The car seems to be nagging a lot more when the sensor's confidence levels go low. Make sure that the radar and the camera sensor have no obstructions. Clean the windshield in front of the middle rear view mirror to get rid of any glare that may interfere with machine vision. And if everything...

Oh boy. You have no idea how close you guys are to reality. Mercedes actually lists their cars wth a 35 or so liters gasoline tank. You can order an upgraded tank to 85 or so liters. The upgrade is free (or at least the dealer will give it to you for free). Why? Simple: in the emissions tests...

I'll be happy to help with the CAN bus boards. I have a pick and place robot and an oven available (Chinese quality, so don;t use too fine pitched parts or even BGAs). I am located in Germany, but I assume that none of the parts used have export restrictions.

Amazing. How can the entire left fender burn away, but the tyre still be fine? Just glad that nobody got hurt.

That's like asking if I ever wanted to go back to a tube TV after using an HD LED flatscreen TV.

Re: Doom! That's it. It's officially hacked. Awesome work!

OK, I found the information : Wireless front parking camera with monitor for front bumper protection Thanks for the links, yes, they claim that it is an OmniVision OV10630, also named Q7382315, 1280x800, 10bit YUV depth, 3V, OminiPixel3-HS family. The product brief show a digital bus that may...

Could someone please get me the part number of the camera itself (the Tesla module number may help, too). I remember that in the very early days, some manufacturer was priding himself with having the Tesla contract, but I can't find that article anymore. It contained part numbers, and I was able...

I received it today. No obvious changes found yet. Did not try launch control on my 19" winter wheels.

Adding an external HDMI port would be absolutely fantastic. I could hook my smart phone to it, and whenever a message comes in, z quick tap on the camera button will let me see what's on the phone display without actually touching the phone. Yay!

I wish that in my short life, I'd have the time to discuss for 63 pages how the kWh numbers of my car were calculated. Those who care should sue, and let us know the out-coming on page 64. Done.

1: kids that are too young to hold an iPad should not be watching TV to begin with. Get a sock puppet. 2: my kids can hold iPads and never ever watch TV on them. They want to be online and interact. They can't interact with an iPad that is glued to the seat. 3: as was said before, any...

Even though I live and drive in Germany, going 160mph is possible, but nothing I do regularly. There are a few individuals out there that push their cars to the limit, but going faster than 110mph is incredibly impractical with heavy traffic and other drivers criss-crossing between trucks and...

2nd row seat swivel:

I think I figured out the seat configuration. Look at the front center console: it has a visible arc on the side, so it probably has space under that arc. Also, the mechanism in the elbow of the seat is quite peculiar. Lastly, by the looks of it, the middle seats can't fold. Here is the...
