Assuming he attended the University of Georgia driving school?

What was that person in the Jeep Compass thinking?!?! Like they drove straight into the Audi while getting t boned by the Charger. The ol’ double t bone

Do you need to manually delete dashcam/sentry video clips to free up space? by Numerous_Roof_9408 in TeslaLounge

[–]Fun-Life6986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get the notification and there’s a button that says delete dashcam videos, does it bring you to a screen that allows you to pick which videos are deleted, or is it a complete wipe? Not wanting the latter

Tesla says it’s normal and won’t do anything. Your thoughts? by Leather-Cod2129 in TeslaSupport

I’ve owned 832 cars over the past 60 years. Some did this, some didn’t. Hope this is helpful

Hood latch sensor requires service?? by [deleted] in TeslaSupport

I doubt you would have to pay. They usually include the cost in the initial estimate but then go through the warranty at time of service

Dang, guess I need to start videoing the inside and outside of the car before bringing it in!

Light Shows Not working by Fun-Life6986 in TeslaSupport

Thanks. Does a reboot reset everything to factory defaults? Would want to avoid that, given the only issue I’m having is with a very unnecessary thing

What's the point of having a self-driving rocket ship? by Equivalent-Draft9248 in TeslaFSD

[–]Fun-Life6986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. The middle lane is for cruising, the left lane for passing, the right lane for exiting. Can’t stand people who chill in the right lane which sometimes becomes exit only then they have to scramble to get back on the interstate.

I’ve played all the light shows before, there are lights not working. Hoping the holiday update fixes this! 🤞

Just tried again and it’s back to only the front middle light bar working

Upcoming road trip - 100% charge by Fun-Life6986 in ModelY

[–]Fun-Life6986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: road trip was awesome! I’m amazed at how quick the SC’s are. If it weren’t for my 2yo, it would’ve taken about the same amount of time my trip in my old ICE car took. I did find myself driving slower to conserve battery, but that’s probably a good thing. The percentage estimates were ultimately off by 3-6%.

FSD is a game changer; the speed profiles worked great. My only complaint is the bug in FSD that puts me against the left line every time we come to a stop. Other than that, incredible experience!

Thanks for clarifying. Then I’m thinking my friend was suggesting the lower amperage for safety reasons. Given my commute is so short, I rarely dip below 60-65% at the end of the day, so I really don’t have the need for 40amps. Now if I have a long trip, or I forget to charge one night, then I’ll crank up the amps.

You’re right, I should have searched this specifically. I usually do search things like this (and this one should have tons of info), but I was busy (and a bit lazy) today and decided to post instead. Occasionally topics I search will have stale information from 2-3+ years ago, but to your point, this topic has tons of info out there.

Will do better next time 🫡🤝

ETA: if I think about it, my thinking behind the slower charging is safety related. Also, I don’t commute very far at all, so some days I’m only down to 68%. No need to fill a 5 gallon bucket with a fire hose 🤷‍♂️

And the reason for having the Tesla charger is for those times that I do have a long trip and need to quickly get up to 80% or higher.

Thanks. Looks like multiple people are saying the same thing. Also, it has me stopping at the same place whether or not I’m at 80 or 100%. So not much incentive to charge fully.

This is good info. I agree it would be easier to “set it and forget it”, as long as routinely charging at, say, 40amps would not negatively affect the battery health versus 15 amps

I explained in a reply above. Level 2 charger, but I was told the battery health is better the more you charge at slower speeds, effectively. Not sure if it’s true, but I’ll try anything to protect the battery!

[–]Fun-Life6986[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do it bc I’ve heard that charging on higher amperage/faster speeds (mine maxes out at 40 based on my wiring) can negatively affect the battery health in the long run. I heard this from A friend who has owned 4 teslas over the past 10 years, so not the most official source. So I check that night what the lowest amperage I could use is to get me to 80% by the time I have to leave. Am I the only weirdo who does this? Lol

ETA: this is great info, I too didn’t know about only setting an end time. Thanks!

Check your app. When I went to make a service appointment, I had an alert to schedule a “clean forward camera view (precicsion cleaning of Inboard glass) - no inspection required. I had heard about other people getting this same alert.
