    17.9.3 new firmware AP2

    That's good that they are prioritizing AP2 over 8.1 then.

    17.9.3 new firmware AP2

    I know. Unless they ended up putting the code for both in the same branch/release. Not sure why they would do that, but it looks like now both are going to get released together, whenever that is.

    17.9.3 new firmware AP2

    Based on this tweet, looks like the two may be related. Elon said 10 days on Mar 12. Double it, so we are looking at end of month, early April.

    For those that paid for 60kWh to 75 kWh upgrade, was it worth it?

    I upgraded from 60D to 75D - kind of. I had 60D on order with estimated delivery in late December. My OA found a new inventory 75D that I liked that had a 3K discount on it, that I could get it early December. I had the option to take it as 75D and get the discount or downgrade to 60D, lose the...

    Tacc annoyance

    There was a typo in original post. You disengage TACC, let the car regen and a second later activate TACC again. The car recognizes the stopped car in front every time and comes to a slow steady stop. Works every time for me.

    Tacc annoyance

    Yes, but see the point above of disengaging TACC and then activating it again (I assume the OP meant activate tacc) and then it is able to recognize the stationary car and stop. I use this all the time and it works without fail. So looks like it does recognize stationary objects when you start...

    FIRMWARE UPDATE! AP2 Local road driving...and holy crap

    Couldn't agree with you more. That's pretty much looks like he and Tesla operates. They mostly, if not always, miss deadlines, but in the end they are still beating their competitors (so far)...

    FIRMWARE UPDATE! AP2 Local road driving...and holy crap

    At least that's what Elon intends to do: Elon Musk on Twitter. We will see if it does happen.

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    I don't think I can buy Bolt in WA yet. Maybe now you can but like Electroman said, Tesla with its range and the super charging network makes it unique. My 75d is the only car I own and I have taken it everywhere. It's really easy to plan a road trip. Not sure how easy it would with Bolt.

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    Anyone who bought this car for auto-pilot as the main reason is going to be frustrated. Or I read some comments comparing it to luxury of MB, which again is not what Tesla is. Tesla is first and foremost an electric car that can go over 200 miles on a single charge. Any other car that does that...

    17.5.28

    I seem to be getting this more often - like once a day. The car tries to brake hard for a second, makes the beeping sound and then picks up again like nothing happened.

    Is Autopilot hw1 AP 1.0 worth buying with hw2 out?

    In a way yes. But being in software/product development, I know how things go, so I had set my exceptions for something like this. So yeah, I am not surprised or angry about the delay. It is how things go when you are building something new and complex.

    Is Autopilot hw1 AP 1.0 worth buying with hw2 out?

    Ha ha. Based on what Tesla had released so far, it seems like it's gonna take a while. But on the other hand, I see big improvements between latest AP2 release and previous one. I think I truth is in the middle. I feel like we are going to see huge improvements in the next month or so, but I...

    New .25 tacc hw2

    Yeah, joking mostly except if someone decides to drive speed limit or less on the left lane. That drives me nuts. And even more so if you cut me off and then decide to go slower than I was. Then you lose the right to complain about tailgating!

    New .25 tacc hw2

    I set mine to 2, just because I feel I should not set it to 1. When I drive myself, I am usually at 1 or less (if you are not going fast enough).

    Is Autopilot hw1 AP 1.0 worth buying with hw2 out?

    Just saw this tweet from EM: Almost there is probably still 6 months in Tesla time :)

    Is Autopilot hw1 AP 1.0 worth buying with hw2 out?

    I had the same decision to make back in Nov. See this thread: AP1 vs. AP2. At that time more people were in favor of AP2, now it looks like AP1. How things change :) I went with AP2. If you ask me right now, I feel I should have gone with AP1. But I am pretty sure (hopefully) in 6 months I will...

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    I had a tough decision between an inventory AP1 car (brand new) with 10% discount vs. AP2. I ended up going up with AP2. Now I think I should have gone with AP1, but I am pretty sure 6 months from now I will be glad I got the AP2. Meanwhile I am having fun driving the car and trying out whatever...

    17.5.28

    Maybe then it was because it was snowing at that point and the visibility had something to do with it.
  20. J

    17.5.28

    Same here. Went for a drive last night here in Seattle when it was snowing and halfway thru TACC disabled due to front radar visibility error - don't remember exactly text. There was a beep when it disabled, but not very noticeable (would like a bigger alert). When came back home, front bumper...

    HW2: It's been a week. How many miles do you have on autosteer?

    I have done close to 20 miles, maybe more. Seattle 520 traffic and then Portland 405 traffic. In traffic, under 45 mph, auto steer works perfectly. I just ignore the dancing lines, flashing cars etc. on the display. If you just look at the way car drives, it is close to perfect. The steering...

    AP 2.0 - Lets log our experiences

    Did a 400 mile+ roundtrip Seattle -- Portland. TACC and Autosteer on AP2 worked flawlessly on the freeways (within known limitations like speed limits, etc.). Once I got on the freeway, I set TACC to 75 mph and follow distance of 2. The speed limit varies between 60 and 70. I don't remember...

    Any advice from seasoned travelers to Northwest?

    I recently (1st of Jan) did a trip from Seattle to Newport, OR. Went down on I-5 and came back along the coast on 101. Temperatures were between 20F - 35F. I have 75D and averaged around 350Wh/m for the whole trip and had to drive thru few snowstorms. I drove pretty normally (not trying to...

