I have been experimenting with the driving visualization, in regards to blind spot detection of other vehicles, since the visualization was improved in one of the recent updates. I have found that if I minimize the entertainment display at the bottom, I can see cars about a car lenght to the...

My 22 LR has always had an ' add to favorites ' star shaped icon and the thumbs up icon. I know that pressing the star icon would place a song into the favorites list of songs. I could not figure what effect pressing the thumbs icon had. If I select a song in the favorites list, another...

I assume that you are referring to the 'Tesla Favorites' button?

We think alike. I just recently started to exclusively use dark mode. I don't need such a bright screem and I also just like the dark background on the map. I also think that they could provide more visability to the rear in the driving visualization. I experimented by turning off the blind spot...

I never change my set temperature, I just run the fan. If the cabin starts to get slightly warm, I just set climate on auto and let the car use AC.

On nice days, when the inside of the car gets a little warm from sunlight coming through the windows, I run climate on fan only with no AC.

A recent update added a navigation app/icon to the app storage at the bottom of the screen. I tapped on it but nothing happens. Anyone know its purpose?

No, did not lock car. It was in my garage and the AC was not on; only the fan. Just experimenting.

Just noticed a notification from Tesla on the phone reninding me that climate has been active for a long period. Nice to know they keep track in case a driver forgot it was on and running down the battery.

It was a little warm and I had the AC on today. I usually turn off the AC for a mile or so before home and just run the fan to get rid of moisture. Today I did not turn the AC off until I got home. I decided to run the climate on 'Keep' with the AC off; just the fan running. Found a little...

They did some work on the browser. All of my saved favorites have a nice sized icon next to the website name.

Went from 3.25 to 14.8 late last night. Had the free FSD trial last month.

I turned off bluetooth in my Samsung tablet after discovering that anyone could access the car and drive it if I left it in the car. No problems since.

Sounds like a good idea but not sure what that would look like. I found a Northeast weather radar that I saved as a favorite on the browser and it works well enough for ne.

The videos show the cars parking but the little red dot is at the point where the occupant exits. I could have missed a parking car setting it off but it is usually a person exiting a vehicle.

I considered using pin to drive but if the screen fails, there is no way to start the car. If you're really worried, use the key card exclusively.

Never had a car that was parking activate it. The exiting occupants can set it off though.

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.
