You can try leaving your card on the console at home and see if it affects sleeping. I would think not. Are you sure it will be left exactly where it needs to be put to get the car to drive? Because leaving it in the cupholders would be a different thing. The car should be reachable if it has...

In software development, concepts related to code repositories are well understood, with Git being a popular one these days. This is where you store your code, it tracks all changes (history) etc. Along with your "main" source tree, you can create as many branches that fork out at any point and...

The "even on manual" is the weird part here. When you enable autopilot, it doesn't matter if you had the wipers on manual, they are going to auto automatically :) . If after that you change them back to manual and they still don't wipe, you have a serious problem that needs resolving ASAP. If on...

You can enter a service ticket but I believe it will get closed with a response in the likes of : we're working on the auto wipers functionality, we know it's got issues. It will be fixed in a future software update. What's random is the auto mode functionality, the "Deep rain AI" or whatever...

It was probably said before but Autopilot systematically sets the wipers to auto as soon as you activate it. You can immediately reset them to another mode if you want. You will need to do this every time. Maybe that's what caught you off guard? Once you know, it's easy (albeit annoying) to...

Screen clean mode will turn the screen off. That plus ac off should feel like the car is off?

I meant: if you get new errors, the old ones will eventually disappear :) but I am not wishing you new errors. I think you just need to let them be and forget them. It's a log, that's its job, remember past problems.

Get new errors? :) Seriously I think this lists the "n" latest errors and there are no clear buttons. Shouldn't cause any harm to leave them there.

Your RWD Model Y has a maximum power of a bit under 300hp if I am not mistaken. Lowering to 200hp makes a difference but it's not that huge indeed. You still get the same torque and HP ramps up until the max so you only feel it at higher speeds.

Sentry uses energy (not miles of range) by keeping the whole computer system and the coolant pumps running so that the cameras work and the computer can analyze video and record. It's been estimated that this consumes 200-250w. That means 1kWh in 4-5h. Your battery contains energy, not miles of...

It's an acceleration mode, not an energy consumption mode, so I don't think so. What Tesla did say is that it might conserve additional energy because it can keep the battery at a lower temp (in winter), scavenging more of its energy to heat the cabin. High power requires a warm battery but when...

Last time I tried that it simply dismissed the message but the car continued preconditioning as I could see with ScanMyTesla. That was more than a year ago so I cannot say with certainly that is hasn't changed...

Why buy a car for the extreme rare case though? There are plenty of companies that rent cars, your can rent one for a weekend instead of driving in a pickup or minivan year round... Probably will cost a lot less too...

I put a picture of my dash in this thread along with a link to the item on Amazon (Canada but it gives an idea) in a post lower down. I'm not saying that a sticker is better, but it should be cheaper and can give a good result if you put the effort in. The clip on will definitely be easier :)...

To each their own... you do this for you, not for resale. I've covered the wood on the dash with "alcantara"-like sticky stuff from Amazon since it was the only wood in the car and I thought it didn't fit. Cheap upgrade but you do need to take your time to make it look good. There are snap-on...

That's a bummer. I don't like noise so I can't use a beep / fart to know my car is locked. Instead I will sometimes open up the mobile app after leaving the car to check that it is properly locked.

The dyno graph I remember seeing a while back (so it could have changed) showed around 200hp peak power whatever the model. That will make a bigger difference in a Performance model than in a RWD...

In your car and in the mobile app you can see the superchargers. However if you are quite far away they might not show them easily. supercharge.info is a great source of information about superchargers. A Better Route Planner (ABRP) can also help plan the trip and show you where it thinks you...

This is the one I bought but there are other options... I does say "alcantara" in the title although I'm sure it's not the official material

separate problem if adjusting brightness doesn'T change anything. Unless you are set to automatic for the brightness, you might need a reboot indeed.

Are you talking about the satellite view (aerial imagery)? Yes, that is part of premium connectivity. The other option is the map view so I guess by "gray screen" that's what you mean? That's not a security issue in itself... Some of us actually prefer the map view while driving :) You can...

The scenario described here also assumes there's absolutely no charging on route to your destination (or back), otherwise you could top up while going or while coming back. It also assumes you cannot even charge on a 120V plug while you're parked. I've done such a trip to a cabin in the woods a...

opening up the louvers and running the fans would be for cooling I believe. That would typically be while supercharging once the battery's toasty, and after to cool the battery back down, or if you cancel the supercharger after the car has done the preconditioning?

Nothing special about your degradation, there are plenty of posts around here that discuss that, I suggest you read them. Car washes with brushes will typically scratch the paint a little bit. It's up to you to decide if you prefer a clean car with scratches or a dirty car. Best is touchless...

