Yes, the problem was fixed with the new steering rack. I have driven on the new rack over 5,000 miles now with no further error messages or issues. I was skeptical that a steering rack could just "go bad", but it apparently did.

I have a Tesla Model 3 steering rack, part number 1044831-99-D that exhibited the following error codes/alerts: APP_w009 Automatic Emergency Braking Disabled DI_a223 Traction Control Disabled GTW_w074 Steering Assist Reduced UI_a020 Steering Assist Reduced DI_a222 Stability Control Disabled...

Certificate should be fixed now, sorry for the delay.

Just some food for thought: Credit card transactions can be argued to be a form of cryptocurrency. Dollars (or francs, pounds, euros, etc. -- any fiat) are not actually being exchanged when a credit card is processed. At the lowest level, encrypted bits and bytes are being sent back and forth...

I have the master passphrase backed up in 4 places, including stamped into a metal plate so it's fireproof. :) Even if I were to lose my offline hardware key, I can set up a new one with the backed-up passphrase and restore all accounts.

@daniel I find none of your arguments convincing, the same as you find mine. We'll simply have to agree to disagree. Rail against cryptocurrency all you want, I will still hold mine on the blockchain.

@daniel, I disagree 100% that "crypto is a scam". No, it's not. Crypto is a currency, like any other. It's a private currency that's not government-backed. This makes it have some risks that a government-backed currency may mitigate. I agree 100% that scammers are the problem, and the...

In the most basic sense, a blockchain has the following characteristics: 1. It is a public record that is 100% transparent that anyone can examine. 2. It is an unalterable record that cannot be changed. 3. It is decentralized and distributed, thus no party can control it or manipulate it for...

I do not subscribe to your opinions here. Additionally, you present a few items as factual that are not. I believe you would benefit from a much closer examination of the currency systems that you believe are highly stable (as an example, the US Dollar). In my opinion, those currency systems...

Those are not my opinions, nor are they most people's, and to imply that anyone who sees benefits to crypto must therefore believe in these opinions is factually wrong and personally insulting.

I understand you have many reasons which are important to you about why crypto is a bad thing. I'm not going to argue, but I will state that yours is not the only valid opinion. I have a few of my own that differ. There are various pieces and parts of the crypto landscape that can and will be...

Every transaction on the blockchain costs you a transaction fee, it would be stupid for investors to move money around and lose a transaction fee every time. This notion is just more speculation from writers who know less than nothing about crypto.

That's true of any safe. It would have to be securely mounted somewhere, as would any other. It's regrettable that there are not more options on the market for secure storage without getting someone to custom design and fabricate something.

Here is a decent choice from Lock Picking Lawyer that he just reviewed today: No electronic weaknesses No physical bypasses Decently heavy construction Disc detainer backup lock, requires special tool and special skill to pick open This should be your minimum for a gun safe.

Use an 18" breaker bar. Put the socket on it and put the assembly on the lug nut with the bar extending to the RIGHT as you're looking at the wheel. Squat down at the end of the breaker bar, interlace your fingers and clasp your hands underneath the end of the breaker bar, and LIFT with your...

It has become actually worth it to route and plan your trips to charge at v3 superchargers and avoid the older ones that only charge at 135-150 kW. In addition to being faster, especially at the low end of the battery, the liquid cooling makes them charge more reliably in high ambient...

Yep, this is the method I use. Works very well.

Did you have any waypoints defined in the navigation trip? I have noticed that if you have waypoints in a trip that's long enough to require supercharging, then all of the charging times are completely incorrect. It seems that in the current software, you can have waypoints, OR you can have a...

The "Charger kW" (lavender) and the "Battery kW" (red) are nearly the same value across the entire graph, so the lavender trace is hidden behind the red trace. Here's the raw data: Date Charging State Battery Level Battery Range Charge Energy Added Charge Rate Charger Voltage Power 9:50:01...

2022 LR X supercharge curve on a v3 supercharger: Did 14% to 79% in 25 minutes, maintained 250kW up to 33% battery, and over 100 kW up to 69% battery.

Don't worry so much about when to charge to 100%, just do it such that the battery doesn't SIT at 100% for very long. I charge to 100% anytime I'm going to do a trip where: 1. There will be at least one supercharger stop somewhere on the round trip. 2. Charging to 100% cuts the number of...

2018 P3D, traded in March 2022. 65,137 miles total while I owned it. Lifetime average 290 Wh/mile. About 2/3rds of the time on 21" Pilot Sport 4 tires, the other 1/3 on 19" Vredestein Quatrac 5s.

Are you sure that once I choose to cancel the FSD subscription that the downgrade won't be back to basic AP? i.e. Tesla's not going to tell me "EAP is no longer available -- you can stay with FSD or cancel and get basic AP" ?

The code base on HW 2.5 and HW 3.0 is different though. This means that even with the same EAP feature set, there are things that work better on the 3.0 HW. As an example, I have a Model 3 with HW 2.5 and EAP feature set, and a new X with HW 3.0 and Basic AP feature set. There is a road near...

