    FSD HW3 update - wait 2 weeks for "bulletin to populate in profile" before ordering parts?

    I don't know what the bulletin is, probably just a notification to parts that you have paid for the upgrade and an okay to ship the parts. But two weeks isn't really a significant wait for service. I think that my CCS update took 3 weeks to schedule.

    Updated to v12, 2024.14.6 with FSD and it's awesome!

    I've been using FSD 12 for awhile now and it is indeed pretty great. The stand behind option is only available for a few newer cars.

    Autopilot vs FSD

    That's what I was alluding to. FSD works off of the highway, so on a long trip, FSD doesn't help you between the cities, only once you exit the Interstates. So if you want to experience FSD, that's best done when you aren't mostly on the Interstate.

    Did Tesla design cars to be able to take a range extender just incase?

    Have a great weekend in your artificially small world.

    Cyber(nota)truck even more Not a truck than I first thought

    Cybertruck is far from an anemic production. I believe they are outpacing the Model 3 introduction at this point. They are probably over 50% of the line capacity.

    Cyber(nota)truck even more Not a truck than I first thought

    Does your daddy know that you are on these forums? Because you are really using childish terms. And no, there will NOT be any significant design changes for MANY years.

    Minor Phantom Braking Observation

    She doesn't like big trucks and has problems passing them. Seems to describe her response fairly well. And back on subject, that may just be the car reaching distance that it wants to start matching speeds with the leading vehicle at.

    Locked out of my M3P

    AFAIK, butts out of seats, doors closed will allow the car to lock. It's just as much a safety thing so that you don't leave the car unlocked with your phone available on a city street. I believe that there is an option to keep unlocked at home. There have been a few situations of phone in...

    One thing that makes me uncomfortable with FSD or autopilot

    This one it easy, you are both wrong. And for any perceived reason, it's easy to come up with the devil's advocate position. And for everyone that wants to drive on the right, there seems to be someone that wants to drive on the left. The center is the best and safest place. You have more...

    Help me decide Model 3P or Model YP

    It will probably get the exact same goodies, with a few more. The Model 3 and Model Y have pretty much been identical all of their lives, and even the update is only marginally different. Tesla is always making tweaks on the vehicles. The Model Y today is different than the Model Y that I...

    Did Tesla design cars to be able to take a range extender just incase?

    Okay, maybe not change in rate of growth, but you are still playing with percentages and making possibly invalid assumptions. It's somewhat similar to the statement that food causes cancer, because in 100% of the cancer cases, the patient ate food. The researcher forgot to look at the other...

    Autopilot vs FSD

    OMG, I've got a Cybertruck and t only has #1. Stopping at traffic lights and Stop signs is considered a "Beta" function. It is so stressful not having FSD now. I'm actually having to keep the car between the lines. I have to push the accelerator to start the vehicle from a red light. It doesn't...

    2024.8 shafted with FSD trial?

    That's way over judging him. He barely knows when the mainstream vehicles get their software. Hence part of his under-judgement on how long it will take everyone to get the software that he is running today. He tends to assume that once it leaves the core development it's only weeks before...

    Full FSD Free Trial: Why I'd never buy it . . . ever.

    Did Tesla design cars to be able to take a range extender just incase?

    That reminds me of just a few years ago when the US went to Digital TV. It was years of gloom and doom. The TVs were going to be too expensive, no one wanted it. They even came out with DTV converters for older TVS. Then the conversion date occurred. The prices in TVs were actually cheaper than...

    Did Tesla design cars to be able to take a range extender just incase?

    So many people look at change in rate of growth and think that it is percentage of sales or rate of growth. If the rate of growth goes down, the only thing that it may mean that instead of growing 30% year over year, it's now growing 29%.

    So why see if they would let you when you can hit them full frontal and make them say no? I decided to go look at their tariffs. Didn't really see the normal stuff, but the looked around. It appears that they have a VERY POSITIVE EV program! One of the worst statements I found was And some...

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    NJ to Florida? You will fly by probably 5 Superchargers for everyone you stop at. Okay, I counted 27 Superchargers from NJ to Baltimore, too tired to count the rest of the way!

    What's with all the 6 kW public L2 chargers? Why is it so rare to find faster AC charging options?

    You normally don't get a choice. And if you are L2 charging, 10% really doesn't make a huge difference. 4 hours or 4 hours 24 minutes, in neither case are you probably sitting there waiting.

