I think the oldest OEM made EVs from the late 20th century that you could buy (versus lease only) might be the Ford Ranger EV. From the same era are the original Toyota RAV EVs. The first EV I owned was a 2002 RAV4-EV, we became a two EV family with a 2011 Nissan LEAF and then replaced the...

For me, charge on solar generally takes precedence over charging the Powerwalls. I'm GUESSING that Tesla takes amount of solar, historical usage to try come up with an "optimal" strategy. I don't have any schedules. This week I had issues where our Y was having trouble "connecting" to the...

I've experienced the same issue. I took our 2020 Model Y to service last week. They replaced the driving computer (for other errors) and the "USB Hub". It was working when I picked it up. But it stopped working again a few days ago (likely after I upgraded to 2023 based version of V12). I...

Do you have PTO yet? How long? Sometimes it might take a little time for all the parts to catch up.

I actually was looking at the solar output data to see how visible the eclipse was in the production data. Of course, it helps that is not my first partial eclipse.

My profile this morning had a toggle that asked if I wanted to enable FSD Supervised. This in on my profile that has had FSD enabled for quite a while now. Looking in settings confirmed that was not disabled and I needed to enable it again. As far as I know the car software hasn't changed, it...

Our Y was having issues with USB so I took it in for service. Unlike, last weeks loaner which FSD beta, this weeks loaner didn't have FSD enabled and it had ancient software. I missed having FSD beta/supervised. Service had noted driving computer errors so they replaced that as part of the...

In this case, yes. The stopped car had looked like it was signaling a left turn where there was a median. We were far enough back to have good situational awareness. I could see it clearly enough and early that I was anticipating what the action would have been. V11 would have driven up...

I finally got to take 12.3.3 for a drive. Most of my V12 driving had been with 12.3 and short stint with 12.3.1 on a loaner. TL;DR; There were magic moments. As a driver assist, I think I can see why it might have reached a "good enough" for a launch. Average mode Auto Set Speed Offset...

I don't remember the offset percentage/amounts from previous drives. We did a kitten transport drive, so I got some freeway driving in today, it was 10% for "average". (72 in a 65 zone). The conditions weren't conducive to running experiments to get the other values. The offset only gets...

I'm not sure if you are making a distinction between "surface streets" and "freeway mode". With Auto Speed Set Enabled and while driving on the freeways (w/ V11 for controls) the Max Speed is definitely affected by chill/moderate/assertive mode. The setting only affects the Max speed at speed...

Kill file - Wikipedia

Am I confused, is there another place where you can set it to be "aggressive"? The only setting I know of is "chill/average/assertive". Or is this case of a collective projection of assertive = aggresive?

Definitely easy to discern, however the max settings are still computed according to your driving profile (chill, average, assertive) if you have Automatic Set Speed Offset enabled. So, you will see a different Max Speed value compared. The tell for "V11" is that there is visible value...

Moderately so. It's better security. I rarely need to login because of the keep me logged in option. But if a site is going go through the trouble of offering MFA then it should support HW tokens.

Like a kill file from the good old Usenet days.

In your app there should be an option for "support" at the bottom.

Same in the US, it just saves the logs so Tesla can find them later.

Sustained? Did you let it run a while and look at the accumulated data? Instantaneous readouts can be misleading. Is the car below the minimum charge level for "charge on solar"? I don't think that's case in the screenshot because only 1 kW is going to the car. Is the battery below the...

Found the service invoice, they ended up replacing a controller.

Early in the life of our model Y this used to happen (2020). Use the voice command "bug report" to have the car save logs. I don't remember what service did to resolve our issue but hasn't happened in years.

V12.3 seems to have a better spacing between cars (at least front to back). Specifically, in Berkeley, CA today the car left the "KEEP CLEAR" section clear appropriately. I thought it might just be luck but shortly after that it correctly closed the gap to the vehicle in front when there...

I leave a message when I can. Sometimes I'm busy and don't get to it before the prompt disappears. I'm expecting there is auto labeling happening so I'm not making extra work for a human.

I forgot to one other behavior change with V12.3.1 (possibly V12.3 as well, I don't remember) is lane selection east bound on Evelyn Ave here. V11 always would dive to the left lane when Evelyn switches from one lane to two lanes. Today it nicely stayed in the right lane (which I think is the...

I have a weird issue non-driving (well you can't drive with it), don't know if it is a 12.3 vs 12.31.1 thing or just a thing with the cars. We have a 3 and Y and as far as I could tell the seat positions for those were independent. Well with a loaner 3 in my account, I've discovered that Tesla...

Ok, for the drive home I got a chance to look at it more. I think I was NOT initially in autospeed. There might have been some momentary confusion between the cloud profile and the car. Since our cars were at 12.3 and the loaner was at 12.3.1. It looks like the settings were reset to...

