I haven’t done a software update for a few months as autopilot seemed to getting worse with each update. Anyway I did an update today and the only real difference I notice is the visualisations are taking up about half the screen now. The useful part of the screen with the maps is now reduced...

This would be a big blow for Tesla owners. I stretched my budget to buy a Tesla based on the exclusive use of the supercharger network. I fail to see how this would help Tesla to sell more cars. Quite the opposite imo. This would be a very ‘Elon’ gaff to make

Simple solution….never use recirculation mode! After a few months into ownership I noticed a musky smell coming through. I’d accidentally hit the recirc mode a couple of days earlier. Turned it off and never had a problem since I’ve never used recirc in any of my cars and never had a problem...

I suspect as this is a safety aspect that you deal with in your job, you have a much more critical eye than the average end user. Being an average Joe, yes I think the screen looks nice and it makes sense that the UI is like a smart phone. I’ve not personally had any issue with it and can...

I get what you’re saying. From a safety point of view I’m guessing we don’t have enough data yet to determine whether the touch screen in Tesla’s are causing more accidents. Real world results can be contrary to what might seem obvious (like the cycle helmet debate). Sure, it takes a little...

I guess not everyone is blessed with common sense ;)

for the seat heating icon use your index and middle fingers to anchor at the bottom of the screen and then use thumb to hit the screen icon I tend to anchor fingers on left of screen and use my thumb to navigate most of the other functions and that seems to work well for me. Stabbing the...

just anchor your thumb or other fingers on the side of the screen and use a free digit to press the screen. If you still can’t hit the right spot you probably shouldn’t be driving ;)

Even Elon has acknowledged there’s a problem by suggesting that phantom breaking ‘should be’ resolved with fsd rollout

There’s a big difference between a safe speed adjustment and an inappropriate and dangerous emergency braking event. I can only assume you’ve never experienced this to be able to say that it may be operating as Tesla intended

surely it can’t be that simple. Mind you they say the smartest people often lack common sense

One thing I have noticed in the cold, if I don’t preheat at all the battery can still have limited regen after an hour of driving. So the battery is stuck in a less efficient state. Personally, I just preheat for 5mins as this is enough to bring the cabin temp up to a comfortable level and...

life must be good if you can afford to make those kind of donations ;)

if it’s an adventure you’re after you’ll certainly get the nervous, white knuckle experience you’re after ;) In terms of an investment, I can’t see fsd carrying much premium on resale value on current hardware. Personally, I would only see it as worthwhile if the software wasn’t locked to the...

I might have been tempted if I thought level 4/5 was achievable with current hardware, but the cameras give up at the first sight of rain
