My guess is that the FSD team has parked(!) the problem of recognising digital signs. Unlike static signs where thousands of examples can be used to train the neural net, digital signs are dynamic and potentially the recogniser needs to cope with: - any value between 0-99 - blank sign - outer...

If anyone wants a better understanding of the FSD beta software, the limitations and challenges I recommend watching this: Worth noting the Software 1.0 to Software 2.0 transition described in the video. It is going to take a while to refine the FSD implementation and there will be bumps along...

"do not collect statistics" - to be charitable they must have misunderstood the question or assumed a strict technical definition of statistics. See the screenshot below from Transport Tasmania's registration check website, obviously their database has the necessary fields (even if the field...

Some data points from Tasmania. We estimate the number of Tesla's in Tasmania is at least 60 (as at Sep-2020). We know a local Nissan LEAF importer (sourcing used vehicles from Japan) has so far sold 52 (in one case 4 adjacent houses in one suburb purchased LEAFs - word-of-mouth can be...

Thanks Sandy, and more here too Tesla Filed Patent 'Machine learning models operating at different frequencies for autonomous vehicles'

Perhaps, but Tweets by Elon suggest it could be something else as per: Tesla speed limit sign recognition My interpretation having watched presentations by the Tesla team working on their full-self-driving and various Elon tweets is that they want to solve the whole problem. That is using...

Used my son's ICE car last week to move a load of boxes, parked it, managed to walk about a dozen paces before I looked back and wondered why it was still making a noise...I am so used to jumping out of the Model 3 and walking away that I had forgotten to turn off the ICE car, remove the key...

me too; I like the design and the specifications, amazing!

I noticed on FB today one a MX has gone up on eeve.com.au (not affiliated etc...was delighted to see one in Tassie...)

With V10 update I think it sets the air vents to your personal profile setting now?

Lost my VIN, in the page source-code I had "5YJ3F7EB9KF488383", but it has gone now :-(

If they can deliver 2,500 Model 3 in September then they would be safely in third place according to this list: Premium new car sales tumbling, here's the data | CarAdvice

Mine just went to Next Steps! P3-, res. holder, first opp order.

I thought some of the evidence in favour of "nerfing" came from people looking at parts lists of the respective models and not seeing any differences. I could image Tesla simply making a "maintenance" provision for P models for potential slightly higher warranty claims due to over stressing some...

Regarding delivery comms and the uncertainty, to me it seems entirely expected given the chaotic nature of the system. There are too many uncontrolled variables, it is not a build-to-order pipeline. I get the impression their new web checkout process is an attempt to streamline the process, at...
