    Anyone else having issue with remote climate controls lately?

    No the error is something like “Command failed. Try again’

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    Any chance that the new radar sensors that Tesla is supposedly working on could be used to replace USS in future models?

    Anyone else having issue with remote climate controls lately?

    Been having issues activating climate controls remotely on both my 2018 Model 3 and my GF's 2023 Model Y. For the last few weeks, trying to turn the climate on via the app results in a timeout error. Both cars have been rebooted, apps have been force quit and restarted, everything (cars and...

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    A friend of mine is interested in a Model Y and was asking about our experience with my GFs 2023 version. I brought up what a huge PITA it is to park thanks to the lack of real parking sensors. He went to the Tesla showroom and a rep told him that the updated Y for 2024 (probably the Y version...

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    That should have said “2023 Model Y”…

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    I've got 2018 Model 3 with USS. My girlfriend just bought a 2023 Model 3 without. While the graphics are nicer in her car, the accuracy of the parking distances is noticeably worse and borderline unusable (routinely saying the car is right on the curb when it's more than a foot away). TV is not...

    Pedestal for outdoor wall charger installation

    Getting a Model Y to go with our Model 3 and I’m looking to move our Tesla Wall charger from our garage to an outdoor location closer to the street. (long story) There are a number of metal (aluminum or steel) EV charger pedestals on Amazon but none of them really show how connections work...

    Are winter tires necessary with the long range dual motor AWD?

    If you get regular snow or truly cold weather, get snow tires. https://arstechnica.com/features/2018/03/car-safety-tech-has-never-been-better-but-winter-driving-remains-all-about-tires/

    TeslaTap vs. Lectron Wall Charger to J1772 adapter

    We have a TeslaTap Tesla Wall Charger to J1772 adapter that's stopped working after about 3 years. Causes our wall charger to fault, requiring a reset at the breaker box. I'm looking a replacement and curious if anyone has experience the similar Lectron adapter. It's about $50 cheaper which, on...

    v11 software update SUCKS

    It looks like a recent update now displays a little x on the dash cam icon when it's not reading a drive. So, that's an upgrade. But now I'm realizing how often my combo of a Taptes USB hub and micro USB drive stops working. Have to unplug and replug the drive nearly every drive.

    v11 software update SUCKS

    Exactly. And while you can add the Dashcam to the customizable menu, the icon isn't "live;" it shows a red dot whether the dash cam is working or not.

    v11 software update SUCKS

    To be clear, I was using a 250 gb Sandisk solid state drive that had been recommended on this forum a while back. I'm aware that drives fail, but with the old interface it was easy to see when/whether the dash cam/Sentry mode were operating (or weren't). Now, there's no visible cue.

    v11 software update SUCKS

    Well, today somebody at Home Depot left a deep 2” dent in the side of my car. But thanks to the crappy new v11 interface, there was no obvious cue that the USB drive I use for Sentry mode had recently stopped working, so I have no visual evidence of who might be responsible. (I had previously...

    Poll on V11 interface

    Yep. I was a huge advocate. But I’ve toned it down since the switch to Tesla Vision. This is another setback. Seems like Tesla keeps making it harder to do very basic things that most drivers would expect to be able do without thought or a lot of fiddling.

    Poll on V11 interface

    Yes , unfortunately the only setting seems to be “broil.”
