I had two payment methods, with the first being a bank savings account routing link, and the second a credit card. When it came time to pay the bill, it was automatically transferred out of that account electronically. The credit card was, if I remember correctly, used for a down payment...

He showed up in a model 3. Suspect single big jack to lift both wheels up on one side of the car.

I love fsd 12.3.4, as a driver's assist. I use it as much as I can, and I have some normal workarounds for various issues. -For the wheel nag, I just hook one hand on the lower side of the steering wheel and let the weight of my hand take care of the nags. I do lift my hand when the wheel is...

This seems either silly or just stupidly inefficient. I have 10,000 miles on my 2023 MYP, and I wanted to try Tesla mobile service to rotate my tires. So I made a service appt 3 days ago, and this morning a tech showed up to rotate my tires for me. And then he told me I would have to take the...

My impression was that they were the first vehicle to use the 4680 batteries, and as soon as the Cybertruck got into production the 4680's were reserved for them and the model disappeared.

Here you go. From the train to Talkeetna last summer.

That's worth a Youtube video.

I once got laid of from my IT job just before Christmas. I was a 'Novell guy', and they only had upcoming work for Microsoft guys so I got laid off. 24 hours later I got a call that they had found work for me, and I wasn't laid off, and have a nice Christmas. But that 24 hour delay was fatal...

New windshield, of course! The morning I went to pick up my MYP last August, I got a note on my app that a problem had occurred that morning. On the way back from a car wash, my car had picked up a rock chip in the windshield. Tesla would replace it for free (in 2 weeks, when service...

You need to turn on FSD, let it fail in the usual spot, disengage and press the talk button to send a short message to Tesla about it. Once they know about the problem YOU are having, it might get fixed sooner.

Did you happen to notice what the screen showed as the speed limit?

Yes, but the replacement is wireless induction charging. No cables, no connector standards issues, automatic enough for robotaxis.

No, it's running on HW4, though I've heard in HW3 emulation mode. It's working fine on my 2023 MYP with HW4. I use it a lot. Can't wait to see V12 on the highway stack instead of V11.

Can anyone tell what has been done to this site, aside from digging up and replacing something in the ground? In particular, did new transformers replace older ones? It seems like this site just might not have been done right from the start, necessitating starting over. It still seems like...

How about some summaries and impressions of all these SC locations and performance over the years? What's the worst and best experience, the best and worst SC locations, etc?

You'll probably get 12.4, and you'll probably get a free month trial.

Mirrors pointing down in reverse is not unique to Tesla, and it's not about wheels. It's about not running over small children.

Then you get to your destination with 7% left. At this time, the Tesla app doesn't let you specify a minimum charge level at destination arrival. Once you get to your destination, the car 'assumes' you have some charging available to you.

FSD 12.3.5 oddity tonight. I just installed in on my 2023 MYP and ran my usual short test loop. Saw two new things happen, including an oddity. It was mostly the same as 12.3.4 as far as I could tell. It still has lane-change-wiggle. It still stops-creeps-stops at stop signs. However, it...

Yes. It doesn't tell you what highway version is running, as far as I know. You infer it from lack of changes plus the behavior of the maximum / auto speed limit. (A change there happens when you go on/off the freeway.) FSD now just requires a single downward pull of the right stalk (on my...

It's almost always 10% in my (limited) road trip experience. That gives you quite a bit of buffer - should be up to 30 miles - in case of headwinds and the like. The way I tell is by looking at when the car tells me I can continue my journey (to the next Supercharger). It's always when the...

Correct, that's what it sounds like. A lot of people come in with false/mistaken warranty claims. It takes time to look at stuff, and I can see charging for it if not under warranty, or you're just providing free inspections.

It's been my experience on road trips that Tesla tries to get you to the next SC destination with at least 10% of charge. For instance, you have a very long gap on the highway so there is really only one choice for the charging stop you are at - stay there long enough to achieve 10% estimated...

First, let's talk options. Tesla Wall Connector, or Tesla Mobile Connector. The Tesla Wall Connector (and I assume Universal version with J1772 and NACS connectors) uses a 60amp breaker but is set to use 80% of that, meaning 48amps, max. That's the one that gives you 11.5kWh charging. It...

What's changed?

