First, have you looked at it closely to see if you can find a nail, or a tire defect? Even the valve core could be leaking. (Soapy water can help find leaks.) Long ago (1973) I had a new Opel GT with slow leaks in at least two tires. Found out it was actually leaking through the metal...

Here are some more pics of the site from Monday. But if you arrive here thinking chargers are up, at least you have a J1772 bailout option - and it's even free the first two hours!

You might also change it to V4 from V3. As far as I can see, that is the only change being made here. The transformer is still 250kw, but all the dispensers are V4. Here is a pic from Monday.

It's still there and still labeled as under construction.

I've been trying to figure out the statistics too. I have 2024.3.25 and FSD 12.3.6. I had subscribed to it for 2 months before 12.3 came out, which may explain why I got it to start with. In looking at the stats (notateslaapp, software updates, pick a version, statistics) for 2024.14.8. and...

I think all the MYP's are made in Fremont, which might be related to also using Panasonic batteries.

Clearly you've never driven in Europe.

Yes, but... Tesla builds cars a bit like airplanes with their intense focus on saving weight. The car comes with floor mats, but they are very thin and just not that satisfying. Many people, myself included, replaced them with aftermarket mats. The new mats I have are kind of a hard...

Well, I'm still in my first year. 2023 MYP. Love it, but I've heard a lot of bad things about stiff suspension in prior years. Mine has the so-called Comfort Suspension, and it seems reasonable - a lot like my Infiniti. My biggest complaint about driving it is that I'd like it to be...

There should be a thread to vote on the best and the worst SC stops.

I took more pics, but I'm not sure they tell us anything new. The cabinet looks to be the same 250kw cabinet from the V3 days, which is typical. It looks like the old stalls were ripped out and new ones put in with just relocation of the dispensers leading to digging and concrete. There is...

I checked out the new V4s today. Doesn't look like much changed except the new dispensers, and new concrete was needed to relocate them to the center of the spots.

I'd put a round, analog clock next to a round, analog speedometer, and then have a round, analog battery gauge to flank the speedo.

What if Tesla eventually adds a 'local learning' feature for FSD to 'learn from local mistakes between major updates'? What exactly would the car 'learn'? I can think of two areas only. One is really you updating the nav system by making different/better lane selections - stuff you know from...

It's not where it gets the power from, it's where it provides it without a wire showing. I would have thought an obvious place would be in the swiveling screen mount accessory. I don't understand why Tesla doesn't have at least a USB socket in there to start with.

Is that just a J1772 connector?

I can confirm. I've hit both stalks at the wrong time for whatever reasons, and all I got was a warning beep. If you are going slow enough and hit Park, it will stop you quickly, but that's at 3 mph or some such.

Talk to your neighbor about wifi as long as you're talking. The car uses 3 methods of wireless communication. Bluetooth is used to a phone for things like unlocking the car when you are close. Wifi is used when available for data transfer, especially large downloads (car software) or perhaps...

I'm in the US where we have NACS, CCS1 and Chademo (Nissan Leaf) connectors, and adapters are a thing. However, my understanding of chargers in Europe is that they are all on the same CCS2 standard. There is no NACS (J3400) connector in Europe to adapt to/from. So ALL Superchargers there...

Let's talk wifi troubleshooting. I've done a lot of it over years as an 'IT Professional'. Why might wifi suddenly fail on your car? Here are some reasons: 1. Someone changed the wifi password - perhaps a new router installed. 2. Wifi antenna damaged (unlikely) 3. Wifi range was marginal...

Perhaps consider that holding the Park button in works as an emergency brake...

I've had my MYP now for 10,500 miles and 9 months. Even though I drive the wide streets of Phoenix, Arizona, I've still managed to curb rash all four wheels within the first few months. I put that down partially to the wide turning circle of the model Y. Haven't hit a curb in a few months...

I've got a radar detector (Uniden R7) sitting on a mag mount on top of the screen in my Model Y. I've swapped out the old 12v cigarette lighter plug for a USB cord, and that works fine. But the wire is a pain. I have it going to a center console accessory, but I'd like it to be hidden. I'm...

Definitely V4 dispensers. Perhaps digging up the concrete is in order to relocate the stalls centrally to the parking spot? (Longer cables enable this.) It's hard to tell, but it looks like there was some digging going on.

