Thanks. Meant to say, "Blind Spot Assist". So, I guess you're saying that the cameras on the side of our vehicle that display side views when backing up, are not "turn signal cameras"? Just as a matter of interest, how do those cameras differ from the ones we have?

We have a subscription to FSD Beta. However, Blind Side Assist does not show as an option [should I be looking someplace else?]. Up to now, I have not enabled, FSD, but even now, when I do (after all the dire warnings) I see no way to get blind side assist. Since this is an older model, are...

2017 MX @ 2023.7.10 We have two fobs for our MX, and each is connected to a different profile. When I am carrying my fob and approach the car, Easy Entry causes the door to open, set move back, and the display to turn on. If I look at the display, I can see that my profile has been invoked...

Good one! :)

We have a 2017 MX with AP 2.5. Safety score of 98, and subscribed to FSD Beta, but have not yet installed. Does the beta include birdseye view? We are most anxious to utilize this functionality when parking - if the beta has birdseye, is it useful in this situation? Will birdseye operate on a...

Nevertheless, the s/w could simulate what it doesn't actually see - especially when it comes to objects such as white lines demarking parking spaces. Maybe display what is actually seen in one color, and what is projected in another color or perhaps dashed. And as one moves forward, and the...

Hi mxnym: Thanks for the response. The ultrasonics work fine for ensuring that we avoid bumping into posts, etc., in front of the car. What we need assistance with is assessing our position in relationship to white lines, or combinations of lines and curbs, between which we're maneuvering...

4-year old MX, 2022.4 Now have a dashcam button on favorites bar. When we press it, we get a main display view from rear-view camera. Would like to be able to get a real-time view from front-facing camera (when moving and when parked) - is this possible? How?

We have been, all in all, very satisfied with our Model X over the last 4 years. Two usability deficiencies still bug us: 1. We are in our eighties and really need a grab bar on front seat passenger side to aid in entry/exit. Understand the lack of space due to cable runs, etc. in this...

Saw a post elsewhere (October, I think?) quoting Elon as saying that birds eye view would be made available to non-FSD vehicles. Have seen nothing since then, except for continued discussion of birds eye in conjunction with FSD. Any more definitive information on this aspect of an improved UI?

We have a 2017 Model X, with no FSD Beta. Recently signed up for Tesla insurance (now available in Texas). Tesla insurance rates are driven by (among other things) our Safety Score. The score influences a monthly reassessment of the billing rate. We recently received a notification of our...

Assuming one has electrical service that does not provide any incentive for off-peak usage, etc., what are the benefits of Scheduled Departure charging? My customary habit is to pull into the garage for the night and plug 'er in. When I get ready to leave in the AM, she's at 80% and ready to...

I got an update last month, and the traffic light display has improved. Somewhat. It now behaves as you describe in your post. However, I sure would like to have the signals larger, earlier. Sized as they are now, they're really not a lot of use intil I'm maybe 20' away - at that point the...

Yes - the upgrade included the FSD computer (according to the onboard display). As far as the TL display on the heads-up display: The icons that show there for the traffic lights are teensy (when the TL is more than about 40' away). When I'm closer to the actual TL, they do grow somewhat...

We have a November 2017 MX that received MCU2 upgrade this week. The display now says that the AP computer is "Full Self-Driving Capability" (or similar), but we have not purchased FSD. The car now recognizes traffic cones and stop signs. Stop signs are displayed in red and the icon grows...

We have MX purchased 12/17. The Infotainment software shows as NVIDIA Tegra. I believe that's MCU1 - correct? However, when I go to Tesla and try to display available upgrades for our car, there is nothing there as far as MCU or InfoTainment is concerned. How do I go about ordering the upgrade...

2017 MX #76329, at 2020.48.37.1. I have a [ostensibly] correctly formatted (FAT32) 128GB microSD. I have read the Tesla User Manual. The video icon appears when the drive is inserted in one of the USB ports. I do NOT get an 'X' when I tap )or press/hold) the video icon. The drive is...

I have been reading recently of President Biden's aim of getting 500,000 EV charging stations installed across the US. I got to thinking about some of the ramifications of having such a network. Just off the top of my head, here are a few considerations that I was thinking about--I'd love to...

