    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    Another follow-up, apparently he was provided the wrong version of the replacement part to install. He had us drive after him to the service center, where he got and installed the correct part, which did work successfully, as we tested at an EVGo charger on the way home. It was very finicky to...

    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    The retrofit is currently ongoing on my car, it's definitely interesting to follow the process! It's a pretty quick process to do the actual replacement, most of the time is just waiting on software. According to the technician, the CCS Retrofit option in the service menu has around a 50-50...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    This is kinda what happened when smart summon first came out! People figured out that OpenStreetMaps was the data source that Tesla used for parking lot maps, and started contributing to OSM to fix local parking lot problems! A lot of other mapping providers use OSM as an upstream data source...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I've found that they've been nearly completely solved on recent versions of FSD! Also they reenabled the "off" option for wipers while autopilot is active so it's no longer a significant issue even if you are encountering them, just switch the wipers out of "auto" mode.

    Vendor Wish you could reduce Supercharging usage? Looking for testers

    Awesome project! If you're still accepting volunteers to get free units for help with testing them, I'd definitely be interested! I'm especially interested in use as a portable device, as a couple frequent travel destinations for me don't have 240v service and aren't very near superchargers. I...

    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    The way I see it, the actual CCS support is a nice bonus that I'm unlikely to use often if at all. The main benefit is support for NACS chargers from sources aside from Tesla, which will start becoming a lot more common in the next several years now that everyone's committed to standardizing on...

    Got my first coal roll

    Congratulations lol. I got tons of coal rolls earlier on, but the frequency has died down since Teslas became ubiquitous around here, so now it's a rarity.

    Supercharger - Ozona, TX - 14th St

    Has anyone checked on these or heard any more news on them lately? Would definitely be handy with all the upcoming eclipse traffic!

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    So apparently I've been driving V12.2.1 for a while and hadn't even realized it (I assumed the last update to 2023.44.30.20 was a minor bug fix, not the update we'd all been waiting for for ages!) It's been really good so far! There's one intersection it routinely messes up, trying to go into a...

    Poll: When will we have Level 3 or Level 4 on highways?

    For the sake of this poll I would consider the "current hardware" criteria to be satisfied if any currently-shipping vehicles would be able to run level 3 or higher autonomy with no physical hardware modifications, even if it's only a very specific configuration such as only the current...

    Poll: When will we have Level 3 or Level 4 on highways?

    The nags have gotten stricter, largely due to government requests and in response to the defeat devices, but at the same time autopilot's handling of highways has gotten much better, so that's why I'm strongly hoping (as potentially unrealistic as it may be) that we get a nag-free level 3/4...

    Poll: When will we have Level 3 or Level 4 on highways?

    I'm curious when (if ever) you expect Tesla vehicles to be capable of (and approved for use with) Level 3 or Level 4 autonomy on highways, allowing the driver to, for example, read a book as the car does the driving. Also curious if you think any existing hardware (HW3 or HW4) will be able to...

    NHTSA make roads across the world less safe

    Personally, I don't object to the concept of driver monitoring, requiring attentiveness, but I do object to it applying only to the cars that are most capable of safely operating under those circumstances. There's no reason that Tesla should be required to aggressively nag drivers for glancing...

    How to arrange Fremont factory visit

    According to the latest episode of the Ride The Lightning podcast, Tesla is finally offering factory tours again, but now it's only available if two people buy Teslas using your referral code, and you choose to spend the loot box points on it. So that's exciting that tours are theoretically...

    2023.7.30 and Loss of Autowipers

    Is this feature documented anywhere? Or potentially just a placebo? It would be really useful to allow us to set the wiper speed just by manually pressing the button 2-3 times at the rate we want (regardless of whether it auto-adjusts from there or just keeps that speed), that would seem to be...

    Meet Electric Sidecar: a new mobile app for vehicle owners [seeking beta testers]

    Have you decided on a business model for once you're done with beta testing? Might there be an option for beta testers to get the final app for free or a reduced price? I'm interested in testing the app but don't want to find myself stuck with an expensive subscription or anything like that...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    The new 3D view when parking is definitely present on HW3 Model 3s without USS. Though I suppose there's a chance (but unlikely) that it's an MCU2 vs MCU3 difference?

    REVR: Proposed affordable Plug-in retrofit kit

    Seems an Australian engineering student is aiming to make a relatively universal and affordable ICE to plug-in-hybrid conversion kit, as described in this article by New Atlas. It's a clever proposal, installing the motor between the wheels and brake disks. Given the early stage of the project...

    how can we encourage tesla to give better audible alert of AP status: full, distance keeping, or off

    I'm of mixed opinions on this one. To me the notification beeps are all distinct and obvious what's going on, I've never been confused about the state of autopilot, yet when my mom drives the car she frequently gets confused by it, no matter how many times I explain the beep system and where to...

