The first mistake is buying a Tesla

[@PilotVBall]

If you drive your Tesla through storm water or any stagnant water that comes up high 13:02 the stink that the car will pickup from that water will have you wishing the flood water had just swept you away. Happened to me when in the dark I accidentally drove into a lake flash flood overflow that came up to the mirrors. That model S stunk for months. There was no getting the stench out. The car saved my life but the lingering stench was horrendous.

[@highhosilver4078]

Might recommend adding an annotation that you SHOULD charge to 100% if you have a base 2024 model 3/Y or newer (LFP Battery)

[@photofusionart]

For new M3 the manual says charge to 100% at least once per week!

[@dennizbernhardo6631]

yes with a LFP battery

[@JremiahJones]

@@dennizbernhardo6631 Correct

[@TM-hr6nv]

If I recall the reasoning for doing so with a LFP battery is that the computer needs to be able to calibrate/estimate "range" and needs the battery to be at 100% "at least once a week" to be most accurate. I would presume that the benefits of keeping the battery at a lower charge (i.e. faster charge time under 50%, less vampire drain etc. etc.) would still be apparent.

[@dabbingduskullz]

If it’s flooded forget it

[@raymondguzman2162]

I must of did something bad for my range to go from 358 to 325

[@overdriver99]

lots of people damages their truck door of Tesla Model Y by opening inside garage. The full opening range of trunk is usually higher so it can reach garage opener chain on ceiling, or raised garage door. only way you can avoid is to limit trunk door opening range. you can hold open/close button to set the limit of opening range.

[@congjuny]

I would consider that a design defect. The garage door has a standard size. They should have taken that into consideration. Another thing is that the low beam is way too high. I had to adjust it big time the first time I drove it at night. Otherwise, you will be very annoying.

[@paulclementyonkers4604]

At 3:11, you say that the Tesla supercharge station "resets" your max charge automatically. If you looked around, there were probably more than a few Teslas still charging when you plugged in. The drop to 80% was because of the large number of vehicles using the station at the same time. This is to lower the power draw on the network, not to protect your vehicle. You can still increase the charge limit when some of the other vehicles finish.

[@dfgriggs]

Hi, Paul. I don't think the auto-drop-to-80% is to reduce the power draw on the site -- the site can (and would) reduce power without any need of reducing the maximum percentage charge. Rather, because charging beyond 80% is *much* slower per kWh -- and because it's often not needed to get to your destination -- Tesla wants to nudge you to stop charging and free up the dispenser. On the whole this benefits all drivers. I don't think, BTW, you need to wait for any cars to leave when you're auto-set to 80% -- you can up the charge limit immediately, can't you?

[@dfgriggs]

P.S. and by nudging drivers away from slowly nursing their cars up to 100% charge -- at lower and lower power rates -- it frees up the dispenser for a (very probably) low state-of-charge vehicle to start charging -- significantly *increasing* the power draw, but speeding folks along their journeys.

[@rickslife]

Also when it sets you to an 80% charge there is usually a message that pops up on your screen: “High Usage Station - Max Charge Set To 80%”

[@ghostelfantasma7041]

👻 The high-usage 80% message you are seeing (the kick down from 90% or 100%) is only changed in your Tesla when your at a fast Tesla charger and it’s FULL. Meaning, all the stalls are full. They do this to help move the waiting line along if there is a line. You can just manually bump it back up to 90%-100%. Just a quick correction for you all. Cool video 👻

[@odiouslee4312]

Not FULL.........but "High Usage." I've been to superchargers that weren't full but there were a lot of people charging and it lowered my charge limit to 80%.

[@aptwo916]

Is that so? no wonder sometime I see it stays the same and sometimes it forces the limit to 80%. Interesting.

[@JremiahJones]

Inserting my response to another similar comment - "While that might be true, I personally believe it's also to reduce the amount of people dc fast charging at the top end of their battery. Tesla is able to pull real time data of how busy the supercharger is and I've always had it back my charge limit down. Even if it's at 1am and the supercharger is dead empty."

