a well know expression.. “Perfect is the enemy of the good” applies here. I agree that perfect FSD is likely not achievable any time soon.. the issue of insurance, laws etc is also a barrier.. I have done a few long drives ( 10 day round trips) and the current level of FSD, even just with...

no... I had a very good experience on a 5,000 mile round trio to Phoenix.. see Road Trip Analytics Meaford, ON to Goodyear AZ and back. 12 days on the road

I learned 2 things about Autopilot Software.. 1. In certain light.. Deep shadows under an overpass appear to be a barrier to the Tesla 2. Never.. Never engage auto steer if you are not correctly in a lane. The poor dear goes nuts trying to figure out what lane to follow.

For 20 years, I have met friends in Phoenix area to play golf I have always flown.. This year, I decided to drive my Tesla.. Did you know that to fly a person from Toronto to Phoenix it adds 1 tonne of CO2 per person to the atmosphere. The Tesla contributes 0.07 tonnes An ICE car contributes...

I talked with a first responder who told me he could rescue ( cut ) someone out of a crashed ICE car in 5 min.. but it would take 15 min or more ( having to look up cable routing) to cut someone out of a Tesla due to worries about high voltage wires running thru the car.. and.. says he.. The...

You are correct.. but lack of permission simply means black market deployment.. Not unlike the US feds still calling Marijuana an illegal drug. How well did that work for them?

The other cool thing about this is that for those who can afford a “pizza box” receiver for $200 then they can bypass national firewalls ( China, Russia, Iran, Korea) Filtering the Internet will be very much harder when it gets deployed .. every receiver has a direct high speed link to the...

If you are a one car family and you have a garage or house parking to charge it.. Go with a Tesla Destination Charger. I bought one from Tesla and hired an electrician for $95 to install it on a 60amp circuit .. There was capacity in my panel which I upgraded 2 years ago after a lightening...

well, at least it recognized stop signs.. Wonder if it recognizes speed limit signs? could not tell.. in my world the GPS and local speed signs do not agree.. also.. would add travel thru a school zone.. Usually that is a special case..

thanks.. I have lots to learn. I love that ! And.. lucky for me I am off the clock so have time to learn and plan and think it thru. it’s not likely a practical project but it will be fun. it took me 4 years, 15 years ago, to restore the original car so I am no stranger to long term...

My 1929 Model A Ford Roadster.. sentimental reasons.. certainly not performance or even safety.. just for fun.

In addition to my 2019 MS I have a 1929 Model A Ford Roadster. Fully restored 98% original. It is a summer time toy that is so much fun to drive. I get about 5,000 miles a year on it. But.. Eventually I will no longer be able to tour with it.. Range is only about 75 miles and soon enough...
