I do about half my driving very late at night (and FSD performs wonderfully with little to no traffic at that time). I have a late '21 MY and I didn't pick up any evidence of the IR LEDs when I tried the phone camera method. However, I've found that as long as I'm looking out at the road and I...

Regarding the video quality, I think it's more likely that HW4 video output downrezzed (aka down-sampled aka decimated) to HW3 will be of somewhat higher quality. I haven't seen any direct comparisons but: There are theoretical and practical benefits from the original image being taken at a...

I have a model Y purchased in November 2021, with the lead-acid battery. Based on years of experience in Arizona with variable but often short battery lifetime, I decided to replace proactively this past week - prior to its third summer season (parked outside). My first plan was to schedule a...

No one can tell you when it will happen, but a lot of times it's on the weekend. Tesla engineers are working all the time.

Your ongoing support and Improvement of Tessie is excellent. I'm on a lifetime subscription, but I'm quite willing to donate or otherwise make up the difference to fund any Tesla charges you will incur going forward. Just tell me how and when to do it.

Florida is where Slowpoke comes to die

I keep hoping that it's more about right-sizing. (Relax, Mods, we're just talking about the FSD computer...)

I have no beef with him, he's a STEM guy (meaning his calculator has many buttons and symbols that you may not recognize). So big words are strictly for extra credit. You, the other hand, are paid to interpret complex and deliberately obfuscated regulations, so I hold you to a high standard...

I read it again and realized my slurred voice typing turned Latin into Italian, now fixed, but maybe it's both. I don't really speak Italian; I actually have trouble with the menu in fancy restaurants. And I don't speak Latin but I think we all owe something to the thoughtful Romans. (However...

Except, and I really hesitate to say this, it's one cognoscente, two cognoscenti. Otherwise, yes it's beautiful use - of the Latin language. :) I'm not picking on you #1, just holding you "accountable"...

As discussed quite a bit last year, the system can and does download map hints at the start of navigation, and perhaps during a drive, especially upon any rerouting. This was discovered and explained by @greentheonly on X = @verygreen on TMC Considering that facility exists and is used all the...

Try to note if it's sensitive to traffic behind you. It might slow less abruptly if you're being followed, but more so if it's clear to the rear.

There you go again

I suggest doing so with car facing very low evening sun, or alternatively a bright street light or facing headlights at night. The View can look just fine with high son or on an overcast day, but then gets horrible with the low angle lighting.

Calibration and/or dirt or built-up haze, which is my hobby horse based on experience.

Thanks James, I see that and I started entering information. Right now, it seems to be one big note file with freeform text, am I getting that right? That does the job, but it could be useful to have multiple no entries with dates and subjects etc. Is there a size limit I should be aware of? Is...

James, sorry if this has already been discussed: I'd be interested in a little notebook feature to record service and maintenance items. Today I swapped my 12 volt battery and there's no official record other than a purchase receipt email from the SC. Other service end DIY events would be tires...

Thanks you're right. I was just defending a fellow forum member, while trying to avoid offending anyone else. Anyway I hope you aren't going to send me a bill for this piece of advice, like you threatened to someone else recently ;)

No I think he had it right. Affect as a noun (pronounced AF-fect). A purposeful and somewhat over-expressed response or demeanor, put on for effect. Like an over-the-top actor delivering a line or a comedian playing for the laugh. Or on the internet, an emoji to communicate the tone - the...

won’t phase faze them a bit

The EU ISA (Intelligent Speed Adaptation) system is still being refined. According to a little searching, the primary method is a unified map database that the car can use with built-in GPS. This has long been included in Tesla nav, autopilot and FSD features. The biggest downside comes from...

I believe they can do an emulation mode, along the lines of Elon's comment that HW4 FSD is currently piggybacking on HW3 via camera* (and presumably procesor) emulation. They believe HW4 will eventually outperform HW3 FSD, but we won't see that until they apply the engineering resources to take...

I think the problem of Cybertruck FSD likely has more to do with its size and viewpoint limitations (without integrating the bumper camera video) and its different control response curves, particularly the variable-ratio (adaptive and context-based) steering. And more significantly, Its...

Interesting how so many people are completely misinterpreting or twisting this. If Tesla removes the requirement to torque the wheel, it's because they believe they've refined and proven camera monitoring instead. A different method to ensure the driver is paying attention. Not to allow the...

Thanks James. For this situation where I don't really want to interact with the second vehicle, I elected simply to archive it in the Tessie app. Things are back too prior normal with Alexa interaction. (FYI for those unfamilar): Meaning that if I speak clearly and with the right pacing, e.g...

