    Full Self Driving without Assistance by this time Next Year - Musk

    I have FSD Beta and, due to my low confidence in the current version of that combined with Navigate on Autopilot, I still mostly use "basic" Autopilot on the freeway. I have not experienced any auto lane changes in that mode and if that is actually happening, please report it in service...

    AP2 & MCU1 - Does upgrading to MCU2 also upgrade AP2 to AP2.5 or 3, and does it enable sentry mode?

    The only thing you won't get is the full color side cams that came with AP2.5 and later. This only matters if you have FSD Beta.

    Safety Score "aggressive turning" factors not logical or safe

    The point is whether it makes sense, not how it's calculated. It does not. It's completely ridiculous. Nothing about the turns I've made could be interpreted as aggressive - or unsafe, because let's face it, that's what Tesla is trying so hard to show to the regulators it cares so much about...

    FINALLY! Way Points Coming!

    Always fun to speculate and I've nothing against it but please don't post new threads under misleading titles.

    Brakes stick when switching to reverse

    Interesting, I did wash the car yesterday, thanks! But I've owned it for a year and it hasn't happened before so guess I just got lucky....

    Brakes stick when switching to reverse

    The past week I've twice got into my car in my garage in the morning (after it was sitting overnight), powered on the car and selected Reverse yet the car won't move when I apply the usual light pressure to the accelerator. The first time I thought I'd done something wrong and switched back to...

    Light Harmonic speaker HONEST review and install

    I'm just about to buy a set of 4 and was going to post the same offer! Feel free to DM me.

    FSD beta for all?

    I got the same response. I'm torn between wanting it immediately and not wanting it until it's good enough so that I'm not disappointed :). Too many "phantom braking" incidents have taken the shine off "FSD" for me, at least for now. I'm still in awe of what Tesla has achieved and...

    Improve the Tesla Dashcam by upgrading side repeater cameras?

    They were introduced in August 2017 with the upgrade to the AP computer to version 2.5. So if you're browsing on EV-CPO.com for a vehicle on Tesla's site, you can sort by "AP 2.5". Or for private party/dealers, look for the build date. Another tell - the rear seat was changed as part of this...

    The MCU2 upgrade is now $1500

    Apples to oranges. Many owners with FSD and MCU1 encountered serious issues on a regular basis that, prior to the 64GB upgrade "solution", were not addressed consistently or satisfactorily. Many of us were getting the run around and completely different answers, depending on our SC. It is...

    Buying a used Model S...2015 or 2017

    What he said! I went through a similar analysis as a novice last year....seems like a lifetime ago after 6 months in my 2017 S! I'll just add that you shouldn't worry about the difference between AP2.0 and AP2.5 (which was introduced around August 2017) since both get a free upgrade to AP3.0...

    The MCU2 upgrade is now $1500

    Oh great. Happy for those who waited but Tesla, show some class to those of us who had HW3 and MCU1 and who felt pressured to upgrade for $2,500, before there was a $500 "fix" (for what it's worth) or a "maybe recall". Refund $1,000 without us begging.

    Anyone else with random blasts of electronic interference through driver's door speaker?

    Had exactly the same thing a few months ago and discovered this was addressed in an old thread. If you keep your cell phone in the deep center console under the main screen it can cause speaker interference via the MCU, which is located a few inches away. I moved my cell to the tray next to the...

    Purchasing a used model S

    Are you looking to buy from Tesla? I assume so since Lathrop is a primary storage location. If so, nobody can get access to Tesla's used cars (unless you know somebody working for Tesla :)). You buy "sight unseen" and your best bet is to demand to see the vehicle at your local delivery point...

    Holiday update, blue car color change in dash cluster?

    Ha, you attribute way too much skill and thought to the UI designers! I drive blue too. The new shade in the IC looks like a cheap GM or Ford. Before, it made me smile to glance at that beautiful blue metallic.
