scroll wheels. Then go to Software on the UI and let it re-check for the update. My 3 was stuck and found the update immediately after I did that.

    Workplace 110V Charging Issue 9/12A

    OP, you need to understand how long the wire is and how it's run. I would recommend calling the electrician and telling him that you're getting an 11V drop when pulling only 9A and asking him to come back and look at it. Note that you won't see the drop if you just use a voltmeter at the...

    Workplace 110V Charging Issue 9/12A

    A wall outlet doesn't provide 110V, as people still say for some reason ... it provides ~120V. So, 109V is the problem. The voltage dropping to 109V while only pulling 9A means the Model 3 recognized a problem and dropped its current draw. This implies the resistance is too large in the...

    Tesla M3 Cabin Noise

    I measured a 1dB difference before/after using one of the door gasket sets on Amazon. This was measured on the same three sections of highway at roughly 70MPH. Not all that impressive. I didn't capture the waveforms, but I agree with @postersw that the majority of road noise seems like it's...

    Same as some others. I have a perfect situation at work where the car has to make just one turn to get to the front door. I'm testing that day 1. Testing it at the entrance to Costco on a Sunday .... probably not. :D

    Just got 2019.24.4

    In the same vein as rendering more vehicles, the two adjacent lanes now render vehicles in the distance to the extent of the display. I don't remember it doing that before.

    Just got 2019.24.4

    On the other hand, turn signal activated lane changes still decelerate ~2MPH when there's a car in the blindspot of the lane you're changing to EVEN if you're going faster than that "blindspot" vehicle. It's one of the few annoying features remaining in vanilla AP highway behavior. I see this...

    This charger and the one in Dennis are a big deal for the area. I've got a couple of friends waiting on Tesla purchases because they have condos and thus no access to home charging. Kind of unfortunate this one is all the way in the back of Stop & Shop and on the wrong side of the other stores...

    Autopilot In The Right Lane Is Disconcerting When The Lane Gets Wider (for Merging)...

    I never drive in the right lane for this reason and the fact that AP still doesn't handle high-speed cut-ins very well. Random construction, fire trucks, and stopped vehicles are also far more likely to be in the outside lanes. When using AP in a 4-lane highway (for example) I always drive in...

    Does Software Update preference > ADVANCED do anything?

    In the interest of science, you need to set one of your cars to "Standard" to see if it still gets the update at the same time as the ones set to "Advanced". Preferably one that's an identical make/model to one of your others. :)

    Chicken out trying auto park

    I've never heard of the car backing into another car. The ultrasonics should handle that. I'm more worried about grinding a rim on the curb. Though I saw Trevor from M3Owners had a good tip -- Make a "Parking" profile with both side mirrors aimed all the way down, so you can see both wheels.

    AP is Awesome and Fascinating ... But I Turn it Off

    I haven't come across a single bicycle yet on Rt 95, so I guess I've been lucky. :D I use (vanilla) AP every day and find it absolutely invaluable. 70+ mile highway commute. I don't use NOA, because I'm still better at making decisions than the car. Vanilla AP is better than I am at staying...

    One correction: the tax credit will drop in half in 3 weeks, not expire completely. It'll be $1750 on July 1st and expire on December 31. You didn't say how many miles your wife drives per day, because if it's less than 30 then you can charge it on a 120V wall outlet until you get a better...

    Is the current NoA helpful or harmful?

    Regular AP is better than I am at staying centered, keeping ever vigilant, keeping a constant speed, and is also smoother in a number of braking scenarios (many but not all). It also *always* uses it's turn signals when changing lanes (better than most people). I'm better than NoA in deciding...

    2019.16 Update

    Regarding the new Software Update Preferences 1. I'm assuming one might be able to leave it on "Standard" and then if you decide based on user feedback that you want to upgrade you can switch it to "Advanced", and perhaps trigger the update. In other words, this might function like an "Update...

    Blog Tesla Sued for Deadly Crash on Autopilot

    No, don't care. Of course it's a larger sample size. Your line of argument is irrelevant to two issues: 1. The protection portion was left unreplaced by the only entity that could replace it. It was in this state of disrepair for months if not years. I had researched it back when this...

    Tesla backing away from "Phone Key as primary key"

    Tesla is very sensitive to Bluetooth signal levels. With the phone in my back pocket it works ~50% of the time. In my front, 99%. Pixel 2 XL. Until I realized it was a signal-level issue I had assumed all sorts of phone-as-a-key issues, like needing to turn on the phone display. However...

    Sound Deadening Model 3

    Auto wiper suggestions

    The issues are: 1. Difficulty in fumbling around the on-screen UI while its raining. 2. The wiper NN appears to have no "memory" or any sequence of states to understand that its continuously raining or that its underperforming. As I result, I had the exact same ideas as what you posted.

    Extension cord for charging at 110V?

    Am I charging incorrectly?

    Generation charge is 136.42 transmission charge is 25.95. Distribution charge is 64.22. @hcdavis3 You need to add together the kWh rates of all three of these to get your real price-per-kWh number. On Eversource in MA you should be somewhere in the 0.22 - 0.27 range I would guess.

    Upgrading NEMA 14-50 to HPWC

    I'd also suggest HPWC set at 40A with the dip switches (you set it at 80% of the rated circuit). @Mikey122687 You should look at the voltage the car is reporting while charging. My guess is that it's low, i.e. your wires are heating due to either improper sizing or a non-ideal/loose connection...

    Getting NEMA 14-50 Installed tomorrow

    At the least, you should be able to rotate the outlet pretty easily provided there's enough slack in the wires. You would obviously want to shut off the power first. Get someone who's familiar with electricity if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

    Getting NEMA 14-50 Installed tomorrow

    Get 50A breaker and use 50A wiring. 60A wiring would be even better to be a bit more future proof. Also, the outlet needs to be upside-down from convention. Look at the plug on the end of your mobile connector for the proper orientation. Ground on TOP. Show this to the electrician if he's...

    Charging @ Home & Charging Before Driving in AM

    OP, in the winter you ideally want the charge to end (or some part of charging to end) just before you leave in the morning. This is because charging will heat the battery pack and you'll have regen braking available. In the summer I don't worry about it.

    First experience with TACC failure that almost caused an accident

    From my read -- The truck is a tall wall-of-white in bad weather and not moving ... since every other lane around you was moving, the radar was fooled and started to ignore it. Further, the camera NN didn't have a good identity on such a tall, close object. @novox77 Bug report is good, but...

    First, yes, 40A wiring is allowed on NEMA 14-50 per the table as @ucmndd mentioned. Perhaps this is some of the confusion. However, 30A is not. 20A is not. etc. @eprosenx the relevant code is what we both quoted. 210.19 (A)(1) The difference in interpretation is of the following...
