Just got a message from Tesla (in the app) saying my light bar is available for installation. This is for a '24 beast, and I've been removing it from the service list every time I take it in for service for the last year or so as I never liked the glue and figured I'd wait to see what, if...
A lot of folks comment about their CTs, on FSD, riding the line. I'd just read some complaints about this, and I happened to be playing with an AI song generator.
This is the result. Enjoy :-)
So, I was fortunate enough to receive the "RSVP to join us at the 2025 Shareholder Meeting" email and did so.
After RSVP'ing, it says "Your Submission Has Been Received. This is a limited capacity event, but we will send a confirmation email once we've confirmed attendance numbers."
Does...
Anyone else have this going on? It started happening while driving a few weeks ago. I made a service appt on the app, and they estimated $253 (?!). Seems like it ought to be a warranty item, though I'm past the one year mark. (CB, 20k VIN)
Pardon the dog slobber....
Just a data point: I got the new pixel 10 pro phone, and it charges in the truck better than my old pixel 8 pro. Slow, at ~4 watts or so, but it doesn't get as hot as the pixel 8 did. Spigen case on or off didn't seem to make a difference.
I'm more comfortable using the built-in phone cradle as...
I like that they're trying harder to accept feedback and let the submitter know it's not going into a black hole.
Administrator update:
In an effort to improve customer communication, Tesla has unveiled a new feedback system called Tesla Echo. This web-based tool, available at ts.la/feedback...
I was just doing some slow speed maneuvering in tight spaces, and noticed that I was steering with two fingers again. I'm running 2025.20.6 - did they revert the steering changes they made a few weeks ago? Seems like it went back to golf cart mode, which I much prefer anyway.
Just wondering...
I was looking for a flag mount for the CT on Amazon, and came across these things:
3-in-1 Multi-Functional FlagPole Holder for Tesla Cybertruck 2024-2025,with Hook and Bottle Opener,cybertruck moll Flag Mount,l Track Accessories,L Track Flag Holder(Tube ID 1.18")
I ordered a pair, as they're...
A nice review from Clean Technica.
Some positivity to counteract the daily hate.
"The looks of the Cybertruck are polarizing, but if you can get over that, there’s an immense amount of functionality packed into it that is truly groundbreaking for not just trucks or electric vehicles, but...
I'm using the rubber floor liners my CB came with, and so have just been staring at these things in my garage for the last six months. They're still in the original plastic.
Anyone in the greater Tacoma/Kitsap Peninsula area want them? No charge, but I wouldn't say no to coffee and a donut. :)
Was out on the deck this morning and heard the Roomba in the kitchen beep. Weird. Then I got a notification on my phone that the my CB had switched to powershare mode and was powering the house.
Turns out there is a system-wide power outage in my area (~35k people) - but, because of the...
The other night, I noticed FSD avoid a hard-to-see raccoon in the lane which I think is an improvement over a couple release ago. This afternoon, FSD gracefully made space for some dog walkers, maneuvered around a garbage truck that was stopping and starting, and then handled a flagger...
Had the truck since July, and still love to drive it every day. I've lately developed a new routine to wind down if I haven't been in it running errands all day. Late night, I'll hop in the truck with the dog and we'll let FSD take us for a drive while I crank some tunes.
I don't set a...
I've read in multiple places that some people have access to a version of the Tesla Android app that enables viewing of Sentry Mode clips. This appears to be version 4.43.5-3224. On my phone, however, when I check for updates via the Google Play Store, only my currently installed version...
I took the truck to Cirque du Soleil in Redmond, WA, this past weekend and used FSD for 95% of it, as I do. (There is a mapping/planning issues at the interchange of SR16 onto I-5N in Tacoma that cause it to leave the carpool lane flyover for some reason.)
The final mile or so of driving was...
First, I have no relationship to Abstract Ocean other than being a surprised and happy customer. I live in the PNW, and rain is a frequent occurrence. In my experience, rain and wet roads tend to make the stock rear camera nearly useless as it quickly gets a film of water on it and vision...
I've seen a number of threads complaining about FSD in these forums, so I thought I'd take a contrarian approach and report on the excellent experience we just had on a weekend road trip.
Most of the drive was winding two-lane roads, getting to and including the PCH between Lincoln City and...
I got the 2024.33.15 update last night, took the truck for a drive and everything was working fine. This afternoon however when I went to go run an errand, the truck had no connectivity. The little cell signal icon that showed no coverage, and I couldn't get the truck to connect to my phone's...