The trip meters will show the total energy that was spent while in Drive and the average consumption for those drives. That will help you understand the energy that's required to drive around, do road trips etc. What's not counted is all the energy that's spent the rest of the time: not driving...

I think if you hold it too long in the half press position it will stop blinking as soon as you release. Try not keeping it there too long to see if it helps.

I have covered my wood with an "alcantara" like sticker/cloth that I bought from Amazon, cost me 65$CAD. It takes a bit of patience to stick it properly so it looks good but I think it does a decent job. Looks close enough to the door inserts.

Sentry and Smart Summon are known to keep the car awake, make sure you turn both off -> In the car, not the mobile app. There might be other such settings in the car's configuration... I have a 3 so I can't go and check all the details of the S/X but I know there are differences. EVERY time you...

An actual "opening" shouldn't happen unless you also touched the "vent" button in your mobile app. Windows will readjust a bit when it's cold, and 30F qualifies as cold. That is in case they freeze to the rubber and hit the trim when you open the door. When you get in the car and Drive they...

Pushing the turn signal half way (just long enough...) activates a lane change, which is 3 blinks. A little bit touchy as others say but it works once you get the hang of it. Keeping the turn signal at half point (where you feel the resistance) will blink until you release it. I often use this...

The first thing to check would be the balancing of the wheels+tires. You can get that done at any shop.

There's no "signing out" of subscriptions "in the car" like premium connectivity. Verify if you have the option that tries to keep wifi on turned on. That's for people that share the connection from their cell phone as a hotspot, so it doesn't cut it when you put the car in Drive.

I'm just wondering if anything else might be causing "false touches" that would dismiss it. I'm not sure of anything. Maybe you could try the screen wash mode... I think it shows where you touch?

Is your screen dirty? Do you have a screen cover that's causing some trouble?

It is an appliance, in that you need to do almost no maintenance on it and it still works like new. It is an appliance in that many things are automated (climate, wipers, lights etc) so you only need to put in Drive and go. There are no gears to row through. That could be true of many cars, and...

I believe that popup blocks a part of the navigation window... it would be typical UI behavior that it goes away after a little while. Are you driving when you look at it?

What is the actual problem? Does the AUTO setting never wipe at all? Or are you just saying they don't quite wipe when you would want them to? If it's the latter, welcome to the club. Sometimes auto works perfectly fine and other times it never wipes or wipes hellishly fast when there's almost...

The bluetooth connection to the phone that you see in the car is for media / phone calls, it's separate from the "phone as key" functionality.

When I did that, it screwed up my headlight adjustment, even when touching nothing else. The simple fact of entering the settings menu reset them to some factory setting, or center position, which was not correct. I had to jig up a setup in my garage by following recommendations on headlight...

It might keep the car awake if there's an update available and the car is trying (but failing) to download it? Far fetched but a possibility. Otherwise I agree, and forgetting the network is the best way to try it out.

The only thing that consumes significant energy is the climate. You can simply turn that off.

If the car or the mobile app tells you that an update is available then that is great! The next step is to have the car download it. The car needs a wifi connection. Go in the car's settings and give it a wifi connection, for example your home wifi when you are parked at home. If that doesn't...

You can leave your car in -25C weather and just drive it without doing any conditioning, as I've done a few times and many people around here do often in the winter. The car protects the battery, it greatly reduces the available power until the battery warms, but you can drive the car safely.

Yes, this is normal. All cars are delivered with the version of software that the factory uses, it's never the latest build that is sent to all owners. It typically takes a few weeks before your newly delivered car is added to the list of cars that can receive the newest software. Calling Tesla...

This has happened to me a couple times when I have left my cell phone in my bedroom. The bedroom is adjacent to the garage on the second floor so in "line of sight" the cell phone isn't that far, probably 8 feet max. Normally the car won't even unlock unless the phone is within 2 feet but the...

So which is the built-in behavior then? Hold?

The "drive" is the USB key or drive that you have plugged in your glove box's USB port (for 2021 and up models) or plugged in the center console's front ports (2020 and before). If you don't see recordings for those days in the sentry viewer in the car, there are probably no recordings. If...

When changing tires you're supposed to tell the car. There's an option in the menu. However, if you wrote the correct dimensions here, you have a bizarre setup that has a huge diameter difference. I wouldn't be surprised if this caused problems : 8% difference is huge. For comparison the stock...

you know, to me it doesn't really add much time. I was already stopping every ~2h for someone in the car to pee, or because one of us was hungry etc. It might add a few minutes here or there especially when charging isn't optimal, but it's not a dramatic difference. You just stop where there's...

So my point exactly, the problem is infrastructure (and mindset)
