    Tesla recalls 362,758 vehicles says full self-driving beta software may cause crashes

    FSDb waits to adjust speed until it just comes to the sign, rather than adjusting speed an advance when the sign is in view, as a human driver would. You can see how the maximum speed indicator changes just as the car passes the sign.

    Tesla recalls 362,758 vehicles says full self-driving beta software may cause crashes

    This was my worry as well, when I saw the article. In many areas, you will get run down if you drive the speed limit, even in the right lane. I got a traffic ticket one time for driving too slow, because I was driving at the speed limit when the flow of traffic was greater than the posted speed...

    Set autopilot speed with voice command

    Are there any voice commands to set the maximum speed for autopilot or FSD? If it matters, I have FSD beta. I know I can adjust the speed with the scroll wheel. But I would like to be able to use voice commands like "Set maximum speed to 60" or "Reduce maximum speed by 5".

    Feature Request. Thoughts?

    Yes. This is the Tesla equivalent of opening the car door with the key in the ignition. Someone could easily steal your car.

    Cancel turn on FSD beta

    FSD beta often changes lanes in stange ways. It will change to a slower lane. It will change to the left lane when it is close to a right turn (and vice versa). Is there a way to override an imminent lane change when it signals that it is going to change lanes?

    Door closes very hard

    On our 2021 Model Y, the doors autoclose really hard on their own. The open door will not stay open and it slams itself really hard on your arm or leg while you are trying to get out. This is particularly a problem in a parking lot or garage where you don't want to hit another car. My wife is...

    Navigate on Autopilot missing with FSD beta 10.11.2

    Yep. That was the issue. Interestingly the update reset most of my profile settings, but it did not change my wife's settings. Thanks.

    Navigate on Autopilot missing with FSD beta 10.11.2

    I got the update to FSD beta 10.11.2 a few weeks ago. Since then, the button to turn on Navigate on Autopilot has disappeared. With 10.10.2, the button had shrunk, but now it is gone completely. As a result, when I enter a destination and double tap the stalk, FSD handles the city streets, but...

    Why didn't the car go into Park Automatically here?

    This is a very helpful insight. I also have noticed a second after the car hits 0mph before the click indicating hold mode is on. My first guess was that the OP had the car set to Creep mode rather than Hold mode. But if Hold does not engage for a second and he was on a slight slope, there...

    Emergency vehicle siren

    Yes. Elon said FSD would respond to sirens in July when we were on Beta 9. I had the impression that tge feature had been implemented already. This is a basic rule of the road. Everyday there is a new surprise with FSD beta.

    Emergency vehicle siren

    I am using FSD beta 10.10.2. I was the lead car stopped at a signal in heavy traffic. A fire truck with siren wailing and horn blaring came in the same direction and drove around the stopped cars on the left then then made a right turn at the intersection. The light turned green and FSD decided...

    2022.4.5 Autopilot Regen Breaking is Excellent

    Why should that be the case with FSD, when a human driver can easily come to a complete stop by letting up on the accelerator? If anything I would expect software to be able to modulate speed efen more smoothly than a human driver. Does the brake actually engage to finish the stop in 1-pedal...

    Not getting any software updates??

    I'm in the same boat. I can't tell if my WiFi connection is the problem, such as a blockage with my firewall. This is very frustrating, particularly since FSD beta 10.10 seems to be much safer. I've never seen any other software that takes so long to get an uodate for after it has been released.

    Car suddenly jumped out of lane in autopilot

    Yes. I wish that it would just require contact with the wheel, not slightly turning it. It has broken free several times, when I hit a rough spot in the road. The way I wish Autopilot worked was that it would consider you attentive if either of the following happened: (1) driver has eyes on the...

    How to abort user-initiated lane change in NOA

    When using Navigate on Autopilot, you can initiate a lane change by turning on the turn signal. How can I cancel this lane change if I change my mind before the car has started the lane change?

    80mph Limit of Autosteer

    I find the 80mph limit on Autosteer annoying. Several states have this or higher speed limits on freeways and traffic often moves faster than 80 on many highways. Is the 80mph speed limit on Autosteer temporary until they refine the vision-only Autopilot or does it look like a permanent...

    Can Autopilot be set to adjust following distance based on speed?

    When you adjust the wheel for following distance, it indicates displays icons for a certain number of cars, which suggests that it will follow this number of car lengths. Is that meant to be a relative indication of near to far or an actual number of car lengths?

    Autosteer drives too close to transport trucks

    I grant that drivers often overcorrect when passing trucks. But trucks can unexpectedly drift out of their lane, particularly in California, where freeway lanes are narrower than other states. Sometimes the car recognizes that it is too close to the truck, because it starts screaming about the...

    Can Autopilot be set to adjust following distance based on speed?

    Any driver's school will tell you that your following distance should be longer if you are driving more rapidly, since it will take you longer to brake. Does Autopilot take the vehicle speed into consideration and adjust to a longer distance to the next car or is the following distance...

    Autosteer drives too close to transport trucks

    On the freeways within cities, I find that Autosteer often drives too close to transport trucks. It appears to try to keep in the center of the lane, but sometimes the transport truck in the adjacent lane will drift close to the line or even over the line. A human driver in such a situation...

    Car suddenly jumped out of lane in autopilot

    All I would expect is that when the car crosses an intersection, Autosteer would maintain its path into the lane continuing on the other side. Usually Autosteer does this brilliantly, but this one time the car freaked out and did not know where to go. It felt like the rear end had a different...

    Auto pilot not adjusting to speed limit?

