    FSD Beta 12.3 GA

    I enabled auto-speed control again this morning. Mostly I found myself using the accelerator pedal to nudge 12.3 to drive faster, which based on very limited testing seemed to work slightly better than doing the same thing with auto-speed disabled. Though I did find it awkward and annoying...

    FSD Beta 12.3 GA

    12.3 is definitely smoother than 11.4.9. Once it decides to GO at an intersection, it uses some acceleration which I like. However, it still messes up in the same areas 11 messed up. The most dangerous example being when two lanes of traffic are turning at a stop light onto a highway overpass...

    Tesla Autopilot and similar automated driving systems get ‘poor’ rating from prominent safety group

    The CNN and Market Watch articles are essentially rewriting a press release from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Here are links to the press release First partial driving automation safeguard ratings show industry has work to do. Their initial ratings Partial automation...

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    Unfortunately, it appears to me that when Tesla thought they were training an automatic wiper neural network to detect rain, they were really training it to detect clouds. It is a classic mistake. Back in the 1990's when I was studying Computer Science we were taught about an early neural...

    New Hampshire NEVI awards announced

    The NH DOT > EV Charging Infrastructure page added a link to this NEVI press release on February 28th, 2024. My understanding is the NH NEVI sites must support both CCS and NACS.

    NTSB update for Autopilot has me looking for an anti-nag device

    The thing I strongly dislike about the nag recall implementation is the cry-wolf BEEP that I often experience when I first engage/re-engage FSD. My habit has been to engage FSD on straight sections with no car near by, then adjust the max speed, then relax with a hand on the wheel. However...

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    I am currently on 2023.27.7 (FSD 11.4.7.3). I have definitely seen orders of magnitude more dry windshield wiping for the last few releases than I was seeing this time last year when it was a rare event.

    Distance Between Vehicles

    Following too closely for my reaction speed, if not FSD's reaction speed is one of my personal gripes. Closely followed by FSD's habit of braking for a turn long before it signals for the turn.

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    I believe I saw my wipers Dry Wipe while the Screen showed that wipers were OFF. I am on 2023.7.30. I don't recall if FSD was active.

    Wipers

    I was actually reasonably happy with Auto wipers for enough months that I don't recall which release improved them. Sometimes I had to force a wipe, but dry wipes were always caused by something obvious like bird droppings in front of the camera. (I could have designed a wiper UI that I liked...

    Prefabrication sure speeds things up! I deduce prefab from the QR code sticker on the side of the concrete, and the gap between the concrete for the two sets of four chargers in the picture.

    Can you set the place that you are as favorite destination?

    Disclaimer, I haven't done it for about a year, software may have changed. The answer is sort-of. You don't need to wait until you get there, and you don't need to KNOW the address. However, Tesla seems to use what it thinks is the nearest address. I zoomed in on the map and held my finger...

    Dog ramp for Model Y entering via rear side doors?

    I did not ever find a solution for side loading a 60 pound collie to the rear seats of a Tesla Model Y. Because of that, my wife will NOT ever be getting a Model Y to replace her Honda Pilot. There are two aspects to the problem, a stable ramp or stair, and training the dog. In search of a...

    Supercharger - Bangor, ME

    As of September 13th, 2023 the supercharger work had NOT started. If the chargers are going where shown on the first post of this thread, there was not any conduit run underground, nor even any trenching. The building was still on temporary power, though multiple empty conduits from a power...

    Beware of ordering Tesla in NH!

    If you picked it up in MA, you would have to pay the State of Massachusetts 6.25% in taxes on the transaction. Assuming you purchased the cheapest rear wheel drive Model 3 with a base price of $40,240 that would have been more than $2,500 in taxes. Unless they were quoting you more than $2,500...

    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    This may explain why my first non-binding estimated offer dropped from the initial $40,500-$43,100 range which had me salivating at doing the trade, to the current non-binding estimated offer range of $36,800 - $39,200 which makes swapping to a new Model Y LR far less interesting. I was told I...

    Anybody know a way to kill\lessen the upgrade nags?

    When I was postponing because I was trying to not overshoot FSD Beta, I discovered that I could simply IGNORE the update nags. I didn't have to manually dismiss the nags. As I vaguely recall, after I pressed the brake and either entered my pin to drive, or perhaps it was switched into drive...

    FSD 11.4.x experiences

    11.4.2 is better, worse, different, and unchanged. My observations after four days of use. Definitely not as stubborn about engaging as 11.3.6. The grey T is not always present, but much more frequently present. The paved but unmarked road I live on has a town default speed limit of 30 MPH...

