    Discuss: Tesla's New 'Preferred Routes' Doesn't Require the Summer Update

    I have two more observations about routing. First, I no longer get routing options as I'm driving. The selected route is locked in. Second, there is no effort to move me around bad delays. I was stuck in a traffic jam for 15 minutes, and had to manually do a u-turn and find another way to where...

    Discuss: Tesla's New 'Preferred Routes' Doesn't Require the Summer Update

    I'm not sure if it's the map update or the fsd update (14.3.8) but the car now takes me on the most obscure routes to destinations that I have taken many times before. I let it go a couple of times just to see how it would get me to my destination (which it always did) but was taken on back...

    Discuss: Tesla Update 2026.2.9.10 - Release Notes

    The update still does not give the driver any control of speed on highways. In 'chill' on a 55mph road, speeds never exceed 57 mph. In 'standard' the speed shoots to 70. A ticket and points at that speed would be painful. We should be able to specify a fixed speed, as mph or %, as a maximum...

    FSD profiles

    Count me in to the group that finds the inability to control maximum speed while in FSD annoying and, quite often, potentially expensive. Driving 15 miles over the speed limit (routine in 'standard' mode) can generate a very high fine, and the possibility of losing a licence for a period of...

    Discuss: How Your Tesla Really Knows the Speed Limit: It's Not Just Reading Signs

    I have a 2024 Y, running FSD 14.2.2, and have a real problem with speed. I have my FSD set up to exceed the speed limit by 7 mph. Most of the time, on city streets, I have no problem, and the car stays at reasonable speeds. On the highway, though, I cannot control the speed limit at all. On a 55...

    Discuss: Tesla Updates App to v4.51.1: Adds FSD Gift Card

    I may have missed it, but I don't see a search option anywhere. I tried Tesla Assist under the Service tab, but it says there is no way to provide the fsd gift. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Is FSD 12.6.4 The End Of The Line?

    My 2020 Y has been stuck at this level for months, and there is still a lot of work to do before this can be considered FDS. I understand that HW3 and the 2020 sensors may not be up to the job, but that is not how the car and FSD was sold. I spent a lot of money on FSD before there was even a...

    Discuss: FSD v12.5 (Update 2024.20.10) Release Notes

    I have had a Y since late 2020, and bought it with FSD long before there was the first beta available. I went through safety testing and faithfully tried using whatever version of FSD came down the pike. And some of them were just plain awful and, worse, dangerous. Now I have 12.4.3 and it is...

    What Happened to Custom Lock Sounds?

    Let me self-correct. It iis true that the lock sound button is greyed out in the 'Locks' section of the controls, but it does show up in the boom box. Sorry about the confusion.

    What Happened to Custom Lock Sounds?

    I am not sure when it happened (I am on 2024.14.9), but I am no longer able to use custom lock sounds. In fact, the button for its use is greyed out, and the lock sound that the car uses is one that I had 'customized' a long time ago, and was never able to change. Is this no longer going to be...

    Repair Delays

    I touch base with the repair shop weekly. He reports that he has over a dozen Teslas waiting for parts, and cannot get an eta for parts as simple as hoods or bumpers. These things are stamped out, not hand tooled. Its hard to believe that I will have to wait for new production facilies to start...

    Repair Delays

    My Tesla Y is in the shop for some body work. It has been there for three weeks, and I am told that it could be several more weeks efore the necessary parts are available from Tesla. If I had a Ford, BMW, Kia or almost any other car, I would be in and out in a week or two. For a company as...

    Route planning.

    I took a road trip from Wilmington, DE to Portland, ME using the route planner in the car. Each trip had me stop twice for charging, but at about 30-40 minutes. On the trip back, we had lunch while the car charged (1st stop) to close to 100%. When I redid directions to home, it showed that I...
