    USB Device Malfunction

    I can understand that. The software updates are a double edged sword, both amazing, useful, fun, etc. but also the source of ‘omg, now what?’ frustrations and also the inability to tell if a problem is hardware that needs to be addressed (obvious in any other car that develops a new problem) or...

    USB Device Malfunction

    Obviously we’re all speculating, without running whatever diagnostics are definitive, that your issue is the same as mine et al. However, from your symptoms, it certainly sounds as though it is. I got my car fixed because a reddit post I followed convinced me the issue was the MCU, and the OP’s...

    USB Device Malfunction

    I take it that means you’re out of warranty? Mine was too, but just barely. I was able to get them to agree to pay for it after some negotiation, but I don’t know how repeatable that would be if you are well passed warranty. While Tesla denies it is related to the MCU failure, I think part of my...

    Failed MCU and USB peripherals — anyone still using Taptes Pro 6 USB-A port with success? Should I be worried?

    Anyone have an update on their Taptes Pro 6 USB-A hub experience? I’ve had ‘USB device malfunctions’ for about a year now, I actually bought the Taptes Pro last March to replace another hub I thought might be the culprit (along with trying new drives etc.). During the year long process to get...

    USB Device Malfunction

    Hey, I posted this elsewhere, posting it here too in case it helps anyone (@DrDabbles). My only question is, now that it has been resolved, do I dare try a hub again? (Was using Sabrent 4-port usb 3.0, switched to Taptes shortly after my USB woes started in early 2021.) Anyway, here you go…...

    Help. I need suggestions for solving "USB Device Malfunction" error

    Posted this elsewhere, posting here too in case it helps someone else. Happened to me. Also, fsdBeta bricked my AP with 10.4 download on 11/7/21. Mobile service replaced the USB hub, it failed again the very next drive cycle (said there was nothing they could do for the AP since it was on...

    Update 2021.24.4 caused "USB Device Malfunction" error

    Happened to me. Also, fsdBeta bricked my AP with 10.4 download on 11/7/21. Mobile service replaced the USB hub, it failed again the very next drive cycle (said there was nothing they could do for the AP since it was on Beta). Multiple updates later; no software fix. Got it into the SC...

    Did I fix phantom braking on the NJTP?

    So earlier this year I was southbound on the NJTP in cars/truck/busses using nav on AP, and the car suddenly reduced speed to maybe 50 mph from probably 70 mph. That was annoying. Then it happened again a few miles later, wtf. Whatever. Later in the summer I was on the same stretch of road, and...

    Blog Tesla Owner Cleared of Criminal Charges After Explaining ‘Dog Mode’

    I used it to leave my mother in law in the car.

    Was just told that AP 2.0 won't get FSD.

    I’m not a bankruptcy lawyer or anything, but as a shareholder, wouldn’t you be part owner of the company that is in debt and owes money it can’t pay? Aren’t shareholders last in line, per a hundred years of bankruptcy law, for the assets? If some guy in Washington doesn’t bail them out, and the...

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    The way I saw it was, EAP (with the parking, lane changing etc) was originally 5 grand to us, FSD (while still just a promise) was an additional $2 or 3,000 (I forget exactly). So the current offer is EAP with a free upgrade to FSD - sounded worth 5k to me.

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    Mine was active in less than 48 hours. No receipt/email or notification. It was just working on my way home from work one day.

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    I certainly can’t give any stats, but I would surmise it does increase the resale value, and I would say it does so at probably close to 100% of the price of AP at the time you sell. When I was shopping for a used model s, those with AP were generally priced higher than comparable vehicles...

    I Bought AP and FSD for $5k Today

    I bought AP and FSD for $5k today. Obviously I originally passed it up when I took delivery. I was on the fence about EAP, but decided it was too expensive. FSD always seemed like a prayer to me, so that was never on the cards (except I figured I could always add it if/when it was released...

    Connecticut (Mt. Kisco) AWD delivery

    Got a text tonight scheduling an appointment for Saturday, but no VIN. I think I need the VIN to add my CU to the insurance, to get the check, to pay for the car; so this is a bit of a chicken and egg problem. I called the delivery rep. who was really pleasant and honest. He told me they’re...

    Connecticut (Mt. Kisco) AWD delivery

    Long time lurker, growing antsy watching all the AWD w/reservation fill in around me on the tracker. I too didn’t order EAP/FSD, so I figure Elon is waiting until September 30th to list my car as in transit but not delivered. I’m comforted to see I’m not the only one, just hope we get the CHEAPR...
