    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Agreed wholeheartedly. And when a little bit of fog hits and cruise control refuses to maintain your set speed, because it thinks it can't see well enough. It sends me up the wall every time TACC tries to nanny me like that, when FSD continuously reminds me that I'm supposed to be the one...

    Tesla Owners in Alberta

    There should be nothing unique about tires and balancing - any tire shop should be able to do it. The only thing you may want to verify with them is they have the proper lifting pucks for Teslas. I think we are common enough now, even here in oil country, that any name brand / reputable shop...

    FSD Owners - Do any of you prefer leaving it off?

    I've finally given up and just gone back to autosteer. For me it was the unpredictable lane changes - even with "minimal lane changes" checked, it would try to change into left turn lanes when it needs to go straight, or just generally ping-pong, telling me it was "following route." Very...

    Rear seat headphones?

    I saw the same. That had better not be the case, if so like WTF?

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    Can I not watch this video without signing up to X? I've never had twitter / X and don’t want it…

    Has anyone heard of a Tesla being rear ended because of phantom braking?

    The argument about coming to a complete stop vs aggressively slowing down is kinda irrelevant, as I would venture to say everyone overrides the braking event with the accelerator before it gets to that point anyway. So whether it would have come to a complete stop or not, most don't even find...

    How worried about vandalism are you?

    Maybe it's an Alberta thing. I went through a broker; they couldn't find anyone who wouldn't require either a ridiculous deductible or high rates to compensate for a lower deductible.

    How worried about vandalism are you?

    In Edmonton proper, maybe not so bad. In the rural areas surrounding Edmonton? Sentry and dashcam on, all the time. In 1.5yrs I've had quite a few incidents, from people swerving at me to spinning their rear wheels at stoplights to kick rocks into my windshield. Also had a hit and run that I...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Yup, TACC only. I do have FSDb but it was 100% not engaged. It didn’t try to take the turn, it just slammed on the brakes at the turn point.

    Has anyone heard of a Tesla being rear ended because of phantom braking?

    Crossposted: Just got the 11.4.2 FSDb update. I am cautiously optimistic, in my limited driving today I did not get phantom braking in the usual spots. Up to now, to almost 100% certainty, I would get it in certain spots (overhead wires were a big trigger). Made it the whole way today with no...

    Has Basic Autopilot improved (and phantom braking decreased) since radar was removed? (About to buy!)

    Has anyone heard of a Tesla being rear ended because of phantom braking?

    Was it the stretch between Medicine Hat and Calgary? That stretch is brutal, tons of FSD and TACC issues. I think the mapping is messed up or something, making the usual problems even worse.

    Has Basic Autopilot improved (and phantom braking decreased) since radar was removed? (About to buy!)

    IIRC, if you are on navigate on autopilot (you'll have a single "tentacle" showing your car's path in your visualization), you can adjust more than +10. This is for what they call "restricted access highways" only, basically freeways where there are no intersections, just interchanges /...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Yup. I drive east in the morning on the way to work, it constantly slows down and refuses to drive the set speed. Hasn’t disengaged yet, just won’t drive the set speed so I end up having to disengage. Might be partly because it always misses the speed limit sign where it transitions to rural...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I trust you were aware I was joking, and are doing the same…. 😉
