    Model y autopilot does not recognize cars when i use blinkers

    I have traded in my model 3 for a model y. Probably one of the bigger mistakes I have made. When I turn on the blinker with a car next to me the screen does not recognize the fact and warn me. Following is an email exchange about it. Me: when I turn my blinkers on while traveling if i want...

    16 vdc inverters

    I notice that to use a power inverter it must now be capable of using 16vdc. Does anyone know of any? I have done a lot of searching on the internet and Amazon but come up zero. Thank you in advance

    New, 2020.40.3

    Received it today. Lots of new features. We took it out for a spin right after the install completed. It is a little smoother now at lights. The problem with reading speed limit signs is still there. It sees some and misses others, but that is expected. The one problem that was not fixed...

    2020.36.10 has some real problems

    I live in a rural area which may cause part of the problem.. The problem, the car does not see some speed signs and seems to post an arbitrary speed limit. Then later will post the speed limit, I think, according to the map software which is wrong a lot here. Traveling down FM116, here the...

    New .36 is interesting

    When I first received it 2 days ago I was very disappointed. It did not do much of what it was supposed to do. But yesterday, it began to see speed limit signs and even slowed my M3 LRDM w/3 down once. Today it started dinging when a stop light turned green. I do not understand how these are...

    I had to use my brakes while on autopilot

    Driving my m3lrdm on fm 2657 in Texas Sunday when I came upon an Amazon delivery van that had just pulled out of a driveway and was blocking the road sideways. I kept waiting for me car to see the van but it did not. I had to hit my brakes hard. I saved the "tape" but do not know how to just...

    Free charging June 30.

    When I bought my 3lrdm I got 5,000 free miles for some reason. Tesla has now told us what we do not use by June 30, we lose. In a little over a year I have used only about 1,000 miles worth out the 19,000 miles I have driven it. When traveling we stay at hotels that offer destination...

    12.1 lane split backward step

    Lane split and convergence was vastly improved in .12 but the car is less sure of itself in 12.1going so far as to show the dreaded red BRAKE. Oh well, two steps forward one step back.

    2020.8.1 lane split and convergence

    I received the new update a few days ago and decided to test out the new firware on our Texas freeway fm116. A normally two lane road with a 75 mph limit and several passing lanes. The test was done at 65 mph on a clear day and dry road. I test at two spots along the road and the car has a...

    2019.40.2.1 no stop sign of stop light recognition

    I have a 2019 M3 long distance dual motor. I downloaded the newest software and finally tested out the stop sign recognition on autopilot at 30mph. Nope it ain't there. I got thru the sign with nothing. I have read other folks have it but I wonder. My test was on flat terrain where I could...

    Bug or hardware problem on 2019.36.2.3

    I received the update on thanksgiving day. The update went thru and I scrolled thru the update notes but did not discover anything new. I then reset the screen as I have had to do on some of the latest updates and my problem began. According to the app on my phone, my car has been rebooting...

    Range of M3awd dual with 2019.36.2.1 at 12,000 miles

    I saw that tesla is now showing a range of 322 miles on their website so I thought that I would fully charge to see what my range is. Tonight it stopped at 304 miles, bummer, lol. I was hoping the new upgrade would add mileage along with power. I drive at a max normally of 70, I am not one to...

    2019.36.2.1 lane split and convergence

    Again I have. taken my M3 DLD out to test on our Texas freeways (one lane each direction at 75mph). I tried both lane split and convergence at 65. The car held flawlessly. No twist of the wheel of dire warnings. A big storm hit just before I could try it at 70 so I will have to wait to check...

    Latest version 2019.32.12.2 is better

    Took it for a ride today to check lane split and convergence. It is now a lot better. Both convergent test were passed with flying colors at 60 mph. The first split went well but the return split caused the car to go over the dotted line but then it recovered by itself after telling for me to...

    New 2019.32.11 quirks?

    I had 2019.32.10.1 but was upgraded to .11. First thing I did was back out and the backup screen showed black with two white lines. I tried to reset the screen but it was no help. I finally remembered to shut the whole system down for three minutes. (Remember to stay in your car if you do...

