    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Clearly my Liftmaster jackshaft opener does not support it. Do you possibly have a link or any further details about which garage door openers support Homelink 5?

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Homelink only works as a toggle based on location. It has no knowledge of the state of the your garage door. I recommend using visual cues and then using the "Activate" button in the car. That button is essentially like the remote clicker (and is present right next to Homelink Icon). Homelink...

    Automatic settings on windshield wipe when on auto pilot (problem worse)

    Tried FSD for the first time yesterday. During the day there was no wiper issue. However, during the night time driving they activated almost every time we activated FSD. My wife gave up and said she is not trying FSD in the night anymore. Absolutely clear sky and there was not a drop of rain...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    something doesn't sound right. How can you leave home with a door closed? At minimum, you'd need to open the door first to come out of the garage, right? If so, then how can HomeLink "Open" and already "Open" door? It can only close it. Same for when you come home. If the door is already closed...

    upcoming Massachusetts off-peak electric rates for EV charging??

    From what I have observed, the rates go high from October/Nov to April/May timeframe. What you are seeing now are the so called summer rates where the suppliers are able to commingle Solar power and reduce their rates. So if you are able to lock in a rate for say 6 months or 9 months with no...

    upcoming Massachusetts off-peak electric rates for EV charging??

    This is good to know. Thanks. Hopefully when Eversource implements something like this, it might probably work the same way. I am still curious though, how the rebate is implemented. If the supplier is providing electricity (lets say at $0.15 per KWh) then obviously they won't supply at...

    upcoming Massachusetts off-peak electric rates for EV charging??

    1) Your National grid bill has two major components. Supplier/Generation and transmission charge. When you say they give you a few cents off, I am assuming they would be giving that off of the supplier charge. Usually Transmission charges are *NOT* discounted. But I could be wrong. 2) Also...

    upcoming Massachusetts off-peak electric rates for EV charging??

    Do you know if this (peanut) discount is offered both on generation and delivery? Or only on generation? Also, what if you have another supplier which is already cheaper than the standard variable rate of National grid? Do you get any discount from the supplier too? Just curious how this is...

    upcoming Massachusetts off-peak electric rates for EV charging??

    Eversource is showing "Managed charging coming soon" for past 2 years. https://www.eversource.com/content/residential/save-money-energy/clean-energy-options/electric-vehicles/ev-charger-managed-charging I have sent numerous emails but the standard response is that they are working with the DPU...

    Try a different SC if you have one. Alternatively, try another day and see you can talk to another agent.

    Windshield crack out of the blue

    Happy ending. My local Tesla SC replaced the windshield free of cost. If anyone else sees a crack appear for no reason, you must report to your nearest Tesla service center. They might be able to assist you and replace the cracked windshield as part of the warranty.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    If you had read the entire thread, you'd realize that this is a software issue introduced in a more recent software update. You are extremely lucy that you are still on 2023.xxx software and that is why you were able to install it. Most of us are on 2024.xxx software that was released in first...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Agreed. However he does offer correction at 03:55 in description by offering another video where he has put the bracket correctly: I did put the bracket correctly and it was a pain. There is no easy way to do it but I was able to get it installed. the right way.

    Windshield crack out of the blue

    2023 MYLR. 9807 miles. The crack is from inside. When I drag my nail from outside it’s smooth but from inside it scrapes a little. I will take it to Tesla to se what they say. Hoping for the best.

    I just had similar issue today. Was wondering if Tesla replaced it for you?

    Windshield crack out of the blue

    My Model Y windshield developed a crack on its own. It was standing in my driveway, just outside my garage. It was raining for sometime and then it stopped and the sun came out. I went to bring the car into the garage when I found the crack. It was not there a couple of hours ago when I took the...

    Can someone suggest the best color match for Gemini Wheel Curb rash repair?

    I am attempting to fix the curb rash in one of the wheels. Wanted to see where I can find the best color match for the Gemini wheels. I have done this in the past many years ago on another car where I was able to find a kit that came with sanding papers, the paint and the epoxy enamel. Can't...

    Yet another 100% charging question

    Good point. I guess the rental cars might provide some actual data on how charging cars to 100% and then run them down to closer to 0% (in a rinse and repeat cycle) impacts the battery life of a car. Granted rental companies don't keep cars for more than 3 years, still it might provide a good...

    Yet another 100% charging question

    The biggest point I was trying to make (but it got lost in variety) is that if you are an apartment dweller (think NYC) and do not have a way to charge the car at home, your only choice is public chargers. You may just want to go there, charge your car to full so that you don't have to keep...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Once again, there were ZERO installs for 2024.xxx in January. So its impossible that you were on 2044.xxx if you installed in January. You can check this link below for more details: https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/ It was released to non FSD cars in the 1st week of February. As...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Yes I did not think of that, sorry. I did not realize that SC could be so far away. So just like everyone else, I am pissed too. Its literally a plug and play if it worked. I continue to hope that Tesla will either fix this in future updates or someone will figure out how to bypass the...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    You keep saying that and yet you never disclose what version of Software you were on when you installed. We already know this issue started with 2024.xxx. Either you somehow prove that you were on 2024.xx version of Software when you installed it (which came in 1st wk of February or so there is...

