    Tesla FSD Beta Release 10.5 2021.36.8.7

    Don't remember. I was on the freeway, so it didn't matter. I was just worried about the calibration.

    Tesla FSD Beta Release 10.5 2021.36.8.7

    I got onto the freeway immediately after hitting the calibrate button and it finished after only about 9 miles.

    Tesla FSD Beta Release 10.5 2021.36.8.7

    I recalibrated after about a week on 10.4 and didn't notice any change at all. That was the first recalibraton since I got the car in 2019.

    Tesla FSD Beta Release 10.5 2021.36.8.7

    I drove with 10.5 today. I can't really see much improvement yet. A couple of left turns were made with more confidence. Lots of the phantom braking. During one protected left turn, it tried to side-swipe someone waiting in the lane to the right of me. I had to be quick to avert a side...

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    I don't really understand the need for more superchargers in the middle of large cities. IMHO, superchargers are for Travelers, and should be placed outside of major cities. I also believe that, long term, there should be a couple of Superchargers at each Interstate Highway rest stop. There...

    Customer Service Rant - (Sorry...)

    I have had zero reasons to take my Model 3 in for service. But I will say that all these stories of deteriorating customer service are making me want to cancel my Model Y order and wait for improvement.

    Blog Cadillac Introduces Luxury Electric SUV

    I remember the concept/dream cars of the 1950s and 1960s. Remember the jet-powered Chrysler? I hope this is different.

    The owner base (beta testers) must have found something significant.

    Breaking: First-Ever Tesla Model 3 Responding To Traffic Lights

    After a couple of hundred miles with 12.1, I noticed a significant reduction (almost elimination) of the ping-ponging effect. I'm planning a 400 mile round trip today using highways, city streets and a short stretch on dirt roads...that should give this download a good workout.

    Breaking: First-Ever Tesla Model 3 Responding To Traffic Lights

    I just tried this with our Model 3 HW3, software 2020.12.1 without any success. Did notice several improvements in other areas.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Perhaps an "over reacting" Moderator is the one who is hurting the owners and members. I know that in today's society, nobody is responsible for their actions. Oh well.

    Tesla To Temporarily Suspend Production At Fremont On March 23

    ICE car manufacturers have thousands of cars built and waiting for buyers...TesLa has thousands of buyers waiting for cars to be built. BIG DIFFERENCE.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I was stung very badly by the Savings and Loan Crisis in Maryland in 1985. I had many thousands of dollars in the S&L when the Government shut them down. It was almost 2 years before I got access to that money, less interest. I didn't pay attention to all the people taking their money out of...
