    Two J1772 charging issues: EVSE schedule and sharing.

    ok. so it's a known thing then. Good to know! thanks.

    Two J1772 charging issues: EVSE schedule and sharing.

    yes thanks as i have explained i am already doing it . Exactly, when it sleeps, it won't charge on EVSE's schedule, which i believe makes the car not fully compliant with J1772 spec in a sense that car should transition to state C if it needs to charge, in response to proper positive pilot...

    Two J1772 charging issues: EVSE schedule and sharing.

    Hi, #1. When charging on EVSE with internal schedule due to time of day variable rates, M3 does not wake up once EVSE starts advertising. No other J1772 car i have or had had trouble following J1772 pilot signal regardless of when it transitions. My problem is that since i am charging two...

    Corrupt video files in Sentry Mode

    same thing here. a lot of corrupted "left repeater" files specifically. No OS corruption though as before noted. It is either files are not entirely flushed, or some encoder compatibility issues.

    Feedback from BMW or other premium brand converts?

    Just an opinion, so take it for what it is. I will believe it when i see it. The problem is not model design,or new auto lines, or even the fact that these manufacturers just have to cut corners on EVs to protect their still existing ICE business in some way. The problem is battery supply...

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    yes i did. i did not receive any email receipt of the transaction or changes in online car profile, but the AP was enabled some time mid day the next day of the charge. 4 days sounds like more than it should have taken.

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    i ordered one for 2k too, and i was (am) critical of it too. Subjectively it felt like it handled 580 curves better today than during my month long trial. Not sure, maybe too few miles yet, or maybe cameras are better calibrated now... Anyhow it seems that 2k version is not the same as the 5k...

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    I think we start seeing a weak spot of Tesla direct sales. I was asked a 3 to 5k markup over MSRP for a first year model of other car in different places. A year later i got it for 1.5k below the invoice. People who bought first, did not care. Tesla does the same, except now that the info is...

    All I can do is just laugh

    same happens to me during rain. Only it is water... But i like the lines. Also probably necessary for drag. Something's gotta give.

    SGIP program in California

    I would assume sgip should be going (to the degree it can go anywhere outside PGE anyway) because the funding is the state's money really, not utility's. And especially since the money is already preallocated at some point early in the application process. I guess worst case SGIP will lay off...

    PGE EV-A rate slashed

    Hm. 2018 Uconnect module really seems to have been less reliable than 17 in general. In many ways '18 seems to be more of a "first year model' than 17 :) BTW i owned a house in PH area for 10 years before moving to mid bay ten years ago

    PGE EV-A rate slashed

    you mean something is wrong with it? i never put it on a schedule, instead i have put the schedule into the hydra evse.. Ours was pretty problem free, surprisingly, given how many issues '17s and '18s seem to have had (knock on wood..). the sliding doors started to creak after 15k a bit but i...

    PGE EV-A rate slashed

    i have two evs (one of which is a minivan) and 2x pw2s to shift the house. Although i don't have a regular commute, we do put around 25k miles on the cars. I consume about a little over 1mwh/mo for the cars and the house. all costs around $150/mo, 100% at off-peak rate ~$0.125/kwh (i have 0...

    Your comments on Elon's letter to Tesla employees

    I've always thought something smells about the company talking about sustainable transportation as their primary motto, and then taking its sweeeet time designing falcon doors on an suv which is not even that much either of a sport or utility, yet sets an average citizen back 2.5 to 3 years of...

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    Wow. Oakland looks like a safe heaven compared to SF! But wait, look at LA! Nicely done, neighbors. I guess LA is a bit less "sanctuari-ous".

    FSD very far away due to regulations?

    My point exactly. Forget regulations. They (the manufacturers) will not let us have it any time soon, even if they are allowed to, unless they are ok with massive issues of the kind. At least not in the way of complete autonomy level 5 definition. (This is more a reply to the thread question)...

    FSD very far away due to regulations?

    i am more dubious about it on technical grounds, not regulations. I am familiar with the details of GoogLeNet, which is rumored to be the prototype for Tesla's AP networks. I am also somewhat familiar with autonomous flight work. And i am fairly confident both are too weak to be the FSD basis...

