One trick I discovered a couple days ago... Long press the left scroll wheel, and various options will popup where the cards usually show. Wiper blades speeds is one of them. Go to it, and you can have that as the default action for a long press. Once active, scroll up and down to cycle from...

-Adjustable head rests on front seat -up/down and tilt -Cooling front seats -Integrated/retractable sunshades on roof -Powered frunk -120v outlets -Manual lane change without disengaging AP, auto re-engage center lane keep. This would be 1,000x better than the auto lane change gimmick.

I got my car back today, here's the diagnosis: Concern: Customer states: Door Handles & Latches - Frunk wont open and no sound at all when the open button is pushed from the app. Verified customer concern. Inspected wiring to the frunk latch actuator and found to be an open in the circuit...

Sounds like they need to redesign how they handle the hood release mechanism on all models, is how I interpret that response. Sorry, not trying to be stubborn. The failure is not acceptable no matter how many "things fail" threads there are. Systemic failure = recall territory. It just takes...

I guess my imagination is just more creative in 1,000 ways it could go wrong since I've had the failure happen to me. 1 fix... mechanical release mechanism reachable from inside the cabin like 99% of every other car/truck produced. It's an oversight, with the only real justification being...

More worried about kids putting themselves or pets into the frunk. And the system cant even recognize the condition. Shouldn't need the jaws of life in a non-collision corner case, no matter how rare it may be.

A couple weeks ago I went to open my frunk (Model Y LR 2021, ~30k miles) and it wouldnt open at all... no noise, no movement, no nothing. The last successful time I'd tried to open it was in February just before a trip. Worked fine. The next time I'd tried was in late March Tried from the...

No one has mispelled it in the last 2 pages... but I guess its a great way to derail a productive conversation to call out non-existent spelling errors? Phantom Spelling Errors?

Model?

Did your car initially have radar that was subsequently turned off? Just want to see if your experience changed with radar getting turned off, or you've driven your current car with Vision only the whole ownership experience. For me: 2021 March MY LR w/radar subsequently turned off via a SW...

2 scenarios: -phantom braking: abrupt application of brakes and rapid slow down -random slowdown: cruising down the road with AP active, 5~10 car lengths ahead of you, no one really in the adjacent lanes. Car begins losing speed more and more before you realize you've lost 10~15 mph of speed...

With radar, you dont get: -auto dry wipers -auto blind the road ragers -increased random slowdowns With Radar you used to get: >85 mph AP -aggressive AP acceleration - "1" following distance -near perfect distance keeping -reliable AP in inclement weather Having lived through the transition...

What do the gaps look like on the passenger door? Why did it need adjusting? Perhaps they adjusted gaps on the door after adjusting it, which pulled the rear panel away from the hatch? (I wouldnt think the year panel could actually move at all...)

This is what bugs me... what if the port is capable of receiving other types of data from other types sensors? Cameras in bumpers are going to be an annoyance if driver is nagged whenever they get wet or dirty... radar right behind the bumper facia doesnt suffer that issue. Other thing that...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0895717712003020 Has all the right buzzwords... 😉

And yet... still no announcement for how it will be used... or any TIER-1/2 supplier of chipsets or signal processing algorithms... or even proclaiming they did it all in house. I think it will be key to all weather object classification for the neural net above and beyond just a more reliable...

So... the "SVC" On HW4 is bugging me. Everyone initially thinks its bumper cameras... but... what if they are actually "Support Vector Classifiers" for the neural net?

So... now that the thread has been thoroughly derailed... Invester day passed... no mention of Radar Arbe 4Q 2022 passed... no mention of Tesla partnership. One person did ask a direct question during Arbe Q&A to the effect of "So, whats all this buzz about Tesla" to which they answered...

What indication was provided that led you to believe a repeater camera went out? Mine just panicked so I disengaged AP. No alerts otherwise.

Another red alert on a 11 AM bright sun and minimal moisture on the car, just as we were passing an off ramp in the right lane. Only 1 other car in front of us, and distance was set to 6. No camera blinded alerts or slow downs... just panic and scare everyone in the car... My wife's response...

More potential Arbe Rumors... Japan just certified the production ready Arbe chipsets for use/testing/sale in the Japanese market, and confirmed Arbe is working with a major Japanese auto maker of a sensor fusion system... My money is on the next gen Honda Sensing 360. 1 front camera, 1...

Day 1: Radar was active. The car kept set distance perfectly, and closed the gap if the lead car accelerated or changed lanes. It was actually aggressive in closing gaps. I drove through snow conditions with Autopilot set for over a hundred miles from Portland to Seattle area. It only...

Standard I-5 corridor between Seattle and Portland. Maybe its that yours doesnt have passenger lower lumbar? All the sensors are the same minus the added weight of a dead radar (plus the year and a half of driving it with it actually working, without all of the radarless quirks)

Ive had it freak out on several occasions in moderate rain, and outright full panic "take control now" in heavy rains that never affected the car when radar was still active (2021 April MYLR 7 Seater). It also randomly slows 5~10 miles in dry weather around large white box trucks, activates...

