    Software Update Any Problems?

    Twice in the past 2 days our NAV did something similar. Yesterday it said it was 2 minutes longer (3:04 instead of 3:02) to take a scenic 'diagonal' through the backroads. We'd save 30km and since the speed limit was lower, we'd save range (important because we still had another hour of...

    Lights are on and remained when car is parked

    They stay on until you open your door. Or if you open the charge port and close it the lights will go off. That is what we do, since we are parked in an underground parking garage and often are fiddling with the car such as changing the nav settings or the charging settings before getting out...

    Tesla app ver 4.34.1-2711 no longer showing charge stats

    Mine still has it (v4.33.5) Good luck. Hopefully you'll get an answer soon.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Every time I see a red tesla I think "I should have ordered red and not used the money on purchasing FSD. Maybe I'd be happier with my car." Except now I'd probably regret that I stuck with Multicoat Red since when a new Ultra Red passes me on the road, I think, "That colour is amazing. Not...

    Software Update Any Problems?

    We still have the same behaviour with 2024.14.9 and have noticed it for 9 months now. The advantage to UIV12 is that adjusting wipers is now a hands on wheel, eyes on road, action so, while I feel I no longer have auto wipers, this is the first car I've had with them so switching back to the...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I've never noticed that before but then again we don't tend to use FSD off of highways, so never see the map with such a enlarged mode where the lanes are easily discerned from the map. But I thought on freeways (and in the city streets too) FSD shows which lanes it will take for its route...

    "Person trapped in a tesla when battery dies" news story

    The concerning part of both reports is that they claim there was no warning from the car the 12V was failing (and in the case with the toddler, tesla confirmed no warning was issued.) So it isn't a case of the "little lady" not paying attention to warnings in the car, or "putting a piece of tape...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I lost the train of the conversation and felt elon's propensity to dribble drivel meant both could be used accurately in one sentence. But the context was Mensa dribble and to that end, I struggle to find a definition of dribble that fits, whereas drivel fits well. At least using...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    We've now driven a total of 130 minutes with 2024.14.9 not all on FSD vs 2024.3.25 (which had about 12 hours of driving using FSD). Both are V12.3.6. Yesterday, during driving in a town, the navigation was showing us as taking the oncoming lanes for the trip. It also showed us slightly in the...

    Waymo

    Again, you are reading something that isn't there into my comment. I never disagreed with your opinion that the Waymo was not driving defensively. I agree completely with your description of how you'd approach that intersection and would do the same. And I'm sure your friend was referring to...

    "Person trapped in a tesla when battery dies" news story

    My Prius had that too. And a specific place to put the fob against the dash to start the car. The salesman demoed it when picked up the car and at 10 p.m. in an emptying church parking lot in -30*C temps, I was glad he had! In my case, it wasn't the 12V that went, it was just the battery on the...

    "Person trapped in a tesla when battery dies" news story

    Re: child trapped situation Just a thought: While awaiting the arrival of emergency services, would someone with a coat hanger be able to pull the emergency release on the front door in this case? (Not in my car, as I said, I have access to that covered by a pocket bin tucked in there.) That...

    Waymo

    Actually... if this is the 'expert' you are referring to, what you shared is not clear that he was saying the Waymo was reckless. You ask, "what are your thoughts on this Waymo clip?" and he answers, "OMG that's reckless driving." Not, OMG that's reckless driving by Waymo." He could have been...

    Auto Wipers

    One dry wipe so far but we've just used the car for 100 minutes since the update to 2024.14.9 and over half of that was heavy or torrential rain. The auto wipers still didn't turn on for us (before the deluge hit) but that turned out to be good because my husband learned how the new UI worked...

    "Person trapped in a tesla when battery dies" news story

    Given how much my grandchildren touch buttons they can reach from their car seats (now that they are older and can stretch), it is a better plan to not have them the same as the front (mine front ones are under a 'pocket' that fits into the handle space there so it has to be slipped out to pull...

    Shortcut for Dog Mode

    Not at all what you were asking and I don't know which software you have but it is being reported the Dog Mode doesn't work with 2024.20.1, so if that's what you have, for the moment, be very cautious with this feature...

    Potential issue with Dog Mode in 2024.20.1

    This crossed my Facebook feed from a reddit post. Since Drivetesla is fairly reputable and also covering it, I thought I would share. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/teslas-dog-mode-not-working-in-2024-20-1-fix-coming-soon/ On Facebook, there is a discussion about whether or not a cat is...

    Not an AI issue specifically, but this is making the rounds through our local tesla facebook group because we are in the middle of a heat wave. I didn't see anyone mention it here or in the Software threads so I thought it should be shared. Dog mode apparently isn't working in 2024.20.1...

    Haven't downloaded the Dec "recall" update to autopilot

    I had to stop dodging it in April (car needed servicing, they thought they did the download and installed but failed somehow and tesla finally had me move to the car to where it could get LTE and pushed the two updates (by then I was behind two major updates) over LTE (except for the game and...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Just went out to the car to see 1. why it was showing "offline" in Teslafi since I should have been within wifi range on the driveway and 2, if the car had downloaded the maps overnight. It didn't show it was connected to the wifi at the top of the NAV screen until I touched the LTE sign...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    That's what I would expect if you have wifi at your parking spot. There's no need to tell the owner to go find wifi in order to update maps, it just happens. The only reason you are aware of other updates is that they require an install but games updates and maps don't so you don't see them...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Any chance that is highway 45? The majority of my incorrect speed limits are traced back to the highway numbers. The other place it does it for me is where there was construction with a lower speed limit for a while. Oh, and every single 'lower speed limit ahead' sign. It changes speed at the...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Something has changed completely with the way maps are made available and how Teslafi shows their install. In the past I'd get a notification, go off to connect to wifi somewhere, it would download and install and Teslafi would indicate what happened. For the longest time I had the really...

