If you're ok with doing the work yourself and not using new OEM parts, you'd probably be around $200 in parts (used OEM axle from eBay and aftermarket suspension link). Of course for this to go smoothly you'll need the right tools and some experience doing suspension pieces and your own...

I kind of wonder if maybe you broke a rear axle. It seems like something that should trigger a code, but maybe it wouldn't if the car uses the wheel speed sensors to determine motor speed. If the software isn't set up to detect it, you'd basically just end up front wheel drive and it would...

I think it may be a concern that the wheels won't stay pointed straight. I don't know what the control logic is for locking the steering wheel, I just know that I've never encountered a situation where the steering wheel was locked in place like you would normally have on most cars with the key...

I'm on the free trial and have used it. It seems to require either painted lines on the ground or cars that it can park next to.

No complaints here; it's programmed exactly like I would like it to be and I can't think of anything that could be done to improve it. It starts its countdown within a second or two of stopping behind the car, the countdown beeps and flashes are very obvious and hard to miss, and it gives you...

I'm actually working on that option for my car right now. The PCB I designed should arrive in the next few days and then I'll get to start snooping CAN data and writing firmware to use the steering wheel controls to control my new cruise options to make the car behave exactly like I want it to...

It doesn't help you now, but I bet if you had scheduled it to install later at a specific time it wouldn't have gone away. I always use the schedule option if I'm too busy to install right away and never had the new firmware disappear.

It does do one thing: it's an alternative way to clear the steering wheel nags when they pop up. I prefer it to putting torque on the wheel since. For me the buttons have a lot lower risk of accidentally disengaging autosteer / FSD.

Autopark is included in the 2024.14.6 update that is rolling out to cars right now. My car got the update on Monday and I'd expect most cars to have it within a week or two. I didn't see any options for summon, but I didn't go looking for it either.

The trolley problem always seems ridiculous because it completely ignores the third option, which is the one any self driving car is going to do: brake as hard as possible without deviating from the lane the car is in. FSD seems to be programmed to avoid going faster than it can see so should...

I didn't notice any correlation like that. What I have noticed is that the nags are much more frequent around sunrise, sunset, and on very overcast days. I get almost no nags driving on a sunny day or at night. I'm guessing it might be caused by glare on my glasses preventing the interior...

No, it's definitely a Google map data problem. Prior to about a year ago all the driveways in my area were visible on Google maps and in the Tesla navigation map (since it uses Google data). They disappeared in both places at the same time and also around that time everyone that uses an...

No, I don't have any unintentional disengagements anymore. When I was first using it, all my unintentional disengagements were from trying to clear the nags by applying torque on the wheel. I solved that by only using the "unused" buttons on steering wheel (sideways clicks on the right scroll...

It has FSDS 12.3.6 and still has nags. I didn't notice any difference in nag behavior since my V11 trial. It still nags a lot around sunrise / sunset and on overcast days. It's a lot less frequent on sunny days or after dark. I also found out that pressing the cruise control button does not...

Speed limits show up properly on Apple Maps. I suspect they don't show up properly on Google Maps, but I don't use that much anymore. I do know for sure that Google "forgot" a lot of mapping information for the area about a year ago. It no longer knows where most driveways are, even though it...