Now that I'm using FSD a lot, I'd like a smidge more control than tapping the accelerator or hoping a turn signal gets the car to change lanes. I'd like the ability to add a small joystick to be able to adjust the car right or left a little bit (within the lane), speed up a bit by pushing...

NEVI publishes all their grants. NEVI is publicly-funded so has to be open to the public. I assume it's equal across the US, but here in Arizona NEVI funds 80% of the cost and expects a private owner/operator to pick up the rest of the cost. As I was thinking how hard even 20% of the cost...

I used version 11, and I now use 12.3.4. What a difference! Version 11 put the excitement into a boring drive. Never knew quite what it would do when multiple cars were around, but it would sometimes be dramatic. Version 12 drives like my sister. I mostly drive around Phoenix, AZ, which...

Holiday traffic with a 90% EV rate might start making the site fill up. Maybe. Over 100 V3 stalls - that's a HECK of a lot of capacity! (I wonder what the average throughput would be? What is the average length of time spent at the average Interstate V3 site?)

That might explain the major work being done at the Stapley and Higley site in Mesa. Had to move the stalls over a bit. Seems like they could have figured that out last year when they built the site.

Go watch the big EV truck race across america (Out Of Spec, others) and see what happened when the Cybertruck and the Rivian showed up there at the same time. It cost Rivian the race, or at least 2nd place, when they hit those EA chargers. I think the Cybertruck was in and out in less than 10...

By end of April.

I agree it's ideally positioned as a charge stop. But it's of a size that looks like it would support 100% of the I-10 traffic being EV's. It's very uncrowded at present, partially because everyone automatically goes to the old (36 stall) site at Carl's Junior. The nav tends to take you to...

It's a very odd situation. First, the site is only about a year old and was all V3. Scroll through this thread and you see that construction hadn't even started 2 years ago. I've seen sites stay in permitting longer than this site's permit, construction and deconstruction! Second, the...

Expect an update soon then.

Stopped by yesterday, no change. Subway will get a lot more business when those stalls go in.

You get an update notification (pushed to you) on your phone app and in your car. You then choose to download and install it (or not), it downloads, installs and about 45 minutes later you have a new software version in your car. Whatever version of FSD came with that software version will...

I'm not complaining. I've charged there twice and loved the extra space. But ... there are 120 stalls!! Yes, 8 of them are 150kW, but that leaves 112 V3 stalls. WHY would they make this location the third largest in the world? Oh, this stop has all covered stalls (the new, 84 stall...

Yes, eventually a lot of non-Teslas will be there, but that seems a very long time. And no grants that I know of on this site. If there were grants, there would be V4 stalls there. The more I think about it, the more I think Tesla has locked in 100% of the traffic in the area. It can't be...

I have to wonder. Since all the V4's I've heard about so far are actually just V4 stalls on V3 infrastructure, I don't understand why V4's haven't been the only stalls installed for the past year? It makes little to no sense. Certainly if NEVI funding is involved you get V4 stalls simply to...

Here's a thread for speculation with little or no evidence! Why is Tesla putting in extremely large supercharger sites like Quartzite, Arizona? This is a very rural area with a major interstate freeway. There were 36 v2 & v3 SC's here already before Tesla put in a huge 84-stall SC site a...

Apparently most of the ones behind you.

Teslas won't change lanes in their TACC. How many other manufacturers are the same?

Loops are a great way to test the car against road and signage conditions. Traffic too, if it is consistent. I have a much shorter drive that I usually end up doing at night so not many cars to deal with. In my loop, the Satnav takes me one way to the destination, but another way home...

Try the usual, for starters. Baby wipes.

Two thoughts there. First, Traffic Aware Cruise Control. Vehicles are running on cruise control, catch up to you and slow down to your speed. Eventually the driver takes over to pass you. Second, drunk drivers.

Can you mark it as going to V4 instead of V3?

My guess is that your battery pack was close to the ideal temperature already.

I've wondered about that. I have a 2023 MYP with HW4. It doesn't run into curbs or run over lines, and it's generally been pretty good. Almost the only time I disengage is to go faster.

FSD overrules Nav guidance when it wants to, and that's the way it has to be. But I don't know that FSD sees a difference between the Nav turning on a signal or a driver.
