We're having this issue very consistently on our model Y. It's not "vent mode", where all 4 roll down to a consistent half inch or so. It's completely random how far down each one goes, sometimes just one, sometimes three, sometimes all 4. We're definitely not bumping window switches on exit...

I had the FSD trial on my Y last month, I think it was V12.3.5 . Half a mile from the house, it steered directly at a yellow and black chevron striped sign demarking the end of a culvert where the road narrowed by a couple of feet. I let it go as long as I could without jeopardizing safety. It...

My 2023 MYLR refuses to connect to WPA3 only security networks, which is what my home network is. Yes, I know how to temporarily change it to WPA2 or WPA2/3 transitional if I want/need to, so no comments needed about that. It's pretty dumb that Tesla, a "tech company", can't make their stuff...

Yes, but both the app and API let you stop charging below 50%. HomeAssistant + Teslemetry is how I accomplish this, and also scheduling charging + cabin preconditioning for the weird one off trips we have. Up until recently the Tesla app did not have a one time scheduled charge limit, so I built...

Gotta fire their copy writer. Watts are power, not energy :) Other than that looks like a slick integration, not that far off from what I'm trying to DIY .........

How bad is the hit to aero / Cd / efficiency with just an empty rack on? Obviously adding more things on the rack adds more drag, and there's no way to publish numbers for everything... But for the bare rack I think that should be easy to before/after test with some kind of accuracy...

There's 3 parts to optimizing this: - BMS calibration + cell balancing: it does help the BMS to do it's job well to see high and low SOC with no loads on the car (sentry mode, climate, etc off) for an hour or two every once in awhile. I try to get it above 91% or below 20% and leave the car sit...

Basic TACC still does a ton of phantom braking events on our 2023 Y. It's not as bad as it was ~10 months ago, but we're still getting one every 300-400 miles or so.

I appreciate you adding solid numbers to the conversation. However I am not sure you fully understood my point, so I'll back up and explain a bit more thoroughly and add additional numbers as well. Not sure if yours were USD or AUD, but I'll just assume USD as its the most pessimistic against my...

Forum mangled the link. I edited the post and fixed it. Agreed that the way cost structures for grid connections (especially "demand charges") very much messes up the deal for CPOs. But Tesla has had the tech necessary to battery backup, and demand manage Superchargers for how long? With even a...

I cannot speak to other countries, but the answer for the US is "no". Interstate highways are mostly covered, but with some ugly gaps and especially "V3 gaps" remaining. However, the interstate system does not cover everywhere, especially out here in the Mountain West. US highways have many...

Cleaning house is a careful process, deciding what to keep and what needs to go based on the merit of each thing or employee. The way Musk did this would be the equivalent of cleaning house via the enough matches and gasoline to burn down the neighborhood method.

Case in point of why Musk is not the right CEO for this phase of Tesla: laying off the entire Supercharger team is an absolutely boneheaded move. Sure, pause hiring. Cut some chaff. Don't axe a department that has been a key core competency and brand differentiator...

No longer a shareholder, but if I was this would be a hard no. Not an Elon fan boi, not a hater, but from a pragmatic standpoint he's not the right CEO for this phase of Tesla. A startup solving novel engineering problems, his skill set is very valuable. A company that needs to take care of...

Another important video about towing amongst the various models: TL;DW : Silverado went Denver to Grand Junction nonstop while towing a model 3 (against headwind in the latter half), and nonstop (through a snow storm in parts of) the way back.

File system partition format list should also include ext4 (tested on a 2023 MY). Have a larger stick coming from Temu, will try btrfs next just for kicks (as support for that is baked into most implementations of the Linux kernel anyway)

I'd be worried about heat damage to the terminal electronics from baking the summer sun...

Interesting take, especially with the giant jumps in Cd with ride height. Don't have time to watch the video at this moment, were these taken with wheels static or wheels rolling?

The 80% for continuous loads rule has nothing to do with a plug. Even hard wired installs can be dangerous if there's any single weak link in the chain. The charge rate CAN BE limited by the EVSE on the wall, or limited by the charge rate selected on the EV. Relying on limiting the amps via the...
