And another thing -- on a ULT, 12.3.6 was headed for a roadway that was under construction. I was coming out of the driveway from the south. All traffic on the formerly 3-lane road has been diverted to the newly added eastbound lanes, and the old roadway has been demolished for construction of...

😁That's exactly what it did when a light turned yellow on me yesterday. It was like there were 2 little people in the computer fighting over whether it should stop or go. Made me think of those cartoons where there's an angel whispering on one shoulder and a devil on the other. To be fair...

Scary situation on 12..3.6 today. It was at what I call an Optional Protected Left Turn: the left turn signal has a green arrow and a yellow arrow, but no red arrow. The yellow arrow was lit when I entered the turn lane, and had gone dark by the time I reached the intersection. I expected...

OK, I see the LEDs on my phone camera. So I don't know why it's not detecting me looking straight ahead. Maybe my eyes are too dark, or my lids too droopy, or it's because I'm sitting too far back, or something to do with the lighting on the freeway. 😕

Didn't someone say the driver camera had infrared or something, that could track your eyes at night? I drive mostly in the daytime, since my low light vision is not what it used to be. With absolutely no pressure on the steering wheel, I've had virtually no nags while driving daytime since...

I'm still waiting for Plain Old Summon on 2024 MY.

Or a voice command.

I don't know, but I assume the drivers just leave the keys in the ignition, and would probably do the same with a key card. Maybe I'm wrong, and they know enough to move it to the cupholder and back to the transmitter area upon arrival. I'm wondering whether the steel shells of the Autoracks...

12.3.6 slowed down to avoid a bird strike this evening. :) As it made the turn into my subdivision, a crow that was in the middle of the road flew up right in front of the car, and it slowed down to avoid it. I passed under an overhead School Zone sign with flashing yellow light. The car...

Has anyone taken their Tesla on the Amtrak Auto Train? Did the drivers know how to shift into Drive & Park? Did the car go to sleep with the key card left on the console? Was the car reachable by the app while in the Autorack?

This seems courteous, but is actually unsafe behavior if there is a lane of traffic to your left. The driver exiting the driveway may feel pressured to pull out, even though he can't see whether cars are approaching in the left lane (or a 2-way left turn lane.)

You must not be making many ULT's into divided highways.

It does a terrible job in busy parking lots. In a parking garage, Navigation thought it was driving on the street outside the garage. I don't know what it would have done if I had enabled FSD, because it seemed like a bad idea to try it. This was exiting after an event, so traffic was...

Where are the "Superchargers that have automatic charge connection enabled?"

It seems that laws have changed since I took Driver's Ed in 1969 ... and nobody told me! :confused:

I enabled auto speed today in a 35 zone. I turned it off when my speed reached 48, and still slowly accelerating. It seems to want to go as fast as the fastest car on the road, not the average.

As long as it takes to reach a passing zone. Crossing a double-yellow is illegal and a stupid move.

I haven't experienced them myself, but as I understand it: Summon basically moves in a straight line either forwards or backwards. For example, you could line the car up for a tight parking spot, get out of the car, and then move it into the space by remote . Smart Summon is supposed to be...

Current price for a base MYLR is $47,990 -- exactly what's shown on my order summary from Feb. 2024. I guess the price back then benefited from the temporary February price drop. Things are right back where they were before, except that I got a smallish $2,450 inventory discount. I've been...

I've heard quite a few peeps on these boards.

I though the current up-front tax exemption was good thru the end of the year (unless Tesla decides to opt out, which would be exceedingly stupid.)

I think it's useful for checking blind spots.

What's done is done. The point is finding a way to stop the Tesla liner from slipping, not to expend a few hundred dollars on another one.

But you need to add taxes to the electric cost. Taxes are shown separately on the bill, and most taxes are calculated as a percentage of your bill. The rate of the various taxes may not be shown on the bill, so some basic arithmetic is needed to estimate the taxation rate.

Duke Energy Florida: RS-1 is default rate plan; RST-1 is optional TOU plan On RST-1: On-Peak is M-F 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., plus Dec.-Feb. only, M-F 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Super-Off-Peak is Mar.-Nov., every day (including weekends and holidays) 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. All other times are...

Wish they would improve the USB player.

Nowadays, majority of reporters have no idea of what they are talking about when reporting on anything, especially in local media.

No, it's OK as long as the guy in the commercial doesn't see himself watching the commercial. It's all timey-wimey.

Are there plans to retrofit V3 chargers with longer cords so that non-Tesla vehicles don't need to block access to adjacent chargers?

That seems like a level of added effort that the HOA may not want to take on. If it's self-managed, the association treasurer (a homeowner volunteer) might get stuck with the work. If they contract for outside management, they may get billed for the time it takes to figure that out every month...

No, but I think I saw orange construction barrels on the side of road transform into people as I passed by and then disappear.

FSD 12.3.4 (software 2024.3.15) is installing now on 2024 MYLR.

My phone also shows FSD subscription @ $99.00/mo on the Android app, but purchase price is still $12,000. I'm in, if it's still at that price when my referral + trial expires in June. ETA: It's official. MarketWatch says...

I use Android. Stop signs were only displayed after Start was tapped. It looked like it may have been displaying only ones coming up shortly. But the point is, Google does have stop signs & signals in their map data.

There's a YouTuber in SF who posts numerous POV Waymo rides. Here's one of his latest:

Google does have stop signs and signals, but they're only visible while actually navigating.

What's "CT"?

What could possibly go wrong? ;)

It needs to be based on what's planned after the turn. If there's a right turn within a quarter mile after the left turn, it should choose the rightmost left turn lane, even if there's a line of cars in it. If there are no turns closely following the left, then fine, choose either -- but MAKE...

The Model Y Owner's Manual says:

Does that all the time, since my a***ole neighbor has been parking his giant pickup truck with the trailer right up to the right edge of my driveway. Navigation shows a right turn out of my driveway, but Tesla always takes a left. It's roughly the same distance out either way, so it's no big...

By then we should all be charging by driving on inductive charge equipped roads.

It gives options, but usually not the one I want. Example: coming home from the south, FSD's route goes straight across an intersection onto a winding 2-lane road, followed by an ULT from a stop sign onto a busy divided highway, and then a left into my development. (That's also the one that...

That's not my experience. It was going 12-13 miles over the limit on a 45mph surface road, even when it was not in traffic. I finally disengaged automatic max. It was making me nervous when I had seen a trooper on that stretch a little while earlier.

Seems to have a lot of trouble with lane selection, particularly when a lane splits into 2 (like a turn lane or a widening in the road.)

What does all this stuff about location filming have to do with AutoPark? :confused:

When you say "helped it with lane selection", do you mean disengaged and reengaged?

The site plan shows Phases 1, 2, and 3. They're probably just building out Phase 1 initially. Are the squares in the centers of Phases 1 & 2 amenities, or electrical equipment?

I was thinking the same thing. The rub is that the garage may be too far from the street for the car to recognize it as a parking spot. Does AutoPark work into a space that's behind the car, as opposed to beside it?
