Has anyone else experienced weird speed changes while on FSD on an interstate? Today on I-75 where speed limit is 70 MPH, if the car camera picked up a “40 MPH MINIMUM SPEED” sign, the set speed would change to 40 MPH, if no traffic was around me. If other cars are nearby, it was display the...

Adding traffic light symbols to the nav

Overcome your worries and go for it! We are in the southeast US, and drive a Model 3 long range. Around town, short and long road trips. Supercharging is hassle free on the longer trips. Nice to get into the car with cabin preconditioned. One pedal driving is amazing. Changed tires at 31;000...

Put your destination into the car’s nav system and go. It will figure out the route and charging. No problem!

Autopilot, not FSD or FSD beta is what I’m answering to here. Yes, it much more sensitive now, it doesn’t allow me to scratch my nose without giving a warning now. I know Tesla was responding to government regulators, but this went too far to the safer side.

How about either installing another charger or relocating the existing charger to a non-desirable parking location, further out from the entrance?

SUPERCHARGER!

There is a guy that regularly takes his Plaid to the dragstrip, on YouTube look for “The Tesla Plaid Channel”. The car doesn’t appear to have any issues and still is about as quick as ever. YouTube

The F-16 is 9g capable only when the wings are clean, no drop tanks or weapons. Otherwise it’s capable of around 6-7 g’s depending on the configuration. Something to consider, their physical limitations for pilots may not matter.

I suggest an annual inspection of the electrical wires and circuits by a licensed electrician to calm any concerns.

While we were down in south Louisiana and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast area, we never got the full charge rate at any SuperCharger. I attribute that to the temps over 100F and the charging cable baking in the sun. The car was under 20% battery, preconditioned and all we could pull was 140...

I was in Gonzales this past weekend and the SuperCharger site is still the same - roped off and it appears it’s missing the main power transformer. In another development, Tanger Outlet mall has eight DC chargers (CCS) scattered throughout their parking lot, although none are powered up yet...

If range is your primary deciding factor about buying a Y, just view the many YouTube’s that do real world 70 mph range testing and see if that meets your needs.

I wonder why they don’t use a hybrid style propulsion, the existing Rotax engine/ jet drive while in open waters for good range, then switch to a silent electric drive when in enemy waters .
