One heck of a rumor on Capitol Hill: Let's talk about Ukraine, Johnson, and deterrence.... Paraphrased: I heard a rumor, if there is a motion to vacate to oust Speaker Johnson then some Republicans will immediate resign, thus handing control of the House to the Democrats. This may have been...

If Trump is no longer pro-Putin then his minions supporters in the House didn't get the memo. Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked by fellow lawmaker's extreme Ukraine aid bill amendments https://kyivindependent.com/marjorie-taylor-greene/ Marjorie Taylor Greene: Members Who Vote for Ukraine Aid Have...

Beau of the Fifth Column suggested this is part of a well thought out master plan by Mike Johnson to take over the Republican party. I cannot come up with a better explanation. The timing makes sense since passing the FISA bill against Trump's orders indicates his power over the party may be...

Some hammocks, like this one, come with side panels to protect the doors. They are supposed to hang from the grab handles or the clothes hooks. I was able to rig bungee cords to hold up the side panels. Mine wasn't the one from Duluth but it was a similar idea. The hammocks didn't work out...

Sure, almost every person considers themselves to be a credible source. But that does not make them a credible source for others. If it did then everyone would be a credible source, which is ridiculous. The technical term for this sort of argument is "grasping at straws". Sure, there are...

Correct, but everything else you said is wrong. Every reliable source I have says v12 is by far the best version. You would have to provide a lot of reliable data to convince me otherwise. I've been around on this with other self-blinded haters. To anyone with even a smidgen of objectivity...

Beau of the fifth Column has an interesting take on Mike Johnson's flip flop on Ukraine: Let's talk about Johnson, Ukraine, and what's next.... Beau thinks this might be 4D chess by Johnson to take over the Republican party. Beau had predicted something like this might happen a few days ago...

"We can't play politics with this". Mike Johnson has been helping Putin by playing politics with this for six long months. He also played politics by nuking the Ukraine/Israel/Gaza/Taiwan aid bill that had the US border security package included which he had demanded. Maybe he thought he was...

This is old news. Patel's tweet about v12 coming to the 2024.8 branch was reported in this thread several times last weekend.

I got a Foam King Foam Gun. Works great! I imagine other brands are just as good. I often use a cheap car soap from Walmart but use twice as much. Still much less expensive than Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash. You still need to wash the car with a mitt or cloth. I like the garden hose foam gun...

Total bummer to have that happen. Saying it is unforgivable seems extreme. It's a car. it is not uncommon for things to go wrong with a car. The Out of Spec channel has been reviewing EVs for many years. Their standard procedure for road tripping a Tesla is to pull into a supercharger...

Believe it or not, WD-40 works really well. Tesla recommended it for other exterior black trim.

The Rivian owner made an excellent point: [The Rivian owner] asked Tesla drivers if they had received any notification from Tesla about opening up Superchargers to non-Teslas. Tesla should send out an email explaining that other cars can use Tesla superchargers now. Best to do it before an...

Agreed. Further, what should Tesla have done differently given that some people want to spend an extra $20K to get a Cybertruck ASAP and production is limited as it ramps up? People like Dirty Tesla and Out of Spec get their trucks early. We (or at least I) get to see their videos. Life is...

This seems unlikely. FSD v12 is improving rapidly. Tesla is still shooting for FSD to get good enough to drive robotaxis. Lowering the subscription price now makes sense but lowering the life-of-the-car price does not.

I guess I was right again. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

@paulchou posted a picture of Patel's tweet in a different thread: Tesla is no longer slow-walking FSD. They just cut the subscription price in half. They want everyone to try v12. There was a minor technical snag porting v12 to one of the firmware branches. Not a big deal and...

The US has had plenty of Nazi/Fascist sympathizers and supporters. Rachel Maddow recently wrote a book about it called Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism. Rachel Maddow traces the fight to preserve American democracy back to World War II, when a handful of committed public servants and...

Unless the world comes to an end soon, FSD v12 will be coming to people on the 2024.8 branch. I don't know exactly when but Tesla will keep pushing out firmware versions and they will keep improving v12. Both of these seem to be happening rapidly now. I think Elon surprised some developers...

He spent a small amount in legal fees compared to what he had to spend to buy Twitter. Committing to buy Twitter put the Tesla stock price at risk. This flies in the face of your claims that he is obsessed with the short term Tesla stock price. Having the stock 10x and getting the production...

This is very silly but I will try to explain it to you because it is also very simple. I am skeptical of Elon's precise predictions about the future, particularly release dates and FSD predictions. For example, I am completely underwhelmed by the announcement of an 8/8 robotaxi unveil even...

Tesla was already giving new owners one month of free FSD. Giving everyone else (or half/most of everyone else) a free month probably didn't sway any buyers who were on the fence. I guess you missed the news that Elon said their FSD training was no longer compute constrained which means they...

Did you need to go to the service center to get the retrofit? Or was it something they could do in your driveway?

Last year Kyle from Out of Spec found a Coda EV that had been just sitting for 10 years. The tires were flat, the rotors were rusted and they had to jump the 12 volt. With the tires fixed, the car drove and had 30% charge remaining on the main battery! It Starts, It Drives, And It's Ours...

