If it’s like every other gas car I’ve ever poked into, it’s very likely that there are region and model year-specific roms (or firmware of some sort). Beyond that, there are at least two completely different hardware configurations (2 and 3 both in the wild), so they probably have something...

Got mine earlier today. 2019 sr+ w/ fsd on hw3. Picked it up a few months ago.

The weights updating is what is meant by ‘updating the neural network’. Its not like every few months they’re restructuring the core models that have been driving this thing (and learning) for a long time. A neural network model is basically comprised of two things: a directed graph...

At the end of the day, it’s a private API that isn’t properly secured (tokens with no access control are not sufficient for sharing authorization with a third party) and is undocumented. It’s not meant for what these folks are using it for, period. If you wanna hand some guy you don’t know...

By your logic, Ford owes me about $20k on my raptor. Some people...

I’m getting 60-70 (if you believe the trip gauge) per charge hooning around town.

I picked up an fxs last weekend.. already out 450 miles on it. Probably the most fun motorcycle I’ve ever owned that wasn’t a Grom.

The entire thing is a setup... pretty obvious. I mean, I guess you *could* be that stupid, but the ‘I just didn’t notice all the dings, alarms, visual aid or you know, the camera’ doesn’t pass the smell test. They do a lot of that ‘let me go ask tommy’ and then some clearly scripted back and...

Changing the sprint rate without changing the damper will, necessarily, make the damping much further from ideal than it would be otherwise. Honestly, it’s a 4K+lb sedan with less than sporting intentions... if the only purpose is to drop an inch or so for aesthetics I’d either buy proper coils...

The washer fluid sprayers are far too weak and essentially do nothing at all.

the FSD computer amounts to two asics (with one in use, one for redundancy) that perform a whooooooole lot of matrix math really quickly to locate and label things. that is all. it's not a general purpose computer (though it does include a small one, and a small gpu that can be used as one)...

can i get these files, please?

#1 con: it’s expensive. It ruins gasoline for you. Makes *anything* gas powered seem archaic and silly. It leads to electron addiction.

I complained that I had to pay around $200 in Florida. Once. Just got back from a Cali trip this spring... beautiful place. Proof politicians can ruin anything, though... just can’t imagine how living there makes any financial sense at all, unless you’re a movie star of course :)

I understand what the iOS keychain is and how it works (it’s what I do for a living). That’s all irrelevant, though. It boils down to ‘if you trust us...’. You have to trust that the app does what it says it does, which is fine, but... At the end of the day the security that is required, and...

I also considered leasing when I purchased my m3 recently. It seemed like a pretty decent idea, as we usually don’t keep cars more than a few years anyway. We were gonna do the 12k mi/yr, given that it’s not our only car. In the end, after all the math I bought the car. Glad I did, as we’ve...

I can’t imagine ever giving some third party app an access token to my car. This is insanely insecure. The API is, as I understand it, completely devoid of access controls and not in any way intended or equipped to support giving controlled access to third parties. It’s not even public or...

I tried a half dozen usb sticks of various speed and capacity and it kept having issues. Picked up a 128gb usb ssd and it’s been working since I plugged it in. SSD definitely seems to be the more reliable option.

I wouldn’t knowingly purchase an early-production model 3 (or virtually any other car, first year of production... much more so for any Tesla though). There have been a lot of very material improvements in production methodologies etc since then.

/dev/null

I can’t imagine looking at a model 3 sitting next to a bolt and saying ‘yep, I’ll take the boxy one’. It’d have to be at least one order of magnitude greater price difference. That said, if it’s just about getting the cheapest ev possible with a given range, they are giving them away. An...

Nothing... bought it to keep miles off of my truck and save on gas for all the daily running around.

I picked up a new 3sr+ recently (almost a month now) and build quality overall, just in terms of how precisely things were fit, was much better than my srt grand Cherokee and probably a little worse than either of my recent fords (raptor and focus rs). Had one minor issue with the door seal...

They do. They don’t all do it in real-time though. In the vast majority of cases (including this one) that’s not actually what you want at all.

the FSD investor day talk cleared up a lot of misconception about how tesla's fleet learns, and to what extent they're employing the neural net accelerator in the car. as expected, they're employing them for the purposes that they're currently good at: image recognition and classification...

I’m a car guy. You couldn’t pay me enough money to drive a Nissan Leaf every day. A Model 3 though... well, I bought one. It’s just infinitely cooler.

Mine definitely doesn’t have that kind of pressure behind it. It doesn’t even get half of the glass wet in my case. Oh well, they’ll fix it I’m sure.

Yeah.. in any case, it’s not effective at all. I scheduled an appointment, will see what they say.

The fluid sprays out under high pressure normally?

I thought mine must be messed up.. the fluid just kinda drips out with no real force behind it. Will hit up the service center. Thanks!

Are all mode 3 windshield washer jets completely useless, or is mine just broken? All it does it squirt a tiny bit of fluid everywhere except in front of the driver where it’d be useful :/. Is this normal?

I bought a brand new SRT grand Cherokee several years ago... now they have a trackhawk with a supercharger, the base mode is cheaper than I paid and has more standard features? Where’s my refund? I never knew that these post-sale entitlements were a thing. I’m gonna he rich with refunds...

From the firmware version... also the hw3 cars didn’t get noa without confirmation until the new 2019.16.3 release, which we al just received.

The energy use here is far, far more than what I experience using the cabin overheat protection (with ac) in Florida. I assume maybe you’re including the beginning of a drive in the morning, where consumption seems to always be significantly higher than normal for the first few miles?

*none were custom ordered.

Myself and a few friends have picked up model 3s recently, beginning early this month. All of them have a may build date (even though they were all ordered the first or second week of May), nine were custom order and all shipped with HW3. I have another friend of mine that just ordered a rwd...

Yes... this is important. Bigger batteries are not a solution, and the ones we have now are already too large. Granted, improvements in the energy density of batteries will make them smaller and lighter all else equal, but the entire point is efficiency. Weight ruins everything, and less is...

This is great news. The S looks rather outdated sitting next to the 3 in a showroom. The renders that I saw a few months back had the ‘HUD’ as a small screen in front of the driver and passenger in the air vent area... perfect solution (though definitely unnecessary, imho) without ruining the...

i need to call ford and remind them that they owe me money (or something?)... they added better cruise control to my raptor right after i purchased mine (on the 2019 models). i bet they'll be quick to come off of some cash to say sorry... geesh... some people...

Mine was quite good. No paint issues.. they seem to have improved a lot here over the earlier cars that I've seen. Panel gaps were acceptable, if not perfect. Only issue was the weatherstripping on the doors was a bit bunched up in places, which was corrected with a mobile visit a few days...

I recently picked up an SR+ as well, and also did a short (~480mi) round trip to Miami from Orlando to test it out. My experience was very much in line with yours: with two kids in the car, the idea of driving more than two hours uninterrupted or having a stop take less than 20 minutes is kind...
