Yes well when I got them manually moved back in. Pressing service mode. Didn’t move them out as it normally would so probably a bad motor. FYI.

Yes in older builds, it had to be in auto only AFAIK, but now you just need it not to be off. And reporting to all... 1. The failure mode for Tesla wiper motors isn't total failure, according to my buddy Jay at Tesla Service, it is that they stop and require a hardware reset to get going and...

Yes thanks I’ve learned a few things 1. This latest build under FSD doesn’t allow you turn off the wipers but you can switch from automatic. 2. I agree with you. We finally made it home today by the wiggle the wipers along bootstrap and then setting it on the fastest setting. We ran it all the...

Help! This is a safety issue up here I. The Pacific Northwest. Has anyone else had this problem? What’s a fix: 1. I don’t know if it’s software or hardware but we have a 2018 M3P. With FSD 2023.27.7. Never had any wiper problems before. 2. Last week it started really raining. And pulling out I...

Yuck!

Ok at 99 score with 100 miles plus since last Sunday. Curious how everyone thinks this works. Does it mean that there is a long queue of 99s and rollouts will continue so net, net just keep the score up and hope?

Great reco. Trying the same

What site is this?

Great advice. We have 55xxx vin. Trying now fingers crossed!!!

Ordered. Replaces two cars that have both come off of lease. A model x (which we really really miss but want the plaid version) and a Chevy bolt (which we won’t miss at all). if we can get away with our remaining “tall” car for our elderly parents then will compare the model y and model x...

Just tried. Mine works. Doesn’t crash

To give u a little more courage. We just did 180 miles at 30 degrees. No snow but lots of rain With pirelli snow tires. The 20% snow penalty is real. Abpr is accurate. Main thing is to manage speed and if you can draft pickups. It really saves range if u get behind another car. Speed matters...

Downloading now. I find that for blank release notes you have to wait for a bit. They seem to be silently downloading from the Tesla website and they didn’t have any visual indication of that. I’ve had to wait up to the next drive to see the release notes but YMMV

Reiterating both pieces of advice s as nd for the true power nerd: 1. Sign Up for Teslafi.com to record your consumption. 2. Use this to tune abetterrouteplanner.com. The key parameters are the weather and your consumption at 65mph. This varies for many people. Ours for instance is 245w/mi...

I’m not as picky as many of the experts on the board but our spoiler installed last month looks pretty good and appears solid.

I’ll second that. We’ve had ours for just about nine months now and we still giggle at full throttle. Your point about drive ability isn’t discussed a lot but is really true. Put it into chill mode and we’ve done 14 hour drives under autopilot like it is nothing. Feels like 3-4x less driver...

Just finished a 360 mile day trip. Wow. Wow. As other have said NOA is much better. lane changes work way better. More decisive. On our route still some confusion about lanes to follow. seems like a map problem. And Netflix is awesome. Tried Smart summon and it is kind of amazing. feels...

yup. Works great! For now :-)

Wow. Just wow!

And the other posters are right about how profiles work. As for why the seven seat version. After having the five seat version for two years, we never used the extra cargo space that the five makes available. Also the folks who sit in the second seat are small enough they don’t need the extra...

Yes chill is the opposite. It turns the power down. I think I read to half of normal. We find that for lost trips we don’t need anything like 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. The net effect is a much more mellow ride. I probably drove 95% in that mode. When I now I’m getting on the freeway or there is the...

One thing in the model x is to leave the car in chill mode. This basically detunes the car and it won’t be as lightening quick. I actually have three profiles in the car (u can set up to 10) but they are normal which is chill mode and comfort steering. So it rides very gently. We don’t have a...

Hard for me to compare as I haven't spent much time in a 18" M3. But we've driven it model 3 around town and then on a Seattle to Bay area roundtrip. The road noise doesn't seem awful. But then we don't have any experience with whisper quiet luxury cars. Compared to a really noisy Mazdspeed3...

Good luck! We were shocked at how good our first mobile experience was. Booked on the mobile app. The tech texted us awhile before. Showed up right on time pleasant. Said installing our spoiler would take an hour but it was thirty minutes. Did two service bulletin checks then he was gone. Wow...

At Least for us, the alerts and the autopilot stuff has been getting much better over time. So if you tried it once, it’s not a bad idea to try it again sometime. Just did 150 miles round trip with the 2019.32 and was surprised how much things like NOA has improved even since this July. Of...