    It is super annoying that the car does not slow down until it passes the lower speed limit sign. A prudent human would start slowing down as soon as they see the sign, so that the vehicle speed is right when passing the sign. I have been on many highways that pass through small towns and the...

    FSD and Autopilot adjust for yellow road signs

    I get the impression that the Tesla does read the signs. On a winding road in my neighborhood, the car seems unaware of the speed limit for the first half mile, until I pass a sign and then the speed limit indicator pops up. On a recent drive from Arizona to California, when I entered...

    Car suddenly jumped out of lane in autopilot

    Last night my MYLR was driving on autopilot with autosteer on a busy multilane secondary road. It was tracking the middle lane and traffic speed perfectly at about 50mph until suddenly the car lurched sideways out of its lane in the middle of an intersection. It was the bizarrest feeling and...

    FSD and Autopilot adjust for yellow road signs

    I have a MYLR Sept 2021 build with 2021.36.5 firmware. I have pue vision Autopilot, but not FSD. When using Autopilot on a highway, it ignores yellow signs with recommended speed on curves and orange speed signs in construction zones. It does not slow down unless there is a white speed limit...

    ABRP radically underestimates cost to charge

    When I was considering getting an EV, I used ABRP to calculate the relative cost. This radical underestimate in cost made me think I was going to save a lot more on trips than I am in reality. For this particular trip from Phoenix to Southern California the price of supercharging was pretty...

    ABRP radically underestimates cost to charge

    I just completed my first road trip (800 miles). I was very pleased with how easy it was to get charged. I did not find the EV an inconvenience or to as much trip time as I expected. However, the charging cost was much greater than expected. The actual supercharger cost was 3 times the...

    Forcing update

    I have had my MYLR for several days, but it has never offered a software update, despite the fact that the version I have is out of date. I am surprised that the delivery team does not update the software before delivery. When I get a new computer or phone, one of the first things I do is update...

    Charging stops when I open the door

    When I am charging with the travel connector, if I open the door the screen immediately drops to 0 mi/hr charge rate. When I close the door the charging number jumps back to where it was. Is this normal? Does the charging actually continue without updating on the screen?

    Using app without Bluetooth

    Is it possible to use the mobile app to remote start the climate control and do other car functions without Bluetooth on? If I don't want to use the phone as a car key, can I use other functions of the app through cellular? As a rule I don't leave Bluetooth on in my phone in order to save...

    Mobile app on multiple phones

    My wife and I both will drive the car, so I want to put the mobile on both of our phones. How does the car know which driver profile to select if we are both in the car in the same time? If one of us unlocks the car with the keycard, is the driver profile associated with the key card? It...

    FSD with new car or buy after

    I ordered with FSD, but I am thinking of taking it off the order and adding after delivery. If I get FSD with the car will that raise my insurance rate? Does adding FSD later stay with the car when selling it privately? Does a new Tesla that includes FSD come with the window sticker...

    Wiki Teslike Model Y Survey & Order Tracker Spreadsheet

    Does a new Tesla that includes FSD come with the window sticker (Monroney sticker) that includes FSD and its purchase price? This would seem to be of value when trying to resell the car later, since adding FSD after the fact may jot transfer with the car.

    Electrician East Valley of Phoenix

    Tesla surprised me by suddenly emailing me that my Model Y is ready, when my EDD had been January. I thought I had a lot of time to install a charger. Does anyone you have recommendations and experiences with electricians in the East Valley (Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe Arizona)? Thanks.

    Adapter for RV Park

    Does the Tesla NEMA adapter bundle include an adapter for use at RV parks? Is the 50A 220V adapter a NEMA 14-50? For the 30A 120 V socket that some have, what is the correct adapter? I thought is is TT-30, but I don't see that in the Tesla NEMA adapter bundle.

    Blue with white interior LR. I just got the text for delivery time, so its real. They only give me one choice - Monday afternoon, which I can't take due to a work commitment. It is delivery to my home. It is irritating that they aren't more flexible. I would be quite willing to drive to North...

    Current Delivery Times

    Thanks. I was just way too curious. Now I have to persuade my wife that its a good idea to go ahead with it. I put down the deposit to hold a slot since deliveries were not coming for 4 or 5 months. Suddenly after only 4 weeks the moment of decision is here!

    I couldn't resist. I clicked the blue button. II have a VIN and an estimated delivery date of September 23-28. They are asking for bank account information for the payment. Is this normal? Does this mean they will initiate an ACH bank transfer for payment? I expected I would need to bring a...

    Range calculations and towing

    When you are starting a trip, I understand that it could not know the weight of your payload/trailer and driving style. But after charging on a roadtrip, I would expect it to make an educated guess of range, assuming the same driving parameters. Otherwise it is really hard to know where you...

    Range calculations and towing

    It is very helpful to know that the range estimate recalculates based on how you drive. Does the recommended supercharger location in navigation planning change to take the actual kWh/mileinto consideration?

    Regenerative braking on icy roads

    I absolutely agree that the driver should have this option. Predictability is very important on snow and ice. If regen is on sometimes and off or reduced at other times, this does not make handling predictable.

    Data from drivers when FSD is not engaged

    In its aggregation of the driving data from vehicles for training FSD, does Tesla incorporate data from drivers who do not have FSD or Autopilot engaged? This could provide valuable input for machine learning in particularly difficult driving situations. I watched this video of a tester trying...

    Range calculations and towing

    Does the range calculation in the vehicle take into consideration the payload weight in the vehicle? Is there there a place to enter the weight of a trailer so the estimate is more accurate when towing? In actual usage, do you find these estimates pretty close?
