    Tesla Model S 2018 aftermarket base audio speaker upgrade

    I actually didn't run my own wires, the shop that installed the amp/DSP did, so I don't know what they pulled as source signal. They ran new wires from the amp/DSP back to the tweeter/dash midrange speakers, and they spliced into the wires leading to the midbass speakers in the doors, so the...

    what's the subscription FSD rate for people with existing EAP?

    After trying out FSD, I'd pay to go back to EAP. FSD has lousy highway behavior and leaves an enormous following gap even on the most aggressive setting compared to AP/EAP. Basic AP will be closer to EAP than FSD is, just without lane changes. You can set FSD to "minimal lane changes" which I...

    Why am I seeing ads from other auto makers that encourage no monitoring of vehicle while driving?

    They should have had him watching the commercial he was in.

    Why am I seeing ads from other auto makers that encourage no monitoring of vehicle while driving?

    It's only hard to believe if one believed Tesla was the only company who could be first to do it.

    FSD now $99 a month

    The good news is that AP1 is still superior to the current cars' behavior on the highway where most of the value of ADAS exists. I'd retrofit AP1 in a heartbeat if it were possible to get back good following behavior, radar reassurance in poor visibility, and a radical reduction in nags.

    Lower Subscription Price Coming?

    Would be nice if they offered an EAP subscription. If I were buying a new or used car that didn't have it, I'd consider subscribing to EAP for $100/mo. FSD has zero value to me.

    Still don’t have FSD trial.

    Yes, I was finally upgraded yesterday morning. Just in time to miss both of my roadtrips.

    Still don’t have FSD trial.

    I've been on 2024.2.7 since 4/1. April Fools on me since I never got the trial and the new nag-laden version really blows. Had been holding onto 2023.44.1 for 4 months and wish I never upgraded.

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    Yes, it's a small percentage relative to the swarm of 3s and Ys, but that small percentage still amounts to YEARS' worth of cars that are ineligible. It's not the quantity so much as the length of time that the cars were built and sold with the promise of the feature.

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enable for one month trial this week

    My car has EAP and I have no interest in having the car drive itself on secondary streets so I have no interest in buying FSD. I'm just miffed that I was tricked into upgrading off the superior legacy software version earlier than I'd planned to get a free sample of what everyone seems to be...

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enable for one month trial this week

    The f'ers got me. Despite my 2019 having the "full self driving computer" it's not actually FSD capable. I read in another thread that Tesla meant to say that it's actually just for cars with the selfie camera. Nice trick to get me off the pre-nag-ridden 44.1 I'd been holding onto since...

    Great Latest Update

    I hadn't read that, but maybe that's why I still haven't received an email about the trial. Now it really makes me wish I'd stayed on the version before the extra nags showed up. The new naggy version is such trash. I cannot even take my hand off the wheel to adjust the wipers, or switch...

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enable for one month trial this week

    Still waiting for an email. Have been on 2024.2.7. Hopefully it comes before my road trip on Saturday.

    Ideal Aftermarket Audio System for Model S

    Even with a DSP and 130wpc, I didn't notice much improvement when I replaced the front midbass with either Infinity Kappa or Audiofrog GS60 drivers.

    Any 433Mhz TPMS works?

    They started in 2020 on the 3/Y, but the S/X didn't get BLE until the refresh in late 2021.
