    Full Self Driving without Assistance by this time Next Year - Musk

    I have FSD Beta and, due to my low confidence in the current version of that combined with Navigate on Autopilot, I still mostly use "basic" Autopilot on the freeway. I have not experienced any auto lane changes in that mode and if that is actually happening, please report it in service...

    AP2 & MCU1 - Does upgrading to MCU2 also upgrade AP2 to AP2.5 or 3, and does it enable sentry mode?

    The only thing you won't get is the full color side cams that came with AP2.5 and later. This only matters if you have FSD Beta.

    Safety Score "aggressive turning" factors not logical or safe

    The point is whether it makes sense, not how it's calculated. It does not. It's completely ridiculous. Nothing about the turns I've made could be interpreted as aggressive - or unsafe, because let's face it, that's what Tesla is trying so hard to show to the regulators it cares so much about...

    Brakes stick when switching to reverse

    The past week I've twice got into my car in my garage in the morning (after it was sitting overnight), powered on the car and selected Reverse yet the car won't move when I apply the usual light pressure to the accelerator. The first time I thought I'd done something wrong and switched back to...

    FSD beta for all?

    I got the same response. I'm torn between wanting it immediately and not wanting it until it's good enough so that I'm not disappointed :). Too many "phantom braking" incidents have taken the shine off "FSD" for me, at least for now. I'm still in awe of what Tesla has achieved and...

    Improve the Tesla Dashcam by upgrading side repeater cameras?

    They were introduced in August 2017 with the upgrade to the AP computer to version 2.5. So if you're browsing on EV-CPO.com for a vehicle on Tesla's site, you can sort by "AP 2.5". Or for private party/dealers, look for the build date. Another tell - the rear seat was changed as part of this...

    The MCU2 upgrade is now $1500

    Apples to oranges. Many owners with FSD and MCU1 encountered serious issues on a regular basis that, prior to the 64GB upgrade "solution", were not addressed consistently or satisfactorily. Many of us were getting the run around and completely different answers, depending on our SC. It is...

    Buying a used Model S...2015 or 2017

    What he said! I went through a similar analysis as a novice last year....seems like a lifetime ago after 6 months in my 2017 S! I'll just add that you shouldn't worry about the difference between AP2.0 and AP2.5 (which was introduced around August 2017) since both get a free upgrade to AP3.0...

    The MCU2 upgrade is now $1500

    Oh great. Happy for those who waited but Tesla, show some class to those of us who had HW3 and MCU1 and who felt pressured to upgrade for $2,500, before there was a $500 "fix" (for what it's worth) or a "maybe recall". Refund $1,000 without us begging.

    Anyone else with random blasts of electronic interference through driver's door speaker?

    Had exactly the same thing a few months ago and discovered this was addressed in an old thread. If you keep your cell phone in the deep center console under the main screen it can cause speaker interference via the MCU, which is located a few inches away. I moved my cell to the tray next to the...

    Purchasing a used model S

    Are you looking to buy from Tesla? I assume so since Lathrop is a primary storage location. If so, nobody can get access to Tesla's used cars (unless you know somebody working for Tesla :)). You buy "sight unseen" and your best bet is to demand to see the vehicle at your local delivery point...

    Holiday update, blue car color change in dash cluster?

    Ha, you attribute way too much skill and thought to the UI designers! I drive blue too. The new shade in the IC looks like a cheap GM or Ford. Before, it made me smile to glance at that beautiful blue metallic.

    Update Drought

    Was also "stuck" on 2020.36.11 with MCU1. Just picked up my MCU2 upgraded 2017 75 yesterday and they downloaded 2020.40.8 at the SC. I agree with Akikiki. MCU2 is awesome! Night and day.

    After seeing the FSD videos, do you think it will work well on MCU1 cars?

    Yes, but I think it's about more than just the visualization. Until Tesla gets to full Level 5 autonomous driving AND regulatory acceptance, the driver's IC is critical for visual cues. In other words, any FSD driver who is not fully trusting that their MS really "sees" what they see (and that...

    Ordering used 2017 MS . Difference between AP 2.0 vs 2.5 ?

