It would have been nice if the "hold rear door handle for three seconds" thing also worked for unlocking the charge port.

As I recall, Elon Musk once proposed eliminating the nag for owners who had driven with FSD for a certain number of miles, but the NHTSA shot that down. Though the software has dramatically improved since then, such that removing the nag at least for highways could be justified. The problem here...

And now Elon Musk is claiming that the steering wheel nag will be "fixed" with FSD 12.4 - though technically that doesn't mean it'll be completely gone. Elon Musk hints Tesla is adjusting big complaint with next FSD (Supervised) release

I finally have 2024.3.10 - still no Autopark.

Is there any word on how much longer vehicles with ultrasonic sensors would have to wait for this new Autopark (as well as the recent improvements to FSD)?

I do - does this update not support that? And what of FSD 12.3.2?

I have a 2022 Model Y with FSD 12.3 and 2023.44.30.25, and it still isn't offering me the new update. What gives?

And then there are all the elderly/disabled individuals who simply aren't capable of driving manually, for whom self-driving cars would represent a major quality of life improvement. Once they start to reap the benefits, it'll be hard to speak out against this technology without looking like an...

I have v12.3, and the scroll wheel thing works for me. I've also seen people on Reddit claim that it works for them as well. Odd... And as for the TSL6, being able to open the charge port door with the rear door handle sounds useful.

If Tesla ever does get their robo-taxi app going, there'd certainly be no need to charge as much as they are now They'll presumably be taking a percentage of the fares their users earn - it would be a simple matter to set that to cover enough of the FSD R&D costs that they could offer it for...

CCS charging stations go up to 350kW, though even a 150kW charger should be able to do better than that. It sounds like the limiting factor is the Ariya's battery and/or charging electronics, which wouldn't change by plugging into a Supercharger.

About that: Running an ethernet cable to the window would not be practical. Nor would a mesh system - I need a conventional router to plug in my desktop and NAS box.

If you're looking for FSD, make sure you see a screenshot of the car's "software" tab showing that the FSD software license is in fact there. I've been to two different dealers who had advertised Model Ys with "self driving", only to find out that they were referring to the hardware that cones...

I've recently purchased my first Tesla (2022 Model Y), and it can't see my home wifi. My router is a Netgear Nighthawk X4S R7800 (from back around 2016) located in an office with several walls between it and the apartment parking lot where my car is. There's an outlet right next to a window...

Or more processing power - notice that Tesla is already working on HW5.

About that: I notice that there exist aftermarket 12v lithium batteries for older Model Ys. I've arranged to purchase an early 2022 Model Y - think I should just go ahead and upgrade the lead-acid battery as soon as I bring it home?

On top of that, they're going to work towards getting their matrix headlights to meet the stricter US regulations (unlike Polestar who were all "screw it, we give up"): https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1939/tesla-says-adaptive-headlight-support-is-coming-to-the-u-s

Actually, Dr. Know-It-All examined the first Super Bowl ad, and found that of all the interior shots, the steering wheel icon in the top of the screen appeared to be gray (indicating that FSD was off).

I understand BYD is planning on building a factory in Mexico to sidestep import regulations. Though there's still the question of how much interest Americans would have in cars from a Chinese company, given their track record.

Speaking as a robotics engineer, when I saw the first video of Tesla's V12 software, I immediately thought that it would be our best hope of handling the nuances of real-world driving. Plus eliminating the need for LIDAR is the best hope for making self-driving cars affordable for the average...

Yeah, I don't think I'm comfortable with that.

My primary near-term (that is, before Tesla gets regulatory approval for level 3+ autonomy) interest in FSD was for complex highway setups where it may not be clear which lane you should be in.

At the very least, if newer hardware proves to be necessary for unsupervised self driving, Tesla would be under a lot of pressure to open up FSD transfers again. Or I could just hold on to this car until I could get a similar deal on a used HW4/HW5 car.

Just make sure that it actually does have FSD. I've been to two different dealers advertising used Model Ys with "self driving", only for them to tell me that that only referred to the hardware which comes with every Yesla, not the software license.

I wanted to hold on to my current car (which is approaching 200,000 miles) until the Model Y refresh comes out, but now that that's been pushed back to 2025, that may not be an option. Though Tesla offering limited-time FSD transfers for the second time had me thinking: What if I were to buy a...

How do you mean? For years, Elon Musk has been talking a big game about how true self-stiving is just around the corner. Plus it's hard to deny that the words "full self-driving" imply at least some capacity for operating without human supervision. Though we can't rightly declare it "vaporware"...

My understanding here is that the Hardware 3 computer was designed with redundant CPUs, presumably to prevent what happened to you. But then over the years, the FSD software grew to where it required the combined power of both CPUs. This does not bode well for them getting regulatory approval...

How does this work? Would I have to come to Milwaukee to get it? Is there a way to get this on a car from inventory in between putting down a deposit and picking it up?

Meanwhile, the Comma aftermarket system can drive your car on the highway indefinitely without you having to lay a finger on the steering wheel, but the NHTSA has never bothered them about that: https://www.comma.ai/
