    Future Tesla UI Integrations

    I’m glad we got new features, that weren’t really needed I added a kick sensor to my trunk left on my 2018, but I’m sure this will be a game changer and will never drive you crazy with your trunk opening up I have the Intel Chip, so I guess I am left behind on the immersive environment, Dojo is...

    Make your robotaxi predictions for the 8/8 reveal

    My prediction is on the 8/7 a fleet of about 20,000 of them will leave Austin for a US tour. Free rides for all influencers. He might even add cold air thrusters, cyber mega fart mode, disco lights, CatQuest San Andreas Edition, a Bot will be included in each one to open doors, and handle...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    in summary what I felt happened with my car, which is a 2018 with lead acid, but I don’t think it makes much difference, when the car’s is computer detect a VCFault, it does not try to charge the battery anymore, once a proper voltage has been detected, as well as the plug under the seat, being...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    Just saying, charge the battery, not bypass the BMS or break apart the battery. I have done everything you said. that's how batteries work. The battery is from a newer Tesla and is probably chargeable. the charger is only $70 so I feel it is worth a try and is safe! But I have been accused of...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    What is the big deal about the 16 V battery?. You just need a 16 V battery charger. I posted the link earlier, you can get one from Amazon for $75. It is a battery. The reason they went with 16 V is it’s hard to do 12 V with lithium ion or LFP. The cell combination don’t give you enough overhead...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    I would not be that concerned about how much time you have once you hook up your new 16 V battery or your charged existing battery. I would not run the air conditioning, I really don’t have any idea but I would imagine you probably have eight hours. My 12 V battery only became too low after I...

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    Maybe so, I did not see a big improvement. If I am expecting too much too soon, when would br the proper time to be frustrated with the software. Backwards steps are backwards. The alternative is to focus on driver assistance instead of driver replacement. if they can figure it out, I would much...

    FSD 12 perspective from a previous skeptic

    I tried the latest version Saturday night, it was a clear night, I was picking some one up at the airport, trying to get on 285 it missed interstate and took the frontage road. I did not impress the weary traveler that just flew in from Portugal and just wanted to get home. I am over the...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    Most of the errors seem to be from the low-voltage battery not being fully charged I don’t think there’s any need to disconnect the low-voltage cable Just the plug connector underneath the rear seat. Make sure you have the low-voltage battery fully charged Reconnect the low voltage battery...

    HepaKing Alpine PXE-X121-12EV DSP Review

    I could never get the auto sensing of the Alpine subwoofer amp to work. it would stay powered up when I had it directly powered from underneath the rear seat. Also, my LED lights would not turn off, and sometimes the stereo would continue to play once I’ve locked the car. The Alpine DSP is...

    Tesla Emissions

    This is exactly what I thought AI could do. You would think it would know I’m a couple miles from my house. Garage preconditioning. I’m not saying dojo is smart enough to put out an absorbent mat, but I can’t either. I could just park outside.

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    I did not know you had the newer car with the lithium ion battery. Still nothing really changes, it’s just a battery Here’s an inexpensive charger. You can get on Amazon. Most likely there’s nothing wrong with your LV battery. You just need to charge it. And then to reset it, you need to unplug...

    M3 HV won’t charge [car bought at auction]

    Disconnect the LV battery. Charge it with a 12 V car battery charger. Get it up above 13 V. Then disconnect the power underneath the backseat Reconnect the charged battery Reconnect the power underneath the backseat That is how I remove removed the low-voltage battery error I was getting on my...

    HepaKing Alpine PXE-X121-12EV DSP Review

    I finally got it sorted out. I added a relay, and connected to the switched accessory wire, To turn my second amplifier and LED lights off. Well, doing the final connection, my wrench did shorted out for a split second, I then was getting a battery fault error. It took me a while to sort that...

    Tesla Emissions

    Yes, I am referring to the condensate from the air conditioner. I have never had this problem before in my Garage to this extent. it creates a pretty big puddle of brown water. no oil stain anymore, but I can’t say I enjoy the condensate emissions
