    Horrible and sad model Y delivery experience

    I have worked a decade in Auto Manufacturing. I would never buy a quarter end or year end product. It is rushed through with a compliant quality department to help achieve production targets. Mid-month, mid-quarter etc., are much better. I think Tesla will attend to most of the issues. This is a...

    IRS definitions of what's a car vs SUV by manufacturer for $55k vs $80k price limit

    Thanks for pointing it out. I get it now. 7 seat MY gets a van rating. And both MYP and MYLR with 5 seats are "cars". I always wondered why a Model Y was considered an SUV because the ground clearance was so low compared to any other ICE SUV. I hope it goads Tesla to using tires with much more...

    IRS definitions of what's a car vs SUV by manufacturer for $55k vs $80k price limit

    The way this can be resolved is either of the two. 1. Legislation provides rebates for cars costing $55 K or less. For some reason IRS has assumed MYP is an SUV (even though it sits lower in height than an MYLR) but not MYLR. Tesla needs to challenge the classification of an MYP as an SUV but...

    Tesla replacing ultrasonic sensors with Tesla Vision

    This can work, if Tesla gives access to front facing side cameras on the monitor. Right now, all 3 front facing camera video stream is only used for Tesla vision. A better solution is to use off the market a solar powered Autvox front license plate camera...

    Autopark - Is Tesla working on improving it or do they feel it is good enough?

    I have no issues self parking if the Tesla had 360 birds eye view surround camera like in the Lexus. Even curb rashes would not be an issue. Right now, I have no idea how close my tires are to the curb with turning or parking. Due to no front low height camera, I don't even know how far I am...

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Lack of a front camera at a low height limits Tesla's ability to Look left and right without creeping ahead a lot. The location of the backward looking side camera's fixed behind of even the driver seat area is a big disadvantage.

    NO TURN ON RED

    I am assuming MN laws says, come to a dead stop. Then give way to all vehicles and pedestrians and then turn right on red? My understanding is that in MN right turn is always allowed on a red light unless there is a red right turning arrow or a posted sign that says no turn on red signal. Right?

    FSD Beta 10.69

    I was hoping for at least 2022.20 not that 2022.24 is rolling out. Giving 2022.16 after more than 2 months is disappointing.

    Tesla self-parking RHD - lagging way behind the competition

    Tesla does not have cameras looking down from the roof nor low height front camera's. If Tesla offered 360 view, curb rash would disappear. Right now it is hard to figure out where the front wheel if when parking in narrow parking slots.

    Another of my predictive polls: FSD will or will not be achieved with "vision only". VOTE NOW!

    A better poll would be how many years will Tesla achieve FSD and be out of Beta.

    Today it stopped detecting hand on wheel

    Agree. I take full responsibility, and pride in my driving. My worry is that I often get the blue flashing to put pressure on the steering wheel.

    Minnesota - FSD Beta Videos

    Your videos are very nice. No shaking and voice is clear. What camera and attachments do you use for recording this? Do you use a remote microphone? I have never recorded an FSD beta run. Do you use FSD Beta in peak traffic? I personally use it once in 2 weeks at off peak times to help the Beta...

    Today it stopped detecting hand on wheel

    I ordered the counterweight from Aliexpress. I expect delivery today. I am not going to use the camera blocking. That came "free" with the order. In any case, I have learnt to rest one hand on the wheel such that it does not disengage Autosteer nor does it give flashing warning to put pressure...

    CCS Retrofit Kit

    I did end up buying the Tesla CCS adapter from Korea. A company does one stop purchase and delivers in 10 business days. I also saw a few youtube videos on people who have used this adapter. I am yet to try mine at Electrify American but plan to do so in the next 1 week. The below link is where...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I always suspected it was due to 100k Hertz order. Even though Tesla said, no one cuts ahead, Hertz is receiving many Tesla's and that may have impacted the overall capacity of Fremont.

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    This is crazy. I wonder what happened in the month of September. Each week caused like a month's delay. I ordered on 5th September or so, and I took delivery of my MYLR on 19th January. Those who booked 2 weeks later received delivery in April.

    What would you pay for FSD, if anything?

    One big advantage of FSD beta is that auto pilot is enhanced on city streets even when not running FSD. Before I got FSD beta, my car would stop at every light and I had to physically click the right hand lever to ask it to not stop. When speed changed on a city street, I had to physically...

    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    The Stat was an instant in time when I clipped it from TeslaFi. Many of those with scores above 98+ would have disappeared from the list because their accounts no more show safety scores when they accept FSD Beta.

    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    They can't push 100k in one go. I suspect they will spread this out over a week. Those above 95+ should get it in this lot during the course of the week. In TeslaFi the software status shows up before one actually downloads it or gets a notification in the App.

    95+ score and no FSD Beta today?

    Elon's tweet mentioned 100k new additions in this round. My score was 99 and I got FSD beta today and also did a small trip to my office and back on FSD beta.

    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    I had my first FSD Beta drive. My driving is more like Chill. Tesla's FSD seemed pretty aggressive to me. I bailed out multiple times because I was worried it would go through the intersection based on the speed it approached the intersection. I built up areas it drives too fast (30 mph) in my...

    It did for me last week. Trick is click on advance download and switch back and forth. That will kick the software to check for update. Also check Wi-Fi. For some reason my Tesla forgot the home Wi-Fi after last update.

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    Well Elon could help TSLA by opening up FSD Beta to the next 100k persons waiting for it. It will jolt the market that non Beta FSD is around the corner. It will also remove Elon from the negative portrayal in the media. No one in the US has been added since last year. If he says wide release...

    FSD beta expansion to new beta testers June 2022

    Today the new Beta FSD version is moving to those outside the employee pool. If this version is found stable, Elon plans to open it up to those above 95 score. That said, I suspect it is more likely that they will need an update to the current version before it is opened up to a new pool of Beta...

That said, I do intend to add a Hansshow display in front of the steering when their display comes...

    Aftermarket air suspension for Model Y, what do you recommend?

    Why does Tesla suspension suck so bad?

    I am not sure the question does Tesla's Model Y suspension suck or not, will lead to an agreement. The past experience of everyone is different, as is the gender and age. To expect everyone to agree is akin to saying the best color is red. That said, my other vehicle is a 2020 Lexus 450 Rxh...

    The unofficial "when do I get my FSD beta update" FAQ

    My biggest issue is hard braking. A yellow light and some one in front decides to slam the brakes. I had 6 days of 100 and today one hard braking brought my today's score to 91. I can forget trying to increase my score from 99 to 100 for 30 days. Really hard to get 100 and stay there for too long.

    Tesla runs into a PLANE while summoned

    Tesla's lack a camera at the number plate level in the front. That is why Tesla does not have 365 view for parking assist.