    I just went through the same analysis and purchased an AP 2.5 hardware, October 2017 MS 75...but because I DID care about AP and FSD. So you are looking at this the right way - AP 2.5 is not an issue for you if you don't care (or put a $ value) on AP / FSD. The "technical" differences: 2.5 is...

    Complete MCU Failure

    Good luck and let us know your thoughts on MCU2! Getting my upgrade a week from Monday. Already had one appointment cancelled due to lack of parts - after I got the message telling me the parts had arrived! My MCU1 is on the fritz and I think my last call to service is what got me back on the...

    Used Teslas only 1 year / 10k warranty as of October 15, 2020.

    So they've just taken away $4k of value - ok, maybe a little less if you value the new 10k miles warranty at something. Which happens to be close to the new MS price reductions. Things that make you go "hmmmm"!

    Considering Model S 2017 75 RWD... any help?

    x2!!. I had what I thought was ALMOST the perfect car in my sights, a late 2017 MS75 with all the options, textile seats (which I love as they stay cool and I think they will hold up better), EXCEPT it had a sunroof which I didn't want due to the pillar and potential noise/maintenance. Glad I...

    Considering Model S 2017 75 RWD... any help?

    I forgot to mention....I narrowed my search to August 2017 production and later only for these reasons (as well as the 4.3sec 0-60): 1. Improved rear seat design 2. Upgraded radar = more forward visibility for Autopilot (not a lot but worth noting) 3. Upgraded side pillar cameras to full...

    Considering Model S 2017 75 RWD... any help?

    Yes, mine is one of those (October 2017): Agree with all the comments, it's a great car! Bought mine from a Ford dealer in June at 40k miles. 100% charge is 219-221 for me. Got the upgrade to HW3 and MCU1 now officially sucks. In fact, I was scheduled for my MCU2 upgrade on Monday but...

    Model S screen turning off

    Do you have FSD and did you upgrade to HW3? Any other symptoms such as increased screen lag, streaming problems, etc.? My main screen went blank and rebooted while driving a few weeks ago. Just happened once, but along with other signs of MCU1 stress and probably a warning of failure in the not...

    MCU2 upgrade possible after FSD upgrade?

    I read your post yesterday with a little jealousy and got the same message about an hour later! I was only on the wait list a couple of weeks so can't complain. Scheduled the upgrade for 10 days out. Can't wait. MCU1 has been horrible since I got my HW3 upgrade earlier this summer. Slow...

    Questions about Supercharging and selling privately

    Here's another data point. I recently purchased my used MS from a Ford dealership. It was traded in (for a Mustang!) by the original owner who purchased it from Tesla in late 2017, so it never had FUSC. The dealership, bless them, didn't pay much attention to their one lonely Level 2 charger...

    I want to buy a used S with free supercharging. Should I go Private or Tesla ?

    Tesla does not include it with their "CPO" (aka used) vehicles - just a 30 day free trial. With private, perhaps. Just purchased mine from a Ford dealer and so far my account is still showing "Premium Connectivity Free Unlimited". YMMV.

    Blog Musk Touts ‘Quantum Leap” in Full Self-Driving Performance

    And for those of us with MCU1, how many visual goodies will we get, if any? Or will it make our MCU experience even laggier than it is? The dreamer in me hopes this will come with an announcement of MCU3 and/or free MCU upgrades for FSD owners.

    Late 2017 Model S 75 with the base stereo and recently started experiencing a "crackling" sound from the driver's side windshield pillar speaker (like bad AM reception), when the AC/fan is running but the sound is off! Really weird. It will go for a few seconds then stop. Tried to record it...

    First, congrats on being on the verge of pulling the trigger! I just purchased a 2017 S75 with 41k miles after much agonizing but after I got in it for the first time, none of that mattered and I have the most awesome car I've ever owned! I'd vote for the 70D because, despite a Tesla's...

    Tesla’s Latest Software Release Includes Safety, Performance Features

    New and proud owner of a late 2017 MS75 Blue (no D but with paid FSD, so I found my personal sweet spot!). Totally love it but that's for another thread. Got the AP 3.0 upgrade 3 weeks ago (stuck with MCU 1 for now) and was just prompted to install 2020.32.1. It's installing so I can't report on...
