Confirmed: the Savannah airport supercharger is being disassembled.

I'll go check it out this weekend.

Tesla indicates that this charger is partially operational today, but I didn't have time to confirm. If nobody beats me to it, I'll test it on 2/6.

Within easy walking distance: DQ (host) Firehouse Subs Publix grocery Seasons of Japan - fast Asian Shane's Rib Shack IHOP Wild Wing Cafe Mellow Mushroom Pizza Starbucks McAlister's Deli ... many other options after crossing a street with traffic. @ChrisC I agree that the traffic on Pooler...

Are you really experienced using FSD? It sounds like you weren't either applying torque to the steering wheel or manipulating the scroll wheels... letting the car know you're there and paying attention. There are some quirks, for sure, but this sounds like you weren't giving the car the right...

I like the part about simple BLE commands to the car for charging-start & charging-stop. I'm somewhat handy with Arduino, and I might give that a try, if I can get an Arduino Giga or Arduino Nano 33 BLE to pair with the car. Any tips on that step? The other part of "excess solar", though, is...

How did you get it to prioritize the PW before charging the car? I thought from what's been said that the only way to do that is to set the PW reserve to 100%... which kind of prevents discharging from the PW unless the grid is down.

This. For those wanting to fill the PW before dumping excess into the car (to avoid exporting at the cheap price that the utility wants to pay), I think someone suggested raising the PW reserve threshold to ensure the PW gets charged up before the car. The problem is that when the PW is below...

It's happening. Somehow, charting the rarity of my car's software... helps maintain my sanity. I'm (still) in the green 10.69.25 group. The straight lines and smooth curves are mesmerizing. FWIW, they seem to be updating 10.69 variants impartially.

You're implying that we know FSD was engaged (or AP, or TACC). We do not.

Can any Walnut Creek locals confirm the exact location is here, northbound, just past the N. Main St. interchange? As a Walnut Creek ex-pat, and intermediate Google Maps user, I'm about 98% confident. An East Bay Times article (sorry, paywall) says it's at the Treat Blvd. exit, but I think...

Not sure what reinvigorated this thread. At any rate, these techniques are well-proven in literature by Dr. W.E. Coyote and the Acme Corporation, et. al.

This is incorrect. TACC/AP/FSD can be engaged with set speed higher than the speed limit with feet on the floor.

Driver was responsible for controlling the vehicle. Stopping from highway speed, in the middle of a lane change, in a dark tunnel... is a pretty despicable move.

Just to kick around the solar trickle charge idea a little. It isn't really feasible to trickle charge a high voltage battery. To do so, you'd need to generate hundreds of DC Volts, and there isn't really a mechanism for a Tesla to DC charge without a Tesla Supercharger (which has...

Adding a few pictures. Note I-95, elevated in the background. This supercharger is tucked behind an Enmarket gas station / convenience store. McDonalds is next door, with KFC & Terra Mia (Italian) across the street, and Taco Bell & Cracker Barrel if you really like crosswalks. Live electrons...

Bucees is a phenomenon. Mind blown. I have no idea how they draw that many people off I-95, but they sure have a lot of business. The rest of Florence is probably giving up customers to Bucees.

I'm not familiar with the app window vent issue. Just a word of caution from neighboring state of Georgia. I used to crack my windows in the summertime (worrying about afternoon thunderstorms). That is, until I found that a wasp had used that opportunity to take up residence. He introduced...

Wow. Thanks for posting. Additional info here.

For those who recently received the Beta: does anyone else feel that after all the sweat and tears we put into maintaining a high Safety Score, that we should be able to score FSD back to Tesla? I certainly wouldn't give it a 99+.

... or... they're only rolling it out to new Beta users in small batches, and many, many people just aren't in the current queue yet.

This is awesome! How can I learn more about this effort? I attempted a lesser version of something like this a while back on auto lane change, but with a sample size of 1.

30% It would be interesting to make this a poll. Ideally I'd like to program it as a function of time of day (night: hours until expected sunlight), forecast cloud cover, season, etc. But when I only have one number to manage, most of the time it's at 30%.

... think you meant either "objectively" or "subjectively". Either way, I would agree. Can't wait to get it. But alas, I have no choice in the matter.

Suggest that someone charging or attempting to charge here should make sure Bucee's is aware of the issue. They have some amount of commitment to this installation, and they can certainly help with the logistics. The other Florence location used pavement striping and cones for some period of...

"Next month"? Was counting on it happening "this weekend". The closer we get, the faster it seems to drift away.

TeslaFi says they're pushing 2022.12.3.2 pretty hard today. Does anyone know if bringing the majority of folks up to the current non-FSD baseline correlates with a pending Beta release (as in late this week)?

Is it possible the FCW isn't always scored as a big deduction anymore? I had one last week, and I was prepared to see it drag down my score. But there was no apparent impact. It was one of those spurious why-the-hell-did-it-flag-that events. Maybe Tesla is starting to weed out the erroneous...

