Yikes, same exact problem then, including it being the rear sensors. I guess I'll get back to complaining about it. I just had a subframe bolt fixed (after getting a whole new sway bar...) for creaks, so I'm a bit tired of making the service center visit. Hopefully mobile can handle the bumper...

Curious, however mine still occasionally go on the fritz parking in hot sun for a few hours. Its gotten better, and then worse, with various software releases.

Just poke the mirror with your finger - the drivers side mirror has more play than the passenger side. If you don't adjust it often and don't use tilt for reverse, just jam a small piece of foam into the gap in the housing for the true ghetto workaround :)

I very much factor in the small drift when the regen stops and before the brake cuts out, but it does cause confusion for pedestrians and some cars at stop lights. Kinda do wish it would grab the brake sooner. Cover shouldn't have any catches.

The refresh 2.0 S/X have the new tail light and charge port, which has space for other connectors. Unless there ends up being a large government subsidy to build more combo stations, Tesla is going to keep the TPC connector for the US.

Agreed, also small MCUs execute directly from flash, so losing an update makes no sense. As for parking sensors, I noticed in EPC the sensors are up to RevD and unique to the refresh. I'm going to have to do a controlled experiment with a heat source and then just do a swap on that sensor...

I noticed my car didn’t sleep at all post 2022.12 update until driving it and disconnecting from the charger. It had its nightly deep sleep so will report back if anything actually changes.

Mine still buzzes, maybe it’s fainter. Parking sensors still go out after parking in the sun for awhile. You can still use them by shifting to park and back to drive, but they get blanked out when you move. If you shift to reverse you even get the distance readout to the front when backing out...

Parking sensors failing to work after being in hot sun update: I'm suspecting there are multiple sensor revisions out there, and some software got totally messed up. Speaking with the service center folks, its a known problem ™️ and one of the employees actually also had the same issue. Still...

Same. I had it reoccur with 2022.8.2, so I'm going to whinge into another service ticket :)

Yup! Leaving the car parked in the full sun for an hour+ now leads to a Park Assist Unavailable / Clean sensor code, along with autopilot features limited. Super annoying. I feel like they’re blowing smoke here and, while it can happen, one of my sensors is actually funky in higher temps. Just...

Apparently parking sensors showing not working (yet working if you don’t move) when parked in the sun is a firmware bug. This has to be a first ;) And yes the problem persists on 2022.8.2.

First (!) annoying glitch is starting with my October build as the temperatures are climbing. Leaving the car in full sun for an hour+ leads to "Park Assist Unavailable" starting about 30 seconds into driving the car. I assume one of the sensors faults from being too hot - parking in the shade...

The viewer appears in the app drawer. Only the very first software releases had it omitted from there. Now, the energy app… that hasn’t made an appearance.

I’ve heard of no one getting them mailed, but many reports of service centers having them or the mobile service folks dropping them off. (Mine was delivered with everything but the license plate frame, which the service center had for pickup when I filed the ticket)
