    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    My 2020 MY on FSD v11.4.7.3 has very rare phantom braking, except for two places i travel often - one is near an overpass over part of the road that sweeps downhill, I’m sure the car thinks the overpass is in the road; the other are a couple of overhead road signs on steel lattice-like supports...

    Oh no. The Tesla Go Anywhere still shows the SC active; wonder if it will continue once The Spot Closes….. https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/the-spot-diner-restaurant-closing-soon/

    255/45R20 Tires on the 20" Inductions?

    Any issue with rubbing using the 255/45/20 on MY LR, 20” induction wheels? Thinking of replacing OEM Goodyear with M Pilot AS 4.

    What knowledge do we have about best tires for range efficiency and low road noise?

    Does such a fantasic summary exist for MY sizes/brands??

    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    Has anyone heard of, or had, problem with Tesla warranty issue being voided because aftermarket wheels (non-Tesla brand) being installed?

    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    Related question: local SC seems will only install authentic Tesla wheels and OEM replacement tires? Is that the general experience? Is an independent installer needed for aftermarket replacement wheels/tires? Seems odd. Thanks

    Replacement Tires for 19" wheels

    Heading towards replacement of OEM 20” induction wheels and Michelins Sport on long range MY at about 29,000. Tread still marginal, but tired of looking at 4 wheels with curb rash. Any opinion on TSportline vs Martian 19” wheels, and Continental Extreme DWS06?

    Everything wrong with V11 update / user interface.

    Since V11 update, the Cancel button doesnt seem to work, no matter how quickly I touch the Cancel icon. Homelink always opens the garage door. Help

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Still a problem with latest FSD Beta v11.3.4, particularly on blacktop highways on warm sunny days when the “mirage” will cause a sudden braking……I’ve stopped using FSD on those roads. Otherwise, smoother and better onscreen graphics.

    Gone in 60 seconds!!

    The only sure way to see the location while the car is on a carrier or flatbed (ie moving but not driving) is with Sentry Cam, if equipped. Of course that won’t tell you where the car is unless you see signs. I’ve shipped a MY cross country twice, and the car location is always fixed at the last...

    Turn signal screen

    curious, how do you turn the turn signal camera “off” or “on”? In our M3, its “on” for two driver profiles, but “off” for one. Cant find any on/off option. Thanks

    First EV Road Trip 700+ Miles Roundtrip - Some Observations

    Good observations, especially about range and charging. I’ve gone NY-CA-NY several times, including just this month in the MY. Experienced only a few phantom braking, not around semis (there are plenty on the road), but mostly when there’s an overpass ahead that appears to the AP to be an...

    Procedure when FSD beta misbehaves?

    What's the email to report FSD issues? It was in the initial Beta download notes, but cant find it since. Thanks.

    Radar deleted on all new Model Y and Model 3. Is FSD worth it?

    I get crazy phantom braking when on a hilly road with overpass over a low point. As the car comes over the hill down towards the overpass, the radar ”sees” an obstruction and brakes hard. It happens reproducibly on a road I often travel, so I override at those points. Cameras plus AI should be...

    Radar deleted on all new Model Y and Model 3. Is FSD worth it?

    Good question. My MY delivered 6/20 included FSD (when available) and presumably radar and the necessary hardware. Would guess (*total guess*) that these cars eventually have radar disabled and Tesla Vision activated….but then again…..

    Update enables cabin camera for driver monitoring....I guess excluding models S & X?

    Waze, Model Y and Cell phone holder

    A. Stop speeding. B. Use a phone mount and run waze. I use the Jowua Invisibe Foldaway (jowua-life.com). Works great in portrait or landscape, though personally i don’t like Waze.

    Has everyone's streaming audio been spotty lately or is it just me?

    Had the same issue, with streaming not even connecting for long periods, and if it did it would often drop. The FM radio worked, mostly. Scroll button reset didn't help nor did the latest software update 2020.48.10. I scheduled a SC appt, but a tech reached out by msg and eventually sent a...

    Issues with Tesla app on iPhone 12

    No issues with iPhone X and app....another reason to hold off on the iPhone 12. If you havent seen it, and have an Apple watch, check out Watch for Tesla from the app store. Minimal cost and very convenient (and cool). Essentiall all app functions from the watch.

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    It seems that replacement of the Front Controller Gen 3 (shown in an above post) is the definitive fix. The SCs will order that ahead of a service appointment.