[@MrDerekRobinson]

@myTesla it's not a "might be true" it's a fact. People are waiting to charge, and if you're on a road trip of any kind, you don't need to be charging to 90 or 100% when down the road. There will be more chargers. They want you to charge some and make space for others as of courtesy. It doesn't have anything to do with damage or extra wear to your battery as others have stated, a manual override is optional but it's also why the charge becomes slow when you're at a high state of charge in general because they don't want you hogging a stall and why they charge you 50 cents per minute after your car stops charging, even if you max limit it to 60 percent and the car reaches that and then stops. It's 50 cents a minute cost. At anything over 60% you're less likely a priority to others needing to charge and depending on where you charge, it costs more at a low state of charge based on tiers or on the east cost and the time of day it's a higher cost per kw. The charging system is designed to make the most profit and that comes from people who need to charge and not the cars that don't really need it as bad so that's how they get you to move........clever profit strategies and when it's not busy they prefer to keep you around then and only then.

[@Narinjas]

I recommend the lowest battery to be between 20% and 30% , while maximum being between 70% and 80%... Having 40% to 60% battery capacity is enough range for most daily needs, only push it further if you really need it for a weekend trip, also super charging only when time limited, because yes, it degrades the battery faster, so avoid, but not at all costs. (Level 2 destination charging is the best way to charge, and should be implemented in all working and resting places (hotels, living accommodations).

[@tylermills79]

I live pretty close to work and don’t do a lot of miles per day so I set mine at 60% for daily. The first time I road tripped with my model 3 I did the 100% charge to start the trip and quickly realized it was wholly unnecessary. The next few trips I just started off at 80% and just let it supercharge until it says ready to continue trip. The first trip in electric is kinda scary so I over charge but only a few stops in quickly realized the car knows what it’s doing and there’s no need to worry. Best road trips I’ve ever taken and being former military and getting stationed in places like Alaska I’ve done a lot lol.

[@JremiahJones]

Nice! I was the same way with overcharging but quickly realized these are Tesla's we're talking about with an extremely reliable charging network.

[@ozone7]

Agree! Charging to 100% is really only relevant when you are trying to "go there and come home again" without supercharging! Those of us who have "free" charging at home or work, want to avoid superchargers as much as possible. But of course: when going too far from home, I calculate how little I have to charge to reach the most practical supercharger enroute with as little remaining charge as possible! (to get as fast charging as possible)

[@msawyer91]

Great call-out for going lower than 80% if you have a short commute. For me in Michigan, 80% is good because it can get pretty chilly here in the winter. I live half an hour north of Detroit, but work in downtown Detroit--but my kids go to school north of where we live. So, that's some extra back and forth and charging to 80% definitely makes sense if it's really cold. We have J1772 chargers in the parking garage at work. If it's really cold out, especially if close to or below freezing, sometimes I'll go move my car to one of the charging stalls and plug in about half an hour before I plan to leave. While I may not get a whole lot of range in 20-30 minutes, I can precondition and warm the battery before I get rolling.

[@OwenKelly05]

I have a 2023 Model 3 RWD with 1800 miles and I use autopilot frequently. I got a message the other day that the car detected an autopilot bypass device. I wasn't using one and I've never used one. I hope this system won't affect your safety score in a future update, especially if it falsely detects these bypasses.

[@JremiahJones]

There have been some reports of this happening after a recent update where Tesla "upped" the cars sensitivity of detecting these counterweights. If you have you hand sitting in the same spot, applying the same amount of force, in the same direction, it thinks you have a counterweight.

[@OwenKelly05]

@@JremiahJones interesting. Because I wasn’t touching the wheel when I got the message. I usually let it drive and I keep my hands off the wheel until it notifies me to apply a slight force.

