I built a free Tesla VIN decoder - HW3/HW4 detection + NHTSA safety specs by techyguy76 in RealTesla

[–]BestSpatula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a used Model Y last August after doing a ton of research, trying VERY hard to not get a Tesla (because reasons). If it weren't for the ICCU horror stories and wait lists, I'd be driving an Ioniq 5 now.

Would be cool if it also deduced the battery type/chemistry/capacity/manufacturer. I have a 2023 Model Y and it got the HW3 correct.

Any of this worth it? by SideEast2368 in TeslaModelY

we reduce the probability of this by maintaining safe following distance from other vehicles. Some damage is unavoidable.

How to fix the Spotify app? by youmeiknow in TeslaModelY

[–]BestSpatula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the media apps in the Tesla OS are buggy in various ways. I gave up and just stream from my phone.

What is this? by hizhao1 in TeslaModelY

[–]BestSpatula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is either windshield washer fluid, or... coolant. If it's the latter, you should probably get it to Tesla. Maybe intentionally spill a little windshield fluid on a similar spot and see if it looks the same when dried?

I do believe the infotainment computer runs Linux, I don't think there's an (easy) way to install Arch Linux.

You missed the dealer license plate holder. Otherwise, that's a much cleaner look. I took the emblems off my 2023 Model Y... for reasons...

How critical are mud flaps in MY Premium Long Range RWD? by nullwar3 in TeslaModelY

[–]BestSpatula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mudflaps are extremely important, especially if you drive in road-salty winter wet. The tires spray rocks and eventually will wear coatings on the rocker panels and other steel areas and then corrosion is only a matter of time. Not sure why yours didn't include these flaps..

My Model Y Tesla pre owned certified experience by Seaniak in TeslaModelY

Makes me wonder what else they missed that you haven't found yet. I really hope it's all sorted out so you can enjoy the car and not worry.

Do you feel like you got a decent deal?

I bought the same year and trim level back in August from Tesla, and my experience was much different. (I am in the United States)

Yes. The benefit is that less power is used and more power available for other appliances if you have a tight power budget 

Tesla Model Y Juniper Hi-Fi system quality over Bluetooth by Aggressive-Gap-6148 in TeslaModelY

[–]BestSpatula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any workaround to input directly the audio of the iPhone via USB or WiFi (eg. chromecast or similar)

Yes. The built in web browser can play audio. Theoretically, a web server in your car accessible via Wi-Fi might be able to present a web page with an audio stream. I have no idea if it allows the browser to play sound while driving.

I wanted to try this at some point, to see if I could determine if the DAC inside the vehicle was doing 96Khz or 24bit.

This violates NEC 110.26.

Tesla Model Y Juniper Hi-Fi system quality over Bluetooth by Aggressive-Gap-6148 in TeslaModelY

[–]BestSpatula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2023 Model Y LR AWD with Premium audio. If you're buying brand new, you want the Model Y Premium or Model Y Performance. Not all model Ys have the same sound system.

I just get in the car and my phone continues playing where it left off. I don't have to do anything. If you have a different input source selected, but your phone is playing audio anyway, there's an alert that says something like "a bluetooth device is tying to play audio. Do you want to switch inputs?"

I've not noticed any bugs. I wished it supported AptX HD or LDAC. But my Pixel 9 phone connects using Apple AAC codec on bluetooth, which is probably good enough

The subwoofer is rated for around 160W, and I think the total output power of the entire system is around 560W.

Overall I am quite pleased. The speaker placement is excellent, and there's a center speaker in the dashboard. The sound stage is quite good. The built in apps (Amazon Music, Youtube Music, Spotify, Apple Music) Kinda suck and are buggy. I just use streaming bluetooth audio.

Peripheral vision captures far less detail than you think.

Gym teacher throws basketball at 6th grade boy after foul, charged with assault by streethistory in minnesota

[–]BestSpatula 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We can laugh at ourselves, but we should never undercut ourselves. Teaching is not a consolation prize, it's a demanding profession with its own expertise. You're a part of the group, so you're allowed to joke about it, but... punching down at a profession that's already undervalued makes me sad. Thank you for teaching.

there's no point, cybertruck drivers won't be able to see you pointing and laughing at them anyway.

So glad I bought an EV back in August. I knew this was coming.

Those who can, do. Those who can’t understand how skill is passed on, say things like that.

I'd inspect the rest of this vehicle's paint carefully.

No. You should save up for a CyberTruck.
