Thank you for posting about this and possible remedies for dust. I live in dusty southern Arizona and off a dirt road: dust gets into everything. I will have to look into getting a pressure washer. Dust is not something that would have been on my radar of things to worry about on a trip like yours.

I have a situation where FSD tries to turn on a soon to be road in a new development that is not yet built out to get to my house. The neighbors worked with the developer and no roads in this new neighborhood are supposed to connect to ours. There is an old, old, dirt jeep trail in existence...

That is crazy when you stop and think about it! I did that with my first Tesla, Model X P100D, added ludicrous. Bought online, never even talked to a rep, never test drove one. Same with the CT. What sold me was my partner had bought a Model S and I was driving it so much, I thought I'd better...

I'm not a chill mode kind of driver! Tried it once and said, nope! Can't drive like this.

Follow-up and end of story! I'm picking up my Beast today, as Tesla now says it is fixed! What the technician found was one of the connectors responsible for determining the HV battery current was not properly seated, causing a lack of information needed by the HV management system. As well as...

Seems like they could swap it out if that is the case. Service just messaged me and said bring it by anytime if it won't charge at all. I told her I was able to charge at a Supercharger yesterday, but that was before the HVBATT alert. I'd like to get it over there sooner than later before...

Read my post about what happened this morning. 2 HVBATT alerts. Something is going on with the HV battery and I'm thinking now that discrepancy is part of it. Service appointment next Tuesday but I asked to get in sooner if possible. Thanks for your message, all that info given to me didn't make...

Yes, new Foundation Series. Bought with the promotions. I was told build date was 9/24. I can't imagine sitting around all that time would have caused problems, I hope not.

Update on this: I was going to drive it a couple hours today, but getting 2 HVBATT alerts: one, it put it in turtle mode twice: yesterday then again this morning; two, it would not charge on my wall charger nor on 110 outlet. Thinking all this might be related to the mileage showing. In any...

That's what I'm thinking. Tomorrow's drive should help. Guess I'm just being paranoid.

No, I've been driving a Model X since 2018. I use both % and miles. My other Cyberbeast, I've had for a year, it has a rated range of 301 miles and it always shows that when at 100%. I do charge it to 100% for day trips where there is no supercharger and I need the range, but it never stays...

I don't think that's going to be accurate because it was a very short drive, only a few miles. Also it was very hot, 101 degrees. I guess I will wait and see what it does tomorrow. I looked up my records for the other one and it only had 15 miles on it when I picked it up. I don't remember this...

The Cyberbeast is supposed to have a 301 mile range, so 86% should be 259 miles but it says 183. The truck only has 29 miles on it and Tesla says it takes some time to stabilize. Just wanted to know other experiences on this: is this low mileage normal for a new vehicle, how long did it take to...

Sure it was. And rechecking the connection was the second thing I did this morning, after checking the top wire as in 1) to make sure that was done.

Please let us know if it works/fits. I'm in Arizona too and don't relish having my new lightbar fly off.

Thank you all for your help, I got it working this morning. You were right @REM , I just didn't push the connector in hard enough.

They changed the wiring and you don't have to solder wires anymore as is shown in that video. Nor did Tesla give me any extra wire to do so.

Thanks, I was pretty sure it was just a 'make absolutely sure' procedure. I guess I will take it apart again, maybe I just didn't push the connectors together tight enough. I had the B pillar on my head (I didn't completely take it off so it was like a lid) and was trying to do that while...

OK, maybe this got lost in the discussion, but do you have to disconnect the MV battery for this procedure or not? Thanks. I'm still trying to figure out where I went wrong and Tesla is not answering me back about the battery question.

I'm not sure, I think so, but I wasn't really paying attention but I can see where the red part is hooked in. The worst part was trying to get the weatherstripping back into place so I hate to take it apart again.
