    Can FSD hallucinate?

    Thank you diplomat33, this is very helpful for my understanding of FSD. Re your second paragraph, this issue would seem to not bode well for Musk's vision for FSD, no pun intended.

    Can FSD hallucinate?

    I've come to understand that FSD, with it's intense data gathering, training models, and dojo neuron networks, is a large AI application. Chat GPT and other better known AI applications are known to sometimes hallucinate, to make mistakes, even to make up facts. My question is can FSD behave...

    How does FSD data collection work?

    Thank you. Excuse my ignorance but I didn't even realize my car had an internal modem transmitting data to the mother ship over the phone network. But surely there's not sufficient bandwidth for video transmission from the cameras?

    How does FSD data collection work?

    Good point, you're correct, but how does Tesla do that, what technology is transmitting the data?

    How does FSD data collection work?

    I'm a happy and impressed FSD user who is curious about how Tesla gathers FSD data, filters and uses it to improve future versions. My first question is re Teslas not using FSD. Musk has implied that the millions of Teslas currently on the road are somehow providing the company data that will...

    Tesla in crisis?

    BTW, want to thank you all for this thoughtful discussion. I tried to have this conversation on Reddit but it went sideways fast and the mods took it down.

    Tesla in crisis?

    Interesting ideas, esp US battery production for the M3, anything to bring the price down improves sales. How much revenue does Tesla get from AI, energy, or robots for that matter? Lot of future potential but not much yet.

    Tesla in crisis?

    Seems that a reasonable argument could be made that the company is in crisis. Would like to hear your thoughts. Consider the following: missed quarterly earnings, declining quarterly sales, dramatically increasing Chinese competition, best selling Model Y long in the tooth, Model Two on hold...

    Auto-brights?

    The auto-brights on my Y work better than the auto-wipers, which of course isn't saying much, but frequently they work fine. However, just as often, when I'm driving at night on a dark road, no traffic, no distracting signs, no street lights, or house lamps etc, in other words where the brights...

    Road Noise; Reducing the Model 3 road noise, primarily from tires and louder on rough highway asphalt

    Patrick, in your opinion how effective was the TroyStudio blanket in reducing road noise? Was it worth the $70 cost?

    Steering wheel, heater auto

    Thanks to both of you. So the auto setting adjusts seat and wheel heating element relative to the cabin temp. Makes sense, thanks again.

    Steering wheel, heater auto

    What exactly is the “auto“ setting for seat and steering wheel heaters? What is the result if they’re set to auto? Automatically sets them at what temp?

    Fan on, heat and ac off?

    I’ve been advised to leave the fan running without heat or a/c for 10-15 minutes to avoid the smelly sock odor. But the fan seems directly connected to heat/ac, how can I turn on fan w/o heat or ac?

    Touch up paint for 20” inductions

    Yes they're available, but there are many stories of the rim protectors coming unglued over time, often causing body damage.

    Touch up paint for 20” inductions

    Rustoleum 948-928, available on Amazon, said to be a good match.

    Paint for 20” Induction wheels repair

    So I’m a cheapskate (yes driving a $60k MY) and hate the thought of paying $30+ for literally half an oz of the Sportline paint. Surely with all the curb rashing going on someone must have found a Rustoleum or otherwise reasonably priced paint that matches the MY 20” Induction wheels?

    Model 3 Road Noise

    I have now added acoustic material to frunk and sub trunk and I can hear the improvement, it is not huge, but noticeable. Will never be Audi or MB level, but getting better.

    Solved: Road Noise & Front Wind Noise

    Re "the 2" fiber insulation behind the rear seat side panels that cover the rear wheel wells." I have two questions. First, is it difficult to remove the rear seat side panels? I have a Model Y any suggestions? Second, did you use simple home attic insulation, or something special?

    Park Assist Upgrade - contest for the spookiest pictures

    When I bought my Tesla I was taken with the revolutionary nature of the product, it felt, and still feels, rule-breaking, industry-disrupting, fundamentally changing the automotive world. I'm still feeling the love, wouldn't trade it for anything, but every once in a while I just wish it was a...

    Park Assist Upgrade - contest for the spookiest pictures

    Am I the only person having trouble reading the new display of the surroundings? Red/yellow/grey, what’s it all mean? Today I pulled into a parking spot, on the screen the car is touching red, I get out, I’m 4’ from the nearest object.

    Model 3 Road Noise

    Inspired by enemji and Georgesb2, I bought some Second Skin sound deadening material when they had a sale, and today I lined my Model Y frunk, subtrunk, and parts of the trunk. I liked enemji’s reasoning that these parts of the car might act like speaker enclosures. At the same time given all...

    Heated Steering wheel -2023 Model YLR

    Related question. On a cold morning when I get in the car I use voice commands: first, “set heat to high,” then “Enable seat heater,” then “turn on steering wheel heater.” is there a way to enable all three at once, either by voice command or . . . ?

    Solved: Road Noise & Front Wind Noise

    So it looks like you've applied sound deadening material to the entire floor of the cab? How's the result? Did you measure db pre and post? And is this a 3 or a Y?

    I found Noisee froze consistently, moved to the NIOSH app, seems to read a couple db lower, doesn't freeze.

    Road Noise; Reducing the Model 3 road noise, primarily from tires and louder on rough highway asphalt

    George, I'm a fairly new MY owner and enjoying your posts very much, thank you. Working on road noise, I just ordered some Second Skin Damplifier Pro sheets (they had a big Black Monday sale) and wondered if it's what you used. I ordered the. After I ordered late last nite in order to get their...
