    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    It's not. I have two cars with USS and Radar and they don't have FSD either. It's just Tesla's ineptitude and Elon's lies that are the reason you don't have it now. Plenty of cars with your configuration do have FSD running. As the sycophants will tell you, it's both a good thing you don't have...

    I hope they are. I'd much rather the money I can get from suing again than FSD for a month.

    The quest for wider wheels and tires, 295, 305 and beyond...

    I'd simplify it to this. If you are repeatedly losing AutoX's by a tenth of a second, then get wider tires. If you are hoping they'll gain you a half second, you need to work on the driver.

    And I did not on either of my cars, despite Elon saying I would. Yet another Tesla lie about FSD after 7 years of lies. That's what I actually care about. I guess it takes the sting away to know that people agree that I would find it unimpressive though.

    That's OK because this is about collecting more data now that they are not compute constrained, right? Not about sales or share price. Same reason they are lowering car prices too. More data.

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    I'm actually here because I don't yet have the "impressively quick fix for the minor technical snag" and I'm wondering what the current rationale for that is from those who have have made arguments for the delay before. It's a good thing you're not a Tesla lawyer however, nothing like the...

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    I agree like I've been saying for weeks. To be clear though: short term cash flow. Not "profits". If FSD is about to be real and amazing and worth $100k like Elon always said, then a fire sale doesn't look to be a smart long term profit move. It looks like a company that needs cash in Q2 2024...

    The quest for wider wheels and tires, 295, 305 and beyond...

    Remember - wider tires do not put more tread on the ground. Only lower pressure does that. Wider tires change the contact patch shape. But as in all things tires, it's complicated.

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    So, been three weeks and the "minor technical snag" is still not resolved and a huge set of cars don't have FSD. Wonder how long before it's not amazing how quick Tesla is? Price cuts on FSD for sure tell us how Tesla is very sure of themselves and how valuable FSD is and that it just needs...

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    Not to knock anyone, but that driver has run multiple other national tours and has never placed well when there is strong competition. In 2023 in Vegas they ran 1s slower than AS and 3.5 seconds off at Lincoln. In Vegas the top AS car was an Elise, so that was not even a max competitive AS...

    Glad we're having such a useful discussion that we can cut things up and take them out of context and claim victory via snark. Always the sign of someone confident that their position is well founded.

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    Always ironic to be called a "hater" when I've owned five Teslas, two currently, been an owner since 2016, and am currently highly involved with racing Teslas and increasing their acceptance in the performance car world. Especially ironic to be called that by someone that missed the first 5...

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    How is this relevant to the discussion? As long as you're the perceived leader, it doesn't matter if you lie, and everything you do is amazing? Tesla is just the noisiest and most public. But comparing Waymo and Tesla is hilarious- Tesla is solidly L2 with a human responsible for everything...

    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    Who and what are you even discussing? What "wise and painful adjustment"? I'm the one here saying that FSD is an L2 toy. So yeah, it's personal responsibility. But that also means I am unwilling to say that "Tesla is doing amazing with safety critical software, how great are they!?" - because...

    How to sue Tesla over historical claims

    If you have it in writing that they will charge you $1K + tax, then you can calculate the tax yourself. When you requested it, did you give them a reason you believe it should be free? Make sure you send a request to resolutions@tesla,com like your purchase agreement says to, another place you...
