    Software update 2018.26 3bbd9fd

    I'm sure this is a benefit, but it's very easy to use version numbers (lay down a tag in github, for example). I suspect it has more to do with obfuscating the development process - when version numbers are used, lots of forums like this one descend into numerology (how many versions since the...

    Bluetooth Echoing

    Ditto. Garbled or echoing of my voice when I use my iphoneX. If I do a reset, it gets better for a while. I thought I was the only one. Having to use a headset in my $120k car is enormously annoying, even embarrassing.

    Model X Crash on US-101 (Mountain View, CA)

    I always take over control before that particular divide - with 10.4's penchant for driving in the middle of wide lanes, it is entirely possible it got confused here.

    How Happy Are You With Your Tesla?

    The Model S is a great car - comfortable-ish, peppy, and I am very much in tune with its minimalist design. It's a good mobile meeting room. Personally, I think driving it is pretty boring, though. I can understand the excitement if you came from a BMW sedan, or a Volvo, etc, but it's just...

    Seriously. Where’s our annual update

    Sorry, what? If a millenial pays for a hamburger, and demands a hamburger, are they being "self-entitled"? A $130,000 hamburger, at that. Tesla isn't doing you a favor, it's fullfilling a sale. Poorly. (not that I'm a millenial. i wish)

    I need to vent - this car is going from bad to worse

    Because Civics are cars, and drivers expect to be able to park over curbs if they want to. To make the "don't park over curbs" restriction more stark - imagine if Tesla had a bug where the AC switched to heat when temp went over 105F (actually not hard to imagine, is it?) - is the proper...

    Um, yes they do. My car still doesn't do what I paid for.

    I need to vent - this car is going from bad to worse

    I'll address your last point first: the MS is a long-assed car, and if I don't overhang a foot or so, it's butt sticks out inviting swipes. I park in the same spot every day, and know the clearance. The car *did* go into jack mode all by itself, and if you look at the pictures, it just *thought*...

    I need to vent - this car is going from bad to worse

    So, a few responses, rolled into one post: Forums tend to surface problems, not highlights, and my post is an example of that. For example, TACC works great (except for the brake checks, and that may only happen when AP is engaged, I don't have enough sample data to know), and it actually has...

    I need to vent - this car is going from bad to worse

    I should clarify (and rereading my title, I realize it was a bit incendiary) that I do like my Tesla. It's the best electric car you can buy, and I chose to buy electric. If I got a do-over, I wouldn't make the same decision, but I'm not entirely unhappy with it. To be frank, however, it'll...

    I need to vent - this car is going from bad to worse

    You would think, but then it wouldn't be a bug.

    I need to vent - this car is going from bad to worse

    I'm on 17.40. It did get a bit better, especially the lane changes. All the problems I listed happened post .40, fwiw.

    I need to vent - this car is going from bad to worse

    This is exactly how I drive. I take over many times during my commute (and consider it normal to do so), for everything from lane drift corrections to moving aside for lane-splitting motorcycles. If I didn't drive this way, you'd be reading "Tesla Drives Itself Into Roadside Barrier" and "Tesla...

    I need to vent - this car is going from bad to worse

    No, of course my other EVs didn't drive themselves. They didn't claim to, and I didn't pay for the feature. I only use AP on the highway, BTW. I occasionally use TACC on surface streets when I'm feeling lazy. Used AP on surface streets just enough to know not to.
