My personal experience, the Tesla maps are about 6-9 months behind Waze for road closures, construction change and exit reconfigurations. I like Waze for the notifications. More than once, I was alerted by Waze of debris on the highway (like truck tire thread). I am on FSD and ready to take...

On I16, from Macon to Savannah, the FSD speed went from 80 mph to 40 mph over 10 times, that is every time there is a panel indicating a minimum speed. As usual, the I-16 traffic was very light, no car on my tail. It is very annoying, it did not happen with the previous software version.

Since I enabled the latest FSD software (version 2023.44.30.25), I am getting unexpected speed change on highway. On I75 and I86 highway (in Georgia), on the side of the road there are panels indicating "Speed Limits 70 mph" and others indicating "Min Speed 40 mph". Every time I pass a panel...

Here is my theory why the Tesla auto wipers (relying on the camera vision) have some issues and will never be as good as cars with a dedicated IR rain sensor. The 2 camera lens are set less than 1" behind the front windshield, they are seeing a very small section of the windshield and are...

The install direction (sideway, upside down) should not matter but if installed outside, and exposed to rain, it may matter. I do not know if the top part of the wall connector is more waterproof than the other sides or not.

Add me to the list for not locking the car at a second home. At the second home, I have to kill the Tesla app on my iPhone before opening the door and exiting the car. This prevent the auto-lock feature.

This is exactly what I suggested in post #5. Looking closely at the picture in this brochure, the wires to the disconnect box are Al and the wires out are Cu...

When we build our house, we asked the electrician to pre-wired for EV charging in the garage. We did have an EV car at that time but all the electrical wiring is copper. In the garage, he installed a service disconnect box, identical to the one for the 2 AC outdoor units. These boxes have screw...

I do have the premium connectivity and Full Self driving. I do not trust the traffic avoidance in the Tesla navigation. Most of the time, I know where I am going but I do not know the real-time traffic ahead. There is currently a lot of highway construction around Atlanta. Everyday I used Waze...

We have a 2020 MYLR FSD beta with 44.6 K miles. We experienced many phantom braking events, too many to count. Recently, the Y brake or slow down when a police car or an emergency vehicle is detected by the car cameras. This happens when the emergency vehicle is on the other side of a divided...

FYI, according the configurator, the ski bag does not fit in my BWM 430i. The width between the two rear seats when the middle one is down is 9 1/2"

BMW and other car companies are using an IR sensor to detect rain on the windshield. Tesla is unique, they use the camera to detect rain in the windshield. The problem, the camera sensor is immediately next to the windshield. It cannot focus on the rain drop. A bug hitting just in front of the...

I had many time the GFCI breaker trip when it was humid and then car charging port was wet from the rain. I sprayed silicon lubricant on the charging connector and the charging port. I removed the excess spray with a paper towel. The silicon spray lubricant does not conduct electricity (better...

Is your 50 Amp breaker a GFI breaker? A GFI breaker has a test push button on it.

Aluminum wires are used for electrical wiring but you have to use an anti-oxidant compound at each connections when exposed to air. Search: "Noalox Anti-Oxidant Coumpound"

Tried my new Tesla CCS1 adapter at a Electrify America station near my house. Took about 1 minute to communicate with the car before starting charging at 73 KW. Arrived at 44% and stopped automatically at 85% (the set charge limit). It was free. I did not precondition the battery as the EA...

Thanks. Just ordered one

I also have two house. At my first location, door stay unlocked by geolocation. For the second house, I kill the Tesla app on my phone before opening the door, then the doors stay unlocked when i get out of the car. I have found a way to enter two locations at which doors stay unlocked.

I painted my white dash trim to black. It is a paint that can be peeled anytime. See post #48: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5044705/

In the video, the Tesla went from 77 mph to 55 mph in about 2 sec

This is today in https://www.nytimes.com/ Video : https://vp.nyt.com/video/2022/08/16/101991_1_tesla-crash-hp-promo_wg_720p.mp4 We had a similar situation with our Model Y. While in Self Driving on I95 in South Carolina, the car braked hard because there was a car stopped on the left grass...

The iPhone facial recognition has an IR illuminator that is used in low light conditions: "The Face ID hardware consists of a sensor with three modules; a dot projector that projects a grid of small infrared dots onto a user's face, a module called the flood illuminator that shines infrared...

When time is up to replace the tires, I am going for tires without the foam liners. The foam gives you a marginal reduction of noise, limits tire choice, tires are more expensive and is harder to repair.

One year ago, I had a small nail in one tire. I went to my nearby Discount Tire and they fixed the tire for free. Three weeks ago, same thing, a small nail in the middle of the thread on another tire. I went again to Discount Tire but this time they told me they stopped fixing tires with foam...

