    AP/FSD related crashes

    Not specific on trains but it's a generic warning in the manual, under Autopilot, Full Self-Driving: What you bought is: 1) not a collision warning system or 2) not a collision avoidance system. How much more specific would you want it to say? 2 deaths on autopilot collided with the...

    AP/FSD related crashes

    Your link to the video works fine. This forum allows picture uploads but not video uploads. For video, you upload it first to some where else like dropbox, YouTube then post the link here. Jurors have consistently favored Tesla in past Autopilot cases citing the inattentiveness of drivers...

    Is it time to dump and run?

    You might be overreacting. Elon Musk essentially killed Twitter by firings and selling identity verifications with lots of chaos but it's still around. Tesla makes cars for robots but Lucid makes them for humans.

    BMS_u031 - Battery fuse requires replacement soon - Some questions...?

    1) your car still drives fine. It's a high voltage safety issue for first responders in a crash. 2) in the beginning, Tesla didn't cover this but after complaints they now do. 3) I didn't see why not covering it. 4) Don't freak out as long as your car doesn't crash. If it does, it's a safety...

    FSD hardware upgrade front camera quality

    You paid FSD, you should get all the features of FSD. I wouldn't worry about the cameras but I would care if they can't do the current new FSD: That means it should go through and shouldn't stop at every green light. That means it should automatically turn at a city intersection. If your...

    FSD hardware upgrade front camera quality

    New FSD (Navigate on Autopilot on city streets) doesn't work with old cameras. Old FSD (stops at a green light) works with old cameras.

    Help Evaluating Battery Analysis

    It's good according to the report. This report doesn't have any options to predict any future performance or longevity. It's just like the tire pressure is good now but it doesn't tell whether the air is leaking or you'll get a flat tomorrow.

    Tesla Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Litigation, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 22-05240

    I think you don't need to do anything. When it's settled or there's a judgement, you'll be notified by mail to accept by doing nothing or to not accept that by opting out. Tesla has ownership records that's also obtained by the lawyers for the payment. Usually, the amount is symbolic so I...

    Supercharger Layoffs Affected Progress?

    CNBC report on the progress: It's a question mark but a contractor team heading to continue a Supercharger job was instructed to turn around in the middle of the way, leaving the unfinished station unfinished. But the opinion is it will be finished some time, or otherwise, it's a "liability" site.

    How to remove auto steer beta?

    Since it is in yours, you can configure the way you want in the Autopilot menu: 1) TACC or 2) Autosteer or 3) FSD Since you don't want FSD, you can switch to either 1) TACC or 2) Autosteer

    Tesla was awarded with NEVI funds to expand charging stations. The problem is it has a 5 year deadline so there's no need to hurry up. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/analysis-teslas-ev-charging-team-100223709.html

    [UK] Does FSD have any second-hand value?

    It has some value for those go crazy about how awesome FSD is. Even within that population, you can't overcome the fact that the $15,000 didn't increase to a promised price of $100,000 but now fell to $8,000.

    There's no question the department will be repopulated again. It's a the question of how much progress we'll see during the department destruction.

    Advanced Autopilot gone?

    As @dandiggz explained. Tesla no longer sells EAP. However, if you have already bought EAP, it will not disappear. If you haven't bought EAP or FSD before, you are correct that Tesla only sells auto park and summon in FSD because it no longer sells EAP. However, if you already bought EAP...

    Advanced Autopilot gone?

    The picture you included says "Enhanced Autopilot." So, it looks like you bought "Enhanced Autopilot," but you still mistakenly think there's another one called "Advanced Autopilot." Tesla has never sold "Advanced Autopilot," just "Enhanced Autopilot." You can see that acronym a lot "EAP."...

    CA electricity bills will have new fixed fees based on income

    It's sad because it encourages consumption rather than conservation and residential electric production. It used to be the more a consumer used, the higher the rate they paid. Now, the rate is lower to encourage consumption. The fixed fee is added to ensure residential solar production still...

    Waymo

    1. It's not LA, it's Tempe, AZ. 2. Then it should turn right and reroute to the destination. This incident is not a good example for robots.

    Waymo

    It looks like Waymo is programmed to be aggressive, impatient, and wrong. It wanted to turn left but was blocked on its front by cars waiting in the median. Instead of waiting for those to clear out, ít went ahead and turned left into the wrong way lane and could have had a head on collision...

    Supercharger Layoffs Affected Progress?

    Another Tesla Charger that I forgot is for Tesla Semi. It's an infant. Tesla semi was promised with V4 Chargers: Tesla Semi Will Charge At 1+ MW Using New V4 Charging Cable For trucks, other have been using MCS (Megawatt Charging System). Tesla needs to work with MCS for a national standard.

    I am frankly shocked by how stunningly ugly the Cybertruck is

    I care about function more than beauty. I pre-ordered it for $79,990 because it would give me 500 miles of range. Now, it costs $96,390 for only a 320-mile range, so it looks like the function also failed, even with the sacrifice of the look.

    Autopilot vs FSD

    The difference is that you can Navigate On Autopilot on City Streets. It can interact with signals to stop, go, and turn automatically in the city. Autopilot has 2 features: 1) TACC 2) Centering within a lane automatically. Within a lane that means it cannot automatically turn at an...

    Here's the reference for the Mercedes L3 at 80 MPH. I expect other L3 companies will have to catch up too: "Mercedes-Benz is focusing on SAE Level 3 conditionally automated driving with the ultimate goal of driving at speeds of up to 80 mph (130 km/h) in its final iteration."...

    I would argue that the traditional way is about safety. Tesla seems to put profits before safety. Less cameras, less USS, less radar, less heads-up display, less physical buttons... are great for experimental robots, but drivers are not robots. In 2019: “We discussed a HUD [for Model 3]...

    BMW Personal Pilot L3

    It's a baby small step to start a consumer L3 when a driver is no longer liable for accidents. That liability shift is huge. Thus, to manage it, manufacturers want to operate L3 in conditions that discourage damages and deaths. Some of those are: .Divided highways, no city streets, no...

    With FSD purchase, on the Autopilot screen, you now have 3 options: 1) TACC or 2) Autosteer or 3) FSD For convenience, I guess you can set up 3 different profiles once so you can manually change the profile accordingly instead of going to the Autopilot screen menu each time (have to be in...

    Tire losing air

    It's time for a tire service. Tesla doesn't honor any tire warranty. You have to call the tire company for that. As others said, I would just go to a local tire shop. Make sure they don't damage the main high voltage battery pack at the bottom of your car. Many local tire shops also sell a...

    AP (EAP) dropped from 70mph to 40mph without driver intervention
