I've had this problem also and previously posted about it: My car randomly turned itself on. WTF? I always make sure to manually lock the car these days because I no longer trust the auto lock.

Are you sure about the MCU2 requirement? Doesn't AP2.5 cars have full access to sentry mode with recording?

In this case, I guess sentry mode is not really suitable for overnight parking outside then. Which is sad because this would be a useful scenario. Also not sure if constantly running the AP computer and using that much power will shorten its lifespan.

I've tried sentry mode on my AP2.0 car (no recording capability) and it seems to have increased significantly the daily battery drain if I enable it overnight. The overnight drain is around 3-5x what it was previously. I assume this is why Tesla does not have this on by default? Would like to...

You have videos of a fire starting? I have seen videos of cars burning, but never a car battery fire start. I have, however, seen videos of Galaxy Note 7 fires starting, which is similarly sudden. I don't understand how people in this forum can blindly dismiss this fire simply because it does...

Guys, you're in denial. There's video from adjacent security cameras as well that's all over social media in China. Plus, the fire did happen, the fire department showed up, and lots of videos of the aftermath. It's all over the news in China. There's no gas lobby and no real anti-Tesla...

This is an old thread. But I just accidentally found this article that throws some shade at Tesla and NHTSA stats: NHTSA's analysis of Tesla Autopilot safety was bad, but its coverup was worse. I didn’t go into the arguments in detail so take it with a grain of salt. But as I’ve said before...

I thought AP2 and AP2.5 have the same camera suite?

My theory on this, (could be completely wrong): Previously, every two stalls shared a single power supply. Now, all stalls share power source (some combination of transformers and batteries), which has enough to supply most stalls without throttling. However, I would still think that the...

Yes that seems to be the case. Automatic deferment.

Can't attend on Thursday. Is anyone else trying to do the same? Elon said on Twitter that we can, but it didn't come with instructions. 5 days really isn't enough notice, especially for a weekday event. (And sorry, no, I do not want to pass on the invite to someone else. I do want to attend a...

Well I'm not sure what he means by the 25%. But... there is an official statement from Tesla that existing superchargers will be improved to 145kW rate: Introducing V3 Supercharging "Additionally, we are also unlocking 145kW charge rates for our 12,000+ V2 Superchargers over the coming weeks."...

Elon Musk on Twitter Now that Elon has said that *all* existing S/X cars will get improved charging speeds up to 25% via firmware update, I think it's useful to ask: How do these changes affect the cars that have been throttled and the throttling policy? Will those cars still be throttled...

And also: 8) how will supercharging costs be handled for the week?

Constant improvement in level 2-3 tech, not level 5. The difficulty will get much harder. Even if the tech is ready, the regulations might take *years*. More importantly, there just isn't anything to show for FSD at the moment, regardless of the progress, so why pay for it? It's already clear...