Arbe stock (+50% today) has been on a rocket since the FCC prematurely released and subsequently redacted the Tesla Radar images, and GreenTheOnly shared that "Phoenix" is still being referenced in the code. 90 day avg of ~40k shares, and almost 40 million shares changed hands today... 65...

Additional research... The Continental and Xilinx AR540 4D radar utilizes the Zynq Ultrascale processor which is not the 7000 series chip shown in Tesla's internal FCC image. Keep in mind, Arbe isnt actually making their own radar. They have patented designs and algorithms that will be...

I did some digging on the "Zynq" Processor. Xillinx was bought out by AMD in Feb 2022. In 2020, Arbe Robotics (maker of the "Phoenix" Radar) filed a patent for their Radar, utilizing the Zynq 7000 processor: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20200003884A1/en Signal Processing [0050] The...

I think you meant "just over 50% of the cost of a PS5"...

If any links were present, did the actual link data go back to Tesla? If not, coincidental phishing

If you can wait, then wait. Current model is the worst car Tesla has produced. It is several years of reduced feautures and hardware as Tesla was cutting production costs wherever they could. You'd essentially be buying the dumbest down version of any car Tesla has ever produced.

Tesla will need to race the rest of the market with competing ADAS 2/2+/3 solutions coming to pretty much every OEM in 2024. It's gonna be a great year for a giant ADAS leap forward. They "could" delay to 2024, but having made themselves the trend setting head of the spear for EV and Auto...

Ha... I did the same thing. Since its a poor design and likely to continue to happen, I've decided to leave it as is. Following in case a 3rd party aftermarket solution comes around.

Wait for end of second quarter at least. Just because they announce HW4 "mid-January" doesnt mean you'll see it before 2nd or 3rd quarter. If deliveries tank in 1st quarter, and 2nd quarter isnt any better, expect more price drops. Model Y in China are selling for ~$30k, because they have...

Look on the bright side... Auto Insurance for these models "should" go down, as the value of used cars (spare parts) just vaporized.

I also got the model 7 for the flexibility to seat small kids if needed, and resale value vs a 5 seater

Not to detract from the topic of the thread, but one major reason to stagger qualifications is to ensure options at several price levels. If it was a flat $80k MSRP qualification, every EV model would be priced at $79,999 regardless of features and capabilities. The 5 seater not qualifying for...

I have the 7, it lays perfectly flat with trunk lid and 2nd row seats flat. If you removed the 3rd row, you'd be losing the perfectly engineered flat surface that everything folds down to, and would need to try to make something that matches the carpeting and strong enough to be weight bearing...

For someone without depth perception at all (myself included), your garage would cause a panic attack if we were forced to use it 🤣 But, USS would 100% assist on getting lined up properly prior to entering. I would not be buying this car without USS or a "better" solution, which I dont believe...

Dont forget, whenever someone sells a car back to Tesla for trade-in, the FSD is turned off, reducing the total number of FSD vehicles in the fleet regardless of how many times FSD has been purchased.

A good chance the cars driving around with covers on have front/rear camera(s) to compensate for the USS being removed. Or protrusions for the newer radar that cant work in the same location as the old one

Agreed... Apple might give you a new OS on an old phone, but they arent clambering to retrofit new cameras, screens and biometric sensors because someone bought the old model the day before the new model was announced. I see the recent free 10K super charger miles and $7500 price deduction not...

They started pre-production assemby of the Fisker Ocean EV SUV in October 22

More breaking news today: Magna International is set to acquire Veoneer Active Safety: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/magna-to-acquire-veoneers-active-safety-business-301707077.html Implications: Veoneer partnered with Arbe (Pheonix Radar chipset). Magna is introducing its "first...

I developed a twitch to the complacency of being OK with being sold on featurea that "don't work anyway" Its a $30K car to produce. The markups account for an extra $20k~$40k. How much of that has been nerfed false promises or completely turned off in the last year?

The sensors themselves are only a few bucks each, so if it did effect insurance it would be the increased risk without them present.

Right up there with "1" follow distance, >85MPH cruise control and the ability to turn off autowipers with a bone dry windshield.

I'm not sure there would ever be an approved fix. It's most likely a sound we will get used to in all future EV cars that have a large encased series of batteries. What you have is a rectangular sheet of metal along the top which heats up and tries to find room to expand. Its like a large...

No, the metaphor was a single sensor taking on the job of many separate sensors ;) "Tesla Vision" = the Tesla Utensil. Advertised to be as good or better than a full suite of ADAS sensors, cheaper to produce and perpetually in BETA as consumers figure out how not to use it inappropriately...

Someone made a spork with a steak knife on the handle. Utilitarian, lightweight but most importantly, reduced costs for the manufacturer at the risk of everyone cutting their hands everytime they used it. While I don't need a thousand spoons to eat a bowl of soup safely, minimalism isnt always...

OP bought a USSless car, when they assumed it would be as USSful as the car they test drove. /sarcasm (just wanted a punny giggle)
