Agreed, I first called Paris Auto to schedule the service and was dissapointed to hear they were closed. Thank you for the response though.

I know I am resurrecting an old thread, but did you ever find an alignment shop? I am currently in the Sebago lakes region area and looking as well.

Went from same prior version to 2021.12.25.7 on my 2019 LR M3. Autopilot in the city/suburbs felt a lot more confident and centered. Breaking and distancing felt noticeably smoother. Such that it made me wonder if this was the transition to the vision based depth system.

In my first comment to you, I literally said “You can prioritize safety, while advancing and developing other functionality that carries inherent risk.” and then ended it with a Mike Rowe quote... But you still argued with me that it wasn’t safe enough, because it could be used improperly, to...

If the pilots were informed, please keep your hands on the controls and pay attention constantly, as autopilot may abruptly do the wrong thing at the worst time - than yes, I would say my analogy fits.

Driving a car and adjusting the radio, could injure a completely uninvolved person in another car, or a pedestrian. This is not me arguing that some people are not abusing the very clear responsibility as the driver/operator of Tesla's "beta" feature-set, but when done so as intended, it is hard...

You can prioritize safety, while advancing and developing other functionality that carries inherent risk. Absolute safety is one of those black holes of everything is wrong and nothing is good enough. At some point, you must allow adults to be adults and allow them to decide what is safe and...

That does speak to the fact they either rushed Tesla Vision to the extent they felt safe doing so (auto-high beams, turning off some functions in FSD, like Smart Summon) and left radar for their premium range. But I have a really hard time seeing them spend 5-months and arguably a lot more, of...

^This. Also worked against me in terms of local registration taxes. Though 10k is not a insubstantial amount to pay outside of financing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We have observational evidence from the litany of Beta FSD users and those subset posting videos. Obviously that is not a very imperial measure, but I wouldn't necessarily call it anecdotal - since disengagements, even if personally counted, are correlated among the group of public facing beta...

Are you moving the goalposts again? You can't assume a negative because there yet does not yet exist a positive - if the number of disengagements on this early, early Beta FSD release continually trends downward, the presumption that the current hardware stack couldn't support "FSD" seems...

He actually did not have access to "all" and has been called out on that fact before.

I had a slightly similar experience, well some of it at least — my car is picking up Route 35 signs as 35 MPH speed limit signs. Hopefully bug reports about incorrect speed limit sign readings go anywhere productive. =p

This seems like the obvious, if bureaucratic, answer from my perspective. Never mind that Tesla could easily get insurance to protect against such an eventuality — which statistically, it will always be. An easily planned for and mitigated to an extent feasible, eventuality.

Flash drives of different capacities have different max potential speeds because they are writing concurrently to more NAND at the same time and for no other reason. Storage would only become corrupt from outside electro-static influences, manufacture defects or from approaching the end lifespan...