    Best dog ramps for a Model S?

    Warning for Model Y owners. Though I own a Model Y, not a Model S, this thread inspired me to order a Pet Loader. I wanted to load via a rear side door. I followed the website's video guides, cut out a piece of cardboard to confirm my measurements, and ordered the Pet Loader Ultra Light 14.5"...

    Dog ramp for Model Y entering via rear side doors?

    I'm searching for a dog ramp that will let our 60 pound dog enter via a rear side passenger door. Unfortunately, that passenger door is rather narrow, and does not open as wide as my previous cars, which is making finding something that works more difficult than I expected. Instead of...

    Autopilot Improvements

    Welcome to owning a Tesla @maskinazi. I'm about one year ahead of you. The classic Autosteer is definitely programed with the idea that it is dangerous to drive anywhere but the center of the lane. One of the things that really struck me during my first months with a Tesla was that I and most...

    Can I install the new update or will it put me even further past getting into beta?

    If I recall correctly, I let the car keep nagging me about installing 2022.28.2 from September 30th, until FSD Beta 10.69.3.1 (2022.36.20) went to wide release around November 19th. Then I let the car install 2022.28.2. Not too long afterwards, though it seemed like forever, the car...

    The voting link Supercharger Voting | Tesla went to a 404 error page when I logged in using Firefox or Opera on a Windows PC. Though it did let me vote when I used Chrome on a PC. You would think by now Tesla would have it working correctly on all major browsers.

    Do you enjoy using "Autosteer on city streets" (current pre-release FSD) -- a poll

    I love FSD as a driver ASSISTANCE system. I rarely try to make it drive me the whole way. My home street doesn't have lane markings, and FSD often has a hard time figuring out the edge of the road. So I almost always drive manually down my own road. Then I hit a state numbered route with...

    Nashua, NH area. Where to go for routine 3rd party service? (Alignment, Clean and Lube Caliper Slides, Check Brake Fluid, etc.)

    I'm looking for places in the greater Nashua area where I can have my Tesla aligned, the brake caliper slides cleaned and lubed, and switch from snow tires to summer tires. Last weekend my Tesla started giving me a tire rotation alert on my winter tires. The car is almost a year old, so I...

    Vendor OFF-ROAD (aka Snow mode) for Model 3

    I have only a few days experience using Off Road Assist, so I don't consider myself an expert. That said, I think the main disadvantage of Off Road Assist is that the car will be slightly less efficient in that mode. If I recall correctly, Tesla used different motors on the front and rear...

    Vendor OFF-ROAD (aka Snow mode) for Model 3

    I run studded tires because my long and steep driveway tends to develop black ice when the melt water from snowbanks runs down and across the driveway. IMHO on ice, no other tire is better than studded tires. Off ice, most snow tires are at least as good, and usually better than studded tires...

    Model Y Review by a Hater

    Despite adding data to my console module, I also have a USB hub in the glovebox for the Tesla Sentry stick, and a stick with my music.. Is a data console module available from Tesla these days? When I upgraded my MYLR, I don't believe that part was available.

    Model Y Review by a Hater

    They discontinued center console data between when I ordered my MYLR and when I accepted delivery. Thankfully that one has an easy after market fix that I installed during the first month. I don't actually use those plugs for data very often, but would upgrade them again anyway. The price has...

    Buying from New Hampshire

    Probably decided by a Tesla Lawyer. My wild guess is that "accepts title to" might be the sticking point. With carrier direct, legally Tesla makes you pay and accept all their documents before they provide what is now "your car" to a third party shipper. I was specifically told the third...

    Buying from New Hampshire

    MA dealers sell to NH residents all the time. The dealer drives the car across the state line into NH, then takes a picture to document that they are "delivering" the vehicle outside of MA before completing the sale. No MA sales tax is due on sales where the purchaser accepts title to and...

    This is my first winter with my 2022 MYLR, which is wearing new studded Nokian HAKKAPELIITTA 10 EV winter tires. I searched for and found this thread because I was surprised when my rear end slid out two days ago. Though the slide stopped around 40 degrees, as did the car, it shocked me...

    Key card failed! A lesson to be learned.

    Addendum, cnick says they have a one year warranty on the rings and will replace my ring for $20 shipping. They also assert "that when properly taken care of, our rings can last for many years, even with daily wear." I think I violated their FAQ care instructions.
