Same here. Regularly drive this and a newer AP 3.0 car. The vision+radar FW has less phantom braking, follow distance of 1 (even though it’s now more than AP 2.5 follow distance of 1), and 90 mph limit.

For safety issues such as this, you need to either drop your car at a SC without an appointment, and refuse to leave before they look at it, or use the app to tow your car to a SC. Then again, in my case, they looked at it and failed to spot it…

Are you willing to split and sell a pair?

Glad you’re alive. Seems to be a common issue, unfortunately. My car wasn’t part of the official recall

That’s how one would suppose SW should be versioned (or add another . for bug fixes) but it’s certainly not the case with Tesla. For example, 2022.20.7 added a new, more complex, range estimation algorithm over .6 per @greentheonly

In general, (at the same capacity,) lead acid batteries have a lower internal resistance than lithium ion batteries.

Everyone should research what happens on the autobahn. Hint: its per-mile fatality rate is less than half of US interstates. http://www.bast.de/EN/Publications/Media/Unfallkarten-international-englisch.pdf?__blob=publicationFile The common mistake here is to assume travel speed (and speed...

FSD beta 10.5 is absolutely horrible and unusable in the day too if the 2-lane road has any curves. Turning off FSD beta improves it significantly, but still way worse than radar+vision

Any luck?

It will ride better, but it won’t match the LR. The performance suspension is stiffer and rides 0.6” lower than the LR

Exactly like driving to 95 in normal cars. If autosteer is on AND you exceed the limit, you’ll get locked out of autosteer for the remaining of the drive. P.S. it’s not just the obvious limitations of 80mph and follow distance of 2. The overall autopilot performance on my vision-only Model Y...

It locks you out of autopilot. Similar to 90mph in vision+radar cars. Very annoying.

They are not all mediocre. Some are pretty decent. For all-around driving, Tesla's L2 system is IMHO currently the best. For geofenced highways, not so much. But only one auto company, Tesla, sells an L2 system with the unsubstantiated promise of L5 in a few weeks to a few years. Something...

The smoke / dust was almost certainly from seatbelt pretensioners. While deploying airbags may have been a losing proposition in this impact (whiplash reduction vs. inherent dangers), pretensioners would have been a no brainer. Also, the survival space for the third row, if there had been...

Yes, like this brilliant piece of homedepot engineering: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/found-this-little-gem-on-my-55k-model-y.205922
