It stopped right after the video, after I turned climate on and then back off again. Also it's in the 30s where I'm at right now.

I own an MY and am currently out of state, renting a 2022 MS off turo. After supercharging tonight to 70%, when I arrived at where I'm staying, I noticed a super weird crackling noise coming from inside the frunk. https://streamable.com/cw1xoy It almost sounds like it could be electrical. But...

I have a similar train of thought. I'm very impressed by what Tesla has with vision only. It's a low resolution approximation of what you'd get with LIDAR, but it comes with the added benefits of not having to do sensor fusion, and it comes out of embarrassingly cheap consumer hardware. It's not...

I draw the opposite conclusion. Imagine how much confidence that Waymo - an extremely cautious and conservative company (perhaps too much so) - must have to let their cars go out and about with real passengers and without a backup driver. Now look at Tesla. They won't even let you be a _backup...

Agreed, which is why it took until self driving cars didn't need special infrastructure to operate for them to become a thing. The fact that they run on normal roads is exactly what will drive their adoption. They just wouldn't work any other way.

Except they didn't say "we think it has ..." they said "it does have ...". And they didn't say "contingent on validation" they said "pending validation". Very clearly negating your theory.

Tesla has not delivered even 1X of what they promised with FSD. Even among the few who have the feature, it provides _negative_ value since it doesn't make the task of driving easier. Meanwhile Waymo has operational robo-taxies, and many other companies are racking up thousands and thousands of...

People's understanding about things are shaped bit by bit from all of the information they may come across. Lies spread and gain traction the more frequently that they are repeated. In the case of Teslas, lies from an _owner_ carry more weight. Why do you want to be part of the problem?

This statement is false and dangerous. No Tesla vehicles ship with any L4 features today, and no filings with the government have been made from Tesla to indicate that they are even actively developing any > L2 features. L4 has a strict definition and NOA does not meet it. Your post is...

I saw a Silicon Valley Tesla Club video where the car avoided a tree that was randomly in the middle of a road, and also a Dirty Tesla video where it finally avoided a Road Closed sign. In both cases the response was super jerky and it barely made it... but the car clearly did react to...

So there are three promises: 1. Elon's different verbal promises 2. purchase page circa 2017 After what time has passed would you consider an FSD class action lawsuit? 3. purchase page today (doesn't seem to have much specificity, just "autosteer on city streets") For 1, Elon clearly promises...

The way I take your comment to mean is that if we can build a computer that behaves like a brain, it could be harnessed to solve the same problems humans can, except it will not ever make mistakes and be infinitely faster in decision making. This is a very common, likely false, line of...

Yeah. L4 systems will improve, but the ones that become commercially viable in the short term, IMO, rely on things that do not apply to consumer vehicles: namely, remote assistance, and purpose built hardware. I think FSD could be a good L3 system one day. The only concern I have is the...

I'm personally not as sure of this. I feel like there are too many places where the car can get stuck, and most of the places that a car can get stuck aren't known or trainable for. Getting stuck (either locally stuck, or in a navigation loop stuck) as a robo-taxi passenger isn't acceptable. I...

What am I wrong about? That Tesla's cannot become driverless without some human somewhere capable of giving it instructions of some kind when it encounters an unexpected scenario? Or that high definition maps are not that difficult to produce and maintain, are worth the effort, and are...
