One of the major problems I have had with FSD 12.3.6 is that is does not understand posted signage. Cases in point:
1. Traveling on "State Highway 35" in Wisconsin where the speed limit varies from 55MPH on open stretches to 40MPH around curves to 30MPH thru towns and as low as 20MPH in School Zones "When Children Are Present". So here we are on an open stretch traveling 55MPH when we pass a sign indicating that we are on State Hwy 35 - it's a black&white sign that does not resemble a speed limit sign but the car thinks it is the new speed limit and FSD all of a sudden decides to slow to 35 MPH at which point I either disengage or hit the accelerator to maintain 55MPH lest I get rear-ended. After several repeated instances of this behavior over a few miles, i decided to let it slow down and see if it figures out what the actual speed limit is. It seems that FSD notices the error and after about 5 seconds will, on its own, resume the posted speed. Thus, FSD and/or the car needs to understand exactly what kind of sign it is reading.
2. School Zones: FSD does not understand that it needs to own down in a school zone. This is a bit more complex task than just changing the speed of the car. My experience thru four different school zones is that FSD seems to ignore School Zone speed limits entirely and I had to disengage.
3. Speed Limit signs when going around sharp curves like Exit Ramps. For example, traveling 60MPH approaching a sharp curve that has signs posted to take the curve at 30MPH. FSD did not slow down and I had to disengage and took said curve at 42MPH. This has happened on multiple occasions so I rarely let FSD drive on roads with sharp curves (besides, I sound like my dad: "You're going too fast! Slow down!" And I'm 66 years old now)
4. Construction Zones: FSD sort of seems to know what a construction zone is but does not always seem to read or understand the "Construction Zone Speed Limit" signs -or- to resume the normal speed limit when it sees the "End Construction" sign.
5. Lane Indicator signs and perhaps road surface lane markings. Quite often the Navigation system seems to know which lane should be used in situations where there is, say, four lanes: a right turn only, a forward only, a forward-or-left, and a left turn only lane. FSD has often chosen the right-turn-only lane to go forward because there were cars in each of the lanes covering the lane markings. But there was a lane-indicator sign that FSD ignored. Again, FSD really needs to be able to read and understand all the various sorts of signs and put them into the immediate driving context.
6. Motoring down a freeway at 60MPH. Take an exit that, at the top of the ramp, has a single lane that simply continues onto the side street (there is no stop or yield sign and no merging with traffic on that road). There is a speed limit sign that reads "City-wide Speed Limit 25 unless otherwise posted". Then a few feet later there is a posted speed limit of 30MPH and FSD slows to 30MPH. A few feet after that, I have no idea why, FSD decides the speed limit is now 55MPH! Nope! I do not know what triggers this but it is repeatable. FSD should be more aware of what sort.of street it is on and take that context into consideration when it gets conflicting information.
7. This point isn't a posted sign issue but rather, the lack of a posted sign. Scenario: traveling on a road with a speed limit of 25MPH. Approaching an intersection where the only choice is to turn right onto the highway. Come to a stop sign, stop, turn right onto a highway that has a speed limit of 55MPH but that speed limit isn't posted when turning onto the highway so FSD creeps along at 25MPH on a 55MPH highway. FSD and/or the car Navigation system should know the speed limit for that highway.

I found this and saw some positive reviews on YouTube. Has anyone on here had any experience with them to get Apple CarPlay?

With a 4WD, 400+hp, 4400lbs vehicle, it's a very wise thing to VISUALLY inspect all 4 tires on a regular basis, regardless of its straight tracking.

I'm surprised by the number of posters who come here AFTER thousands of miles of driving with unevenly worn tires, asking for tire warranty replacement, or blaming Tesla for a design flaw.

Inspect your tires. Uneven wear can be seen/felt very early, prior to trashing a tire.

I have a 2023 Model Y (Long Range) with the 19inch Gemini Wheels. Specifically, I have tbe Pirelli Scorpion MS tires.

I have 6,250 miles on it and went to rotate the tires today.

I lifted from the back lift point and was able to raise the entire side of the vehicle and rotated the front to back and back to front. I repeated it with the other side as well. Just like this…



After reading the manual online, I’m wondering if I was supposed to do the cross pattern? Can anyone confirm?

And is it bad that I lifted the entire side of the vehicle using the one back jack point?

Our friends at Tesla finally fixed a Slacker bug that's been driving me crazy. However many months ago it was, the bug came along with an update (duh!). It would restart the tune streaming on Slacker when I got back in the car vs. pause and restart. With update 2024.14.6, it pauses and picks up where are it left, just like before. YAY!

And FWIW, I like the GUI tweaks. So far, I've only noticed the energy bar and turn signals have moved. I'm not sure what else has happened. I like it so far.

Now I 'm down to one significant rant: trigger an audio alert when the BMS sees traffic and turns the repeater camera red... you know, kinda like a normal car! LOL!

Has anyone noticed this on 2024.14? Sentry Mode is coming on at home and work, even though they’re excluded in the settings.

I have a Tesla Model 3 2021. A few days ago I got the message that I have a free one month trial of FS, I have played with it a little just for fun, but don't see much value in it? However, the Autopark feature sound like it could be helpful to me, as I am not very good at parking. Yet I cannot figure out how to use it?

The manual says if driving below 15 MPH, the screen sill show parking space, that one can tap one and the car will park there? However, no matter how slow I drive, I have never seen those highlighted parking spaces? I've tried giving voice commands like "Autopark" or "Park Car", and that doesn't work?

