Thanks for the feedback and thoughts everyone. Yes, range mode is off. Today I left climate on for 4 hours (until it auto shuts off) and checking the temp in the garage got it to 40 degrees. Still no charge. So I will be taking the car in tomorrow morning to see what they can help with as...

I have it still on scheduled charge but have been turning on charging from the mobile ap this morning. Yes it’s a stumper.

So figured I would run this by the "experts". Last night I got home with about 60% SoC, plugged into my Nema 14-50 like always (Had my Model S 85D for about 3 years) and went to bed, the car is set to start charging at 11pm and usually finishes each night at about 4am or so. Now I live in...

Looks like this is something in the 2015 builds. Just had this happen to my Oct 2015 build S85D. Of course it happens as I am showing off the car to a couple interested in buying a Tesla and need to take the car of a long road trip next week. Here is hoping that telling the service center to...

There are three parts to a navigation system. The first is the data map. This I believe is pulled from one of the primary Mapping companies. (I assume the same one Google uses, but doesn't have to be. ) this exists only as a vector format (math equation). This is usually cached locally on the...

There are already a million threads that explain why CarPlay/android auto are both impossible and unwanted. The solution is much simpler, Tesla gets periodic updates from Google on its maps (likely with standard updates and then the data stays on each car). They simply need to increase the...

I've seen these comments before but have to admit I don't see the same issues (thankfully). I have now done three cross country trips with my car plus managed to navigate downtown Chicago and the surrounding Chicago-Lamd suburbs all without any Nav related issues. The maps even updated for the...

What the heck is he doing pricing out a 100kw power pack setup? Of course it's over priced at that scale. 100KW, what the heck is he powering at his home a fusion reactor?

I lived right on the boarder of PA and NJ and the number of people who would just stand at the pump and stare at it blankly/confused for dozens of minutes would shock you. Learning any new method of fueling takes some time. My first stop at a super character I had a similar issue but now have...

This is my first car to have leather (if you are going to go big go all the way right?). It is now about a year old and I would like to keep the leather looking as good as possible. Can anyone recommend some products to help moisturize/condition/protect the leather? Also how often should it be...

Well Tesla responded to this so we no longer need to guess. They are doing autonomous testing, just not in Calinfornia so it doesn't need to be reported. They are not disclosing how many miles they have done or where they are testing.

I'm actually pretty confident that AP1 with the radar upgrade would try to stop for this. I've seen the radar pick up objects only a few inches across so even being wicker furniture it would have detected some object. Now if it could stop in time is another question. But it certainly would not...

I don't see anything interesting in this data. It simply shows that Google has a head start...if you didn't know that already you haven't been paying attention. My issue is more that Gooogle hasn't done anything with their development. At this point it is still just a toy to show off with no...

I believe the next major change (as in the thing that causes the bulk of the world to sit up and take notice) is Supercharger V3 comparability. The fact that Tesla is working on Ultrachargers that can charge a car in as little as 5 minutes isn't secret, but unless they have managed to hide some...

It isn't the physical wipers moving when it senses rain that is the problem. It's teaching the AP software to sync it's camera frame rate to the variable speed of the wipers. That prevents the camera from freaking out whenever it gets blocked by the wipers and also teaches the camera to make its...

All in good time. It's a fun ride so just sit back and watch the upgrades change your car for the better.

It sounds like AP2 is just having the same growing pains as AP1. All signs point to the two sets of machine learning data not being comparable with each other so it makes sence that for now AP1 is smarter, but as the miles gain AP2 will improve. I am constantly amazed how much AP changes based...

Working in this exact industry I can tell you that it isn't that easy. The cameras on HW2 aren't in the right direction to capture that portion of the data. At least not without a massively distorted fisheye from what you would want to see. A computer doesn't care how fisheyed or warped an image...

Ah, it did reset it to +0. I usually think of that as just the chime/display warning. Not actually over riding AP. I'll check it next time I'm on the road now that I upped it.

Oddly I am on 2.52.22 and still getting the Autosteer only at speed limit. Did I misunderstand that this was supposed to be back to +5 on non-highways?

I like it, I wish them all the best. If the media is to believed we should have 10-15 EVs being offered in 2018 and that is A-Okay by me.

I'm also in Chicago and my car is struggling a little bit. Went from averaging 330 w/mi up to almost 480 w/mi. I attribute a lot of that to the lack of regen braking when the battery is cold but even with an hour of preheat time the regen doesn't go past half. Yesterday with he 3 degrees was the...