I don’t know is UK cars are different but for our US M3 that would be about right. There are many posts on this but fastest charge rates are in the 15-30% range when you’ll get 145kW or so. It then tapers as the battery gets full. Really drips after 60%. As for preconditioning, that’s normally...

I don’t know if this word in Europe but in the US, abetterrouteolanner.com works really well in the web browser. Just add your route plan url in your calendar in the note field. In the car, open the calendar and click on the link. The browser opens and you get your route plan along with a...

Ymmv. I guess we’ve been lucky. Our model x (and 3) have had good reliability and service has been great. Of course we r not in the Bay Area so thats the main reason. The MX is a June 2017 build by the way. Main issue early on was adjustment of the rear doors. But none since. As for other...

We got both. Have a 14-50 and also use the 5-15 (we have two Tesla’s) and no variable power pricing. Net, net, we live with the 5-15, but the 14-50 is much more convenient for the occasional longer trips as you dhave not have to do multi day planning to get up to 95%. And we normally leave...

Congrats on your first road trip. We just completed a 5,000 mile one acids our MX and M3. What a blast! YMMV but I also usual also see it is pessimistic. If you think about it this isn’t a bad thing. You sound like a very efficient driver (awesome!) but the system seems tuned for the worse...

Hmm. Good point. We normally toggle up the speed on a pass. You can also set the NOA to different settings so you have enough differential speed when you pass if you don’t want to do that.

Thanks for that. All those numbers are depressing for others makers. I still can’t figure out how BMW sold 250 i8s last month. That’s pretty incredibly large for that two seater. Or how big the MS and MX still are even at their now much lower ship rates.

Makes me glad we haven’t called yet. By the way does the spoiler have any real Effect at normal (not track) speeds or is it all cosmetic?

Hmmm. You YMMV I guess depending on roads. Up here in the pacific northwest we have the LDA turned on and have been thru highways, rural and urban and have not been ping ponging. Haven’t used Suburu so it’s probably better. Only Toyota and Chevy Bolt. Also fwiw same with EAP it does false but...

Uh actually Apple started out in exactly that position in 2007. Nokia and Motorola and even Blackberry has massive scale advantages. The first iPhone sold 1.6M units. And it has just barely recovered from death and was a niche pc maker with a music player business. Apple iPhone sales by year...

We have a model x and a model 3. None of us are that tall so you have to see but they both seem to have plenty of head room. Depending on how much you drive, we have not found the need for more than 120V charging at home. We do have a 10kW charger but only a single one so we normally leave the...

I’ve had the same experience. It has gotten way better. :/)

Congrats. Love our red with white ！

Can’t wait!

Just watching Mecum Car Auctions and thinking the same. Corvette body and all electric below.

Seattle snowmageddon?

I’m just so lucky I installed the abstract ocean one the right way. Pure luck on my part! The matte works fine.

Interesting suggestion. I normally just cancel the full reverse by clicking any of the seat adjustment buttons. This stop shop easy entry from moving the seat any further and prevents leg crush. Also useful in those cases where I know someone will be getting in their later.

I’ve had this happen twice now on our model x. Tuning 2018.46. Went away both times after a few minutes. Felt like a startup glitch

Just did this two days ago and st least for me, reboots didn’t help on return to the US. But later in the day about six hours after crossing it returned. May be a coincidence but was after a deep sleep.

And rebooting the infotainment system. It takes some serious work but JD Powers which is also often cited does explain buts and pieces of their methods when they do press releases every year.

It is hard to know CR methods as they don’t publish them but for work I did an analysis of JD Powers statistics once. I can dig up the quotes but since CR and JD Powers track average reliability and use surveys you can draw done correlations. First is that the average reliability for JD Powers...

Ok after a few hours and now 120 miles from the border NOA has returned. The net is that if you go to Canada while NOA is not allowed it looks like you just have to wait until it returns you might have to wait hours. I tried rebooting the system twice but it didn’t help. Seemed to come back...

I’ll open a different post. But we had NOA but it disappeared when we went to Canada and came back to the US. It’s a geofencing problem

Yes. That’s strange. Never reenabled even after reboot and change in navigation. Autopilot is fine but not NOA.