    Apple Watch App for Tesla - Thoughts?

    Keyless driving (unlock and remote start using app on Apple Watch only) works great, as long as both car and watch have connectivity. Next update will offer feature to allow enable remote start at same time as unlock, from the Apple Watch app. I use this app all the time, on two Teslas (3 & Y).

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    Also had a few panels adjusted to spec. Also a repeat customer on the sales side (a M3, and a now departed S), but only one SC visit for this issue.

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    @SoundDaTrumpet - where's the SC you're using? The one I use in Mt Kisco, NY was all over this issue, though appointments are scheduled a bit out in the future, based on volume. Good luck.

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    The false Front Trunk warning is fixed by replacement of FRONT CONTROLLER GEN 3 (Part #: 1497317-00-F) and Front Trunk latch.\ The warnings had nothing to do with updates, in my experience. The fix at the SC has resolved the problem.

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    Been having the problem as well. Mobile service replaced the latch assembly which didn’t fix it. Update 2020.32.3 hasn’t changed the alerts, I have a SC appt later this week, where the Front Controller Gen 3 and Front Hinge will be replaced. We’ll see......

    Apple Watch App for Tesla - Thoughts?

    I didn’t even notice that....the MY has 20” induction wheels which are black, so I thought the avatar was just the black wheels. My 3 and S wheels show up fine as avatars. But, no idea how to fix/add real black induction wheels to the avatar . Maybe “wheelless” is the way FSD will work in the...

    Apple Watch App for Tesla - Thoughts?

    Been using the Watch for Tesla app for a few weeks now, with 3 cars on the account....app switches easily between the cars, and offers full functionality for controls...keyless driving, lock/unlock, charging controls and the rest are easy. The UI is clean and easy to customize as a complication...

    FRONT TRUNK SENSOR ISSUE!

    Same issue, not remedied by latch replacement. Now awaiting replacement of VC Front Gen 3, Part #1497317-00F. The possible correlation I have found is with outside temperature...seems a lot more Front Trunk Warnings when its very hot outside, but who knows?

    Quality of new MY's - is it better now?

    My Red MY was picked up a week ago, and seemed quite fine then. Having a mobile visit tomorrow to install Homelink (crazy thats now an option in the TeslaShop) & have the Front Trunk Open issue fixed. Has anyone had this issue by the driver windshield - a gap under the glass and the rubber...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Pretty much the same experience, in a MCU2 upgrade in a 2015 S85D. NO settings were migrated, so it took 15 minutes to do that, but the Slacker and TuneIn favorites did migrate. Go figure. What did NOT migrate, and I didnt realize it until home, was the Tesla app functionality - it recognizes...

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    MCU2 is what they said. Yes nosecone version, pre-facelift. For @2500 it better be MCU2. (An intel upgrade for TegraAP1.0) is what’s been ordered. Not MCU2????

    Quality of new MY's - is it better now?

    Just took delivery of a red MY, white interior, induction 20” wheels, and I spend a good 40 minutes examining it carefully, based on this and other threads of disappointing fit and finish. Mine was built 6/2020 (ordered 6/30. Delivered 7/19) and maybe I’m just lucky but there was one essentially...

    Model Y price reduction

    My Y (ordered 6/30, for delivery 7/19 in NY) will be reduced $2000....you get the $3000 discount if you ask for it, but they charge the new ($8000) FDS option if you order that, so it nets $2000. If you didnt order the FSD, you'd get the full $3000. Better than zero.

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    Getting the MCU upgraded/replaced with MCU2 in a week or so in the 2015 S85D ....the unit definitely showing telltale signs of impending doom (flickering screen, spontaneous reboots, laggy browser); the service tech looked at the log and said it was like 90% done with life expectancy based on...

    Front license plate holder.

    FWIW, the supplied double tape holder fits snug and clean looking on our M3; I’ll use it on the Y when it comes. Hard to see on the avatar, but a MagnaPlate was used on the MS, but they’re no longer in biz. It worked, and secured the plate to the nose with suction cups, which were effective...

    iPhone Music Auto Playing

    Model Y Road Trip Experience

    Thanks for the post. I have a 2015 S85D that I’m likely trading for a Y later this summer, to complement the 3 my wife uses. We’ve taken the S from NY to CA round trip three times in the winter and confirm that the Tesla Nav seems more accurate than Better Route Planner. Last year with about 5%...
