Why would Tesla not include this in the release notes? Yes it is a “minor fix”, but since they must have known about the NTSH recall notice, it would (in my view) have been more pro-active to counter negative comments to have it listed. That way the fix would have been known to be already...
Update on the original item, new Supercharger location in Campbell, CA:
The chargers are installed, an interesting arrangement.
Not seeing the batteries/transformers yet, will peek around the green shield tomorrow.
I just downloaded and installed 2025.38.3.2
.1 added TRON
.2 “minor bug fixes”
Since it is (passed) my bedtime here in CA I have not tried anything yet.
This is at Kirkwood plaza, corner W Campbell and San Thomas Aquino.
Last I was there (two weeks ago) green screens were blocking that corner of the parking lot for electrical work. Great location, several stores around it, and a Starbucks close by.
While I as owner/driver and thus familiar with the CT capabilities agree that the CT very likely can/will stop in time to not cause an accident, the driver of the car in front of me might feel very different if he sees me large and close in his rear view mirror. Just for that I would not mind if...
This is not an FSD update, so why are you expecting improvements in FSD behavior? So yes, we will have to wait for V14 (or is Tesla would do another v13 point version) to see meaningful full FSD changes.
This means that all FS CTs are less safe than the lower costs, lifetime super charging including, non-FS CTs sold since Q2 this year? Now it sucks even more to have not waited six months more. (Not really, really. Still happy with what it can do and does for my use cases. And if I would have...
No dry wipes on the 2x 20 minutes FSD drives. I had plenty of dry wipes when in FSD before, but during daytime. These two rides were in the evening, maybe that made a difference?
My CT was under a cover so I do not know when downloading started and how long it took. I got the message from the Tesla App Thursday late evening it was available, meaning download completed. Clicked Yes on the Install Now question, and I went to sleep. Found the Tesla App message that install...
I did not use destination chargers. Before the trip I thought about it, but I had decided to use “low cost” motels for the overnight stays (think Motel6, America Best Value Inn) and more or less assumed that type of motel would not have them. So during the trip I did not make it an amenity that...
You mention safety. Do you really think there are super charger locations that you want to avoid for safety? What would make a location unsafe?
Just curious, because all the locations that I have ever used never felt unsafe, or were in sketchy neighborhoods.
Assuming you were triggered by this notification? On my trip to TX I got it at every charging stop, regardless of how bus it was or how many stalls there were. I don’t recall seeing it earlier, maybe this is something Tesla added in a latest software release?
I believe this is just “info” that...
I did not drive from Brownsville back to DFW, only DFW to BV. Going back I went up to San Antonio, but then made a left to the west coast via i10.
What I do have is the Wh/mi from the different parts.
Down
FW to Temple : 386 (145mi)
Temple to Kenedy : 354 (187)
Kenedy to Mathis : 422 (55)...
Chill mode has drawbacks I don‘t want. I will try what is suggested below, toggle briefly to chill mode and then back. But I really would like it to be an option I can set, also in Standard mode.
FSD cancelling and re-engaging “feels“ different. You get the “why cancel” message, that you can...
Reads like a great trip.
Did you use FSD? All, or partly or not at all?
Did you keep tally of how much kWh in total you charged? How much more then consumed for driving?
