With FSDS I now set all common destinations as favorites to more easily select them again, and set destinations for nearly all drives with FSDS. But I don’t use automatic speed setting at all. It just does not work very well on minimal to medium traffic roads at any speed choice. It is too...

Six sigma quality, which I think of as aspirational, is 99.9997 % of the normal probability distribution, 3.4 per million. I believe that six sigma is much much better than the average driver. There is data that about one insurance claim per 500,000 miles driven. It’s not clear how many...

A Tesla is a continuous learning experience @redpoint5 . You benefit from reading the manual. Twice when you get the car and at least once every two years. Yes it changes with the OTAs. And if you think you can nitpick now, after the Christmas update most people have “ issues”. And it seems...

Then you answered your own question. The problem is old technology. Microsoft and Apple learned the issues with maintaining old tech, in their case it was DOS and Lisa operating system. One can avoid old tech not working well with the new apps by staying within about five years of technology...

Sorry but you are late to the Show. Swag came with the early cars years ago. A Tesla is a continuous learning experience. This forum is helpful if we all have the same problem at around the same time. But it’s iffy for new Tesla owners. You benefit from reading the entire car manual, probably...

White duck tape is easy and available on Amazon. But my Tesla does not use it except when I move it with Summon arrows. My hopes for future firmware….

But do recharge each day if you can.

I was becoming concerned that vision-only self driving would have obvious technical driving failures. The FSD 11.x looked promising, but could go either way. FSD 12.3.3 is very good at routine driving. It looks like it now could succeed without radar or lidar for primary driving. The...

Reboot it. Push the button for 10-20 seconds I think. Directions are in the manual.

Delete Tesla app. Reboot your phone. Restore the Tesla app. Often it’s old cached data.

Of course we will continue to worry, right up to FSD transfer happens. Then we will worry about; panel gaps, battery life, white interiors, climate change, etc. It is part of the normal for being a new or old Tesla owner. I just accept it as an on-going condition even tho I did get a VIN and...

So are you using UWB on the 2023.44.20.30.25 ? That has to be set up on the phone and in the car. I *think* that’s the software glitch. With prior firmware the Bluetooth link breaks for some reason. The fix is iffy. The Tesla phone link sometimes works a day or two later, maybe after the Tesla...

What version of firmware are you using? Mine often disconnects at 2023.44.30.25. I really look forward to 2024.2.8.x and Ultra WideBand phone links.

Just History and observations over seven years of Tesla quarters. And it’s easy to think through. Delivery each quarter is maximized, you are not being punished, ignored or discriminated against. Simple problems in logistics explain most of the Tesla behaviors. From the pictures of the...

Has walk away lock been disabled by the Detailing crew? That might have hampered them. And a reboot is always a good idea when the Tesla acts up. I can imagine a lot of control options being accidentally changed when detailing the screen and steering wheel. Good luck

Breathe deeply folks. Tesla tries to deliver all the cars by end of the quarter. People in California are last in line, East coast and south get shipments and vins first with lots of logistics. The Midwest is then next. Every quarter… Just think about how you would schedule across the country...

Service call on Tesla app. Good luck.

Stick and a ball of duct tape, sticky side out. That’s how I retrieve objects that are hard to reach.

Also, sometimes a bugfix or rapid update will pause a rollout. I hope for 12.4 with improvement over just a bugfix, 12.3.1

First picture was too large

I think it’s 10 inches on my Model Y. I think it’s the same with the current 2023/4 year.

@AlanSubie4Life Would you tell me the firmware you’re using (FSD 12.3?)? And is it Chill, Standard or Sport driving FSD option? Would you get a different different result at Chill? For humans, my observations are that Performance cars are often driven differently than non-sport cars…?

@PianoAl Yeah, you are right. It needs attention. You can submit that glitch multiple times by driving it like Chuck Cook does left hand turns! Be careful tho, you don’t need to become an accident statistic. With neural nets needing “data” to change, maybe retry a bunch of times, a few score...

Sadly, me too. On both of my Teslas. I think it is a software issue related to UWB phone links replacing Bluetooth. It might be fixed if we move to UWB when the Tesla firmware gets to 2024.2.8 Bummer. Now I carry the rfid card, just in case…

Common answer is “No”. It will vary abit. Real answer is, it’s not important, the Tesla will monitor batteries and handle it. Final answer is, set departure time and the car will be charged and ready.

No, the issue you are having is being too generic. 1) Is the usb drive formatted in the Tesla? An option under security I think. 2) have you saved any video to the drive? 3) can you view a video in the Tesla app or in the car? Now if the above work, you have content stored on the usb drive…...

