Generally agree, but I'm not sure I followed your statement here. If we hit a low this month, how can we know we're on an upturn now? It's still May. Reports aren't complete. Anyway, I totally agree that most, but not all, have had natural exposure, if not disease. I can't help but think that...

I do wonder if I had a subclinical case or two somewhere along the line. They aren't uncommon. I have to have been exposed often enough. And as far as immunity, what doesn't kill you or give you long covid makes you stronger. I didn't intentionally leave my mask in the hotel storage while we...

Yes, they are quite handy.

Boosted just prior to 2.5 weeks of planes, trains, restaurants, crowds, 6 countries. I wore a mask for a few hours on the way out. My wife was better about it. Nothing, and we're home...still never evers.

I hope it's correct that his pro Russian stance is softening. However he ran on a platform of no slovak government money to support Ukraine. He is, due to Slovakia's government system, a minority PM. There are many many Slovakians who support Ukraine...

Mine must be illiterate.

It would be interesting to know if the car requires a good data connection in order to "read" signs. Much like it needs that to exercise voice commands. Nevertheless, FSDS ignores signs in places where the cell signal is excellent, as well as marginal, for us.

ID 55 in Valley County and US 95 in Adams County, Idaho, among several others. These are the main North - South routes in the long axis of the state.

Has anyone tested this with V12.x? I had better results with last year's V11

Oh, I don't disagree that the maps can be wrong.

So what you imply is that only my car fails at reading signs. And does so consistently in the same places. Ok. I find that difficult to understand.

I am merely suggesting that a correctly followed speed limit would not distinguish map reading from sign reading. It could be either. If, as I experience regularly, the sign says 65 mph, and the car goes 45mph, and the software on the screen displays 45mph, it isn't reading the signs. It might...

If mapping is excellent, you would never be able to tell the difference between mapping and reading. It's only when it fails that one would be able to know.

Not where I live. I don't see any evidence at all that it's "reading" anything. If the map data is good, maybe it appears to someone it is reading signs. But if the map data is bad, like 30 out of 100 miles where I am, it blows right past perfectly legible signs.

I have tried recalibration and rebooted for the 3 versions of FSDS I have experienced this last month. No change in the "behavior" when encountering a reduced speed zone, when the car's mapping is correct. It just coasts. No active slowing. This is the same behavior all of my friends experience...

I have Nokian Hakkas with studs on OEM rims. I am very happy with them. "Summer" tires now Nokian Ones, a little oversized for a bit of lift. They got me through the terrible roads last week when there were slide offs happening around us. I find range is mostly: can I get to the next charger I...

I was on line when they did the call last spring and gave my two cents. Advocated for your concern as well as my own.

For those who might be interested, the 50 kW level 3 charger in Grangeville is now open. Will make for reliable travel North and South both winter and summer through central Idaho. Unfortunately, I am afraid that the Tesla SC in McCall won't be built because...EM. At least the Charge Point at...

There was a CT in McCall for 3 or 4 days about 2 weeks ago. Visiting from out of town.

Just rode a solar electric bus in Netherlands!

I have an email from Tesla from a week ago saying my "trial" would end yesterday. It continues to function today.

Same. Used it long enough to determine that it still doesn't slow down from 65 to 25 mph without disengagement. Also, it doesn't slow down for icy roads.

100% Pulling out of a parking space front facing is safer than backing out, especially when you don't have cross traffic alert (=TESLA). That said, people will almost always pull into your spot if you are screwing around trying to back in. At least, where I am.

I very much had slowdowns prior to the speed limit sign last fall. Not yet this year.

Yeah, no, no offset enabled. I prefer to adjust that using the thumbwheel because I use different amounts in different contexts. The more I think of it, it's as though it doesn't apply any brakes while FSDS is enabled, neither mechanical nor regen. It just seems to coast. Next time I'll check...

