I'm on 2024.8.9 Will 2024.8.9 need to be updated to something else via over the air update? Will I get an email? Do I need to check for it on the Tesla website? Will there be a Tesla app message? Will there be a message on the screen and where will it be? Will I not get it because I've...

I like this list, especially the last four and I WILL use them. I think the issue is upon returning to which I say "from past Ike experience they will not let you back in until everything is safe and electricity is available".

definitely $50/month

I like and agree with all your comments especially "it's the best car vehicle I've ever owned". I've stopped trying to convince anyone, unless asked. the idea of switching from the environment and climate change to one's health is something that only recently occurred to me.

I agree SO16. that has been exactly my sentiment since GM's EV1 and before.

I know, I know, I know the haters will say but electricity comes from those places that generate electricity.

A lot of people question the popular climate change narrative. And sustainable energy is too far in the future for them to care. But the one thing they/we are certain of is cancer among our friends and family. To be honest the term sustainable energy/ future in my mind I just associated it...

I don't see this as a problem for a couple of reasons: . 1. If electricity is out we are not getting gas either unless gas pumps are running off of generators. 2. We have a 12,500 KW generator with a big propane tank to fuel it.

Having just watched a lengthy documentary about the Game Stop situation in early 2021 its concerning how much big hedge fund companies can negatively influence stock prices. In consideration of how the success of Tesla can absolutely devastate auto companies and energy corporations I'm...

Made my first comment on Facebook about how good my Tesla over the past 2-1/2 years has been on saving fueling costs and driving pleasure and lack of range anxiety. Plus I had to say (telling the truth) I'm not a liberal but a Trump supporter otherwise my comment would be ignored.

ClimateOptimist, I dont consider my self as climate activist but I will say that the shipping and processing of crude oil into gasoline is dangerous and unhealthy. Consider all the crude oil drilling, transportation accidents and the refinery accidents that have killed people and harmed...

Yes! yes definitely.

no, its not a whirring noise.

just surprised its not there yet. surely they are not going to charge extra for it?

I think you are correct that auto pilot is steering by wire. but I think it's different now from a control loop analysis. Without variable turns ratio, the output to the control element (steering actuator) is linear with respect to the error (difference in where the car needs to be versus where...

I've just learned that the Tesla cybertruck at this time does not have autopilot. One speculation is that it is because the CT's steer by wire innovation. Thinking about this further it could be autopilot software is more complicated because of CT's variable turn ratio. That is just driving down...

seems like it stopped when an upgrade said that the driver would be notified if its location was asked for on an app.

yeah, it seemed to stop working about the time Tesla said the driver would be notified when the car's location was being asked for. Guess I need to pretend I'm her and see if permission to locate comes up somewhere.

this is great news. Thank you all cabin heat -off, definitely no sentry, and anything else.

There is a place on our weekly commute on a newly constructed freeway where autopilot slows from 65 mph to something slower. I think it is a remnant of a location that required slowdown before the construction was finished. It would be good if Tesla could update these places. its been over two...

I like the banjo looking symbols on either side of the word TESLA. Please no "dueling banjos" played inside.

it would be good to have a tutorial about all the ways to prevent battery drain while being parked. Case in point parking at airport parking in the summer. Had to drive my gasoline car 140 miles roundtrip in Houston traffic (ba Humbug) because I could not trust Tes sitting for two weeks in...

Had to put some gas in the truck which I seldom drive any more and was shocked that it cost $40.00 for only 11 gallons of gas, to fill it less than half. Down here in Texas thats probably cheap compared to California and other places. Some day soon I'll get around to calculating how far my...

you are right, I think about it next time

There are earlier adopters and there are "never adopters". I live in oil country where virtually everyone is a "never adopters" including friends, family' and everyone I run into. Now that the media is back on the FUD I've re-evaluated my strategy when explaining why I have a Tesla. First...

An accident, thats a very good point. and one thing that truly bothers me is that of getting used to it stopping at red lights. last week we had to drive gas car to church. When we came out an hour and a half later the car was still running. forgot that I had to turn it off. will that...

