Given the ghosts that appear when my Y is parked in my carport, (semi's, pedestrians, motorcycles, etc.), I suspect it likely phantom brakes, even parked. But if it is in 'P', it's a little hard to tell. I know for sure it will phantom brake driving with absolutely everything possible turned...

So much ranting about Tesla communications, decisions and the effect on employees. It's pretty much baseless without direct knowledge of an enormous amount of facts. There is so much FUD directed at Tesla from the industries and competitors that Tesla is disrupting, I hate to see more piled...

And for an optical illusion, it makes a lot of noise while it's rashing your wheels against the curb.

Yes but we were less stupid then. Currently 42% of us can't find our way home without a gps. If that reaches 100% before Elon colonizes Mars, humanity is surely finished.

The reason for double yellow solid lines is because passing is unsafe. So I will sit behind the cyclist until they get off the road and stop so I can pass without getting out of my lane, or until either they or I get to our respective destination. Assuming we don't get killed by some fool...

That reminds me of when I hired a programmer, (around 40 years ago), he was one of those folks who thought he was the smartest person on planet earth. His first day he started in writing a program and called me over to explain to me what he was doing. "This is the compiler that I use. It is...

I learned early on, if it isn't broke, don't try to fix it. Medical doctors have a motto of; First, Do No Harm. It makes more sense if you understand, writing a computer program is very much like write a story for a book. The story simply expresses what you want the computer to do and the...

Clear liquid drops falling from the sky. Assumed to be water, (Chem: H2O), but considering the state of the world and Tesla in particular, anything is possible. . . . . . . . . . .

With HD3 v12.3.6, went around 50 miles 50/50 highway / city, yesterday in mild overcast, then medium rain. Everything went well and rain or overcast didn't seem to be any problem. Wipers responded appropriately from clear => few sprinkles => serious rain, no slow-downs or other oddities.

It appears that "single pull" is here to stay for a while and enough complaints have been logged, if it were easily solved, surely it would have been. I suggest that the fact that city is NN end to end and highway is still on heuristic code may be involved with this, and trying to force NN code...

I used to get those and generally it hadn't done anything except beep the warning. I always felt they were a variation on phantom braking, suddenly realizing it was not in it's lane or there was a shadow or a skid mark, response. About once in twenty of those, it would actually turn the...

My Tesla routinely hallucinates semi's while parked in my carport, which doesn't really bother me and certainly isn't a safety hazard. But seeing people walking around in a grave yard that normal humans can't see, not so much. I can picture it easily turning into a safety hazard as people...

.4 is really making me anxious to see the highway merge to v12. So much better than .3

Mine was $75 / month and my SS was 100%. Until I went to Burger King on an exceptionally slow day and waited in line for 45 minutes. SS went to 80 something for "following to closely". Premium went to $130 and eventually $150. I don't eat at Burger King any more and SS is now 100%, so...

To me, v11.x represented a valiant effort on Tesla's part to write software to take data in and output controls to the car well enough to allow the car to drive itself. I find it ironic that SpaceX has a recovery ship named "A Shortfall Of Gravitas", because of how accurately that describes...

If it bleeds, it leads! I really hate that as an operational model by the media.

Those people who provide training data manage to kill 40,000 of themselves in just the USA ever year. I'd be very nervous about my car "learning" from what it sees out on the road or from random people unless they have had a 100% safety score for a long time. I guess at this point I would have...

2022 MY LR When I was running 11.3.6, that is what mine did. Except mine was more like every 4th or 5th vehicle. If there was any consistency it was if I met a semi, followed closely by a car, it would likely be okay with the semi, but then the car would cause it to brake as hard as possible...

Agreed. For routine driving and you have charging at home, (like a wall connector), no need for adapters. For a trip of a few thousand miles and several states, to visit the kids or friends and stay with friends and family and B&Bs, perhaps a motel or 3 and like Star Trek, go where no one has...

I don't really agree. Wish I did, because it's a such a precise value. I believe the real march of 9's begins when the NHTSA data base verifies that FSD, with or without a human involved, is safer than human only driving. Translated that would be - How can anyone be opposed to something that...

One of the easily dealt with, possible Tesla problems is a failure of the 12/16 v battery. Not such a big deal on an ICE vehicle, but on a Tesla, you can't even open the doors, put it in neutral so it can be pulled onto a truck, etc. If you pop out the little disc on the front bumper, the...

This is probably a more rational viewpoint than mine personally. I have a horror of being stuck some place and at the mercy of those who just happen to have what I need, (for some astronomical price because they have me between a rock and a hard place). So I have a Tesla mobile connector, with...

Thread starterJasian22 Start dateApr 6, 2024 TagsNone Tesla forecasting tends to get a little iffy after "two weeks".

I really haven't had any phantom braking that I can detect while sitting in my carport. But based upon the strange things that flicker on and off on the display, semi trucks, cars, ATVs, traffic safety cones, pedestrians, animals, etc., I suspect that it may be trying to brake for some of them...

