That and one-pedal driving have become things I can't live without. I now dread having to drive ICE rental cars on my vacations. Yes I could rent Teslas from Turo but they're harder to find and a lot more expensive.

Tough first-world problem to have. Rivian is the one I would keep. Both will have problems, but Ford hasn't had a great 2022 in terms of recalls. The Rivian also has the advantage of a more striking exterior whereas the Ford looks like just a refreshed version of its ICE predecessor with very...

That's what you would think based on the collective evidence so far, but I venture to offer a different perspective on the future "trend". Some of the reasons that contribute to FSDb's unpredictable behaviors is the fact that it's trying to perform in the realm of human drivers, which by...

From your article: And sometimes don't even learn about crashes ever.. LOL.

There's more. Faster acceleration means you're smashing a few more bugs into windshield decoration whereas slower speed simply bounces them off. Conservation of momentum suggests your car is slowing down by 0.000000001 mph with each hit. But that may be negligible. 😁

If there was ever a hyperbole... I see what you're trying to do there, qualifying your hyperbole with "in the city" to make it a bit more legitimate - you're implying "at low speed". But the funny thing is that a DRUNK driver wouldn't give a f* about speed limit, or where he is. Yes, you'll be...

You lost me at "Long Island". I feel sorry for anyone who has to "follow" your stories in daily conversation. They probably need brain surgery to straighten out those interlocking neural paths trying to do what you ask. I mean, c'mon, you could've left all that geo-tracking out and your story...

Totally agree. A visual, tangible confirmation that FSD is improving is just as important as the invisible parts, i.e. algorithms, code, and actual behavior. It's just the psychology of an average consumer. If you don't feel that way, then you're "above average", so pat yourself on the back...

Wow, 6K mile trip to SD, impressive. You must have been in the low 230s before the trip. That's crazy considering NC winter gets pretty cold.

No, I don't. But thanks for the info, I'll look up the club here. BTW, one way to improve your summer numbers is to tint your windows AND get good sunshades for windshield/roof, if you haven't already. If you don't mind the stiff suspension, you can also increase your tire pressure. I keep mine...

I reset it for you.

From my testing the last week or so, FSD 10.12 (2022.12.3.20) seems to have gone backward in some situations. Overall it's still very solid, and I haven't seen any PB events of greater than 5 mph slow down, highway or local. On a state highway, a 2-mi stretch has 3 intersections with...

I did end up canceling my service appointment when the filter you recommended came that morning. While my past mobile service appt was very pleasant, I didn't want to end up having to pay $140 if the technician didn't feel charitable that day. The work to replace the filters is actually very...

Your situation is literally identical to mine a year ago. My delivery was 5/31/21, the beginning of summer. Many of my trips that involve I-75 would get me 300 wh/mi or above, and pure local trips would be around 260. The heat is the big killer of battery power, but rain as well. Your efficiency...

Oh, you're local! Cool. Anyway, you can tell the gearbox oil filters from the wreck photos? I don't even know what they look like. Neither gearbox nor oil should be related to Teslas I thought. Ha.
