I haven't gotten the 2024.14.6 update yet, but the wait may be worthwhile. On 5/9, Mr. Musk announced that FSD V12.4 will likely rollout next week. This is a significant update with a focus on refining passenger comfort by addressing past concerns such as abrupt acceleration and braking.

Tesla update 2024.14.x is now rolling out to customers around the world, although it could be several weeks before most customers have access. I think the latest version is 2024.14.5. I remain optimistic those of us on 2024.8.x will get the FSD free trial sometime after we're updated to the...

I think those of us on 2024.8x will start to see some FSD free trial progress soon. Tesla just started rolling out the 2024.14.3 spring update to customer vehicles. I'm optimistic we'll get the 2024,14.x release fairly soon, with the latest version of the FSD trial following shortly thereafter...

My 2022 MS is on 2024.8.9, and still no FSD trial. I'm beginning to think those of us on 2024.8x are going to have to wait until the 2024.14 update is broadly released to Tesla owners, as suggested in Tesla's Next FSD v12 Update Will Be Available For Users on 2024.8 on the Not a Tesla App...

I had a similar experience. It may have been a coincidence, but A reboot resolved it for me.

You might also want to be sure your rear seat head rest isn't loose. Today I wiggled it to be sure it was secure and found it a bit loose. I raised it up and forcefully lowered it. The looseness went away. It's an easy adjustment that's worth a try.

It seems Tesla has listened to some of our concerns. I looked at my Safety Score yesterday and it has bumped up to 99 from 96 or 97 the day before. While I don't have specifics, it appears some of the "dings" I had received for supposed errant driving have been removed from my daily record...

Apparently you don't have to use the break peddle very much to get "dinged" for hard breaking. Hopefully well see some noticeable improvement in Safety Score reporting as Tesla Insurance expands into more states and the safety score becomes more impactful on one's insurance premiums...

I have had my Safety Score for the day’s drive plummet on several occasions for odd reasons. Most issues involve forward collision warnings under the following scenarios. 1. When approaching a vehicle that is parked at the side of a neighborhood street that gently curves to the left. This...

Your wish may be coming true. Electrek just reported that Tesla filed a patent for a new steer-by-wire system. It will be interesting to see if it impacts the round vs. yoke dialog.

Electrek has reported Tesla's filing of a patent for a new steer-by-wire system. Steer-by-wire with variable ratio steering should substantially reduce the amount of steering wheel/yoke rotation required to execute a turn. U-turns, parallel parking, and other steering-intensive maneuvers should...

Maybe we'll eventually see those noisy ICE cars being a little more conservative when sitting at a light beside an EV.

Good one! :) I've experienced a few noisy neighborhood vehicles in the past. Fortunately, quieter times are ahead.

It's always fun to watch the amazing power and torque of electric cars.

So true. We all love clean air.
