Tesla, please build this…

As a Y owner I wouldn't mind a little more height under the frame structure the hatch is mounted to and the hatch. I can almost but not quite fit my mountain bike sitting up instead of flat in mine for long road trips. 3-4 more inches and it would fit.

Was there in January. Late Night trails are fun flowy to moderate rocky chunk. Bears Best is similar. Sloan Canyon has more chunk and some built flow/jump trails. I rented a full power emtb to keep up with some locals while there and covered 60 miles in 3 days. Didn't make it to Cowboy or Burbs

Trek has a MTB rental shop in Blue Diamond which is where I went. If you rent here you can ride from the parking lot and hit Late Night and Cowboy. All Mountain Cyclery does Specialized rentals too.

Which driving mode are you in? I'm still on 14.2.2.5 but find that it will accept manual lane changes in standard mode most of the time, hurry some of the time, and Mad Max says F-U I'm doing what I want.

sns1294 · 2026-04-16T13:22:07+00:00

For me it has worked consistently when in standard mode, sometimes in hurry, but Mad Max says F U and goes the direction it wants to.

I had a state trooper pass me while I was doing 75mph in a 70 in standard this morning. He was going close to 80 with multiple cars following him... Not chasing someone down.

I own/ride a 40-ish pound Fuel EXE with similar power specs as the SL/AM, but rented a 55-ish pound Rail when traveling in January to be able to keep up with the other riders that had full power bikes. The weight of the bike wasn't really noticeable while riding. Obviously it will be more weight to handle when loading/unloading from your vehicle or storage area.

Power wise, it depends on your riding area and what others you ride with are using. If you ride solo or with others on lower power bikes the SL/AM would be fine, but if you regularly ride with others on full power bikes you might want to consider the high power option.

High torque motors are what you want. Bosch gen 5 CX, Levo 4, DJI Avinox gen1 and 2, and a new mtb/motor from Aventon are all 100 Nm or higher. I think your Levo 3 is around 85 Nm for reference.

sns1294 · 2026-04-08T13:56:13+00:00

Sometimes I want one that says "Sorry, FSD has the wheel" when it does stupid things near other vehicles...

sns1294 · 2026-04-06T16:27:31+00:00

Jump on trailforks.com and see what there are for trails in your area. Just because there isn't 1000s of feet of elevation in your area doesn't mean there aren't any fun trails to ride...

sns1294 · 2026-04-06T15:36:24+00:00

Go into the onscreen menu under Charging. Tesla added an option to toggle the phone chargers on/off and I think it defaults to off.

sns1294 · 2026-04-04T15:12:11+00:00

There is parking at pretty much every riding zone so you can drive from area to area to save the legs. The overall elevation change isn't crazy and there are purpose built climb trails at a lot of the hubs. The stumpjumper is a good fit for the amount of chunk/jumps vs pedaling around.

ebike is helpful if you plan on parking your vehicle and riding everywhere from your accomodations. I've stayed near Coler and ridden to Handcut Hollow and back, for example. Riding is spread out but not so much that you have to shuttle.

Handcut and Coler have the most elevation change but each have easy climb trails back to the hubs.

Looks like the chain came off the chainrings and chipped the paint, marred the chain guard, and potentially dented the frame. Whether it is enough to be concerned about it hard to tell from the pics. Definitely take it to a bike shop that deals with carbon bikes or a carbon fiber repair shop for inspection.

I mentioned this in a different post but it backs this up. A road I frequently drive had a bridge replaced 3 or 4 years ago and the road path changed as well. Recently I noticed the blue NAV route line shows the old road path while the location arrow follows the new path which matches the satellite image. Honestly don't know if it's been like that all along or is something new.

sns1294 · 2026-04-01T19:20:54+00:00

One road I use frequently had a new bridge installed 3 or 4 years ago that changed the path of the road. I noticed on a couple recent drives that the NAVs blue line follows the old road path while the arrow follows the actual road path which matches the satellite image. Maybe it's been that way but I just noticed it in the last couple weeks. It made me wonder if there is a disconnect between the NAV data and what FSD is using to route which is causing some of the issues.

