Submitted NHTSA complaint #11587001.

Unfortunately, this is no longer the case with the FSD Supervised update. Turning the wheel also disengages cruise control. Given how many interventions I have to do while driving CA-17 with the latest FSD, this represents a very large and very NHTSA-reportable regression in safety. It needs...

Ah, my bad. Fixing the notification issues isn't exactly an easy problem to solve. I miss text messages from ChargePoint at work, too. The buzzing on the iPhone 15 Pro is just nowhere near as loud or strong as the buzzing was on my iPhone 6s, so I don't notice it. Add Do Not Disturb to that...

I wish Tesla had actually made that known in either their on-dash UI or their website. I was down to single-digit miles by the time I slid into the next V3 supercharger in Sunnyvale. (No way am I dealing with 72 kW charging starting from single-digit percent late at night.) If they had...

After less than a week on 12.3.4, I desperately want to roll back to 11.x. So far: CA-17 lane centering is way worse than before (or at least feels worse to me), and honestly, worse than pre-FSDb releases were. There's no way to engage TACC anymore (without parking the car and turning off...

Today, somebody told me that I'd left the trunk of my car open. It was in a work parking lot on a dry day, so no big deal, I guess, but it isn't the first time that has happened to me, and maybe not even the first time this year. It is just so easy to do if you get distracted while unloading...

So big that the model won't fit in HW4? 🤣

I guess that would at least partially explain why it took so long to get the transformer installed. PG&E is always slow for this sort of thing, but this one just seemed spectacularly so. 😁

I hope you're being sarcastic there. If you have no interior camera, it's incredibly easy to get a strike. Just drive through about two miles of inactive construction zones with both hands on the wheel, and pay attention to the road like you're supposed to instead of noticing the flashing on...

Any news on this site? There are six cars waiting to charge at Bernardo, and charging is peaking at just 120 kW, which means charging is way slower than usual, too.

Nobody said anything about turning it on and then tuning out. I'm talking about turning AP on because you have to do something that takes you away from complete concentration on the road for a few seconds. If Tesla wanted us to keep both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road every second...

My vehicle doesn't have a cabin camera. Also, that behavior is pure evil even on vehicles that do. 99% of the time, I engage AP precisely because I need to take my eyes away from the road to deal with something on the touchscreen. That is absolutely the worst possible time for it to be...

I've seen these problems with the new release on enough different vehicles (both with and without cameras) to conclude that this update is fundamentally flawed, and distracting to the point of being dangerous. NHTSA should force a recall of their recall.

The hands on wheel detection massively regressed in recent builds, thanks to a hopelessly botched NHTSA recall. It now has a 50/50 chance of claiming that I don't have my hands on the wheel, with audible warning, with no prior visible warning, about a second after engaging autopilot. I...

This new recall update has made FSD AutoPilot basically unusable. It has a 50/50 chance of triggering a hands-on-wheel audible warning within one second after engaging AutoPilot, which results in me immediately disengaging AutoPilot to avoid the risk of getting a strike. Audible nags trigger...
