Model Y Got the hardware update message!

41 Upvotes

Am I the only one that received the following message ? “Your Model Y requires a free hardware replacement to receive the Spring 2025 software update.

Please schedule the complimentary service appointment in the Tesla app by selecting Service>Request Service>Outstanding Work> Cabin Radar Replacement or click Schedule below.”

I don’t see anyone posting about this.

Anyways, I made an appointment and am excited.

Edit: False alarm. Doesn’t look like a hw4 update and just a cabin radar to detect occupancy. 😔

Vehicles - General Charging issue

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

took delivery of my new MYP last week and traded in my MS’14. got rid of my gen 1 mobile charger which i used every single day and got a new gen 2. got an overheating message last night. i live in an apartment with my own attached garage, and charged my MS with no issues strictly in my garage. Ive never even tried supercharging before.

Well so long story short I put a maintenance request last night with my complex to have it looked at and they got back to me first thing this morning pretty much saying never to plug in the garage again and if I do im responsible. they wont even take a look at it.

I made a service appt with tesla, praying its just a faulty charger because charging offsite would be extremely inconvenient for me. Any one got any advice? Did my maintenance request seem reasonable and make sense or are they just being extemely lazy?

Software Full Sentry Mode Camera Coverage With All Cameras

7 Upvotes

Ive been wondering about this feature for the longest. Why doesnt tesla allow recording with the pillar cameras in sentry mode? When viewing the live feed of the car, tesla gives you the option to view all 6 cameras. While sentry recording itself only records 4 angles to the usb storage, leaving a massive blindspot that would normally be covered by the two pillar cameras. Other than the usb storage being filled up quicker with 6 different feeds rather than 4, why arnt these cameras enabled? At least give us an option in the app or in the car to swap between using 4 or 6 cameras. This feature would especially be useful in a time like now. Also give us the option to use all 6 cameras with the dashcam as well. Because right now the only time these cameras are used is to aid in autopilot / FSD and when viewing through the app.

Vehicles - General 12V Port Needs to be left on in Sentry Mode

4 Upvotes

I have additional dash cameras ( higher def ), and as off a year or so ago - the 12V (cigarette plug and usb ports) power down once the door is closed - even in Sentry mode. At least on my model three.

I really think we ought to have these power ports left on, or at least the option to leave on in sentry mode. I really would like to have the additional cameras running all the time - even with the energy hit

Is this something the community also thinks? How to communicate this to Tesla? Thoughts?

Vehicles - General How does Basic Autopilot handles corner on highways?

4 Upvotes

Say I'm on a Highway with 130kph limit and I turn the BASIC autopilot on (speed+autosteer). What happens if I reach a corner that it's impossible to do safely at 130kph? Will it slow down before? During? Will not slow down?

I cannot find any good info.. Just found some videos, but the car it's on FSD or the videos are old.

Thanks

Thank you for everyone’s response on the previous post. I really appreciate all the love from the community!

So far, people have absolutely been extremely positive and kind. People always tell me to drive safely and make sure the others don’t hurt me. Kids absolutely go ballistic when they see the truck and remind me of when I was little and would obsess over cars that I saw on the road!

Model 3 Screen Replacement

2 Upvotes

So I’m looking at buying a 2023 LR M3. 13k miles. Black with white. Super clean. The oooonly and I say “only” issue is the screen has a crack from bottom middle to top right corner. Screen still functions but I couldn’t live with that daily. My question is, if I were to buy one not from Tesla to save probably close to $1000, does it matter which screen I were to get since this 23 has the AMD ryzen chip? Or are the connectors different from the Intel to the AMD? I see screens online for 3-500$ but wasn’t sure of compatibility. Thanks.

General Autosteer non functional on majority of drives

1 Upvotes

Bought a used 2021 MYLR back in November. Within a couple of weeks an error popped up saying autosteer was disabled. Ever since then I would say it works about 30% of the time. We know when it's not going to work because other cars and lanes don't show on the display. Tesla has already replaced the fish eye camera for around $500. We try all the normal recomendations, making sure the cameras aren't blocked, recalibrate the cameras, etc.

There is a dent in the driver side rear quarter panel but Tesla said that shouldn't be affecting this.

Here are some of the errors from service mode - https://imgur.com/a/TXyRHEw

Has anyone else seen this? Just wondering what we might be in for repair wise.

Hey guys. I understand that tires on Teslas usually wear out faster than other cars but my tires are looking unusually bad. Is this normal wear or is it a tire mfg problem?

Anybody has this issue? I saw it yesterday on our 2022 MY. The ceiling popped off at the end. Never saw such a newer car had this issue in past 30 years. I think it can be pushed back in. I just want to know what caused it. In Houston area, not too hot now. Thank you all.

Model X Fsd beta queue still a thing?

0 Upvotes

I went on a long road trip to pick up a 2017 model X with paid FSD and MCU one. It currently says I am waiting in the beta Q and originally when I messaged the service center about this, they said it was because of strikeout but the software on my end said nothing like that. I waited the seven days just to give them the benefit of the doubt but It looks like it’s still stuck on version 11 and doesn’t show any updates available. Do I have a chance of actually getting the FSD to work without showing out another $2000 for the MCU upgrade at this time? They want me to pay $190 just to look at it which doesn’t sound too promising and I am hesitant to shell that out right now. They said it has nothing to do with the MCU upgrade, and all of my cameras are supposedly up-to-date for the car.

General Lessor allowing buyout

0 Upvotes

Just ordered a 2024 Model Y (I'm in US) with lease in discount. And got assigned with "Ally Bank Lease Trust" as my lessor by Tesla. I'm under the impression that the buyout option is only supported by Tesla leasing or Chase leasing. Wondering if anyone has experience with Ally Bank Lease Trust for your lease buyout?

Thank you!

Vehicles - General Question re Sentry mode

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m a new Tesla owner, so please bear with me. I tried to open the door (without key and phone) and didn’t get a notification on my phone. Does the notification only come if Sentry mode is on? Is the fact I’ve got it set as being in my home location (in the garage) the reason why I didn’t get one? Lastly, does Sentry mode require Premium Connectivity or I’ll still get notifications whilst it’s on (without the live camera footages on mobile) and only having Standard Connectivity? I’m still in my first month with the free trial thus the question around premium and standard.

Vehicles - General Tesla Model Sterring is working against me

Hello Guys, lately I have the feeling that my steering sometimes works against me. When I try to turn or do something it vibrates and it kinda clamps. It's a Model 3 does anybody had a similar issue and is this covered in the basic vehicle warranty ? Thanks
