Had another bugfix update and learned the correct way to handle a download stuck at 100%
I saw a tweet where a Model X crash into a garage door opening shearing its Falcon Wing Door and I expressed confusion as to how this was possible. Several people asked me what the alarms looked and sounded like, this video is that answer.
Happy New Year!
We got a surprise update notification today on the way to do our weekly grocery shopping. Turns out it was a bug fix update, but they appear to have addressed the voice command problems we and many other owners experienced.
The rollout seems to have focused on cars equipped with the FSD computer it’ll be exciting to see this one hit the fleet.
Christmas Eve, I took a quick look at the FSD Preview on our Model X, it is very similar to all the videos posted for Model 3 but the cars do have their differences. Ours also wasn't the only Tesla that was hard of hearing yesterday.
A regular viewer and I were talking about Supercharger V3 and we got to talking about charging faster on existing V2 superchargers and how Tesla might be approaching On-Route Battery Warmup, at this point a lightbulb went off, I’ve got a vehicle with Ludicrous enabled, which means I can heat the battery at will, up to 50 degrees Centigrade.
On-Route Battery Warmup is supposed to work with Supercharger V3 and Supercharger V2 (with upgraded firmware in the station and the car) to reduce your charge times by 25% at existing stations and to 50% of current times at the new stations. It works by pre-heating your battery to accept the fastest charge by the time you arrive at the station.
My wife and I took a trip down to the Macon, Georgia Supercharger and about 30 minutes out we turned on Max Battery using the Tesla Easter Egg, doing it this way allows seeing the battery temperature before heating is completed. The results were interesting, the last time we heated the battery while Supercharging the outside temperature was cooler, and we didn’t turn off the Max Battery mode, here charging was slower than expected so I turned off the mode since the car had reached 50 degrees Celsius. On my blog are the two charges I did with the battery heated, and a handful of similar kWh charged sessions from the Columbia, SC supercharger.
I met up with some Charlotte Tesla Owners and we went to cars and coffee this weekend. It was the first one for the speedway, they were well organized and it was a fun experience. The Model Xs drew a crowd, that's tomorrow's video.
My Burlington Supercharger review video is the first time I've collaborated with another YouTube creator. Brian from i1Tesla was there and we filmed a few videos and had a fun lunch.
Today we look at the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter
It took me from my first test drive of a Model X in 2016 until my car was under construction before I was aware the sun visors in Model X have side coverage (the driver's window).
