    FSD 12.3.3 first drive - safe, super boring

    I took a couple hour freeway drive yesterday and tried FSD again. I had EAP on my 2018 Models 3, but not my current 2023 Model 3. For a while I was thinking "this is a lot better than EAP was on my old tesla" as it did a good job with following distance and smoother lane changes than it used...

    FSD 12.3.3 first drive - safe, super boring

    I played with it yesterday and today and that was my experience. It did many things really, really well. But a few things it did poorly (taking a sharp ramp way too fast and getting us pretty close to a concrete wall) and it was more stressful to monitor it than it was just to drive myself.

    I've been getting a lot of dry wipes recently, too.

    Car Key Evolution-what's next ?

    Does any car aside from Tesla use phone as unlock? 2018 is a fairly long time ago in tech terms, but I'm still the only person I know who doesn't carry a car key/fob.

    Retrofit heated steering wheel ?

    I had a 2018 Model 3 as well, and now have a 2022 with one and I love it. If I could only have either the heated steering wheel or the heated seats, I'd take the heated steering wheel.

    $2 per mile, Tesla safety score insurance hike 50%

    I do not use an insurance company that tracks my driving/data like that. I know many do and are happy with it, but that is where I draw a line on privacy.

    I'll have to check - mine had it there a couple weeks ago.

    That's a nice paper. Thanks for posting the link.

    Ordering my new baby. What should I watch out for upon pickup? What accessories would you get right away?

    I agree with this. In my 2018 M3 I replaced the trunk lights with LED, but haven't done anything with the 2022 M3 except floor mats. I think the "notorious for fit an finish" is way overblown as well.

    Current M3 owner is looking for another Tesla

    I'd choose the Model Y in a heartbeat for the same price. The extra features of the S don't do much for me, but the larger rear storage on the Y is something I would find valuable. I'd also prefer the longer range of the Y and the extra warranty/less wear on the Y compared to the S.

    Efficiency: 2018 LR RWD vs 2022 LR AWD

    I'm curious - has there been an improvement in the motor efficiency over the years? I had a 2018 LR RWD with a lifetime average of 257 Wh/mi over ~60k miles. It was in an accident and I replaced it in the fall with a 2022 LR AWD. I expected with AWD that efficiency would drop a bit, but it's...

    changing headlights on model 3

    We hit a deer with our 2022 M3 and broke the headlight (luckily nothing else). Tesla price for the light itself was ~$1200, though you can find on ebay for ~$250. I debated buying off ebay and installing myself (you still need to have Tesla program the light), but opted to have Tesla do it...