    1.31.0

    agree. Although, it worked flawlessly for so long, it kind of trains you out of checking on it, it's hard to exercise due diligence.. Still, i would love to have an option to control when and if updates are flashed. Ask me first. And if it isn't broken, don't touch it. (same as with the darn...

    1.31.0

    seems like a glitch. flipping ok this morning flipping the "subpanel" switch which apparently also reboots the gateway, made the power readings run again and eventually (but not immediately) took it out of standby. Rebooting individual batteries on the other hand did not have any effect. Ok so...

    1.31.0

    I got it and all reporting stopped, all directions show 0, both in the app and ui, and the status reports standby. What gives?? Nothing like that happened before. TOU shift schedule apparently stopped working.

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.50.x

    for the most part, statistics assumes indefinitely large population and absolute sample size. For most testing purposes, even 100 would give you a suprisingly good confidence (e.g., imagine you want to reject that coin is at least 60 to 40 unfair, 100 tries is plenty to reject that with a good...

    Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

    yet they spend their time on Christmas farts. There is no bigger problem than the lack of fart sounds in a car. Although, lately it seems they are working on one solution. Apparently they are flooding the area in hope that amount of cars would outnumber the thieves (a herd of zebras vs. a...

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.48.x

    this narrative of "the car gets better over time" also is "some new bugs are introduced at any time" in this case. I am really fine with my car "getting better" much less frequently, say once every 6 months rather than once every 3 weeks. Really fine. What's the point of updates if existing...

    How do you create a mobile ranger appointment? All I see on website is in person meetings

    at some point i noticed that they may or may not appear on the service center list depending on location (my home location was not showing them). I talked to them and they were surprised they were not available for all locations (at least, my location) and gave me a number and assured that i can...

    Model 3 Software Update 46.2

    did not test it out extensively yet, but 46.2 seems to cause the BLE passive entry to work on both my and my wife's phone (both androids). It never worked for us without pressing power button before outside our home garage. But now it did, which, again, never happened before when not parked @...

    How does every clean their model 3? Is Automatic car wash a bad idea?

    california duster (with proper application) and aerocosmetics waterless wash seemed to have been enough so far. In winter now that it's raning every other day, it seems a bit less of a point but the aerocosmetics still seems adequate. P.S. I believe the Aerocosmetics is the same product as in...

    Rock Chip on Windshield (in Bay Area - CA)

    Somehow Dublin SC is severly down-scoped in what they can do. They can't even do things that mobile service would do.

    Rock Chip on Windshield (in Bay Area - CA)

    Good place. I just replaced a windshield on my minivan, should've gone thru them (but i used autoglass express @ Berkeley who did excellent job as well with their mobile service, and told me they are doing a lot of Teslas lately). Wow. it's like every second review there is for TM3 back...

    EAP drifts to the right when first engaged

    yeah. i hope it will improve. Since i own it, I need to hope. But for just observation's sake, less functionality IS _less_. Esp. when compared to traditional mainstream implementation (as in every other car that has a similar feature, except Tesla) and sacrificing 25 to 55-limited highway...

    EAP drifts to the right when first engaged

    yes. collision warnings (audio scream-ish alarm) can be enabled in the settings at 3 levels at the same place where the emergency breaking is, i beleive, and have nothing to do with TACC (except like i said they probably share same prediction pathways with TACC phantom breaks, which is part of...

    EAP drifts to the right when first engaged

    Also. Strange thing. I just realized that the online manual does not have cruise control section . Instead, it says: "If your vehicle is not equipped with the optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full SelfDriving Capability package, refer to the owner's manual on your vehicle's touchscreen for...

    EAP drifts to the right when first engaged

    You answering past the issue quoted. The particular issue of collision warnings going off in benign situations which has nothing to do with TACC. Technically it is not even part of eap, but it tangential to phantom breaking b c they probably use the same or similar prediction models. Issue...

    EAP drifts to the right when first engaged

    as i mentioned, my pachy's ACC (they call it adaptive cruise control) works at any speed and up to full stop without false reactions to cars that are not even on the road. Granted, their advanced safety tech packages are pretty recent (no more than couple years for pacifica and perhaps not...