I installed a S3XY button Commander yesterday and discovered it gave me statistics on the battery. My 2023 MYP is now 9 months old with 10,500 miles, and degradation is reported as 8.8%. I've long heard to expect it to stabilize at about a 10% loss after a year. Seems right on track for...

Wow, I never even got to see them! Pics would help. This sounds just like the Stapley site, which is still down after months. A working, pretty new, V3 site suddenly ripped out, new trenching & conduit and V4 stalls coming. But very slowly. And without warning. It's just so odd to rip...

All V4s have included MagicDock, so far. I'm glad to see it. I backed into a space at AZ Mills only to realize the Ford Lightning next to me was using the charger. V4's will allow normal parking for all. Still wondering why the exceptionally-long downtime for a V3-to-V4 conversion for a site...

You won't get charged for FSD or start a trial until you install it. Once you get a software update than includes 12.x, your free trial starts whether or not you enable it.

There is more than one software stack for the fleet of vehicles, and once you are in one stack, you tend to be stuck there until a major (spring, or fall, or holiday) update that re-merges all the cars to one common version. The versions never go backwards. You are currently on the same...

Checked again for the first time in a while. Nothing. Seems a pretty fair chance it won't happen since ground isn't broken, and it doesn't look like any work toward this site has been done.

Be wary of "no turn on red" intersections too.

I had two payment methods, with the first being a bank savings account routing link, and the second a credit card. When it came time to pay the bill, it was automatically transferred out of that account electronically. The credit card was, if I remember correctly, used for a down payment...

He showed up in a model 3. Suspect single big jack to lift both wheels up on one side of the car.

I love fsd 12.3.4, as a driver's assist. I use it as much as I can, and I have some normal workarounds for various issues. -For the wheel nag, I just hook one hand on the lower side of the steering wheel and let the weight of my hand take care of the nags. I do lift my hand when the wheel is...

This seems either silly or just stupidly inefficient. I have 10,000 miles on my 2023 MYP, and I wanted to try Tesla mobile service to rotate my tires. So I made a service appt 3 days ago, and this morning a tech showed up to rotate my tires for me. And then he told me I would have to take the...

My impression was that they were the first vehicle to use the 4680 batteries, and as soon as the Cybertruck got into production the 4680's were reserved for them and the model disappeared.

Here you go. From the train to Talkeetna last summer.

That's worth a Youtube video.

I once got laid of from my IT job just before Christmas. I was a 'Novell guy', and they only had upcoming work for Microsoft guys so I got laid off. 24 hours later I got a call that they had found work for me, and I wasn't laid off, and have a nice Christmas. But that 24 hour delay was fatal...

New windshield, of course! The morning I went to pick up my MYP last August, I got a note on my app that a problem had occurred that morning. On the way back from a car wash, my car had picked up a rock chip in the windshield. Tesla would replace it for free (in 2 weeks, when service...

You need to turn on FSD, let it fail in the usual spot, disengage and press the talk button to send a short message to Tesla about it. Once they know about the problem YOU are having, it might get fixed sooner.

Did you happen to notice what the screen showed as the speed limit?

Yes, but the replacement is wireless induction charging. No cables, no connector standards issues, automatic enough for robotaxis.

No, it's running on HW4, though I've heard in HW3 emulation mode. It's working fine on my 2023 MYP with HW4. I use it a lot. Can't wait to see V12 on the highway stack instead of V11.

Can anyone tell what has been done to this site, aside from digging up and replacing something in the ground? In particular, did new transformers replace older ones? It seems like this site just might not have been done right from the start, necessitating starting over. It still seems like...

How about some summaries and impressions of all these SC locations and performance over the years? What's the worst and best experience, the best and worst SC locations, etc?

You'll probably get 12.4, and you'll probably get a free month trial.

Mirrors pointing down in reverse is not unique to Tesla, and it's not about wheels. It's about not running over small children.

Then you get to your destination with 7% left. At this time, the Tesla app doesn't let you specify a minimum charge level at destination arrival. Once you get to your destination, the car 'assumes' you have some charging available to you.

FSD 12.3.5 oddity tonight. I just installed in on my 2023 MYP and ran my usual short test loop. Saw two new things happen, including an oddity. It was mostly the same as 12.3.4 as far as I could tell. It still has lane-change-wiggle. It still stops-creeps-stops at stop signs. However, it...
