I have nothing to add regarding the early models, but my 2017 is getting a part number that ends in B vs your A. No idea what the difference there is, but just wanted to give you a datapoint to compare to as you look for other people who have had this done.

Tesla’s own 10Q disagrees with you. Energy revenue is flat YoY and is a rounding error compared to car sales. Hell they barely do any leasing and leasing revenue is very close to their energy revenue. Revenue from automotive regulatory credits is double their energy revenue as well. You can...

This is the first post of yours that I’ve seen in a while that has made me think “this guy is crazy”. I think Tesla has a short term future (I’m not going to try to define what I think “short term” actually is because I don’t really know) but long term I think they’re dead in the water. Their...

Current version is 2020.32.2. NoA is absolutely wonderful if I only have to get in a lane and never get out of it. Anything more and it’s... pause for dramatic effect... useless. I don’t mean “it’s ok but I disagree with some of the decisions it makes”, I mean “useless”. I’ve literally never had...

Selling emissions credits is what makes money for Tesla, not autopilot. Remove those credits and the money starts draining again.

Should be a lower price for everyone that pre-paid for FSD as well in that case, seeing as how I had already paid $3k for that several years ago.

You appear to disagree with reality. Waymo operates vehicles that literally have no one driving them, and you still say that they don’t have self driving cars. Do you know what you call all those sensors that they have on their vehicles? Progress! Autonomous driving is an unsolved problem...

Seriously? They payed hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and are spending billions of dollars in non-fine penalties, as well as some people getting arrested over it. If you’re trying to say “well why doesn’t Germany clean their OWN house first?!” the answer is simply “they did”.

A good chunk of the people on here are vying to SEC.

It’s their latest banner feature, and literally in the title of this post. On top of that, parking lots are incredibly difficult areas to drive in due to the crazy number of different things to keep track of. It’s basically everything needed for city driving packed into a tiny area.

It never made sense when people started saying it, and it still doesn’t make sense today. Smart Summon is, and continues to be, a dumpster fire of a feature. It ignores all signage, will happily drive onto the curb or down an embankment, and just gives up right in the middle of the lane forcing...

That’s why /r/realtesla exists. Sure, they can tilt to the other extreme at times, but it’s at least not a constant stream of “DAE Elon is saving the world he’s so dreamy?!?!” Here is the post in that sub: Tesla has updated the MCU warranty to 2 years/25k miles. Very sleazy move : RealTesla

Depends on what you consider to be “usable”. Does it still work? Sure, eventually. Navigating from my office to home, or my home to a random place within about 20 miles takes somewhere on the order of minutes. I guess that’s fine though, seeing as how the screen going black randomly hides some...

I tried again with 2020.24.6.1 and AP3.0. NoAP continues to be useless. My primary complaint has generally been that the decisions the car makes are dumb, and that continues to hold true. It has zero planning capability beyond what the map data tells it. It happily sits in a backed up lane going...

Here's another person who's a well known cyberbully that we should probably not send traffic to. You mean like how the Tesla faithful came out in force to try to bully Dr. Erica Pan and the Alameda County Public Health Department?