I agree with a lot of what you've said but this is simply not true. In my 2021 MY, I'm still on 2024.8.7 here in rural New Mexico. My car does not have an FSD option in the Autopilot menu. Many others in rural America and elsewhere are in the same boat. I'm not complaining. FSD was...

April Fool's joke? The log function is the inverse of the exponential. Just like exponential growth approaches infinity (faster than any polynomial), logarithmic growth approaches zero (slower than any polynomial). Loosely speaking, search engines, data bases, the internet, etc all only...

Location is obviously not the only criterion and I didn't say it was. If that is what you thought I meant then I apologize for being unclear. Some people in every region will probably have a quick upgrade to v12 and some people in every region will have a slower upgrade. OTOH, I would be...

Perhaps the most important thing is to get mud flaps, at least for the front tires. Tesla also sells small pieces of ppf to protect the part of the car that tends to get chips from debris thrown by the front tires.

Agreed. I have a 2021 (hw3) MY and I'm on 2024.8.7. There are other 3/Y owners here also on 2024.8.7 who are from New Mexico and Tennessee. My guess is Tesla is holding back wide release of v12 in some areas while they work on improving how it performs there. They may even be waiting until...

Eight days ago Elon said their FSD training was no longer compute constrained. This means they need more data in order to advancing at the fastest pace possible and get the most out of all those shiny new computers they just bought. In addition, Tesla may be reaching diminishing returns from...

Perhaps you have confused me with someone else because I am certainly not making excuses for Elon and his egregious statements and behavior. I routinely call him out on his malarkey. OTOH, I don't get my knickers in a twist when he is over-optimistic about FSD timelines. I was pleasantly...

As I've alluded to before, I think Tesla is using the version hoop to control who gets access to FSD. They may be delaying the v12 rollout to places like Tennessee and New Mexico because it's not ready for wide release in these areas. I tried FSD v11 last summer but they made it very...

That makes no sense. If the size and quality of the testing pool works for them without the safety score then it would be silly for them to keep it or add it back in. The idea, posted by Hans Nelson over a year ago, was that Tesla is trying to get the right sized testing pool, neither too big...

I am confident ALL FSD capable cars, even those with USS, will get the free FSD trial. It will just take longer for some. We have to wait until they merge v12 intro a firmware version greater than 2024.8.7. IMO getting v12 ready for wide release was the hard part. Merging it into a more...

Shortly before the free trial announcement, Elon said FSD training was no longer compute limited. They are going to be getting a metric ship-load of data from the free trials. They are going to be getting a lot of edge cases and they will be getting data from regions where data may be lacking...

I must say, I am extremely impressed by Elon Musk, aka Optimist Prime, for this move. I thought it might take another month or two or there might be restrictions (there still may be). I am amazed and delighted this has started to roll out. I hope I get it before I make a 5 hour round trip to...

This is a must-read article from the Institute for the Study of War. Of course the people who most need to read it are the most likely not to. *** sigh *** Denying Russia’s Only Strategy for Success Russia cannot defeat Ukraine or the West - and will likely lose - if the West mobilizes its...

FWIW, my car started doing bizarre things about 10 days ago around the time it was trying to download 2024.8.4. The Spotify app stopped working and displayed the screen from whatever the previous audio app was. Even stranger, the car told me that my premium connectivity subscription had...

Good news! Thanks!

Two partitions should be just fine. I think what happened with the center console bug is few or none of their test vehicles had center console data so they didn't spot the problem with their internal testing. I got 2024.8.7 just a week after 2024.8.4 so I am actually quite pleased with their...

This got fixed on my car with update 2024.8.7. If you need access to your usb music sooner, you can use one usb device for both TeslaCam and music but they have to be on separate partitions. There are plenty of posts here giving instructions for how to partition a usb device using a computer...

There was a bug introduced in 2024.8.4 that made it difficult for the car to recognize usb devices plugged into the center console. It was fixed in 2024.8.7. To see if this is causing you extra difficulties, you could try putting some music on the usb device that has the custom lock chime. If...

Clearly it is unsafe if the driver is not paying attention to the road or to what the car is doing while the car is underway. To reduce the number of accidents when AP is enabled, Tesla must discourage this unsafe behavior. And from what you say their approach seems to be working. If you have...

FSD 12.3.2 was included in 2024.3.5 just a couple of days ago. IMHO preparing V12 for wide release is a much harder task than merging it into the latest 2024.x version. Part of the reason for the high price of FSD and the version hoops we had to jump through to get it was to restrict the pool...

For those who got the notification of a free trial: did you ever subscribe to FSD previously?

I'm sorry if my previous post seemed too personal. I hope you will accept my apology. I will try to do better in the future.

I am a physicist. I understand what you are saying and I can tell you there is no science to it. Waving your hands and saying "science" does not intimidate me. You seem to agree that in the general case there is no benefit to limiting the change in acceleration. So it makes no sense for...

This is not my experience when using kickdown mode or using the S3XY button to switch modes. In addition there is no advantage to significantly delaying the change in acceleration mode since the car already abounds with sudden changes in acceleration. If you have any actual experience with...
