Knowing that there is a phantom breaking problem doesn’t excuse it. Someone telling you they are stabbing you as they do it doesn’t really improve the situation. I’ve had my M3LR 3 years now and most of the driving automation either in the city (Chicago) or on the highway is just so stupid-bad...

Found this by accident (I was searching “turn model three into hatchback”) and read into this… there is a reason that people—adults, children, babies—wear seatbelts or sit in car seats. Not only does any loose object in the back seat turn into a missile when you hit the breaks hard enough, or in...

Count me as another 2019 FSD $6K unsatisfied purchaser who would gladly take a refund. I don’t do enough highway driving to make EAP worthwhile (when it works) and every other feature I could use in the city is a joke. Parking? I can do it faster on the street and without trying to parallel park...

Any thoughts on intermittently or periodically turning on the heat so as to turn on the battery heater to prevent cold soak? I was wondering about using Stats app and scheduling to run the heater every few hours to keep the battery warm when it gets below 0° Anyone do something like this?

Anyone know if navigation routes are affected by standard vs premium connectivity? Meaning, if I don’t have premium, then I don’t have traffic visualization which means... navigation is ‘traffic congestion unaware’?

Filed under, ‘when I do something right, I never hear anything and when I do something wrong, I never hear the end of it’: I take 3 times as long to fix/fabricate something as a pro would and my wife never forgets. However, I get glowing reviews from her about the quality of the results...

$1700 to run 60A capable buried conduit and wiring from home to unattached garage. Included permits, new breaker panel and cutoff. I only have 100A service now and run the garage at 30A as there was a concern that running all appliances and charging at 30A with AC running would pop the main...

And I think you nailed the solution right there: we need AI/ML algorithms that allow it to receive various superhuman-level signals and interpret them quickly and accurately in order to build a coherent picture of the environment it’s in and what it should do next based on that.

Yes, LiDAR in iPad Pros and coming to iPhone 12 is ‘niche’ LOL. Tossing out an entire kind of technology out of hand is akin to ‘there’s a worldwide market for 5 computers’ (Watson, 1943) or ‘people will get tired of staring at TVs’ (Zanuck, 1946). The human brain receives, analyzes and...

This is a reminder to anyone looking to save some money and DIY that electricity can kill. The right combinations of voltage and amperage will kill you if it goes across your heart. Stun guns use thousands of volts at low amperage and the circuit is usually not completed across your heart...

Funny the lengths people are willing to go to for a ‘premium brand’ like Tesla. I’ve had BMW 3 and X3 series’ and fit and finish on those were above and beyond the M3. Oh, and they were cheaper too. Sure, electronics are great. Constant software updates are really nice. But, from a build and...

Great. So now I know why it works for him so well and not me. I guess if I had his commute, it would work well for me. But, I don’t so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Can’t use summon. Can’t autopark from alley into garage. Can’t handle many interchanges. Can’t drive under overpasses without freaking out. Can’t...

No part of Tesla gets that much focus from him. He has SpaceX and the Boring Company projects to name a few ‘distractions’ (let’s not get into his moments of Trump-like tweeting). He’s not Superman (or Tony Stark). He should be providing the vision and then selecting the best management to turn...

WTF? I could have saved 11% by not paying for a FUTURE feature that has a minimal guarantee of a 'greater than 0% chance' of performing as marketed? They could also charge an additional $10K for ‘autonomous flying’ and deliver capability ‘greater than 0% chance’ of doing just that. Hell, had I...

Here's a crazy idea... maybe Tesla needs to hire some coders with a little more experience with cars. It's 2020 and Tesla has had cars on the roads for years and has collected thousands of hours of data and they still can't figure out how to correctly manage traction control, anti-lock braking...

I’d be happy if cruise control worked when snowing or raining. Snowed in Chicago Saturday and couldn’t get cruise or AP. Hoping I paid for FSD that will be available in weather other than perfect San Diego-style before the battery needs to be replaced.

Love my M3 but wife doesn’t. AEB is something that needs to work as well as it does in other premium vehicles like the 2016 BMW X3 we had. Several occasions where there were sudden stops in front of us and the X3 came to a complete stop. Never had a problem with false alarms or anything so I...

I figured this out on my own when I first started driving in the '80's and have never understood how people thought being able to see the side of their car was helpful in any way — "I know what my car looks like, I wanna know where everyone else is around me" is what I'd always say when 'mirror...
