    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    One more reason we need map updates more often than we get them.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Geez NY is rough. They have these speed cameras, congestion zone cameras, gunshot sensors, noise ordinance - anti honk sensors and who knows what else.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    There have those wireless programmable buttons you can stick anywhere on the car that you cab set from a long list of things for it to do. I wonder if switching FSD would be one of them.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Noticed similar in my area. However, here at least the speeds only apply when "children are present" and FSD obviously has trouble knowing that it's in an area with a school and that children are present or it's during school operating hours.

    MY won’t recognize any flash drives

    My two year old Samsung T7 just randomly stopped being recognized. Format button greyed out. Tried all the different format options on both my Mac and PC and neither worked. Tied a reboot and the T7 worked once and then next drives not again. Not even with a reboot. Stuck in an old Sandisk USB...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    They’re still heavily pushing 11.4.9. Who knows when we’ll see 12.3.x at all, let alone widely.

    Front Parking Camera - My $150 / 15 min. installed Solution

    Shocking if that's indeed the case. Either way they do sell USB to cigarette lighter adapter cables.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I’ve had to disengage FSD on multiple attempts as it tried to enter the wrong and gated entrance to the local Tesla service location. Apparently it couldn’t or can’t see steel box gates. Too much air and too little surface.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I’ve had too many problems with 2 and 3 lane roundabouts on v11. If there’s no traffic I’ll let it try but it has never once done it once and it’s done some quite dangerous things a number of times. I usually with try a few times on each new release but it’s never been trustworthy even with no...

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    Isn’t the program is supposed to ending fairly soon. Why would they spend the time and money this late in the program and so close to end date.

    Vendor Wish you could reduce Supercharging usage? Looking for testers

    If you still need more testers I'll give it a go. I'm just up the 405 from you 20 min. I'm only charging off a standard wall outlet anyway so it'll be fun to try charging at something higher besides a Supercharger.

    Vendor Wish you could reduce Supercharging usage? Looking for testers

    Excellent. Helpful incase the power goes out or side benefit if you want to take it camping. The more flexibility and edge use cases it can support the better. I was also happy to see the solar input support. Also helpful. Hopefully it's a decent input. Most of these battery unit doesn't...

    Is the Ultra EV friendly? I seem to recall the older Pro's with associated HW had some problems charging a Tesla.

    Vendor Wish you could reduce Supercharging usage? Looking for testers

    Can it also provide 240V off the battery alone without having the 110v plugged it? Or is the 110v mandatory to get 240v out?

    Vendor Wish you could reduce Supercharging usage? Looking for testers

    You can get about 70 miles on L1 overnight. For those that need more this solution could give you another 30 miles or more by my calc. As is evidenced in other threads people are paying $10-20k to get L2 into their condo parking spots. This is a cheaper solution if you need (want) to charge...

    Vendor Wish you could reduce Supercharging usage? Looking for testers

    I think the advantage here is for people that only have 110v available and don't want to or can't charges at SuperChargers and do more driving than you can typically charge at home on 110v The unit charges during the day (at higher cost rates) and when you're home at night it switches to using...

    Insurance after accident

    Allstate isn’t cheap. Nor are they the most expensive. But you know you get what you pay for as well they say. I’ve have several claims with Allstate and they always go out of their way to be there, fix things quickly, and do it to my expectations. I’ve seen so many times people get company A...

    Trade in process at delivery

    My Audi A7 needed over $4K in radiator related work and was leaking like no one’s business. Take just took the keys and looked and the odometer. They even gave me more than I could get anywhere else. I got one hell of a lucky trade in.

    Insurance after accident

    I don’t know if you would agree but I’ve always been told that you want to insurance yourself for at least for your worth This would include any equity in your house , car, cash, investments etc. Likewise given that many people get raises annually it’s best to revalue your coverage limits every...

    Insurance after accident

    A policy that covered you above all your other policies. Ie car, home, boat, motorcycle, etc. You’re car policy may say max at $500K but the umbrella goes to $1M. It’s a generally policy above all your other policies and for higher amounts than you ca typically get with just say your car...

