New Foundation Series Lots of alerts in Service Mode. Is this normal?

[jamescstein]

This is my first ever Tesla..

I took delivery of my Foundation Series on the 30th. We we looked at it the day before there was an Alignment alert on the screen. Technician said that was normal on a Demo unit and that it would be taken care of before delivery.

When we picked it up, no alert. But it came back within 1 mile after leaving the dealership/service center.

Reading online I learned about the Service Mode and the Steering Alignment Offset. I thought about resetting it as described on the page but I decided against it since I have a service appointment tomorrow. While in the Service Mode I took a look at the Service Alerts page and was quite disturbed.

4 pages of Alerts that go back to the 1st. I am assuming that the Service Alert display only goes back so far. Since I don't see any alerts from the 30th or 31st and I know the Steering Alignment Alert that is showing active was there on the 29th and was cleared, then re-appeared on the 30th.

Are all these resolved MIA alerts for ECU computers normal? Or is this indicative of a serious problem?

On a side note, the steering yoke is tilted to the left when driving in a straight line and FSD wants to ride the right line. Not close to it, but puts the right side tires right on the line so the truck in FSD mode is either riding the center line and over into the right lane on a multilane road or up against the curb/side of the road on if in the right lane or on a single lane road. What's odd is that the FSD display even shows the truck riding the line. I would assume if it didn't know really where the line was that it would show in in the middle of the lane, not driving on the line.

Autopark works and gets in the center of the parking space after quite a bit in and out shimmying to get there.

I'm also assuming that neither the line riding or the in and out adjusting on parking is normal.

Not staying centered in the lane is common to the last couple of updates. It shouldn't happen once FSD matures a bit more. CT FSD is behind other v4 hardware vehicles at the moment.

As for all the alerts. I have no idea. I'll look at mine after work.

My steering "wheel" is perfectly straight when driving straight, so your SC should be able to fix that.

When i got the truck steering wheel was off but after driving home parked the truck and the next day it was fixed on its on…

I picked up my CT AWD on 2/1/25 and was disappointed when I realized it didn't have FSD installed. I called Tesla and asked them if there was something I could do, and they said I just had to wait for the software update. They said it usually takes about a week to get it on new vehicles. Is this a real thing?

So tonight, I got curious and decided to get into the Service Mode and look around under the hood to see if I could find why my truck wasn't running the newest software. To my surprise, I have several Active Alerts and a bunch of Recent Alerts. I haven't gotten any Service Alerts on my dash or anything, so are any of these a concern or something I can fix on my end?

I assume u did scroll reboot and still see same errors ? Worth a chance to call 800 number and see if they can push software to you versus taking into service …what is ur year and VIn range ?

Weird getting a “version mismatch” straight from the factory, but the first update should take care of that.

Keep in mind that Service Mode is not intended for casual customer perusal, and logs rather verbosely.

Activate FSD while braking?
Alert.
Drive without a seatbelt?
Alert.
Open a door with the latch?
Alert.

If there’s a real problem requiring your attention, it will be displayed on the main screen.

Those alerts seem to be 'normal'. Whenever I look, I've got dozens just like that, it just seems to be very chatty. I asked the service guy once, but this was early on, and he said they were still dialing in the benchmarks to make the alerts less chatty.

I thought as much looking at the alerts. Its like they are not giving everything enough time to respond. Just wanted to know if it was normal given the other real issues I was seeing.

I did have a real problem however. The steering angle offset alert was actually for the yoke not the wheels.

After a re-alignment of the wheels, calibration of the yoke, and re-flashing the truck drives straight, FSD no longer hugs the right line, and auto-park no longer has to back in and out several times to park.
