This is my plate holder. Probably not noticed much.

See if the native app will work for you first. I used the Tessie app and had some inexplicable charging starts during high peak periods. They continued until I changed my Tesla password. Your cheap period is only five hours?

In the three merges I've done since reading this, that's been the case: No cars, no signal Car in right lane, signal Car in left lane, no signal. But when you think about it, what would be the point of this? Easier to just always signal. But perhaps this is due to the NN training.

True, but I get my audiobooks from an app called Libby through my library. Books from an outside source can't be listened to via Audible.

Well, it happened again yesterday. First time in a few years. I disengaged to take an exit, and was choosing a new destination when I realized I hadn't reengaged. Caught it quickly.

Right, I had a few scares early on when I thought it was driving and it wasn't. I'm not sure even that would be enough. My system: When I'm driving, I put two hands on the wheel.

I've found that the car sometimes turns on the directional signal when merging on to a highway, sometimes not. Can't see any difference that would explain that.

Good guess, but I haven't made any changes in that setting recently.

Here's what I guess happened there. The car was driving below the speed limit on a straightaway, so the driver pressed the accelerator briefly. The car then sped up and failed to slow down for the curve. That's something I've observed.

On FSD yesterday, the car actually got out of the left (passing) lane on its own. Twice. I was like, "Whoa!" This was on a 50 MPH section that had crossroads. Later, on the limited access 65 MPH section it stayed in the left lane for miles even when someone came up behind me (and tailgated)...

Here's another analogy that is sometimes relevant: I had a friend who lived on a windy, mountain road. He drove on that road every day. When I rode as a passenger with him on that road, I was freaked out about how fast we were going. But he was actually driving safely, and after I'd driven...

A problem with the blocks is that you can trip over them when the car is not in the garage. I used the tennis ball approach with another car, but I used a ball of aluminum foil instead. Backing in has advantages depending on your topography.

Nice. I used it to practice my Photoshopping skills:
