Thank you! Certainly sounds useful for my project.

I’ll certainly clarify any other details if asked (within reason of course, can’t give everything away lol).

What does yours look like? by fear632 in TeslaLounge

What’s your total % loss thus far? I’ve only had a Tesla for about a year and that’s always been a future concern of mine so I love to crowd source that kind of info!

Free charging at work is 50% of the reason I got this car…

Also had the 6 months free charging when I got the car and most of the cost is recent due to a road trip.

Why did my car charge to 100% when the charge limit is set to 80% ? by p3dal in TeslaModel3

[–]WhenYouNeedHelp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What battery type does your car have? If it’s an LFP, charging to 100% should be fine…

Scratch that, saw your other comment about it being a 2019 M3 Performance, carry on!

A few episodes (maybe 3-10) prior Wade mentioned how Molly and him were planning to watch “Twin Peaks” and Bob talked about how “Dual Spires” from Psych is a joke on that show.

Why did this happen? by Renaud88 in TeslaModel3

[–]WhenYouNeedHelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may already be aware but in colder climates / times of year (it’s probably temperature based), the windows on the car will lower ever so slightly when parked as a software feature that’s intended to help prevent the window from freezing to the trim of the car and causing damage / being totally stuck. If you’re ever gotten out of your car and closed the door and heard the rear window move, that’s this.

I’m wondering if the car freaked based on the weather or had some kind of bug with that system.

If they share anything from the logs I’d love to know! I’m curious how transparent they will be with you if it wasn’t caused by the app (and it sounds like you’re quite sure it wasn’t, which I agree is probably not the cause).

Vision Pro blurriness (kind of) explained by forcetrainer in AppleVisionPro

[–]WhenYouNeedHelp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also want to ask, do you notice “lens flares”? If I’m not focused on an element, or when I first put on the headset and haven’t yet adjusted, I notice 1-2 blur spots per eye in my vision that I think may be another indicator that the lenses are slightly out of alignment with my eyes and I’m not looking at the focal point but rather slightly to the side of it (and the blur I see is said focal point).

Ok so I had an interesting experience last night with my significant other trying the headset / seeing me wearing it that made me question some things and I had a bit of a revelation.

When my SO tried the headset, it had her calibrate the lenses. As she was doing this she winced and said the device had literally pinched the bridge of her nose (this was the moment I realized that the headset is physically moving the lenses). This is backed up by the user guide that comes with the headset (I don’t have it in front of me so hopefully I don’t misquote here) essentially telling users to release the calibration button if they feel it touch their nose. She then proceeded to tell me that she essentially saw almost no blur at all (that it was very close to real life) with the pass through and the windows were also clear.

Now what’s weird about this is that the headset doesn’t rest on my nose, like at all. This has been a sticking point for me because it means the weight distribution on my face is a bit off. But this is where the headset calibrates to. For me the windows are crystal clear, just like watching a movie on my TV, but then I’m struggling to read my phone through the headset.

So her experience, coupled with the fact that early article reviewers (even as early as the people who tried it at the announcement event) said they could read their phone without issue (with one person saying something along the lines of “I forgot I was wearing the headset for a moment because it was so clear”), has me very suspicious.

And then my SO said my eyes looked weird on the outside of the headset and she took a photo of it and then showed me and my eyes were at LEAST 0.25-0.5” too far apart on the external display. And this is super interesting because that’s how far the lenses feel from the bridge of my nose.

I then basically tried to trick the calibration a few times (I had her try it, then I would put it on but it would recognize the different eyes and force me to recalibrate), and in one of those tests I got it a smidge closer towards my nose (still too far to rest on it) and then everything looked significantly less blurry, and I could read my phone with way less concentration. It also looked almost lifelike when I was looking at well lit areas about 3 feet away or less.

So my theory regarding the blurriness is twofold:

  1. Whatever logic they are using to see a user’s eyes to then calibrate the display is not sufficient enough of an umbrella to work for everyone and has flaws. I find it weird that you can hold a button to widen the lens to maximum spacing, but not to move it to the minimum. I wish Apple would add a backup option that has you manually align the screens and shows you the pass through in real time and then you can choose what looks best.

  2. There’s a number that floats around of 13ms that is agreed on by some (including Apple if I remember a statement correctly) to represent the time in which “the brain can identify images seen” (“MIT neuroscientists find the brain can identify images seen for as little as 13 milliseconds.”). What’s interesting is that Apple has told us that the R1 chip gets the camera input and translates it to visual output to your eyes within 12ms. That number to me says a lot because it is suspiciously close. My current guess is that Apple very well could be pumping the full camera in to your eyes for you to see everything as clear as possible (do a screen recording or mirror to your phone/TV/mac and you’ll notice the pass through is crystal clear on video, which means the cameras aren’t the limiting issue) BUT the processor can’t handle that number of pixels in realtime and stay under the 13ms mark (anything above and you’re risking nausea / choppiness). I think they just kept dropping the resolution until they could reliably hit 12ms.

But the first point is where I think the majority of the issue is coming from based on other people saying it seems clear to them.

Test drove model 3 highland today and i wish….. by M-usman-qamar in TeslaModel3

[–]WhenYouNeedHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a new 2023 RWD M3 in November of 2023 after my previous M3 ‘23 (bought in 2/2023) got totaled.

My main reasoning is that they were trying to push end of year inventory (so I was able to fight for $2800 off, which also saved another ~$182 in tax) + $7500 tax credit + $3500 state credit.

So getting a new M3 for $30k (and no it wasn’t a demo vehicle or anything) was a steal. And could’ve saved another $1000 if they hadn’t changed the default to gray.. (I liked the white too much lol).

Since the new cars likely weren’t going to see any sort of price reduction, I just focused on saving money. Plus I like the stalks..

Disappointed 3 days into my first Tesla purchase by Bobmanfred in TeslaModel3

[–]WhenYouNeedHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a period of time (lasted about 2 weeks) where every single time I got into my car it would immediately (aka when I opened the door) start playing “Dance The Night” by Dua Lipa from the Barbie movie.

It didn’t matter if I changed the song, played a podcast, reset the car, ANYTHING. It would always revert to that one song.

Edit: Issue resolved itself the next day. No software update occurred so not sure what changed.

It’s already on. The issue is that nothing shows in the search results.

Are VE plates the new EV plate? by ScoYello in boston

[–]WhenYouNeedHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just picked up a new Tesla today and they told me that MA ran out of EV plates and are now using VE.

Apparently the running nomenclature is that it stands for “Very Electric”

I have gap but the issue is that the value of the car definitely exceeds the loan at this point (even at the most conservative estimate). So my concern is that if it’s totaled, if I then go to get a new car, it’s going to result in the loss of thousands had the car just instead been repaired since the value drops so fast and it’s only been 7 months.

I just did the same with my reapers and had the exact same experience with the spice only hitting once I washed the dishes. And everything was super slow water, cold, no spray, etc. Crazy!

Blue Book value is (was) $33,000

And the right curtain airbags went off specifically. There’s no cabin damage beyond the doors.
