    Any way to track location during service?

    Nice find.....this intrigued me, however upon further inspection it is only good for 300 feet away from your device. Nice for in the house, but no way to see the tag from further than that. No different than a Tile.

    Cruise control / Autopilot not available?

    Not exactly similar, but I on delivery my AP/FSD would not work at all. Sometimes it would engage but then stop after 2 minutes, 5, minutes, 20 minutes, never engage, etc. I tried reboots (soft and hard), contact support, etc. Long story short, after one mobile visit and two service center...

    Tesla is NOT an EV

    Apple has the iCar. A stalled (no pun inteded) project by Apple. Apple patent outlines light-up seats and doors for cars

    Enhanced autopilot is scary

    Odd...I am seeing the opposite functionality. I would say that 99% of my 20 miles one way trip (40 each day) are done perfectly. From the moment I engage NOP on the on ramp, to the moment I am getting off the off ramp, it works mostly flawlessly. I have one section that is a construction...

    Unless you are anti Apple, and do not own a Apple Watch but instead a Samsung Gear watch. :-)

    Hatch Open with Foot Wave under bumper

    Yes, it is GPS aware, but I tend not to use GPS if at all possible. In the past (2 years-ish ago) having GPS tasks ate the battery on the phone significantly, because it was constantly polling the GPS network to get location. I used to use it instead of texting when I left work, that it texted...

    Console Info

    Personally, I am not a fan. I like the minimalistic view of the dash as it is. The whole fallacy of taking your eyes off the road to look at the center screen is bogus imo. That said, if one were in the market for such a HUD replacement, I like this one the best, but again not my cup of tea.

    Frunk Unlock Button in phone app

    I would agree. I never (ok..rarely) use my Frunk. I am too scared of denting it when I close it, even though I know how to do so safely. I am gun shy on using my Frunk.

    Hatch Open with Foot Wave under bumper

    +1 plug for Tasker. I do several things with my Tasker app. 15 mins before I leave work, it checks my SOC and my wife's SOC on her car. It then determines who needs the charger when we both get home and sends a text to both of us with the SOC and who should get the 14-50 side of the garage...

    Free Supercharging Miles

    Referral code miles show up in the app on your phone, at the top right corner where the treasure chest is. Not sure as to these miles as I have never heard of someone getting free miles for being a returning customer, but I would imagine they are in the same place.

    "Crackling" Sound From Gemini Wheels

    FWIW, I had it for about 3500 miles. After that, it has gone away. I haven't done anything to them.

    3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

    3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

    I love my white interior. I do notice sometimes that the white glare shows up, but you get used to it and never see it after a while. In fact, I had to look twice at your picture to see what you were referring too. :) Probably the worst glare for me is watching a show in entertainment mode...

    Soft vs Hard Reboot

    Sorry...Missed that part. Soft reboot - press and hold both scroll wheel on steering wheel until Tesla Logo shows up. Hard reboot - Same process but press the brake pedal at the same time, holding all three until logo shows up. Factory Reset - Available through menu, not sure where, but I have...

    Frunk storage bags

    Those are cool looking, but I dont ever use my Frunk. Even though I know how to close it, I am scared to use it in case I put a huge dent into the flimsily aluminum. I'd rather use all my other storage first. Come to think of it though, I do think I have a 50 foot 120v extension cord up...

    Few questions from a new owner

    What @PedramGh is correct. It is not legal in the US to do this. While the kids may like it, as soon as there would be an accident because the driver was watching a movie, it would hit the news outlets and haters faster than a Roadster with Plaid Mode. I would recommend a secondary device in...

    Soft vs Hard Reboot

    When I do a reset, it is usually to try to fix something weird going on. I have only done it a few times, and I dont think ever after an update. When I first got my MY I had a radar issue that was keeping AP/FSD from working. Naturally I thought it was the break in period at first, so I didnt...

    Inductive Phone Charger?

    I have a thin case on my Samsung S10+, my wife have a thicker case on her iPhone 10. I can charge on either side of the charger no problem. If we both charge, I con only charge on the right pad and her iPhone needs to be on the left pad. We have the same experience in her MY as well.

    Plug for Weatherproof Floormats

    I know this isnt anything new, for anyone, but this weekend I was glad I had my weatherproof floormats. After having to stop short, I had a my 22 oz Coke dump over and pop the lid off my drink. I only carry drinks on the floorboard and not the seats, so I am glad that my floormats captured...

    A New Tesla Salutation How to say HELLO

    I also drive an old restored '83 CJ7. The Jeep wave is a thing. My son and I are trying to get it to be a Tesla thing as well. He has a M3, my wife and I both have MYs. When ever we see another Tesla on the road, we give a friendly two finger and thumb wave. I'd say that only 25% of the...

    USB Hub from Jeda and Taptes

    I follow a game that is currently in the Alpha development state. It has been in Alpha for over six years so far. Granted it is a very ambitious project, but one of the jokes surrounding it is that the word "soon" is trademarked by them. :) So everytime someone says "Soon" in a post, they...

    Best android compatible smart watch to control model y

    Probably not the answer you are looking for, but I'll take a stab. I havent tied my Gear watch to my MY yet, but I use a program called Tasker ($3.49 in Play Store) and a Tasker Plug In ($1.99 in Play store) to have my phone do various automated functions with my MY. There is another Tasker...

