    Tesla Autopilot Full Self Driving Month Trial April 2024. Pretty Good!

    Been away a few days and just seeing this. I will give that a try tomorrow. Thank you! I have been testing FSD for several days. On the highway, it works very well...making lane changes to pass and return to each lane, slowing for traffic, etc. Today, I took a trip of about 110 miles each way...

    Tesla Autopilot Full Self Driving Month Trial April 2024. Pretty Good!

    Summon appears on my phone app but, when I went to test it, it read 'disabled".

    Free FSD for April -- but not for me?

    I received the software update several days ago and yesterday was my first attempt to use it. I have tested Cadillac Cruise a few years back. It was a bit unnerving at first, but worked very well. It did get confused in one spot and I took over. There is a jughandle (NJ thing) near my home...

    Tesla supercharging during solar eclipse?

    The likelihood of clouds is increasing in Niagara Falls too. We may wind up going mobile that day to chase clear skies. Right now, northern NY state looks a better bet. However, weather changes quickly in WNY. Hopefully, we get back to a mostly sunny forecast.

    Tesla supercharging during solar eclipse?

    Understood....Cheektowaga SC is about 30-40 mins on a decent day, each way. Then charge time plus any waits or traffic delays. I manage that fine on a normal visit as there is usually no delay at the SC and traffic is minimal - especially compared to here in NJ. We just decided we want to...

    Tesla supercharging during solar eclipse?

    We are traveling to Buffalo/Niagara Falls for the eclipse and have reluctantly decided to take my wife's car. Not that it is a bad car but, as you get to Western NY, there are only a couple chargers. They are a distance from the family and I don't want to spend time in line with other eclipse...

    Camera based detection motion not working properly

    Just noticed that that a new ding was in my passenger door while shopping this afternoon. It had to have happened yesterday or today as I washed my car yesterday morning and the ding was not there at the time. I checked my Sentry video, and my Sentry mode captured no events for Saturday and...

    Model Y - Flapping in front end during wind gusts

    Thanks - I will see if i can get a better look underneath...otherwise will contact the SC.

    Model Y - Flapping in front end during wind gusts

    Would new tires and an alignment require the shop to remove the underbody shielding? Only work I have had done and the flapping was a week or two afterwards. I was gusty again yesterday and experience the flapping again.

    Model Y - Flapping in front end during wind gusts

    I have not had it repeat since that gusty morning. I drove about 250 miles yesterday and it did not occur. I will keep and eye on it and hopefully it is one of those things that occurs only under rare conditions.

    Model Y - Flapping in front end during wind gusts

    I have a 2021 Model Y. It is very windy and gust today and I noticed a flapping sound coming from the front end when big wind gusts come up. I looked underneath and the aero cover appears with quick inspection. I cannot get under to see the full length Couple questions: Has anyone experienced...

    1up USA Bike Rack

    I have the 1Up rack on my MY and AP works fine. Like Spokey, the alerts go off in Reverse but AP works fine.

    Post your Travel trailer that you tow with your Y

    I spotted a Model Y towing a Rove LIte travel trailer at the supercharger in Charton, MA. Did not have an opportunity to speak to the owner but looks interesting. Rove Lite - Travel Lite Trailers

    Tires Model Y Long Range 19 Inch Wheels

    Any reason to be concerned getting tires installed at a normal tire - or Costco - versus the Tesla SC? I imagine they are all familiar by now.

    Following Distance

    I noticed the other day, after the latest SW update, I can no longer adjust the following distance below 2 car lengths. Is that a change. Yes....I know 3 car lengths is taught in driving school but this is NJ. :)

    Thank you. I will give that a try. Sound like that would work.

    Boombox Function

    I was putting up Christmas lights outside the house yesterday and thought it would be nice to play some Christmas music while doing so. I recalled the Boombox funtion - though have not used in the past. I was able to have my MY play music on the outside speakers while I sat in the car, but as...

    Supercharger - Bridgewater, NJ

    Some are matter of lacking common sense and courtesy - and others are just blatantly spiteful. I also hate the folks that pump their gas, leave the car at the pump, and then walk inside to go the bathroom and order food or grab a drink. Move the car away from the pump then go inside. I got stuck...

    Supercharger - Bridgewater, NJ

    I was charged as well. I only plugged in a few minutes to test while I grabbed some (freaking $2,300 fridge broke for third time in 5 years...), I was charged $2 for 4 kWh - so a bit pricy.

    Just stopped by on the way home this evening and saw the units lit!. I plugged in, took a pic . I see others discovered as well before me Yoo-hoo! Finally. Note the requisite Dodge Ram pickup parked across the spaces...lol. He was actually only there a minute and taking a call. Probably a...

    Surprised they were not friendly. My experience was the exact opposite and they were super helpful. Perhaps a bad day or new person.

    Maybe the failure is due to the 'broken pipe' (I assume conduit) mentioned earlier in this thread. If it failed inspection in July, we are now on two months for repair/correction.

    Supercharger - Hamburg, PA

    I have now used this site on around 5 roundtrips from NJ to Harrisburg and it is the perfect location for me. Yesterday, I stopped and went into Wawa to use the bathroom, grab a coffee and some road food. I was there about 15 mins and left around 81% (i did not bother to note exact numbers). I...

    I drove past there yesterday and saw the hoods still on the chargers and just shook my head. Glad to hear there may be light at the end of the tunnel.

    Software Updates Issue

    Thanks folks. For several days, I could not get the software update to download. It would not recognize my wi-fi network. Kept searching. I rebooted the router a few times and moved the MY closer to the house to no avail. I then found this thread and restarted the touchscreen per above...

    Android Phone not recognized.

    I always carry the key card as backup just in case of situations like this or a lost/broken phone. As an update, I did reset the Bluetooth connection and restart my phone yesterday. I only went out for a short shopping trip but so far, so good.

    thanks....will give that a try

    Android Phone not recognized.

    Over the past several days it appears that my MY is not recognizing my phone. I cannot unlock the car and it is asking for the key card. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Tesla app on my phone but today had the same issue. I eventually could manually unlock via the app, but when I got in...

    1up USA Bike Rack

    I keep my rack on most of the summer - except if going on a longer road trip without the bikes. Not sure if I understand the question regarding the locking mechanism. Are you referring to the teeth wearing down. If so, mine did the same. I have learned to find the sweet spot on the lever in...

    How low are you comfortable going on range estimator on a trip?

    I left Hershey, PA today and the estimator said I would arrive home at 15%. I have gained confidence in the tool so no worries. I actually arrived home at 17% and that was with traffic on 78 travelling at a spirited clip.

    How low are you comfortable going on range estimator on a trip?

    I tend to plan to 20% but do 15% at times. I like to have extra for a detour or other unknowns - unless an area with many SC sites, Most of my travels the SC sites are further spaced apart than home.

    I don't care about non-EVs anymore

    Was just thinking yesterday that, if my MY were in an accident, and I needed to replace it quickly, that the lead times might mean I need to consider something else to replace it. I could not go back to an ICE vehicle as my daily driver at this point. I replaced my gas weedwhacker with an E-Go...

    $2000 acceleration upgrade now missing?

    thank you...that is great news!

    $2000 acceleration upgrade now missing?

    I still do not see the upgrade option in the phone app, car, or accessing via the web browser. I, too, would be interested in purchasing it if available still. Please let us know what you learn.

    How to choose hotels on roadtrip?

    I also have found the ChargePoints to be out of service about 25% of the time so, if depending on the hotel charger for juice, indeed call to confirm.