    Cabin camera covered with tape and now I can't use my $5,000 Autopilot option. version 2024.3.25

    "I was under the impression that the $5,000 I spent on the AP option gave me ownership of the option in my car that I paid for and continue to pay for." Nope, you only paid for the rights to use it. You do NOT own the software. Can you access your car via the Tesla app? You own a Tesla, one...

    What's with all the 6 kW public L2 chargers? Why is it so rare to find faster AC charging options?

    Just like @Rocky_H said, the voltage is often a little high to allow for voltage to drop. Or another way to put it, if 250V was the target, then the utility would already be in trouble at your house. They aren't delivering the desired voltage. Take a look at Standard and Common Voltage Levels...

    [idea for] Vision only+personal HD Maps, custom routes?

    I'm not really disagreeing with you, but you kind of brought up the reason why Tesla has two sets of maps. The map segments that you see (Google Maps) are indeed downloaded and displayed for you to see. They are downloaded as needed and you can sometimes see when the maps are missing. But the...

    [idea for] Vision only+personal HD Maps, custom routes?

    I think that he said pretty much exactly as I said and as Tesla has done. I hear him saying that his cars can't read the road that well. And with AI, it could do better. Tesla has been there, done that. And that AI is needed to scale it. Again, Tesla, been there, done that. Sure, early on...

    Thoughts on Superchargers After a 2300 mile trip

    It indicates 315 miles when driving at EPA standards. For real life range, look at the Energy graphs, it gives estimations based on your last X minutes of driving. It's usually really close.

    [idea for] Vision only+personal HD Maps, custom routes?

    The ironic thing here is that Tesla is doing this. In one of the last meetings, they were discussing how the vehicles collect the information about intersections and that they are collecting it and having it available to use. BUT, HD maps are NOT the panacea that you may believe. Waymo and...

    Local Electric Company wants EV owners to pay for upgrading neighborhood infrastructure.

    I just went back and reread the OP posts. It really doesn't even appear that they have talked to the utility, just read things. It also appears that the $4000-$5000 that they posted was made-up. (Why would the utility quote a lower number?) I'm not sure if the OP has even checked to see if...

    Local Electric Company wants EV owners to pay for upgrading neighborhood infrastructure.

    If you are in an area in which the utilities are limited, then municipalities have enforced different policies to keep the "lights on" There are often building restrictions on new developments in water distressed areas. In NYC, there are limitations in many building about how many kW/sqft that...

    Thoughts on Superchargers After a 2300 mile trip

    I missed the part where you gave the system some credit for proactively notifying you that a Supercharger went down. I've had this happen to me one in the past, it didn't go down while I was on that segment, but it did let me know that I would have to stop at other areas. The "breaker" could...

    2024.8 shafted with FSD trial?

    You've got to stop just disengaging it all the time. Give the car a chance. Also, once you are past whatever the problem was, turn it back on. Yes, there are still a few problem spots for FSD, but only a few. I got my Cybertruck last week. It's stressful to drive, because I don't have FSD on it...

    Cybertruck Will Feel Dated By the Time it Comes Out?

    I guess your friend would have freaked out when I too my Cybertruck for a 250+ mile round trip this weekend and arrived home at 6%. And the last part was over mountains and rural areas and the nearest Supercharge was back at the midway point. And one of the 3000 ft mountains was near the end.

    Cybertruck Will Feel Dated By the Time it Comes Out?

    My opinion is that the decline in sales is because Detroit starting spewing FUD about how EVs aren't the solution. And that was ONLY because they were having production issues.

    FSD from a year ago is very different than it it with V12. It may have a few quirks, but the good far outweighs the bad.

    FSD 12.3 today - utter failure!

    Who said excessive speeding? Not me. With automatic speed turned off, the car will go the speed of the limit plus offset, unless there is something in front or a curve or other obstruction. And this "it sets it to 50%+ and then 30%+" stuff is completely bogus (and changing). Because on a 55mph...

    What's the problem keeping the most distance from surrounding traffic? I couldn't really see how far away the car was from the line. But it actually looked like it was a similar distance to the car in front. It's not dangerous. I want it to go back to the middle, but it isn't dangerous, it's an...

    I'm sorry, but you seem to be interpreting this far differently than is obvious to me. First, I don't see "50" anywhere in the messages. My 45 was explicitly in an area that showed a 25 mph Speed Limit in the car. That's how I knew it. Why does it tend to drive slower with the Automatic Set...

    FSD 12.3 today - utter failure!

    @AlanSubie4Life has disagreed with m Can you show me a screen or information that backs up your hypothesis? It's certainly not what I've seen in my cars. And in case you couldn't do the math, when going 45 in a 25 mph zone, that's a LOT more than 50%.