Great dog pic! Breed?

Yes - I can do both of those, and I do get essentially the same results that you do. What I *don't* get, however, are the same results as I get when using the Tunein app on my PC or phone. E.g., CNN (the news source - not the music channel) does not appear. I have no problem getting CNN on...

Have not tried that. My concern is that the Tesla app (?) only shows about 5 channels, and just a few categories. Not at all what I see on phone or PC. I *really* want to get rid of Sirius/XM, and the free Tunein looks like a good first step in that direction...

I am a total newb when it comes to Tunein. I am tired of paying the exorbitant fees to Sirius for the 2-4 stations that I ever listen to in the car (Model X, 2017). Saw the Tunein option on the Tesla menu and decided to look into it. On PC, registered for free Tunein account, and saw the...

What a hoot! i was going 45 on 2-lane street packed both ways by commuters! Thanks for the info.

Saw a square icon containing a "P" appear very briefly, just to the right of the car image on the heads up display. It showed twice within about 30 seconds. I could see nothing special about traffic, my lane position, obstacles, etc. I don't remember having ever seen that before (in two...

Thanks to all above for your helpful input. My WQ (Worry Quotient) has now dropped significantly.

I'm now thinking (thanks to post here earlier) that the softness in the regen may be due to the fact that I had just charged? However, my charge limit is set to 85%, not 95% , so still a question in my mind.

Yes - temperatures here plunged to a frigid 56 that night! :-) Thanks for the charging timing tip. My habitual practice is to put the car in the garage in the evening and just plug it in and let 'er rip. I'll try to get more strategic in the charging protocol.

Thanks! As it tuned out, I had just charged to 85% - do you suppose that the 95% you quoted is just an estimated charge level where regen is abbreviated? And also, as it turns out, the dashed arc was immediately following a charge. I'll say this, though - the car is almost 2 years old -...

So: A. You're saying that this car doesn't have the PM motors? B. Have you not felt the regen difference since the update was installed?

I don't know what "Raven" is? Year is 2017 (December). MCU is 1 AP/HW is 2.5 (best I can tell from build date?)

I got 36.2.1 and installed over weekend. I have since noticed the following problems: 1. I immediately noticed that regen was acting squirrely - sometimes I got none and other times it has kicked in, but the braking action is far less than I am accustomed to. 2. I also have no new Hold...

Link to FB video?

'50,000" - really?

Go to your nearest supercharger and hang around - you'll probably see a M3 show up.

I'm guessing that Wexford, PA is just a tad cooler than Houston, TX these days? We live in Houston and have a MX. I have to keep the temp set at 72 on the driver's side to keep from getting a terminal case of the goosebumps - I like the fan at about 4. Wife likes it cooler, and sets her side...

Would like to see a couple of things: 1. Jazz up the dash cam support so that it always really records, and manages the file storage on the attached drive correctly. Tired of missing days of records ... 2. Correct the display of neighboring traffic on the heads-up display so that nearby...

Love the weather overlay suggestion. Second the motion.

Is it not supposed to deal with the recording space as a circular file? I.e., when it "fills up." isn't it supposed to just start recording over the oldest file in the folder? Mine seems to fill up and then quit recording (still showing a red dot, though). The whole dashcam thing seems buggy...

The dancing drives me crazy. It's got to be software. Some of the images have cars/trucks doing 360 deg. spins of vehicles that are at a dead stop. Seems hard to believe that it's a sensor issue. They never spin when the MX is underway, either. As long as this has been going on, it seems...

Homelink working ok on ours. Just got updated yesterday to 20.4.2 from 20.2.1.

Echo that - our MX occasionally turns the AC off on its own - no apparent reason that I can divine. Fan and vent settings remain the same.

I think you may be right - thanks!

Did get a recent update - couple of days ago. Have not yet looked at Release Notes. Lock confirmation is probably it - thanks!

Went to garage this AM. Fob in pocket, car charging. While I was moving around in garage, horn gave a very, very short beep. Unhooked charging cable and stowed it. Started to take garbage out to curb, and horn beeped again. 3-4 minutes later, it did it again. Have never had that happen...