    New software problems with 2019.32.10.1

    A lot of new features but some definite driving problems popping up. The car does not recognize at least half of the oncoming cars even though they pass about 5 feet from my M3 DLD. Of those it does recognize the screen shows them coming on even though they have just passed. On our country road...

    On coming traffic and at next to me

    Since I got the new v10 software I have noticed that oncoming traffic is a bit of hit and miss and when they do show up they lag the real car in showing me pass it. Does anyone else see that. The oncoming cars are less than 5 feet from me. Also, a car stopped next to me at a light and was not...

    Windshield bubbles

    My M3LD has developed what appears to be bubbles in the glass where bugs have hit. I have washed every week using car wash soap. Today I tried cleaning inside and out with two types of window cleaner and then dish soap which I rinsed off. No matter what I do the bubbles are still there. They...

    Bossier city/Shreveport, LA destination charger

    Just back from Bossier City to pay my dues. Anyway the Horseshoe casino and hotel has 2 tesla and 1 J connector(s) on level 2 of the parking garage next to the elevators. Left 'Nelly' at thinking there were none there but found by accident. Other hotels/casinos may also have them.

    .32 improves lane split and convergence with autopilot

    Tried the new update on our Texas two lane highway, lol. At the first split doing 60, there are some painted lines in black. The car got a little confused at first but settled quickly. Much better than .28. At the convergence it did very well doing 70. On the other way back since there were...

    New update 28.3.1 helps with lane splits

    My M3LR was updated yesterday and I decided to try to see if the lane split problem had been fixed. I guess the answer is yes and no. I live in a rural area. Since this update the car can handle a lane split at 60 instead of 55. It still is a little squirrelly but recovers nicely. Will...

    Beware of your home Wi-Fi goes out

    My Wi-Fi that my M3 LR is connected to went out a little over a week ago. I did not know it for 4 days then got it up and running again. I think it went out when we had a thunder storm. Anyway since then my 2019.24.4 has not been updated even though I turned on the early software update on...

    Using and trusting? Tesla safety systems

    I use all the safety systems of my M3LR I purchased in April 2019. But here is the kicker, I do NOT trust any of them. My philosophy is that I will use any and all features that make me a better driver. I know no system is perfect, and neither am I. I always keep my hand on the wheel even...

    Car into park by itself

    Driving up from Austin over the weekend in the right lane of 183. I had the car in autopilot. But in front of me slows down to make a right turn. I slowed down with him and my model 3 slowed down to a stop as he was turning. My car did not move out again after he turned. I mistakenly pushed...

    Real Problem When A Lane Transitions To 2

    I have noticed that autopilot can not handle driving when a lane expands to 2 lanes to form a passing lane, which happens here a lot in Texas. This is true even if there are markings to lead a car into the slow lane. The car gets squirrelly and the left lane marking gets all messed up. It...

    Latest 16.3 software is great....most of the time

    It is inconsistent in how it reacts on the same stretch. One time when driving with auto pilot I let the wander to the right. The car jerked the car back into the lane. Good work but maybe a little abrupt but hey it worked. The second time, it beeped and ordered me to put my hands on the...

    Road tar

    They applied tar and gravel to our road. I waited 5 days before driving on it in my 2019 m3 white. Even then, I still have some tar that stuck to the sill. Does this car require a special tar remover or one of the tar removers at our local parts store will work. Thank you in advance for your...

    Speed limit problem

    I have a new m3 that has a problem. When I set the speed limit control to 70 then engage auto pilot the max speed is then set to 65 even though the speed limit sign on the screen says 75. I then set the speed limit to 75 over the same stretch of road and the screen shows 70 as max speed. I...

    Model 3 range is really about 220 miles

    I own a tesla m3 long range dual motor and I believe it's actual range is a lot less than 310 miles. Correct me if I am wrong here. I charge my 3 to 90% or about 279 miles according to the guage. This is pretty much the max tesla suggests charging it even on long trips. Interestingly I get...
