I ended up turning FSD beta off for highway driving. My autopilot driving over the last few days without it on has been fine, which makes me believe it's not the torque sensor...perhaps a tolerance stack-up problem with FSD beta. Good idea on the reset. I may give that a shot and see if it...

I've been in the beta program for months now, and this week, I've gotten two strikes during highway driving. I can't get rid of the blue flashing warnings, which lead to red warnings without putting enough torque on the wheel to pop it out of autopilot. I was putting the entire weight of my...

Bebop, named after the ship in Cowboy Bebop.

I noticed a similar improvement under similar circumstances with HW3. There are also some merges and lane splits that HW3 seems to do better with.

I haven't seen what you're describing after my HW3 update.

Congrats! It freaked me out a bit the first time I saw a cone go by...what was that? Oh, just a cone....

Watertown is indeed a thing. I got my HW3 retrofit done yesterday there. They were extremely pleasant. Hooked me up with a loaner and had two techs work on my car (had a couple minor other things that needed doing: squeaky wiper arm + the things Tesla said the car needed: hood alignment...

Did you take a call from your car? I've noticed that that is when mine started to turn off.

Find the electric car chargers at your airport and plug in. Looks like Pittsburg has 5 in long-term parking.

Pie...our frunk is where pies go for travel to family holidays/events.

Yup, this. My car has become the defacto vehicle for long road trips. I've got over 18k miles on it in a year. I charge to 100% whenever I need to to support trips.

I had my first instance of nighttime phantom braking last night on my way home from work. Nothing that I could see that would elicit it. I was on the highway, and it was close to full dark. Headlights were on.

It's you...hold the steering wheel differently so that you're using the weight of your arm to apply force to the steering wheel. My husband gets constant nags; I never get any. He holds the steering wheel like he's holding a baby bird. I hold it at 4 o'clock and allow the weight of my arm to...

Or you could just buy a normal breaker bar, without the plastic handles that reduce the lever arm. This thing is pretty short for a breaker bar, which makes it not very effective in a situation where you actually need a breaker bar, and not just a tire iron.
