    Wow, 36.5 is out

    It's like being disappointed on Xmas morning. Every time I see a new SW notification, I rush to see if it includes FSD so it catches up on a SW branch that actually allows me to use the FSD beta.

    Wiki FSD Beta release history

    Yes, issue has been that 10.69.2 is based on older software if you have 2022.24.x or 2022.28.x; it’s newer than what FSD supports. Rumor is they’ll move the new 10.69.3 to the current software release ‘shortly after AI day.’

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    Another odd thing, (dang teslafi I feel like I know too much about peoples car's, lol.) They installed 22.24.5 yesterday, 22.28.2 this morning and 22.20.17 this afternoon. I wonder if its in the shop or something and was pushed??

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    I see that too. Just 1 for now, but maybe that's the next wave (crosses fingers)

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    I'm in the same boat as a couple others with a newer version (28.2) than the current FSD branch. Looking at Teslafi, there have been none that have downgraded to get FSD. I'm assuming it will happen, but understand it'll probably be later in the rollout since cars like mine are switching between...

    Supercharger - Waldorf, MD

    Drove by late last week. Looks like all of the electrical work is done, but one of the Cabinets still has the shipping cover on it. I'm guessing its waiting on final inspection

    Dash cam for 2016 S HW1

    I have IRO also, no frills but I like it. Everyone just assumes it’s the AP camera when looking at the front of the car since it looks stock. The app is a little wonky and don’t expect to download using WiFi. It’s painfully slow, but I have a 128gb card and it works great

    Glass Breaking Fail

    I believe with towing you have a tongue weight which loads the suspension. Most trailers are about 10% tongue weight. So a 15,000 trailer has 1500lbs of weight being counted as ‘payload’ on the vehicle. Pulling would have no weight added to the vehicle. It’s why the worlds strongest man...

    Glass Breaking Fail

    side glass is tempered and shatters when it breaks. Front glass is laminated (safety glass) and splinters like the side on the cybertruck did. There’s a variety of reasons that cars have been this way for the last 40 years. As a firefighter, it took us about 5 secs to remove side glass and 5...

    This truck design had better be a joke....

    Wow, what an ugly truck. But the specs are fantastic. They are competing with the $50-70k light duty trucks. I think they tried to undercut Rivian too much and not compete in the same class. The body is the biggest cost cutting measure. But if you think about the simplicity that’s where they can...

    MD: FS GENUINE OEM Tesla 21" Turbine Wheels

    I jinxed myself with this post! The next day, my trunk wouldn’t open. A quick forum search and there was a limited window of 2015s that seem to have a problem with the cinch actuator failing when the trunk is closed. Problem is that the car thinks the trunk is open which deactivates all of the...

    MD: FS GENUINE OEM Tesla 21" Turbine Wheels

    I actually just switched back to my 19” for the winter. I absolutely love the look of the 21”, but if you are looking at cost to own; they only come in summer tires from what I’ve found. I have 10k on them and they are probably half spent. But it is worth it, the car looks awesome with them. I...

    First 3rd party extended warranty for Tesla’s

    No, I ended up taking a chance on moving past 50k without warranty support. I had one mobile appointment covering a part they were supposed to replace at my last SC trip. He did that and more. i asked about payment and he said, “all this stuff probably happened before your warranty was up...

    Twin Turbine Lug Nut Covers

    I’m seeking some advice. When I replaced my 19” winter wheels with 21” summer twin turbines, the lug nut covers wouldn’t fit with the old style stainless steel lug nuts. Since I deformed some of the soft metal on the original nuts, I ordered aftermarket ones. The threads and cones at the bottom...

    Software Update 2019.16.x

    Received update this morning. Launch and max battery are back on my P85D (non ludicrous.) Haven’t launched with it yet, but double pedal push gets it into the right mode. Also got SW update preference.

    Software Update 2019.12.x

    I’ll check again tomorrow, but I’m almost positive I used it just the other week after the latest update.

    MD: FS GENUINE OEM Tesla 21" Turbine Wheels

    Yeah, I should have looked at his profile page first. Lesson learned. I Usually do my homework if I’m buying on Craigslist, but just got careless since he was listing it here. In the end, I found a refurb rim from a reputable rim dealer online for $300 and the other rims I was quoted $110 a...

    creaking in front end, Warranty expires in 104 miles, but service center is 200 miles away

    Dang, that typo changes the context, doesn’t it. Lol

    creaking in front end, Warranty expires in 104 miles, but service center is 200 miles away

    TL;DR. Depends on who you talk too. I bought my P85D third party with 49,200 in late January. I logged some issues and had mobile tech fix them right before warranty expired. Then I found the louvers never closed on one side and there were leaves in there from the fall I suppose after warranty...