    Cruise Control Not Working

    You can switch to autosteer without stopping. Selecting FSD requires car in park. Switching between two driver profiles, one with FSD and one without can be done without stopping and as many times as you want during a drive (but has other issues like interrupting your music app, or changing...

    OTAs and Customer Service

    It doesn't. You takes your chances with subsequent updates as well. For three months I regularly updated (not my normal behaviour, I usualy put as much time between updates as possible) because I was really hoping to fix the borked wipers and stop the dry swiping. No such luck so I stopped all...

    Software Download Time?

    It is a mystery to me why tesla refuses to tell us the size of the file to be downloaded. I realize those of you with wifi at your home parking spot don't give a hoot. But those of us without that have to either 1. take their car somewhere with wifi (I use my local tesla service center...

    Is there a way to see which devices are requesting live location info?

    Looking forward to your update on the experiment. In our case, we figure it must be Teslafi. They are the only other company with our account access. Our adult daughter used to have the app on her phone (to track me when I was on long solo road trips) but I lost phone access at some point...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Thanks for the dark mode replies. I'll have to see if it is driver profile dependent or get buy-in from the other driver. One more thing to look into on the long cottage commute after we get the update.

    Do car thieves tend to ignore Teslas?

    If you go back to my original post you'll see that I have a tendency of leaving my black phone on the black charging pad and walking away from the car (and not noting the lack of horn beep to tell me the car is locked.) ADD is a curse. The first time I did this, my mental thought process was...

    AP/FSD related crashes

    I would have thought that too but the train crossing video cured me of that misconception. That crash, like this one, was caused by a poor supervising driver. In the train crash video the driver didn't intervene until it was blazingly obvious the car wasn't going to stop. In this case, the...

    Hmm, do you usually use night mode in the daytime? I haven't tried that yet but your comment has me thinking and during a major UI change seems like a good time to make the change. I do so on my phone but it never occurred to me to check to see if I can do so on the tesla. (I'm a week or...

    Do car thieves tend to ignore Teslas?

    Note: you can only track the location of the car on the move if it is in drive. If it is on a flatbed, it doesn't register its location. The majority of vehicle thefts in my city are heading overseas. A tesla without access to the mother-ship isn't really a tesla. No supercharging, no NAV...

    Autopilot vs FSD

    I paid $$$$$ for FSD when the car was bought. The only way I won't have EAP is if elon takes it away. Which I figure is better than 50/50 odds he will. Both Gigga and I don't want that to happen. As for 'in the future', there is no future for me that includes another tesla.

    Autopilot vs FSD

    I'm with you. Both EAP and FSD are ADASs, Advance Driver-ASSISTANCE Systems. I want something to assist me, not bully me into driving in a car in any way I don't want or abandoning me when it doesn't feel it can handle the situation. With EAP, I know exactly what it can do, its strengths, its...

    Challenges Backing Up While Towing

    You can turn on the rear cameras by accessing them from the onscreen app menu at the bottom of the screen. I often turn mine on after parking to see that I'm evenly in the space. Or when I'm driving in heavy traffic and want to keep an eye on the road behind me as well as to the front of me.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    In desperation, due to the promised better calculations of range, we downloaded 2024.3.25 in order to get FSD V12.3.6 while we were away. It appears to be worse than what we had before 12.3.3 for our use case but we really can't tell because we still can't use it for most of our twice monthly...

    Thanks for sharing the screen shots. Sorry your car was damaged. We had a deer run across us while using FSD V11.4.2 but my husband took over before the car could complain and the braking gave the deer enough time to get past us.

    Should I update from my 2021.4.18 since I have FSD?

    1. you don't actually have FSD, you have an FSD compatible tesla. I bought my car in 2020 but the first real version of FSD I received was V10.12.2 (part of 2022.12.3.20) in June of 2022. What you have is basically Enhanced Autopilot (so lane change when you signal and Navigate on Autopilot) and...

    Finally got my FSD trial - Major school zone issue

    Be prepared to takeover if it is in your lane, It often wants to pass in order to maintain speed.
  44. S

    Autopilot is useless on non-highway roads.

    Currently (with V12.3.x) the two pieces of software don't actually do the same functions. FSDS takes away TACC (to get it you have to un-enable FSD or change your user profile to one with FSD NOT-enabled.) To get TACC, you have to give up FSDS, which offers better lane keeping and NoA off...

    Manually avoid potholes

    This is why I don't use FSDb/S or Autosteer for the majority of my driving on city streets even once the snow and ice is gone.

    Precondition battery for supercharging before leaving hotel

    Entering full round trip is a good idea. You are more conservative than we are (didn't think that was possible). I don't know what our lifetime average is off-hand but our most recent drives were terrible. Winter tires are off but we have new summer tires. Our last long drive was almost 3...

    FTFY Steering and TACC control are assistance that I use a lot although I can't always with 2024.3.10 on my current monthly 3 hour drive because the car keeps reading the highway # as the speed limit. Use of it requires changing my settings, though. The ability to have it also slow down as...