    Autopilot team changes

    There's more... Anderson collaborated with Urmson on their competing venture on Tesla time, using his Tesla company laptop, and on Tesla's premises. On 26 January 4, 2017, Anderson took his Tesla laptop to Urmson's home, accessed a document entitled "Recruiting targets" and continued to...

    A little frustrated

    I did just that few days ago and got the latest AP2 update within an hour of leaving my phone in the car.

    Bought a 100D with ventilated seats! I DID IT! WOOO WOOOOOOOO!

    Can someone explain how the this matters? At the end if the day it's the rated range that each car gives that is important. Whether it's 10kw or 17kw, the difference in rated miles is still the same between 90d and 100d. Just trying to understand :)

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    In my case I don't think it ever saw after fully merged. I didn't wait to find out as there was no time. I was anyway on follow distance 2. So just had to slam the breaks.

    You need to schedule an appt with your service center

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    I don't see this on my AP2. I used TACC and my car will come to complete stop when the car in front of me stops and then start without any interaction from my side when the front car moves. The only exception that I have seen is when coming up on a car from far that is already stopped. In that...

    Just go about driving as you normally would. The update will find you when it is your time :cool:

    So maybe we will see it in a year or two. The CA drivers in a year, the rest of us in two :)

    Software Update Available! HW2 car!

    I think I got lucky. I am usually always on LTE. Last night decided to leave my spare android phone in the car and turn on hotspot and connect to car. This was 8pm. At 9:03pm, I got software update notification. By 10pm I had it installed and was out driving. Spent about an hour and tried both...

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    I don't have access to wifi from my garage and I get my updates usually 3 - 4 after a new build comes out. Tonight I decided to keep my spare android phone in the car and setup a personal hotspot and connected the car to it. Just got the software update notification within an hour of that...

    Bought a 100D with ventilated seats! I DID IT! WOOO WOOOOOOOO!

    I really don't understand the dilemma. I recently got 75D and love it. I have done some long trips and supercharging has been so easy. Sometimes you take a break for 15 mins, sometimes longer and tie it with a meal. I really don't see a need for 100D for most people. Most people on their daily...

    Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

    I am a very impatient person, but I agree with the approach Tesla is taking with this. They are building the software for AP2 pretty much from scratch. By limiting the speed to 35, if things were to go wrong, the user has a better chance of correcting/avoiding an accident, which Tesla wants to...

    Software Update Available! HW2 car!

    I got the .120 update today. I am always on LTE as I can't connect to WiFi from where I park. Also past few nights I was in a different garage with no coverage at all, so I was surprised to see the car notify me today morning at 9am (an hour after I drove out) that an update was available to...

    Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

    I really doubt they will go over 35. Elon on twitter said something to that effect, I think that they are going to go slow on this.

    High-Five to the 2.52.22 Update

    You either believe that they are trying to do what's best for their customers in the long run or not. I have watched lot of Elon Musk interviews and I think they are going to do what's best for their customers. I am new to Tesla as well and just bought a 75D and I couldn't be happier. It is...

    S60 -> S75 upgrade price reduction

    Same here. I technically didn't upgrade, but I had custom ordered 60D and switched to 75D inventory. I had the option to rollback to 60D and save 8500, but the 75D had 3k discount which they said would be removed. So I went with 75D. Glad I did. I do a trip regularly and recently with the cold...

    Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

    Elon twits AP1 improvements coming...anyone still trust them?

    Looks like the hard limit on undivided roads in AP1 has been rolled back and you can go at any speed you want! New software update (2.52.22) rolls back hard speed limit with auto steer. • /r/teslamotors

    Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

    I am confused. It seems like the updated point release is out as per the tweet. But I have yet to see anyone with AP2 or AP1 acknowledge here that they have received it.

    Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

    Yup. My bad. I have no idea who Sterling is!

    Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

    Cause they hired Chris Lattner from Apple: Tesla Poaches Apple Director for Autopilot Software Unit Sterling was managing both space X and autopilot. Now he goes 100% to space X and there is dedicated guy fir autopilot. I thinks that's a good thing in long run. Short term there maybe some ramp...

    Which is the best App to use for remotely accessing the Tesla?

    I have both. I have stopped using official app. It's good when you are new. But one you know what you want and want do something quick, then remote S does the job. It's much faster to load and work with. I like everything is on one screen - intimidating at first but once you get used to, it's great.

    White Lies Matter?

    I am a strong defender of Tesla and how they do things. But this I can't stand behind this at all. I would be mad as hell if I paid 160K (or even 80K) for a car and later found out limitations that were not disclosed before. I hope Tesla fixes this either by removing the limits or refunding...

    Buying Inventory vs. Custom Build

    I had switched to inventory car when my custom order was delayed by a week and pushed out to end of Dec last year. I didn't want to take a chance. Luckily my OA found an inventory car (75D) still in the warehouse with 9 miles on it, and had all the options I wanted (including AP2) and had a 3K...

    Does anyone ever get rated range?

    There is no reason to have it both ways. I just bought a 75D and for my daily driving I started with charging to 90% and now am down to 60%. Even that is more than enough and I do around 450 wh/mi. I gun it as long as it's safe. On long trips, I plan and drive accordingly so I minimize the...

    Tesla CPO Process - Communication Frustration?

    Yup can't agree more. Shannon was my OA and she was and continues to be the best. Marshall was non existent, I only saw him for 5 mins at delivery before he handed me off to someone else.
