While driving to Santa Barbara today in heavy rain, I discovered that my rain sensing wipers no longer work. They are strictly manual wipers now. I put in a service request to Tesla Santa Barbara and they replied that Version 2023.27.7 on my 2019 Model S and 2018 Model 3 LR has a bug that broke...

Tried the Tesla OEM blades, the Bosch night vision blades, and now the Trico Silicon blades. All fit fine. So far, the Trico are the only ones that don't skip, chatter, and leave rubber stripes on the windshield. Will let you know in a few months if the silicone blades continue to work well.

I'm sorry to report that FSD Autopilot does not learn anything. It can't, partly because it seldom knows that it has done something wrong. It is not able to even detect many nearby dangers at all. The "neural net" is only in your car. It doesn't connect to other cars or road systems. My 2018...

I'm sending a quick report on my 2019 Model S Autopilot's performance, software version 2022.12.3.20, after opting out of FSD Beta both by switching it off in my Settings and sending Tesla an email message. I drove about eighty miles today in moderate traffic on U.S. 101 on the Central Coast of...

Hi Friends. Just a quick update about a reply I received from Tesla Service about Autopilot reliability. I made a Service request on July 10,2022 asking for a check of FSD Beta and the rest of Autopilot on my 2019 Model S Dual Motor Long Range equipped with the Full Self Driving Package because...

Dear EVRider-FL, My 2019 Model S has the Full Self-Drive Beta installed and it is fully functional. If I behave, Tesla will not cancel my BETA participation?? Another interesting observation from a trip taken yesterday. I noticed that setting the Steering Feel to the Sport setting upsets Auto...

The power operated front seat headrests on my 2019 Model S are working again thanks to update 2022.4.5.21 that installed during the first week of May 2022. Thank You Tesla! Auto Pilot is not working any better or is safer. I've adopted the name Auto Crash as part of my vocabulary. On the...

Thank You for sharing the Good News!

Thank You! After reading your post, I'm giving serious thought to opting-out of FSD Beta. I'm too old for all the drama.

I'm making some completely subjective self-evaluation-based comments. Yesterday I drove our 2018 Model 3 Dual Motor to Lompoc on about 25 miles of mixed lane highway. Our Model 3 does not have the Full Self Drive Beta software but it is updated to 2021.44.30.2. Our 2019 Model S has...

I scheduled an at-home service with Santa Barbara Tesla for the headrest problem. They were genuinely nice and explained that we must wait for a software update to tix the problem. As of Thursday, they didn't have a time estimate for the fix. My 2019 Model S is only up to 2021.44.30.5 right...

So sorry if I put my comments in the wrong place or Thread. My sincere apologies! I'll try to do better.

Forgot to say that my 2019 Model S does not have an interior camera installed anywhere I have been able to locate. Our 2018 Model 3 Dual Motor has one located just above the rear-view mirror. I don't know if it works.

Yesterday, January 10,2022, my 2019 Model S, running the Full Self Driving Beta software with installed update 2021.44.30.5, departed at 9:15AM, with me, for the drive from Solvang to Fillmore California via Highway 101 and Highway 126. Traffic was light, the weather was beautiful, windshield...
