    Full Self-Driving may be degraded Poor weather detected

    not with 2023.27.6. no rain or mist. light overcast, clean windshield and the damn wipers were flapping like a wounded duck and throwing the degraded message until I disabled FSD beta beta after 10 or 15 profanity laced bug reports. It will stay disabled until the next software drop. last...

    Erroneous FCW alerts w/ FSD Beta 10.3?

    Same. Worked on the way out - blowing & standing leaves caused the only real problems. got back in the car to return and autopilot & cruise were unavailable on surface streets but worked on limited access.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Untangle. they sell the software or an appliance. it offers more control that most would want but if you enjoy that sort of thing you can be very specific about what you do and don't allow.

    Pacific Northwest Owners (Seattle, Portland, or towns/cities in the region)

    I was getting $1500+ quotes from standard electricians two years ago. at the time the free charger program washinton had used puget sound solar as a contractor for installs. I called them directly and although they were booked up a cancellation opened a slot. My install was simple...

    Blog Tesla’s FSD Beta 10.2 Coming This Friday

    now this is funny. We have a martini glass flag on the boat that we would fly upside down when threatened with unanticipated sobriety. /s Maybe the official protest to all of this should be to reverse all of the logos on the car to accurately represent the seat at the table you're really...

    Blog Tesla Looking for Good Drivers to Test Full Self-Driving System

    I took a short trip this morning and the only hard brake was on AP for a red light on a down slope, got a .9% penalty for it. Mine were all below 5 mph after regen stops.

    wait, its a small sample set. So those of us that got the series are considered most likely to be playing musical chairs on the commute to work ? :D

    Tesla Model 3 vs. Honda Accord Hybrid

    I had a 2018 Accord hybrid. It was the first vehicle I'd owned with TACC & LCAS. Averaged 47mpg on summer fuel. I loved that car. the comfort, tech & economy reset the bar for what I would own. It wasn't a "fun" car to drive but as a transportation appliance it's hard to beat. I traded...

    TSportline added their logo to all their wheels - voice your disappointment!

    Great product & service. The arachnids look fantastic in low gloss. Nobody else will see the rim badge - except you whenever you are close to it until time ends. I wouldn't buy from them again.

    One Plus 8 Pro phone

    I don't have an 8 pro but I do have a 6t & that works fine. I also have a note 9 with a slim case & it's a press fit into the wireless charge bay (Jeda). Height limited. So if you are phone shopping & intend to use the wireless charger make sure it's going to fit.

    2020 Honda Accord

    I had a 2018 Accord Hybrid. LKAS was best at small adjustments. It was very predictable at what it could and couldn't do so it was easy to learn to spot what you had to handle for it in advance. It would take every exit ramp it passed if it happened to be tracking the right lane line etc...

    No sleeping since update to 2020.12

    I only have a 3 but I also have the same no sleep issue that started the moment 2020.12 was installed. The computer & coolant pump stay on 24x7. The car is also pinging various tesla sites ~15k times per day per my router logs. Remote support looked at it and said that a fix would be in...

    2020.8.2

    Careful what you wish for :) My 3 hasn't slept since it got 2020.12. The computer & coolant pump has been running 24x7 since 3/14. Also it's pinging tesla servers ~15k times per day per my router logs. Remote support says it will be fixed in the next update which will take longer to...

    No sleeping since update to 2020.12

    same issue. no sleep since .12 and something running every time I've checked. sentry is disabled at home & car is always plugged in. Am using teslafi which has worked perfectly until the last update.

    Going from No Cell Coverage to Full Coverage—Not Detected

    This happens very consistently when I park in underground garages deep enough to have no signal and stay for an hour or more. When leaving I won't have any connectivity for ~20 minutes or a reboot.

    Leased a Model 3 but had to relocate for work...now going to exceed the annual mileage by a LOT

    No more wine for me tonight. Simple mistake but I got a solid laugh picturing OP trailering his car back & forth to work each day to keep the miles off. Thanks for that :)

    Thoughts on this look

    I like it. I decided I liked the look of the white arches on the dark background so I didn't do the pillars but I did consider it. That said, everything I own & do is out of style, I do what I want :) This was a 360 flyover that sold me.

    MASTER THREAD: V 2019.40.1.1 170kW charging, Neural Net for Auto Wipers, Auto Lane Change quicker

    I love this ecosystem. 15 minutes ago I get a ping from Teslafi that a new software version was detected and there was release notes already posted here. Happy nerd will now fix another drink & sit in the car for a bit pressing check for update 5 times. (debunked, does nothing but make me...

    Tesla Model 3 Taillight non-OEM replacement on Amazon: would you buy it?

    I did buy aftermarket taillights for my Accord. They had a blackout look & had a sequenced bar for turn signals, very different from OEM. I did it because the look they provided was worth the risk of non-oem parts direct from China. I'd apply the same rules to the Tesla. If something...

    What color vinyl wrap sticker for door handle on white looks best?

    I tried the abstract white ones for a color test. it's close but not an exact match. if I'm focused on it I can always see the difference. But when I forget to look for the color anomaly they blend in pretty well. Oddly enough with some light sources they look like a warmer white than...

    Blindspot monitoring and Lane Departure avoidance errors

    I've gotten this message a few times. Always in the same general area. The road leading to my house is unlined, unlit, no reflectors and the houses are set well back from the road with intervening trees. so far it's always in the dark and overcast or misty when it happens to me. I just...

    Why I cancelled my P3D

    I traded in a gen 10 accord hybrid touring for a model 3. I really liked that car. The Tesla is the only current car I'd give it up for. quick enough, quiet, comfortable & low operating costs. The tech is top notch for it's price point. The only drawback is the audio system. It was the...

    Anyone interested in this HUD for your model 3

    I also pre-ordered one prior to talking delivery of my M3. I had an Accord with a HUD that I loved - with Android auto Waze directions worked with it. I thought I'd really miss it but after 3 days with the Tesla I cancelled the order. Turns out I'm fine without it. I don't really want it...

    Home charging planning

    There are other threads here that discuss the importance of buying a quality 14-50 receptacle. I had already bought a leviton from Home Depot when I read them and ordered a bryant 9450FR (Amazon) . The difference in construction is amazing. The Bryant is going in the wall, the leviton...

    REQUEST TO TESLA: CONTINUE USB MUSIC PLAYBACK ON CAR RESTART

    If you are using a windows pc you might check out Media Monkey gold. it's complicated but very powerful and has the ability to import music & playlists from itunes. it will re-encode a library but I'm finding a need for different formats for different uses. The killer feature for me was the...
