    Is this a 2024 update?

    v11.1 ⁦(2024.3.10 9d92fb944d7f)⁩ This is the update which loaded a few days ago. But I’m confused. I have had FSD since purchasing my 2019 M3. I got the v12 “supervised “ update. Then this V11.1 update came through a few days later. Is this version more improved then v12 “supervised “?

    "Cabin Camera Unavailable" Kills FSD. AP Okay.

    My car occasionally pops up the warning “ camera unavailable “. I am assuming it’s because I have turned off the interior camera? But I'm not sure. I don’t use the FSD, but if I did I would be more alarmed.

    My steering went out while I was driving. A “ steering reduced” warning popped up. When I took a turn I could barely turn the wheel. Mechanic told me it does happen at times.

    Tesla announced it will offer FSD to competitors

    As for Waymo. They are two different systems. Tesla’s self-driving is supposed to work everywhere, instantly in real time, without use of lidar, etc. Waymo’s is geofenced to particular cities. Meaning Waymo would basically have to map out the world in order for it to work properly.

    Tesla wall charger that plugs into Nema 240 volt wall outlet

    I've watched the videos on YouTube. It's not easy if your not a electrician. And I don't want to hire a electrician. Again I have the Nema 240v socket. Just looking for the Tesla wall module that plugs into the socket.

    Tesla wall charger that plugs into Nema 240 volt wall outlet

    It was announced they had it in January. A search on their web site doesn't show it offered. Is there a delay in production? I had a new Mobile Tesla charger fail on me after just 6 weeks of use. To be clear I'm not talking about the hard wired version.

    Teslas for Females - Practicality vs Fun?

    I don't know but I know it's a big shock to Tesla owners when they find out the cost to insure their car. I think I read online Tesla is thinking about forming their own car insurance company to try and reduce the cost to insure their cars because a lot of owners are complaining about this.
