Based on what I have seen on this forum the last 18 months, it seems to depend on your delivery center. I personally have taken delivery of two model 3s and a model Y and all of them I have thoroughly inspected inside and out. Nobody at tesla prevented me from doing so. I have also written...

I also got into the beta with the holiday update. Can’t say I am impressed with it. My local area is super simple - almost all roads are divided up into squares of some size resulting in almost every turn being a 90 degree, predictable turn. So far I have only seen the car successfully turn...

Just to continue reporting on going from radar to vision via FSD beta (all of this is TACC only, not autosteer or FSD beta engaged): at this point I haven't had any real trouble with phantom braking. Almost all of my testing so far has been at night / day + heavy rain. At night I am on two lane...

FWIW, the more I drive on the new firmware the more I like it. For sure I am in a very small minority of “switchers” who didn’t like it at all initially but have since changed their mind.. still for the most part I am really digging most of the changes and I don’t think I would go back now even...

I routinely end up on roads with questionable surfaces. Holes, rocks, debris, etc. there is definite potential for a flat tire and I would rather know before the tire is too flat to drive so I can park the car in a preferred location to deal with the situation. As such in those areas I usually...

I ran prob 300 miles across TACC / FSD beta this weekend with some unexpected complications. It seems as though some FSD beta items spill over into TACC even though one would expect they would not. ie, TACC stopping for lights and stop signs even though that item is switched off in preferences...

Earlier when I was driving I instinctively thought I’d check to see how many miles I’d driven since leaving the house and what my consumption is, so I move to swipe out the trip card before remembering it is gone. ☹️ /foghorn Also - in the pouring rain I thought I’d prove how easy it was to...

I got access to the FSD beta a few hours ago. I will test the adaptive cruise but it seems the real issues show up with sun and shadows. Given the persistent rain and fog we’ve been getting lately it might take a week or two for the sun to return to do any real tests. However - this will be a...

Just to correct myself a few more times: I still think it'd be nice to have additional items to add to teh bar that would not only toggle things like wipers and defrosters but now after looking at it more, those items aren't that difficult to get to. Tap the car menu for immediate access to...

Anyone know how to take a dashcam clip now? Used to be a button along the top of the nav but with that gone I dunno how to take a clip..

This is incorrect now that I look at it again this morning. The playlist is still there, it’s just in a “tab” I didn’t see last night.

/nod I’ve always shrugged off the 3d imaging of the car and environment on the left side. But I don’t see any purpose for it while driving outside of FSD and it is a large waste of space at that point. My 8 year old Ford allows for “display preferences” so you can put the data on the screen...

I did try it though late last night there wasn’t much traffic. It works… that feature at least is a welcome change.

My car is updated. I'm going to have to give this update a thumbs down. That's given: 1. I really liked last year's UX update. 2. I was really looking forward to this update. 3. I felt the "firmware holdouts" from last year were being extremely picky. My thoughts after about an hour: 1. I...

I was thinking about doing the same thing with my Y SR but the problems with vision only right now and tesla delivering cars with a loud “humming” pump put me off. It’s a crazy time, definitely normally a no brainer given the bizarro car market but all but one of the demo vehicles at my local...
