Tunein radio would not play as I left my drineway yesterday. This happens now and then when the car switches over from my wifi to LTE. This time, after being on LTE for a few miles I figured that there was a service interruption and not the fault of the car; no big deal. I tried switching over...

Received the update last night. I was surprised to see the trial FSD offer when I started the car today. I must say that the FSD visualization is a definite improvement in and of itself. I believe it adds to safety as I can see more vehicles around me. I actually moved the blind spot camera...

I noticed something new to me today. I was in a funeral procession where all of the participating cars drove with their emergency flashers activated. When cars passed my car on either side, they all turned red on the display; same as when the car detects a hazard. Also, when doing a lane change...

If the battery is fully preheated enroute to a Supercharger, what is the average percentage of time one can expect to save while charging from 20% to 80% ? I know that many factors are involved such as 150 vs 250 vs 300, weather and such.

Sometimes I hear a thunk noise when I close the driver door. I discovered that it was the rear windows dropping down slightly. This behsvior causes no problems. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same. I do remember something similar mentioned in one of the software updates.

Is navigation affected when driving through areas that have poor or no cellular coverage?

I was checking out the destination information feature that was provided on a recent update and noticed that people write reviews and assign stars to rate businesses. I don't see any way to add a review on the map. Do we have that capability?

I noticed that the charge port displays a blue light well before scheduled charging starts. Does that indicate that the car is awake right up until scheduled charging begins?

I notice that during daytime, the blind spot camera images are sometimes hard to decipher due to glare. The small size of these images does not help. I was thinking that since signaling involves only a small amount of time, an option to increase the size of the blind spot image, by using most...

I have been noticing a few stories of cars being struck from behind while driving at highway speeds. Some of these incidents involve fatalities. I personally know of two people who were injured in similar incidents. I was wondering if it would be possible for Tesla to develop a rear collision...

I see NA-2023.20-14566 on TeslaFi

I was just trying out some of the new features in 2023.26.7 and incidentally, I noticed something different about the browser and Sentry playback. In the past, when accessing some websites over my home wifi, the browser would be extremely slow loading a page. Sometimes it would not load the page...

I sometimes go to software to check if an update is available. It usually scans for a few seconds and comes back with 'Your car is up to date' at the date and time it is checked. However, the last couple of days I tried this, there is no scanning for an update and the date and time stays at the...

After one of the browser improvements I noticed that there was a shortcut to one of my bookmarks/favorites on the Tesla Browser home page. I could not figure out how it got there. It worked ok and would bring up the favorite site. The only other thing I could do with the shortcut was to do a...

Occasionaly, I hear about accidents where a driver, unexpliainably, executes a left turn into the path of an oncoming vehicle. I was wondering if the colision warning chime would be set off in a Tesla in that circumstance. Would the car be able to sense that the driver was about to make an...

When I'm watching Sentry clips they go half way and then jump back to the beginning. Takes a few tries to get up to the spot where the triggering event is located. Is this behavior common?

My 22 M3 LR, which is on Update 2023.12.9, just advised me that 2023.12.10 is ready to be installed. I am a bit confused because TeslaFi says that this update is for Full Self Driving Beta Users. I am not a FSD Beta user. I also see that only 1.5% of the cars have received this update. My car...

Noticed that I can advance or go back when playing a song if I press the area under the progress bar and slide back and forth. I can only do this in the small window on the bottom left of the screen. I haven't seen this feature mentioned here.

Not sure what is going on here...

What happens if your car is charging at home and there is a power outage? Will charging resume when the lights come back on?

If I leave the car unplugged for a week, will the car wake up when the main battery tops off the 12 Volt Battery? Or, is that accomplished without waking the car?

We were going out last Saturday morning and before the drive, my wife lowered the sun visor on the passenger side to use the vanity mirror. Fast forward to Wednesday morning; I got up at 4 AM for bathroom visit and on the way, peeked into the pitch black garage to see if the car was finished...

Has anyone noticed if the browser has improved since the latest updates. Mine has been erratic and currently it crashes after a few seconds. I'm still on 2023.2.12

I was testing the WiFi in my 22 M3 LR in a couple of locations and I could not successfully connect due to weak signal strength. My Samsung tablet has no problems connecting at the same locations. Is that typical with these cars or do I have an antenna problem? I have no problem in my garage...

After reading about the new Vision parking assist update and its capabilities, it got me thinking. Since Vision uses the cameras to display warnings about objects near the vehicle, does anyone think that it wouldn't be too difficult for Tesla to enable Vision to detect vehicles in blind spots...

Very quiet here regarding 2023.6.11. Looks like a big push has started over the past few days. Those of us still on 2023.2.12 seem to be stuck. Only those who are up to 6.8 and 6.9 are currently getting 6.11.

