Just rode a solar electric bus in Netherlands!

I have an email from Tesla from a week ago saying my "trial" would end yesterday. It continues to function today.

Same. Used it long enough to determine that it still doesn't slow down from 65 to 25 mph without disengagement. Also, it doesn't slow down for icy roads.

100% Pulling out of a parking space front facing is safer than backing out, especially when you don't have cross traffic alert (=TESLA). That said, people will almost always pull into your spot if you are screwing around trying to back in. At least, where I am.

I very much had slowdowns prior to the speed limit sign last fall. Not yet this year.

Yeah, no, no offset enabled. I prefer to adjust that using the thumbwheel because I use different amounts in different contexts. The more I think of it, it's as though it doesn't apply any brakes while FSDS is enabled, neither mechanical nor regen. It just seems to coast. Next time I'll check...

It visualized a wild turkey crossing the road (we were going 65) in front of us the other day. Don't know if it would have stopped or swerved in time because we hit the brakes, but it was interesting to see it visualize.

Haven't seen a lot of this reported although maybe a few mentions, so I am bringing it up to see if this is widespread. I have found that with both 12.3.3 and 12.3.4 FSDS the car is terrible at slowing down for new speed zones, as well as curves. This is nothing close to what I experienced with...

I think we'll all go down with the ship: captain, crew, and passengers.

There is a part of me that thinks that humanity deserves the extinction it seems to be attempting on itself.

Totally agree that TFG has not changed his spots. Someone probably explained that horrendous losses by a Ukraine unsupported by the US unfolding on the news over the next 6 months would lose him (foremost) and the Republican party a significant number of votes. So he is giving it a tepid thumbs...

It would be so nice of Tesla to give us an option to precondition our batteries on the way to a non-SC. Some of us have no choice but to charge at those when travelling.

It's saying there are (at least) two wings of the party that have some major points of disagreement. Johnson, apparently, came to the realization that he falls in with the more traditional (Reagan) wing, and has calculated he has the support from enough democrats (for now) to survive this...

We absolutely cannot use FSD on icy roads with sharp curves, which is most of our daily driving in the winter. It's pointless because the car takes those curves too fast even when it's dry. And potholes. And, for us, the maps FSD uses are horribly wrong where we live so it makes lots of...

You make some good points. That said, the impact of cattle on the environment at the levels we currently enjoy, cannot be denied. Somewhere there's a sweet spot between lower demand, reduced intensity, and balancing diet better than many of us do.