[@Bman893]

Yes Tesla supposedly added software code to try to detect the counterweights but all it did was make it super sensitive and now people that have never even used a counterweight it goes off on and to anyone asking does it count against your driver's score it most definitely does which is complete b******* you could use a counterweight and it never say anything and you be completely fine and you could also never in your life use a counterweight hell you could even never even heard of it and it go off in your car three times and it lowers your driver score each time which is not the end of the world unless you have Tesla insurance so that means this stupid f****** code they added could have cost you more and your insurance because they have it glitched out it was a b******* code to try to correct an issue nobody's having they should be more worried about their phantom breaking and less about the hundred people that have a f****** counterweight lol

[@CheapCheerful]

Great tip re: backing in to see the curb. The side cameras even help when driving into a parking spot and ensuring you're in the middle.

[@Sadjina]

Man, that backing up tip to avoid curbing the wheels... So obvious now I hear it. Just curbed my winter tire performance 20" rims going into a parking spot front first. Hope I've learned now...

[@yssubed2]

Since I live in Canada, I don't have a choice but to drive in the cold!! What I have noticed is that range isn't terribly effected if the road is dry and you're driving at normal speeds.My general winter efficiency seems to be about 7% worse than what I experienced in late summer/fall. However, the slicker the road and the slower you have to drive, efficiency can really drop. I was on a road trip a few weeks back, driving through freezing rain/ sleet /snow and got stuck behind a series of snow plows that were driving at 50 kmh (30 mph). Range was pretty terrible - down about 40% from normal.

[@elainebradley8213]

Slushy roads affect us but we're pleasantly surprised how well we're doing so far with our model 3 rear wheel drive.

[@larsw.larsen4173]

Guess heating the Cabin ect … turns battery into heat instead of miles, when going slow = low milies effiency I guess. Driving faster would give your better milage at the same heating use .. I guess. The same for Ice cars .. they produce heat whenever driving slow or fast.

[@Bman893]

Bad roads can definitely affect your range but it's nowhere as impactful as the biggest issue which is temperature a cold battery is a Karen battery lol if you precondition your car in cold weather or just leave it parked inside a heated garage you will likely never run into these issues The problem with cold weather and electric cars is cold soaking a battery pack which is one of those detrimental things you can do to a EV even more so than rapid supercharging constantly. I'd be more worried about leaving your car out in the cold constantly then supercharging everyday.. but that goes with degradation You're talking more about range and yes your Tesla could still get decent range when it's cold out road conditions do not play a huge part in range in this matter it is almost 95 % battery temp and energy consumption using heating which is really bad if you have a pre-2021 car with no heat pump

LFP batteries do not like being charged to a 100%, it is only needed for range accuracy but causes degredation as well. However, because they got longer lifespan it isnt an issue to charge fully once a week

[@timestes9455]

I was driving a Model 3 Tesla, and a couple weeks ago massive floods hit our area. My car got caught in some of the worst of it and the car sat in mid-thigh high water for a long period of time. Water got in everywhere. The sub trunk, the cabin, the middle divider. So much damage was done to the vehicle, that insurance said it was a "total loss." Yes, Teslas are no boats. The sink, they don't swim...

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

Dropping frunk in A 2013 causes latch mechanism to not unlock easy later down the road. Edit: 90% daily is ok and perfect in my opinion. Owned our S since 2018, original battery 140k miles.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

I have a 2021 Model 3 SR+ (not the LFP battery) and I daily charge to 90% as well. Never had any problems and no noticeable battery degredation so far. With DC fast charging you charge what you need to get to the next stop, charging more is counter productive and makes you wait longer with no advantage.

