I read that Tesla vision owners were going to get summon in April. It is now May. I haven’t been able to find anything more with a timeline. Does anyone have any info? I wish musk would spend less time thinking up uninteresting acronyms for his features and more time making them a reality…

Better braking and handling. Stock 19” wheels have 255 wide fronts if you go to 305 you have now increased the tire size by 20% and traction and braking accordingly. This car needs it with how much it weighs.

Couldn’t give a single F about longevity or reliability issues if I’m using the vehicle as designed. But will do everything possible to preserve condition of vehicle as far as charging frequently only to 80%, etc

Oh and do you need at least a 9mm spacer to fit 305 or will a 5mm work? Thanks for your help… saves me so much time vs. trial and error engineering this myself for the first time. Have you looked into changing alignment settings at all? If I can get this car to track straight at speed without...

Appreciate the feedback. Cant believe the c6z06 fits a 305 front. I’m used to the mid engine cars with 235-245 fronts and cramped toe boxes. Any recommendations on where to pick up a 2nd set of rear rims? Direct from Tesla?

Also if you’re auto crossing sounds like you know handling. Did lowering improve the handling without adjusting the dampening or did you do it primarily for cosmetic reasons?

My September 23 build plaid has hw4

You are running 305 in the front? Wow. How is steering feel? Would 305s work with a 5mm spacer or do you need the 9mm?

Do the Tesla service centers replace tires?

So I should just drive through a parking lot and the car will automatically offer the option to auto park? So far I haven’t seen that but if that’s the deal I’ll keep trying. Does it parallel park as well? What about summon- did they get that working as well?

Good to know, thanks. How do you activate the auto park sequence?

I have a hw4 plaid and to my knowledge neither the summon or auto park features are active..?

Mine did this once. Like better part of a dozen errors. Steering was effed, no regen braking, no arc, no abs. Suuuuper dangerous. I blame tesla cheapibg out on the wiring harness and daisy chaining everything versus having multiple redundant systems

what does it say? Cliffs? Does it say multiple actuators and sensors because those all still have single points of failure…

Are you talking about my cybertruck steering example? The cybertruck steering has effectively no redundancy and there’s no way it will be allowed in the EU https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39600539
