Agreed about the ride and handling being comparable to the E90 platform, as well as the lack of steering feel. Both the E46 and E90 platforms were the best BMW ever made. The ubiquitous electrically assisted steering has all but made steering feel a thing of the past, in al last any new car.

So what can be inferred is that when the ADAS can’t work and gives up control, the driver is less able to react quickly or adequately as more time passes.

The plot sickens.

A 107K+ GMC truck! 😳 Moreover, it looks like a $50K truck, from the outside.

Yeah, HW 3.0 has more processing power than 2.5, so they can use vision- only on 3.0. One of the rare times when having less performance in hardware means more. 😀 My Model 3 is also kinda rare. It is one of the last few made with LR battery but RWD (I don’t much like AWD for sporty driving)...

Nope. Not for HW2.5. My 3 still has one car follow allowed, and the car one car in front of the car I’m following is visualized. BTW @Laser Ganker the above are a good test to see if you still have radar. If you have HW 2.5, that’s another good test.

But.. Elon hates marketing. Moreover, for Twitter to be a good marketing tool, it need to have that broad appeal. Elon screwed that pooch when he decided to go right and start making fun of liberals. How many people do you think will continue to use Twitter after it’s filled with anti-semitic...

Elaborate?

Heh. You have no doubt? Just go look at the tweet posted above by @AlanSubie4Life and read the replies. 😏 How much money do 4chan/8chan make? What about Parler? Just because it’s Elon doesn’t mean everything he touches turns to gold, you know. Especially since the initial cash outlay is 3-4...

Your post is a big red herring.

The government can block investment or sale if national security interests are at stake. At my startup - our tech is sought after by China, a lot. We were in discussions 1.5 years back about whether a large Chinese entity with $200M in funding would want to buy us. They were on an aggressive...

Why?

I have a question, and I am asking this in all honesty - What makes Elon act like this?

I did using my iPad. It required quite a bit of effort and steps, but I confirmed I have SC01. Huzzah.

Top colors for 2022, according to KBB: Top 8 Colors for 2022 Each year, Pantone puts out a list of popular colors. For 2022, Pantone’s Color of the Year is “Very Peri,” a soft blue with a violet-red undertone. Pantone says it “displays a sprightly, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that...

Yoke is another reason I’m turned off about Tesla. Tesla is really not a mature car maker. They have learnt some lessons since 2008, but obviously lack mature managers. The hubris of being the most valued automaker, combined with the thinking that they are on the bleeding edge of technology is...

This is one of the 10 reasons I’m putting Tesla way down my list for replacing my aging Model S.

Out of vapid curiosity I started reading the tweets for about 5 minutes. What a stinking cesspool Twitter is. Why would anyone get hooked on it? Let alone our brilliant demigod?

File charges of molestation against a dear family member.

That’s correct. EDIT: I did not know prior to seeing the forum posts re. HW 2.5. I was not even sure what I had. However, I am thankful that I have a unique car. Not just from 2.5 perspective. Mine was one of the last few 1000s made with LR and RWD. I don’t much care for AWD as it adds weight.

2018 Sept Build, LR, EAP.

Like I’ve mentioned here before, phantom braking has definitely increased for me in the last 2 months. However, I confirmed my radar is still active. (1 car follow, 2 cars ahead visualized, etc)

I have to agree. When it was only Tesla, it was fight, fight, fight to survive and ultimately win. However fighting like that takes a huge toll. (I know from being in that place for the last few years) You get very tired, your family gets very tired, and life in general is very tough. So, when...

Radar was pulled for cost reasons as much as the blind faith pursuit that vision only will cure all issues.

For me the parking feature has always worked flawlessly, when it has. 80% of the time it does not detect parking spots, though. 🙂

I kinda agree. My EAP does far more phantom braking now, in the last 2 months. If there is a car ahead of me, but in an adjacent lane, it is more careful and slower to accelerate if starting from a stop, and if cruising, sometimes slows down to the speed of that adjacent car before accelerating...

