I did not say the driving experience is not good. The flat torque curve with no transmission and smooth power application makes for a great drive. What I said was the software is not reliable. I stand by that statement. Maybe you believe that it is a good marketing tactic for Elon Musk to...

I am on 2020.28.5 and get plenty of phantom braking. No surprise since almost none of Tesla's software is reliable. Another prime example is blind spot detection, which is useless.

I am having the opposite problem. I get sentry events but no dashcam footage. Before 20.12.5, I got both.

I got the car back. Sure enough, my car is supposed to make an annoying noise under hard automatic braking. I enjoy driving my Tesla, but beyond that my experience has been a huge disappointment.

I brought the car to the SC today. I was correct that the brake actuator is the source of the noise. I was told the noise is normal, but they will check it out anyway. This is the usual response I get when I think something is wrong: "It's not like other cars, it's a Tesla."

How about a blind spot indicator that beeps when the signal is on and a car is in the blind spot, rather than just before you run into it. How about software functions that actually work reliably, such as high beam dimmers, automatic garage door opening and closing, automatic side mirror...

Mine shows up in the app when I move the range slider. It used to show up in the charge screen in my car when I moved the slider, but it does not now.

Thznk you for the suggestion. I did not observe the brake pedal. I will try, but the noise appears to come from the front.

I have a MS built in Nov. 2019, delivered Dec. 2019 with an F battery. I downloaded update 2020.8.1 early last week with no range change. Suddenly today my charge slider shows a max range of 388 mi and my car is now designated as a Long Range Plus. I am posting because I have not seen any...

After forcing the noise several times, my guess is there is a master cylinder actuator that is activated only on AP that is making the sound, which is a rumbling noise as if a piston is being forced into a dry cylinder. The sound sometimes also occurs when the car comes to a stop and the brake...

Good point. I had not considered that Musk was calling press conferences instead of paying for ads. You have to hand it to him, it is a smart marketing strategy, although at some point he may need to deliver or the media may ignore him.

I have a MS Raven LR without FSD. At times when on AP (which I use infrequently), I hear a sort of rattling noise from the left front when the car automatically decelerates rapidly. I cannot duplicate the noise when not on AP and I cannot consistently force the car to make the noise even when...

When I bought my Tesla last December, I was under the impression that Tesla was years ahead of the competition in software development. It now looks as though that lead is a mirage rather than a reality. Hopefully, Tesla's foundational rewrite of the autopilot software, if and when it occurs...

It would be great if Tesla would put an indicator in the rear view mirror, as most other manufacturers have done. However, a simple software solution would be to have a car turn red whenever it is in the blind spot and then activate the chime when the turn signal is turned on, rather than when...

Thank you Edruby. It appears to be as I feared; the tech's simply do not know how the BSD is supposed to work and are therefore incapable of diagnosing a problem. I do not understand how Tesla can fix a problem they deny exists.

I recently had the opposite experience with my 2020 Model S. I glanced at my screen and seeing no car in my blind spot, began to change lanes as I looked into my mirror. To my surprise, a car was in my blind spot so I continued in my lane. I find my blind spot detection to be extremely unreliable.

Edruby - good luck at your SC. The problem I found, at least at my SC which is in Tyson's Virginia, is that the SC techs do not know how the software based functions operate. I was told that all my sensors operate properly based on online testing. I asked how the online testing could...

I have my mirrors set correctly, but it is helpful to have a functioning blind spot warning as a backup. Especially since the Tesla blind spot is shown on a screen rather than the external rear view mirror as is common, having it turn red when a car is in the blind spot is important. The...

Here is another photo showing the turn signal on with the passing car in my blind spot, but no warning. The Tesla tech says the system is operating properly, but I do not see how he can be correct.

Thank you for your response. I should have mentioned that in each instance, the turn signal was on. Sometimes, the passing car turns red, other times it does not. I attached 2 photos, one showing the car in red, the other not. I am not able to discern a difference that would produce different...

I bought my Model S last December and have never had the blind spot warning work consistently. At times when a car passes in in my blind spot, the car and lane marker turn red. Other times with a car passing in exactly the same location, the car and lane marker do not turn red. I reported the...
