    Annoying volume adjustments!!!

    Would be great if the human could control the volume, rather than the AI. Or the dog.

    FSD Lane Selection Woes

    FSD will get me there. Just not in an enjoyable or friendly way. Because of the "profile" algorithm, the lane choice, speed choice and driving behavior are linked, the therefore the car will always be wrong on 2 out of 3 things that I want. And I will always be annoyed because I do not have a...

    GPS show truck is way off freeway when it’s not

    Some people say the nav data comes form TomTom. I am not sure, but the nav control on my CT periodically sends me to locations without roads, "shortcuts" that are dirt and 10 miles longer, U-turns on freeways for mysterious routes, etc. I live in NV and think it might be bad location data, but...

    Best ways to prepare for a week in the heat?

    I live in the desert. I keep sentry off, climate control off, and leave the windows cracked open. Put a sign on each door window that says "Smile, you are on camera."

    50 miles of battery usage parked over weekend I’ve known I’ve had excessive drain for a long time now, but finally decided to pay attention over the w

    Fantom drain is scary to me. I keep sentry off, climate control off, and leave the windows cracked open, since I live in the desert. The car does not seem very modern under these circumstances, but probably works for the programmers since their universe is between two coffee shops.

    Nevada.

    Still a total lack of chargers in central Nevda. Ely is open, and working. Tonopah is good, as is Hawthorne, but these 150 kw chargers work there way down to 50 kw as other users show up. I put a home charger at a farmer's barn in dead-center Nevada, so I can cruise there, but that is 48 amps...

    FSD Currently Unusable!

    I have to report that phantom braking is back. I have had many serious incidents of this recently, and it very much is related to patches of new pavement on the highways. I drive a 100 miles straight stretch regularly, and the car decelerates 75 to 10 mph at the same places on the highway each...

    My Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier Rack in Bumper Hitch - Off-Center, Easy Lift Feature, $99 Custom DIY

    Yes, 12" trailer extension solid-steel type. It sticks out 9.5 inches beyond the hitch, and the lower cross bar (far side) is welded 5 inches beyond the hitch; the the extender sticks out 4" beyond this, so I can put my umbrella holder in there. This sets the tire 6" from the bumper, and the...

    My Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier Rack in Bumper Hitch - Off-Center, Easy Lift Feature, $99 Custom DIY

    Nothing is bent or deformed. There is some slop when opened, due to the way the 2" tube sits inside the hitch (as all hitches do). I mentioned that I am working on a fix. So this rocks right with the tire in place, and rocks left when opened - all due to the slop I mentioned.

    FSD Currently Unusable!

    I concur. FSD works fine at slower speeds, but runs off the road repeatedly at 70+. Typically I run into the shoulder on the right, or over the center line into oncoming traffic on the left. This probably happens once every 5 miles. I have done all the reset things, recalibrations, etc. The car...