    MD: FS GENUINE OEM Tesla 21" Turbine Wheels

    All, I’d like to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, because he was nice and seemed to be upfront with the purchase. Since then though, I’ve tried to contact him a week ago and he hasn’t responded, so I’m guessing that he knew what was going on. 1) When I went to mount my tires, all 4 of...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    Yes, I’ve heard it bounces the radar off the road. Sometimes if you are stopped at a light the car 2 ahead of you comes up on the screen even if the camera can’t see it. It was one of the early things that made me say to myself “I need to get that car someday”. Here’s the YouTube video that...

    Overwhelmed! Considering a Used Model S

    I forgot, I’m perfectly happy with AP1. It is still ‘supported’ but they will probably not add any of the new features. When I drove a new model s, the only difference was that you could have autopilot automatically change lanes on the highway. AP1 will change lanes for you if you simply turn on...

    Overwhelmed! Considering a Used Model S

    Couple things 8 year unlimited mile warranty is for the battery and drive train. It doesn’t cover normal degradation; but more battery module failure. Cars have 4 year 50k standard. I’ve had some luck with them replacing common problems even though I’m slightly out of warranty although YMMV...

    Fantastic Service Experience

    I second the experience. I had the ranger out of Rockville and just today one from Grasonville. They were both great and even addressed some ‘oh by the ways’ that I had. I tried the SC in Rockville a few weeks back and ended up writing a letter to Tesla on the disorganization. My lesson learned...

    WTB: 1- Sonic Carbon Twin Turbine 9x21

    I got careless when I bought a set of staggered twin turbines about a month ago. Gave them a quick look over then, but just went to get them mounted and a) they are bent which I didn’t notice and b) there’s 3 8.5x21s and only 1 9x21 Trying to get back in contact with the seller, but posting...

    Tesla Drag Racing

    Yeah, it’s only about 20 minutes away from me, but there really is nowhere to charge except for a few level 2s and a Chademo at a Nissan dealer. I should just take my 7kw home backup generator and use that to charge. Ha, that would be some irony.

    Tesla Drag Racing

    My ICE drag racing coworker (who I nearly fully converted to EV when we went out for a spin in my P85D) just sent me an EV drag racing class at Maryland International Raceway. If our little, rural corner of Maryland can embrace EVs; the future is bright. Interesting they reference a ‘test’...

    I just got some Falkens too. They need to get mounted and then I’ll probably switch them out with the 19” primacy’s that are on there now.

    When resetting TPMS, there’s a selection for wheel size, either 19 or 21. Not sure all of the settings that change when toggling it, but it must be there for a reason?? I guess.

    I'm in mourning...

    Your poor Tesla was only referred to as “2016 Tesla Model S?” It’s like having a puppy named just ‘Dog’ LOL There’s still controversy in my house because my kids don’t like the name ‘Niko’ for ours.

    Used Model S 70D Experience (March 2019)

    I just bought the car about 6 weeks ago. The dealer processed the tags and sent them to me so I’m not sure about the title.

    Used Model S 70D Experience (March 2019)

    I live in MD and bought 3rd party in VA. I refinanced soon after the purchase and needed the title. Called DMV about a month after I bought it and they still didn’t have the title transferred into my name. Actually, it was a MD owner before and their database still had that listed. Anyway, the...

    When will AP1 and earlier cars get recent updates?

    Location based auto folding. Just like the air suspension that you can set to raise or lower at a specific location. I guess it will be good for folks that have tight garages.

    Level-2 charge adapter and key fob

    I bought a fob off of eBay and had the mobile tech program my car to accept it. Fob cost me $60 and he programmed it for free. Just FYI, the way it works is the key serial number is added to the car, so any fob (as long as it is a US version) will work.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    I had the same problem with ezpass. Supposedly right next to the mirror should work, but it still didn’t for me. I ended up getting the license plate mounted pass. If you placed the license plate too low, you are probably interfering with the radar. It’s a square piece of plastic (about 4”x4”)...

    Supercharger - Gaithersburg, MD

    I was here last weekend around 2 o’clock trying to get a charge after visiting the SC to get home. It was full and there was one MS waiting. The kid in the MS got out, told me that one of the cars was done charging, but he was going to switch the car because he worked at Enterprise and his boss...

    A used 2016 and above Model S or a new Model 3

    I also bought 3rd party. Right now the only difference is with 3rd party you can actually see, touch and drive the car before you buy and for the CPO is the warranty extension. Well, the first 3rd party warranty is out now and uses Tesla service. Price of that is comparable to adding the Tesla...

    MD: FS GENUINE OEM Tesla 21" Turbine Wheels

    I’m in MD and very interested and could pick them up. How much did the SC charge you to switch the wheel size in the firmware of the car? Or did you not worry about it. I’m debating using my 19” for winter and these for summer.