Yea I have lost complete interest in the Teslas in those garages (as beautiful as they all are). I'm more interested in how you guys managed to do that to your garages.

If you call EZ-pass and start the comversation with "Hi, I have a Tesla Model...." They will respond with "We will send out the external transponder, should arrive in 3-4 days."

That kind of makes me sad, obviously I am a huge Tesla fan boy but I really do want to see another EV company succeed, considering the big ICE companies don't seem to be giving this their best shot.

Bump for a beautiful car

$40 for hand wash isn't horrible. I have paid $39 for machine wash with vacuum and spray on wax before...

Honestly I'm not a car guy, many people who know me laughed at me getting a Tesla because before they came along I was pretty outspoken that "It just gets you from point A to B so why spend so much on it?". So if Tesla didn't exist, probably would buy a decent Acura and then spend the other...

Did you see the actual accident? I'm wondering how it happened. As I understand it current collision avoidance is more of a collision severity reduction, it will still allow the crash, but tries to reduce the damage.

All of the vehicles you have listed are great cars and I am really excited to see CPO cars getting into the sub 50s price point (Some will complain about depreciation but I'm not one). Ultimately a lot of this is personal taste. I hate/despise/loathe/detest wood panels in cars....so it's was an...

This is not "The big one" no such thing exists. My business is vision systems and sensor suites for autonomy. Not autonomous vehicles but autonomous robotics. Something simpler than vehicles and while the multiscopic vision tech Tesla just integrated into its cars is very impressive it is NOT...

The problem is not with Tesla but that the only thing we have to compare them to is the rest of the auto industry where change never happens. We are all so use to the idea that if you buy the 2016 model now that even with a body change the 2017 model isn't going to be THAT big of a difference...

No need for the 'T' it's already part of "eight"

Someone with more experience may correct me but I believe it bases its schedule off the calender In your phone, so if you want it to condition the car before your departure time for work you need to add an event to your calendar. Which in your case might be better with your odd schedule. I...

I was just about to say that it looks like range mode is off. I get about 8 miles with range mode on vrs off on my 85D

Thanks, after a little more searching I found the big button that says "Tire sensors" on the settings tab....I must just be blind.

Manually how? I don't see any controls on the MCU for tire sensors.

With winter coming I am buying a new set of wheels so that I can out snow tires on the car. Looking at a few places and it seems TireRack.com has the best selection. So I was planning to buy the wheels there and then get the tires themselves from the same tire place that has always done mine. So...

Didn't Elon confirm a couple months back that the next thing they would be releasing was something to make charging in apartments and street parking easier? Surprised I haven't seen anyone add that to these polls for next weeks event.

Awesome, count me in!

Bookmarked! I had been meaning to ask these very questions!

CarPlay requires an Apple approved MFi verification chip to be installed into the unit in order for CarPlay to work. It's mentioned a few times in this thread. So it would require an MCU upgrade in order to be added.

The problem is that if Tesla announce CarPlay and Android Auto connection today everyone on this forum would be up in arms. CarPlay requires a chip that the MCU does not have, so old cars can't use it. And AndroidAutos spec requirement is beyond the MCUs capability so again, older cars wouldn't...

Only way to get infected is to connect to a malicious wifi connection. Since the car won't connect to wifi without your selecting it I think it's an extremely low risk "hack". At least I'm not in the habit of just connecting to random wifi connections.

Anytime you deal with machine automation the holy grail is to have multiple redundancies of sensor sources and having that from different types of sensors. If you can do something with a vision system, or with a laser scanner doing it with both is better. This just brings up the issue of what to...

Anyone know what causes the homelink to sometimes "Skipping Auto close". It seems to happen to me about 50% of the time. I know it's something I am doing, just no clue what that might be.

My guess is that the geo coded locations already exist to some degree and that they have been building up confirmation % for some time. It doesn't take an update to the car to feed this data to the mothership and then the mothership to run the data to see likelihood of working. The update would...

I do this every night.

My business is in automation sensors so let me try to put some light on this and keep it low technically. Previously the radar functioned as a supllimental sensor to the camera, meaning the camera would make a decision based on the data it received from its CCD and using the advisement of the...

I don't think "classic" owners will be left hanging. The blog post was about AP because that's what is on everyone's mind and Tesla is doing a little bit of damage control ("See we fixed the issue you people keep telling us we need to remove AP about, now get off our backs"). Don't forget that...