    This ^^. Its just not worth it to save $100 because its a hit and miss (mostly miss).

    After OTA update 2024.2.3 received notification battery low even I have 76% during that Notification

    If your car is just 1 month old all of this would be covered under warranty. Just go to their SC and get this work completed. Good luck.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    OP here and I just realized (because someone DM me on it) that I had a typo in my msg. I cannot edit the msg anymore so wanted to clarify here. The software in my car was 2024.2.21 when I tried to the do the install and got the authentication error. I am very sorry that I did not check my msg...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Or at least cannot be changed by "us". Maybe Tesla Techs know how to reconfigure but its not clear what they do. Also, not just used parts but even Brand new OEM parts purchased "outside" of Tesla won't work until this software glitch (or deliberate blocking) has been fixed/removed. In the...

    What are your home electricity rates?

    MA State can spend $115 million (and more) to feed and house illegal immigrants but the DPU cannot negotiate with the utilities to offer discounted EV charging. And the governor has plans to have millions of EVs on the road. Tax dollars are being totally well spent.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Its mute point to discuss eBay listings anymore. Tesla has killed this retrofit for now. Who knows it might come back or someone might find a way to avoid the Authorization error. But right now, aftermarket modules are not working.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    OP here and wanted to share my experience. I have 2023 MYLR, Fremont build picked in March of 2023. Ordered the OEM (brand new) part. Got the authorization error during the install (hence this thread). Tried everything but it did not work. I am on software 2023.2.2.1. Finally took it to the...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Not sure where you are looking but I got the brand new OEM module with bracket and the nut for $165. It took me less than 10 min to install (free). If that had worked (as it was supposed to as per so many YouTube videos) we wouldn’t be having this thread discussion. If Tesla had not blocked the...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    There are a lot of variables here. What was your software version when you did the install? Most of us having issues are on recent builds. So the general feeling is this got broken/blocked around Feb timeframe. Or maybe only certain cars are seeing it and others are fine. Clearly something has...

    Did he charge you for the install? I am going to the service center tomorrow for the same thing. So wanted to see if you had to pay for this.

    Yet another 100% charging question

    I am sorry but your analogy is completely wrong. Charing at a public charger (supercharger or otherwise) is an equivalent of filling up gas at a gas station. Most people fill up their tank when they to go gas station so that they can avoid another trip. It should be the same for Charging your...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    They did not look at it then. However, they scheduled a service call for me in the coming week to check and fix that. The invoice says $0.00 but you never know if they fix it, they might as for $$. I will keep everyone posted how this goes. It sucks that either its locked down or the current...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Tried that option too. Apple wants me to buy $200 Apple TV just to allow Homekit. Even then it will only work either with Siri or to Geofence integration. There is no native integration with Smart garage opener meaning it won't sense your car coming in. Geofence is too risky where I live, I...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    In retrospect, yes. However, there were so many successful installs all over, It was just a plug n play, so I figured let try this. It sucks that I ran into this issue. I did everything the videos mentioned. I will try to take it out and do a reinstall this weekend to see if missed anything...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    MyQ does not provide any integration with Siri unless you pay subscription. If I am incorrect, can you post the steps on how to integrate with Siri? I have MyQ for last 8 years and it worked very well with variety of integrations until it broke in November.

    Homelink Firmware Bug Confirmed By Tesla

    I just installed the Homelink retrofit but it does not work. I keep getting "Authorization" issue when I try to run the Homelink retrofit module in service menu. Maybe Tesla has deliberately blocked DIY installs for Homelink. Not sure...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Ok I got it. There is a software reinstall button in service menu. I did that and then tried retrofit again. Still no luck :( I am seeing a lot of msgs on the board with folks having issues with Homelink install after the recent software update. So it could be related. I will try to DM those...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    I am not following you: "try doing a software re-install first". Which software? Can you elaborate a little bit more? There was no software to install. I connected the module and then entered the service menu and tried doing Homelink retrofit under low voltage menu icon. I get this error when I...

    Mass: ChargeSmart/National Grid Customers - Issues linking Tesla to ChargeSmart?

    Ok so maybe you can do it between lets say 8 AM through 1 PM, if you happen to be at work during those hours. Or something like that. Good to know that non peak hours are from 9 PM to 1 PM. I have forwarded him the link. Thanks.

    EV tax credit and EV charger credit

    The most expensive town in Massachusetts: Dover, MA qualifies. But other surrounding towns like Framingham with significant low income population don't. Beat that.
