    FSD with MCU1

    v10.69 was probably not good enough for a wide release so they’re not just going to release it to all MCU1 cars. It seems they have pretty much stopped development for FSD on MCU1 since there have been no more updates. Even the few MCU1 cars that were blessed with FSD v10.69.3.3 have not seen a...

    2023 Model 3 Brand new weird liquid run etching on glass

    Bare uncoated/unprotected glass does not bead water. The invisible glass stripper will remove any coatings or residue. Stoner sells an invisible glass coating kit that includes the stripper and a glass ceramic coating to use after the glass is stripped.

    New M3 LR and P, LFP or no??

    LFP generally has too little energy density to support long range and AWD so probably not going to change anytime soon. Tesla does not use LFP in any AWD or long range model anywhere in the world.

    Are you saying your car is not on 2024.3.25?

    Model Y 2024

    It’s fine. Just how Teslas build quality is. There’s no guarantee it will come out better. As long as it’s not leaking it anything I would just leave it.

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    Are they going to give a new 30 day trial with each new point release? 🙃

    Precondition battery for supercharging before leaving hotel

    Only thing you can do is just start navigation when you’re heading to the supercharger to start warming it. HVAC settings won’t really make a difference.

    Model Y Confusion, what battery will I get?

    I see you are in the US. Currently 100% of US market Model Y are using Panasonic NCA cells. There has never been an LFP Model Y for the US. 4680 Model Y was discontinued last year.

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    The answer is they don’t want to be held legally responsible for what the system does and be liable for damages. By saying it’s L2 only they absolve themselves of responsibility and put the blame purely on the driver for not paying attention. Or they don’t believe the system is good enough to...

    Magic Dock

    The difference is just in the software. The magic dock locations are programmed to allow anyone to charge. Non-magic dock locations are programmed to only allow specific cars to charge.

    120 versus 240 charging versus battery life

    The computer is just adjusting and measuring the actual voltage/charge level as the car is sleeping. It cannot measure charge level while the car is awake, so it’s just displaying an estimate of the charge level most of the time. Can also be adjusting due to changes in battery temperature.

    Free Music?

    Note that the Tesla music streaming service (aka Slacker) will not work without premium connectivity, even over wifi. Tune in will work over wifi (with ads) as do the other services, provided you have a paid account with them.

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    Even with the ODD limitations, the fact remains it’s a Level 3 autonomous driving system that does not require attention when conditions are met. Meaning people can LEGALLY scroll on their phones or watch a movie or reply to emails etc. They can gain back most of the time lost in a rush hour...

    The anti-Tesla EV lovers

    How are any of those options cheaper than a car you already have? Unless you live in a disaster prone area, most of the time power goes out for less than a day and maybe a couple times a year at most. A fully charged EV battery can fully power a home for several days continuously. Less than a...

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    That’s not a thing anymore with current day systems with active lane centering/lane tracing. Ping ponging was on older systems that just had lane departure assist.

    Heatmap for parking

    There’s a setting in the autopilot menu for park assist

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    Yes it had been discussed before but I don’t recall seeing a picture of the difference.
  21. E90alex

    Heatmap for parking

    It was enabled in the latest updates. It will still remain after FSD trial expires. I switched mine back to USS 🙃

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    Yes but it’s bareeeeely noticeable. It’s barely noticeable in the car too TBH.
  23. E90alex

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    Yes exactly, it also applies to FSD. FSD is still Level 2 and as such requires full attention with hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. It’s not meant for you to let go of the steering wheel and just jiggle it when it nags because Tesla does not (yet) advertise it as a hands free system...

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    Was able to successfully change the tail light config with service shell in Tesla toolbox today. Also activated rear fogs and added the spoiler to the in car graphic. Still need to swap the inners and modify the wiring to get the rear fogs though. I read somewhere about a trick to get a 1 hour...

    FSD - update required to end free trial?

    If you were on 2023.44.30.30 then you probably had an FSD subscription before the trial? Once the free month ends it would just resume your FSD subscription and therefore still have access to FSD. If you cancelled the subscription then the trial will end to the hour on the 30th day (~720 hours...

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    The car in question in the video is not equipped with L3 Drive Pilot. The car only has L2 ADAS and L2 is not geofenced.

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    It’s lane keep assist. It assists you in staying in the lane as needed with minor steering corrections when your hand is on the wheel and already turning the wheel. But it also doesn’t work on sharper turns. It’s not meant to do all the steering for you if you take your hands off like he’s...

    NHTSA make roads across the world less safe

    NHTSA has nothing to do with phantom braking. That’s just Teslas poor programming. Alerts are not present if you’re actually holding the wheel and paying attention as you’re supposed to. Used FAD for the free trial and never got excessive nags.
  29. E90alex

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    It’s a hands required system so it monitors steering wheel torque. Newer cars may have a capacitive steering wheel so you just need to touch the steering wheel. But Mercedes’ system (like most L2 systems) is not designed to follow sharper curves like Autopilot does which is why you see so many...

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    What exactly are you getting at again? L2 requires full attention whether it’s hands on the wheel or eyes on the road or both. FSD is still L2 and this also requires full attention. There’s no requirement for L2 to be geofenced. Ford and GM geofence BlueCruise and Super Cruise for hands free...

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    Where do you see that L3 DrivePilot is working outside of the geofence? The whole mars video is not using L3 Drive Pilot. Hes not even in a car equipped with Drive Pilot. It just has L2 drivers assistance.

    Abrupt Phantom Breaking at high speed - scary

    AEB is a different system than Autopilot. I haven’t really heard of phantom AEB happening.

    Color bleed on microfiber?

    It’s dirt. The paint is clear coated there’s no way the color coat can rub off.

    What car settings are needed for using SuperChargers?

    There is no setting. You plug it in and the car and charger communicate to charge at the fastest rate possible.

    Tesla FSD V12 vs Mercedes Driver Assist Video by Whole Mars Catalog on YouTube.com

    It’s L2 everywhere else. DrivePilot is L3 and geofenced.

    Is premium paint more durable?

    Pearl white which used to be the free color before 2023 is also a tri coat. So no, there’s no difference in durability vs price.

    Abrupt Phantom Breaking at high speed - scary

    If we knew why it happened then Tesla would have fixed it by now. Only way to prevent it is to not use Autopilot or FSD.

    This is MY idea, you can't have it!

    There is a tire service reset in the car to track the miles since last tire service. But no reminder pop up when it’s due.

    The anti-Tesla EV lovers

    That’s the whole premise of this thread though? The OP is basically saying why would anyone buy an inferior EV, you should just buy a Tesla because it’s the best EV. Then people say why they don’t like Tesla. And here you are saying well no one’s making you buy a Tesla.

    Updated to v12, 2024.14.6 with FSD and it's awesome!

    Tesla removed parking sensors in 2023. No summon for you.

    Model 3 Highland White interior (US) waiting room

    I think the white interior is holding it up not the RWD. There’s various paint colors of both RWD and LR in inventory near me but all are black interior only.

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    Remember that Tesla and BP already had a previous agreement (fostered under Tinucci) where BP was going to buy V4 Supercharger hardware from Tesla to deploy on their own charging network. So scooping up orphaned Tesla sites to deploy a BP branded site would be pretty trivial and easy work for...

    MY 2024 Headlights not fully Illuminated

    It’s not a 2024 only thing. It’s been present since 2021 when they introduced the matrix headlights. They won’t do anything for you, it’s just how it is.
