It is absolutely *not* OK and under no circumstances acceptable to video the people working on your car. Unless they have agreed to be filmed. Besides, you will see their nose hair, not the work they're doing. The cameras are facing the wrong way.

What's that PWS so many of you keep talking about? Postprandial Whinging and Somnolence? Perennial Winning Streak? Pulse Width Sodomism?

My average is 12 days between updates. The longest stretch being 35 days. So whatever new bugs appear, you don't have to live with them for very long. If you wait with the updates until they're forced on you, your own adjustment is going to be more profound. The upshot is: You can either have a...

Hm. If there's no perceived dimming to oncoming traffic (i.e. they flash at you), then the dimming hasn't worked, even though you *think* it may have worked. Perhaps your lights are not leveled right? It's like arguing with your wife. You can be right all day long, it's their perception that...

I have EAP on my Model S. Smart summon works well, but I mostly use it with the key though just to back into/out of the parking at home. But even with the app in a parking lot it makes for a good show pony experience, and occasionally it's actually useful when it's bucketing down rain and the...

I probably would, I still think at this point in time Tesla makes the best EVs by far. But I'm not in a hurry... which is good considering their plans. For Australia, my preferred transport would be a Range Rover form factor and suspension but with Tesla drive train and tech in it. The roads...

After replacing 4 21" rims I swapped to 19" 2 years ago. Haven't cracked one since. So for me at least it has worked. But now I can't get the full power on the ground and the cornering is not what it used to be.

the reverse facing fender camera views shown in my S are way too small to be useful, and the mirrors only show a tiny fraction of the scene. I rest my case that this could be vastly improved with a birds eye perspective assembled from the surround camera feeds (and yes, distorted obviously).

2024.14.7 just installed, and I can confirm that on the Model S, there is no additional parking visualisation available. No flaming turds for this flaming duck. :)

Maiming or killing a small animal or child - for those who like them - hiding behind your car while you're reversing has nothing to do with basic driving skills. It's the result of not using technology that is already built into our cars and is not being made available to optimise our...

I'll take the birdseye camera view offered by most other manufacturers over this flaming turd of colourful blobs any day. Sad thing is this would be very easy for Tesla to implement with the cameras surrounding the cars. Lack of awareness that other people have implemented superior features...

Couldn't get NRMA Jindabyne #2 working today. Plug in, swipe start in App, press the start button on the ancient charger model, some relays are clicking inside the flaming turd, and the "return plug to charger" light goes off, followed by a text message that my charging session has ended. No...

Just back from a 1200km drive. A few more observations: - Model S didn't only not get the speed camera warnings, it also didn't get the average speed camera function. That's not a sensor or HW platform dependent feature. WTF? - It still thinks trucks with two red lights up high on the trailer...

Here's a really good example of an Alfa Romeo in the adjoining lane to the left (front camera) whose brake lights are flashing like mad to the camera and could easily be misinterpreted as indicators. There's another example (probably a Toyota Landcruiser?) towards the very end of the video...

No, this is likely to do with LED based brake lights (and indicators). The camera shutter speed and the LED cycle time have a bad habit of interacting. Check out the following video: The LED based lane open indicators and speed limit signs in the forward camera appear to be flashing. They are...
