This does not surprise me as resting your hand on the top does not apply any rotational pressure. But, I was playing with this issue the other day and tried something new. I crossed one leg over the other to the point where the wheel was touching my leg. The normal lane adjustments by the car...

I do not have an S but as a test, go into the menu and put the car into auto steer mode, that is do not run the car with FSD. Now try engaging auto steer and see if the right scroll button moving it left or right changes your follow distance.

Got to ask the obvious question, did you reboot the car (press and hold both scroll wheels until the screen turns black)?

Sentry is not enabled unless the car is parked and you have enabled Sentry Mode. You need to review Dashcam mode, from the manual: Enable Dashcam by touching Controls > Dashcam. Dashcam allows you to choose how and when footage is saved. You can choose between: Auto: Dashcam automatically...

A they hit you with $330 of “diagnostic” fees! Such a rip-off.

Also, unless the other tires were still fairly new, replacing only one tire can causes problems, which is why it is not recommended.

Turn on your cameras when driving and you will see it is. Note that not everyone is tricked by this illusion since over time we automatically adjust. Note also that the new software does not always keep the car centered for a variety of reasons, such as when passing cars it moves off-center away...

No reason to check the app at all, but if you must go ahead. Also no need to reboot the car. With the items you noted switched off you will only lose about 1% / week, so relax. Personally, I would not bother to turn Sentry on and off at night as that will cost you about 3% / day, or more if...

Is this meant for me? I understand very well how the DashCam system works.

You have to open the DashCam console, if it is there it will be at the top. Disagree, I have in fact done this. In fairness I did this when I owned a Model S, so it may no longer be an option. In any case, my advice is only for the OP to have a look. If it is there, great! If not nothing is lost.

A couple of points: They are not called Chargers, they are Connectors You did not indicate if you are talking about the Mobile Connector or the Wall connector In the case of the wall connector you will want to get it before the car so it can be installed and ready to use when the car shows...

It may in fact be there, just not on the SD card. If the car detects an accident it can save the video to internal memory instead of the SD card. Insert the SD card and with the car in park open the DashCam console. Look at the top (I believe) and note if there is an entry with a download icon...

Never heard of a magnet in them for collecting metal. Bags are specifically designed to solve moisture problems associated with air conditioning (AC) and refrigeration systems. The people are SCs often have no idea what they are talking about so don’t take what they have to say as fact, unless...

Found this discussion: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/maximum-number-of-audio-tracks-on-usb-drive.157780/

Make sure you are using the Blue USB port as this is a USB 3.0 port I would try checking the drive on your computer. Maybe it needs to be defragged or has bad sectors that need to be addressed. In the end, 30,000 mp3 files may just be too much.

Probably a GPS lock issue, especially as the car is in your garage.

Neat! When you get tires from Discount Tire you get free rotation and balance for life, does Costco include that?

First make sure the car is unlocked when you attempt to insert it, you should also see a white Tesla logo when the charge port door is open. Inspect the plug and the connection on the car, use a flashlight. Look for any dirt and bent pins. If you are using an adapter, check both sides of that as...

Point to consider, have you ever noticed when you tell the garage to close it pauses for about 7-seconds while it flashes a white light and makes a loud sound (if you have not removed the speaker) before it initiates a door close? This occurs when the car does not have a good GPS lock / location...

All I can say is anything over 120 lb. exceeds spec but as with all things, your car your choice. I do like the straps @rhumbliner is using and if I were going to exceed the 120 lb. limit I would give those a try. But I would add padding where the straps cross the trunk to avoid scratches (if...

This issue is this is not a vertical weight, it is a weight applied at a distance making it a rotational weight e.g. torque. As @DCGOO noted, this is made much worse by any bump in the road. Image, if you will, a bar extenting from the hitch out to say 10 feet, if then stood on that bar you...

Anything an electrician buys will be marked up to include a profit. If you want to better support the electrician this is a good thing to do, but you can get high qualify materials from Home Depot. There are so many posts of electricians, including ones on Tesla’s list, that clearly did not...