[@Vermeulenisdenaam]

10:36 Backing up when parking: (Read in Mandalorian voice) "this is THE WAY" It makes SO much sense to back up for ANY car; your turning wheels are at the front, you can make a much steeper and precise turn while parking and it's much easier to leave the parking spot afterwards too. There is in my opinion no good reason why you would want to move into a parking spot driving forward, only for being lazy, ignorant or in a very peculiar situation where your forced to park forwards. But that's just my very humble opinion :D

[@dathyr1]

Hi Jeremiah, Question on #11 precondition battery - I don't quite understand what you said - "To precondition the battery turn on the "What?" Can't make out what you said. Yes it is nicer to hand wash any car, but what do you do in the winter time where in Illinois we have snow, ice, and allot of salt. How do you get the salt off of the underframe without going to a car wash???? Is the car body that sensitive to doing car washes?? What if I put a coating of wax on the body would that protect the paint better in car washes? Note: No way I would hand wash a car in the winter time. The car would be in a home garage, but still we are talking 30 degrees and trying to wash a cold vehicle. Note: I don't have an EV right now, but trying to learn about the Tesla. Some of the things you mention I have heard in other videos. Thank you for the tips and take care

[@msawyer91]

Turn on your climate control to warm your cabin. If it's cold enough, you'll also see (in the app) that the battery is being warmed.

[@quintonstevens]

I love my RWD being able to daily charge to 100% , meaning I get the full 270 miles of range every day. For other Tesla's forcing to charge to like 80% ends up being the same range as the standard range for daily range capabilities. Only really makes a difference on road trips when you charge to 100% which is like a twice a year type situation for me so not really the end of the world when it means saving $10k+

[@gus-ek4im]

I have a 2020 m3 sr+ is my battery the one that prefers to go to 100? Lol

[@windyantooo8786]

@@gus-ek4im check you battery type. If it is LFP, then yes, it can be charged to full daily. And this is how you can check the battery type, according to tesla’s manual.

If your vehicle is equipped with an LFP battery, "High Voltage Battery type: Lithium Iron Phosphate" is listed. If your vehicle does not have an LFP battery, the high voltage Battery type is not specified.

[@MrDerekRobinson]

@gus 3087 it's not a preference. It's simply the newer batteries have better longevity under the conditions of users frequently 100% charging in the long run in comparison to the older generation batteries. These newer cars aren't making recommendations to charging to 100% because that would be like saying if you can't possibly charge it to 100%, then you got a bad deal or something. That's not what the message is about

For the boat thing, I actually hope, they will get there, having a water tight submersible vehicle is a lifesaver in the flooding seasons, and should be way easier to do on an electric vehicle, and should be an option that is expensive because it needs to be tested before delivering the vehicle to the customer, and it needs to be practically an 100% factory new vehicle, but with testing done.

[@modernNeanderthal800]

I try to only in charge of the 90% when I'm going long-range, but from what I've been learning about batteries in general is that it might not be bad to have it at 100% if you're going to immediately drain it back down below 80%. There's basically scars on the crystals that effectively are the actual parts of the battery that make the energy chargeable, and those scars deepen as the battery is stressed. Not only with high charge but under other stressful factors as well

Hi, I witnessed a German automatic twin arch 6 x brush auto wash once demonstrated at a trade show "washing" a car DRY, (yep no water) continuously with no discernible surface damage to the paint after several days..

Ok to charge the newer M3 to 100%. From Tesla 09/2022: The Tesla Model 3 RWD's battery pack uses the LFP chemistry which Tesla recommends charging to 100% at least once per week. Tesla recommends setting the charge limit to 100% for daily use. The Tesla Model 3 Long Range and Performance variants uses a different chemistry referred to as NMC.

i normally rest my arm on armrest and hold the wheel on the side while driving normally which on autopilot frequently thinks im not holding the wheel.

I understand that lfp batteries don't actually prefer to be charged to 100%. They 1) have such a remarkably constant discharge voltage that it is difficult for the car to gauge their state of charge without frequent calibration, and 2) such a huge cycle life that it doesn't matter much if they are often charged to 100%, even if it slightly reduces their life.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

Yeah they didn't really word that properly. It's not that they "prefer" being charged to 90%, they just aren't potentially damaged by it the way NCA batteries are. (Granted even NCA batteries are only degraded by it if you do it too frequently.)

also LFP charges faster hot (60°C) and performs best in the middle, sensitive when low and sensitive when high.

