    Drove by on Saturday, Nov 11 (sorry, no pic). The outside of the building appears to be complete with two "T" Tesla symbols on it. There is also a "Tesla" sign over by the street.

    Steering Assist Reduced

    Had this same error message pop up about two weeks ago. The message did not return after the car was parked overnight, but I made an appointment with Tesla in Cherry Hill NJ. The tech found corrosion on the wiring, cleaned and tested conductivity. Just under $150 for the repair. 2018 LR RWD...

    How much $ to retire and how to fund your lifestyle in retirement

    So Ford and now GM will be adopting NACS-only in their future models. Jim Farley said that one of the conditions of the agreement was that Ford owners would continue to use the Ford app and not need to use Tesla's. Not sure if GM had any similar requirements. What we haven't heard so far, is...

    I just had my first 10.10.2 drive yesterday and I also saw it ride down the middle (or left side) of unmarked roads. This was a problem in a prior release that had been resolved and is now back. One improvement I did see (again, only one drive so far) is that the car did not wait forever at a...

    First, thanks for the detailed numbers and explanations you are providing. When I read your posts I feel smarter for having done so. In July 2021 you predicted 2022 at $1,700 and additional prices out to 2026. Do you anticipate bumping the post-2022 numbers at some point?

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I got 10.8.1 last night (from 10.8). Compared the release notes at NotaTeslaApp and it appears that this release only adds a reset of the FSD 'jail' counter; the other statements on driving changes appear to be identical to 10.8.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I only have a few drives completed with 10.8. The prior issues I've seen in my neighborhood with stops and "T" intersections still remain; FSD sometimes stops too far back, hesitates when proceeding or even stops halfway through the turn. I have, however, seen a measurable improvement on...

    Still on 10.5 😒, but I took some time today to repeat a loop I've been testing. I finally figured out why FSD sometimes thinks the speed limit jumps from 35 to 50 on one of the roads. I don't know what this sign is, but I did report it so hopefully it gets resolved.

    Re: #3. I had something similar to that happen on 10.5 while driving on a local road. Car just snapped from my lane to the lane to the left. I had no idea why that happened.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    My take on FSD, especially when I compare it to AP on highways, is that it just isn't predictable. I know how AP will handle highways situations (for the most part), but I have no idea if FSD will handle a turn amazingly well or if it will pull halfway through and stop dead. My hope is that...

    FD Beta : TomTom Map, Roundabouts and the Speedlimit

    Had to put two 'pins' in the route as it wanted to take me on some back roads due to traffic. Travel direction is from bottom to top then left. So Tesla is using Tom-Tom nav info?

    There are also a fair amount of issues I've encountered that can be blamed on bad map or navigation data. Here's an example of what I've been emailing [email protected] after capturing a video clip. I hope this gets to the right folks as I think these types of issues should be easy to...

    I only took a few short drives with my 3 LR RWD. I did notice significant improvement in car positioning on unmarked roads; it no longer seems like it wants to ride down the middle. Not enough other driving to judge beyond that. One fun thing I've noticed as that 10.4 and now 10.5 seem to handle...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I've had the red 'hands on wheel' alert occur when AP itself panicked. For example, about a month ago (pre-FSD beta) I was using AP with Nav on AP enabled. I was on the on-ramp from one highway to the next and came up to a 'Stop' sign.... on the ramp. No idea why the stop sign was there, but the...

    How many Safety Score 98 waiting for FSD 10.4?

    Welp, just got a notification on the mobile app that 2021.36.8.5 was ready to install 😃 Fwiw, 99 score as of Nov 10th mainly due to older drives dropping off. Edit: car was not previously running the FSD beta; upgrading from 2021.32.22.

    Just wondering when/if GM will be able to address coverage gaps such as the perpetual construction zone on I95 (arrow) or the I95/I676 highway interchange which is not under construction. AP seems to handle both w/o issues (image from this page).

    FSD Beta Videos (and questions for FSD Beta drivers)

    Yeah, AP has always picked the wrong exist lane on a route a take quite often. If you take that lane, you end up "stuck" because the lane divider immediately becomes a solid white. I wish there was a way to let Tesla know about these nav issues. I've tried letting AP get in the wrong lane and...
