UPDATE/FIXED: Tesla resent me the firmware but that didn't solve the problem. I didn't want to wait a week for service, so I started testing things. It turns out the trick was using Bluetooth audio. I selected Bluetooth in the car and then played a song on Spotify from my phone. After that...

Turn signal clicks work. Horn works. And even the ultrasonic distance and lane departure warning chime work. If I had to guess, the "user volume" of the infotainment has a bug in this release, possibly induced by the Light Show before it was (for lack of a better word) "initialized" by one of...

Thanks. I did describe the problem and put in a ticket. I was curious if anyone here had ever seen the audio get "stuck off" and had a quicker workaround. We'll see what they say or if it's reproducible.

I rebooted several times (via steering wheel buttons) and powered the car off via the menu, but the audio is still missing.

Performance Model 3 in the FSD Beta. I installed the new firmware and immediately went to Light Show. The show began with lowering the windows. But then nothing. I tried a few times and the same thing happened. Then I tried Spotify. And Netflix. And Caraoke. And normal streaming. No audio...

FSD Beta on one car here and my Safety Score disappeared when I updated the iOS app today. The Safety Score is still there on a second car (family member).

This is incorrect.

I have 10.2 installed. Never had a 100 miles in a single day. My highest was 52.

Very early initial impression from a new FSD tester: Maybe the Safety Score had me trained to be too cautious, but the beta feels pretty aggressive. I don’t mean that negatively. It feels confident and fast. I didn’t expect that. Initial impressions are wow and reminiscent of the first time...

I improved from a 99 to 100 (since last Thursday) and got it. I also rebooted a single time, but not using it as a cheat.

Rounded up to 100 with a 99.58 and ~300 miles.

Email received: "We will be pushing FSD Beta Version 10.2 (2021.32.25) to your vehicle shortly!" EDIT: 2.95GB Downloaded. Installing.

They're probably more concerned about social media. The last thing they need is someone from the new group of "perfect drivers" uploading a video of themselves in the passenger seat, bypassing safety measures. Agreed that the official safety data would take more time.

To add to the speculation, I believe they were monitoring the number of vehicles with a 100 SafetyScore. About six hours ago, the Safety Score wouldn't load in the app ("Page failed to load. Try again.") for 45 minutes. It's very possible they hit, for example, 1500 beta testers and took a...

I agree. If someone was able to get to 100 today, it means they were close to 99.51 already. If someone drove a perfect 100+ miles to hit 100, they still deserve it. Fixing a very low score would be impossible in the time given and a "bad" driver wouldn't be able to do a perfect 100-mile trip...

Thank you for this. I was "flying blind" with only a rough idea of what I needed and just squeaked out a 100. Now that I entered all my data, I see how close it really was. It matches what I saw in the app exactly.

I've been using Echo Auto myself. As far as I know, it's all or nothing. Either you keep it on your phone/Bluetooth and use the Echo to manage streaming music, or you use Slacker and manually switch back and forth.

I believe you're mistaking "Early Access Program" with "Priority Software Access" which was a referral reward that was supposed to provide the earliest public release. (It was valued higher than a set of rims and tires.) I'm not in the Early Access Program. Originally, early FSD owners were told...

This still doesn't appear to be working for me. I've had advanced turned on since day one. I'm early FSD and earned the "Priority Software Access" but neither of my cars has received 20.4.2 yet. Ironically, the very friends who I referred (who live nearby with similar builds) have received it...

So, where does the “Priority Access to Software Updates” referral reward fit into all this? This email seems to be describing that benefit more than an “Invitation to Early Access Program.” There’s a subset of customers who should be getting an invite to the Early Access Program and Priority...

Yeah, 90% of the drag caused by full-sized mirrors which totals fewer than 4% of the car's overall drag.

It came back after a day or so. It was nearly a year ago and I forget if it was before or after a new firmware. But it wasn't a long term or serious issue that required service.

Do we know if this will be V3? Is every new one V3 or could some V2 still be rolling out, depending on when the project originated?

I was just reading that using rearview cameras can reduce drag by 90% versus conventional mirrors and that alone results in a 3.8% improvement for the vehicle. This was in reference to Honda's new electric "Honda E."

It was (is?) supposed to debut with the Y. The Y appears to be much closer to the Model 3 than anticipated, so I have doubts they're still going down that path. It would be a pleasant surprise at this point. If the Y does eliminate the 12v, I would expect the other cars (especially the 3) to...

Agreed. I think this could be a big deal for increasing margins as they consolidate parts. I expect to see a lot from the 3 as well, perhaps with more premium materials facing the cabin, but the underlying parts (e.g. the HVAC louver system) could be shared. I found it odd the S never got the...

