    Am I wrong in wishing FSD Beta had a lane change confirmation option like NOA?

    Even if they don't add the confirmation (which I would appreciate) they should indicate upcoming lane changes similarly to NoA (although I don't really love the way NoA does it-- you have to catch the visual at the right time)

    Smart Summon Drove My Model Y Into A Tree - July 2021

    I took this picture a few weeks ago, it seems relevant today. There is only one feature on this list that isn't in beta or preview status: Personally I think it is kinda scummy of them to keep hiding behind these "beta" labels for so long. The software is clearly feature-complete and in...

    FSD Beta Videos (and questions for FSD Beta drivers)

    There are other players in the self-driving space that are completely throwing out a human-coded policy/planning layer and going full end-to-end machine learning (video of driving in, action of driving out). For systems like this, it doesn't even need to perceive and segment everything in the...

    Tesla releases big, new software update with Disney+, Car Wash Mode, remain connected to wifi, and more - 2021.24.x

    The size of the "button" to open the frunk is smaller now. The tap target used to encompass the entire front of the car, but today I had to touch the actual "open frunk" lettering.

    FSD Beta Videos (and questions for FSD Beta drivers)

    @Chazman92 Something I'm really curious about is the behavior exiting long offramps. I know the highway code is supposed to be the same as in production firmware, but I'm curious if it slows down any differently. On prod builds, NoA moves the set-speed down in 5mph increments, so the car slows...

    There are still aspects of the feature that are useful for at-home washing. eg keeping the charge port closed.

    Elon: auto shift will come to all Tesla cars with FSD

    FWIW, the setting that controls HOV lane behavior is under the navigation settings, not under NoA settings.

    Spotify HiFi / Apple Music / USB / Best Quality?

    I use TeslaUSB, which runs on a Raspberry Pi. It emulates a USB drive, but can also be configured to automatically pull music from a shared drive on your network. It also automatically uploads saved TeslaCam footage.

    Autopilot resume speed after changing lanes.

    Keep an eye on the little set speed circle, it should indicate what the set speed is going to be once engaged.

    Autopilot resume speed after changing lanes.

    I've found that it uses your desired speedlimit+offset OR your current speed, whichever one is higher. In other words it should never slow down after you re-activate, only speed up :)

    Model 3 rolling away on door opening?

    If the car is in hold mode, in D, and parked on a backwards-facing incline, brushing the accelerator enough to disable the brakes but not accelerate forward does NOT result in the car rolling backwards-- the motor will hold the car on the incline until the brakes come back on or the driver...

    Did you PPF your new Tesla?

    I did a full wrap of xpel stealth on my white 3 both for the cosmetic appearance and because it makes it WAY easier to clean, without fear swirl marks. I did a DIY ceramic coating on top of it and bugs/poop slide off easily.

    How I got Boombox to take custom tracks

    Yeah, although it is in "toybox" I'd like to see this and some other customization settings get moved to the main settings. I saw a UI mockup with customizable accent color (replacing blue everywhere) and it was *chef kiss.* I'm OK with the sounds not replacing the existing sounds for...

    Tesla Working on Driver Monitoring System

    I do believe driver monitoring makes for safer highways overall, but I do not support the idea of using these systems to punish the driver. "Autopilot Jail" is dangerous IMO and doesn't make sense especially if you consider the self-driving systems to be a safety system. Why take away a safety...

    Tesla Working on Driver Monitoring System

    Not we, you. I do know. I'm wondering why you think it would at all be worse to make the driver look forward vs not. You really think AP is safe if you keep your hand on the wheel but close your eyes? (of course you don't) Ok, that's fine. I just disagree with you. I think you're kidding...

    Tesla Working on Driver Monitoring System

    I used OpenPilot on a Civic for two years and about 25k miles (system engaged) before I got my Model 3. I can tell you anecdotally that I feel like my Model 3 lets me get away with dangerous driving for way too long. All you have to do is hang your dead weight on the wheel and you can divert...

    How I got Boombox to take custom tracks

    Yep, I got that part. The problem is that it kills the music. I want media in the car and boombox sounds outside. I am unclear if something is wrong on my car or if this is just the way it is.

    How I got Boombox to take custom tracks

    I understand that. (I thought it was clear that I am already using my own custom sounds) My question is how to play music through the internal speakers and a custom sound through the PWS at the same time. It doesn't seem to be possible.

    Boombox Played Live Radio Station!

    There is literally an option in boombox to use "currently playing media". In fact, it seems to always play the same thing inside and outside the car. I can't get music to play inside while coconuts play outside, for instance.

    How I got Boombox to take custom tracks

    Is there a way to make the driving sound different from the current playing media? Mine will only play one or the other. I want my lightsaber driving sound while I listen to normal music in the cabin!

    Camera based Driver monitoring

    That's a hard claim to make if you haven't sampled the competition. If you think AP's current driver monitoring is "perfectly fine" (implying no room for improvement) then you clearly haven't seen what others are doing in this space. You should really give OpenPilot a try.

    Camera based Driver monitoring

    This is how OpenPilot works and it works very, very well. I honestly miss it. I find I was MORE engaged with the camera driver monitoring than I am now with AutoPilot. OpenPilot's DM is actually measuring your attentiveness. Currently the wheel nag is used as an approximation, but wheel torque...

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    My understanding was that Tesla registers the car Sorry, I was referring to the month and year stickers, not HOV stickers. I took delivery almost two months ago, received plates about two weeks ago, and haven't received a registration card nor the month and year stickers.

    Lane Positioning for Autopilot/Autosteer

    I get what you're saying, but that isn't what I'm trying to convey. On the same road, in the same lane, there is different behavior between left and right turns. The car should not be touching the lane lines in this situation. It feels like a calibration or controls issue, like a PID loop isn't...

    Lane Positioning for Autopilot/Autosteer

    That is a little off the point-- lane position during right turns is not correct. It doesn't matter where you find that lane: on a highway, on a city street, on a dirt road-- the behavior is the same, only the level of risk changes and nobody is arguing that.

    Lane Positioning for Autopilot/Autosteer

    I just took the first long trip in my 2020 Model 3 and noticed that it was centered on straights, but on right turns it enters the turn late and hugs the left, then unwinds a bit late and bounces off the right side before centering again. A few times on the trip it actually crossed the double...

    Post your biggest F&*# ups

    I took a turn too sharp pulling into a supercharger and curbed a back wheel. It went up and over the curb without any damage to the fenders, luckily. Just a tiny bit of rim rash. But that sinking feeling when you hit the curb... "Wow hellchris, already?"

    I am DONE with slow charging. Wired USB cables for fast charging.

    My Model 3 came with the wireless charging pad, but my phone doesn't charge wirelessly and there is no cutout in the pad to snake a wire through. I ended up going to the nearest SC and ordering the old version of the phone pad.

    I'm very frustrated with this. My car is running the same version and Fallout Shelter, Stardew Valley, and Cuphead all say "waiting for update". I opened a ticket and the technician tried to get the games to install but was unable. He worked on it all day and eventually gave up saying I'll just...
