    Model X Trunk Load Floor Cover Keeps Falling Off

    The board in my '23 X stays up all by itself. It rubs lightly on the trim at the top, but doesn't mar it because of the covering on the board.

    2024.8.4 doesn't see speed signs anymore

    Actually I have, over the last two weeks. 2023 MX, v12.3.3 (FSD Supervised) included in the 2024.3.10 referenced above. I was delighted to receive/install the update after reading TMC reviews. A few short (25-40 miles) highway trips confirmed that for me personally, I’m still actually more...

    Off topic galore

    @winfield100 for the win! THANKS for posting!! :D :D :D It's been a L O N G time since I spit morning tea all over the keyboard! So worth it . . still chuckling as I soak up the mess.

    2024.8.4 doesn't see speed signs anymore

    No minimum speed signs on most roads in Western Colorado. From two lane highways to four lane divided roads. (US 50) 2024.3.10 seems to use (incorrect) map data. I hit the report button about umpteen times, but now ignore the discrepancy. TACC sees many speed limit signs, but ignores most ...

    Model X Trunk Load Floor Cover Keeps Falling Off

    I picked up an Etsy set for my '23 7 seater after reading this thread last Friday and L O V E it. Elegant solution, easy to install, completely reversable, super functional, wicked quick ship! A+ #1 I tend to keep vehicles a l o n g time (20+ years) so divided out, the seemingly steep...

    The black box is for the Magic Blue Smoke. I hope you didn't open it, because they stopped making the refill kits a while back. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/10622 OK, OK, so I jumped the gun by a day or so. ;) ;) ;)

    Good thing in California your score cant be use for rates. Because while car is in service driving counts too, and my score got destroyed!

    OOF! ...and I was peeved when there was just a moment of unbuckled driving showing on my score during a service appointment a few months back. 99% to 98% 😠 To me, the Unsafe Following seems to be "do what I say, not what I do" with the latest (v12) FSD update.

    Upgrading wifi for Tesla - extender, new router, or both?

    I tried an inexpensive ( $45 ) extender with marginal effect. (10 year old Linksys) Ultimately retuned it and splurged on a Linksys Velop 6 Mesh 3 node Atlas Pro on sale on Amazon for $200. “Last years model?” W A Y more reliable/secure/customizable. W A Y glad I spent the extra $. Wish I...

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    I was wondering the same thing about placement a while back. I convinced myself that they were trying to keep turn signals in the left hand like a traditional lever switch. Old dog/new tricks department again: I managed to cancel the cruise on the 2015 GMC today when I went to signal a left...

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    You forgot the /s ;);) Anything mechanical is more likely to fail than a touch screen. I had the smart switch (signal, cruise, windshield wiper/washer, high-beam, hazards) replaced on a 2000 GMC 2500 PU a year back. . . $250.00 ( ouch!) The switch was "only" $50.00. . . those stealerships...

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    Indeed, to each his own. This “old dog” learned to drive 50 years ago in a “three on the tree” ‘59 Impala, and I’ve owned everything from an 77 MGB to a 2015 GM 2500 pickup. Driven busses and trucks for pay. . . When I picked up my X last January, I waved off any orientation, hopped in and...

    FM Radio Having Issues

    OOF!! ????? My bad. I thought all Model S and Model X cars had at least FM radio . . . some even had AM !!! If you had it at one time, obviously a software update issue/bug. If never, apparently there is a possibility of installing a module/antenna to get Radio Audio. I suppose a module could...

    Colorado is notoriously S L O W for some reason. Many owners (myself included) report having to purchase a second temporary tag. (60 day) $7.00 if I remember correctly. Mildly annoying, but in the grand scheme of things . . . . . . . . still can't get the smile off of my face a year later :)

    How To Keep Rear A/C On

    Odd Indeed. I just went out and checked, and you are right, the above DOESN"T work to keep it running. I had the exact opposite situation, in that I usually don't want it to run.