It works simplest on the Mac. On the PC, it could depend on your windows operating system, the file system type on the pc and usb device and security settings on the pc. You basically just need to “allow” the Mac security settings for the Tesla usb device...

Just for completeness in the story, the return trip was fine. The Waymo picked us up about where we expected at the restaurant entrance. It recognized the phone that called it and unlocked to let us in. We quickly put on seatbelts, as the car slowly pulled away. It drove through a lower traffic...

Don’t all radio station have an Internet address and streaming? I haven’t used the radio in many years. Tunein works for the radio stations I’ve looked at.

Just a Waymo selfdriving example of how what’s relevant can surprise. I took a Waymo in Scottsdale for a two mile trip, four in the car, out to brunch, to a popular place with minimal parking. It seemed like a good idea. The trip was straightforward and the car drove well in all situations. No...

I recommend just reformatting the drive. As long as you don’t use the usb stick for music as well. Tesla seems to change how often and when saved clips exist. The are not really for you. You should set up the option to save video with a honk. Then if you need a dashcam video you can “save”...

Only if she saved the sentry cam (honked the horn). Then video is stored on the usb stick. Tesla does not supply old video to owners.

It can be helpful if you mention the firmware level you currently are at. And which software addons you purchased.

There is no “engine breaking” period needed. But it does help to become familiar with the various options in the car (chill, auto HVAC, sentry, climate, lights, profiles,…) A Tesla is a continous learning experience. You’d benefit from rereading the manual a few times. Have fun and be...

I always preferred to use the Hamilton station over Princeton Junction. The parking is easier. Hamilton has a parking ramp as well. But I have used the west side parking at Princeton Junction upon occasion. Parking in NYC is just too difficult and expensive. Trains to NYC and then Lyft, Uber...

A car 12 v battery has about 1.3 kwh. A Tesla 12v car battery has about 0.4 kwh. One could guess that the Tesla battery could wear out three times faster than a car battery, very rough guess. But in 2021 lithium 12V batteries started being used. These have a different recharge schedule than...

Four years with a TESLA 12v is a long time. Get Tesla to install a new one ( can be done by mobile ranger). Unless you have a lithium battery? Those *might* last Abit longer… Lead Acid 12V only cost about $100, lithium might be $400? I replace my 12V every three years since is a b+*#h to fix...

GM is a marketing PR company who tactics and strategies are aimed at making a media splash, not actually creating or accomplishing anything else. As a standard example, look at the GM and Bechtel announcement to build thousands of electric vehicle chargers In 2018...

Short answer is ”No”. Tires are what keep you driving and allow for stopping and lane changes. Luxury and Sport cars are very dependent on good tires. A sad side effect is that the friction needed for the car and driving behavior wears the tire down. If you truly want your tires to last a...

It’s likely there is a different answer for each variation of Model 3. Which manufacturing date are you referring to?

You could get an estimate from a Tesla body shop to get the dent fixed. Then you’d know.

In my opinion Crash ratings come from testers who buy the car and destroy it. The NHTSA does not buy every model and test it. Maybe by 2025, they might. Completely new cars get more testing than revisions. It should not be concerning.

I have MICHELIN PILOT SPORT ALL SEASON 4 XL Which are a better summer tire than CC2s and almost as good as a snow tire. Yes, the mileage is reduced, but maybe 5% ? However, i have better control in rain and snow. Here is a decent comparison.

I have found mobile service option is something that the Service Center decides, not something I can pick. If the problem is fixable by a Mobile tech and they are available, then the service center sets it up with a followup calendar options. I prioritize my service visits to be: am I willing...

Those generations can be a bit deceiving. The issues you are referring to could be related to the display chip you have in the Model X. There are nearly seasonal changes in your generations, HW1, HW2.0, HW2.5, HW3.0 with radar and USS, HW3.0 without radar and USS, HW4.0. Then the display chip...

You should be fine. In cold weather (below 40 Fahrenheit) your battery will deliver less miles per charge. Expect a 30% loss and you’ll be fine. If there is a big storm, chains are sometimes required depending on where you drive. Pay attention to local weather forecasts and sometimes highway...

My MYLR has low and standard Regen options. 2023.27.7 Firmware USA version. in winter, I go to low regen and chill mode. Then the car does no slide or fishtail on slippery roads or when slow down. It is just a personal preference.

The HW3 chip is better. The screens refresh faster. FSD benefits from the hardware. I did get HW3. My recommendation is get the upgrade.

I have found that in winter, my car drives better in the “Chill” driving mode. At one time Tesla recommended it for driving in winter condition's. I get snow covered roads here and it is much easier to control the car in Chill mode. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll select the option today for the...
