    Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision

    Same here. Regularly drive this and a newer AP 3.0 car. The vision+radar FW has less phantom braking, follow distance of 1 (even though it’s now more than AP 2.5 follow distance of 1), and 90 mph limit.

    Suspension rattling sound turned out to be a loose bolt!

    For safety issues such as this, you need to either drop your car at a SC without an appointment, and refuse to leave before they look at it, or use the app to tow your car to a SC. Then again, in my case, they looked at it and failed to spot it…

    Model 3 : control arm disengaging

    Glad you’re alive. Seems to be a common issue, unfortunately. My car wasn’t part of the official recall

    2022.20.8

    That’s how one would suppose SW should be versioned (or add another . for bug fixes) but it’s certainly not the case with Tesla. For example, 2022.20.7 added a new, more complex, range estimation algorithm over .6 per @greentheonly

    Model 3 12v Battery issues, monitoring, Aftermarket replacement

    In general, (at the same capacity,) lead acid batteries have a lower internal resistance than lithium ion batteries.

    80 MPH limit unacceptable

    Everyone should research what happens on the autobahn. Hint: its per-mile fatality rate is less than half of US interstates. http://www.bast.de/EN/Publications/Media/Unfallkarten-international-englisch.pdf?__blob=publicationFile The common mistake here is to assume travel speed (and speed...

    FSD Beta Revocation

    FSD beta 10.5 is absolutely horrible and unusable in the day too if the 2-lane road has any curves. Turning off FSD beta improves it significantly, but still way worse than radar+vision

    Significant ride comfort in MYP Performance with 19" Gemini wheels/ higher profile tires

    It will ride better, but it won’t match the LR. The performance suspension is stiffer and rides 0.6” lower than the LR

    Vision Only Limitations

    Exactly like driving to 95 in normal cars. If autosteer is on AND you exceed the limit, you’ll get locked out of autosteer for the remaining of the drive. P.S. it’s not just the obvious limitations of 80mph and follow distance of 2. The overall autopilot performance on my vision-only Model Y...

    Vision Only Limitations

    It locks you out of autopilot. Similar to 90mph in vision+radar cars. Very annoying.

    FSD Timeline Promises (summary)

    They are not all mediocre. Some are pretty decent. For all-around driving, Tesla's L2 system is IMHO currently the best. For geofenced highways, not so much. But only one auto company, Tesla, sells an L2 system with the unsubstantiated promise of L5 in a few weeks to a few years. Something...

    2020 Model XL rear-ended

    The smoke / dust was almost certainly from seatbelt pretensioners. While deploying airbags may have been a losing proposition in this impact (whiplash reduction vs. inherent dangers), pretensioners would have been a no brainer. Also, the survival space for the third row, if there had been...

    FS: ~New Model Y Performance 21" Uberturbine Wheels + Tires + TPMS + Caps

    I sure would, but not sure how shipping and customs would be. My guess is $500-600 for shipping, but please feel free to look into it yourself. The fronts weigh around 30.6 kg and the rears 32.8 kg (without packaging). Dimensional weight might be higher though

    Up for sale is a set of Model Y Performance 21" Uberturbine wheels + tires + TPMS + center caps. Perfect condition. Virtually new – taken off my new Model Y at exactly 20 miles. $3000. San Francisco Bay Area. Local pickup preferred.

    Model Y 40% more efficient than Mustang Mach E

    In this 75mph range test, the RWD Mach E beat the Modey Y Performance by 9%, Even though the claimed EPA range of the Y was 8% higher! https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a36847087/2021-ford-mustang-mach-e-vs-2020-tesla-model-y-compared/

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and answering so many questions. Electrek claimed a normal steering wheel will be provided as an option. Do you have any indication of such an option, or allowing a swap later on? https://electrek.co/2021/06/11/model-s-plaid/

    Suspension rattling sound turned out to be a loose bolt!

    I started having occasional clicks/clunks/creaking noises two months or so ago when turning the steering wheel at low speeds. By the time I got an appointment and took it to a service center (Nov 4), they couldn't reproduce and didn't care to check anything beyond a test drive. The noise gets...

    Model 3 Trunk Button Stopped Working

    For the record, I’ve ran into the same issue. April 2018 build, 33k miles. Started as an intermittent issue, which I originally blamed BT / the app for, but it became more common and now 100%. Mobile service scheduled.

    Regenerative braking control missing

    Exactly. Same reason that sport mode on most cars doesn’t stick after a restart. If a car depends on a configurable setting to achieve its EPA consumption rating, it must automatically revert to the efficient setting upon restart to get full credit. If it ever comes back, say for winter...

    Out of curiosity, what made you folks go with the SR-? $2k seems like a steal for what is added in the SR+ (seat material/heat/power, range, ...)

    Model X Crash on US-101 (Mountain View, CA)

    Not entirely correct. The “idea behind the structure” was indeed to absorb energy by design, and based on the photos of he accident, had been completely utilized in what appears to be a textbook fashion. Note that the structure has a flat surface on the front to spread the load and not cut...

    Model X Crash on US-101 (Mountain View, CA)

    Considering the crash structure absorbs a constant amount of energy, everything else equal, in this particular crash type, a lighter car would have fared better. i.e. I'd choose the smallest car that aces the EuroNCAP / IIHS overlap and IIHS small overlap tests. Which reminds me that the only...

    Tire / Wheel sizes on the Tesla Model 3

    Looks really good. I would be hesitant going with a 32mm vs. a 40mm offset (and spacers can't correct) though, because of the change in scrub radius and torque/brake steer