I tested whether the auto high beam was on when I engaged EAP and it was not.

I was about to post the same video. Rear drive, unassisted, super tactile fun! What a cheeky, delightful car! Love it. If I got one, I’d dress it up in light peach color changing vinyl wrap. Chick magnet, baby. 😆

A bunch of post it notes stuck to the road maliciously can take you into the ditch. No need to buy Partycity stuff!

Let us first avoid the cop with the radar gun pointed at us. Maybe by emitting a burst of radio waves to jam his gun. Edit: Oh, they removed the one device that might have aided us in that. 😏

Yes, many humans are in alpha here in the Bay Area. 😁

I have done h/w design verification quite a bit. 80% coverage of a design is fairly easy to achieve. 90% is harder, and the last 5% is the hardest. My issue with every ADAS is that the sensors are exposed to dirt, grime, mud, snow, rain. They aren’t reliable unless there are cleaning systems...

The occupancy network feature they are working on is supposed to help there. I went through the video that explains the occupancy networks. It is highly technical even for me, (I’ve been in h/w and s/w design most of my life), but I got the basic concepts. I’m not going to knock Tesla’s future...

These two blokes talk like they are Tesla employees praising their employer, for one. Secondly, they admitted issues with both cameras and USS, and did not produce convincing arguments as to why exactly cameras are better. The use cases mentioned about how you could potentially park better over...

No, it is not activated. I recently noticed high beam was on as I pulled into the garage one night. It turned out to be a misaligned drivers side headlight, which I corrected by adjusting the headlights fom the menu (neat feature, adjusting headlights from the screen). However, I need to try it...

Tesla needs to have a camera cleaning system. However, the main reason (I feel) Tesla is going with a cameras-only system is to avoid the expense of having multiple sensors, so I am not hopeful they will have one in the future.

I’m not sure my Sept 2018 build Model 3’s radar is disabled. I still have the one car follow distance available, and the two cars in front of me are still visualized. I am on HW 2.5, and some comments here seem to suggest HW2.5 cannot do vision only, so they had to retain the radar...

The last part of that article states: ”Tesla says that its systems will improve in performance over time and that Models 3 and Y that arrive without the ultrasonic sensors will not be capable of parking assist, autopark, summon, or smart summon. Tesla claims that these functions will be...

Oh, you drive your car ‘every single day’? That must be it, I just don’t drive my car _every single day_ that’s causing the wipers to wipe furiously _in my garage_. I had avoided this thread, because of people like you, who think their experience is the only one that counts, and whitewash...

Why don’t you go with this : 🤤 Only the mouth part.

Oh, be careful there - I might report you to the mods for trolling. 😌

I have also given Tesla and Elon props when merited. There is a saying - ‘the seeds of a company’s failure are sown in times of prosperity’. Tesla, I feel is at certain risk of that happening. I will go for another EV next year or after, because of issues I have noticed, and I am long time...

My my. The people purporting to support a more pro-’free speech’ Twitter are all atwitter about a few criticisms of Tesla. Imagine that! 😏 Stop whitewashing everything, and stop pouncing on everyone raising legitimate issues at Tesla. You are doing Tesla no favors.

Let us start with simple : auto wipers and headlights don’t work properly. We can go from there, to build quality that should embarrass a cheap Chinese car maker, and service quality that would embarrass Comcast. Demand is right now high (though that is being tempered, if you follow the stock...

Didn’t you hear? Of one backs out there are ten fighting among themselves violently to take their place!

I don’t give two bits about his plans for X. I care about his plans on fixing the numerous issues at Tesla. I absolutely loath all social media platforms and the vain, unhappy people that inhabit them. Twitter was a cesspool, is a cesspool, and will be a bigger cesspool with all the right wing...

Being hopeful and optimistic is okay, but not while ignoring stark reality. The only way to realize Elon’s dream about being a free speech absolutist is to let anyone and everyone in on Twitter. Like 4Chan. If you can’t see why that’s a downside and a danger to society, you’ve taken a very...

4-D chess, IOW. 🥱
