My tale of recent customer experiences getting work done on our cars. We bought my wife an MKZ from a local Ford/Lincoln dealership that has “Customer for Life” benefits. You get free tire rotation, oil changes, multi-point inspections, etc. And, because it is a Lincoln, free pickup and...

I have an automation that runs every time I arrive at home that sets the charge limit to 60%. It works regardless of why or where I set it higher. Would this work for you?

Rottweiler (with dog mode on)? Armed guard?

I have a iPhone 15 Pro Max and it still has the occasional problem unlocking the door.

You said that one stays in the car and one goes with you. I took that to mean you had one phone that was always in the car for something like data logging, a music player etc. I didn't realize that you meant you sometimes left a phone in your car. I installed the app on my work to use as a...

If the second one stays in the car, why have it listed as a key with the car? I also have two phones with the app installed, and I sometimes leave my work one in the car so I removed it from the car as being a key. I have no problems then.

Found this out last night. If you just touch on the control, it pops up a larger window on the right side of the screen over the display of the overall route.

Tried it on the way home last night and it was broken right from the beginning. It had worked fine when I pulled into work. So I'm done testing it until a new version comes out.

I did remove and re-add for both tests.

Tried it on the way home last night and it worked for about 15 minutes but then it slowly broke. When it switched to sequential it would go to the next channel and then the next jump would be to the next favorite. Eventually it went to all sequential. During this test I was switching a lot...

Don't know because I haven't tested it. I can on the way home tonight. Is this the one where when you push left/right it changes source, not station?

Just installed 2024.14.6 last night and can confirm that Sirius still works.

Just updated from 2024.8.9 to 2024.14.6 last night. Had the car drive me to work this morning. Drive was ok. Problem was the nut behind the wheel, not the computer -- I really need to learn how to interact with it for changing lanes, etc.

Ebay. I'm sure I over paid, but I have one. I didn't want to wait forever or try the Tesla parts counter route which may or may not work. I also should have put new in quotes because it has a current subscription so I'm doubting the new part of it. I'm hoping that the current subscription...

All that proves is that you can't make anything idiot proof because God keeps making better idiots.

Two weeks ago I installed a new 1622932-00-A on my 2021 MY LR. I've been holding off writing about it because I wanted to make sure it was working. Installed it per the directions and put the antenna on the "metal shelf" that @WhiteOnWhiteMY described in SiriusXM on Model Y. After connecting...

I believe this is typical for any third party extended warranty, which mechanical breakdown coverage is. They want to make sure they are not being scammed. The will probably just make sure that Tesla followed their procedures and didn't just start replacing parts to make the problem go away.

After the retrofit, are you still susceptible to the musty smell?

My father in law uses it to get into the car from his walker and the transfer to a wheel chair so it requires upper body strength in that use. My mother uses it to steady herself and she swings her legs in and the pull her self forward once they are in. Hope that additional information helps.

I got a set of these for my father-in-law and my mother to use. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKVTSTN1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

I got 2024.8.7 last night as well. Hoping this holds off my trial until later when I can make better use of it.

There are both great videos. At work I teach an intro to space focused on the work we do and I show this to show orbital altitudes relative to the moon. I'll be adding these video to my pre-work for the class. source (with much higher res pictures) File:Orbitalaltitudes.svg - Wikimedia...

I've noticed it doing this mainly on the first song after I get in the car. The work around I found is to make it play the previous song. This works most of the time. I find it weird that Apple Music can remember what it previously played, but not what is next up.

It's a bug because it is dangerous. The car is deciding on it's own to accelerate in a situation where I'm not expecting it. And I think the solution is simple. In my mind, the code for when the timer expires just blindly sends the command to enable AP. A simple check to see if TACC is...

Found an easily reproducible bug with Continuous Autopilot: Engage autosteer Disengage autosteer by signalling to change lanes and then changing lanes Before Continuous Autopilot reengages autosteer, cancel TACC (pressing on the brake or pushing up on the stalk) Continuous Autopilot will now...

Do it. It can lead to some interesting things. They might find out how cheap it is to charge. I use a TT-30 at my in-laws, and for all 6 times that we have been there, their electric bill has gone DOWN. My mother-in-law thinks it’s hysterical that I bring them electricity every trip.

I‘m assuming you are asking because you turned on the single click activation that bypasses TACC. That’s not what it’s for and the instructions for it tell you to turn that off. How this feature works is that it turns on autosteer some programmable number to seconds after the blinkers turn off...

And an example of why we had the option to ignore threads on this board.

Problem is, the “experts” want something to be idiot proof. They don‘t realize that God keeps making better idiots.

They're not allowed to subsidize ours. However, since it's basically the same as charging at home, I can't complain.

Knowing my company, it can't be a lot. I just looked it up and we have 202 stations spread across 42 sites so maybe we get some type of break. The rate we get charged is the same as what I pay at home (0.13/kWh).

The charging where I work is for employees only. In order to gain access to the chargers we have to have a ChargePoint account and then register it with the company who will tell ChargePoint that we are an allowed user. ChargePoint takes care of everything. Not that hard to manage.

At first I found this funny. Boat hate on a thread about EV hate. Then, the more I thought about it, I think this shows one of the reasons for EV hate. Our consistent need to tell others how to live and what they need or don't need.

Can confirm these do work. I also do not have the overheating problem if I set the phone to only charge to 80%. Even while streaming which always cussed it on my iPhone 12 Pro Max (or whatever the name was for that model).

Brandon Flasch has a pretty good video about how to do this.

If you go this route (V2 instead of V3 and no pun intended either), pay attention to what the nav tells you are the busy times because you may max out at half of the 150kW rate. I was burned by this a couple times when I first started traveling with my MY.

I’ve used the Firestone in Fulton for years with great luck. They installed my current set on my MY a couple years ago and just did a replacement on it this past weekend. They are used to dealing with Teslas (I generally see a them in the parking lot for them when I go the the market that is...

Saw that on my Edge where the sync system would start rebooting, or in their terms "Performing system maintenance" more than normal. Because it was "more than normal" I didn't realize that's what it was doing. After I replaced the 12V, I thought it was the reason, but I still can't be sure.

Wouldn't blowing it up just leave more debris at LEO?

This makes me yearn for the days when I could just hose out my 74 Dodge Dart because it had vinyl floor coverings instead of carpet. Ok, not really.

They did tear out an 8 stall V2 in Greenville, AL and upgrade it to a 12 stall V3.

I'm 6 6'1" and I have had that problem occasionally on different cars. I say occasionally because it depends on where the light is wrt to the stop line. In those instances where I have had this, I just don't pull all the way up to the stop line. It's not required that you pull all the way...

As Road Guy Rob says, read the white sign and then add “or you get a ticket”. Anything happens while not following the yellow signs and “that’s between you and your insurance company”.

Great idea. Several times I've had to run the defrost twice to clear it off.

From First Alert. "Should I put smoke/CO alarms in my unfinished attic, crawlspace, or garage? No. We do not recommend installing smoke or carbon monoxide detectors in unfinished areas of the home. This includes attics, crawlspaces, garages, unheated areas, or porches. The sensors in smoke and...

I use a suction cup as well so I can switch it between cars. This has also proven useful to allow me to switch between EZ Pass and Peach Pass.
