    According to Whole Mars Catalog, a Consumer Reports recent review rated Mercedes-Benz Driver Assistance with a higher score than Tesla Autopilot. Probably not a fair comparison when using FSD V12.3.6, but quite funny to watch none the less.. YouTube.com Whole Mars Catalog Vid

    Highland suspension on 2019 Model 3

    Any comments about the ability to bring the wheel alignment back to factory specs after changing the springs or coil-overs? Camber changes with ride height, so different springs might improve shock travel, but affect ride height

    Highland: position side mirrors further out to cover blindspot

    I agree, the side view mirrors are poor for viewing, but great looking from the outside. You can set the side cameras to display on the center display when applying turn signals. There is also blind spot warning settings. Basically with the car's traffic visualization on the center display...

    B / C pillar seal

    Could be the cameras come with the B pillar part as an assembly. It might be interesting to find out if they changed the B pillar applique part number on other car models with change to Autopilot 4.0 cameras.

    Recalibrating Cameras to Fix Driving on Lines?

    No. But just do it. Contrary to what the dialog box says, it doesn't require driving 100 miles. From my recent experience, Camera Calibration typically takes less than one mile of city driving combined with about 5 miles of highway driving. Be sure to do the calibration driving during mid-day...

    In the Controls Menu, there is a Chill setting for Acceleration under Pedals & Steering. I created a driver profile for FSD, with the acceleration set to "Chill". When driving the car, the driver profile is not shown on the Navigation Screen for selecting another profile, but you can still...

    FSD (Supervised) Camera Calibration

    Apparently FSD now requires additional Camera Calibrations, beyond the original Autopilot Camera Calibration. If you force an Autopilot Camera Re-Calibration by deleting the Calibration Data from the Controls - Service menu, you'll see that after Autopilot Calibration completes, additional FSD...
