    FSD beta v12.3 pulls the ultimate April Fools joke

    no, my friend. It hit the car hard and car shifted. You have to run video at 1/2 speed to see the dust-up and the car shift after scraping the curb. attached is the photo right after I came home and the dust and rim damage are visible..

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I don't see much change after running 11.4.7.2 for over a week. I'm still getting an annoying issue entering a roundabout with oncoming traffic to the left. The car seems to be blind to this oncoming traffic 100% of the time and comes in hot around 25 mph without slowing down. I wait until...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    it's a moot point. and I say that because who really knows because tesla is not transparent in sharing data with the public. the crash rate for Tesla could be 100x higher than what you referred to or could be lower. It's all speculation. I just know from my 2 yrs in the FSD beta program that...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Point well made and I agree to some extent but i'm referring to the use case that was provided where the tesla ran into the back of a parked emergence responder. I don't think you can say this would be "safer" than most people by any stretch of the imagination. The fact is that it still has...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    It may be that cameras just don't have the capability to accurately assess image artifacts with 100% confidence. It may also be the reason why Autopilot and FSD are not successful to the extent of L4 confidence in reducing phantom braking. You need 100% accuracy in use case life and death...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I misinterpreted the use case that you had described. I experienced a different issue. The car would always hard brake in downtown san francisco on Hwy 101 when I would be on a freeway overpass with speed limit of 55. FSD would abruptly without warning hard brake and change the speed limit...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Haha... Not even... on Beta 11.4.4 and still occurs on several routes that I regularly travel. That's the problem with FSD in general. It's consistently inconsistent. I have seen some improvement in 2 yrs with the program but this and other issues like phantom braking(7+ years now?) still...

    Tesla insurance: abysmal service via phone

    yea, that's typical of Tesla. They don't believe in live customer service and feel any matter can be handled through email. Not sure if it's worth the hassle and reduced service it to save a few bucks. I called and wait time is 55 minutes! im going to start shopping around for alternatives...

    Model S existing inventory and pricing

    Technically no. Both are 0-60 at 3.1 seconds. The model 3 performance only feels faster because the heft is much less.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    man, Congratulations! That is impressive indeed. It looks almost like Model 3 numbers and not Model S because of the heft of the model S. I don't see any way possible to achieve that level of efficiency for my '22 model S LR. My lifetime at 16K is 286 Wh/mi. And I live in the Bay Area which...

    Hypothesis on why Tesla's Service is so poor

    I hear you and have a similar story and more invested in tesla than you have with 4 previous tesla's and a current model s, 2 powerwalls, tesla solar panels. I'm sticking with the brand because I still believe no other brand is as close to L4 autonomy and I'm part of the FSD beta pilot and have...

    Hypothesis on why Tesla's Service is so poor

    I received a nice letter from one of the tesla SC managers over and they acknowledged and apologized for the systemic issues and vowed to do better. I think it's simply a matter of volume of business - Dublin, CA is by far the largest tesla service center in the united states. And california...

    Hypothesis on why Tesla's Service is so poor

    i agree. Systemic organizational shortcomings seem to be amplified at high volume service centers or geographic locations with a large tesla base like the SF bay area. Dublin/Pleasanton is the largest service center in the United States..

    Hypothesis on why Tesla's Service is so poor

    I am also experiencing frequent issues with the Tesla Dublin SC. I hear that they are the largest Tesla SC in the United States. I think the problem is related to systemic parts issues and the GM(JB) just doesn't have the background and experience to successfully deal with those issues. I own...

    Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision

    my opinion is if you don't believe tesla's strategy is the right one then why do you still own a tesla? It's ridiculous to think tesla will treat you as a special case and disable vision and enable radar. They are entitled to advance their strategy in ways they feel best for the long term. If...

    Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision

    lol, absolutely not a priority for me to have to do over 85 and have 1 as follow distance for autopilot! doesn't concern me at all. I'm more concerned about aligning with Tesla's longer term goal of tesla vision and dialing FSD in hopes of working better since I'm enrolled in the FSD beta...

