At first, I was kinda disappointed that the price of an FSDS sub for EAP owners was still stuck at $99/mo, but after trying it for two weeks and deciding we're just not ready to depend v12.3.4 or its offspring, we're back to NOA / TACC and are much more at ease. As a result, we don't care one...

Based on the driving I've seen in Florida, it's way way high...approaching a few seconds. 😱

Sorry, until Elon agrees to pay me $400 / hr for consulting & test driving, Tesla can drive its own development without my assistance. When I pay money, I expect a finished product, not one I have to test for them. I know, everyone will say, "Hey, it's clearly marked as 'Beta,' don't get your...

Thanks for the precision. I was so busy watching the road that I never read the small print underneath the FSD Profile. So, no matter the mode, FSD v12 does jackrabbit starts, drives like a poorly trained teenager in some scenarios, and cannot be trusted. Hence, all drivers are very...

As things stand today, nobody should get into a robotaxi driven via the V12 stack. It's not even close to good enough for unsupervised use. Essentially, anything said on 8/8 about Tesla and robotaxis would have to be heavily forward looking and full of smoke, mirrors, and lasers to make it all...

So, yeah, FSD v12 is pretty decent and far better than the terrifying performance of v11, but it still manages to scare the crap out of me and especially my primary passenger in certain scenarios. In particular, it hits an exit ramp near me at full speed, jags quickly to the right to get onto...

Yep, for now it appears that owners like us who "invested" in EAP may get screwed over...again.

We bought EAP for the same reasons, auto lane change, auto park, etc. With the FSD 11 stack, NOA isn't really trustworthy, and we didn't get auto park until a couple of weeks ago, so it felt like we'd been scammed. Now that auto park is working again and EAP / NOA will eventually utilize the...

It would be nice if gullible morons like me who bought EAP could keep the extended visualization while using NOA. Just a thought.

On 8/8, if he says anything, he'll probably just announce that he meant 8/8/2088.

Soon they'll release Actually Super Smart Wipers. The trademarked name will be "ASS Wipers."

Regardless, I experienced what I experienced with this setting, and given its behavior is a guaranteed speeding ticket in my neighborhood, there's no way I'm going to use it. Wait and see, somewhere the press will eventually report that, given the chance, Tesla FSD v12 deliberately exceeds...

Exactly. My prediction is that nothing will happen other than another promise that something really sexy will happen in December....and he won't say what year.

I can't use this feature because it tries to go 45 in a heavily enforced 35mph zone where the road is a divided boulevard with two lanes in each direction. It does this with no traffic ahead or behind. The road looks like at least 45 should be fine, but that's a guaranteed speeding ticket.

I've turned off "Auto Wake" in Tessie settings, which prevents it from waking up the car and preserve's the car's battery. This is the primary reason I use Tessie vs. the Tesla app when checking on the car. This has proven especially useful when the car is parked for a few days while not...

I suspect you might mean "can not get it *yet*." Pretty sure cars in that situation won't be dead-ended WRT FSD. Honestly, waiting for FSD V12 might be for the best anyway, because FSD V11 was a nightmare.

So, I'm on "Version 11.1 (2024.2.6)." I have EAP though not FSD, but I should also be getting updates, right? Any thoughts on what the V12 scoop is for EAP customers who could subscribe to FSD for $99 / mo (current price) if they were so inclined? ;)

Sounds interesting, though given I am in a single family home with a Tesla Wall Connector I'm not a target customer. That said, Victron does some similarly cool power management with a hybrid inverter / charger they build for RVs. For example, it allows an RV to draw up to 30 amps while...

I'm just hoping that when Ford and other companies start making cars / trucks with NACS sockets in them, those sockets are in the right place with respect to where Tesla already puts them. Without that, there's gonna be some hot tempers at Tesla Supercharger locations as those other brands roll...

For the first three months after we got our 2023 MYLR HW4 with EAP, even with FSD disabled, as long as we had TACC and Autosteer active, the car would check itself at every light or stop sign. Even NOA would do this if we were on a road where it allowed us to activate NAO, and the road had a...

That article cited above is priceless - pricelessly wrong. I tried out FSD 11.x as recently as last December on local roads, and it was just horrible. Should have been called Fully Terrifying Driving. Felt like I was turning my 2023 MYLR with HW4 over to a new teen driver with bad eyesight and...

Would folks please point me to the preferred Bryant / Hubbell 14-50 receptacle? Pretty sure we have a Leviton in our 14-50 outlet, would like to use a better quality unit that won't overheat at some point. Already had all the connections checked by an electrician so they should be nice and...

You're not getting any. This is why Muskie Boy called it ASS. So you could ask when you're gonna get some. You're not. None of us are.

That must have been a horrifying experience. Glad you made it out in one piece! As for the car, I have no idea - sounds dicey, let's see what your body shop says.

