I’m not experiencing this. Perhaps clear your browser cache? The ever-popular shut down and cold start?

That should buff right out.

Given her talent, executive ranking, and demonstrated accomplishments, I’m guessing Rebecca has either already found her next role possible a C-level one, or her headhunter is taking time negotiating the total and likely unbelievable comp package. We should learn soon what that is. We know she...

I felt the same about a neighbor’s newborn. The parents felt differently. You say “potato,” I say vodka. 8 billion different opinions exist today.

I’d suggest the service request. Could be a refrigerant leak, bad sensor somewhere, something else, all of which are warranty-covered repairs. While your summers are somewhat less intense than ours in the colonies, the humidity can be truly oppressive. Would not want to have to drive long...

It’s kewl.

This engine just fascinates me with every characteristic being almost unbelievable including I’m sure its cost. According to most, this 2-stroke is super efficient for any diesel, about 50% which is amazing compared to 20%-30% efficiency that is far more typical. That said, however, this beast...

So relieved to see RR on the “Adopting” list. I’m expecting my on-order Spectre to be outfitted with the J3400 kit and not have to use those tacky converters…one just does not do that, does one?

Sure, let’s go with that.

How will any of these events remediate phantom braking?

Given their accomplishments, especially against many many hurdles to overcome, I don’t think any of the folks let go will have difficulty with finding broader/better jobs. For the more senior people and especially Rebecca, they are a headhunter’s wet dream and have likely been courted by many...

Agree given essentially every other similar experience. But how can CS die for a firm that, listening to the forums, doesn’t have it to begin with?

FTFY.

Sad, but brilliantly stated, thank you.

What is this high pitched cricket like noise? That’s the sound of customer support getting back to your voicemail.

Honestly, I don’t recall a car company including Mercedes ever trying to shove a vehicle down my throat, not figuratively and certainly not literally. I actually like the EQE and EQS but hopefully not in the market for another couple of years.

A 70-mile actual range on a full charge for a 2012 LEAF seems very suspicious to me. My 2012, with less than 18,000 miles in 2023, would get about 35 city miles on a full charge, far less if highway speed was involved. If true, that’s amazing and more than my car got when brand new. EPA range...

Au contraire. It most certainly does when I’m in it. Oh wait…

Not yet, but likely to come given that new models don’t include USS hardware.

Back in July of 2018 I bought my Model 3 with EAP ($5K) and added the vaporware FSD promise ($3K) for grins and chuckles. Nice to see that over the 6 years since of hugely varying prices, things are now back to what they were 6 years ago. Admittedly the software does a few more things better...

I’ve paid for Tesla’s mobile service to replace my cabin air filters annually…and they’ve needed it. It is amazing how dirty these get in just around town and occasional road trips totaling about 3000-4000 miles/year. I’ve not experienced any of the bad smells others have, so no spray job...

Another approach is to get there before the offender does and take the spot and the charging. When you’re done, notify one of the other EV owners and then swap your vehicle for theirs. Lather, rinse, and repeat as needed.

During bug season I run my 2018 Model 3 through a local spinning-brush conveyor car wash. Gets the bugs, car’s clean. Usually do this twice a month, weekly when encountering higher levels of suicide-prone insects.

I’m very glad for this forum and those who led the charge by upgrading immediately to v2022.20.9, the enfant terrible that castrated existing radars. I then decided to stay on v2022.20.8 and forego the “amazing, incredible new and wonderful features of…wait for it…CrippleVision, or maybe that...

…and you’d be correct. This is your answer, no equivocating needed.

Didn’t “Bob” replace the much-abhorred “Clippy?”

Previously, if I skipped an update it only installed whatever was the latest for my car…there was no incremental approach. Don’t know if that’s still true but I suspect so. I’m still on v2022.20.8 awaiting the much-anticipated AutoPark and Summon functions to return to subsequent software...

We are over-caffeinated with two different Nespresso units, one Keurig, and one Jura, and each has its own descale process. We keep all three owners manuals very close and have to refer to them EVERY time. The Keurig is plumbed to our whole house RO water supply line and that adds a bit of...

I’ve never done that, nor have needed to. The car powers up and down at least once for each update…or at least mine does.

Sorry, totally joking. We tried chill, normal, sport modes early on in our Model 3’s ownership…preferred the normal mode for all of our driving and have left it there. May have to look at trying them all again assuming some changes have been made in the different modes since mid-2018. But I...

There’s a chill mode?

How much of the UI can you take? Main screen? Option screens? Also, I’m not so much taking a stand as enjoying that which works well on my car. I do use, enjoy, and value the excellent AutoPark I have, along with the frequently-used Summon, and the...

Holding my own beer but you beat me. I’m on v2022.20.8, the last before TV.

Phantom braking decidedly not fixed in my car. It’s as bad as it ever was in my 2018 M3LRRWD.

Yes, thanks for the reminder. My 2018 Easy Entry still works well so happy about that. Without reading (or listening) closely, the Rivian announcement sounded like the exits get bigger with a software update. Really wanted to see that.

Does this work? How would you assess Oregon’s roads and bridges for maintenance vs. other states?

Not sure, but you seem upset. How do you feel about that?

Ordered a Nissan LEAF in 2010, arrived in Feb 2012 as a 2012 model. Battery capacity dived off a cliff, but not fast enough to get a replacement under warranty. Sold in Sep 2023…its range then was about 30 city miles. I still feel somewhat bad that Nissan never leveraged this early-mover...

So, exactly how does a software update improve “…our roomy entry and exit experience?” I’d like some of that for my Model 3.

“…and except for that one thing, I really enjoyed the play.” - Mrs. Abraham Lincoln These “one off” exceptions happen, perhaps more than one thinks, and explain why stalkless is a bad idea despite being something one can get used to for most situations. I want turn signals I can use in every...

“But the truth is out there” - X Files

I’ve done the same, and from the beginning of our Model 3 ownership. Our SSD is in the console (2018 model) and is partitioned for the car’s dash cam/Sentry use on one side and music on the other. We did this since we needed a device for the dash cam anyway so why not do both. The music...

2nd EVSE and avoid the grief?

Seriously? Never had a stalk problem, nor have I experienced signals not working. Ever. In any of my over four dozen vehicles and decades of different brands. In fairness I’ve replaced two flashers in a classic car but that’s it. Either I’ve been very lucky, or you haven’t.

Twice.

I have to admit that both Elon and Tim could learn something from RJ…his R2 announcement keynote was about as well-done as I’ve seen. Short, pithy, focused, no drone zooming across donut rooftop, no handoffs to half a dozen others. Not currently interested in an R2 but I do like RJ’s...

Why? That’s been mentioned dozens of times in this and other forums, including just two posts prior to yours. To refresh: my 12v battery replacement was US$117/CAD$155 including the battery, labor, taxes, and fees, all in my driveway by a mobile tech. Still curious?

Our small town had a 12-pedestal site go live late last year. And in another small-ish town 20 miles away, a 16-pedestal site has been permitted. That’s in addition to another site with 8 pedestals 18 miles away in another direction in yet another small town. This last has been in operation...

Or at all for questionable and likely unneeded “assets.” Fisker in bankruptcy again is yet another unwanted nothingburger, like it was the first couple of times. No unique designs, no radical IP, no magic processes, no…er, anything of value?

Much more than proud…I think Barnum would be in awe.
