I've had this problem also and previously posted about it: My car randomly turned itself on. WTF? I always make sure to manually lock the car these days because I no longer trust the auto lock.

Are you sure about the MCU2 requirement? Doesn't AP2.5 cars have full access to sentry mode with recording?

In this case, I guess sentry mode is not really suitable for overnight parking outside then. Which is sad because this would be a useful scenario. Also not sure if constantly running the AP computer and using that much power will shorten its lifespan.

I've tried sentry mode on my AP2.0 car (no recording capability) and it seems to have increased significantly the daily battery drain if I enable it overnight. The overnight drain is around 3-5x what it was previously. I assume this is why Tesla does not have this on by default? Would like to...

You have videos of a fire starting? I have seen videos of cars burning, but never a car battery fire start. I have, however, seen videos of Galaxy Note 7 fires starting, which is similarly sudden. I don't understand how people in this forum can blindly dismiss this fire simply because it does...

Guys, you're in denial. There's video from adjacent security cameras as well that's all over social media in China. Plus, the fire did happen, the fire department showed up, and lots of videos of the aftermath. It's all over the news in China. There's no gas lobby and no real anti-Tesla...

This is an old thread. But I just accidentally found this article that throws some shade at Tesla and NHTSA stats: NHTSA's analysis of Tesla Autopilot safety was bad, but its coverup was worse. I didn’t go into the arguments in detail so take it with a grain of salt. But as I’ve said before...

I thought AP2 and AP2.5 have the same camera suite?

My theory on this, (could be completely wrong): Previously, every two stalls shared a single power supply. Now, all stalls share power source (some combination of transformers and batteries), which has enough to supply most stalls without throttling. However, I would still think that the...

Yes that seems to be the case. Automatic deferment.

Can't attend on Thursday. Is anyone else trying to do the same? Elon said on Twitter that we can, but it didn't come with instructions. 5 days really isn't enough notice, especially for a weekday event. (And sorry, no, I do not want to pass on the invite to someone else. I do want to attend a...

Well I'm not sure what he means by the 25%. But... there is an official statement from Tesla that existing superchargers will be improved to 145kW rate: Introducing V3 Supercharging "Additionally, we are also unlocking 145kW charge rates for our 12,000+ V2 Superchargers over the coming weeks."...

Elon Musk on Twitter Now that Elon has said that *all* existing S/X cars will get improved charging speeds up to 25% via firmware update, I think it's useful to ask: How do these changes affect the cars that have been throttled and the throttling policy? Will those cars still be throttled...

And also: 8) how will supercharging costs be handled for the week?

Constant improvement in level 2-3 tech, not level 5. The difficulty will get much harder. Even if the tech is ready, the regulations might take *years*. More importantly, there just isn't anything to show for FSD at the moment, regardless of the progress, so why pay for it? It's already clear...

Given all that has happened (or not happened...) in the last 2.5 years, I'm surprised there are still people wanting to pay for FSD... People who thought they were going to deliver this in 2017 (or 2018) got burned. People who thought it is better to buy upfront since it'll cost more to buy as...

I didn't want to use them. And I didn't want to go through the hassle of selling them.

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I haven't found a better one... I'd like to hear some other people's experiences with this referral award. Specifically answers to some of the following: 1) how long did it take for them to contact you after you selected the award? 2) how...

This is not true. When the updated cars were released, the RWD 75 models also had significant speed improvements.

" Just saw this thread. Want to jump in here and say, for the record (since a non-technical person might get confused as to who to believe in this 1:1 argument): yes you're absolutely right. Sumit is totally wrong. And this is my professional opinion. Sumit's mistake with option 2 is this...

2) You get new AP3 hardware I think, eventually, because is not even out. MCU2 was never in the picture for FSD. I assume you can buy FSD for the same price next year and get AP3 hw as well. 3) I would probably agree with your assessment here, especially if you lose perks like cheap FSD, free...

I don't understand your options. 1) I believe the extended warranty is only available to cars less than 2 years old? Please correct me if wrong. 2) Why buy FSD now? What does it give you that you didn't have before? (As far as I can tell, nothing, if you already have EAP.) 3) Is there anything...

They really should discount the upgrade from 60 to 75kWh battery pack as well. With the 100D being so cheap, the resale vale of the 60s will suffer greatly.

Yeah good luck with that. There are some people that have been waiting for FSD since 2016, when a full coast-to-coast drive was supposed to have happened by the end of that year.

This EAP -> FSD change really sounds like a tacit acknowledgment that true FSD is a long ways off (i.e. fully level 5). So instead they moved some features from EAP into FSD just so that FSD buyers would actually have something to show for what they paid. (Yes, I know there's the traffic light...

