    Any advice on FSD usage after 2 false strikes

    Hello fellow Tesla owners and FSD beta testers. I am seeking advice on continuing to use FSD beta and/or reaching out to Tesla after getting 2 FSD strikes due to (what I think is) a software bug. I have a 2017 Model S and I have been using FSD beta since it opened to NA users in Nov 2022. The...

    Tesla Service question (damage as a result of service, how to proceed)

    Thanks for the input. I tried to follow that advice but it was difficult tracking stuff down and (I imagine in response to my comments in the ticket) the estimate was removed anyway. The work proceeded and the service tech replaced the steering wheel controls (containing all the electronics in...

    Tesla Service question (damage as a result of service, how to proceed)

    I have a 2017 Model S. I am happy with the car and Tesla in general, and have recommended Tesla cars to friends, and I expect to have Tesla solar and battery backup installed any day now. I have always had a positive impression of Tesla, but recent events have me concerned. I recently updated...

    generation 2 wall charger color identification

    "Thank you SpudLime, for taking the time to read my post and respond, correcting my embarrassing misuse of common household terms" would also have been a perfect acceptable response. Just FYI.

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    I should also note that I did not install the bracket using the existing mounting holes. I offset the screws slightly and reinforced the inside so the incoming wire could come in from behind and the bracket could be anchored to the stud.

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    I ordered and installed one of those HPWC off ebay. I was a little nervous but I think it paid off. (I'm still not sure why it costs so much less on ebay.) I thought I'd share my purchase experience and describe the product in more detail. As I mentioned, I purchased it through an ebay listing...

    Simple DIY Parcel Shelf Lift

    The only thing I've bought from EVAnnex is the sunshade (for over the sunroof and rear seats), which I LOVE. Surprisingly good quality, in my opinion. On the topic of the parcel shelf, EVAnnex (or someone) should build an aftermarket shelf replacement. It could be rigid with it's own storage...

    Simple DIY Parcel Shelf Lift

    Nice job! When doing the shelf lift (and Onewheel sled) I was thinking that too: that the trunk could use more lighting especially where you added lights. I did install several AbstractOcean interior lights which do increase the existing lighting but what it really needs it light from more...

    AP2 - Definitely heading in the WRONG direction...

    I have 17.17.17 also (I believe this is one version behind silky). I think AP is impressive in general but I am surprised it has difficulty on what I would have thought would be very easy roads for it. When I leave my house I typically have a long drive down a simple two-lane road. Very wide...

    Simple DIY Parcel Shelf Lift

    It is much more convenient to have the back of the parcel shelf/rear deck lift out of the way when reaching into the back of the trunk. I put together a few simple items to have a very adjustable solution that in no way permanently modified anything on the car. The shelf can also still be...

    Garage door problems finally solved

    Great! I'm glad it worked for you as well. Every time I approach my garage I am happily reminded of the new receiver. In the time I have had it it has performed perfectly every time. The garage opens and closes exactly when the car says it will, every time. I haven't even extended the antenna...

    What do you have in your Tesla?

    Oh, right: I do also have: EVAnnex shades (split: sunroof + rear) Tesla liftgate shade I really like the sunroof shade. Nice taut mesh. I think the rear shade is good, but does not fit quite as nicely. The Tesla liftgate shade actually has the worst fit. There are actually wrinkles in the...

    What do you have in your Tesla?

    I have 160 miles on my Onewheel. I've only lost blood once: sliced up my hand when I went down while riding on some coarse gravel. It's made tough and it's reliable. True: it does sometimes do something unexpected but as long as you're paying attention it should be recoverable. It's a lot like...

    Garage door problems finally solved

    I really didn't want to put in incandescent bulbs around the garage. I have four outside lights on a timer to come on from dusk to dawn. Each opener also had either an LED or CFL bulb. I don't know what of those, if any, contributed to interference. I have never considered those openers very...

    What do you have in your Tesla?

    Flashlight in the center console, Onewheel in the frunk, roadside kit in the trunk, a few AbstractOcean lights in the interior, and a bunch of electrons under the floorboard.

    Garage door problems finally solved

    I thought I would share what I learned from my experience with my garage door openers. I had searched for solutions before without luck, so I am posting this here now to hopefully benefit anyone with the same problems. I'll start with some background. Feel free to skip ahead. I have been...