Hello James, I have an inquiry about use of the Tessie Alexa skill with multiple Teslas. I've been using the Alexa Tessie Controls skill for about 2 years, mostly to activate the cabin climate before going out to the car, and occasionally for querying the cabin temperature, opening the trunk...

I will try to take a look at the Arizona and the Tucson statutes, all I remember is that over the 40+ years I've lived here, I've gone to the traffic school twice and they talked about this both times. You're supposed to complete the turn without stopping, and don't go if you don't think you can...

This has been discussed many times. In heavy traffic, I would definitely opt for the right turn followed by u-turn. And this makes even more sense now that FSD is starting to make u-turns, albeit not super smooth ones yet. Another factor is that in some states or locales, it is illegal to use...

So based on what you told us before about your home life, I'm guessing you've watched every single one of his videos, a dozen times through!

Too late ;)

Yes they changed it some time ago even though almost no one follows the two second rule. I posted about this before:

Good topic. I think they are inextricably linked, part of the AI team's job is to decide how to develop and tweak the model(s) between the Mothership training and the in-car inference. The HW3 compute is a limit they can't change in those cars (setting aside the dream of an HW5 retrofit...

Of course it's not the most difficult procedure around, and the service techs won't have much trouble. But yes it's unnecessarily difficult for something that should be a routine restore-to-100%, service check. BTW similar comments apply to the changing of the double cabin air filters, access...

Exactly the point, it should be a standardized, computer driven evaluation and yet again is a perfect candidate for an ML training project. It turns a very complex evaluation into a score and a standardized service directive. (This would supplement and not replace the real time evaluation of the...

Yes I think so, as I said above.

Possible pop-up notifications: Bridge to Nowhere Road to Hell Where are you going with this? Make up yo' damn mind You're on the wrong track buddy This is leading us nowhere You seem completely directionless To Infinity and Beyond! And the best one I think...

That's great, I'm very glad you got it resolved. As I said in my earlier posts, I think there are quite a few cars in the fleet with this problem, to a greater or lesser degree. But I also said that Tesla must be well aware of it, so I wasn't too happy to read the next part: IMO Tesla needs to...

I'm not aware of that; I've never read an anecdote about early Tesla customers not being able to get insurance (though I could imagine the very first roadster owners may have some stories to tell, along with the very first Rivian / Lucid / Vinfast owners and so on). I'd be interested if you...

This is a maximalist or argumentum ad absurdum claim. If that were true, no AV could ever succeed. In fact, no corporate liability could ever be indemnified, in a wide variety of Industries on the argument that the Deep Pockets doctribe will always lead to unavoidable existential threats. While...

This is often stated on TMC, "Tesla will never accept liability". What does everyone think Tesla was doing when it started the insurance side of the business? Just an Elon inspiration to scoop up gobs of low-hanging dollars? I don't think so. It seems pretty obvious to me that the whole point...

I'll just mildly point out that the title of the thread, and the wording of the first post, is asking who will pay $8,000 for FSD. But the poll choices don't have an option for $8K, so no data will come back about the stated question. The discussion is fine and it's happening in several threads...

Until the cheaper car and the factories are really ready for volume production, it would be a poor business strategy to announce it. If the Robotaxi version is unveiled as a significantly pricier version, or as a commercial fleet vehicle only*, Tesla avoids most of the Osborne effect. * I'll...

That's me, just squeaked into the old-school group Nov. '21 (Model Y). I'm an Intel agent! Until now, most of the Ryzen advantages related to gaming and maybe streaming, not big priorities for me. But "immersive visualizations" could be interesting.

And if there's nothing really to talk about, you can still put some clickbait thumbnail with huge letters "THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING" But still, there's nothing stopping you or me from doing the same and making money - except of course our serious scholarship and impeccable ethical standards...right?

You're just jealous (I know I am!)

The former (well, in the UK - over here they may also be needed for passenger cooling ;) ). The battery temperature is maintained via the liquid/vapor circuits of the heat pump network.

Yes, those settings are in the Autopilot menu. With the latest FSD , you have the choice of letting the car determine the maximum speed automatically, or setting a Max according to your preferences as @EVRider-FL explained. But you also need to be aware of the right scroll wheel, that is used...

Maybe the faculty just wanted him gone by that point. I'm thinking that for me, they looked at graduation as a "One-time Amnesty"

Two thoughts: 1. With the concept of FSD transfer to a new Tesla (which many of us had been requesting for years), your purchase doesn't have to expire when you get rid of the car. Tesla still needs to make the transfer a normal thing instead of a sales-boost premium, but it's slowly moving in...
