So what you're saying is that you were driving in a way that was going to imminently collide with another car, on the assumption that they were going to move the way you expected them to? The computer is right and you are wrong. What if they were on their phone? Lesson number two of defensive...

Dude... That's just the way the quoting mechanism works. I assure you I did no such thing, I just quoted the message and replied. This kind of paranoia is just a really bad look. It's a disagreement about a car.

No, I said that. Because that's how long a car in the real world takes to decelarate that far. And I showed my work. Physics is physics, posts on internet forums don't get to violate the laws of nature. And the fact that you seem to argue they can tells me that you're... well, you're...

Math. Look, if you really were about to get hit then post a video, the car has a 360 degree dash cam available at the push of a button. If the car merely braked hard and you let it, you weren't "about to get rear ended" and I think it's borderline irresponsible to say so, because it leads...

Can you just give it a rest? People were just disagreeing with you, not staging some kind of conspiracy to suppress your Extremely Important Opinions.

It was pretty clearly a wild exaggeration. The claim was he was going to get rear-ended, which certainly sounds like an emergency. Frankly I see this a lot: people experience hard braking for 300ms or whatever, and it's surely scary. But that maneuver changes your cars speed by 5mph or so...

Not it didn't. I'm sure that's what it felt like, but those numbers don't work. Best case braking for passenger tires on warm, dry pavement (and this is winter, and there's snow on the ground in VA!) is about 0.7G, or 15 mph/sec. Getting down 35 mph thus takes a little more than two full...

That doesn't sound inconsistent to me. They said they don't have it for you. "At this time" doesn't rule out the possibility that they shipped some cars with it in the past and might again in the future. They just aren't stocking it now. Tesla doesn't support CCS1 in North America. They...

Well, did you connect your car to wifi to let it update?

That's TeslaMate: GitHub - adriankumpf/teslamate: A self-hosted data logger for your Tesla 🚘 It's a self-hosted web application. Pretty trivial to set up for someone with some linux experience, but definitely a techie kind of thing. It polls your car data via the Tesla API and provides...

Not safely, at least without extra hardware. 15.5V is an overvoltage condition for lead acid batteries. Absolutely do not cable them together.

If those are actual mixed epoxy, you'll need to buff them off. Probably best to call the service center and have them do it since its their fault. If it's just a smear of an unmixed resin or hardener, it's just a thick liquid and elbow grease and a few rags should be enough. Don't use solvents.

Teslascope reports the release notes along with their tracking page: 2021.36.8.9 Official Tesla Software Update | Teslascope

Hm... from my perspective Tesla is doing this better. They came right to my house, installed the box and set it up with the garage. I've since added it to a different garage opener, and it's a huge mess to try to get it to work. I'd much prefer the "we install it for you" model to "drive off...

Whoa whoa whoa. No, stop. It's a bug. This is beta software. I'm as woke a white guy as you're going to find, but I write bugs in software every day, for a living. If I accidentally push a poorly-audited training set (to be clear: I don't do ML work) and the results show racially-determined...

Definitely seems like the 10.6 rollout is on hold. They pushed out ~4000 cars (based on 250 Teslascope cars and a conversion based on the fact that they had 673 on 10.3 before the rollout which was disclosed to the NHTSA as 11700 total) about 36 hours ago, and haven't done anything since...

That's consistent with previous rollouts. They usually do it in a few batches of increasing size. It's not a steady thing, it comes in waves.

Not that I would exactly recommend that sort of thing, but if you get clear video of this the internet would absolutely mob you with impressions, upvotes and start a giant luddite meme war over this. I'd genuinely be curious to watch, and I'm generally a ML/AI booster. But I could totally...

Mostly just cherry picking. Average US car gets 25mpg, average US gas price is more like $3.50, supercharging is 3x as expensive as the residential electricity that makes up the bulk of your charging. So yes, the typical Tesla spends far less on fuel. But if you're (1) in an area with cheap...

FWIW: reports seem inconsistent as to whether this is sufficient. There are people who claim to have gotten AP lockouts when running the old stack (e.g. on the highway, or with FSD disabled) and yet were still kicked out of the beta program. But you aren't the only one claiming that they're...

What would you expect to hear? Tesla telling you that it's OK to unbuckle your seatbelt or drive dangerously fast? If they say anything at all, it will be "don't do that!". No one is going to come out with an official statement that "AP doesn't detect this specific dangerous behavior", that's...

Did you try cleaning the cabin camera?

Right, but none of that involves reaching out to individual users having troubling and trying to find them individual solutions. They'll fix it when they fix it.

This is an open beta, and we aren't "tier 1" anything. They did the "tier 1" part back in the spring when they handed access toa few hundred influencers. By my estimation there are 23000 cars currently enrolled. I get that's what you want, but that kind of service is entirely unreasonable to...

That's... exactly backwards. The point to beta software (and yes, driver monitoring is new software under test too) is to put it in the hands of testers willing to try it and work around its foibles. It's not a product to be "supported" "for" the users, the users are supposed to be finding...

While it's true that Tesla doesn't actually do "model years", the VIN encodes a date of manufacture. And for reasons known only to the legacy auto industry cabals (seriously, this really looks like they took existing marketing practice and stuffed it into a number no one ever sees, sigh...)...