I dropped off our Y for service. The model 3 loaner provided has 12.3.1 installed and FSD enabled. I was in a hurry to get to work and didn't have time to check/tweak all the settings so I got whatever was transferred with the cloud profile. The drive from the service to work was fine. There...

I've had flakey behavior in the Y, I didn't associate initially with 12.3 but might be correlated. I use high endurance micro-SD cards with a USB adapter. I've tried different cards and adapters. It sometimes is available. I need to look more closely.

Good luck, it just popped on our Model 3. We already had in on our Y. My wife will be happy in that I can stop borrowing her car.

Hmm, interesting. I've heard some people of have an "export all solar" option. I don't have that option. Are you in PG&E land? Some other investor owed utility? I wonder what underlying state/configuration is driving Tesla's decision making for your system. I'm a net consumer and I've...

Hmm, that's not my experience. Are you sure don't have another setting enabled?

If you have the battery capacity and you are not massively over sized, the simple solution is self-powered during the surplus months and time based control during the deficit months (winter).

I'm also unlikely to use it but I also just did the upgrade on my 2018 3. We road trip in the Y these days. The primary value for me is insurance. Before CCS compatibility was an option, we had a CHAdeMO adapter. We never *needed* it for the road trips we took but it was nice to have a...

Had a nice long drive late this afternoon to drop of some foster kittens to their forever home. Why is this relevant? When we picked them up a few months ago I drove manually to keep minimize the stress for them. I was confident enough V12 to least make an attempt with FSDb. TL;DR; 50+...

I agree, I think they have "dials" turned down low for this release. We've seen it before in previous releases where it seems timid and they "unleash" it. I suspect this is a good place to start with such a massive change, much easier to have the driver add a little more acceleration versus...

My mobile service had the ECU swapped out in under 15 minutes. He chose to wait for the software reload otherwise he would have been done in under 30 minutes. I also scheduled a tire rotation, so he did that while waiting but the software reload still was the long pole. Total service time is...

Just had the retrofit done for my 2018 Model 3. It was done just like cars with newer charge ports. I'm assuming it is just a slightly different ECU.

I think this pretty common with humans. I think I used to brake like this a long time ago. My wild ass guess is that humans want to be sure they're going to stop in time so brake hard early because they don't fully internalize how fast a car can stop. Then they let up. Since V12 is trained...

Yeah, in V11 you *felt* a robot was driving when it was going wrong. With V12, even when it is going wrong, *feels* more like a human driver getting it wrong. Some of this obvious, less wheel jerking (not quite zero). But I'm not sure that as human I don't do micro corrections that are...

Notes from today's drives: Around where I live it is still way better than V11. Most of today's drive was going to be freeway so that was going to be pretty boring (since that part is V11). I did see that "autospeed" for the freeway is not a straight "10 over". It set a speed max speed of 63...

I seriously doubt that. We got in on our Y which my wife drives primarily and she doesn't use FSDb. Our 3 is still waiting. I use FSDb almost always when I drive but I don't drive that much.

It switches from "auto" to a number when going from city streets to fwy. I think is where the stack switches from V12 to V11. I don't know how it comes up with "10 over" for freeway. I haven't seen any other numbers, but I don't have a lot of drives either. I don't if the volume wiggle is a...

One word to describe V12.3 (coming from V11) is smooth. I agree with an earlier post described how V12 doesn't seem to do wild wheel jerks. Even with my first V12 disengagement was from the car smoothly entering a center lane to turn and then drifting into the double yellow towards the...

I don't how I missed it, but the release notes clearly spell out: "FSD Beta v12 upgrades the city-streets driving stack to single end-to-end neural network trained on millions of video clips, replacing over 300k lines of explicit C++ code." That is the extent of the release notes. So...

I'm curious about this too. Outside of last night's brief drive, I don't drive just to test FSDb. I consider myself a reasonably defensive driver and notice V11s poor lane positioning. Your question did remind me that a few times I looked at the car positioning as indicated on the screen...

I got another drive in: set to assertive and I enabled "autospeed" I've read about the excitement for many pages and got to experience it last night and today's drive continues the optimism. The short version, is it perfect, no. Is it significantly better than V11. Heck yeah! In my very...

I could have sworn it has had an alarm for a very long time. If you try changing lanes and it "senses" a car there it will make a noise. It's not something I've experienced in years because I try to make it a habit to not move into lanes that are occupied. I'm old school, I still look over to...

Also got V12.3 from V11.4.9 on our HW3 Model Y [edited to add HW3] Took a very short drive with practically no traffic but I still got to quickly see improvement. Basically, the little loop I took had plenty of places that V11 was either failing completely or doing poorly and V12 did quite...

You might want to consider the non-grid interactive solutions from the likes of Anker and Ecoflow (and other brands I'm not remembering at the moment). I have no experience with these, just seen and ads and watched a few videos about them. The key thing is they primarily intended to just...

Likely a patent they don't want to pay for.