Did I blink and miss the "new camera" requirement? Is this the orange flashing at night with turn signal problem with the side repeaters? Maybe in the first 164 pages of this thread... Can I trouble someone to pass along that reference please?

I wasn't sure how to categorize it, but I thought it was worth mentioning here. Yesterday I noticed a new (non-Tesla) charging installation going in at the Pooler Tanger Outlets near Panda Express. A construction worker told me it was for the Rivian Adventure Network. While early on it was...

If efficiency is a goal (it isn't for everyone), pushing and pulling power from the PWs incurs some roundtrip efficiency penalty. I don't know exactly what it is, but I mentally bookkeep 5-10% loss when going from DC solar, to AC wiring for the PW, to DC storage in the PW. Then on the way back...

What specifically is the question here? I have a work-around for the main feature I'm looking for. What I would like is for the car to charge with excess solar when the Powerwall is full, without drawing any from the grid (at a fixed current level). When I want to do this, I use the "go off...

The TeslaFi page for 2022.4.5.20 shows that (it looks to me) like they're actually bring new folks into the program. Previous FSD Beta loads only indicated 1 or 2 people moving from a non-FSD load to an FSD load, and I assumed that probably just represented people who were simply new to...

I think that when you opt out, you have to wait for some period of time (e.g. next day) until the Safety Score disappears from the app. Then re-enroll. Perhaps you just didn't wait long enough?

I've heard that your safety score isn't dinged while you're on AP. While I can't be sure of that, there are times when AP puts you into a situation where you have to disengage and maneuver aggressively... and for that you may be penalized. That said, if you know of a specific weakness, just...

Unfortunately I think the current answer is "it depends". We may get more clarity over time, and/or Tesla may adopt a more uniform stance. I plan to request new side repeater cameras whenever Tesla has the parts to work my Model 3's rear camera cable recall... but probably only if they don't...

There's a lot of outrage there. Step back a bit. If the contract says one PW, they aren't going to give you a second PW (~$9k value installed?) for free. And the contract probably requires you to pay for the services provided by the contract (which they have probably fulfilled), or else...

My understanding is that they can hook up some circuits to the backup lugs and other ones to the non-backup lugs. With one PW, I would assume that you can't back up all the loads in your house. Looks like you're in Sunnyvale, so perhaps you have a natural gas water heater? Perhaps the air...

When Storm Watch is not active, the PWs charge on solar only. When Storm Watch is active, the PWs rapidly charge from the grid until full. Difficult to imagine such frequent & expensive Storm Watch events that one would intentionally disable it. It's the small price one pays for a good...

I'm wondering this too. I've been working on my Safety Score... having trouble getting it up (don't got there). I'm wondering if I might get access when my 30 day average ticks over 99.0. Maybe they round up and it happens at 98,51? Or maybe they just wait for to upgrade a batch of folks at...

Another Homelink question for the experts. How can I rearrange the new Homelink buttons without reprogramming them from scratch in the proper order? I have dual garage doors. My OCD cannot abide the right door being on the left button & visa versa.

I like the blind spot cameras, even when they flash orange at night. For those thinking about this, does anyone find that the image resides behind their normal hand position on the steering wheel? When I look down to see the camera view, my hand/arm is usually in the way.

I do have two PW2's... the major system components are listed in my signature block. I'm really asking about compatibility between a given panel and its microinverter: the number of cells in a panel and the ability of the micro-inverter to manage that. Not concerned about the number of...

It might just be a matter of expectation. I agree with you that it frequently brakes later and harder than necessary. I worked to increase my tolerance a little. I wait and let the car brake when it needs to, and it almost always slows down before it would become a safety issue. Over time, I...

I'm thinking about adding a third branch to my system. I would be doing most of the work myself, leaving final hookups for a licensed electrician. I'm looking at available microinverters and panels: Enphase IQ-7+, compatible with 60 & 72 cell PV modules, max continuous VA 290 Enphase IQ-7A...

Is there a service bulletin for this? MCU replacement seems like a pretty substantial fix for a very minor problem. I was under the impression that this software-induced issue would be fixed with a software update.

Do we even have the info on the camera upgrade? Old vs. new part numbers or serial numbers, etc.? Even if I could swap it (them?) out, wouldn't there probably some database field that would need to be updated to allow the car to know my hardware is eligible for the FSD beta? So frustrating to...

Drywall is a uniform load distributed over the entire 4x8 (or partial) sheet, with overly redundant attachment across several studs. The moment arm of drywall is 5/16" (half of a 5/8" thickness). The Powerwall essentially puts a 300 lb load (shear and moment) onto exactly 2 studs, each of...

I don't know about basement windows, but when I wanted them to mount mine on the wall of the garage, they made a big deal about how the wall might need to be reinforced to handle the additional load. The installer traveled several hours to get here, and in the interest of keeping things moving...