As of right now, highway AP is still the older stack, not FSD. You'll actually see the screen visualizations change as you enter the on-ramp and it will drive like it always has. And on all beta cars, the old stack in all circumstances is always available via software configuration. By...

I said "valuable". And I can't think of a more exciting bit of technology available today, I paid for it and love it. No one sells anything like that. I suspect you've been hoodwinked by the traffic jam peddlers into thinking their system does more than it can. And that's exactly the problem...

Be sure to record your own face at the same time. Are you absolutely, positively, 100% sure that you aren't (1) looking down into the cabin for more than a second or two OR (2) holding something in your hand that looks enough like a phone to fool the AI? Because that's what it's looking for...

You're saying that bluetooth audio for your phone calls is coming out the car speakers, but the phone is using its own microphone and not the car's? That's a weird, weird failure. Generally if one channel on a bluetooth profile is working they all will. But it's bluetooth and it breaks in...

$2000 Korean CCS adapters coming this evening to an eBay near you! Nice. Though not immediately useful to those of us on FSD beta, which is still 2021.36-based.

But... but... that's like ten minutes! 70% - 55% = 15%. 15% of 100 kWh is 15 kWh. 15 kWh / 80 kWh (your stated charging rate, though realistically it would be a bit lower beyond 60% or so) is... 0.1875 hours, or... 11.25 minutes! I mean look, I get that you were upset. I get that you were...

That's my suspicion too. They have some internal model for how rapidly the rollout should happen (part based on statistics about accidents, part marketing, probably some of it having to do with how they want to present things to regulators if there's another rollback, etc...). And every few...

It was a ten minute delay, though. This is what I don't understand. You've really never been delayed by ten minutes trying to get gas? Really? It was a holiday travel weekend. I can count on more than one hand the number of times I've been travelling at peak times and pulled a rental car...

I see a new batch (not a big one though) of new FSD enrollees going out on Teslascope right now. My guess is this is more 99+ qualifiers? Anyone with a 98 get the update just now?

No, I'm asking people like you to stop with the SAE absolutism when others want to discuss what makes vehicle autonomy valuable. You say that the "SAE taxonomy is not a ranking system" but then you insist on arguing on the internet as if it is when people like me tell you that FSD is wildly...

But there's equally a "HUGE" difference between a car that can reliably navigate across 20 miles of suburbs without intervention and one that lets you troll people on twitter if you happen to get stuck in traffic on one of the dozen or so blessed highways. The former is worth $10k to me, the...

Gah, no. You are the one doing that, because you are here on this forum making arguments above about product value based on reference to antiquated SAE categorization rules. And you won't accept arguments to the contrary by reference to those same categories! It's all circular. I mean, if...

Wow. I literally followed that sentence you quoted with a paragraph containing an example and explanation. All I can do is repeat it with fewer words and hope you read it this time: Tesla FSD is wildly more capable than any autonomy solution available to the consumer. Yet it remains "level...

To be clear: they don't do this on a per-user basis. They batch in newly-qualifying accounts every few days or so (maybe 4-5 days or so on average). You can watch at Teslascope for this to happen, you'll see a flurry of new updates on specific days. Here's the 2021.36.8.8 page, they haven't...

Aren't you the one applying circular logic here? The upthread point was that the SAE system doesn't provide meaningful value when comparing real systems in the real world (c.f. the OSI Networking Stack, which everyone thought was The *sugar* in the 70's, but which turned out to be completely...

1. Make sure you're on recent (post-September) firmware, but you surely are. 2. Go to Autopilot settings, and choose to enroll in the FSD beta queue 2a. Time was, this would then send you a new update with Safety Score support for which you had to wait, but I think that's part of general...

The refreshed S is one of the most popular cars in its price class, one of the most famous vehicles in the world, and has been in the market for six months now. I'd be really surprised if the valet staff at any reputable facility wasn't familiar with it. They get hundreds and hundreds of cars...

That's just regular autopilot jail. It's a feature of the production system too, though now it involves more reliance on the cabin camera and not merely the wheel nags. Current understanding is that after three of those events, you'll be ejected from the beta program entirely (though data...

They're on a roughly two week cadence. So December 6th or thereabouts.

I quipped only after the third reply. Let me apologize. But the confusion is genuine. I really don't understand what had you so upset. Can you maybe condense this down to 2-3 sentences and explain how other vehicles don't experience whatever unreliability you saw? Because I don't see it...

FWIW: I've never heard of "loaner rims". Does anyone do this? Does Tesla elsewhere? I mean, this isn't a $200k Mercedes with a gold-plated roadside service plan. You broke down and got a tow like the rest of us.

Yeah, pretty much exactly. The SAE just invented some numbers at some point, those things do very little to categorize products as they evolved in the actual market. I mean, there's a huge, huge, HUGE gap in capabilities between 1970's cruise control and modern Tesla FSD 10.5, yet both are...

I still don't understand what the complaint here is. You had to leave three hours early to catch a flight and are freaking out that you had to spend ten minutes longer at a charger than you expected. That just doesn't seem like a rational assessment of your problems.