    How to arrange Fremont factory visit

    You'll have to contact Tesla about that (and let us know if they do let you), this is an unofficial community forum and it seems like they haven't offered the factory visits for a while as far as we've seen.

    Why didn't Tesla combine the electronic door release button with the mechanical emergency handle?

    I find the emergency handles to be far too familiar and intuitive, I always have to warn passengers not to use them, but instead push the button (which often still confuses them, they think they just activated the window switch). Thanks to the perpetual need to remind passengers about it, I...

    FSD V12 Elon Demo

    I've recently been experimenting with the AI large language models (think ChatGPT but running locally on my device), and lately a big focus on those has been on "fine tuning", taking a published large model (often Meta's Llama), and further training it on data related to the desired subject...

    How on Earth do you clear 'suggested' in Navigation?

    I was just laughing to myself this morning about how the navigation still recommends my ex's house that I haven't been to in over half a year now, I feel like it could be a lot more useful even just by adding a cutoff threshold for destinations that haven't been used for over a certain duration...

    Is it madness that wipers can't be controlled by the driver on cruise control or autopilot mode?

    That problem is much easier to resolve at least, since you can always press the stalk button or adjust the wiping speed to go faster. Meanwhile there's no options at all other than completely stopping use of autopilot when it is wiping while dry (or apparently buying the multi-hundred dollar...

    Is it madness that wipers can't be controlled by the driver on cruise control or autopilot mode?

    This is seriously such an infuriating problem, so often the wipers will start when it's completely clear out and sunny, and ends up streaking the windshield and wearing out the wipers with no benefit whatsoever, and forcing me to turn off autopilot! Happens with both of my family's cars, around...

    Export slacker song favorites or playlists?

    Before Slacker streaming is discontinued at the end of the month, is there any way to export all our favorited songs, so we can transfer them to Spotify or some other streaming service? Especially if there's a way to export the songs most frequently picked for the playlists, that would be fantastic!

    Faster A/C charging?

    Given that the Gen 2 HPWC is still common (and was for a while at least available from Tesla in addition to the Gen 3), and supports up to 80A charging, I think it's reasonable to expect Tesla may offer higher current charging on the large-battery vehicles than the 48A that most current models...

    separate commercial and personal use FSD pricing?

    Given the general consensus there seems to be that FSD is too expensive for most people at the current $15,000 price, but that's often justified by the claim that once it's complete, it'll be fully capable of functioning as an autonomous robo-taxi, and thus pay for itself, it seems to me that...

    Please help shape the future of charging infrastructure

    Same issue as the others (also on iOS), around halfway through the survey there was a question that didn't seem to have any input options, I tried disabling my content blockers (ad blocker, etc), and that reloaded the page and kicked me back to the beginning of the survey.

    Help with home charging on a new construction house...

    320 Amp service sounds completely unnecessary and overkill for a single car, or even 2 of them to me. We had a 60A connection to our HPWC with only 125A service, and now also added a NEMA 14-50 outlet along with a solar install (I'm not sure how much the solar installation is meant to...

    FSD attempts to run red light, twice

    this hypothesis is easy to test. Save the Dashcam footage of the event (or other times when driving near the intersection and at a red light), and see if there is a flashing pattern recorded on the camera that wasn't visible to your eyes originally. If the drive was recent enough, it might...

    First Ever NACS Adapter

    Regarding this sidetrack, I'd argue that in most cases it would be better to just offer slightly higher DC power rather than supplementing it with AC, though it could be interesting as a pass-through power supply for the vehicles that have 240V AC outlets, or a fallback mode for a vehicle that...

    regenerative braking and full charge

    It depends on some other factors too, like the temperature, a colder environment will have limited regen at a much lower charge level than a hot environment. Similarly, preheating the car can help increase regen availability at the start of a drive

    Will i be missing out on Enhanced Autopilot or FSD?

    You can still choose to pay the full price rather than a subscription down the road, though that price may change at any point (and in either direction). My understanding is that if you do buy the EAP for $6000 now, that reduces the subscription price to $100 a month rather than $200, so that...

    FSD Braking Breaking My Dog

    Yet another voice that the dog needs a seatbelt, preferably a secure harness! At a minimum there's things that go into the seatbelt buckle and connect to the dog's collar, though if your driving is as hazardous as you describe, your pup would probably be safer with a full-body-harness.

    FSD beta v11.3.6 (2022.45.15) not available on two lane roads most of the time

    I've also encountered this, one particular road I drive on frequently seems to be the main culprit for me, and more sporadically when driving elsewhere. Glad to hear it's probably fixed in 11.4.x, hopefully that rolls out more widely soon!
