This is a LONG episode because there is SO MUCH different between MIDDY 1.0, our 2020 Tesla Model Y and the upcoming "Juniper" refresh of the 2025 Model Y.

Just be glad I didn't include all the software changes, we would have been here for DAYS!

And yes, Grok did the rendering...

We go into LOTS of detail to answer these questions that all Tesla owners of cars purchased in first part of 2023 and earlier are wondering:

1. Is HW3 Legacy
2. Will HW3 EVER get FSD V13?

Yep, it's an EPIC episode, get your popcorn ready!

Should I even admit I've had Attention Monitoring (Tesla Hands Free) since July 2024? Maybe I shouldn't even remind my listeners that I've had this since September of 2021! Yep, back then it was Driver Monitoring System, and so much has changed for the better.

Oh, and yes, I've had 12.5.1.5 since August 28th... Is it really worth the wait or should you just be happy with 12.3.6?

One year ago TODAY we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary.

Hear the details of a day we will never forget as we describe our experiences of Yellowstone Lake, the ScenicCruiser, and Gull Point Drive.

Today's episode in the #MiddyGoesToYellowstone series shares some tips and tricks for your trip to Yellowstone. I'm sure it's on your bucket list. You need to schedule it! Yellowstone is an ever changing, amazing place that is truly unique in the world. Enjoy hearing how things went on Day 5 of our trip!

Our first full day in Yellowstone doesn't disappoint. We check out the Marina where we'll soon ride the SceniCruiser on our anniversary day as well as travel to the east entrance for the first time. And the adventures never end in Yellowstone as I have to avoid the female elk to safely get to the free charging stations at Teal Dorm across the street from the Lake Hotel.

We arrive at Yellowstone and meet another couple celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary! And seven more days await us as we make this road trip our most epic ever!

This episode continues our retro style episodes for #MiddyGoesToYellowstone, telling the story of our epic roadtrip back to Yellowstone to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. While we had a little different route than back in 2018, we again stopped to Supercharge at Rawlins WY and ate at the same Pizza Hut. FSD on the highway continued to make the trip even easier than it was in 2018.

Amazing new iPhone version of the Tesla App (V4.24.0 or newer) gives you the power to create your own voice commands using the Apple Shortcuts app!

And... we have setup a new Crowd Sourced list of these shortcuts that you can use and to which you can contribute your own!

I've been following EV Dave since 2020 when I first found out he had given his then new 2020 Tesla Model Y to Kyle Conner of Out of Spec to test and experience.

After several attempts, we were able to meet in person for the first time. I asked some questions about how he got started in EVs and the amazing list of cars he's owned in the last eight years. I learned some things I never knew before!