Any info on extension cords? no no right? Using Tesla Superchargers only up to 80% with no daily commute? and last for long drives... and front pumper Tesla Bras? protection against paint chipping by those little rocks on long drives? thank you

[@msawyer91]

As someone who leased two Chevy Volts, owned a 2020 Model 3, and now owns a 2024 Model Y, I've seen that extension cords are a "religious debate", not unlike all season tires vs. summer/winter tires. As a general rule, extension cords are frowned upon, especially longer cords (greater than 25 feet). The longer the run, the higher the resistance and therefore the higher the heat. If you're using the portable charger on a 120V outlet, make sure you're not using a cheap $1-2 outlet. Spend the money and get a "hospital grade" outlet (you're going to spend more like $10-15 for the outlet), but it is designed for heavier, continuous, high-current loads. If you use an extension cord, get a heavy gauge cord and don't get anything longer than 25 feet. Expect to spend $30-40 on the cord. A heavy gauge cord is going to be heavy (weight-wise) and a lot stiffer than cheap 14- or 16-gauge cords. A good heavy gauge cord, like 12/3, will work but is rated only for 15A @ 120V. Even 10 gauge extension cords I looked at on Home Depot are rated for 15A. You're going to trickle charge. Now if you're looking to go with 220/240V, and you have an RV extension cord, go by the rating on the cord and follow the 80% rule. If your RV cord says 40A, set your charging rate to a maximum of 32A.

@@msawyer91Also use Tesla products (charging equipment) not something i can get from amazon, which they say its Tesla specs. Otherwise Tesla will void the warranty! Thank you sir.

[@msawyer91]

@@SamTranceForce you won't void your warranty using non-Tesla charging equipment. When I bought a Model 3 back in 2020, I had a Schneider EVlink in my garage from my previous car, a Chevy Volt. I charged my Model 3 for months before ordering a Tesla wall adapter. At my work there are CharePoing stations, and at a local mall they have Eaton charging stations. Tesla has never come out and said we must use only Tesla charging equipment. They wouldn't make J1772 or CCS adapters since all native Tesla charging equipment uses only NACS.

used to have FSD subscription when I purchased my TeslaM3P a little over a year ago.. recently canceled it… The only thing I miss is stop light and sign recognition! Also very odd just had that warning pop up! The cheat device! And nothing was there! It was probably because I was holding the steering wheel weird?Idk but I was so confused! 😭

[@fdelaneau]

Note that LFP batteries don’t like to be charged to 100% but Tesla do recommend to charge them at 100% as they don’t have a solution to know the amount of energy left in the battery. Il-ion battery power fades as the battery is drained and Tesla uses this to guesstimate the battery charge. LFP doesn’t fade and thus the safest way to compute the percentage left is to start at 100%. As LFP have a much larger number of cycles Tesla seems to think it is a good trade of. Experts still do recommend to charge at 80% when you can. Just know that the range guesstimate will be less accurate.

mine came deffective right side window have air gap i can hear it when im driving.. only on right side...

[@peteroffpist1621]

100% charge time to ideal depends in outside temperatures, if you live in a cold climate 8 hours I no problem if you live in a warm climate and if you have a NMC battery better to leave sooner . If you have a LFP you must charge to 100% at least one a week and still leave the car over night fully charged.

[@nancygroves3578]

When charging at home is it better to use 120 or 240 volts?

