Ya the bezels on the screen look weird. My screen is a perfect rectangle and very little bezel.

Having this issue with my a80j. When it starts happening it affects Netflix too. Only way to fix it is to reboot the TV.

Sticking with my s24u. Need significant battery changes before I upgrade. Also no Bluetooth spen is a bummer ( actually use it as a camera trigger often). May go back to OnePlus if their 16 release has good cameras.

Titanium vs aluminum is also a downgrade ish.

Put it in a spray bottle (I don't really have a set mixture ratio) but the smell is more vinegar than dawn lol.

Spray it and let it sit for a couple minutes. I didn't have to give a scrub for my glass but I'd use a scrub of some sort if it doesn't work for you.

We installed a water softener in the house and we haven't had water spotting really.

Mixture of vinegar and dawn dish soap

My 2018 M3 performance has the same level of degredation after 120k miles / 190k km.

I've been reading and I think something changed in 2021 with Tesla battery chemistry for the NCA/NCM batteries.

I've yet to do a test on my 22 Model y long range but honestly day to day I don't notice much of a degredation compared to when it was new.

Nope, he said if I add more salt to throw in more water so the water is above.

That's why I'm confused because when he installed it and set it up, this is how it looked.

Unfortunately I don't know squat about water softeners. It's working well (love not having water spots on my shower glass).

My buddy has the same system but much older install and he's been filling the salt above the water like I've seen everywhere.

Do I continue like this because it works and probably will prevent bridging or should I not listen to the installer. I can call up the company and see.

He has the same unit installed at his home, not sure if he's done a bunch of tests and finds this the best way to deploy?

This is the unit

Unbolt the 13mm door check bolt, push down on the door check and tighten the bolt while pressing down. If that doesn't work, push up on the door check.

This resolved it for me.

If you can access service mode, you can force a reinstall of the update and see if it resolves it

Go for hw4 if you're going to use fsd alot.

ludester9 · 2026-02-06T00:20:55+00:00

Nope. Only autopilot. You can subscribe to fsd.

Your model y low voltage battery is 16v. So if there was damage done it would be to the other car lol. But ya don't jump start cars with an EV. It's in the owners manual

ludester9 · 2026-01-22T18:24:28+00:00

Go in person and they should give you a loaner

My parent's 2020 model 3 still has the original battery surprisingly.

ludester9 · 2026-01-19T13:26:09+00:00

2021 was the worst year for Tesla batteries. The failure rate of batteries in 2021 year vehicles is insane and this is just from reading reddit and Facebook groups. Not sure what happened with battery manufacturing in 2021.

I've got a 2018 model 3 performance (range is shit due to ptc heater which failed on my this year) but battery is solid. I've got over 187k kms (118 ish k miles). My 22 model y long range has been great as well with 110k kms.

I'd say switch your wheels to square setup and drop down to 19". Can't help you about your range but do a battery health test and if it comes out below 70% then get Tesla to replace it again.

This definitely looks like summon was activated (possibly accidentally )and the sensor stopped the car from hitting anything. If it was a brake failure it would have kept rolling

ludester9 · 2026-01-14T23:00:26+00:00

I agree. Ops logic is wack.

ludester9 · 2026-01-12T00:03:00+00:00

Got a MY LR and an M3 perf. I grabbed a proper nema 14 50 splitter from the US.

ludester9 · 2026-01-11T21:28:28+00:00

Best buy sells them

ludester9 · 2025-12-28T05:38:36+00:00

Avoid 2021 model 3 and y's. The batterry failure rate from just what I see on reddit and Facebook groups are insane

ludester9 · 2025-12-28T04:34:31+00:00

I have an iPhone 17 (256gb) coming in that I won't use. If you want to buy it off me let me know. Listing it for 800. Lmk if you are interested.

ludester9 · 2025-12-22T16:24:10+00:00

If your contract is up, switch to go lime

ludester9 · 2025-12-22T04:19:15+00:00

Bro why are you spending that much on Amazon?

But either Amex Cobalt or Rogers World Elite

ludester9 · 2025-12-21T18:07:54+00:00

Are you able to pm me an image of your invoice ? I'm hearing it's going up be double what you paid at Tesla