How does one use the Autopark feature? Is it any good?

Tried the free one month trial they pushed out - FSD 12.3.6. Much improved from before!

Isn't 12.4 supposed to be even better? When are 2020 S's likely to get it? I heard it was rolling out in mid may?

Hi all,

Last night I was driving with a friend and my Tesla M3 highland randomly said “I call shotgun” while we were talking.

Has anyone had the car do this before? Is it some Easter egg situation? I vaguely recall that we were talking about how good the car would be at drive-by’s, on account of how quiet it is.

Just got the upgrade somehow and have been using it on local roads.

Car was bought in late 2017 with EAP on MCU 1 and AP 2.5. Later on paid for the MCU 2 upgrade.

Other than that, I never paid for a FSD upgrade or for HW 3. So was a bit confused when I got the notification that the car had a FSD trial activated and confirmed that it is indeed making local road turns. Am I missing something? I thought a car with AP 2.5 or below needed to be brought in for hardware upgrades before FSD could work?

Looking at each vehicles specs, capabilities etc it seems the S LR is the better performer. Why doesn’t the LR S qualify for the same badging as the new 3P? Looking forward to some side by side track tests.

First of all, I know I'm preaching to the EV choir here so the responses to this might be biased. Second, not sure if any of you watch Cash's videos but he's been going very negative lately anyway.

Watch his video (as far as you can before getting fed up) and let me know your thoughts.

Is this the end of EVs?

Or are his points mostly NYC problems?

Hi All,
I want to know if I order model Y rwd in Ireland then which battery type will I get ? Is it LFP or NCA type(in most of the model)
I know In US, model 3 standard and model Y Rwd use have LFP but now sure with Ireland models.

Is anyone else’s Powerwall offline?

Mine’s gone dark and says no recent data available

Hello,

I'm on the fence to purchase a used MX 2016 P90D founder #18 with 117K miles for $25k. The seller already replaced the HV and rear drive train while under warranty a year ago. Since the car is out of warranty for everything, my concern is that how long will the replaced HV & motor will last? Should I be aware of any major problems down the road? This is my first Tesla and I just want to own it for another 4-5 years. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello All,

Seems like several threads on this warning, but wanted to confirm some specifics and latest information:

1. My S is P100D, 2016.5, I scheduled service, but the nearest appointment available to me is over a month away! With this error, is the car actually safe to drive? Or should I be sidelined for until Tesla makes time for me? Should I drive with some precautions?

2. Can anyone confirm if Tesla will cover part or all of this repair under the 8 year battery warranty? I've read both ways. What's the latest?

3. If not covered by the Tesla battery warranty, do any of the 3rd parties cover this like CarShield or XCare?

4. Anything else I need to know?

Thank you all!

I installed the Gen3 wall connector yesterday. I am an experienced electrical/computer engineer. Installing such a simple product is a easy job for me, usually.

After the installation, I follow the commissioning instructions on the small booklet (Installation Guide inside the packaging box). I connect the WiFi from my iPhone and visit http://192.168.92.1 from the Safari browser. It's vert slow and after a long time, only a picture showed up. I use my laptop for the connection, I got the information that I need to power cycle the wall connector or press the button on the handle for 5 seconds. I tried both ways multiple times, and use different phones and computers, but it never worked.

I googled it, that was supposed for me to setup the charge current and restrict what vehicles it can charge.

I bought some $10 smart pugs, and their setup is smoother than this $450 charger.

I was prepared to stay with Tesla for a good while. Even though I cannot stand Elon.

I keep reading more and more about Elon firing left and right.

I suspect we’ll stop seeing software updates soon and soon it will be hard to get parts.

Elon looks like he is giving up and putting all chips on robotaxi and FSD.

I was hoping for an S/X based on all the updates in cybertruck.

Looking at Lucid Gravity but that won’t be available for a while. And they are not in great financial shape.

Range and efficiency is crap on so many EV’s

Am buying my first Tesla (Model 3 LR) and the bulk of cars I am seeing in my budget are rather higher mileage than I would like - a lot are 70k+ miles. I have seen the stories of cars making astronomical miles but am wondering if those are the exception, with the norm being a lot of big bills. Any thoughts?

Wasn't sure if the machining design would look good, and since these were just for the track/check clearances, figured I'd give it a try. Turned out way better than expected. These are factory specs on 19". Weigh about 3 pounds less than the 19" OEM with hubcaps on. Need to implement a design change on one aspect of it, then will get a set in 21" with a machined lip around the entire wheel instead of broken up like it is.

I've been very unimpressed with the integration of iMessage and the Tesla system. That damn button in the bottom left never works for me. Curious if others are frustrated with the experience or maybe its just me.

I wonder why, also wonder if this will eventually affect vehicles that already have steam installed?

Before I got my free FSD trial, I had the interior camera blocked to prevent it from looking at my eyes when using autopilot. However, I just got the FSD trial and it won't activate FSD if the interior camera is blocked. So, I unblocked the camera and it is now blurry. I would think that this is due to the calibration adjusting to the blocked state and I wonder if there is a way to recalibrate the interior camera? I know that you can recalibrate the autopilot/FSD cameras towards the exterior but I'm not sure if that would recalibrate my interior camera not to be blurry. On the positive side, being blurry prevents FSD from watching my eyes and I can look away without FSD shutting off but I'd still want my interior camera to function properly. Lens is clean, so, that's not the issue.
