    How often do you use FSD?

    9 - I’m a distracted and aggressive driver. I know FSD is a better driver than me, unless I’m in a high stakes situation. But when I’m eating an ice cream sundae with two hands it can’t be beat. When I’m looking for music or podcasts I can do it without worry. I can do two things at the same...

    IR LEDs Flash during FSD telemetry upload

    Link and activity lights don’t transmit IR. Maybe OP was seeing visible light?

    IR LEDs Flash during FSD telemetry upload

    Makes you wonder if this is a security vulnerability. Fiber optic transmissions use LEDs to encode/decode transmissions, probably as IP packets. A clever hacker could point a camera at a CT and pickup the data, though I would hope it is encrypted. Encryption adds overhead and so it could be weak...

    Apple Watch Key Unlock process for Tesla Vehicle -- video

    I think the primary use case is for active folks that run, hike, bike, surf, etc. that don’t want to strap anything to their bodies. I used to do that when biking to get full GPS and Bluetooth capabilities. Apple Watch already covers all the activities, as does Samsung, but now you can power off...

    [FIXED!] Violent rattle at 85mph, anyone else?

    @kappaknight I recommend you go immediately to a service center and have them check the front knuckle assembly for a loose bolt. This happened to me and they never seen it prior. But everything’s new on CT. Took them a weeks to get parts and figure out if anything else was loose. Felt like what...

    Home wash question

    I use a pressure washer at home. None of that ever happens. I’ve had my CT for 5 months and washed it 3 times already. No issues whatsoever. Car wash mode would be the last thing you want to do if you have an inclined driveway.

    Quantifying overnight ("phantom") drain

    Super simple solution that works for most situations, power down the truck over night. Most convenience features still work. Drastic reduction in vampire drain. The power button is one aspect I truly dislike of all other EVs, but when in use I still use walk-away locking without powering down...

    Anyone using the V2 Wall Charger with their CT?

    My v2 works great with the CT. I get 48A on a 60A breaker. Waiting on my v3 + PowerShare install.

    Tire Inflator I’m using

    It’s actually 12v, NOT 120v. I have this unit and run it with a 120v-12v converter that can handle the high amperage. Works great, but the heat generation is insane. I would never buy one that didn’t have the duty cycle and overheat protection. Most people will buy these for off roading, so 20...

    2024.20.6 Update Is Here

    Version numbers are significant. CY.XX.YY where CY is Calendar Year (not meaningful) means XX is a major release and YY is a minor release. If CY were significant then CY would mean major release which would be limited to annual major releases. That would make XX a minor release which could...

    F-150 Recall

    CT is iconic and significant. F-150 is blasé and mediocre so nobody cares, except owners. The attention on CT is the purest form of flattery. If you can’t handle the attention then don’t drive one. Any CT owner is used to the attention by now.

    Tire Inflator I’m using

    Whoa, touchy touchy. Didn’t know you were so vested in that Chinese POS. It’s not my silly statement, it’s the manufacturer’s. I might be misreading that, but I’ve seen many reviews where these cheapies can’t bring up a truck tire. The MFr’s point out the issues with those little jobbies...

    Tire Inflator I’m using

    I like that one but specs might not support off-road deflation to ~36 psi. My interim solution is this Harbor Freight special until I decide to go with MF or VIAIR. Works well so far but need to do the 36 psi test. MCGRAW 3 Gallon 1/3 HP 110 PSI Oil-Free Hot Dog Air Compressor - Item 57572...

    Tire Inflator I’m using

    FWIW, if you want to use existing high current 12v on the CT use the trailer hitch electrical. No converters required. Simply adapt a lights and brakes connector in place of battery alligator clips or cigarette light plug. Cheap and clean solution. https://a.co/d/aj2I6i9 is the 7 pin...

    Another out of spec detailing video: heavy stain removal from stainless steel

    Best advice I’ve read yet! It’s an easy process but makes the most sense for stainless. Just gotta find a way to keep it wet for 30 mins per CitiSurf instructions. Probably won’t bother during Texas summers.

    Tire Inflator I’m using

    Would this be a better option? PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE 12V 150 PSI Compact Air Compressor - https://hftools.com/app63184 I have not purchased this compressor so no clue as to its quality or suitability.

    US set to impose 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicle imports

    Retaliation by China usually targets US firms manufacturing in China. Apple and others have been the target of trade retaliation. I’m sure Tesla Giga Shanghai will become a target if this passes.

    Accelerator Pedal Cover Recall Detail

    I wonder if a current owner would be willing to stomp on the pedal as they would if they’re trying to floor it, but with an obvious shear force in the direction of the the top of the pedal? In fact, try to make it come off with your foot only. The design is obviously flawed, even if you can’t...

    Quick Quack car wash track popped my tire!

    Can you post that one more time? 4x was not enough to make the point.