Spec say CCS1 to Tesla MANUFACTURER Charger Man (China) Product Name CCS1 To Tesla Adapter Color Black MAXIMUM CURRENT 120 A OPERATIONAL VOLTAGE 500 V/DC OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE -30 °C to +50 °C DEGREE OF PROTECTION IP54 WARRANTY 6 months

The CCS1 to Tesla connector on Alibaba is rated for a max current of 120A. That is 48 KW with a voltage of 400 V DC

I did drive the Y with the rear hatch open. Car did beep for few minutes and then stopped beeping. This was on a short drive (~1 mile), carrying my paddle board to the beach. I did not try to activate the Auto Pilot.

Same here. It is stupid that we are penalized for remaining of our trip when there are valid reasons (potholes, construction, car stopped on side of road, etc) that we are not centered in the road lane.

What size is your A/C unit. On my 3 tons condenser, label mention a max breaker rating of 30A. A 40A breaker means that you have either a very big condenser or/and it is not efficient. If accessible, you may want to check the label (usually on side of unit), it should list a MIN and a MAX...

Electric bill is less now than it was prior getting and charging a Tesla MYLR. I charge the car between 11PM to 7AM, rate is $0.015 per kWh https://www.georgiapower.com/content/dam/georgia-power/pdfs/electric-service-tariff-pdfs/TOU-PEV-9.pdf

The Tesla map and navigation are out-of-date. Case in point, about 5 months ago, the exit to I16 E from I75 S has changed, exit is now on the right instead of being on the left. Google map and Waze map were updated within days (or hours?) of the change. Tesla map and navigation are still wrong...

Same experience here. The forward collision detection seems to me overly sensitive now

Same thing happened to me this morning, the right door pillar camera is fogged from yesterday rain. This happen every time there is a lot of rain, What is odd, it is always the right door camera that has this problem. Never a problem with the left door camera

The Tesla map are outdated (often the same for traffic). Case in point, in Macon GA, exit to I16 West from I75 South is now on the right side, happened 2 months ago. Previously, it was on the left side. The GA DOT is rebuilding the highway exchange. Waze Maps, Google Maps and Apple Maps are...

Any pictures of the sunroof heat shield? I could not find pictures on heatshield.com

I do the same for the audio but it is not easy to contribute when the phone is on the charging pad, i.e. marking accidents, speed trap, etc. or saying tanks to contributors. It is much easier in my BMW with CarPlay. Phone is either in my pocket for short trip or on the charging pad for long...

Last week I was driving from Atlanta to Savannah GA. The exit to I16 in Macon GA from south I75 used to be on the left. With the newly built highway exchange, it is now on the right. I had the Tesla navigation telling me the exit is on the left but Waze was telling me it is on the right. The...

I have a Uniden R3. I also disabled the K band to avoid false alert from door opener. This is a great radar detector. As for Laser, you have to react very fast. If the laser gun is far, it may take few seconds to get a reading. If it is close, it is about 1 second after getting the alert. This...

That is correct, but this space is filled by a foam gasket. I read about this gap in customers reviews, so i checked and found that both filters are fitting snug

In my car, I had a strong smell every time I started the car. It was getting worse every day. I got a new filter and cleaner. Before cleaning the evaporator, I used my endoscope camera to check it. The bottom of the evaporator had some black stuff, I did not have it tested but I suspect it is...

I used the following air filter (which I think it is superior to Tesla OEM) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YMXFT39/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I used the Kool-It evaporator cleaner: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_7652810?impressionRank=4&keywordInput=kool-it

"CarPlay sucks.. i don't want to plug my phone in everytime i get in the car" CarPlay in my BWM is wireless, even works when my iPhone is in my pocket. The phone connect to CarPlay using WiFi, a much faster connection than Bluetooth. There are many cars with wireless CarPlay...

I have not seen the BioDefense filter. I guess you will not need this mesh screen because the new filter is on the cowl instead of near the evaporator.

I recently got one tire fixed at Discount Tire Direct in Atlanta. The installer just need to get the 4 pucks to jack the car. Available from Amazon, search "Tesla Lifting Jack Pad". I have a set just in case I need to stop at a place that does not have them.

Auto wipers use the windshield cameras to detect the rain. Most other cars (not Tesla) use a dedicated IR moisture sensor (located next to the rear view mirror). In the Y, a bug splash or dirt in front of the cameras will activate the wipers, rain or no rain. One time, I had to deactivate the...

I currently own two BMW. The harsh ride in BMW is from the run-flat tires. After replacing the run-flat to regular tires on the BMWs, ride is good, and better than the Y with 19" tires. Note: my BMW have the regular suspension, not the performance suspension.

Looking good, it should have been there from day 1.

It is floating on top of the plastic air intake tube. When I put back the cowl cover, it is squeezed by the foam and the cowl cover, it is not going anywhere.

Here is what I did. I got a "Metal Black Lock-in Gutter Guard" from Home Depot for $3. I cut it to size to fit the opening, There is enough material to make 2 covers for my 2020 Y. Amerimax Home Products Metal Black Lock-in Gutter Guard-6360X2 - The Home Depot
