I possess only TACC and Autopilot, not FSD. Prior to November 2024, I possessed a 2018 Model 3, which featured the same setting; I conducted a test to determine if the scroll wheel models also include that setting. The Autopilot manual similarly stipulates this information:

I conducted some testing on your behalf! I now possess a 2024 Model 3 including scroll wheel activation for Autopilot/TACC, without FSD, and equipped with the latest software. The Autopilot settings tab offers an activation choice for "Single Click" or "Double Click," analogous to Single Pull/Double Pull on the stalk. In "Single Click" mode, only Autopilot is engaged, necessitating a modification in settings to activate Traffic-Aware Cruise. In "Double Click" mode, the initial click engages Traffic-Aware Cruise, while the subsequent click enables Autopilot. The distinction is audible, since TACC produces a singular bong sound, but AP emits a dual-tone startup sound.

The Tesla technician who performed my last service in 2022 replaced it in the parking lot without any software involvement. He detached the PCS connection beneath the rear seat, disconnected the battery, substituted it, and thereafter reconnected the PCS.

Replacing the low-voltage battery does not necessitate a firmware update. It may be included in the Service Centre estimate as a favour on occasion. If you choose not to wait for the software update, they can initiate the download, allowing you to install it upon your return home.

One point for Avantgarde. The SL63 AMG has been present many times in the last six months. It is uncommon to see Shmees' vivid yellow AMG, four or five SLR McLarens, and many Maybachs, including a Zeppelin variant, all in one location. The individuals who own these vehicles evidently have confidence in Steve and his crew, as do I. It is over a 40-mile journey for me.

Are there any split vacuum pipes available?

If that is occurring, it should be feasible to discern with your fingertips the location of the impact inside the sump, provided you can sufficiently reach the sump. Only proceed if the sounds is not metallic. Should it be metallic, the likelihood of engine damage is significantly increased. Moreover, it is likely that nothing is impacting the plastic sump.

If, and only if, the engine is consuming itself, there will be metallic particles present in the oil. Potentially observable to the naked eye, unequivocally ascertainable with oil analysis. Enquiring about the proximity of the sump to moving mechanical components. Proximate enough that excessive tightening has caused them to make contact?

It does not seem metallic to me either.

30-year-old individual.

air intake? The S55 engine in my car does not need modifications to the air intake, since it is not suited for a derv. The 5 Series is a refined vehicle, not a vehicle for the ostentatious.

It is probable that the original owner did not choose that option.
