    My Car Beeped at Me When Another Car Had Turn Signal On

    It's warning you to speed up and not let that punk cut you off :)

    HW3

    Agreed. Dancing cars is bad PR, and AFAIK, smoothing out the image of the dancing cars shouldn't be a difficult proposition. Maybe the executive shake-up was a good thing if they weren't able to recognize an easy win like fixing the dancing cars.

    Another tragic fatality with a semi in Florida. This time a Model 3

    Absolutely. And, for the vast majority of the public, the issue isn't Tesla, but why does Europe require trucks to have side skirts, but the USA doesn't. In other words that is the issue that the media should emphasize.

    Tesla Software 2019.16.3

    Sorry if I missed it, but did you put in a complaint/suggestion directly to Tesla? IMO there should be an option to permanently turn off the feature.

    Model 3 - Android Auto

    And I really like Android auto, but you can have Android auto play through your phone. About the best excuse I've come up with for Tesla not having third-party access is security. I would think they'd be able sandbox it, but a security breach would really be devastating.

    Autonomy Investor Day - April 22 at 2pm ET

    Isn't he and others bitter because they bought in anticipation of self-driving arriving soon? I apply the fool me once aphorism to any early adopter for any product. I cut someone slack if they're in their early twenties although most of us learned the lesson in our teens.

    How will Tesla demo FSD?

    Cruz is driving around San Francisco every single day and it's not a one-off highly produced event. When will it be ready? I don't know but I doubt they'll sell the full package to the general public anytime soon; however, Uber and Waymo should be concerned. Personally I think remote operators...

    Sentry Mode catches door dinger and saves me $1000.

    Wouldn't the amount of damage depend on how heavy the SUV door was and how much force and velocity the SUV driver used to open the door? I think many more manufactures are using very thin body panels to cut weight and increase MPG.

    Should We Be Concerned?

    I've always recommended people rent a car for a day or a weekend to really get a good feel for it. A 10 or 15 minutes test drive with a salesman breathing down your neck is not conducive to making a good decision. It still might be the way to go even with Tesla if the 7 days return is a pain in...

    Slow “wake up” time on 48.12.1?

    Your phone could also be contributing factor: You have a really old version of Android plus all of Samsung's crapware. You hear a very similar complaint with many different devices when people try to connect their phones.

    What Tesla autopilot sees at night

    X Same here. It doesn't look like traffic lights are being observed (even in shadow mode). Maybe it's too much for the system and they're doing it in AP 3?

    Will Navigate on Auto Pilot be safer than humans?

    I think you make a good point, but you also have to take into account many non fatal accidents are never reported. That's what the experts say and if you want to confirm it for yourself ask friends and relatives if they've ever been in an accident that they didn't report. You might have to press...

    Am I the only one that loves not having a Key Fob?

    Let me guess you all have iPhones. I have a gen 3 August as well and it's problematic at best with Android. As of today the August Android app has 3540 ratings and 790 one star reviews for a 3.5 overall rating. The iPhone August app review was 4.8 with 37k reviews. I'm a long-time Android fan...

    Is Autopilot as awesome for you as it is for me?

    I wonder if that's the car imitating human drivers. If I'm in the right lane then merging cars should speed up and pass me or slow down and stay behind me but don't drive right beside me as if the lane doesn't end. Get up to speed and pass me and don't wait till the last second then decide you...
