Not on Ys, but having both colors I can say go white; Tesla's paint is garbage and blue will show imperfections a lot more. Unless you are meticulous with keeping the car clean or plan on paying extra to have the paint protected, bird poop, tree sap, etc. will destroy the paint. Better have a...

IMO, fake engine noises remind me of slow cars with a loud exhaust; the sound is absolutely pointless. E-shifts only slow down the car; if I’m pedal to the metal, I don’t want the car to decelerate and give me a shift or rev limit ‘feel;’ I want maximum acceleration. Again, pointless. I...

I don’t have that issue, so I can’t say this is the solution, but I’m curious.…do you have location settings set to ‘always’ and ‘precise location’ turned on? Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Tesla

Faraday cage is basically a chamber that blocks electrical signals. Yup, like that. Since you're using a FOB then yea, you'll either need to keep the FOB away from the car or block its signals while within the car.

OP, Silly question (cause I don't see it stated), are you using a FOB? Cause I'm assuming the car is unlocking since your phone is in proximity.

Just time and distance.

Yes, it’s on my phone. Yup. Trimmed that part out in the first screenshot.

Tesla app is not going to Apple Maps for me. Maybe a setting on your phone. 🤷‍♂️

On the freeway, FSD doesn’t do significantly more than what AP offers. So, not worth it. In town, I find myself being more stressed staying ready to immediately take control than just driving myself. So, not worth it. I’ll only consider it when the car can truly drive itself without people in it.

IMO, there is not enough in the new car to spend the difference. Biggest selling point to me would be the performance and that’s only marginally better. Ventilated seats and a face lift isn’t worth taking a bath on your current car; save your money.

Agreed. If I didn’t have an M3P, I’d be tempted to buy the new one. But since I have one, there isn’t enough in the new one to spend ~$20k to upgrade. I’d rather spend that kind of difference on a Cyberbeast.

Considering a similar two-tone look; stainless on top and matte black on the bottom. Rolling emblem of itself. 🤯 😂

Does your car have USS (Ultra Sonic Sensors)? If not, then Summon is not an option.

2024.8.7 came out 3/25 and I don’t think it has the FSD trial. 2024.3.6 came out 3/27 and 2024.3.10 came out yesterday; both have the trial.

Received the FSD trial after my cars updated to the latest firmware; 2024.3.10 for my ‘20 and 2024.3.6 for my ‘23. Did you get 2024.3.6-newer yet?

Tried FSD with a Tesla loaner several months ago and HATED it; stopped using it after only a couple miles. Latest version is much better. The only I don’t like (so far) is that it gets too close (IMO) to cars and curbs on the passenger’s side.

I didn’t get one…I got 2. 😁 j/p Wait for the latest update; either 2024.3.6 or 2024.3.10. When my cars updated, FSD trial popped right up.

Received the notice for my ‘23 couple days ago and my ‘20 got it last night. Both received FSD when they updated to the latest software; 2024.3.6 for the ‘23 and 2024.3.10 for the ‘20. Curious if someone can delay the trial period by delaying the update. 🤔 ‘20 has Summon while the ‘23 does not...

Just talk to Jesse. M3Ps have an issue with the induction map, it’s got a nasty hole. That’s why they unload at 100mph. Gotta length the magnetic pulse another millisecond and tune the timing, they’ll run 9s.

I’m using the same foam cannon and soap; both good IMO. Pressure washer is from Home Depot. Mine is an older model of this version, but same 1800psi. Just don’t get too close to the paint and it should be fine...

Before… After…

Walmart had a Cricut and vinyl on clearance, so I moved forward a bit with the idea. 😁 I'll get better pics tomorrow.

Counted 22 driving from Sac to San Diego last Sunday on I5.

Fearmongering. I have personally used both methods will success. 0000 steel wool and glass cooktop cleaner worked great on hard water stains that didn’t come out with vinegar or Chemical Guys water spot remover. Cerium oxide took out small, visible scratches in the glass.

