    Does all software go with the car when sold?

    I hunted around and failed to exactly find this answered. We're looking at selling our beloved Model 3 since we're moving abroad. In trying to price it appropriately, I'm wondering whether all the software goes with it. Specifically, we have: Enhanced Autopilot Full Self-Driving Lifetime...

    Charging in the very welcome rain in Ashland!

    I do believe I just earned my second first in Ashland, OR! In the rain, and, oh how we need the rain. There was no one else there. Ashland showed up on my iPhone app, but not in the car's nav. And on the charging screen where it usually shows the current session and how much your tab is thus...

    Supercharger - Wilsonville, OR (LIVE 17 Nov 2023, 8 V4 stalls)

    Yep, I found that one on Plugshare a while back. The stretch between Klamath Falls, OR and Winnemucca, NV is just a bit too far to attempt in our Model 3. But I hesitate to rely on that L2 charger in Lakeview in case it's broken or ICEd or something at the time. No back-up plan. So instead we...

    Yeah, like Lakeview, OR, which would support East-West traffic on 140 and North-South traffic on 395.

    Supercharger - Ashland, OR (LIVE 1 Sep 2023, 24 V3 stalls)

    We popped by today after shopping. Not much new since @ninerbynature 's post Tuesday, except worker vehicles are gone. No transformer that I could see. They'll need to remove the existing sidewalk and curb. The sidewalk is all crumbled, presumably from heavy equipment. Plus the curb has to go to...

    Could bugs be causing (some) phantom braking?

    What catches my eye in your description is the temperatures and the straight, clear highway. I believe TACC has become sensitive to mirages in the last year or so. If there's traffic ahead, it'll often be closer than the distance at which mirages appear, so no phantom braking. But when no one is...

    Glove box flops open hard

    Thanks very much. That confirms my guessing. Do you have any advice on taking things apart to hunt for said white plastic thingy? Youtube video?

    Glove box flops open hard

    Our Model 3 just passed its fifth birthday. And just recently, when the glove box opens, it now opens with a bang. That is, it flops open hard and fast, such that the door actually bounces a few times before coming to rest. It used to open gently. Clearly there's some sort of damping system that...

    Soccer ball 1, windshield 0

    Glad you survived that hunk of ice! And yeah, I remain surprised it was a soccer ball. If I didn't have the video as proof, I would have guessed it was a vandal with a bat.

    Hey, follow-up question on this, especially after above comments on the quality of the glass. Our car was built in July 2018. I seem to recall that some years later (2020?) Tesla made several updates to Model 3 to reduce cabin noise, and I think one of those was a change to the windshield glass...

    FSD 11.4.x experiences

    Wow. This exact thing happened again two days ago. No idea why it's now doing this. A good left turn, immediately followed by a move into the two-way left-turn lane. And there is no further left turn coming up. Weird.

    I don't know. The kids' parents split the tab 50/50 and reimbursed me, so no insurance claim.

    I was nearby, so I popped in for a peek. Not heaps of progress. There was one man working, kinda between his pickup and the orange digger. I couldn't tell what he was doing specifically. One photo (last one) shows open doors on the white cabinets, and there are spools of cables here and there...

    For anyone fascinated by my tale, here's the update. I drove to Bend and back yesterday, about 184 miles each way. On the way there, the wipers would come on at random, non-rainy times, I assume because the crack in front of the cameras would sparkle and look like rain. But they replaced the...

    FSD 11.4.x experiences

    Yesterday I drove to Bend, OR and back (to the Tesla service center for a new windshield). That's 184 miles each way. I used FSD about 95% of the drive. It involves neighborhood, small highway, freeway, lots of mountain road, and more--good variety. 11.4.2 did pretty well with most of it, with a...

    FSD 11.4.x experiences

    I can't believe I forgot this one in my bullet list report yesterday, since it's rather a biggie, and very weird. We were on a small street crossing a multilane bigger street. The light turned red as we approached the intersection, and the car stopped well. All good so far. Then after a minute...

    FSD Beta 11.4.2 Ignores White Shoulder Boundary!

    Weird. Sort of like that, today I was in a left turn lane, and as we rolled toward the actual turn, FSD dodged right into the adjacent travel lane (about halfway) and quickly back again, as though it was dodging an obstacle, but there was nothing there.

    2023.7.10 (11.4.2)--Anything else?

    Like many of you, we got 11.4.2 a few days ago. The release notes said a lot about FSD improvements. That's all great. But it's May of 2023, and this was our first 2023.anything release. I figured in the last half-year or so there would have been some non-FSD improvements and new features. But...

    FSD Beta 11.4.2 Ignores White Shoulder Boundary!

    I'll pay attention next time, though I think it's already about 30 there. Speed didn't feel like a factor, but again, I'll check it out as you suggest next time!

    FSD 11.4.x experiences

    I had seven errands to run this morning, so I got to give 11.4.2 my first try. I'd read a few posts about how much smoother and smarter it was, so I was hoping for greatness. Frankly, I didn't notice much net difference. Here are a few highlights. Near home there's an unprotected left at a T...

    FSD Beta 11.4.2 Ignores White Shoulder Boundary!

    Today on 11.4.2, it was doing this maneuver from a local road onto an I-5 onramp: (From West Valley View at the top right, then downward and toward the left of this clip.) It cut the curve way too tight, going well over the white shoulder line. I'd estimate it may have been about half the...

    Yep. I called USAA the day after the incident. They didn't even want to make a note on my record, and said there's no time limit to file a claim on this. And yes, of course I feel exposed on this until they actually make good on their promises. We'll see!

    One of the moms did a quick Google during the story I first posted, and found Tesla windshields in the $1000-$2500 range, so they do have an idea, and I've passed on the estimates. She's looking at her homeowner's insurance, not her auto insurance, BTW.

    Soccer ball 1, windshield 0

    Sure, and I'll use it if I have to. But there's a deductible and it's then on my claim history. The other families so far are cooperating and owning up to their responsibility. They may handle it as a claim on their insurance, which is fair and appropriate.

    Soccer ball 1, windshield 0

    We drove about 300 miles home, and didn't notice any further spreading beyond the initial incident. I've seen windshield cracks spread before in other cars, but so far, this is stable. But I'm worried the next soccer ball will pop right through! :)

    There were one or two optional things, but the calibration wasn't one of them! Crazy. So today I made an appointment at Tesla in Bend for about $700 less. It's an 8-hour round trip (plus waiting while they work), but I've decided it's worth it.

    I struggled with that. The video clearly shows the two kids. Out of respect for their privacy, I opted to merely describe it. Sorry!

    On our way home from Victoria, BC, we stopped to visit my daughter and her family near Portland for several hours.

    Sorry if this is a duplicate, but at 379 pages, I confess to not reading every one. Anyway, freeway merging in 11.3.2 and 11.3.3 needs work. It uses the full length of the onramp and merge lane before actually entering the first traffic lane. It waits until the right line finally slants in...