Too many electricians do not understand the requirements for EV, so I applaud you in taking the time to figure it out and to use the electrician for the labor. BTW, I assume you have determined you have the extra capacity to run the wall connector at 48a and also that you have two adjacent...

A couple of reasons I do not use auto close: I want to visually verify the area is clear With auto close there is a tendency to just leave, I always visually verify the door has closed When I back the car out of the garage, such as to move trash cans, I really don’t want it to close

Great! No such specs in my manual, which must now be out of date. Thanks.

Unless this has changed (I went looking for the source but cannot find it, so perhaps this is no longer applicable), the connections in the wall connector are sized for a maximum of #6 wire, so #4 wire will be too large. Thus, you would need to use a bridge in which you connect #4 wire to one...

With four satellites the system can determine a 3-D position, if you have only three you get a 2-D fix which really only works if you know your altitude, this can be used by boats at Sea Level, for example. In all cases the accuracy of the position requires the satellites be in good positions...

I think you missed the point, 6 sats does not guarantee good accuracy since geometry is key, so it very well could be a visibility issue. As to different protocols, that does not matter to the point I was making.

GNSS accuracy is 2 to 10 meters Having 6 sats does not help if the geometry is poor. You need sat locks from different directions. Could also be seeing signal bounces from the buildings which degrades accuracy.

So it sounds like as long as the breaker and terminals are properly rated all is good. Thanks!

See this link, home wire is usually limited to 60C just like NM-B, isn’t it? http://www.cmewire.com/catalog/sec01-bwx/bwx-03-mc-amp.pdf See also https://www.cerrowire.com/products/resources/tables-calculators/ampacity-calculator/

Pretty sure (?) 6/3 or 6/2 MC is limited to 55-amps in a home so it cannot be used for a wall connector if you want to get the full 48-amps out of the wall connector as it needs wire rated at 60-amps. And the problem with #4 wire is the maximum size wire for the connection to the wall connector...

The reality is while you own the car you do NOT own the software, you have a license to “use” so they don’t need your approval...

By the time you add up all the parts needed for the MC, the wall connector is about the same cost. Are you suggesting the MC for a different reason?

This will help but it not the same as the preconditioning the car does prior to reaching a SuperCharger provided it is set as a stop. Best to take the advice offered by @zecar

Every tire manufacturer recommends tires be routinely rotated. Take you car to a good shop, such as Discount Tire, and talk it over with them to see what your options are.

From the manual: “When you disconnect the trailer’s electrical connection, Trailer Mode does not automatically disengage.” So if the light goes out by itself when disconnecting the electrical connection, that is not what is supposed to happen. The Red Light is when the car detects a faulty...

I think a lot of people do not appreciate FSD is an evolving solution, and a very different one at that. Consider the first autopilots in airplanes were nothing more than “wing levers” which could not hold a heading or altitude, it just tried to kept the wings level. Decades later we now have...

And that is a good reason to buy EAP. In my experience, however, IMHO the car does a poor job in handing interchanges and then merging into traffic, unless the interchange is rather basic and traffic is light. Here is Atlanta I found those features useless.

Layoffs, big discounts and now a reduction for FSD, anyone smell Tesla desperation?

This is pretty much what Autosteer, which comes with the car, gives you right now.

change “vehicle access” in the charger my home settings In the app in the My Home section this is under Settings > Vehicle Charging > Access Control

See below, looks like 6-years is the suggested lifespan. https://www.discounttire.com/learn/tire-aging#:~:text=Some%20tire%20experts%20contend%20that,can%20be%20a%20little%20unpredictable.

Almost all of them do, they want to earn your business when it is time to replace tires. If this is your first rotation it is also a good idea to get the tires balanced. They will charge you for that, but then future balancing is free! BTW, please don’t post the same question in multiple forums.

Obviously, it is better if you leave the car in the garage instead. But I assume this is not an option.

Try this: Reboot the car If that does not work, then reboot the phone If that does not work, then uninstall the app and reinstall it.

Open your Tesla app scroll to the bottom, what software version do you have? 2024.?.? Now click on “Release Notes” and see what FSD version you have. If it is 12.3.? you have FSD (supervised). Read the notes.