I have sketchy computer knowledge but I do understand that there are different operating systems that are used in desk tops, lap tops and phones etc. They are all close enough that I can figure out how to use them after some exploration. However, the Tesla computer/browser is a mystery to me...

I have Google Maps in my browser favorites and whenever I select it, the map comes on and then the keyboard pops up covering half of the map. I have to find and then tap an empty spot on the map to get rid of it. Is there a setting I can activate that will keep the keyboard hidden until I need...

I was out driving my 22 M3 LR in a rain storm a couple of nights ago. I was mainly on back streets doing about 25 - 30 MPH, no Auto Pilot involvement. It was windy and the rain was steady when wipers came on. They were going too fast for my taste and after awhile I switched them to the lowest...

Every so often my M3 gives 3 horn beeps and headlight flashes when I open the driver's door. I figure I probably did something wrong. It happens very infrequently. Does anyone know what this means?

Got a phone notification that 2023.2.10 was ready to install. I installed it with no problems. Usually, I get a notification that an update is available and is ready to download and I have to initiate the downoad. Does the fact that the update downloaded without any action on my part...

I observed a Tesla M3 driver walk up to his car and the headlights flashed when he got near it. My M3 doesn't give me any outside indication that it is detecting the presence of my key fob. It unlocks normally. Do only some of the cars flash the lights or is there a setting I'm unaware of?

I am a novice at this and don't know the basics. Can someone explain how streaming works in these cars? I have a 22 M3 LR with premium connectivity. I'm not blaming the car but I would like to understand the 'mechanics' of streaming so I can better understand any anomalies I come across. Over...

I was trying to slide the cards over from the entertainment to the tire pressures and it didn't move. I slid a little lower over the progress bar of the streamed FM station I was listening to and all of a sudden numbers started appearing that looked like the slider of seconds you see under a...

Just noticed that my key fob will not open the frunk and trunk of my 22 M3. It still manually unlocks the doors and locks the car when walking away. The fob is 1 year old so I put in a new battery; still no luck; iPhone 11 opens both with no problem; any ideas?

Does the M3 have a setting to limit speed / acceleration etc. when a young driver in the household is given use of the car; or is Valet Mode the only option?

I don't know if this has been posted before. The search function is not working for me right now. I came across this while surfing the web. Might be a handy site to have for EV travelers... https://poweroutage.us/

I think I know the answer to this but I figured I would run it by the computer experts on this board. Any explanations would be appreciated. I like learning. Could a program such as CCleaner work in the Tesla browser?

I have been reading that if the car stays awake, it will continue to operate normally. If that is true, if someone was away on a trip and they get a warning about replacing the 12v battery, would keeping the car awake prevent them from being stranded because of a failing 12v battery? I have...

I see that the dashcam viewer has been removed in Hong Kong cars in 2022.40 . I assume this was ordered by Communists who now control Hong Kong. I'm trying to figure out the logic behind this. Due to local regulations, the Dashcam Viewer has been removed. Editor's note: This only affects Hong...

Can anyone explain this new feature in 2022.40 to me? I thought the taillights came on whenever the automatic headlights turned on. "Auto' headlights will now illuminate taillights in addition to the daytime running lights."

I'm just wondering why I don't see cars behind me in the driving visualization unless they are very close. The rear view camera has no problems seeing everything in back of the car..

Does anyone know if there are any instructions on the proper way to remove the Aero wheel cap 2.0 ? I tried prying one off but it is very tight and I am afraid I might break it. Perhaps there is a special tool or a video showing how to do this?

I've been seeing a few articles theorizing about what would happen in a hurricane situation if all of the vehicles in the state were EV's. Some predict that roadways will be clogged with dead cars and stranded motorists. Many of these predictions are made by authors who seem to have little...

When I first got my M3 LR I would charge to 80%. After a while I realized that I was only doing local round trips averaging 12 to 15 miles a day with an occasional 50 mile trip. I decided that I didn't need the whole battery for my purposes so I have been charging to 50% every day. Is there...

I sometimes like to view the current wh/mi number to check the energy efficiency of my driving. The problem is that I have tap 'trips' and that the display takes over the right side of the screen and blocks the map. I was wondering if any of you would think that it would be useful to display...

When I first got my M3 10 months ago the browser would crash after a few minutes. It was useless so I didn't bother with it for awhile. A month or so ago I tried it and it wasn't crashing. In fact it hasn't crashed at all lately. I suspect Tesla may have improved it with one of the recent...

When I start out driving I usually check my tire pressures since it is fairly easy to do but tapping down 2 levels on the screen does distract my driving a little.The pressure is identical for all 4 tires when I start out and if I see one tire 3 or more lbs lower than the others I would assume a...