I know we're in the S forum, but do you think we'll see comparable changes to the X at the same time? I can't imagine the interior of the S refreshing without the X. You'll think they'd want the design language to remain in lockstep. And, of course, the Raven upgrades happened at the same time...

All signs point to at least an interior refresh in the next four to six months. If they don't pull that off, the S/X and demand is in serious jeopardy. They have always launched changed "when ready" and never waited because they just retooled. In fact, they have a history of staggering major...

"End of year" seems to be further out than most expect. I suppose we're talking about fewer than six months, so it's not a huge difference though.

That's fair. It's only an issue if they use 1-foot rollout on Performance but not on the other models. They should stick to one standard or be very clear about it.

Yes, you can see something going on in the recent videos: https://i.imgur.com/n8Tfy18.png There's a similar strip/glow in front of both the driver and passenger. It appears to be embedded inside the seam of the vent.

I owned a Model S and Model 3 simultaneously for about six months. The second IC screen is completely unnecessary. In over a year with the Model 3 I haven't missed it a single time. In fact, I found myself frustrated by it getting blocked by the wheel and my hands, particularly when turning. You...

-Stream dog-friendly music to keep them entertained or relaxed. -Use the seat sensor to estimate body weight and send it to their vet electronically. -Allow the owner to record sound clips that play randomly (eg “You’re a good girl,” “Daddy will be back soon!”) -Send a notification after an hour...

Yeah and that hit will only be worse with customers now expecting a motor/drivetrain upgrade. I think the majority thought it would be interior and/or battery at most. I do agree the timing (immediately after a quarter) seems deliberate. And I’d expect the refresh to be availble by the end of...

If the Electrek article tonight is to believed, this aged well. The remaining question is if we'll see battery and/or interior refreshes at the same time. Now that it's public (and also seen in public firmware code apparently), my bet is on sooner than later. Sales will take a hit on the...

Actually, more details from Elon on Twitter: "Also, it can be used to supplement cameras on outside of vehicle, as it can see through 2nd side windows & rear window. Only external cameras are being used right now, so internal is not enabled. When it is enabled, we’ll add a setting to disable...

Yeah, they cut costs by removing a simple rain sensor, but added an interior camera for potential ride-sharing in 5-10 years? It's an odd choice. I suspect we'll see it on the refreshed S/X and it'll be used for at least Sentry. If it's cheap enough to put on a Model 3, it can go on the other...

I suspect you can do a "Model 3-like" interior with more premium materials for the S/X. Better seats/stitching, better materials for the dash (like higher-end woods and finishes), Alcantara headliner (oooh!), larger screen (17"), slicker lighting, and the like. In particular, replace as much of...

I was responding to someone who asked if OP purchased FSD with their order. I pointed out the OP already said: "I didn’t purchase FSD so it is just normal Autopilot at this point." While I have plenty of opinions on HW3, FSD, and timelines, that post didn't include any. :)

Relevant: Tesla Model S, X with "Hardware 3" for Full Self-Driving now in production, inventory codes indicate "Tesla Model S, X with “Hardware 3” for Full Self-Driving now in production, inventory codes indicate"

Last sentence: "I didn’t purchase FSD so it is just normal Autopilot at this point."

Re: the lower price being a good deal today Are we suggesting a refreshed S will suddenly jump in price for the same battery size? It's not like the fascia or MCU2 or new seats made the price go up. The only thing I can see raising the prices now is the battery size. I do feel like Tesla has...

But wouldn’t the new cash value put you into the exact same car? What’s the problem in this example?

I believe Tesla's thinking was "They bought FSD before it's out, so they are more likely to want cutting edge functionality." No doubt that's not everyone, as some people took a financial gamble, but I do see why they went that way. And I agree $2,000 seems very close to a "floor" in cost.

I know it's controversial, but unifying the design to more closely match the Model 3 would go a long way. It doesn't have to be crazy: Single long vent (with more premium wood) Horizontal screen (preferably 17" vs 15" on the 3) Small 4" IC or HUD to keep clean lines Phone dock in a similar...

I'm curious how that would play out if only a small percentage who were "gifted" into the program ever see updates. It makes me think they'll open it up to more than a couple hundred. Either way, it seems like being in both Early Access and Priority Access can have independent benefits.

That's the way I'm interpreting it. Sounds good to me. It also seems like PSA won't be under NDA, so it could be used for YouTube and the like.

So, I had 4 referrals and earned "Priority Software Access" but also had FSD which now adds "Early Access Program." How does this work? Is that "Priority Software Access" worthless now? I know Early Access Program is different so I guess I'd get the new test features under NDA and then the final...

I certainly understand where you're coming from, but ultimately rewards do work to motivate people. Even people already actively promoting Tesla. I'm sure it incentivised quite a few people to spend more time and money creating content and providing "tech support" for Tesla. That's why I...
