    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    In some countries I've been to, they indeed use the horn much more, in effect to signify any change in their intentions - for example, before taking a turn or overtaking. They don't see it as a warning or a sign that the person who honks thinks anyone did anything wrong, it's just a way of...

    Model Y Competitor Coming - Volvo EX30 0-60 in 3.4 Sec, Starts at $35K

    It's copying Tesla in the wrong places (no driver screen, no buttons on doors), and with the 0.28 drag coefficient the range will suffer a lot at freeway speeds. With no tax rebate, and decent trims starting around $40K, this is not a competitor to anything. Too bad, I was expecting something...

    11.3.3 First Drive Reactions

    About point #1: when I use AutoPilot (and it probably applies to FSD, as well), it often recognizes neon signs on the buildings as emergency vehicles and slows down, only to figure it out a second later. Maybe they tried to dial it down and went too far.

    Opinion: Tesla should partner with another OEM for NACS or be forced into CCS someday.

    Маybe it's still not too late for Tesla to loosen the language of the agreement it offers for those who want to use their patent and try to push their standard.

    Model 3 Road Noise

    I know, my studio is full of those panels. But it is not the only material that works - it is just the most practical and light for use to attach to the walls. You can also use rubber etc. and the most important thing is that the sound waves don't transfer unimpeded from one end to the next, but...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    I don't think the material is what makes the difference. His and mine are used for the same purpose, mine is even thicker (but he doubles his). It is probably just subjective at this point, as there is no measurable difference in noise levels (at least by using my phone and checking the levels...

    I tried that mat I bought on Amazon, the link is in one of the messages. Maybe it helps, I just don't hear it.

    Model 3 Road Noise

    Update: I tried with or without inserts in front of the doors, listening, recording, analyzing... if there is a difference, it's subtle. Probably not worth it.

    Is FSD Beta going out to cars with 2023.2.0.5 ?

    I also had one month of subscription and when requested beta access, I got the FSD beta version of the software within a few hours. Since it expired, I was updated with a regular (non-beta version) of the software, I am going on a long road trip soon, so I wanted to get another month, however it...

    Growing FSD liability could be massive.

    The traffic in USA/Canada and Europe is simply too different, with Europe being harder and "newer" from the point of view of AI. FSD needs more data and time to learn how to react to all weird situations, so the quality of self-driving there will probably always be a few years behind.

    Growing FSD liability could be massive.

    I am sorry, I probably should have put a disclaimer that my opinion is only valid for the way it functions in USA, as I have no experience using it in Europe. I assume that, due to older roads, less planned city street networks, varying local traffic rules, narrower streets etc. it is much...

    Growing FSD liability could be massive.

    I think FSD has already delivered on its promise. It drives you to your destination in any kind of traffic situation, and it only requires you to pay attention and occasionally correct it, as is always clearly stated when you are to use it. The fact that some of it is still in beta and that...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    Putting aside for the moment the discussion about the effect of that panel dampener on the outside noise, it looks like having at least a thin sun roof cover below the glass has a noticeable effect in making the interior a more pleasant environment for talking (and listening music), probably due...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    Right, but any reduction in sound level will be a success. However, with phone recording I can run it through a spectrum analyzer to see if any frequencies are lower now. It won't be exact science in any case. BTW I heavily edited my message right after I posted it, so your quote now only shows...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    OK I cut a little larger chunks and fit them into both sides without gluing (I didn't remove the cover film; there is also aluminum foil on on the other side, I left that one as well, as seen in the picture). Then I drove around a little, and it does sound quieter, but I can't really be sure...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    As far as the method of having the foam/mat attached in that place, I will try to follow your advice to cut it somewhat larger and hope it will stay in place, as I would really not enjoy having a sticky mess in the summer if it starts to peel off in the blistering FL heat. I will also try to...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    Since you touched on the subject, let me elaborate a little, since I am also a sound engineer and a music studio owner. Strictly speaking, deadening is a wrong word in this context, as it describes attaching something to a material to make it less prone to vibration and rattle. If we want to be...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    I actually chickened out and after some 30 mins went back to the car and removed the whole thing, as it was not put in place to my satisfaction and I was afraid that it would become sticky and impossible to cleanly remove later. I will try to do it differently. That's the new plan! I tried...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    OK so here is what I did: I first roughly cut some packing paper to a little larger size and pushed it into the opening to take the imprinted shape of that space, I marked the edges with a pen, then took it out and cut with scissors, creating a paper template, which I used to cut the mat to...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    I bought this which is cheaper and just the right size to cover both sides. I will try to put it over the weekend. The biggest problem seems to be making it the correct size, since the whole area is obscured by the door and difficult to measure.

    Will the new CCS enabled superchargers have long cables?

    Will the new CCS enabled superchargers have long cables?

    Hyundai Ioniq Electric has the charge port on the left side, as shown on the diagram. Ioniq 5 & 6 have it on the right, as also shown. So the diagram is correct in this regard.

    Whistling Noise Above 40mph

    Sounds normal to me, and I don't mean it in a good way. Tesla's wheel and wind noise is bad. Sometimes I try to pull the buttons for all four windows to push them a little more to the seals and it makes it a little better.

    Model Y initial impressions after delivery

    If they really can't emulate sensor capabilities with vision, they certainly won't admit it while simply refusing to retrofit the cars that don't have it, since the wording on their explanation was clear, and they would be force to either retrofit or pay the buyers for the missing feature. It's...

    Model Y initial impressions after delivery

    When I want the usual high trim features, I drive my wife's Bolt EUV which has pretty much all the bells and whistles. When I want a fun or long drive, I hop into my M3. Win/win.

    Model Y initial impressions after delivery

    The back camera has wide enough angle to make the cross traffic warning largely unnecessary.

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    It's probably the very usual case of the driver pressing the accelerator instead of the brake. Happens many times every day, but it's news because it's Tesla, and the suspect is automatically the car. And they of course had to research if "self driving" was turned on to enter the garage...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    I bought a month of FSDb when it became widely available to see for myself what the fuss is all about. After a week or two, I got bored with it and didn't use it anymore - I was probably a little more impressed than most people, but I agree it does things differently than I would every few...

    I would settle with a camera on the front bumper like we have in the back. No need for beeping, lines on the screen, not even full 360 - just let me see what's in front of my car that I can't see from the seat.

    Former engineer claims 2016 self-driving demo staged | TMC Podcast #33

    I am not - I specifically paraphrased it in my reply ("they say that the driver is not doing anything"). What exactly is incorrect in that sentence? Do you think he secretly drove the car? That he is needed to be in it? No. The car drives itself. It is just not driving itself in a random...

    can anyone enhance this photo?

    We agreed about uploading the files directly. But I must correct you - Vimeo is not like "most" video services - you can upload uncompressed video and set it up not to add any processing. That is why Vimeo is used by most video professionals for short movies etc. It is probably not what was done...

    I thought that's why he uploaded it to Vimeo, which supports high quality video. But he needs to set it up to work... I agree it's best to upload it as the files, not to a video service.

    can anyone enhance this photo?

    BTW I think it's incredible that my phone 15 years ago had a higher resolution camera. Higher res camera sensors are cheap and they can use binning for vision, but save in full resolution for dashcam.
