    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.

    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...

    Purpose of orange caulk-like material around edge of battery shield?

    I bottomed out the passenger side of my vehicle while entering a badly designed parking lot. The scraped/cracked plastic panel that runs along the side under the doors is an easy enough fix (top of this photo), as is the scraped bare metal that was exposed (middle left of this photo). What...

    Trailer hitch bike rack - ultrasonic sensors

    For anyone with the trailer hitch that has tried mounting bikes on the hitch: do the ultrasonic sensors report nearby objects constantly while you’re driving?

    Determining cause of storm watch

    Is there a way in the Tesla app or elsewhere to determine what specifically triggered a storm watch event? The area I’m in has no incoming weather, and although it has been a bit smoky, there are no nearby wild fires. I’m trying to figure out if the storm watch is a mistake, or if Tesla knows...

    Help identifying speaker sound issue (distortion/blowout/software?)

    Hey all. I need some help identifying this sound that my speakers are producing. I can't figure out if it's distortion, a blown speaker, the speakers reaching their limit, poor quality encoding, car firmware glitch, or maybe even a physical rattle/buzz. I've attached two videos that capture it...

    Odd window behavior

    I've observed this behavior on all four windows on my model 3. Occasionally, after rolling the window up, attempting to roll the window back down immediately has no effect (tried both driver button and the button on the door with the behavior). Every time, after waiting 20-30 seconds, the window...

    Door close rattle

    Is it normal for the m3 doors to have a pretty noticeable rattle upon close? (They don’t have a persistent rattle *after* they’ve been closed, it’s just a single rattling noise the moment they’re closed). I’m thinking it’s due to the frameless windows, but I’m not positive. It might be normal...

    Successful roof rack & wheel-on bike rack pairing

    While deciding which roof rack and bike rack combo I should buy, I had some trouble finding definitive recommendations and results. I figured I would post some details and pics of the racks I ended up going with. I highly recommend the Tesla roof rack paired with two Yakima FrontLoader wheel-on...

    How-to: Force clock update

    Not sure if this is widely known (and it might even be in the manual...) but you can force the MCU's clock to update by long pressing the time on the screen. I discovered this after mine was stuck an hour behind for a day or so after returning from a road trip that took me into a different time...

    Specific TACC observation on 28.2

    On 28.2, TACC seems to react to stopped traffic much further in the distance than it previously did. It results in a more natural and gradual deceleration as the car approaches a stationary vehicle. Has anyone else observed this on 28.2, or are you still seeing abrupt braking when you approach...

    Left Auto Lane Change Unavailable On Some Roads

    I’ve noticed an odd issue sometime over the past couple of weeks. When autosteer is engaged on non-highway roads, the lane to the left isn’t recognized as a lane change target. Lane change to the right still works fine. The problem doesn’t exist on controlled access roads with autosteer or...

    TACC/FSD stopping distance calculation in poor conditions.

    Does the current TACC consider slick conditions when determining how soon to start slowing down? Any ideas for how FSD will account for that long term? I’m expecting FSD v1 will handle it by saying “hey it’s slick out, you take over”, similar to how NOA today indicates that it’s limited when it...

    Typical spacing between hood and bumper

    My hood was warped on delivery, so it was recently repaired at a body shop. They fixed the shape perfectly, and left-right alignment is spot-on. But I can't help but notice the front gap between the hood and bumper as I approach the car. I'm having trouble remembering what that gap looked like...