While the convenience of an OTA update to resolve this cannot be denied, something else here really demands our attention: This problem was reportedly caused by instability in the software stack, which they introduced with a prior release. Their software quality assurance / control process is...

When we're on road trips the battery has a longer range than my butt, so we stop whenever we want - especially if there's a Buc-ees. Ha!

You didn't find many facts because the facts behind this kind of hyperventilated reporting are so few, so thinly spread, and sometimes altogether missing. I didn't see reporting on how many ICE vehicles simply failed to start in the cold, how badly the cold affected their MPG, how much they...

This morning, just before I left the house for the Tesla SC to get the car's warranty camera service done per the above post, I got a call from Tesla saying the camera heating issue had been caused by software and that it has since been resolved via updates. We're currently on 2023.44.30.8, and...

I look forward to F150 Lightning owners' responses to an ICE blocking the charging station they want to use. Ha!

There have always been drivers who park and ignore all signs regarding whether it's appropriate to park there, regardless of ICE or EV. Blocking a handicap space can cost the driver big money, but they do it anyway. Parking right under a "No Parking" sign can cost them big money, but they do it...

Come to think of it, I might be reluctant to buy a used EV near the end of its battery warranty period unless the seller can show me a report that says the battery is in great shape, or unless they're nearly giving it away. If there's a decent chance I'd have to replace the battery out of...

Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: I'm using Tessie right now because it's interesting to review the additional information it exposes to the average user. I also set Tessie so it doesn't wake up the car when I launch the app and thus it doesn't keep the car awake, which would reduce battery...

More smoke! More mirrors! The Great and Powerful Oz has spoken! 🤣

Way to bust out the magic docks and get all those non-NACS cars in there to see how they all fit at the SC charging slots. ;) Anybody have a CCS-to-Tesla adapter? Maybe double adapters would get you free charges for a couple of days, as long as that trick didn't burn up the place (and your car). 😂

We had a working Sega Apollo 13 pinball machine in our home for years, with 13 ball multi-ball. It was great fun!

I would skip the FSD and EAP. Expensive and not really worth the money.

We are currently on 2023.44.30.6 and 11.4.9. Driving home after dark (no sun to heat the car) last night, we noticed that the interior camera housing was truly hot to the touch. Not warm, hot. Like, "That thing is nearly burning my finger!" hot. Also noticed that EAP was extra crabby, got two...

2023 MYLR HW4: We got our first update, 2023.44.30.6 / 11.4.9 on Friday night. Drove it for the first time yesterday locally on a combination of local and toll roads. No stupid dry wipes on that clear sunny day. Only had to intervene once with FSD when it failed to slow sufficiently while...

It's the usual sheer puffery from their Chief Screw-up Officer, that's the rationale.

My far batter half, unprompted, said the new HFPA screen looks like the inside of the Bat Cave, no matter where we are parking. However, we both like that it's now possible to see alignment with the lines on the ground in a parking lot.

Just drove our 2023 MYLR (HW4) with 2023.44.30.6 / 11.4.9. Impressive improvement. No dry auto wipes on our currently sunny day. Hi-fi parking assist is definitely more helpful than before, though it looks pretty bizarre on the screen, as if everything is covered in cordyceps fungus. Hoping...

The update appears to have worked. We'll see how it behaves when we drive it tomorrow.

The app for my car was showing "Install 2023.44.30.6" but when I said "Go!" via that app, it said "schedule software update failed." So I went to the car, verified that it was connected to WiFi, and started the update from there. First time I've ever had to try that. Looks like that approach...

If they'd just show us an actual bird's-eye video feed, I suspect we'd have a better idea what's out there and how close it is to the car than their "AI" software does. What a mess.

Looks good. I like that the additional screen seems low and unlikely to block forward visibility. One question regarding the RVM - were they unable to wire that camera into a power source that is only "on" when you're driving the vehicle? I get that we have huge lithium batteries under the...

Still works for music. You have to press and hold the button to bring up this feature. :)

I'm currently on 2023.27.7 / 11.4.7.3 with updates set to "Advanced." As of this moment, nothing yet, not even a whiff. OTOH, maybe waiting a little while to see what ugliness pops up with this "Frankenstein" update is an OK thing. Honestly, all I really care about right now is fix the stupid...

If you're going to be in court for this ticket, I recommend you find and hire an attorney with expertise in traffic tickets to advise and assist you - especially since you're new to this country. Your ticket, your money, your call, but it might be helpful to do so. Also, very sorry to hear your...

This is potentially cool, but note: There's nothing in the cited article about fixing or improving auto wipers, overall FSD, or even EAP. We shall see what happens, I guess.

It's buried in settings for the car. Here's a quick YT video from someone who bothered to record how it's done. :)