    Serious ordering issues (4 months in, 1 car payment, no car)

    Not to beat a dead horse, but if you never accepted delivery and signed the paperwork, there SHOULD be no payment due. I think we are all a bit confused as to how you are making a car payment against a vehicle that hasnt been delivered.
  26. SEndicott

    Please pay off your remaining balance prior to delivery

    We have done both processes. When we picked up my MY, in July, I left the balance due on the website and signed over a personal check after I inspected the car. When we bought my wife's MY, she did not have time in her calendar to accept a 9-5 delivery window, so we had to go with the...

    Jeda Hub for Model Y

    I received an email on 8/6 saying..... YOUR ORDER IS SHIPPING! "Hey there! We're sending out a quick note and let you know your order, which features a JEDA USB HUB V2 (our most upgraded hub) is gearing up for shipment. Our team has been adding all cables, accessories, and boxes to them and...

    Navigation without Premium Connectivity

    The trip was pretty good. The car did great. We went from Colorado Springs to Salida, to Grand Junction. We plugged in direct to Supercharger in Poncha Springs (just out side of Salida) and got there no problem. Charged for 15ish minutes and headed off to Grand Junction. Up and over...

    Navigation without Premium Connectivity

    I dont know. I dont think it was doing it in my MY with premium right now. I am going to Grand Junction tonight, and tried it from my car and website Tesla travel planner and it only takes me to Silverthorn instead of through Montrose like I would think it should have done.

    Feature Enhancement Request Portal

    This is the first I have ever seen this site. It looks pretty good on the first glance. I wonder how often/if at all, Elon or other engineering folks look at the site to get ideas from. There are several good ideas there, many of them I have said to myself "It would be nice if......".

    Tesla Cam USB/SD Help

    I agree to the T5. I also bought a 500GB red one (to match my MY :-)) I initially decided to partition it to 2/3 Camera and 1/3 music, but recently made the jump to Spotify Premium, so I decided against using the SSD for music at all. So I deleted the partitions completely, created one...

    Optimal Toll Tag Placement

    Paper bill in the mail. Which is their justification as to the higher rate. They have to process the license plate reads, discover who owns the car through DMV records and generate/send a bill and process it all "manually". In this day and age though, I dont see how that all is not an...

    Optimal Toll Tag Placement

    In Colorado, you are charged differently for license plate reads vs transponders. For example, for one section of part of a loop around Denver (e-470), you are charged $2.70 for a transponder or $4.30 for a license plate.

    Blind spot warning chime

    No, I want it to do what my wife's Subaru does. When there is a car in my blind spot, I have a yellow triangle in the mirror. Then if I try to get over, it beeps and says not to do that. It doesnt bother me (other than the light being on) for every car in the other lane. I think you may have...

    So, I got an old Model S as a loaner ...

    Not sure if it helps, but my experience was that I needed to present a case for needing a loaner. For example, I live 75 miles from the SC. I work 20 miles away from my home and I work for a business where I need to travel between buildings on occasion and needing a car to travel between...

    Spotify only plays the one song?

    I have found that when that happens for me, it is usually the app on phone that fixes it for me. I usually open the app, skip a song or random or something that changes in the app and it then starts working.

    Battery drain is faster than expected or is this normal?

    There are so many factors at play here. Wind, weight in car, weather, temperature, speed, number of people, hills, acceleration, regen, etc. I charge to 75% each night, and after a days of driving 40 miles round trip to work and random daily driving (lunch, walmart runs, etc) I am usually...

    So, I got an old Model S as a loaner ...

    Same for me. I had two MS loaners for recent service. Each one was different (75d and P95D) and "nice" cars, but not $80k+ nice imo. I was actually glad I had them as loaners. It made my appreciate my MY even that much more when I got it back from service. :)

    Help me understand kWh charging = miles for MY

    The "gen 3" connector is for the wall outlet. The gen 3 includes wireless network (well, connecting to your home network as I understand). The $220 is still gen 2 connectors but included the entire pack of nema adapters. You do not need more than the 14-50 unless you have more charging...

    White Carbon Fiber Console and Dash Wrap

    I like it. I too have white and will be doing the same thing but in Matte instead of CF. I am also going to do the armrest in white too. My wife thinks it will be "too much white" but I think it will look great. Seeing the look of yours, I am confident in my choice.

    Best screen protector kit?

    The matte is MUCH better in my opinion. I have white interior and without it, it is practically impossible to watch anything with direct sunlight hitting the seats. With the matte, I barely notice the seats. Admittedly is does cut down on the brightness slightly, but not enough to say it...

    Blind spot warning chime

    As I understand it, it is not what you are thinking it is. It does not trigger until you try to travel into the lane that is blocked in the blind spot. IMO, it is pretty useless because if I am headed into the lane, in my mind I have already committed to getting over and the car will then yell...

    Sentry Mode - Changing the sensitivity

    But sadly, I dont think there is. If there is, I havent found it yet. It will get better though. We used to not have the ability to view in the car, then we didnt have the ability to jump to the even that triggered sentry to record. I think soon we will be able to do much more with it.

    Can I set my destination SOC

    AFAIK, you can use it in car on the Tesla screen via a web browser. But I havent tried it yet. You can have the browser up during a drive, so I am hoping to use it on the Tesla screen. If not, I will use my cell phone.

    Help me understand kWh charging = miles for MY

    I dont think this is correct. I purchased the adapter to allow my mobile charger to use a 14-50 outlet for $35 from the Tesla store directly. I had it in two days. I had my local electrician put in a a Nema 14-50 outlet, 40amp breaker for about $300. So all in all, $335 was my total cost...
