Not sure, could be. I've been getting updates like crazy, which is good because each update has made noticeable improvements

One thing I want to ask...do you have your Tesla connected to Wifi (home or work)? Updates will only be downloaded either on Wifi or using your phone as a hotspot even if you have premium data

Yes, I have a very strong wifi signal in my garage. Oh, and yes it's connected to it.

Ok, so I went in and checked the software setting in the Y. It showed "Standard" and I changed it to "Advanced". I don't know if one of us changed that, or standard means you get updates slower. Anyway, we're now on 2023.32.7. The release notes shows only that they added Hebrew language to the touchscreen. I guess I don't get to see what all the accumulated updates changed.

I was actually going to ask you that next, but got distracted. The Hebrew language was about two updates back. There is a site I believe called Not a Tesla app that will give you more details on the updates. Good catch

Yesterday my wife and sister in law decided to plan a last minute trip to visit an Egyptian Coptic Christian church in the Central Valley that was holding an Egyptian festival with food, art etc. It was located in a small town near Modesto, CA with lots of farms, about 70 miles from my brother in laws house in Fremont. Here are the roads it took us through









I had not charged that night, so I started the trip around 70 percent SoC. We got to our destination at 43 percent SoC. When we were leaving I checked the trip planner, and it reported to me that I would get back home with 11 percent SoC. Since there was a nearby Tesla Supercharger, I made a quick stop to charge (.28 cents kWh) and got home with 42 percent SoC

One of the weaknesses of removing parking sensors and going fully optical is that at this point it can't distinguish the lighter outer concrete on the street from the actual curb...the parking sensors think that the outer concrete part is the curb:



Not a big deal in the scheme of things as I would rather it be overly cautious than me curbing the wheels!

why didn’t you wait to get home to charge? Charging at home is cheaper right?

Of course. But a little top off at a high speed charger, 10 minutes or less for $3 to $4, beats the snot outta range anxiety.
This is what I do as well. If I am coming home to Silicon Valley, there are Superchargers everywhere so pushing it is easier on the mind...

These cars are different; you learn.

Most definitely, but since the chargers were close by, I decided to top off. We had time to kill, my wife and sister in law were in a separate car, they decided to go to a mall in the area, and we didn't have the keys for my brother in law's house (I had his son's with me)

Mine didn't receive the software update alert yet. Currently sitting with ver. 2023.32.6

I decided to switch the battery display from % to mile a few days ago. The range of 90% is only 255 miles instead of 273 or 272 miles. It has 6,000 miles now, so it would be awful if it already has a 6% degradation in battery efficiency. I'm hoping it is just a glitch.

I've heard that the first one or two years Tesla batteries take a big hit, than stabilize