    Insurance after accident

    Been with Allstate for 30 years now. They’ve been great with all claims including a totaled Tesla that they paid me than it costs me. Premiums go up if it’s your fault but it’s reasonable, especially compared to the payout and it doesn’t stay in your policy too long. One time a decades...

    FSD Transfer

    No 3’s? Not even any old Models still in stock? Just plain silly.

    Mercedes approved for ACTUAL self driving in the USA. And will accept responsibility.

    Let’s not set expectations too high for those that haven’t been following the whole thread or reading the specifics otherwise. The L3 available currently in CA and NV is quite highly limited. I’d rather have my Autopilot over what’s available today for L3. That said I don’t do much driving...

    Front Parking Camera - My $150 / 15 min. installed Solution

    The OP model has a version with solar that looks much better. If you go through the thread there was several other low profile solar models. This version is kind of bulky and in attractive for my taste. Slim model with large solar panel. Not a plate mount model but others have attached nice...

    ~$17 a month for Digital Rplate

    $3 month a is now totally reasonable especially when you can get used plates for $300 on eBay and elsewhere pretty often. I might actually consider it.

    Chevy Bolt gets the ax

    You can also get a cheap meter that clamps over the cable. If that doesn’t work I’ve seen seen plug in 50A ones that go between the 50A outlet and the 50A plug.

    Chevy Bolt gets the ax

    Just come up with a reasonable flat monthly amount. Or you can compare the current month with charging against the prior year same month without charging. No need to charge only for exactly what is used.

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    I got a Tesla in Dec of 2019 and it was a 2020 model year. So you can’t go by the month / year it arrives. Likewise I got one in June 2020 which was a 2020 model year. It’s common in the industry for the model year to move to the next model year half way through the current calendar year.

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    With LA and OC in California switching their carpools to paid toll roads the stickers are less and less useful in that area due to stickers not being accepted on toll roads.

    Key Fob + Key Band

    Agreed. There are some very nice ones out there if you look through the hundreds of different ones available. I prefer the hard case designs over the rubber ones. They just last longer. Some can be quite minimal and clean.

    LTE connectivity issues

    Tesla charged me nothing to look it. But I'm warranty. Ultimately Tesla service said it's a known software bug and would be resolved with some unknown version. That was about a month ago. No hardware issues were found.

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    Plenty of the major chains rent Teslas by the day, week or month these days. Let alone places like Turo where you can rent from an owner. Lots of try options out there.

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    Not so much a dealer breaker for myself, but not my preference. I would pay extra fir stalks. I'm sure I'll get used to it after a few weeks. I would prefer to keep the fogs as well but I only need them a handful of times a year. That said they're super helpful when I do.

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    Isn't Highland supposed to be (somewhat) larger than current Model 3's. That alone would be an increase in metal, plastic and wire costs to get from one side to the other; assuming they didn't find a way around things. IE using thinner parts or unique designs that are stronger but use less material.

    FSD Beta 10.12

    Try and force a refresh again and see if it takes. Then reboot the car and try another refresh. Thankfully mine went off fine yesterday and my drives so far today were much improved. That said we still have a long way to go for each basic and simple street driving. Not slowing for speed bumps...

    ~$17 a month for Digital Rplate

    Reminder for people the wired version provides a lit screen but seems to have problems with Tesla without modifications. The battery version is great if you want to stay stealth since from many angles the plate isn’t even visible even with the Tesla factory plate lights. These screens are...

    There are multiple videos are eBay. It’s pretty easy. But you do need to snap off a couple of interior pieces and unplugs some cables. Basically anyone can do it.

    I really like Hansshow Ultra Mini Screen Display

    Those pictures almost make me want to buy one finally. It was be awesome if they had a basic editing software where you could drag and drop the elements you want and place them where you wanted along with some sizing ability. I would be sold if I could do that.
