    Cleaning outdoor black plastic trim around wheels and bottom of doors?

    This stuff has worked really for me for a similar looking haze on that trim. https://a.co/d/iqz1PWH

    Tesla officially launches Charge On Solar

    I agree, it does seem weird. Unless I’m missing something obvious, that’s how it works currently. I did the usual vehicle reboot to see if it would resolve it, but no luck. Maybe someone else with the feature enabled can report back as to whether or not their car ever sleeps while waiting for...

    Tesla officially launches Charge On Solar

    From what I’m seeing with the current software versions, the car never sleeps while it’s “waiting for solar”. So if you arrive home after the sun has set and you plug in the car, it stays awake all night waiting for the sun to rise. I’m keeping the feature disabled until they fix this.

    FSDb a couple questions

    Instead of picking arguments, try rereading the thread with your brain on. You’re the only one claiming that a tap is sufficient. OP literally said “tap does not seem to do anything”. I was just agreeing with OP’s observation and explained my workaround, which is similar to theirs.

    FSDb a couple questions

    Just because you don’t understand or care about the functional difference doesn’t mean it’s only “arguing semantics.” But do continue using that phrase; it gives adequate warning to the person you’re talking to.

    FSDb a couple questions

    There’s definitely a threshold. Once you’re through the portion FSD is stuck on (which is sometimes quite small) it will definitely continue on its way. But you’re not “signaling to FSD” in the way you are when, for example, you press the turn signal stalk to confirm a lane change in EAP mode...

    FSDb a couple questions

    All nonsense aside, the point I was making was that there doesn’t seem to be a way to signal to FSD that “it’s safe to proceed.” The current best solution is to manually proceed through the intersection with the accelerator (while keeping FSD engaged, if it’s safe to do so).

    FSDb a couple questions

    What I said was “continue to press”, which (upon further thought) I do think of as an action that’s a bit different from a nudge. Since you mentioned it, it does seem similar to an earlier post of yours in which you distinguish a “tap” from “just a little press”, don’t you think?

    FSDb a couple questions

    In my experience, nudging the accelerator doesn’t in any way signal to FSD that it should proceed, however, you can continue to press the accelerator to advance “semi manually” and it won’t disengage FSD (or auto steer). FSD usually takes over accelerating on its own pretty predictably once...

    Cracked roof using roof rack w/ cargo box

    Looks like the rack was mounted to the glass rather than to the bracket beneath the glass. Did you install this or did the service center install it for you? Also, how much weight was loaded into the box? This won’t happen when correctly installed and within the loaded weight spec.

    Slipping in highway during winter - Regenerative driving problem

    Regen is no problem on ice if you understand that taking your foot off the accelerator is functionally equivalent to pressing the brake, in varying degrees based on how much you lift off the accelerator. Nothing “locks” when you use regen braking. If your tires break free, it’s because you’re...

    Recent deliveries: Data connection for front USB?

    For those who have recently taken delivery, did your Model Y come with data-connected USB C ports in the front center console, or are they still installing power-only ports in the console? I was hoping that at some point they would resume putting data ports in more than just the glove box.

    Black or white interior?

    I wish they had a white interior option that included the wood dash. The dash is easy to replace though; anyone know if the matching inserts on the front door trim are easily removable, or would you have to replace the entire door interior panel to swap from white to wood?

    Black or white interior?

    Since I read through this wall of rambling, somewhat incoherent text, I felt entitled to give you a gentle heads up: you have a fundamental misunderstanding of machine learning, AI, and the concept of inference. A decent starting point would be to use “pattern matcher” as an analogy rather than...

    Now Available in Tesla Shop: OEM Model S/3/Y Pet Liner $145

    Mine just arrived. Overall really happy with it, since the fit is perfect. Big improvement over the $40 one I've been using from amazon (it finally wore out after a couple good years of use). One minor annoyance regarding the door protectors: even if you fully insert the clips while the door is...

    Model 3 Windows Tints

    I wonder what specifically an installer should do to prevent this. I’m thinking next week when I drop mine off for a tint install, I’ll just show them this picture and ask if they can make sure it doesn’t happen.

    New Tesla APP 4.x. Released for iOS and Android

    Powerwall charge rate limited to (10kW - home load) during storm watch

    Good idea. Interesting result: when my home use was higher than 10kW yesterday (while storm watch was enabled), not only did the PWs stop charging, they actually covered the demand in excess of 10kW. I’ve had no trouble pulling greater than 10kW from the grid in the past, for example when the...

    Powerwall charge rate limited to (10kW - home load) during storm watch

    Thanks to you both for confirming that 3.3kW per PW is correct. After rechecking the data sheet, I see that line now (max 3.3kW charge from the grid). I will have to figure out why they aren’t pulling a full 10kW in my system.

    Powerwall charge rate limited to (10kW - home load) during storm watch

    I'm trying to figure out why my three Powerwall 2 system is limiting the Powerwall charge rate to 10kW minus the current home load, when charging from the grid during Storm Watch. The three Powerwalls should be able to charge at 15kW continuous. And my home can pull more than 10kW from the grid...

    Repeater camera feeds are mostly useless when turn signal is on at night

    Does anyone else get a lot of glare on the left and right repeater feeds when the turn signal on that side is on, and you’re driving in the dark? For me, the turn signal directly above the camera casts an orange glare over the entire top half of the video. The housings don’t seem to be loose or...

    This definitely isn’t necessary if you understand that regenerative braking is, in fact, a form of braking. Once you’re experienced with the feature, adjust your technique in slick situations as you would with any other type of braking.

    Best way to charge?

    There are technical reasons that the battery charges more slowly from 80 to 100 percent, but “making us stay hooked for more money” is not one of them. In fact, in most states supercharging is charged by the amount of energy you consume (per kWh) and not by the amount of time on the charger. If...
