The Cruise accident where it dragged a person to me is proof that current hardware will never be FSD. Supervised FSD yes. Maybe can squeeze it out on freeways. But without being able to sense what is at the front bumper, it will be very very difficult to obtain FSD on current hardware. Need...

I see some news outlets / clickbaiters saying it will be released this year. I think that is highly unlikely. What do you think? Here is an example:

Elon said yesterday he expects the Bot be available for home purchase in 3+ years for about $20K. Think about how much is paid for house cleaning. Hopefully the bot will take over a significant amount of that duty. Although I'm sure Elon will promise it does long before it actually does...

I noticed on ev-cpo.com that there are about 60 used Model Y's for sale. Price doesn't seem too bad especially if you like FSD. Example: https://www.tesla.com/my/order/5YJYGDED7MF103991#overview 40K miles, 244 mile range for $62K

lol

Excerpt: ... Giga Texas opening that I haven't seen discussed much. At the intro on the Model Y section, they said up to 200 miles of range in 15 minutes

Perhaps AP should be trained to heed a dude with a warning light. AP disengaged 2-3 seconds before impact.

The bot is easier in my opinion, because it is unlikely to kill someone if it makes a mistake. Suspect the first versions for the home might be short, like 5 feet tall. Making it smaller will likely make it feel more safe to people and lower production costs. FSD = Full Self driving, not...

Elon said so, Oct 7, 2021 at yearly investor conference. My estimate is end of this year when Austin is producing 5K vehicles per week. 50 minutes into the video. Quote: We do hope to reduce the prices and make them more affordable over time.

Are smaller size steering wheels coming? Wrist size? Wonder if a center mounted joystick would be better so that driver can be on left or right side of the car.

Tesla has a lot of software work to do, even though they are years ahead of everybody else.

Seems to me that this safety score is going to do more to help Tesla with their safety statistics more than improvements in any other system. I'm estimated the full self driving is more than 5 years away so that doesn't count. What do you think? Example: I've been bothered by how closely my...

Did FSD Beta 9.0 blow your mind?

Watch out for a rock not on the road. Alternate title: AP doesn't understand crosshatch / chevrons in the road. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7247235,-119.6318664,3a,75y,231.39h,86.77t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3Ln87QJL5TUhdy4GWua2lw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 I'm optimistic Tesla will release an update...

Got the 2021.12.25.7 update. Updated from 2021.12.25.6 I think. Both updates made AP on city streets smoother. So much smoother that I disabled chill mode and was still chill. Slowing down to a red light was especially chill. Before it would accelerate to a nearby red light than abruptly...

Love the idea of using brightness/translucency to indicate confidence. Darker objects means FSD is unsure what what the object is and or where the object is going.
