I was sitting in my office at work this evening when I received a notification from the tesla app that I had left the door on my MX open. That was weird since I had been at work all day. It was definitely not me opening the door since I was in my office a long way from the car, and the key...

Hi I've recently received the FSD H/W update for my MX. It seems a little underwhelming: It has added sentry mode recording, but the recording is useless because the video is stop/start (this apparently requires the MCU update to work properly). There are many examples of this online if you...

I do the Xmas show pretty regularly because I often attend the EV display at car shows, and also are frequently asked when kids are riding in the car. I've noticed that recently the driver door is not opening as far as the passenger door, making the car look lopsided during the show. Is this a...

[Invalid post. Sorry]

Recently I did a longish trip and tried to use the AP on the motorway portions. I had a car full of people (6 - its an MX) plus luggage. I found that on very often on both straight and curved sections, the car seemed to start doing a slow, gentle weaving. The steering wheel barely moved left...

On 42.2... On my way in to work this morning, the AP had a few issues: Driving along a 2 lane road with a motorcycle ahead of me but in the next lane over. It would disappear and reappear on my display every few seconds, like the car couldn't keep track of it. Driving up to a set of lights, the...

Tunein is the Tesla software to connect to Podcasts provided by tunein.com. It was developed by Tesla and not by Tunein (I checked before making bug reports). TLDR is: it's crap. I filed quite a few bug reports on it in V8. While its got a pretty new face in V9, all the core bugs that render...

On a long drive over the weekend I had yet another case of phantom braking. It was in reasonably busy but fast traffic on a main (multi-lane) motorway. I had to hit the throttle quickly because of the cars close behind. This is V9 - 42.2 BTW. I'm pretty sure it was braking and not just slowing...

All, I occasionally attend EV events, bringing along my Tesla for people to look at, sit in, and occasionally I take them for rides. I've never let anyone else drive it yet. There's always concerns doing this - will anyone "accidentally" put it in drive, children opening and shutting the...

There has been lots of discussion and research on the impact of very regular supercharging on battery life. It appears the answer is “not much”. I’ve moved out of my house for a few weeks (renovations) and am living at the beach, 1.5-2 hours away from work (long windy drive... but totally worth...

I'm finding the automatic wipers provide erratic performance in .12, although slightly better than .10. Most of the time, vision is significantly/dangerously impacted before it double wipes. Occasionally it does an almost reasonable job (still a little later than I would like). In .10 it was...

Does anyone else have klunking noises from their windows? Specifically, my driver's side window makes 2-3 loud(ish) bump noises just before it finishes closing. The sound/vibration comes from directly under where the window is coming out from (i.e. middle-top of the door). It happened reliably...

All, Recently I had to do a trip to the north of Auckland/NZ, and decided to measure how accurate range values are on a 2017 MX 75D. TLDR: its impressive. Details I charged to 90% (301km). The trip was about 110 kms in each direction. 70% was on motorway or highway (80-100km/h limit, dual or...
