I hate to see a crash like that.. terrible. What kind of track allows someone to go out and push hard with NO HELMET?? And what kind of human goes out on a track and pushes to over 160mph WITHOUT WEARING A HELMET?? 🤦‍♂️

"one small leap for man, one quantum leap for mankind" Nah, doesn't work..

A couple of weeks of using FSD in San Francisco, and my main complaint is that at 4-way intersection (where every branch is at 90º for each other), my car is making left turns way too shallow - forcing me to take over every time there's a car to my left waiting for me to complete my turn to go...

Sorry I created this nearly a year ago and updated it a few times last year but haven't kept it up..

Sadly, this is going to make service quality even worse.. as per usual with Elon, it’s all about optics, and in this case, it’s just about reducing the delay to obtain service - not fix the quality of said service, which is much more important in my opinion! (and don’t get me started on “best...

How hard is it to remove the rear seats in a 2021+ Model S? Asking for a friend who’s tracking his car soon ;)

Yep, agreed - I think at some point codes will be merged so even if you’re just using AP and haven’t purchased FSD, the camera will be used to monitor attentiveness. Whether they will remove the need to tug the wheel/yoke once in a while is to be seen, but given there are easy “hacks” out there...

Tesla is already using the interior camera on FSD Beta builds to monitor attentiveness, even on the highway despite not being on a single stack yet. If you look away for too long (several seconds) or have a phone in your hand for just a second or two, the car warns you to "Pay attention to the...

Most welcome. I’m just glad my shaking mirror was finally replaced after nearly a year of ownership. Real shame on Tesla service for all the pushback they gave me on properly fixing such a basic issue on such an expensive car… PS: the replacement mirror assembly now exhibit a slight squeak upon...

First time I hear of a sub-9 second Plaid, impressive! How much weight did you shed, relative to stock?

Sure, here are a few - you can see the lack of blind spot in the last one, as the merc SUV shows up in the mirror and can be seen through the window.

Interesting. My 2021 Plaid made in August behaves slightly differently than your 2021:

Lol the best part is (and hold). For several days.

Just got my car back from service today. This was the 3rd time since last summer it's been at the service center for at least the mirror shaking issue (among many others), excluding the mobile service time I took the tech for an extended drive until he admitted it was still a problem after the...

To be crystal clear on how the Safety Score works: - Miles driven on AP do count for total miles driven - Any dings for following too closely, hard braking, aggressive turning, or forward collision warnings do NOT count while on AP and for three seconds following AP disengagement by the driver...

Glad it's not just me, I thought I somehow messed up my TMC settings lol

I wonder if there’s a way to do this on a Model S since the speed limit is shown on a non-touchscreen instrument cluster display. Is there an FSD-specific online manual that describes the operation of the vehicle when running FSD beta versions?

Just got FSD beta 10.12.2 (firmware version 2022.12.3.20) from a non-FSD version 2022.12.3.3. 100% safety score over the last 2 weeks and ~300 miles. I'm one of those who had FSD beta between October and December, then opted out as I didn't see much progress at all across the multiple FSD beta...

Same here! 100% safety score over the last 2 weeks and ~300 miles. I'm one of those who had FSD beta between October and December, then opted out as I didn't see much progress at all across the multiple FSD beta version I received, and got annoyed with the 80mph AP limit (I think I can deal...

Saw that too, but it’s a really old version from 2021

Optimus will sit in the passenger seat and reach for the steering wheel every now and then to take care of the nag.

Anyone new to FSD in 2022 with this version?

We really need to teach these millennials proper grammar: "could've went" -> "could've gone" 😉

Yep, that’s why most humans slow down a fair bit when approaching such crests and drive straight over them (instead of at an angle). I would expect FSD to do a similar thing. I remember how over 6 years ago AP1 used to veer left (sometimes onto oncoming traffic!!) when going over crests, which...

I know this neighborhood very well - it's Bernal Heights in San Francisco, notorious for tight roads and two-lane streets that are barely wide enough for one car to pass at a time. Last time I had FSD Beta in late-2021 it did really poorly there, so it looks like 10.12.1 is a good deal better...

No bump to 85mph on AP like other non-FSD releases for vision-only vehicles?

Don't worry, a new one will be out in two weeks 😁

Oh come on, give him a brake (or 20) ;)

+3 for yoke-distaste. "Hate" is a strong word but I do strongly prefer the round wheel and stalks from the Model 3/Y.

I went for the R12 race compounds 😁

Which compound did you get?

I got mine looked at (again) but they didn’t bother replacing the assembly, just “tightened” it somehow. Not only did this not fix the issue, but whatever they did now makes the mirror shake even more :rolleyes:

I finally got to test this on my Plaid today. Turning on Track Mode then going for a drive DOES log that trip in Safety Score. Example below:

I don’t think so, as the front rotors on the previous S (365mm) and current 3 Performance (355mm) are smaller than the refresh S/X (380mm).

Has anyone noticed their overall safety score jump up in the last week or so? Even though I’m not in the FSD beta anymore, I have Tesla insurance so the safety score appeared for me earlier this month. I wasn’t driving super carefully like I used to in the days prior to getting into the beta...

Yeah I was being facetious.. same calipers and pads on all S models, just a color difference. I wish the Plaid came with stock brakes that matched the crazy power & weight.. I decided to keep my RB rotors for now and ordered G-LOC R12 pads from silentspeed.com - hopefully will get them soon so...

The Performance S models had red calipers ;)

Neither my 2014 Model S P85D nor my 2019 Model 3 Performance had this issue.

More utter nonsense from Tesla. You can be parked and crank some music with heavy bass, and the mirror will still shake.

Source? I know Tesla does this in track mode for the Model 3 Performance, but with two independent motors in the rear, they can just use each motor for torque vectoring without having to use rear brakes.

Not hard necessarily, but some people such as myself find it annoying despite "getting used it". I much prefer a round wheel for driving on city streets, despite losing a tiny bit of visibility to the dash screen. And for tracking on a closed circuit, it's an absolute must. Don't take my word...

Alright, get a room you two ;) How about the offer to take Twitter private? “Funding secured” for real this time? Will the board take Elon’s offer? If so what will that mean for the platform? I’m all for free speech but not when it hurts others.. fine balancing act. Not sure Elon will be that...

Interesting.. what are the release notes for this version?

Highly unlikely that Tesla would retrofit variable rate steering to existing models, if they even ever build one. If they did, you’d most likely have to buy a new car altogether..

After several weeks of having pressed the FSD opt-in request button and seeing no changes (app or in-car), I finally have a Safety Score section in my phone app. However, I heard this was probably coincidental with the release of Safety Score for drivers in California who have Tesla insurance...

I haven’t had that experience, it’s been very stable for me.
