You could always just press the icon the one time and wait. 🤷‍♂️

I'm considerably closer to your age than you might expect, and also occasionally need glasses. So this wasn't really a bell curve situation. And as I noted it wasn't a font _size_ issue but rather the shape of the lettering. It's possible that the kerning also changed, though at this point I...

I made absolutely NO such assumption. You could give HW3 all the compute in the world and it wouldn't drive itself.

The wait times for these cars has plummeted and you'd basically wait a couple weeks. But I think you're seeing a much more important side of the Tesla ownership experience- Customer service. Their service centers are extremely slow, they have extremely high staff turn over rates, and the quality...

Nope. You think FSD's problem is just a matter of training?? The fact they need both TRIPs to handle the current workload and it's still not fast enough, still not running enough networks, still can't drive unaided suggests otherwise. 🤣

To be clear, Elon promised Level 5 with existing hardware. That challenge is well beyond driver assistance and was never, ever, going to happen. Ever. Nobody on this forum wants Tesla to fail at this, and certainly none of us that bought the features want any such thing. The constant need to...

Dude. It's my job to know these things, you're supremely far off base. You realized that the TRIP chips are custom ASICs with a bunch of prepackaged ARM IP, right? Nothing to do with training, everything to do with running the various networks necessary. The per dollar metric is going in the...

It's absolutely nowhere near solved. It's as solved as it was in 2016 when we were first told the entirety of self driving was "solved". There hasn't really been an explosion in compute. In fact, the growth in what we would now measure in per-core compute power has declined significantly, and...

From this thread's 62 pages you can see my opinion of NoA- It's useless and I hated it. I think Tesla's basic AP could be okay if it didn't instantly disable when you turn the blinker on for a lane change, and obviously if it didn't phantom brake where I drive. I've used basic AP in California...

Rivian. Thankfully Driver+ is usable and they aren't trying to do anything nonsensical like FSD. That's actually the crux of the problem. If this was a solved problem in 2016, why are we still having this conversation? This thread is from a 2018 release and we're still seeing posts of NoAP...

I have really disheartening news for you. AP2+ simply blindly and boldly does charges into situations. Which is why there's lots of videos of it hitting median barriers, bridge abutments, curbs, careening toward construction signs, hitting debris, bumping other cars when lane change aborts, etc...

This is no joke, and I think if more people experienced AP1 systems on the highway, they'd be outraged by the performance of AP2+. A system from 2015 is vastly more consistent and predictable. Rivian R1T. Their service center is about 15-20 minutes closer to me without traffic. With traffic...

You'll likely see none of me around here anymore, TBH. I traded my Tesla last week. The last tests I did were exactly the same behavior it has had in exactly the same places driving down I-93 from NH into Boston, MA. Lane change decisions are extremely poor, TACC is jerky and has several...

Floor mats are sold.

This thread is a blast from the past, and I guess I can sum up the entire ownership experience by referring back to my last post. Tesla absolutely continued this kind of service, their customer support is worse now than it was back in 2018, the service center experience is exactly like what the...
