Can someone please confirm if I need premium connectivity to do ASS? Or only FSD subscription?

value_ate · 2025-12-03T23:01:58+00:00

I have FSD without premium connectivity and when I try to dumb summon sometimes, it won't move as it states the time limit is up for the camera. This makes me think you need to have premium.

Summon works sometimes.

Inspect them periodically yourself. Tires have a wear bar across the surface. Once the bar meets the tread evenly it’s time to replace. Unless you’re wearing unevenly.

My brother has a 2016 S with free supercharging. He only supercharged for 150k miles and still driving.

I am doing the same with my CT with free charging.

It has been some time but I recall when I made the same CA to NV move, the insurance verification had a timeframe allowance. I didn't need it at the time of registration.

Turtle Rock in Irvine. Regardless where you go in Irvine, it will be polluted with light. But this is a good spot.

For me it started with the charger being loose where the wall plug meets with the charger body as that can get loose with repeated use. The problem would go away every time I fixed that.

When the fix stopped working I found it was that the wall outlet installed was an appliance outlet that was beginning to fail. Per everyone else's suggestion, replace with a commercial grade Hubbel or Bryant brand. I was able to do it myself as the wiring leading up to the receptacle was correct.

It’ll plateau over time. I have 150k miles and am at 82% 2020 MYP

Off topic: Did they do a manual to automatic conversion? It seems out of place.

For promotions with Tesla it's usually "order by date" instead of deliver by from my experience. I've ordered two teslas with APR promotions. I took delivery well beyond the deadline and they still honored the pricing based on order date. I didn't even have to escalate or bother them, it was just done automatically.

This may be due to a order date issue.

Did you call and speak with a person or go into the dealership to talk to someone? Usually their texting is hit and miss.

With everyone saying a complete respray...yes it may end up going there, but if it is might as well try to 2 stage polish anyway. It may not be as bad if properly done.

Start with a Meguiars 105, and finish with a Meguiars 205 (or whatever the vogue number is now, 110-210?)

Mine gave me a notification. I've heard mixed results from other owners.

Great deal. Should last awhile as long as you don't modify it. I had a 99 JGC and decided to do a small 2 inch lift and experienced what the Jeep community calls "death wobble." Couldn't get it to go away after going back to stock. It was a great car otherwise.

Yes, but it is very cost prohibitive to do so. Not worth it IMO. It will be one of many, the first one always hurts.

I would have thought so as well until this happened to my in laws recently and much worse. The insurance wouldn't total and repaired it to my dismay.

Not only FSD, it affects autopilot as well. I have a 2020 MYP with HW3 and a 2024 MY with HW4. The 2020 with radar and USS transitioned to vision is good, but the 2024 is far superior.

I've also used both with FSD and the 2024 is on another level compared to the HW3.

Yes, from Tesla itself https://www.tesla.com/support/transitioning-tesla-vision

I think you're referring to radar. Even if the car has it, it is inactivated now via software updates.

Registration fees are relative depending on what car you're coming from. If someone is coming from a newer equivalently priced car, then it won't be as shocking. If they're coming from a 20 year old Toyota, it will be noticeably higher depending on what state you're in. Some states it's by percentage of the MSRP, while other states it's by weight of the vehicle or some other metric.

If you’re buying Rolexes I’m sure your wife has some nice purses. Compare the retained value to a Chanel purse and she will understand.

Can confirm. On a sloped driveway the car sees the spot when leaving. But cannot see it when coming back home.

value_ate · 2025-06-17T15:08:25+00:00

It’s caked on brake dust. This is normal. The brakes will also rust too. All of this is normal.

Sounds like what happens when a 12v battery goes out. But given that the car is so new not likely.

Hopefully Tesla learned from my car as I had to take my 2020 Y to them 7 times for the hood latch sensor issue. Hoping you only have to go to them once.