I will respectfully disagree with most of that. 1. Benefit: Direct control of your money and how it gets held and transferred. No 3rd parties involved, no counterparty risk. 2. Criminal activity: Criminals have used many "untraceable" stores of value, including cash, gold, and diamonds...

I'm pretty convinced that the software in the refreshed X and S is not completed. They threw it together to get the minimum functionality to ship the vehicle, but there's tons of stuff missing: No instrument panel customization No favorites for any audio sources No energy graph selector in...

Yes, this sounds like motor/inverter noise. If it's objectionable, open a service appointment with Tesla and see if they can identify if there is something abnormal.

It must be noted in any discussion of the power consumption of crypto mining that: 1. The crypto community is well aware of the problems this causes. 2. The structure of many of the crypto blockchains relies on a concept called "proof-of-work". This is the operation that requires massive...

Are you able to record it so we can hear it? It is really quiet? It may be a normal sound made by the motors but that's really difficult to speculate on without actually hearing the sound.

I appreciate the effort that company has gone to in order to provide something that is well-hidden and inconspicuous. However, I must point out that the 3-wheel combination lock is one of the lowest security options they could have picked. This type of combination lock can be opened by a...

I haven't been able to test it on the new refresh, but you can use my site, www.teslawinds.com. There is some additional help with the API keys if you need it in the thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-winds-and-elevation-web-browser-app.71667/

The certificate should now be updated and you should no longer be getting any certificate errors.

We've had very good luck most of the time with the auto-shift in our new X. As far as I can tell, it's basically using the ultrasonics to detect objects around the vehicle, and use that to make a decision as to whether to use drive or reverse. I also think it takes into account what gear you...

If you're getting "BlackVue Restarting" every few minutes, that means that the power wire you're tapped into is not 12V. Tesla has actually CHANGED the voltage on some wires via software updates (I was informed of this by my Dashcam installer), and what was once a 12V switched wire may no...

I received 2022.8.2 on my new X LR about 4 days ago, but the noise cancellation is not in the release notes and I cannot seem to find any other control for it. Where are you seeing it? Edit: Not seeing that the center-yoke horn is available either.

I think what has happened is that you have a combination of the following: 1. Actual below average initial build quality from Tesla in the early years. It's probably up to average now, but the reputation was established early on. 2. An enthusiast community that shares all of their experiences...

This should be fixed, there was an SSL certificate issue on the server that serves the images. Be aware that the Autel sensors discussed in this thread only work on Model S, Model X, and Model 3 vehicles before the latest refresh. (2020 and newer S/X/3, and all model Y vehicles use Bluetooth...

Yes, I registered my LR, and the insurance card says TESLA XPERFORMANCE. I think that might just be the wrong text description, but I don't think they're charging me for the Plaid version. The premium did rise, but not by an amount that would reflect the Plaid version.

Yes, I believe that is correct. My order agreement and loan documents do not include the sales tax anywhere, so I assume I will have to pay it at the DMV. The purchase document that they send us should also include the trade-in value so that we can get the sales tax credit (assuming you traded...

At delivery, you will get a 30-day temporary tag and a vehicle inspection report. Two weeks later, you'll get the registration packet in the mail. Take the registration packet and the vehicle inspection report to the DMV to register the car and get plates + window sticker.

I actually did, LOL. They were all very securely bolted down. 😁

OK, didn't know that. I thought both sizes had inserts available. No biggie. [Removed the picture from the above post].

Picked up X LR, 6 seat, Blue/White, 20", Standard AP today. Vehicle is in very good condition, better than I expected. I found several very minor small issues, but all should be easily fixable. Otherwise, the vehicle is super nice, drives really smooth and quiet. No rattles, squeaks, or...

Delivery day is tomorrow for MX LR, Blue/White, 6 seat, 20", standard AP. Just got a call from Tesla confirming the appointment. Hope everything goes right. Will take the delivery checklist with me, will report back tomorrow night. Thanks for all of the information here, everyone! Haven't...

Hopefully it's something simple like the 12V. Let us know what they find.

Thank you for your support. I do really genuinely hope that my delivery goes well. It will be a big relief, and then I can finally enjoy the car. I hope yours gets delivered soon and that you can enjoy it as well.

Yes, the thread is cathartic and helpful for all of us. I thank everyone for that. I will take you and others at your word that the matrix lights, even in low beam mode, are better. That's good. I have not had any issues with the old lights, but any improvement in anything is always welcome...

I will. I was simply wondering if anyone had any solutions to the issues I'm experiencing, i.e. am I missing something? It does not appear so. Just got back from Carmax. Exact same offer as Tesla ($36,000), and with Carmax, I'd lose $2,250 in tax credit.

I have never owned and will never own a BMW. I don't like them and never have. You're about the third person that says I should just cancel. Kind of surprising, I thought there might be a few more people who would offer counterpoints to my complaints. Really, no one wants to defend Tesla...

There's nothing wrong with the M3P. It's never been in an accident or had any body repair, the paint is nearly flawless (I had PPF on it). It has two very small rock chips in the windshield, and a small amount of curb rash on two of the wheels. It's a 2018 with 66,000 miles. 👍 While that...
