    Rear camera/MCU1 issue since V11

    The rear camera on our early 2017 Model X has started to flicker, like it can't figure out what exposure level it wants to set itself to. MCU reset was no help. I'm concerned it's starting to go bad. What were the model numbers of your old camera and the replacement?

    Suspension corrosion on 2017 Model X

    Good call. I jacked up the car and took the wheel off so I could get at it, and sure enough it's just dirt! Wow, had me fooled from the photos. Weird that it just accumulated on that part and no others. Whelp, false alarm. Good reminder though to check on these parts from time to time.

    Suspension corrosion on 2017 Model X

    I'm the Seattle area, so we occasionally see some road salt maybe once or twice a year but not that much. It's not like I'm in Minnesota or Norway or something. And even in those places, I've never seen anyone post anything like this.

    Suspension corrosion on 2017 Model X

    I was checking on the brake rotors on my 2017 Model X and took a look back behind the rotor and noticed that one of the suspension components, the spindle knuckle I think, is showing a surprising amount of corrosion. It's the same on both driver and passenger side. It looks crusty and shriveled...

    FS: Radio Flyer Model S Kids EV (Seattle / Redmond)

    For sale one much loved and used Radio Flyer Model S. My kids loved this car, but have since outgrown it. It charges and drives well still. Charging cable included. Some scratches from normal use. Pickup in Redmond, WA. Make me an offer.

    Safety Score

    That's nothing. My overall safety score seems to be stuck at 89 because I get dinged for 7% of "hard braking" every time I leave my neighborhood to take the kids to school and later go pick them up. :-/

    Safety Score

    Lol. I wish it was that gradual and slowly sloping at the end. Imagine that but curved, steeper, and ending at a T intersection with a busy 4 lane road.

    Safety Score

    Yeah, that's fair. And I do extend my braking here quite a bit. Just not enough obviously to appease the algorithm. Perhaps the other takeaway here is Autopilot doesn't take into account the grade at all and is far worse than a human under these conditions. Either way, Tesla should use angle...

    Safety Score

    Even if I could keep it to well under the speed limit without getting rear ended by someone else coming down the hill, which is a real concern here, and keep it to say 15mph under constant light braking, when I hit the last part and decelerate from 15mph to 0, even over a loonnnngg protracted...

    Safety Score

    I should have been clearer. It's not the driving down the hill part that I get dinged for. It's the last part at the base of the hill that intersects with a major roadway at a traffic light. That last section is short, steep, 25mph, and comes to hard stop. Even if I go max regen and take it...
