    Going from 2024.3.25 to 2024.14.x

    Went from 3.25 to 14.8 late last night. Had the free FSD trial last month.

    Vacation Condo Vehicle; Lost Phone Key connection, now can't control charging/security/etc

    I turned off bluetooth in my Samsung tablet after discovering that anyone could access the car and drive it if I left it in the car. No problems since.

    Wish List Item: Weather Radar

    Sounds like a good idea but not sure what that would look like. I found a Northeast weather radar that I saved as a favorite on the browser and it works well enough for ne.

    Dashcam / Sentry: How they work and what they do (and dont) do

    The videos show the cars parking but the little red dot is at the point where the occupant exits. I could have missed a parking car setting it off but it is usually a person exiting a vehicle.

    Relay attack article on Wired..still a problem apparently

    I considered using pin to drive but if the screen fails, there is no way to start the car. If you're really worried, use the key card exclusively.

    Dashcam / Sentry: How they work and what they do (and dont) do

    Never had a car that was parking activate it. The exiting occupants can set it off though.

    Thread for the most minor of suggestions

    A family member had an oncoming motorcycle lose its driver who landed on her windshield (DOA). Don`t know who paid for that windshield replacement.

    Streaming Question

    That's interesting about the browser being an app; didn't 'know that. I wish it had more features like tabs and such. Well, at least it can save favorites

    Streaming Question

    I was thinking of that when it happened so I tried a bunch of radio stations and all of them were out. Since you mention the apps, what service transmits those to the car? I have seen some say that they are related to the Tesla browser. If they are, I'm wondering how they work so well. The...

    Streaming Question

    Ok, thanks. So in my case it was a problem with the Tunein service only. I have experienced cases where Tunein and Slacker were both down but I suppose that there was a problem with whatever service (Tesla ?) provides LTE connectivity with the car.

    Streaming Question

    Tunein radio would not play as I left my drineway yesterday. This happens now and then when the car switches over from my wifi to LTE. This time, after being on LTE for a few miles I figured that there was a service interruption and not the fault of the car; no big deal. I tried switching over...

    2024.14.x on Intel MCU model 3

    Just a thought; the vast majority of cars out there are pre 2024. I would think that Tesla would be working to get the latest FSD versions and other features to those cars too since they will be the most visible cars out there for some time.

    2024.8 shafted with FSD trial?

    Mine expired 10 days ago. I didn't ask for it and didn't want it but when I got it I said to myself, 'what the hell', may as well play with it. I did and I learned a lot about something that I have only read about in the past. Thanks Tesla for the free trial.

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I neverr had an intrest in FSD but once they enabled it in my car, I couldn' t resist trying it. Overall, it worked well. One of the things I did learn is that FSD doesn't drive like me. I was not comfortable while using it. It also bothered me that the quick turns and accelleration, in some...

    Mine stated April 30 so I assume it's gone. I'll try it later.

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I recevied 2024.3.25 just around 11 pm tonight a decided to take the car out before my FSD expired. I drove around for over an hour and FSD worked fine after midnight. I noticed some changes in behavior. It did better at stop signs; less hesitation. Also, auto park worked very well. I could...

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    That matches my observations. I'm impressed with the general performance of FSD but it needs refinement. I wish Tesla would provide a way to adjust FSD to a driver's driving style. Perhaps a sliding scale one could move to adjust accelleration, cornering, stop sign behavior etc. I try to...

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I tried all of the settings on back street stop signs today. I saw no difference using the assertive' setting. I then tried a straight run on a highway with a lot of traffic lights. I didn't detect any difference, chill, standard or assertive.
  21. D

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I've had similar experiences. As long as I have FSD, I want to learn as much as I can. I am going to try the 'aggressive' setting with back street stop signs and see what it does.

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I saw some cones today. When returning home, no cones along the same route. They seem to appear and disappear. Otherwise, I'm not comfortable using it. As you point out, it doesn't detect bad spots on roads that I would normally take evasive action to avoid.

    Tesla: Highlights from our upcoming Spring Release below

    I would trust it as far as I would trust a conventional blind spot indicator light other cars use; maybe a bit more. I would like jt if the visualizion showed cars farther to the rear than they do now. I would think that the software engineers could do that. The cameras are good but detecting...

