    Got 2019.8.5 tonight

    Just got 2019.8.5 with improved NOA. Tried it out on I-93 & I-89. I like it. It passes slower vehicles smoothly and moves out of the passing lane after a short time. I’m feeling sad, however. My wife who was with me said she prefers the lane changes of NOA over my decisions made without NOA...

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    I agree with Joe F and find the hands on feedback to be natural. I just got the latest update and am planning to try out the exit feature. I am concerned however about following the exit ramp path. In the previous version of the software when I request a lane change, it may take a while or not...

    Tesla Solar Panels

    I am not sure where you are in your process. In my case, they showed a plan of the panels on the roof and gave the brand (Panasonic 325) which you can look up on the web. They also quoted Solaredge as the inverter brand which is often used. What I don’t know is the mounting system and down...

    Recent Regen Reductions?

    I agree that the regen limits due to low temps seem to be higher. They showed up when I was starting out in 55F weather. I expect limits when temps are below 50F.

    Why Tesla pursued non rain sensor auto-wipers?

    I got the beta auto-wiper update a couple of weeks ago. The auto-wipers work well so far with light rain. They even work in the parking lot, when I go from Park to Drive. I am waiting for a heavy rain to see if they move from intermittent to steady. However, twice now, the wipers come on when...

    Voice Commands

    Does anyone know if the voice system is Tesla's or outsourced to Google, Apple, etc.? I just want to know if upgrades (smarter) voice interfaces could be soon.

    Tesla Navigation poor in Cape Cod

    i am not sure what it is like in other regions of the US but on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, the built in navigation is not worth using. Proposed Routes are slower and less direct than either Apple or Google on the iPhone or the portable Tom Tom device. Cape Cod has many meandering roads allowing...

    Auto lane change "randomly" refusing to work

    I posted a reply to this in another thread on AP2 not available.but this thread is right on. I use auto steering on interstate highways in New England. I also can't lane change sometimes. Thanks for the helpful post about additional info in the binnacle. I will look for it next time. I have...

    Autosteer disabled after 3hrs?

    I have a S75D with AP2 and enjoy using it on interstates. I have had AP "unavailable" a couple of times when it should be there. By putting the car in park, it came back. In the past few days I noticed a new behavior. Lane change when turn signal is active, does not occur some times. It works...

    Question on Regenerative braking

    I have been lurking following this discussion. While the math is interesting I learned in college physics that some problems are best understood with simple principles. If you go up a hill you need work to gain potential energy and coming down potential energy can become kinetic energy. If you...

    New Owner Observations

    Thanks for the links. I will setup some reminders. Maybe Tesla should create reminders for owners.

    New Owner Observations

    Additional info: I have a Tesla wall charger. Without the fob I was able to open the charge port with the charge cable and start charging. I guess this means anyone could could connect you. (Is that like feeding the animals at the zoo?). I will try this at a supercharger.
