To put this in context $2 million worth of lidar sounds like a lot, but it's not that many vehicles: only a couple hundred. Per a quick Google search each sensor is about $1000 and Tesla's fleet validation vehicles look like they're running 8 lidars on the roof rack (based on pictures like...

It probably depends on what exactly one has in mind for an HD map. Which brings me to ask: What did you all have in mind for what information should be mapped on this HD map? That seems like a pretty big question that I don't seen any discussion of yet. There's a pretty broad range of...

No, this is the official Tesla app. If your charge limit is 100% you’d get notified at 49% or lower. If the limit is 90% you’d get notified at 44% or lower.

It’s a little more complex than that. Some, maybe all, V3 SCs still require a hardware upgrade to support non Teslas. It’s not as simple as V3 works with any car, V2 is Tesla only. That’s why I said it’s not clear if V2s are actually hard to retrofit or if Tesla is just choosing not.

Airplanes do yes, but I kind of think you all are wildly overthinking this. Or at least designing complex solutions when there’s 5 - 10 years of more straightforward optimization to do first.

Just chiming in here I haven’t found a way to turn this off. At a guess they shipped this feature without thinking about or remembering to add it to the notifications settings (downside of moving fast). As far as why I’d like to turn it off, I use shared chargers at an apartment. Don’t want to...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't actually seen what degree of improvement a full retraining cycle can actually lead to. Most public testers at this point started on a 12.3.* release (and the various point releases that have come pretty quickly are not full retraining of the system, as far as...

USS cars without Ryzen didn’t get the new parking visualizations either :(

There are certainly changes I’d like to see for AV (rolling stops, for instance, with strict limitations). It’s not clear this MUST happen for AV adoption though. It’s more for comfort and fitting in with other traffic.

Here are some more pics (no progress since the previous update). In summary: - 2x 4-stall prefab SC slabs installed - Conduit and concrete slabs for 4 more traditional stalls, and the associated cabinet are installed - conduit and concrete for 4 L2s done - no transformer yet - the gap between...

There’s just a short delay when pulling up the cameras, either when the turn signal is on or when switching to reverse. It’s subtle and not the end of the world.

I guess? Maybe I spent too much time testing V11 that managed to abruptly and jerkily do the wrong thing many times without any AI involvement, so it doesn't really seem concerning to me. At least not any more than systems that have already driven many millions of miles on public roads

Is that problem unique to an ML based approach to self driving cars though? You can't "validate" a explicitly hand-coded self driving system either, in the sense of writing out a set of acceptance criteria, testing the the system, and then if it passes the tests it's "validated". I mean, you...

It's not that slow - it's the difference of maybe 100-200ms to get the camera feed up to 50ms on newer cars. It makes a difference for the usability of the repeater camera for blind spot monitoring while changing lanes.

The site plans show an accessible stall in the middle, separate from the prebuilt Supercharger units. The gap is likely for the extra lateral spacing needed. Strangely the plans show the second prefab unit as a three stall prebuilt unit with a standalone stall. Never seen that before. I...

Slowwww (for some things like the web browser or pulling up the backup camera) and it seems Tesla is slowly not supporting it for new features

Oh interesting. I don't think FSD has ever done that for me, on V11 or V12. Will be interesting to see if I can reproduce this... I've found decreasing speed sequences entering small rural towns are particularly poorly handled at the moment, but will be some time before I can test those again.

Financially, of course it doesn't make sense (but then again buying a performance vehicle is never going to make sense). How much is this upgrade worth to you? Offhand, given the trade in value of the current car, cost of the new M3P, and interest rates it seems this will cost you about...

No, only V3+ Superchargers are opening up in North America (and not even all of those are open at this point). See Tesla's official Supercharger map and filter down to "Superchargers Open to NACS". Note: it's not clear to what extent it's technically impossible to open up V2 stations vs Tesla...

It's much appreciated. The I70 corridor is pretty busy and with mountains and cold snowy conditions the more charging the better! The closer together charging options are the more you can safely roll in at very low state of charge and get top charging speeds (i.e. better utilization of the...

FSD aside, MCU 2 is a pretty nice upgrade. Enjoy the car!

The switchboard (?) is installed (note: that’s not a Supercharger cabinet). A lot of conduit is finished. Looks like they’re about ready to plop down those pre assembled Supercharger slabs, they’ll go on the gravel areas. Interestingly they’ve installed conduit for all 12 Supercharger stalls...

Just chiming in that speed limit detection is noticeably worse for me too. 65 mph signs in particular, strangely enough. Annoying on rural CO roads. (Sometimes I wonder what is Tesla doing. Speed limit detection should be a dramatically simpler AI problem than many other things they’re doing...