    Cruise Control eliminated in latest update

    If you don't set a destination, doesn't FSD act similarly to Autopilot? When I activate FSD on a limited access highway, it performs just like Autopilot, except, if traffic slows in my lane, it does a lane change on its own. Otherwise, I see no difference between Autopilot and FSD.

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I saw a lot of traffic cones on the visualization today. I don't knkw if I passed any garbage cans; didn't notice any.

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I also think the visualizations add to safety. I can see the cars all around me including the blind spots. If you activate a turn signal when a car is about to enter the blind spot, the image of the approaching car turns red to warn you. I think this feature is so good that I have deactivated...

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I tried chill today and it seemed to reduce accelleration from stop signs.
  28. D

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    Yes, it will. The car sometimes is too fast, in some situations, for me too. You can try putting the car in chill and the FSD on the less aggressive setting and see what happens.

    Tesla: Highlights from our upcoming Spring Release below

    Similar to what I see in the Trial FSD visualization. I can see all of the vehicles atound me including the blind spots. The blind spot camera views were an improvement but they are small and one must study the images to spot oncoming cars. I can instanly assess the position of vehicles around...

    Tesla: Highlights from our upcoming Spring Release below

    Totally agree, The trial FSD visualization almost appears to be an overhead view and I can see cars all around me. I like it better than the blind spot camera view feature; may even turn it off so as not to distract me.

    I was not aware that Auto Park was included. How is that activated?

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    The notes for update 3.10 mention improved visualization. An improved visualiztion was on my screen before I signed on for the trial FSD. Perhaps we got it in the update and it is what we are now seeing? https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2024.3.10/release-notes

    I was under the impression that 8.7 was going to Europe and that 3.10 had the FSD trial and was going out to cars in North America.

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    Not interested what FSD subscribers have to say. They are mostly sold on it. I am interested in what non FSD Tesla owners like myself think. I had no intrest in FSD before this free trial. It is now in my car so I'm going to cautiously try it out. Nothing to lose and I'll at least have the full...

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    Received the update last night. I was surprised to see the trial FSD offer when I started the car today. I must say that the FSD visualization is a definite improvement in and of itself. I believe it adds to safety as I can see more vehicles around me. I actually moved the blind spot camera...

    Yay! 2024.3.6 downloading

    I get the impression from this thread that all Tesla owners are getting a free trial of FSD with this update whether they requested it or not. Is this the case?

    Emergency Flashers While Moving In Traffic

    I forgot to add that I was using TACC when this was happening. I tried signaling many times but no camera views appeared. When I turned off the emergency flashers, camera views resumed; everything was back to normal.

    Turn signal operation.

    In my experience, the blinker stays on if there is a painted left turn arrow on the pavement.

    Emergency Flashers While Moving In Traffic

    I noticed something new to me today. I was in a funeral procession where all of the participating cars drove with their emergency flashers activated. When cars passed my car on either side, they all turned red on the display; same as when the car detects a hazard. Also, when doing a lane change...

    Turn signal operation.

    I noticed that the signal cancels as soon as the front wheel crosses the lane marking of the lane that the car is leaving.

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    You can apply the emergency brake, while the car is moving, by pushing in and holding the button on the end of the shifter.

    Things That Tesla Has Fixed

    I believe that is the collision avoidance. It happened to me once while changing lanes. The alarm went off and my car actually pulled itself back into my lane. I was thinking more of an audiblle warning that would sound if your turn signal was on and a car was in the blind spot; the same way...

    Things That Tesla Has Fixed

    The red blind spot warning on the camera view is an improvement but it needs an audible warning tone so it would not be necessay to look at the screen.

    Matrix Headlights Capabilities Enablement Timeline

    I know matrix high beam headlights add or decrease light depending on the presence or absence of other vehicles. Does this mean that they can be left on and that normal low beam headlight use will no longer be needed?

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    I've always gently pressed the stalks on all the cars I have driven; just the natural way I do it and never gave it any thought. I must say that the soft press and rebound of the M3 stalk is very nice and has a quality feel to it.

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    Reminds me of the issues with unfamiiar passengers attempting to open the door for the first time. I have to run around to the other side of the car to show them how and then instruct them about using the button to exit.
