    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    If FSD doesn't react instantly when it's my turn at a 4 way, I just goose the accelerator a little and take my turn. Once you get it rolling through the stop sign it picks right up and drives. I actually prefer that it errs on the slow side since it is so easy for the driver to override. Seems...

    10.3.1 rolling out

    Just went for my first drive on 10.3.1. Took some backroads to a church parking lot (it actually drove me into the lot and stopped right in front of the entrance) and then back home on some more major roads. Didn't have any show stopping issues. A little janky on some of the turns. Like pulling...

    Any 99 Safety Scores receive FSD Beta yet?

    Sounds like me. Stuck on 99 after racking up 649 miles to bring it up from a 96 because of one bad day. I'm afraid to pull out of the garage until I get FSD out of fear of dropping to a 98 and having to wait probably at least 2 more weeks. Been driving my wife's minivan everywhere in the meantime.

    Safety Score

    While that may be the case, I did 44 miles and 42 of them were on interstate with AP engaged. In order for me to hit 9.6% aggressive cornering, I would have had to have been pulling >0.4 G's for 4 miles of that drive! The total distance of getting on and off the highway couldn't have been more...

    Safety Score

    I've been driving exclusively on AP on the highway and I've been docked for aggressive turning on 2 of my five trips. Was at 100% yesterday but now I'm down to 96% because of alleged 9.6% aggressive turning. Makes no sense. I'm driving on the interstate with AP on at 5 over the speed limit. No...

    Lucid Motors Says It’s Not A Tesla Killer, Wants To Coexist Alongside

    Most of that 'Tesla Killer' crap comes from all the Tesla short sellers who keep trying to convince everyone that Tesla is doomed so the stock will tank and they can make back all of the money they've already lost. Good luck with that!

    Phantom Braking

    I just got the latest update 2020.16.2.1. Took it out for a test run on all of the same roads where I had issues with stop signs. This time it was MUCH better. Also it seemed like Autopilot was better in general. One data point of course but places where it used to stutter and stop way too short...

    Phantom Braking

    I have started noticing phantom braking back for mine since the last update I received (2020.12.11.1) In addition the braking for stop signs is now having issues. Stopping WAY too early. Like as much as 2 car lengths. It is also kind of stabbing the brakes as it stops instead of stopping...

    Stop sign problem with TACC - stops before traffic is visible

    I've had a different kind of stop sign problem. For me, there are certain stop signs in my neighborhood where the car stops WAY too early. Like 1 1/2 car lengths before the line. It must be using map data because it is always the same ones. Also, it has a tendency to get all herky jerky...

    2019 IRS Form 8936

    Just got my refund. So about 3 1/2 weeks for me from time of acceptance.

    Is there a fix for the TACC/Autopilot surging?

    I have never had this problem and I use TACC 20 miles each way on my daily commute. All hiway. Is it possibly related to following distance? I generally have mine set to 3-5 and only drop it down to 1-2 when traffic is very stopping / crawling.

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    I had an issue with my M3's cellular connection and after doing a remote diagnostic, Tesla told me I had to bring it in because the computer needed to be replaced. This was Dec 2019. They kept the car for 2 days and when they were done I had HW version 3.0. So I guess I got lucky. FYI, I did not...

    2019 IRS Form 8936

    I used TaxAct. Was just getting ready to switch to H&R Block when they finally got their act together and started supporting the form. My efile was accepted on Feb 13. However, When I go to check the status it says they are still processing it. I have heard that filing for the EV rebate delays...

    Looks like a Delorean and a Lamborghini had a baby.

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    The place I notice this most is when I'm backing out of my driveway. It used to take just a little push to get it moving and then it would coast all the way out to the street. Now I need to keep applying a little accelerator to keep it moving. Not necessarily a bad thing but just a different...
