https://electrek.co/2024/04/23/tesla-teases-uber-like-self-driving-ride-hailing-app/ Definitely signs that Elon is convinced that Robotaxi is 'coming soon'. https://electrek.co/2024/04/23/tesla-driver-arrested-homicide-running-over-motorcyclist-autopilot/ But then this hits the news.

Maybe Ford will license Supervised FSD and use Blue Cruise to supervise it. I told my friend that I no longer drive, I supervise (so a Supervisor). I guess then this would move me up to Management level. Maybe add GM Super Cruise to oversee both and that moves me up to the Executive level. LOL

Any takers at $8K for Supervised FSD? Very interesting to have used it to traverse a city and letting FSD navigate the many freeway merges, splits late last night. A human driver in front shifted a lane to the right then came back when he realized that he was on the correct lane. FSD kept me...

ABRP is more accurate.

And there is my real gripe. The car tells me I can get there in 2 hr but mid way, reroutes me to a SuC to charge, delaying me by 30 minutes.

For road trips, it could mean the difference in making a stretch vs FSD driving you back to the SuC that you just left. 😂 This is the reality until NEMI 50 mile DCFC becomes a reality. For some stretches, though, that will never happen.

I am trying out the free Supervised FSD for a cross country trips. Very impressed! Having cruise control make the drive much less tiring. Having Auto-Steer is another level. Having FSD is even more! But still 'room for improvement' as Elon puts it. LOL - When you set a destination, the...

Looks like Florida will be underwater in the next 4 years. I am thinking of Lemmings, the game. LOL

Glass roof is such a stupid idea. Anyone else have experiences to share? I am considering adding a roof rack but the glass roof is holding me back. Does getting Tesla roof rack + Tesla install (I guess that'd be $1K?) mean Tesla will take responsibility if the glass roof cracks? Is the roof...

FSD AI is devolving from additional training. Yesterday, I tried to let it drive and it was too hesitant to pull into the center/turning lane for a left turn. I pressed the accelerator to make it go (since the left side was clear and so is the center/turning lane) and instead of going on the...

https://electrek.co/2024/04/12/tesla-slashes-full-self-driving-monthly-subscription/ FSD now $99/mo, I would expect higher take rate for summer road trips but still not 100%.

FSD is learning too many bad habits. Today's drive was pretty bad so I took over driving instead. Leaving big gaps then speeding up to the car in front then slowing as it gets dangerously close to the car in front.

And here is an example of an old abandoned oil well. Though, in this case, maybe stick a natural gas generator there and turn it into a DCFC site. Anyone from Rivian seeing this opportunity for a Rivian Adventure DCFC site? ;) https://www.yahoo.com/news/concerns-grow-over-old-oil-020000971.html

https://electrek.co/2024/04/08/tesla-opens-wallet-settles-autopilot-death-lawsuit/

I am realizing that it is much safer to pull onto a road with FSD vs not. The computer can give attention to areas all around your vehicle, something that you cannot do unless you have 4 passengers, each watching out for their quadrant. Elon really should make a statement to the insurance...

Oh great, it's gonna get smuggier!

Affordable PCM tuned to 70F with 12-14 hr release do wonders to maintain a comfortable home. If would enhance your home as energy storage for solar energy by sending extra heat/cold to the PCM materials and release after the sun goes down.

Show your support for the fossil fuel industry by charging your EV with a diesel generator! LOL

I am focusing on 2 immediate problems... new car sales and revenue for FSD. I, for one, would trade in my <1 year old Model 3 RWD today if I could get the lowest priced inventory Model Y at today's price + $5K.

Tesla should raise the price of all vehicles by $5K and include FSD. $5K @ 100% of sales is more than $12K @ 20% of sales. We would likely see many of the existing owners buy a new Tesla soon after.

I guess the auto park did not have the correct condition at that time. I did see auto park today. Have not tried it yet. I am impressed with Supervised FSD. Did a stretch as the light turned green, finished my stretch and then my hands in the steering wheel a few seconds after the car started...

Another pretty good FSD trip. I noticed that my 2023 Model 3 RWD does not seem to offer Auto-Park.

I just got another update this evening. Must be the faster auto park update.

Yep, that's the thing. At $12K, that is $200/mo for 60 months. But the only problem (in Tesla's perspective) is that some people may realistically only subscribe one or two months a year for the summer and winter trips and most would not subscribe at all. I happen to be planning a road trip...

Having tried FSD v12, are you a believer in the value of FSD? Cathy Woods of ARKK is a believer in Tesla and has been buying more shares. Tesla stock is at $165 today.

My Tesla took me for a ride this morning. With a self driving car, my only worry is...

I just got email from Tesla about having Not FSD for 30 days. :)

Obviously, the residents of W Virginia do not understand the concept of Freedom Is Not Free. Their sacrifice is necessary to maintain our way of life. Thank you for your service. ;)

Does the Modle Y RWD charge at 32A or 48A? Just wondering since Model 3 SR+ is 32A while the LR is 48A.

https://electrek.co/2024/03/28/tesla-supervised-full-self-driving-language/ Non-Beta Non-FSD. Mission Accomplished! ;)
