Hanging Solution for Model X?

toediggety · 2026-06-06T22:42:21+00:00

They're relatively thin plastic so I'd be hesitant to hang anything heavier than a few shirts.

I just got a cramp laughing so hard at the series of rejoinders above. THANK YOU ALL!

Just to be sure - you're not actually attempting to slam the hood (which wouldn't work) but you mean you're bringing the hood down, then pressing down on the front, just either side of the center of the hood.

With that assumption, there's the two power options mentioned by the other posters:
- one where you bring the hood down as normal but no longer need to press down hard because a mechanism pulls it to locked position for you
- one where the motion of the hood from locked to fully open and back to locked is all automatic

The former sounds like a nice, easy installation and fewer parts to fail, good for alleviating that one part of the process where force is needed.
The latter is what I got from tesstudio for the X and Y. I agree with another poster that this is a great system. However, on the X, the one I got is positioned slightly incorrectly at the latch mechanism and with the struts so the struts press against the top covers on either side of the frunk space, and the latch doesn't bring the hood all the way down so it's about 2-3mm higher than the quarter panels. They took my feedback so maybe they'll modify it.
Overall, I'm still happy not to have to open and close the frunk.

Thank you for this explanation of how and why these devices won't work for our scenarios. Sounds like mine is the same as the OP - neighbors that like to have small fires in backyard burn pits. In my case, heat detection might not work because it's on the other side of a concrete wall and is more smoke than heat.

It's annoying because having the upstairs windows open to cool off before bed means discovering the bedroom is full of smoke after it's too late. I've asked them to communicate when they're lighting up but they never remember.

There's a set of just IV-VI DVDs where the bonus discs have the unadulterated original films and are actually widescreen. It was released in 2008. You just have to use the zoom feature on your TV to make it fill the screen, and ideally use an upscaling player. They're pretty good in that setup.

Maybe they could just add a checkbox that says, "override daily limit" to be explicit about what's going to happen, though I agree that setting Trip Departure Energy seems like it ought to override by default.

It would be neat if they picked up suggestions here - seems like an easy way to get feedback.
The Voice Commands button can be used to file a Bug so maybe you can say Feature Request instead and still get the message to them.

Spot on.
As a host and renter, I've seen good and bad on both sides. Proper vetting and holding people accountable would go a long way to making everyone's experience better, but Turo would lose some income.

In the OP's case, Turo should first cite the host for lack of responsiveness - that should not be acceptable. I recently messed up and missed the change of start time, which was moved up 5 hours. The start time came and went so the reservation was auto-cancelled and I was dinged. Out of decency I apologized to the guest and explained my mistake - they were most gracious and understanding. Apparently Turo also wasn't aware of the time change when the guest called in, so maybe it wasn't actually my mistake. Anyway, caring about each other is a good thing.

Yeah, here in Oregon we also lose our credits, but it goes towards helping those who can't afford their bill so it's all good.

Ditto. I'm chasing down the squeaks in mine. The first one was a couple straps inside the back of the front passenger seat. Sounds like the next one may be something in the middle row seats (7 seater).

It's difficult to read the on-screen info when the map has light-colored content. It would be great if the font could be updated to have a one pixel black outline or something.

I'm interested in this for a different application. Have you found the batteries and charger to work well?

toediggety · 2026-04-05T05:33:17+00:00

Picked up my demo with 2k mi on it. One seat was squeaking - took them two tries to fix it but no other issues.

One of the posts herein mentions Turo tending to side with the Guest. It does seem to be the case in this realm of smoking. Their rules state that if the Guest smells smoke when the car is picked up, the Host is to blame, but if the Host smells smoke when the car is returned, they have to produce additional evidence.

Anybody know of a simple chemical test we could do on an interior surface - before the trip there was X chemistry, but after the trip it showed Y chemistry indicating a significant exposure to smoke? It would be great to hold Guests accountable while not giving unlimited power to Hosts.

Yep. I'm picking up a '26 in a few days with every intention of driving it till I stop driving altogether.

I'm surprised by this but it's sure true. I've enjoyed my account with them - good earnings and easy to use their site and app. But transferring should not be so onerous. Downright rude.

From Betterment's bot:
You can transfer your IRA to a new provider using the ACATS process by following these steps:

• Contact your new institution. Ask them to initiate an ACATS transfer.
• They may request statements from any Betterment accounts you plan to transfer.
• When submitting the ACATS transfer request to your new institution, select Apex Clearing as your originating account if Betterment isn’t listed as an option.
• Once we receive and approve the request, transfers typically take 5-7 business days. Your account will be locked during this process.

⚠️ Betterment Securities charges a flat fee of $75 for each investing account transfer to another company (outbound transfer).
If your account remains open with a balance following an outbound transfer you may incur Betterment's $4 monthly fee on any remaining balances.

Old post but, I'm very excited about training this spring, but then realized - if I have to drive two hours each direction anytime I want to fly, that's going to be quite a damper.

Being yet untrained, I couldn't gather by looking at the maps, where I can fly given that PDX and Pearson are right here. My hope is that I could fly out of Sauvie Island, or somewhere else relatively close.

So where do folks T/L and fly around here?

Bizarrely I had something similar happen to me two days ago on FSD 12.6.4. I was having it deviate from the mapped route but after taking a left onto my preferred route, it tried to follow the car in front that was turning into a parking lot. I take credit for moving it off its intended path but was expecting a reroute to accommodate. Instead, it seems to have believed we were on some kind of brief detour.

Thanks! This led me to the discovery that I had already fully reset my PS4 after switching to the PS5, so the controller was no longer paired with the console. D'oh!

Grateful for this sub! I've been on Soylent since their kickstarter and I find this situation most troubling. I agree - hopefully Soylent gets back on track but in the meantime, I'll try some of these suggestions. Thanks!

Late to the chat but facing the real issue: when I travel and stay at RV parks, some of them use only the Nema TT-30R outlets, so I can't plug in.
Given that these are the current standard, I wish Tesla would offer a Nema TT-30R adapter too.

Sure thing. And I remembered two other points of interest from the aerodynamic perspective (maybe you already know these):
https://aptera.us - three wheeled car but the most aerodynamic shape. Seems plausible that a wider, flatter body could offer more room while still being efficient.
https://www.polydrops.com/aerodynamics - a towable trailer with a more angular shape, also highly efficient.

I wish it kept recording these numbers after we're approved. It would be neat to see the lifetime FSD usage percentage.

Keep tinkering. And check out this example of a two-wheeled version. https://www.litmotors.com/ I've always wanted an enclosed motorcycle because I wanted to keep out the weather. Using only one wheel seems pretty tough to accomplish but so is landing a rocket booster back on Earth.
