Thank you diplomat33, this is very helpful for my understanding of FSD. Re your second paragraph, this issue would seem to not bode well for Musk's vision for FSD, no pun intended.

I've come to understand that FSD, with it's intense data gathering, training models, and dojo neuron networks, is a large AI application. Chat GPT and other better known AI applications are known to sometimes hallucinate, to make mistakes, even to make up facts. My question is can FSD behave...

Thank you. Excuse my ignorance but I didn't even realize my car had an internal modem transmitting data to the mother ship over the phone network. But surely there's not sufficient bandwidth for video transmission from the cameras?

Good point, you're correct, but how does Tesla do that, what technology is transmitting the data?

I'm a happy and impressed FSD user who is curious about how Tesla gathers FSD data, filters and uses it to improve future versions. My first question is re Teslas not using FSD. Musk has implied that the millions of Teslas currently on the road are somehow providing the company data that will...

BTW, want to thank you all for this thoughtful discussion. I tried to have this conversation on Reddit but it went sideways fast and the mods took it down.

Interesting ideas, esp US battery production for the M3, anything to bring the price down improves sales. How much revenue does Tesla get from AI, energy, or robots for that matter? Lot of future potential but not much yet.

Seems that a reasonable argument could be made that the company is in crisis. Would like to hear your thoughts. Consider the following: missed quarterly earnings, declining quarterly sales, dramatically increasing Chinese competition, best selling Model Y long in the tooth, Model Two on hold...

The auto-brights on my Y work better than the auto-wipers, which of course isn't saying much, but frequently they work fine. However, just as often, when I'm driving at night on a dark road, no traffic, no distracting signs, no street lights, or house lamps etc, in other words where the brights...

Patrick, in your opinion how effective was the TroyStudio blanket in reducing road noise? Was it worth the $70 cost?

Thanks to both of you. So the auto setting adjusts seat and wheel heating element relative to the cabin temp. Makes sense, thanks again.

What exactly is the “auto“ setting for seat and steering wheel heaters? What is the result if they’re set to auto? Automatically sets them at what temp?