I'm willing to bet that almost all cars with FSD purchased so far, will never see level 5 driving in the time in which the original purchaser is owning the car, even with hardware upgrade.

Got this running last night. Something happened during the day and the service wasn't publishing new data to the DB (but never crashed and was still running) so I lost about a day of records. I didn't have time to debug this but killing the process and restarting it got the data back. Will...

looks amazing! Will try to set this up. I have not tried Teslog either. How does this compare?

Given the distance you drive each day, a long range model 3 is probably better. The S75 you're considering can also make the trip, but the long range M3 would leave you with much more breathing room (detours, range losses due to climate, etc.). It's important to note that you will often not get...

The blind person example has no relevance here. It's not a matter of a person suddenly losing or gaining sight. It's simply two different people with completely different starting and ending points. The ending points are different, because no blind person can out navigate a person with sight --...

Did we watch the same video? There's no confirmed disengagements in that video. The reporters were outside the car and they couldn't have known about any disengagements.

You're missing the forest for the trees. If lidar can help (which you admit in your statement), then why not have it? More information is always better. So what if cameras are better than humans? If you can make an even better car with lidar, then why not build one? A bicycle can run faster than...

You're confusing level 5 with human-like. The video showed several instances where the car did not react like humans (except for the left turn scenario, but it is not clear that the driver is actually turning the wheel vs holding the wheel). I don't see a problem with not behaving like humans if...

I'm guessing it's mainly reliant on the AP computer, not the MCU, hence the AP2.5 requirement. I have an AP2.0 car so I don't qualify.

By unifying the UI of the S/X with that of the 3, Tesla essentially forced (lowered) the S/X to the level of the 3. This is unfortunate because previously one of the biggest advantages the S/X had over the 3 was the two screens and the larger main display. It makes sense on the 3 to not have...

Just saw this post regarding CCS in Australia: CCS Charging options for Model 3 This further supports my speculation on the political side of this switch to CCS. Tesla wants to be seen as supporting public standards.

I'm guessing for the same reason why Tesla moved to the GB connector for Superchargers in China: politics. Since CCS is becoming the national/European standard, Tesla is converting to the standard to show support. (In China, this decision may not have been voluntary.) It might also be more...

videos please!

I've noticed the same problem in tunnels. The reflections off of the side walls seem to be recognized as a truck.

Lol sure.

Then back it up with facts. Of all the posts on this article, Mike is the only one with substantive arguments (albeit flawed). Stop wasting everyone’s time and post soemthing useful.

So your reasoning is that because the article contains things you probably don’t like, then the article is crap. And because the article is crap, then nothing contained in it is worth talking about. I assume you would never read such a crap article either. And then you post repeatedly trying to...

I also said I don’t see your point. You don’t seem to have one. Or any evidence to refute anything in the article. There’s nothing wrong with any of the things you mentioned.

I hate to break it to you, but Wall Street is all about money. Tesla shouldn't be surprised by the rules of the game. And the rules are pretty clear. Regarding the admission of wrongdoing: there will not be any admission of wrongdoing, because that's one of the conditions of the settlement. Had...

Uh did you actually read the article? Quote from only the *second* paragraph: "After the S.E.C. responded by accusing Mr. Musk, but not the company that he had co-founded, of securities fraud..." Which is in line with what you said. I don't see any inaccuracies with respect to any details that...

Interesting article from the NY Times on the story behind the settlement: Elon Musk’s Ultimatum to Tesla: Fight the S.E.C., or I Quit Basically, Tesla's board passed on SEC's generous offer because of Elon's ultimatum. The next day, after the stock tanked, Tesla came back begging for an offer...

So your definition of a long investor is someone who buys and then not looks at the price for years and does not take action even if he’s about to lose a significant chunk of his money and the company is running into serious problems? That’s not an investor; That’s just an idiot. And by the...

First of all, there’s very good reasons why short sellers exist and the practice is legal. In many situations they provide balance and liquidity to the market and make the market healthier. I don’t want to get into a discussion over this practice right now. But even using your narrow...

Way to cherry pick your data and not see the forest for the trees. Do you truly believe that the huge decrease in stock price over the last month is not due mainly to Elon’s going private mess? If you look at the trajectory of the stock over the past year, it has been slowly ticking up, until...

Do you have any evidence to back up this accusation of the government? Both short and long sellers were hurt by Elon’s tweets. Which group are you referring to? In fact, more long investors probably. They didn’t move forward because they realized that it was practically impossible. Elon...