[@michaellovell3145]

Very helpful tips! Thanks from Mike in Sydney, NSW Australia 😎🦘

[@roizig]

Nice video. What would you recommend- charge at home to 100% or charge lower and use Supercharger on the way to the destination? Get home with 3% or use Supercharger on the way home? Thank you 🙏

The Tesla manual tells me to charge my LFP battery to 100%

[@AltoTheGod]

Tip from pro Detailer : use Ph neutral cleaner (such as Griots Garage Interior Cleaner (not interior detailer) And follow up with. 9:1 distilled water to IPA (isopropyl alcohol) ON EVERY SURFACE (not glass or fabric) And coat it all with Chemical Guys VRP cream via applicator pad. No better way to protect the seats, steering wheel, dash, interior & exterior trim

[@primalmanagement]

I recently spoke with an employee at our local Tesla service center about LFP batteries, and he emphatically said NOT to leave LFP BATTERIES charged to 100% or they WILL degrade. I suggest that you double check your advice that, “LFPs like being charged to 100%.”

[@colbyconner3206]

You’re mostly right. LFP doesn’t like to sit at 100 but the degradation isnt nearly as bad. What it needs however is to go to 100 every so often to recalibrate the bms and rebalance the batteries.

[@TheBassPlayer777]

Good points thank you. I have had to use my 2021 Model 3 Long Range during flooding last year and it was unavailable . It performed exceptionally well even when a tosser in a 4WD went the other way way too fast and his bow wave was higher than our roof. We were completely underwater for a second or 2 which was pretty scary but the Tesla was perfect. During a follow up warranty call for a tyre noise I asked for a complete health check (I didn’t tell them why lol), Tesla said it was 100% perfect.

[@lisazhou7776]

thank you, I am a new owner, these information is very helpful

[@e1234-b9l]

Pretty sure it switches to the 80% limit when the super charger has a high frequency of use, not because it is "high power"

[@JremiahJones]

While that might be true, I personally believe it's also to reduce the amount of people dc fast charging at the top end of their battery. Tesla is able to pull real time data of how busy the supercharger is and I've always had it back my charge limit down. Even if it's at 1am and the supercharger is dead empty.

[@ciggieee]

@@JremiahJones Cars with an LFP battery are recommended to be charged to 100% regularly

[@Bman893]

A supercharger doesn't do anything the car does all the corrections..if the network is telling the car that is a high use charge it will tell the car to limit charge to 80%"you can easily override this tho"also if you supercharger very often your car will limit power as a failsafe to protect your battery from degregation. Other supercharged limitation I've heard of is on older models Tesla did push a update that limited older cars to racing maximum of 100 kw because they didn't want the older batteries that weren't designed with constant supercharging in mind to start degrading extremely fast but I think they rectified that issue months after they pushed it

[@robertsvoboda8865]

so to confirm a M3 with the LFP battery pack are you saying we should charge daily to 100%?

Will I void any warranty by adding a power frunk on my 2022 MYP?

[@msawyer91]

Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (applies to the USA), your warranty cannot be automatically voided just because you made DIY repairs or added aftermarket components. Technically your warranty cannot be voided even if you break a "warranty void if removed" sticker on your Xbox because you want to install an SSD in place of a hard drive. With that in mind, Tesla CAN void a specific warranty repair if they determine your aftermarket component caused the failure. Let's say you install the power frunk, and your rear motor fails. Tesla can't void your warranty on the basis of the power frunk because there's no way the power frunk could've caused the rear motor to fail. On the other hand, let's say you're opening your frunk, one of the struts snaps, and the hood crashes down, bends, and cracks your windshield. Tesla could deny that warranty claim because they could argue that a non-OEM part caused the failure and subsequent damage.

I have a Y... is there a way to roll up or roll down windows from your phone?

[@markwaters5578]

Nearest supercharger is 250 miles away and on another island, unfortunately. Hawaii even though it has plenty of Tesla's, it still not super ev friendly.

[@youngeshmoney]

Also, I recommend not preconditioning if you're really low and heading to a supercharger with the estimated arrival range within a few miles of the distance to get there. It'll use range and you can potentially run out of range. The extra five minutes preconditioning saves isn't worth it.

[@heythave]

Are you able to force the car from preconditioning then?

