Disparity in expectations for what "Prime Time" means seems to be the main source of heated debate. For some it seems to be an advanced L2 driver assist, for some an L3 with and some expect L4+. When everyone debates readiness of FSD without specifying which of these vastly different product...

We really do not know how Tesla calculates the numbers, so I would take the numbers with a salt of grain. The history is that Tesla has not been exactly trustworthy with statements related to autonomy. Furthermore, Tesla do push people to drive carefully with FSD: first they only let in people...

Point is: When one does disengage L2 driver assist (as they should), total miles driven without an accident is completely meaningless metric. It does not measure whether the driver assist is good or not. Instead, it measures whether the driver (who is always in control regardless of the L2...

Wouldn't it be great if a customer service would have an escalation path for disputes, and management would try to make things right? Unfortunately that is not the way how Tesla operates. Probably the small claims court is the only way to solve the dispute. Before that I would give the service...

Have you ever disengaged FSD?

I for one wound like to own a L4/L5 car where I can sleep while it drives the long drive for me. That could replace flying and hotels on many occasions. Especially if the car would have beds built in. In a way this could be seen as a "private jet" for the middle class.

Here is a Waymo* car driving from San Francisco to Oakland, without a driver in 2008. (* Google acquired 510 Systems and it was eventually renamed Waymo) Yes, this was 15 years ago. They have been improving the tech since. On a more serious note, I often see Waymo cars on highways driving...

Autosteer has always been beta. There is no "vanilla" Autosteer or a "stable" Autosteer or a "general availability" Autosteer - only a beta.

Sounds like Elon has learned about what Nvidia DGX GH200 can do...

AI progress in the past 12 months have come with the increased compute: The most powerful models require a lot more compute - both for training and inference. Thus increased per node FLOPS, RAM, and number of nodes used in inference are an important factor for fast rate of improvement. Tesla...

Lemon law

When you fail to approve the estimate and have communicated on the chat that you do not approve the estimate, no-one at Tesla really cares or reacts. Instead you just arrive at the appointment and they'll do what they do. In case there is a disagreement in the end of it, you have in writing that...

I had Model S rear-ended and fixed at Tesla San Jose collision center. Repair quality was top notch Communications were lousy (no communication at all) Car was unnecessarily sitting on their yard for two extra weeks. I would have preferred driving it and them communicating honestly when they...

Some of the poorly timed Tesla problems are minor, but totally ruin the usability. Couple of examples I have had on Model S: Window motor broke down: the window was impossible to close. I had to tape it shut to sustain a rain. Driver door handle stopped working. I was able to enter and exit...

You have that in writing - including the buyback price - by someone authorized to make the decision? If not, you may still need to lawyer up.