If this is because they are dangerous, then this is not enough. If they are so bad you can't drive one even with the driver assist turned off, then it should be illegal to own one? Or sell one?? But these have proven to be safer than cars without driver assist, therefore all motor vehicles...

Lots of people don't understand that insurance companies make vast amounts of money betting with people that things won't be as bad as they fear. And insurance companies are really good at it and know exactly what they are doing. I'm pretty sure it was called the 'Protection Racket' and with...

Last week the complaints were, "it's trying to kill me", "sliding to a stop in high speed traffic lane", "diving the wrong way into a one-way street". This week it's, "not enough human like", "accelerates too fast", "decelerates too fast", "not smooth enough". The march of 9's begins. . . . . .

The service manual has the procedures to follow if the camber or caster needs to be adjusted at: Model Y Service Manual | Tesla Since Tesla is kind enough to supply service manuals, it is really easier to look procedures up in there instead of just making up stuff.

All those questions will be answered Two Weeks after some future date following 8/8.

They will sell to anyone over 18 y/o who is not black listed and has the cash or finance. If you live within 50 miles of the store / service center they will deliver the vehicle if you chose that option. If you take delivery at the store, sales tax is Missouri unless the receipt or bill of sale...

I suggest $0.07 / passenger / mile for cars, $0.20 / passenger / mile for pickups, and $0.70 / mile empty + $0.70 / mile / trailer for semis.

No. When something quits working when an update is installed, service just says there is nothing they can do for it and just wait for the update that fixes it. For instance: After an update my Y suddenly had a real problem with sun on the left side. It is 16 miles South to town and all...

I can certainly tell you one way Tesla uses the safety score. I got 12.3.3 yesterday and went for a 50 mile drive. It is much better than 12.3, however - It was hard accelerating toward a yellow traffic signal which turned red when we were about 20 feet from the 'stop' line. It slammed on the...

I got 12.3.3 today and went for a 50 mile drive. Never got a nag, so had no opportunity to try it???

I can't remember for sure, but I don't think the nags were there when I got my YLR in May of 2022? It seems like they began about Feb of 2023 when FSD went to 11.3? But I too had little trouble learning the torque level required to keep it happy, but not override and disengage. However with...

So sad that Consumer Reports was such a good idea in the beginning and produced useful unbiased evaluations of products of all kinds and deserved the great reputation it had. The love of money being the root of all evil seems to be the inevitable destiny of all non-profits?

It used to be. But with updates it gradually got worse and worse. Now it takes 4 to disengage and 5 or 10 or ??? to satisfy the nag. I'll just keep trying it once in a while and if it becomes usable, then test it a bit on usefulness for driving.

I keep getting text messages that I will get 1 month of free FSD (supervised) if I take delivery of a new S - X or Y. Since I already paid for FSD on my Y years ago and don't have a usable version yet, don't think I will jump on that offer.

Because the tug on the wheel rarely works, if I just keep tugging a little harder back and forth, it will disengage before clearing the nag. Because the roller buttons on the wheel rarely work, if I just keep tugging the wheel harder and harder and rolling the rollers more and more eventually...

Mine goes to a spot 0.8 miles from my carport and when I manually drive to the carport, the display shows it in exactly the right place, but it insists that is .8 miles away from where it really is???

Nice discovery. I'll try it out the next time I am forced to drive.

Yeah. When I got my Y the factors (for me) were: Environmental wonderfulness 2% My age, when will DMV demand I personally stop driving? 4% Total cost of ownership for life of car. 4%...

Thanks! That will be a huge help. Also, it is so very typical of my Tesla learning experience. . . . . . . . At first my display, did not have an Icon like that. So I tried the 3 Dot icon to see the whole set of icons. Still don't have one. Looked carefully through each row, left to right...

Where is the dashcam icon and what does it look like? TIA

They disappeared last July with an update that shortened the distance for visualization for me. No more trash cans and mail boxes and no cars until they are within 75 feet or so and big trucks show up about 100 feet. Traffic signals don't show up if they are on the far side of the...

Perhaps 'you' can, but that is not available in my 2022 MYLR!

You haven't provided enough information for anyone to offer suggestions. If you live several floors up in an apartment building and your car sits outside in the weather at ground level, you are pretty much stuck with superchargers and that will make the cost around 2x home charging. But the...

As far as I can tell, when you set up a service transaction in or out of warranty, the Tesla system will automatically quote a cost for the suggested response to the stated problem. But then when it turns out to be within warranty, Tesla clears the charge and the actual repair is at no cost...

Went for a ride today. A couple of surprises. In a parking lot it suddenly slowed down and gently eased over a speed bump - perfect! And at the next one, at the last second it went to max acceleration and leaped over the speed bump, throwing the groceries over the rear seat back in to rear...

Yeah, that looks just like a trip in my MYLR, however mine stopped doing lane changes when I put on a turn signal and won't let me change lanes without disengaging. Each drive is a learning experience about what the car will do next. The weirdest of which, I believe, is when a route is...
