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.

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

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...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

Don't see a stalk in this 1940's Messerschmitt either...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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...

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?

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.

I just found that, thanks. I will try it on my next drive.

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...

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...

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?

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.

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

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...

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

Same here.

I've thought about that when Tesla started using laminated glass side windows I thought about that when Tesla started using laminated glass in the side windows. It was my undrstading that manufacturers used single pane glass on side windows to enable rescuers to quickly extract trapped...

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

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...

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.

Some progress coming in Europe. Can the U.S. be far behind? https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2024.8/release-notes

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?

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.

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.

Keeping the car awake if the 12v battery is failing. I haven't been seeing stories of stranded drivers lately so I assume this fix is working well.

Not to mention starters. We have electric motors in our cars that will last hundreds of thousands of miles; but starters ( electric motors ) that die after a few years.

I don't get into the complicated stuff much. All I know is that my car indicates about 176 - 177 or so miles on my daily charge to 50%. Double that for 352 - 354 miles at 100%; if that kind of a calculation is even valid, I don't know. Most of the time I just drive the car and enjoy it.

Isn't plugging in the start of a charge session, cold battery or not? I thought idle fees start when you fail to unplug 1 minute after charging.

I hate when that happens. My old Ford has hit more than a few such craters and has survived every one of them. I never thought about weakened tires. They survived the hits and continued until they were worn out.

If the battery is fully preheated enroute to a Supercharger, what is the average percentage of time one can expect to save while charging from 20% to 80% ? I know that many factors are involved such as 150 vs 250 vs 300, weather and such.

I charge using level 1 every day the car is used after my short local driving. The car sometimes sits in the garage with Sentry on and charging. I do not see any difference when charging with Sentry on or off. However, I have tried charging with Sentry off but with the heat turned on and the car...
