I was out $1000+ a few years back on 18” wheels driving manually. The black pothole looked identical to multiple other filled holes. Thinking back, my front left tire may have dislodged the fill plug followed by the rear hitting the hole.

My 2018 M3 in SoCal recently updated to 12.3.3. Today I set my profile to no fsd and then when I wanted TACC, I found it was on fsd(s). No message other than the email. And my MX up in Oregon is still on fsd 11. Looking forward for another SpaceX launch hopefully visible from here in La Quinta...