Seeing some recent YouTube videos of how well FSD is working and from my own limited driving on a one month subscription I'm wondering about continuing with a subscription or buying it outright for $15,000 for future reselling of the vehicle. I know predicting the future is difficult but lets...

I've often wondered what the Tesla stock price would be if the detractors were not manipulating the stock price to keep it down. Granted, some were just doing it as normal day trading activities. But, it seems suspicious that on days of Tesla successes the stock would go down.

Thanks you guys, I have mis-interpretied the "unable to brake" message.

and asks me""What's wrong?" I've never heard of that?

Is it possible to increase the speed that Tesla will emergency brake. On the long stretch of freeway speed limit is 55MPH while traffic is consistently around 75MPH. It is ridiculous to drive only 60MPH in this situation, but above 60MPH (55+5) I get the warning will not Emergency Brake...

Thanks JB for the encouraging feedback. I just had to ask since I'd seen so many people saying they really enjoyed it. My first mistrust of it was while sitting a a red light with a big truck several feet in front of me. I just couldn't trust that my car could see the approaching traffic...

Is it possible to get auto lane change without paying the full $199 price of a FSD subscription?

After trying FSD Beta for the first time I subscribed to FSD for a month and after trying it out it's crazy good. But it is alarmingly fast at making moves like accelerating from a red light turning green, it catches me by surprise. It goes through "stale yellow" lights that turn red before...

I can understand the logic of taking out radar because having radar and vision together in the control system complicates its software. Now I will pull from my knowledge of safety systems in the hydrocarbon processing industry. There are two independent systems one for controlling the...

I have concern that the extra large, nearly horizontal windshield will let in too much heat in these hot 100 degrF heat summer days. Anyone else concerned about this

On the far southeast side of sprawling Houston in League city there is a new showroom that is replacing a BMW facility. Is this a sign of things to come? well maybe, but I like it. Particularly it beats taking your life in your hands to travel 50 miles in congested houston freeways and all...

BitJam, thanks for the advice of going to the thread(s) that discusses slowdowns and phantom braking. I will do it.

Never had a hard brake type of phantom braking, only slow downs that are always in the same spot in the relatively new revamp of the freeway. Also on a newly constructed beltway with very little traffic. speed limit was 70mph and TACC was limited to 30 mph for long stretches. mine was...

BitJam, I use auto pilot ALL the time and am about to wear out the stock by constant double tapping. I can't imagine steering a car all the way to North Dallas from south of Houston. Auto Pilot takes a lot of the stress out. I just got Beta tonight and anxious to try it. BTW, what's up...

my 2023.20.4 did not get FSD Beta for me on 6/28/23. (the night before my trip) bummer. Tonight after returning from trip 2023.20.7 finally downloaded and I got Beta. so maybe it will for you too. Good luck! Even if you don't get Beta you will love the Auto lane change on NOA.

I really could have used FSD beta for the purpose of getting into the correct lane to exit. the problem with road trips to to and through unfamiliar cities is that signage and nav announcements get confusing at 75 MPH in heavy traffic and the (^&*$@%=!)locals won't give you a break to get into...

yeah, and swear under my breath when she would not let me get it when it was $6000.

I tried to get FSD Beta by subscribing, was on 2023.20.4 and had a 7hour roadtrip to Dallas and back. I only got Navigate on Autopilot and traffic light and stop sign control. the Lane change worked great, worth $200 for the route trip?, maybe. Traffic light and stop sign control? why was...

I could not get sentry mode turned off from the app, tried about a dozen or more times with no response. I was called away so I left it and forgot to come back. It was about 4 days. Car was in my garage and I was in there frequently during the day, probably triggering it. So, what happens...

much thanks vcor, that makes sense.

This is my wife's only complaint on our Tesla. Ironically it seems to happen when she is showing the Tesla to someone or giving them a ride. I have this too and have thought its a function of the orientation of the phone in my pocket. My phone which has a pretty thick case protector and...

Don't misunderstand, I'm not challenging any of what you said and I thank you for the advice in case of a Tesla fire. I remember in my 1963 high school chemistry class the teacher, Mr. White, in order to demonstrate the volatility of lithium, brought a thin strip of lithium (much smaller than...