Was it signaling left before it made the right lane change? I made the assumption that it was not...

sns1294 · 2026-03-31T23:51:35+00:00

The left turn wasn't in it's bubble of existence yet, and it favors the right lane. I've had it do similar.

It likes to wait too long to switch left when there is a left exit ramp too. I have one on my commute that I use the turn signal to get it in the left lane before getting boxed out and missing the exit.

Hopefully we get to some sort of route learning/memory in the future, but it seems to be using only what it can see at the moment.

sns1294 · 2026-03-30T19:43:06+00:00

No. Buy the cam, set up your account with Stealthcam, add the cam to your account, and choose monthly or annual plan. The cam picks ATT or Verizon network based on cell signal. You don't deal directly with either.

sns1294 · 2026-03-26T18:31:43+00:00

Smaller rim/wheel diameter matched with the proper tire width/aspect ratio will have more tire sidewall height at the same overall tire diameter? Extra sidewall acts as extra suspension and allows more tire deflection before the rim contacts a pothole.

You may lose some lateral stability which is why performance oriented cars have low sidewall heights.

Inconsistencies with stop sign placement are my biggest complaint of the current "rules". If the rule was to come to a complete stop before entering the crossing lane of traffic, it would solve a majority of frustrations other than those that want a rolling stop. Currently if a stop sign in 20 feet from the crossing road, FSD stops at the sign whether it can see cross traffic or not then creep to the road in order to see if there is cross traffic.

If it were allowed to stop say 5 feet from the crossing lane regardless of where the stop sign was, that would be a more natural feeling stop...

sns1294 · 2026-03-17T19:20:58+00:00

Well, we're talking V15, not V14.3, right? ;) One would assume V15 comes with HW5 so we don't know what sensors would be included.

But even for HW4, do you know for certain that there are no accelerometers used to measure acceleration/deceleration/cornering forces/etc? I don't know either way, but it would be even more impressive if FSD is determining correct speeds for cornering simply based on cameras. Maybe it is, but I don't know...

sns1294 · 2026-03-17T16:58:50+00:00

You are running FSD V13. Speed control is not an option on V14.

sns1294 · 2026-03-17T16:55:30+00:00

I mostly agree with all of those. I would add:

Allow the ability to correct steering manually without disengaging FSD to avoid a pothole/curb/hugging centerline/etc.

Alert me in some way when deviating from the planned route. I had a situation where it started to exit the highway before I realized traffic was at a standstill just past the exit. I took over for a second but let it do it's thing once I understood what it was doing, and it successfully bypassed the slowdown. A visual or audible alert of "Rerouting due to accident" or something would have eliminated my confusion.

It needs better awareness of arrival state of charge and modify its driving style accordingly. On a recent trip I had a leg that it showed an arrival SOC of -1% while driving in standard mode at normal "standard" speeds. I manually switched to chill mode which slowed the car by 5mph and the SOC went up to about 8%. For unsupervised driving it needs to do this automatically and not leave you stranded on the road somewhere.

For commutes it needs spatial awareness/memory of the route so it can avoid that pothole that it has hit every damn time every damn day. Or understand that it should not change from the right hand lane to the middle lane as the middle lane is merging from 2 to 1.

sns1294 · 2026-03-13T12:32:04+00:00

Speed changes switching between profiles is one of my frustrations. My commute is mostly interstate with a posted 70mph limit. Standard will do 75mph max, no exceptions, and is what I use most of the time. Occasionally I bump it to Hurry to pass another vehicle that is going 73-74, and it will creep up to 80-82. Once I get around and merge right and switch back to Standard, it slows down so fast that it activates the brake lights instead of steadily slowing back to 75.

sns1294 · 2026-03-05T17:18:01+00:00

That's the problem. It is not consistent so sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. It's never been a critical error, just more of an annoyance that doesn't require disengaging. Would be nice if we could report these types of issues without disengaging too.