    Model S existing inventory and pricing

    any more price adjustments and I may even consider selling the MS '22 LR for the Ultra Red Plaid Model X with HW4 and FSD. I would take a hit on the resale but the price adjustment will make up for some of the difference...

    Model S existing inventory and pricing

    Point taken although I disagree. Maybe for the rest of the country but I can only speak to bay area California and most "S" owners like myself don't qualify for the tax credit. And I'm sure there are always folks outside of California that are more budget conscious and may qualify for the tax...

    Model S existing inventory and pricing

    Why would a tax credit factor into the decision to justify S/X purchase? I do not understand the logic here. Most folks that can afford the S/X would not qualify for the tax credit anyways. Or maybe they would stretch but I can speak to that type of foolishness.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    FSD beta 11.3.3 was running Ok for me but a recent upgrade to 11.3.6 was regressive in a major way. I 'm not sure if it was because I brought the car in to service center per tesla recommendation and service bulletin to disable radar: "In 2021 - 2022 Model S vehicles running firmware version...

    Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision

    my worst fear came true today. I brought the car in to get radar disabled as per tesla service bulletin recommendation. I'm running 2022.45.16(FSD Beta 11.3.6). So they removed the front fascia, headlights and in doing so created a tear in the PPF over the headlights. The car is full PPF...

    Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision

    It bothers me because they scheduled service to replace the front radar due to water intrusion alert service bulletin just 4 weeks ago. Subsequently, there is another service bulletin just last week to disable radar? So i have to go through this a second time. I was suspicious the first time...

    Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision

    well, the radar won‘t be used anyways because tesla vision is used or that’s their official line at least. The only reason they could give me for disabling radar is 2-3 mile range improvement. Something seems off with this story. Why would they issue a service bulletin for certain VINs on FSD...

    Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision

    also tesla says: "Service bulletins are sent to batches of VINs. This service bulletin is for 2021 - 2022 Model S vehicles running firmware version 2022.20.9 or later." I would think this would be news and affect a lot of cars. So far I haven't heard of a single instance of anyone being...

    Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision

    Looks like they just added a new service bulletin (proactive “upgrades”, usually for reliability) for my 2022 Model S VIN. Reason is as follows: “In 2021 - 2022 Model S vehicles running firmware version 2022.20.9 or later, Autopilot and Active Safety Features that were using front radar sensor...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    11.3.3 is noticeably smoother and lane changes are more refined and human like. However, I witnessed a regression for right turn at stoplight. A cyclist was crossing the intersection and the car lunged forward just as the cyclist was in the middle of the intersection and the car attempted to...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    it's not an end state and FSD is always in continuous beta development. HW5 may possibly come out in the next 2 years and obsolete/limit HW4. I don't think we will see L4 autonomy happening under HW4. It's going to take some time.. a long time.... Upon hindsight, it would have been smarter...

    Front Radar sensor water intrusion?

    This mentions sensors but the announcement above specifically refers to "Radar"

    Front Radar sensor water intrusion?

    how was the installation? I ask because I have PPF installed on the front bumper and tesla says it will impact the PPF due to removal of bumper and flexing. I talked to the installer and they told me not to worry and flexing won't hurt the PPF.

    Front Radar sensor water intrusion?

    yea, i;m really confused and really did not get a clear answer from tesla as i thought radar is no longer being used as per the public announcement below: "In 2021, we began our transition to Tesla Vision by removing radar from Model 3 and Model Y, followed by Model S and Model X in 2022...

    Yea i had the same thing. They want to replace the front radar because of water intrusion. My car is model s 2022. I’m hesitanot because I don’t know what that means. I have PPF installed and am concerned that it may disrupt the PPF on the car..

    FSD Beta 10.69

    I get your point on that and I've owned 3 tesla's since 2018. However, it's questionable whether they have an advantage over their competition with regards to L3 on restricted highways if that's your only concern. And the never ending phantom braking is always present although much improved...
