    FSD discussion

    Given the value of knowing disengagements real time, I wonder if Tesla would keep FSD a lower cost for a higher take rate just to keep the RoboTaxi fleet up to date where new problems might exist? Avoiding road construction, road damage, recently changed exits etc. could be a value to the Tesla...

    Has Anyone Already Designed a Model X Rear Bumper Tow-Hitch Cover Cut-Out?

    Thanks @Thefourphans, just the encouragement I needed to make a cut out myself, after I obtain a new one from Tesla for a backup!

    FSD discussion

    My morning commute has a very busy light a block after a railroad track, although FSD did not visualize that hazard on the screen, it did not stop the car on the tracks waiting for the green light, Bravo TSLA.

    As a 2 Tesla family for almost a decade living far away from a Tesla shop (till recently) relying on Ranger service I will share two great anecdotes: "Hi guys, was in the neighborhood and noticed on of your cars was due for a recall seatbelt check, took a chance and found the car in the garage...

    If I am an accurate example, acceptance rate of FSD will be increasing! I did not purchase FSD on my new MX after selling my 9 year old MS due to disappointment with autopilot. Just 30 minutes into my free month of 12.3.2.1, I'm ready to send two Ben's per month to Austin.

    Wiki Super Heavy/Starship - General Development Discussion

    Must Starship be human rated? For the moon, the moon lander version of SS will pick up and drop off astronauts from/to other space ships. Could that strategy be used for Starships headed to Mars and back. I have such a hard time envisioning an escape pod for Starship being launched to low...

    Dang, this is starting to look real! After so many teasers and mock ups that never seem to happen, this will actually happen. If they could get the cost down on Haven-1, I could see large companies securing one for their R&D labs with crew rotation every month.

    I agree, insane to have such a large omnibus with unrelated items. I'm no expert in American politics, but that was the only chance for it to be passed, something for everyone. Until Johnson decided he wanted only stalemate. Hopefully he would now be open to direct funding for Ukraine, but I...

    Although I got a D in geography, that region seems a long distance from Ukraine, either their drone tech is expanding or they found a closer launch point within Russia.
