    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    I’m going to get the car this afternoon, so I’ll give that a try. Hoping that it just works, but I have low hopes. :/

    Tesla Repurchase & Is Monthly Payment Refunded??

    Yeah, the whole process took something like 45 days for me. I'm in California which I believe is really consumer-friendly when it comes to Lemon Laws, but in the end, they gave me more than $12,000 ($5,000 down payment and ten months or so of $700/mo. payment) back my 2019 SR+ Model 3. I was...

    Tesla Repurchase & Is Monthly Payment Refunded??

    Mine was. I received a check from Tesla covering my down payment and each monthly payment as well. I was surprised, to say the least.

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    Just getting my 2020 Model Y back for the second time regarding this issue. There's a fairly lengthy message from Service but the gist of it is that this is a firmware issue that's being worked on and will be resolved in Firmware 2024.15. The service tech also indicated that the dash cam will...

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    This is what they did to fix mine, but it stopped working shortly after I left the SC. I’ve tried all the solutions listed here — reformatting, two scroll wheel reset, leaving sentry mode even at home, etc. and nothing has worked. I have another appointment scheduled for the 18th. :/

    what's the subscription FSD rate for people with existing EAP?

    It’s uncool of them but to be fair, I get almost everything I need from EAP at this point. Still not a huge fan of the city street driving on FSD, though that could change in the future.

    Saw a Cybertruck in Person at a Supercharger

    Crazy that now there are two in my neighborhood. And from what I hear, they’re fairly common in LA. Feels surreal to me.

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    Yeah, I tried the reboot several times but it would stop working a drive or two later. I’ll remove excluded locations and see if that works. Thanks!

    2020 MY - TeslaCam Dashcam - USB no longer recognized

    Wow, I’m glad I found this thread though I’m sorry it’s happening to others. I took my car in this morning and they “fixed” it for the dashcam not operating for me. The fix took about an hour, but two drives another I got it back and it was broken again. And for what it’s worth, I’ve been using...

    Managed to get a shot of my Model Y, then a bunch interspersed in the row of cars behind mine.

    When will trial start rolling out?

    Just got my update along with the email/in-app message. Only had time to do a quick drive but it seems better than when I had Beta nine months ago. Eager to try it out a bit more this week:
  13. El joe

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    I’m looking forward to this. I had beta previously but am anxious to see how much of an improvement there is, if any, since v11.

    Lost premium connectivity and Spotify is weirdly broken

    Yup, it was out all day for me. No traffic on maps, no Spotify, nothing.

    High mileage 2015 90D purchase

    You’re looking at a nearly decade-old battery. Any reason you wouldn’t prefer a used Model 3 for just a bit more?

    Deciding Between older Model S or Newer Model 3

    I agree. I’ve had six Teslas and have hardly ever supercharged. Even on most roadtrips I usually charge two to three times and spend maybe $20-30 each time. 99% of my charges take place at home so FUSC is vastly overrated IMO.

    Tesla buyback - Free supercharging, expires May 2026

    They bought my Model 3 back with four unsuccessful attempts to fix my screen. It was a dog to get it done, but they did me right when it was all said and done.

    RWD with EAP vs LR with basic

    I have and love EAP, but mostly because it came with the car when I bought mine used. That said, NOA doesn’t work that well for me, summon is a gimmick (when it works for my 2020), and autopark almost never works. Definitely not worth $6k, so go for the range (and speed) increase in a long range.

    Rivian R2 specs leaked

    Can’t wait. But I do wonder how good these will look in 2026 when (if?) it goes to production.

    From Y to Audi e-tron: a Comparison

    Nice breakdown. I love my Model Y but certainly looked at the Audi as well. The thing that kept me from seriously considering it is the charging network (at the time). That trumps most potential advantages IMO. When Audi moves to NACS, that may be moot but it wasn’t at the time.

    New Model Y Owner!

    Looks amazing! Congrats and welcome!!!

    myQ stopped working this week

    Mine never really worked very well. It was very glitchy and I just let the trial run out without continuing it.

    How can I make my Model Y seats more slipery

    There’s gotta be a ceramic coating you can get for it. I use one from Amazon, but that wears off in a couple of weeks. I’m guessing there’s a more permanent solution out there.

    Is my car performance ?

    Do you have that red underline beneath Dual Motor on your software screen?

    myQ improved?

    Their “support” is brutal. Three months ago, I spent two hours on a call with them as my password wouldn’t reset and they submitted a ticket to escalate my issue, promising they’d get back to me within seven days. I still haven’t heard back from them. I’m glad that happened during the trial...

    Using FSD for 3 months - Is my experience typical?

    Yeah, FSD can be pretty brutal. It’s amazing technology, but probably not ready to be used in beta by so many people. I’ve had it on two separate cars (both times it was already on a car I bought) and got beta with both. Again, it’s amazing what it can do in general, but it can be terrifying...

    Just tinted all my windows on my MYP

    Looks great. I got 20% on my fronts to match the rear stain and I love it. I previously did 5% all the way around on my old 3 and hated it as it was too dark, but 20% is great to me.

    Hertz in the US discontinueing Tesla's from Fleet

    Hard when they don’t really educate renters on using an EV, how to charge, etc. I’ve read too many horror stories.

    Enhanced autopilot worth $6k seems to be useless as summon feature is blocked off

    If you gave EAP, it should be right below the location in your app. If it’s not there, it might be missing:

    Saw a Cybertruck in Person at a Supercharger

    Cybertruck has an additional front camera. I have a 2020 Might as well, and that front camera is lodged in the housing in front of my rearview mirror. Cybertruck has an additional one in front of the bumper. That’s the one I’m hoping people will use to spot objects in front of the car that they...

    Saw a Cybertruck in Person at a Supercharger

    Yeah, that front camera is going to be extremely important all around, especially with a vision-only system. :/

    Saw a Cybertruck in Person at a Supercharger

    It’s a Manufacturer plate so I didn’t think it would matter much.

    Saw a Cybertruck in Person at a Supercharger

    I think that was the driver. He was just sort of orbiting the truck, trying to look intimidating. And yeah, I got there just as it pulled up. The crowd followed later, LOL!

    Saw a Cybertruck in Person at a Supercharger

    That was my initial impression. I’ve watched virtually every video and have seen one drive by in the distance in Lake Tahoe, but up close, it was much smaller than I imagined. Shorter than I envisioned and not as long.

    Saw a Cybertruck in Person at a Supercharger

    Saw a Cybertruck charging at Firebaugh yesterday. First time seeing one up close in person. Pretty amazing and it really draws a crowd. Can’t wait to get one!

    I got this $1,000 discount text for being an early CT reservation holder

    I got this and reserved mine more than a year after the reveal. Makes me think all reservation holders got it, “early” or not.

    Not Available 2023 Model Y MSM, White interior and 20" wheels - $46k

    Is that a glitch where it looks like the price is crossed-out and then replaced with the same price?

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Just got my retrofit completed on my 2020 Model Y. Cost $313 to have it done and the tech came and Mobile Service completed it in about 20 minutes. Super quick and simple.

    Supercharger - Dixon, CA (LIVE 15 Dec 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    This seems to be the only way. If you’re a paid subscriber. 🙄

    Iphone 15 Pro Max case that allows Tesla wireless charging?

    Curious, too. I’m in the same boat and have to take my case off every time I want to charge with the wireless pad.

    Retro-fitting HEPA filter in Model Y

    Just ordered mine for 12/6. Great deal IMO — $330 for the filters, retrofit and mobile service.
