    2022.40.4

    From what I’ve read, yes. My car was on the .36. branch when it was announced, and installed beta. Wife’s car was on branch .40. and hasn’t gotten it. I’ve not read a single post from anyone in .40. who has beta…so from other posts it seems it will be another month (?) or so before 11 will be...

    Fantastic, thank you so much!

    2019 Model 3 Performance OEM Wheel Sizes

    This is a quick one. Does anyone know if the wheel size is different (specifically the width) between the front and rear wheels of the 2019 Model 3 Performance? I say absolutely not but just had someone at a wheel/tire store tell me the rears are 5mm wider. I think that's WRONG.

    Waze Perform Like iPhone App On Model 3?

    Agreed. 8-year Waze user and I don’t use anything else. Not sure why anyone would. CarPlay would be nice but as has been said, iPhone on the wireless charger leave little or nothing to be desired.

    36.10 green light chime FSD only?

    I think you're right. But honestly the chime is a minor change - on the surface at least - who knows what else is going on. The car has been seeing lights change for months; all they did was make it chime when it actually happens (I know there's more to it, but that's essentially it). More of...

    Staying On Standard Connectivity?

    Staying on standard here. The traffic display and functionality is awful compared to Waze, so I'm stuck having my phone running that anyway. Have been using the phone as hotspot as others have detailed in previous posts and that works great. I didn't buy the car to impress anyone except my...

    2020.12.5.6: Traffic Light & Stop Sign Control

    Installed yesterday on our black car. White still waiting. Works great! Right out of the box a big issue is that they lowered the speed limit to the actual speed limit, not +5mph like it used to be. The +5mph was bad enough. Needs to be user selectable in a +0-15mph posted limits above 25mph...

    2020.8.1

    20.8.1 updated on mine Thursday. Drove to/from work and seemed fine. Wifey’s updated last night. Don’t really care about the updates in the release notes. Hoping for a change so TACC follows in stop-n-go traffic without lagging so much. Drove 140 miles Friday and might have seen improved...

    Don't try this on the highway... 2020.4.1

    Perhaps. NOA is BETA software, meaning definitely NOT perfect and likely containing bugs. This is a new concept in vehicles that most drivers will be unfamiliar with. When the driver chooses to enable NOA (or Autosteer or TACC for that matter), they acknowledge & accept the risks and...

    Unavailable

    Depending where he is, and possibly parked outside, it’s been below freezing in a lot of the state at night... Sounds abnormal imo.

    Phantom braking is the biggest issue with AutoPilot.

    I’ve got two 2019 M3P’s, both HW3, mine has 8600 miles, wifey about 2200 Just on the last update (both cars on 2020.4.1), mine (black) has experienced a pretty aggressive phantom braking symptom twice. I did not pay attention to the situation specifics other than it was highway and in a slight...

    Will-do...is there a specific FSD team email for that or is it a bug report?

    Thanks!! I just found the Gen 2 manual also. Problem solved!!

    Two HPWCs on 80A Breaker

    <EDIT> Found the Gen 2 installation manual. Says for an 80A breaker, you set the maximum current output to 64A. Thanks everybody!!

    Interesting - sitting in traffic this morning noticed that sometime bus taillights look like traffic lights to the computer...and they do!!!

    Two HPWCs on 80A Breaker

    Hey everyone, sorry for the delay. Couple of things I found when I took the cover off the HPWCs... 1.) They look nothing like the ones in the HPWC installation manual you can download from the Tesla website. There is no set of DIP switches to set like in the manual. My HPWCs have a rotary...

    Two HPWCs on 80A Breaker

    Thanks for the replies!! I'm going to take some photos tonight at home. Quick one that you may not be able to answer - I think I recall the fasteners were something special on the Tesla HPWC, like security Torx? Thanks!! <EDIT> Found the T20 Torx driver in the manual...

    Two HPWCs on 80A Breaker

    My garage installation has two Gen 2 Tesla Wall Connectors sharing an 80A breaker. When only one car is plugged in and charging, I get a maximum of 37mi/hr charge rate. The question to the EE's in the crowd is, does that appear correct? My initial assumption (which seems to be 100% incorrect)...

    Local tire shop says they don't use jack lift pads on our cars

    Exactly what I do too. The other benefit is (at least at Discount Tire) that they generally can get a loose tire/wheel serviced faster than if it was on the car. I got the Reverse Logic jack pads, high quality & I’d recommend them if you don’t want to DIY.

    my mockup of carplay on model 3 display

    +1 doubtful on a full CP implementation, but I’d probably leave it. I would settle for having Waze. But I’m not holding my breath for that either

    Supercharger - Kingman, AZ

    Here's the email to Tesla addresses: [email protected] [email protected] ********************************* Good morning, I am writing to report on the Kingman, Arizona supercharger, built in early 2014. This SC is the primary Supercharger between Phoenix and Las Vegas and...

    Supercharger - Kingman, AZ

    Is that the SC located where old US93 hits the new I-11? They call it the Henderson SC but it's actually 5 or so miles southeast of Henderson. It's approximately another 80 miles past Kingman if you're heading to Vegas from PHX, and I'm fairly certain only a long-range S could make it to the...

    Supercharger - Kingman, AZ

    I just read thru this after talking with my wife about driving up to Vegas and am not excited about the essentially unavoidable Kingman stop. I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere so...is there any conduit for commenting back to Tesla about the Kingman Supercharger problem? Honestly in nearly...

    Well I walked out to the car after work, got in and the first screen looked the same with the car location stuck on home. Then while I was starting up Waze for the drive home, all of a sudden the screen changes to my actual location. The drive home was uneventful and all features worked...

    No garage door opener?

    Yeah this has been discussed ad nauseum in dozens of posts over the last 7 months or so. What is funny is people who can afford to buy a $55K-$70K car complaining about spending $300. It's totally annoying that it's not included, but I understand the business decision behind it. FWIW, I was...

    Is this an OEM spoiler??

    Looks OEM, exactly like both of mine. There’s no rake, as you said. It sticks straight out. It doesn’t have enough surface area to create any meaningful downforce anyway.

    Firmware update question

    It’s best to not get obsessive about the updates. You’ll get them when your number comes up. My wife’s 3 got 40.1.1 yesterday (might have been Thursday) but my car is still on 36.2.3 and there’s nothing I can do to expedite getting the update. I love my 3, without question the best car I’ve...

    Performance 3 0-60 & dragy what are you getting?
