    Walk away lock works 50% of the time

    My son had his 2018 M3 start doing this. It ended up being the occupancy sensor in the driver's seat causing it.

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    So far my prediction is correct :)

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    Just a prediction based on past releases. No inside info.

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    v12 will be announced as released during the holiday update but will go to only a few internal testers. Real people won't get something called v12 until near the end of Q1 and it won't be earth shattering.

    Model Y never reaches its charging limit

    It may not even be the car, could also be the app reporting it down 1%. I have not checked as the charging usually finishes around 1am. The timing may correspond to installing 2023.27.7 on the car. Anyway, not worried about it.

    Model Y never reaches its charging limit

    Yes, I've noticed that. I have the app send charging complete notices. It use to always say complete 80%, but has said complete 79% the last few days.

    Intermittent turn signal change

    Use the full turn signal and turn on the auto cancel turn signal option. It will automatically turn the signal off after the lane change is completed. This article is on the S and X, but the feature should be on the Y and 3 now (I have it on my Y)...

    Car Thinks my Temp "Garage in a box" is a truck. Any way to stop that?

    The individual cars do not learn, but feedback they generate to Tesla is used in updated NN model releases.

    Car Thinks my Temp "Garage in a box" is a truck. Any way to stop that?

    It is probably nervous about going into a unfamiliar place. Try putting it's favorite toy in there or a blanket with your scent on it. Reward the car with a treat whenever it goes in. :) Seriously, is there something you can do to change the visual profile to make it look less like a truck? It...

    Does everyone use Time of Use Electricity rates?

    I use what my provider calls their "storage" plan. It is only active 11pm to 7am, but the rate is 4.4 cents per kwh rather than the normal 13 or so. It works well for me since I have yet to run the car out in one day's driving and am typically home overnight. For your case, try setting your car...

    Question on FSD

    My Y AWD LR from August with HW4 just got 2023.27.6 which is 11.4.7.2 FSDb.

    Question on FSD

    Updates won't go back in the version order, but it is possible FSD 11.4.7 or better will be in a higher version release than that.

    New Owner - Want New Tires

    I have not had the Y during winter yet, but I previously drove a M3 RWD for 5 years in Minnesota. For the 1st 3 years I drove on the OEM tires and had no real problems getting around in the snow. The traction control and balanced weight of the Tesla makes it very stable. When I changed tires I...

    Can you use Smart Summon while on FSD trial

    It does include it, but neither summon nor autopark are currently available on cars without ultrasonic sensors. That would be all new ones.

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP: Aug 2023 orders

    Just make sure the old car is on your account until the transfer completes. Mine finished while still in the parking lot but there are a few posters that have had it take longer and the form says up to a week after.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Picked up a Y with HW4 yesterday and I already miss the FSD beta. For all its faults it is definitely better than NoA on limited access highways. Going back to NoA really highlights how much better.

    Item 3 of the agreement says the transfer can be up to one week after delivery. Hopefully you just have a delay. I would keep trying to get ahold of someone at Tesla. They don't make that easy.

    Hopefully not screwed. You are supposed to keep both cars on the account until the transfer finishes.

    Tesla playing games with trade-in....

    I suspect Tesla is getting a lot of trade ins with the FSD transfer and it is affecting prices. If you do go 3rd party instead of trade in you can still do the FSD transfer, you just have to wait until after the new car delivery to sell the old car. Both cars have to be on the account when the...

    Since the FSD beta is not available yet you'll basically get the EAP feature set during the 3m trial. The FSD beta really preforms well for highway driving. Much better than the old AP/NoA. City streets are improving but have a way to go.

    If you bought FSD you will not have the summon and auto park features until they are updated for vision only. You also won't have access to the FSD beta until they release a version higher than the one that is installed in the car. You will still have autopilot and auto lane changes as well as...

    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    My Trade in initial offer was $26,300 which was before they knew I was transferring FSD. Final was $25,600. During the same time a offer from Carvana went down $500 so the decrease on mine appeared to be market.

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP: July 2023 Orders

    I doubt it. My guess is they would give you 2 options with that one. Switch the order to it and pay the transport fee to move it to where you are, or you go pick it up 100m away.

    Order Process for FSD Transfer

    Once I signed and returned the FSD transfer form I got an email back within minutes that I was all set and the transfer would take place after delivery. I would think once you have that acceptance you would be good. The only thing that would block it is if the old vehicle is no longer on your...

    Disappointed that they are not giving the credits. I specifically asked what the incentives were before ordering. and got the reply below. I'll still make some effort to get them to honor it, but don't have much hope of succss.

    Order Process for FSD Transfer

    Sept 30th is the cut off, but also likely they may allow a few in if close to delivery but you can't count on it. If you cancel before the FSD transfers off your existing car you are only out the $250 order fee. The FSD transfer takes both the EAP and FSD off your existing car and puts them on...

    States may be different, and my case was in 2021. My Parents bought a Y for cash with no trade-in.

    Boy, do I have a lot of questions regarding adding a Powerwall to my existing Tesla Solar Panel system!

    Unless you have time of use metering and need to time shift usage, Powerwall may not come out as a positive in pure spreadsheet numbers. The main advantage of Powerwalls is in the grid down situation. Beyond the obvious being to run on batteries you will also be able to run your solar...

    FSD beta Constantly Moving out of the Cruising Lane

    I did a 400m each way trip this week. On the way there I took interstate and the lane changes worked fairly well. It stayed in the right lane unless it needed to pass. It was a little reluctant to get out of the left lane unless there was a car behind me in that lane, but no unnecessary changes...

    Cannot use autopilot for more than 15-30 minutes

    The FSD beta does use both the inside camera and the wheel torque. Non-FSD beta is just the wheel torque.

    Cannot use autopilot for more than 15-30 minutes

    If it is disabling for the rest of the trip you are probably not putting turning pressures on the wheel. From your post you say you are holding the wheel and jiggling the wheel. It is not looking for holding, it is looking for rotational pressure. Easiest way to to that is to let one of your...