FSD has long been able to cross double yellow lines to go around stationary obstacles (like delivery trucks). I saw something today I haven't seen documented anywhere yet: it tried to make a pass around a moving vehicle across yellow lines into oncoming traffic. On a 65 mph highway with double...

But isn't that simply L2 operation in advance of launching driverless testing in an area? There is no "supervised" L3 operation (and paying an employee to sit in the car without being responsible for the car or even requiring them to pay attention isn't very useful). To be clear, I do expect...

Which do you all think will happen first? L3 operation for Tesla owners (with a very restrictive ODD, like Mercedes) or L4 operation by Tesla owned vehicles (within a small geofenced area, similar in scope to Waymo), while FSD for owners remains L2 I assume eventually one of these has to...

It's not bad, but going to Mills or Idaho Springs is probably less wasted time. Either way, the more chargers the merrier!

Oh finally! I used to live here. Great spot for charging, although not that close to any major roads

Similarly with lane blockages ahead (for construction, for instance, or a bus stopped). It doesn't plan ahead as far as I would and position itself relative to other cars for a merge, or actually move over sooner (I know, zipper merge blah blah merge as late as possible for lane closed)...

Agreed it's a mess (it's a bit of a ridiculous case of "you can break this law this much but not more", and it's highly contextual. There's a 55 zone on I70 in Denver that's that is 100% ignored, lol). That said I've been surprisingly happy with how 12.3.3 has been doing with auto-speed. If...

The economics of operating, and technical hurdles, for each geographic location can probably explain this.

Something I haven't seen mentioned yet is that with end-to-end AI Tesla has a pretty big incentive to produce a human drivable variant of this vehicle to generate training data. Even if the camera positions and sensor suite are identical, it's still a small vehicle. Length, width, and turning...

I'm expecting a 2 seater, overall similar to the first concept art. I do expect a 4 wheeler vs a 3 wheeler with a single back wheel. Potentially RWD only. I'm expecting it's designed as a shared platform for a small compact personal vehicle (with normal drive controls, same as Model 3) and a...

Or other data like lane topology, positions of signs, stop lights, etc. I don't have the source handy but I believe people have figured out the cars do in fact download supplemental updated map data in real time. Anecdotally I've certainly seen the car improve it's handling of specific...

The sound isn't for when you knowingly and intentionally disengage AP! It's for the (rare) case somebody accidentally hits the wrong button on their yoke and (less likely) knocks the stalk unintentionally. There's not much feedback, other than the sound in those cases, and you don't want to...

The sound is unrelated to the prompt to record feedback. Autopilot has always had a disengagement sound (and every ADAS system should have audible disengagement mode change alerts IMO). I find this thread a little rediculous.

Hopefully Glenwood springs is a V3 or V4 station near downtown so it’s a bit more walkable.

No, Tesla simply advertises EPA range in used vehicles. If they were testing the battery there would be a more different range numbers on used listings.

My car still has low regen…?

I was in particular wondering what the wording here in app will: - Autosteer (Beta) - Full Self-Driving (Beta) Are both upgraded to Supervised in 2024.3.10? Or will basic "Autosteer" remain in beta forever?

Colorado has a ton of slip lanes for right turns at intersections all over that you don't need to stop for (or even yield to other vehicles in case of a dedicated added lane on the road you're turning on to. FSD has always struggled with these, both in hesitation and pathing (drifting wide)...

Tesla didn't remove creep from vehicles they had already sold. (I have no idea hypothetically if that is legal or not, but the point is that didn't actually happen)

12.3 aka 2023.44.30.25

Tesla didn't remove creep from vehicles that already had creep. My 2019 Model 3 can creep and has the reduced regen setting too! 100% legal. Companies can legally change the products they, even removing features.

There was a car a ways behind me, within distance that they could easy have seen my turn signal. I would have signalled here.

12.3 did something weird: - on a two lane highway - in right lane - need to make left at upcoming light - car waits a bit late to switch lanes - car moves from right lane, across left lane, into left turn only lane with no blinker at all Strange, blinkers have been 95% spot on w/ V12. And then...

FSD has gotten uncannily good at understanding human intent. For instance, today we were on the way to the gym. But instead it took me into the Steak n Shake drive through! Maybe that was because it tried to make a uturn at a narrow spot, bailed into left turn, wandered around a parking lot...

Looks like construction is underway, starting with placing conduit. The fenced off area matches the site plans.

An end-to-end architecture doesn't mean it's only trained on examples from real drivers. Near accidents and the final moments before actual crashes are great examples of things that are nearly impossible to collect real training data for: - Humans don't respond very quickly so they probably...

Teslascope on X was saying it had improvements to in-lane positioning (which has been a minor problem area for me). We'll see when I get one of the point releases...
