    Tesla FSD Beta Release 10.5 2021.36.8.7

    Don't remember. I was on the freeway, so it didn't matter. I was just worried about the calibration.

    Tesla FSD Beta Release 10.5 2021.36.8.7

    I got onto the freeway immediately after hitting the calibrate button and it finished after only about 9 miles.

    Tesla FSD Beta Release 10.5 2021.36.8.7

    I recalibrated after about a week on 10.4 and didn't notice any change at all. That was the first recalibraton since I got the car in 2019.

    Tesla FSD Beta Release 10.5 2021.36.8.7

    I drove with 10.5 today. I can't really see much improvement yet. A couple of left turns were made with more confidence. Lots of the phantom braking. During one protected left turn, it tried to side-swipe someone waiting in the lane to the right of me. I had to be quick to avert a side...

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    I don't really understand the need for more superchargers in the middle of large cities. IMHO, superchargers are for Travelers, and should be placed outside of major cities. I also believe that, long term, there should be a couple of Superchargers at each Interstate Highway rest stop. There...

    Customer Service Rant - (Sorry...)

    I have had zero reasons to take my Model 3 in for service. But I will say that all these stories of deteriorating customer service are making me want to cancel my Model Y order and wait for improvement.

    Blog Cadillac Introduces Luxury Electric SUV

    I remember the concept/dream cars of the 1950s and 1960s. Remember the jet-powered Chrysler? I hope this is different.

    Breaking: First-Ever Tesla Model 3 Responding To Traffic Lights

    After a couple of hundred miles with 12.1, I noticed a significant reduction (almost elimination) of the ping-ponging effect. I'm planning a 400 mile round trip today using highways, city streets and a short stretch on dirt roads...that should give this download a good workout.

    Breaking: First-Ever Tesla Model 3 Responding To Traffic Lights

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Perhaps an "over reacting" Moderator is the one who is hurting the owners and members. I know that in today's society, nobody is responsible for their actions. Oh well.

    Tesla To Temporarily Suspend Production At Fremont On March 23

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I was stung very badly by the Savings and Loan Crisis in Maryland in 1985. I had many thousands of dollars in the S&L when the Government shut them down. It was almost 2 years before I got access to that money, less interest. I didn't pay attention to all the people taking their money out of...

    Percent or Miles & Why?

    I use percent because it is anomalous to the gas gauge. I use the energy app if I want miles for any reason.

    Dropping price of fuel.

    I can't imagine spending $60k on a car to save a couple of bucks on gas. I bought the car for the safety aspect and long term maintenance savings.

    Firearm storage model 3 [and other firearms discussion]

    The real answer is that the frunk is quite safe if you are only storing the pistol when leaving the car. Back on your person or just in the center console when you are in the car.

    Has your autopilot been spooked?

    Mine seems to "panic" whenever someone crosses perpendicular in front of me...turning left or crossing or entering slowly from the edge of the road.

    Unfortunately that probably means that the service center will be too busy to pay much attention to detail. I hope I'm wrong, my car is probably going to be in the middle of the scrum.

    I'm a little annoyed that someone who purchased the same configuration in the same area as I did already has a vin. Still waiting to get the vin, even using the source code "hack" that was posted.

    Moving to Florida Soon?

    We've been kayaking in the Indian River Lagoon for many years. We get up close and personal with manatees and dolphins. Wild alligators are harmless unless fed by humans. My wife and I have worked with alligators for years in animal shows and in the wild.

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum in Titusville. Destination chargers won't be installed for quite a while. We have started getting approvals for expansion and now we are dealing with relocating gopher tortoises before we can build the new ramps and buildings.

    New Florida Bill in the State Senate - Senate Bill 452

    I may be a cynic, but this looks like they may study this to death. Lots of "evaluate" and "identify", but not much "do it". I hope I'm wrong.

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    I have committed to donating 2 Tesla destination chargers to the museum where I'm a volunteer guide. We are in the process of expanding and when the parking lot expansion is done, the superchargers should be installed and I intend that they will be free to paying customers.

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    I went to my service center/store yesterday to complete some "paperwork" and was surprised to see a sign that said the nearest supercharger was several miles away from the service center.
