Nice to see the price reduction today for a sub - a step in the right direction. On a ~175 mi trip today in varied environments, I had at least 15 disengagements, all but two my own, and reported every one I reasonably could, almost entirely stuff already mentioned in this thread. There also...

On the bicycles, it slightly moves over to give them more room. If it slowed down at all, it was very little. This is on at least three bikes in their lane immediately adjacent to me, going both directions (same and opposite me - it happens here), consistent behavior, on a 55 mph secondary...

First FSD 12.3.2.1 drive... several disengagements and gave feedback for each, one no-intervention segment in three. A significant step forward and still a ways to go. My wife for the first time is curious about maybe trying it herself. To date she has only used TACC. Maybe we'll try a test...

Seems so. Been on 2024.2.7 since Feb 21 and a manual check yesterday had no update. This morning they pushed .3.6. So far my car has received updates only after I see a thousand or two before me getting theirs. I wonder if .8.7 also has FSD 12.3.2.1. Edit: like others, got the one month...

I'm not currently subscribed to FSDb, but a couple months ago when I was - with 11.4.4, it definitely did a rather nice U-turn, following nav. No other traffic around. I had read here it wouldn't, then decided to see for myself how it would fail - and I could have done no better job. N...

Nice! Surprised to see range for RWD is unchanged at 272 mi, and top speed for both models reduced to 125 mph from 140.

Perhaps a nice courtesy elsewhere, and I've yet to see anyone signal before exiting the numerous roundabouts in US east coast cities. You're driving the newest "Highland" model 3, and like some newer model S and X it lacks stalks on the steering column. You can easily find much debate about...

A couple weeks ago on .44.30.5.1 on cool yet not cold mornings I twice nav-ed to the same supercharger about four miles away. On the way, as usual it said it was preconditioning. However on arriving and plugging in, each time it displayed a message on the lower LH screen admonishing me: "Next...

We've kept ours at 50% limit since new and only charge above that - usually to 100%, once or at most twice a month. We rarely use more than 20-30% range in a day (20% lowest SoC). On trips we've partially supercharged maybe four times, otherwise level 2. Today, 6,741 miles and exactly four...

I've had the exact same thing happen - consistently and rather violently in a similar spot around a gentle LH curve. It loudly squawks then disengages after jerking about halfway into the right lane. Secondary highway with 45 mph speed limit. It appears to interpret those lines as indicating...

Another thumbs up for Teslamate for graphing and logging. I also use this Home Assistant Tesla integration: GitHub - alandtse/tesla: Tesla custom integration for Home Assistant. This requires a refresh token be generated by third-party apps to login. The HA integration logs and can control...

TL;DR - stock 18" Aero covers and uberturbine-style covers, symmetric or not, all performed identically within a margin of error. I'm keeping the Kavanic covers on because they're no worse efficiency-wise, help protect from curb rash and especially painted, I prefer the look. A couple of my...

Computers/AIs this century may exceed 90% of what humans *currently* do for gainful employment. That's ok. We're already starting to evolve and adapt, to effectively use AIs to augment how we live, not replace us. We're here (we still exist) because as a race we're incredibly adaptable and...

There's already plenty of talk on the topic, e.g. Who Wants to Grant Robots Rights? I found another more recent Apr '23 article on WSJ too though it's behind their paywall.

Perhaps it'll be scary because it's unknown how humanity will respond? What it'll do is force us to question and more deeply explore what it means to be human. I'm confident we'll get past that and am looking forward to it. The questions are already coming; people are already scared at the...
