I'm in the Northeast US. Thinking about rust-proofing my Model 3. What did you use for rust-proofing? Did you do it yourself, or did you take it somewhere like Krown?

I'm happy to report that I think Tesla has deployed significant improvements to ELDA. I used to experience a false positive every 10-15mins of driving, but since about a week ago, I haven't gotten any. I'm now on software version 20.4.2, but I think it got better in the prior version (the one...

I like AP, but it always feels like it isn't taking things into account that are not pretty close to the car; ie, it doesn't feel like it can see moderately down the road. From what I understand of HW2.5, they both crop and down-sample the video, so this makes sense. Which will naturally result...

It's starting to become 2nd nature for me to turn it off, but it's still annoying to do every single drive: tap car icon, tap autopilot, scroll down, tap ELDA toggle, click disable on confirm popup, close menu. It's annoying, especially if you're running a bunch of errands back to back since you...

Turns out gliding over the shoulder line a tad is a pretty normal way of driving on New England country roads. ELDA reeks of being tested mostly on highways, or clear straight roads. It seems clear that there's magnitudes more discontent over this feature than is typical for updates. This is...

My issue with ELDA is nothing theoretical; it's just that the false-positive rate is wayyy too high. Honestly, it's so bad I can't recommend the car to people anymore :( . Most people aren't going to tolerate turning the feature off every single drive, and at least on the roads I drive, leaving...

There's a long thread on it: Emergency Lane Departure - False Positives It may depend on what types of roads you drive. I imagine it's good/useful on highways. But on country roads with lots of curves it's horrible - false positive every 20mins of driving in my experience (and this is across 3...

Ughhh, so no change to ELDA. Being unable to permanently turn that off is unacceptable. I'm on 16.2 and I *hate* ELDA. It's dangerous and makes the car not fun anymore; it's hard to remember to turn it off before every single drive.

Yeah. Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance is bad. Here's a thread on it: Emergency Lane Departure - False Positives Love my car, but they need to update this. It's scary when I forget to turn off ELDA at the beginning of a drive.

Haven't read this whole thread, but I *hate* Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance. I get a false positive probably every 20 minutes worth of driving on my local roads (winding New England country roads). I try to turn it off every drive, but sometimes I forget and the car will likely find some...

Yes, indeed I meant Emergency Lane Departure *Avoidance* (I mistakenly wrote "assistance" in my original most). And it's unacceptable. I can say this with confidence after several more days of driving with 16.2 now. The issue is not "driving too close to other cars". I drive mostly on country...

Really? I thought they never used rollout numbers for any Model 3 numbers? Is that not the case?

P to AWD is now a 1.2s difference, but was 1.0s when I bought my car, and AWD to Standard+ is 0.7s. Not that I have a right to complain (the car keeps getting better, which is awesome), but it definitely seems like there's ample room to give AWDs a little more love.

I would probably pay the $10k or whatever for an OTA update that made my car a P-. Not that the AWD isn't plenty fast (every passenger is blown away by the ride)....it's just that I've gone from not really caring about acceleration before I owned a Tesla to totally addicted now and I want moar.

Emergency lane departure assistance is too aggressive. I've had the update for 1.5 days, 3 people have driven the car, and all of us have complained that it took the wheel in situations that weren't warranted. Not loving the update so far.