🤣 Great times we live in when a base model EV going 0-60 in 5.8sec is considered slow! A base A4 does what, 6.2sec? I’d be curious to know what the 5-60 time is. My RWD seems to have more punch when it’s rolling than from a stop. From a stop, it does feel kinda slow. 😁

If Tesla is going to cover it under warranty, go for it. If not, try 0000 steel wool and glass cooktop cleaner...

Decals for 19” wheels would be a bigger market. 😉 https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7794496/

Didn't say the mirror sees something the camera doesn't. I'm saying that by looking at a mirror, there is additional peripheral vision on top of looking at a mirror. By looking at a centrally located camera image, peripheral vision around the screen means nothing. Plus IMO, using both is (1) a...

I don’t use camera images. Main reason is looking right to go left is unnerving; all you can see is what is in the screen. When looking at mirrors, there is additional peripheral vision for potential objects next to the car outside the mirror’s view. If there were small screens near the base of...

Noticed my lock confirmation sound also turned off. I believe it had to do with custom lock sounds; when going from a custom lock sound to no custom sound, the lock confirmation turns off. Thought this cause I was playing with custom lock sounds just before I noticed the standard lock...

Not trying to change their mindset. I say charging an EV is a mindset change from periodically filling up a gas tank. Also, don’t sell them [stubborn people] a pen.

Short conversations like that, I don’t bother with charge rates or time cause (1) waiting for a charge is an exception not the rule and (2) they’ll just latch onto ‘slow charging’ as a negative bias anyway. I would say something to the affect there is a mindset change; charging an EV is like...

Maybe I’m missing something. Should be able to go into Charge Stats, scroll down to settings, and change the home location rate to 0. Is the app not letting you do that?

Nope. Don’t worry about it.

Figured as much. Just thought I'd kid around a bit. 😁 Haven't driven cross country (yet), but did a recent ~1300 mile trip and several 500+ mile (round trip) drives in a RWD. My thoughts...you do you on the regular long-drive prep work. As for the EV related recommendations, don't rush it...

Fly. 😁

Software bug. 🤷‍♂️ Info is from an EU manual.

I wouldn't be surprised if the plastic skid plate started buffeting and breaking apart when driving on a highway. Might want to use "200-MPH NASCAR" duct tape for the time being. I'd agree with @buckets0fun, time to get an aftermarket skid plate; don't bother with a factory plastic one.

Didn't try it on a side glass, but I did use the product linked below to remove scratches on a windshield. Worked well, however, the instructions say it wont work on scratches that can be felt. So it might only lessen visibility, not eliminate it...

Checkout post #3 in this thread. There is a gap of sealant that allowed water to pass. In the video, it shows as a white light passing through a seam. Yellow light is passing through sealant. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/water-in-your-trunk-lid-try-this.319540/#post-8022850

Not much consolation in your case, but an Apple Watch will authenticate a ChargePoint charger without an internet connection. Tried it with my phone turned off and it worked. Here's hoping you can do the same in Australia sooner than later. 🍻

That sucks. 👎

I use ChargePoint, but they didn’t send me a card or anything physical. I just added ChargePoint to my [Apple] Wallet and authenticate with my [Apple] Watch. I believe authenticating with a Watch acts like an RFID card, so I wouldn’t think it needs an internet connection. I’ll try it when...

Maybe next time I’m dealing with service, I’ll bring it up. 😂 This is issue #3 for the car; not including an issue induced by a mobile tech. Got to meet the Service Manager cause of the induced damage.

Yes, but at this point I’m not planning on bringing it to a body shop; not worth my time. I’ll have to go for an estimate, wait for Tesla to approve the estimate, drop off the car to have it worked on, then go pick it up. Each back and forth is about an hour drive time, so I’ll be spending 3...

Thanks! Yes. Didn't use a pin; gap is pretty obvious in person. Yes. SeamWeld Syringe Light shown in the video... ...and the other side.

Try this trick out to find water intruding into the trunk lid. Bonus points, guess how many times I said the word "actually." 😂

FYI...decided to hunt for the issue.