    EAP drifts to the right when first engaged

    I was referring to collision warnings. Thery are either on and scream, or off (and then always silent). not my point. my point is EAP makes regular cruise control unavailable. With EAP, stalk down is now reserved for TACC and there's no way to enable regular cruise control which is available...

    EAP drifts to the right when first engaged

    er... "stop using it" implies disabling it in the settings... Which i am not going to do when i am driving from one enviornment to another. Is there any way to prevent warnings to go off?? "not use them" by plugging my ears when it screams? I am respectfully saying this is ridiculous use case...

    EAP drifts to the right when first engaged

    i did read it. "city roads" are not advised for autosteer feature only. Phantom stops are feature of TACC which does not have such restriction, in fact it explicitly suggests wide range of its use as follows: "To use Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, you must be driving at least 18 mph (30 km/h)...

    EAP drifts to the right when first engaged

    yeah. i don't like EAP either. Got the 30 day trial. I actually expected to love it and buy, but as i keep going on with the trial, to my surprise i am more and more convinced that not buying it now was a correct decision. This thing has more bugs and uncertainties than my chinese-made android...

    NEW EAP Trial

    42.3, 30 days, noticed "summon" appearing in the app this morning before i even had a chance to accept/start the trial on-screen. Summon clearly terrifies me, especially when backing into the garage. Besides, it doesn't back into position that leaves most space between cars, so it is not...

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.42.x

    42.3 still creates fsck artifacts (which means fsck finds problems on reboot which means previous shutdown was not graceful). Arrrgh. Tesla, how can ye be so brilliant yet so dumb? Even a Pi wouldn't do such things.

    Model 3 Software Updates

    I got 42.3 just 5 am today, which was like Thursday only, and today people are already getting 42.4. it's like they wake up, look at the logs for an hour or so, spend half an hour actually trying to fix what they saw, and another 15 20 minutes of qa cycle. No wonder next morning they yet...

    Updated to Version 2018.42.3

    I haven't got "X"s since i reformated a 128Gb Suntek into 2 partitions a little under 32Gb each, unless i pulled out the usb. If i pull out usb, then i am guaranteed to have dirty bit set, which could only be repaired with fsck on my computer but not in Tesla. So no, i haven't had "X's on 42.3...

    Did I Make a Mistake Skipping EAP?

    Thanks for the correction. i admitted i did not know for sure. My argument about non-eap Tesla being less than my much smaller cost Chrysler still stands though. (I guess Tesla's equivalent of ACC would be traffic aware CC, which you can only have with EAP)

    Did I Make a Mistake Skipping EAP?

    And again, i have to agree. There's no such thing as disposable income. Well, not any more at least. Every 10k you "dispose" now is +30k perhaps more at the time of your retirement. If you think you are going to be set to retire comfortably without those 10k , fine . But my problem is, it is...

    Did I Make a Mistake Skipping EAP?

    +1 . Now they have increased it to 7k. Well, they can have it even more so than before. I actually expected them to drop the price on pre and post sale gradually (maybe not that early, but closer to the year end). It really should be a standard feature -- what was that best auto lane and...

    ICE: Would you ever go back?

    also, see threads discussing imminent 18.42.x update (with screenshots). Its release notes explicitly say fob is now supported. By the looks of it it is a matter of a month or two at best. (Don't quote me though:) ).

    V9 car detection issues...normal?

    +1. False positives on curvy streets with parked cars with medium warning on pre-9, but "healed" with "late" warning, and with 9 it started happening even with "late" warning. Turned the FCW off completely. Strange thing, same exact thing works absolutely flawlessly on Chrysler Pacifica for...

    Tesla customer service is the WORST - esp Costa Mesa

    QC is pretty bad. Even on the display vehicle, as recent as 1 week ago at Dublin, there's been a MSM on display with driver tail light sticking out by what looked like a 1cm gap, with the passenger side of the same barely having 3mm. My copy also has what looks like 7-8 mm gap of the tail...
