    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    I have had FAD-b for some time now and have the latest version. Honestly- I won’t use it unless the roads are empty. It’s not even close to getting to a smooth safe level. I also feel that the they have sort of reached the level of improvements they can achieve with the camera based system and...

    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    I don’t see the “coming soon auto drive on city roads” anymore under FSD description on the ordering page so they have changed that. When I ordered it was there lol

    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    Let me put it this way. If McDonald’s serves drinks half full there will be many that still be satisfied because somehow it works for them. There will be others that complain and finally the message will reach McDonald’s HQ and they will correct it? So it’s very much important that everyone...

    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    Those who were kicked off beta finally good news on 07-Jan!! With the release of FSD Beta 10.8.1, Tesla is now resetting all testers' strikes to zero, regardless of how many they had or when they were received. With beta 10.8.1, Tesla is also increasing the amount of strikes to five, before FSD...

    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    Couple days back an idiot in a truck was kissing my rear for quite some time and I was on FSD on a highway and pretty fast. Finally I got posses and just slammed hard on the accelerator taking off and leaving the prick like 2 miles behind. However as soon as I slammed on the accelerator pushing...

    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    Let’s be honest about this. We don’t know the statistics but probably hundreds of thousands of us paid $10K. NOT ONE would have paid if it was mentioned that it is a “customer funded experimental project”. What it said was “COMING SOON - AUTO STEER ON CITY STREETS”. And on top of that the CEO...

    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    I wasn’t reacting to my immediate experience but projecting into the future. It’s a long way to get to full autonomy on US roads. The current camera-based systems that your and my teslas come with may not even get us there unless there is an external very accurate navigation system sort of...

    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    Just got the FSD beta via the 44.25.6 update. Holly *sugar* this is nowhere near remotely close to full autonomy!! The way it jerks the steering back and forth taking some turns and really needs plenty of interventions to avoid driving errors. After having used it for a few days now I think we are...

    So today 20-Dec finally got my first update 2021.44.6!!! Also got the live view sentry mode, option to subscribe to FSD beta along with the other updates. It does seem the updates are tailor made for batches of vehicles and is a highly complicated and interactive process (between our vehicles...

    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    My personal assessment is that this is more a software issue. Unlike phones that sent updates to all in one wave Tesla cars are unique. Each can produce new previously unknown bug that’s specific to a series of cars or updates. I am no software guy but do think the vehicles programs talk back...
  12. Oldguywaits

    Kicked out of the FSD Beta! (Long Post)

    I don’t have the FSD yet but I am wondering whether the cross talk your vehicle system had with the central systems detected some issues which required halting the continued use of FSD. So along with the next software update the central systems should push the corrective updates so that FSD...

    Tesla July orders- MYLR Delivery Status

    Where do you see that? Has the mileage increased without any change in cost? The previous MYLR used to be 327 miles. What’s the new one?

    Tesla July orders- MYLR Delivery Status

    I would think that if and when the new batteries go into production vehicles and result in mileage shifting from 327 to 400 they will most certainly increase the price and only offer the new ones at the revised cost. Anybody thinks they will ship 400M range MYs at current price to existing...

    knocking sound from passenger side under accel and decel

    What’s your software version? I got mine 30-October and is on 2021.35.102 Been a month and no updates to date. I don’t have the option to opt into the beta-FSD (despite paying 10K), the live view for sentry mode is not there also.

    knocking sound from passenger side under accel and decel

    I can hear/feel that single soft knock occasionally while moving over a bump. It’s so infrequent that initially I thought the mud flap was touching ground or something. It’s like a soft thud and you sort of faintly feel on your feet. When the car comes to a stop there is a sort of “locking feel”...

    I think it’s all part of being stuck in the 35.102 version. Hopefully we will get updated soon. The car is fabulous though and enjoying every minute I drive. Certain parts of the country I do see some aggression towards Tesla. Often get tempted to show them the power by zooming past them but...

    No Software Update

    Did you get the option to opt FSD-beta? There are other updates including live sentry mode view that released after 35.102. Hopefully we get these soon. It is sort of weird how they push updates as it is not uniform and all at one time. Anyways nothing we can do other than wait

    That’s pretty much the norm these day haha Don’t expect major defects. Their processes and quality checks are even better than the so called traditional car manufacturers.

    Hmm… I haven’t had the no sub/bass issue. When did you take delivery? I took mine 30-October. I got a note from the virtual service team that my car is on the latest firmware release. And since the car is brand new it has not received any “newer” firmware than that’s already installed lol What...

    I am stuck in 2021.35.102!!! Took delivery on 30-October. How long does it take for them to push updates to new deliveries? I paid the $10K for FSD so hoping to get relevant updates soon

    Here is another titbit FWIW. Once you take delivery you will notice that your car is stuck in a software erosion that could be behind by several updates. For example my version shows 2021.35.102. There are many updates since then. Apparently now we simply wait till they get to your VIN batch to...

    So you are pretty much updated. You should get your last one any day now. For me I am stuck in the factory installed. Maybe as others mention in various threads on this, new cars will be stuck in factory software until they get to your VIN. I have opened a ticket anyways so let’s see what they say

    Amigos - Here is another important thing I learnt today. Check this website to see the latest updates and then check your version to make sure you are not too far behind. Apparently they send updates in groups based on VIN and if you don’t select update it goes away. Sort of weird. So if your...

    That’s what I don’t understand yet. I did click on the FSD-beta and it shows as active. I have read people getting into a waiting list etc but I didn’t see anything of that sort. It was available for me to activate as soon as the cameras fully calibrated.

I talked with few recent deliveries- NONE had any body issues to report. But again do your diligence as always but...

    Wish I had been that clever!!! FSD certainly is a waste now but I got pulled into that hype. Regards to PPF, I may try to get a quote to focus on only some high impact zones. If anyone is aware of some PPF guys in PA Philadelphia area that gives good deals please post :-))

    So Tesla does take the downpayment quite early if you provide your bank details. They pulled mine on 26-Oct. Delivery is on 01-Nov. I would recommend folks to just use cashiers check.

    So are you suggesting to only have one ticket and include all issues in that ticket? I will try to check thoroughly right at the DC (Devon) but I am not as tech savvy as most folks here so it is possible I find issue later on reaching home. I had always assumed you can easily submit all issues...
