@cybrtrkguy I purchased a Mobile Connector with my first Tesla three years ago. I used it almost daily until a new store near me installed free chargers a few months ago. It still works perfectly after what must be around 1,000 daily uses including in the rain and hot sun.

@Its_EV_John The bolt that came with mine had an inverted/external Torx head rather than a 10mm hex head.

@Its_EV_John I'd be concerned about long-term corrosion. Cutting into the bolt exposed some uncoated steel.

@TexasTSLA Turning radius ≠ roadholding. No matter how "tightly" it can turn, it can't overcome the laws of physics. The Cybertruck doesn't do any better than a gas F-150 when it comes to roadholding.

This was the turning radius of an 18 wheeler. I thought CT has steer by wire and turns easily? Maybe i didn't pay attention is physics class and speed messes all that up but man I thought a CT can turn sharper than that

UPDATE: Elon Musk says the driver of this Cybertruck disengaged Autopilot four seconds before crashing, which means the driver was manually driving during this entire clip that Fox shared. Elon: "As anyone knows who uses it, that video is not how Autopilot drives."

Since updates have gotten so boring and the Gold/Orange Download Arrow has lost it's magic.. Maybe an Exclamation Arrow for "exciting" releases.... 14.3 etc. Would cause a new buzz and something to look for.

My beloved mobile charger that came with my Cybertruck doesn’t seem to be working anymore. It flashes a little bit of red when you first plug it in, then it goes away. When you try to charge a Tesla it gives an error “charging equipment not recognized.” This happens with multiple Teslas and it happens with both the 14-50 and 5-15 adapters. Tesla Wall Connector charges just fine so it seems to be the mobile connector itself specifically. Is there a reset switch on this thing somewhere? Or I likely need to get a replacement? At almost two years old am I covered for a replacement or do I need to buy a new one? Help @grok

@actuallyajoke I've seen this when the vehicle hydroplanes or loses traction on snow or ice. Wheel slip is detected and power is reduced. Wheel slip stops and power is increased. This cycle repeats. I've also seen it happen during regenerating braking on slippery surfaces.

Encountered a strange bug on FSD 14.2.2.5 the other day. When near the max speed of the speed profile, FSD was applying and immediately reducing the power over and over, creating an sickening rocking effect (watch the power meter go up and down) Anyone else get this?

@wholemars @mooroobee The CT may or may not have been able to make that turn. A CT tested by C&D achieved 0.75 g on the skidpad - slightly worse than a plain ol' F-150, better than a G550 at 0.63 g, and nowhere near as grippy as a sports car with sticky tires at 1.2 g.

@mooroobee This video shows someone driving manually. Cybertruck’s steer by wire and four wheel steering could handle this ramp even at high speed. Even if the driver hadn’t turned FSD off, they’re still responsible for the car.

Any response other than “we told everyone FSD needs to be supervised at all times, and the driver here clearly did not” creates an opportunity for the other side to exploit the “FSD is not to blame at all” argument. Clearly, FSD put the inattentive driver in a difficult situation here. No reason to defend this outdated software. This is bad PR by Tesla and all the fans.

@brandenflasch @ChargePointnet The only time I used ChargePoint was at some complimentary stations that used to exist at Target in Bossier City, LA. After they were removed last year, I deleted the ChargePoint app.

Here's your routine reminder that if you continue calling after leaving me a voicemail at work, I add a five-minute delay for each additional time you call before I return your call.

@Tuggernutz87 @teslascope Same. One of only a small single digit number of times in 3 years of Tesla ownership where a manual check resulted in update availability.

@alexellisuk @nalinrajput23 I have a 2019 MacBook Pro with that "awful" keyboard. The most-used keys are not only shiny, but completely worn through to the clear plastic. Surprisingly, it has never has a single key failure and still gets used daily. It spends most of the time in a hot or cold car.

@brandenflasch @TeslaCharging Two years ago, I traveled to Sulphur Springs, TX to watch the total solar eclipse. I didn't expect tens of thousands of others to choose this same location. The 7 working Supercharger stalls out of 8 were clogged up for hours after the event.

@brandenflasch @TeslaCharging I suppose "uptime" to me would mean something closer to "availability" or "am I able to charge?" If 6/8 stalls are broken and 1 working one is in use, I can still charge. If all 8 stalls are in use with a waiting line 2 blocks long (yes - this has happened to me), I can't charge.

Branden Flasch@brandenflasch·
Just to make light of how absurd this uptime calculation method is - a @TeslaCharging Supercharger with 16 stalls (fairly typical site) with a needed "daily capacity" of 6 stalls could have only 3 stalls functional for the year and still be considered to have 100% uptime. Is that 100% uptime to you? (Note - this is not a completely unreasonable way to measure uptime for a charging network, but it is an unreasonable way to illustrate hardware reliability which is what they're trying to do here. Port level uptime by NEVI calculation is the de facto standard for that.)
Branden Flasch@brandenflasch

@TeslaCharging Can you please use the NEVI formula for uptime calculation instead of your made up metric? That way it's actually comparable to other published uptime.

@scotsrule08 @Tesla_AI Only within the last week (despite no changes to software version numbers) have I started experiencing failure to go at green lights and entering intersections after the light turns red even when there is ample time to stop after the light turned yellow.

FSD 14.2.2.5. Green light. Car inches forward then just… stops. Nobody there. No cars. No pedestrians. No objects. Nothing. Waited five seconds. Nothing. Had to hold the accelerator down to get it moving. I've seen others reporting this same behavior at intersections. Something is off or changed in this build. The car is seeing something that isn't there or it's hesitating on a decision that should be automatic. Green means go. 🚥
