    2022 Model S loss of driving controls

    Same here, except instead of “steering assist reduced”, I have “cruise control disabled”. MX 2017 with HW3/MCU2 upgrades. Tesla service scheduled for July 18, 2022. I plan to report what Tesla discovers. Lt2010359 is yours fixed? How? Thanks!

    2020.24.6.4 !

    Suggestion: Allow +5 mph and when approaching a green light gently slow to the speed limit with the brake lights on. This should improve Autopilot’s reaction to amber lights.

    2020.24.5

    Suggestion: Run at +5 mph and when approaching a green light gently slow to the speed limit with the brake lights on.

    2020.12.11.5 firmware is released.

    That’s so exciting! Your notes show traffic light and stop sign control for a 2017 MCU1 FSD S75!!!! Sadly, not so for that firmware (2020.12.11.5) on my 2017 MCU1 FSD X100. Can someone explain why?

    2020.4.1 incoming

    Ping-ponging happens if I put too much torque on the steering-wheel. If I apply just enough torque to stop the nagging, the ping-ponging stops. As a test when it’s ping-ponging, stop applying torque altogether. The ping-ponging should stop immediately. Low tire pressure or non-factory tires...

    Tesla Update 2019.40.50.7

    That ping-ponging happens with my X if I put too much torque on the steering-wheel. If I apply just enough torque to stop the nagging, it stops ping-ponging. As a test when it’s ping-ponging, stop applying torque altogether. The ping-ponging should stop immediately. Low tire pressure or...

    Tesla Update 2019.40.50.7

    There have been no software releases for two weeks! Comments on this thread dried up a week ago. Surely some substantial FSD feature is imminent. You know, like stopping for stop signs. I can hardly wait. Just trying to find some likeminded sympathy. I don’t know why I am so excited. I’m...

    Software Update 2019.40.1.1

    Excellent lane change improvement when on surface roads using AP. Me: ensure it is safe to change lanes then momentarily press the indicator stalk to tell the car I want to change lanes and whether to the left or right. Indicator stalk has returned to its neutral position. Car: immediately...

    Software Update 2018.46.x

    Hey, where did everyone go? Since 2018.46 arrived, it looks like very few people are posting on tmc (teslmotorsclub.com)! Am I looking at the wrong threads or did most of the more chatty people on tmc get recruited into the early users program and have to stop posting on tmc because of the...

    I only got 25K miles out of my Continental Extreme Contact tires...

    35,000+ miles. My original Continental ContiSilent tires still have substantial legal tread life left at 35,000 miles. Mostly CHILL miles in a cool climate ... Canada. Replacing them with new tires on Nov 29 ... in case it snows. :) $1,640 CAD bottom line, installed, from tires23 in Mississauga.

    Software Update 2018.42.x

    How to get the most recent firmware: 1. Use AP a lot. 2. Keep torsion on the steering wheel constantly (when using AP). 3. Avoid getting the red hands like the plague. 4. When you get the red hands (because AP is befuddled), take steering control instantly. Explanation: Tesla wants to first...

    Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d

    True. Even people show up ... at 90 kph! :mad: When towing a 5' x 10' utility trailer it also periodically shows up as a truck or car. Occasionally the hand crank (for raising the front of the trailer when stopped) shows up as a little person! A person, evidently running, behind the Tesla at...

    Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d

    Re: Steeringwheel heat. Thanks @mongo and @croman for your help on that. Got it. 1. Touch the fan icon. 2. Touch the wavy lines tab on the far left of the screen. I had been looking for what the manual calls a "seat tab", not a wavy line heat tab. And I imagined the tab would be on the top or...

    Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d

    Help! I can't find steering heat and back seat heat. (MX AP2 on 39.6) I did what the manual said. The tab they talk about seems to be missing. I have the sub-zero winter package option installed on the car. It worked on V8.1 Thanks.

    Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d

    Really enjoying 39.6 1. So much nicer not having to disengage AP in order to change lanes on local roads. 2. So nice to know AP is also watching the blind spot ... actually 360 degrees. 3. Slowing for stopped cars at traffic lights is far better. My back-seat driver doesn't have to smack me on...