[@youngeshmoney]

@@heythave no, it preconditions automatically when you navigate to a charger, and you can't stop it. Just can't navigate to the charger. I know, it's counterintuitive, but if you're really cutting it close, say you have 8 miles of range and the supercharger is 5 miles away, I'd turn off the navigation so it doesn't preconditioning, because running the heat pump will use most of that range and your car will die, trust me, I know🤣🤣

[@heythave]

@@youngeshmoney Yes, turn off navigation.

[@AchillesWrath1]

@@heythave Yes, i figured this out the first time i rented a tesla and had to charge it. You don't have to turn off navigation to force it to not precondition. If you know where a supercharging station is like a mall for instance just type in the mall's location and that wont precondition. If you set your navigation directly to a supercharging station from the navigation screen using the little lightnign bolt button that brings up all the superchargers then it will.

[@heythave]

@@AchillesWrath1 Ah, ok. Very useful input .

[@KelelaSB]

I suggest adding some titling on #3 to clarify that if your car has LFP batteries then stoking to 100% is not only acceptable but recommended by Tesla.

What exactly is a touch car wash? The automatic drive through washes? Or when employees at a wash clean your car?

[@JremiahJones]

Brushes that touch your car

[@luislongoria6621]

The automatic drive thru kind which has been known to eat car radio antennas in addition to the occasional spoiler

[@msawyer91]

I've used regular touch car washes for years, but I'm getting PPF on my new Model Y and the owner of the shop that's installing the PPF said these kind of car washes should generally be avoided. An occasional use of one probably won't hurt anything, he said, but regular use of them could cause the PPF to start peeling over time. There are plenty of touchless car washes around me, and during the warmer months I can just wash the car in my driveway and save the $$ of the wash. I wash a lot more in the winter, however, because I'm in Michigan and our roads are heavily salted.

[@cliffx7]

2:55 yeah dude it’s smarter to make more stops if you have a Tesla supercharger every hundred miles, but if you live in Columbia Tennessee and you’re driving to Arcadia Florida, you’re gonna have to use that supercharger to 100% most times 90% of the time

I'm waiting on confirmation for the replacement of USS, in whatever form it may come in before I place my order for a MSP, but I don't want to miss out on the substantial price decrease for this vehicle either 🤔. If I wait to long they may raise the price and never deliver any replacement, HW4 or Radar. I doubt Tesla will offer a free retrofit for the replacement of USS if I were to order now. Please let me know you thoughts, Thanks!

[@colbyconner3206]

Just wait for HW4. The current state of vision is hardware limited, they can’t fix it without new hardware. FSD will need the new high res radar to work better too. Tesla has enough competition prices won’t significantly increase.

[@bobuk5722]

Software performance limit bypass. Installing one of these will invalidate your insurance. That would be very expensive if you were caught. Not just repair costs - think about the personal injury claims against you.

[@911awakening]

I have my Model Y charging set at 80% charge, sometimes having to charge every other day if the charge is less than 45%… Honestly I don’t recall having to “fuel” my prior car as often… my theory is the sentry mode that consumes much of the charge… any advice?

[@john101eng]

Sentry mode consumes 1 mile per hour of usage. If you have a garage, u can turn it off.

[@benkanobe7500]

A Correction: Your Tesla Will Not go back to 80% if you have it set to 100% (highly recommend if you are a new Tesla owner and are leaving your car to charge while you shop or eat for the first few times). It Will Go Back if the Tesla Charging Station (like the warning on his screenshot) is in high use. Then your car will automatically adjust to 80% simply to get more Teslas in and out of the Supercharging stations quickly. You can if you need just simply slide the charging limit right back up to 100% if your car automatically brought the limit down to 80% when you first plugged in (due to the Station being in high use).

[@matthewturner261]

5:24 talking about the ghost chip type situation where you’re tampering with the car’s software. is there any reason tesla would come after the auto frunk? because i placed an order for a model x plaid and i am planning on installing the auto frunk mod because i think it will be more useful and better for my circumstances. but i don’t want tesla to not get software updates or come after me in any way for that.