It visualized a wild turkey crossing the road (we were going 65) in front of us the other day. Don't know if it would have stopped or swerved in time because we hit the brakes, but it was interesting to see it visualize.

Haven't seen a lot of this reported although maybe a few mentions, so I am bringing it up to see if this is widespread. I have found that with both 12.3.3 and 12.3.4 FSDS the car is terrible at slowing down for new speed zones, as well as curves. This is nothing close to what I experienced with...

I think we'll all go down with the ship: captain, crew, and passengers.

There is a part of me that thinks that humanity deserves the extinction it seems to be attempting on itself.

Totally agree that TFG has not changed his spots. Someone probably explained that horrendous losses by a Ukraine unsupported by the US unfolding on the news over the next 6 months would lose him (foremost) and the Republican party a significant number of votes. So he is giving it a tepid thumbs...

It would be so nice of Tesla to give us an option to precondition our batteries on the way to a non-SC. Some of us have no choice but to charge at those when travelling.

It's saying there are (at least) two wings of the party that have some major points of disagreement. Johnson, apparently, came to the realization that he falls in with the more traditional (Reagan) wing, and has calculated he has the support from enough democrats (for now) to survive this...

We absolutely cannot use FSD on icy roads with sharp curves, which is most of our daily driving in the winter. It's pointless because the car takes those curves too fast even when it's dry. And potholes. And, for us, the maps FSD uses are horribly wrong where we live so it makes lots of...

You make some good points. That said, the impact of cattle on the environment at the levels we currently enjoy, cannot be denied. Somewhere there's a sweet spot between lower demand, reduced intensity, and balancing diet better than many of us do.

Yes. Of course. Therefore my point: it fulfills your remark. Plants can do all of that if they are sprinkled with animal stuff. They aren't exempt. They can also transmit chemicals which are carcinogenic/poisonous/etc. in addition. This is why we have to wash our plant foods and often they are...

Better support from Rs than I anticipated. Good to see.

That said, my aunt died of listeria she got from cutting a cantaloupe in half.

Mike finds Jesus.

There's a stretch of highway south of me. 20 miles long, maybe. FSD is programmed to believe the speed limit is 45 mph. No matter that the speed limit has never been 45 since the road was paved some 75 years ago. No matter that 65mph signs are clearly posted periodically. No matter that the...

You may be right. Maybe someday someone will build an intelligent FSD. Hasn't happened yet.

FSD is absolutely trained. Another word you might use is programmed. It has no ability to learn. None. That's why it's not intelligent.

An intelligent honey bee would know that bears aren't bothered by bee stings and have been digging up hives to feast on, unimpeded for millions of years.

This is a great discussion, and probably headed a bit off topic. I would love to pursue it! That said, I would not give the task of driving my car to a honeybee. It is wonderful, but it will never be able to anticipate the hard stuff: the likelihood of a kid running out between two cars, or...

No, it's a very good question. Here's one (of several) definition I found to be helpful: The mental quality that consists of the abilities to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to control an environment. The "AI" we are...

There's no "intellect" or intelligence in AI. It's just a next level algorithm. The term should be AA.

Well, yes, the few times they visualized we were at highway speeds, but again, only a tiny fraction visualized. In the past, and with AP, they all visualized with V 11.

Thanks. But then that makes me wonder why it did, in a couple of places.

Noticed that 12.3.3 and 12.3.4 don't visualize trash containers or orange barrels, cones etc. (except when they did). Is that new? This weekend we passed about 200 orange barrels, cones, stakes or other markers and maybe 3 showed up. But they did. 🤷‍♂️

Ha! That reminds me of a friend (passed on, now) who said many times, "Never pass up a good erection." He had diabetes and missed the opportunity for 12 years before he died.

"Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we all must die!" There's a certain amount of resignation to fate that humans have, as well. But think of it this way: most humans throughout history and before, including pre-human ancestors, couldn't afford to pass up a meal of any sort. It's hard...
