    FSD Beta 10.11.1 (2022.4.5.20) - Limited or Mass Release?

    Another failure of the v11 UI update.
  2. B

    Anyone else not getting 10.9?

    I assume FSD is going to do something dumb at any moment. I always have at least one hand on the wheel at any time and the system still nags me constantly.

    $12K for FSD is insane

    Only reason it is worth the $3k I paid when it was "on sale", is that it covered the cost of the new computer they installed in my '18 M3. It is a fun gimmick that can kill you if you're not really paying attention. I'm now worried that the great performance of autopilot on the highway will be...

    Are YouTubers only posting successful FSD experiences?

    The car only has room for 5 snapshots? Wow, talk about limiting your data pool. I only press the record button for major screwups, but on my last drive I had at least 10 instances of insane behavior that I recorded. All instances would have caused an accident. Guess I’ll have to only record the...

    Are YouTubers only posting successful FSD experiences?

    10.4 is a definite regression in the Boston Area compared to 10.3.1. FSD is now having issues with any highway exit or entrance that has white dotted marks (which are there to help self driving cars). Also FSD tried to change two lanes when entering the highway and would have sideswiped another...

    2021.36.5.3 Updating Now

    Installing now. I retrograded to 36.5.1 yesterday, but got the email for 36.5.3 and downloaded it over Wi-Fi and just about done installing.

    Got 2021.36.5.2 But Now 2021.36.5.1 is Downloading

    I love Tesla. I am long on the stock because Tesla is an energy company who just happens to sell cars. Just don’t think the price paid = the function received. Bought FSD in early 2019, and nothing so far matches what Elon promised.

    Rollback update. Fsd removed. Safety score is back

    Seriously????? This is a joke if they messed up the roll back. I’m back to safety score and got dinged by fcw on 10.3. Down to a 99 from 100.

    2021.36.5.2 installed. Car wants to downgrade…

    I lost my 100 and am now at 99 because I had to hard brake to stop FSD from colliding with a median. Aaaaaargh!!!!!

    Got 2021.36.5.2 But Now 2021.36.5.1 is Downloading

    Same for me. Looks like they realized they screwed something up. Based on 36.5.2 I wouldn’t trust FSD at all and would wonder if it was worth $1 let alone $10,000.

    2021.36.5.2

    I’m both impressed with and very scared of FSD. I got 10.3 this morning. After dealing with the unstoppable FCWs and tacc and autopilot not being available, it is now working. In the end I can say, this software is not ready for prime time in anyway. Phantom braking, random speeding up and...

    Tesla’s FSD Beta 10.3 Coming This Friday 10-22-2021

    I’m in the boat where I enabled FSD and now the car is giving FCW for any car in front of me, and I can’t enable autopilot on the highway for more than 2 seconds without it screaming at me to take control immediately. Also, there is no autopilot available on city streets at all… just the new...

    Safety Score

    Nothing here…. Sitting at 100% and eagerly awaiting Elon to get off his ass.

    Poll: current safety score

    I’ve decided, what is the point in owning a fun “sports” car without being able to drive it like a sports car. I give up on my score. I got an 81 on autopilot today, which is 15 points lower than I ever got driving manually. Nothing I’m doing is unsafe, or dangerous, in-fact just the opposite...

    Poll: current safety score

    I got dinged for follow distance on a drive where I used TACC set to 6. In fact it said I was too close 60% of the time. The drive was an hour long on the highway without any cars on the on or off ramps or local streets on my way home. Their system is definitely weird.

    100-99-98... Current Safety Score Poll 2

    99 until my wife drove the car. She got an 81 on one drive. Now I’m down to 92. Ugh!!! 😭
  18. B

    Poll: What is your safety score at end of day, September 29th?

    I had a 99 for the week, and then my wife drove the car tonight under her driving profile. Now I have a 92!!!!!! Ugh!!!

    Blog Musk Gives Details on FSD 10.2 Beta Release

    I got dinged for aggressive turning by pulling into my driveway, which is more than a 90degree turn. Also got dinged for close following by people cutting me off because I left lots of room between me and the car ahead. I don’t think this system is meant to gauge how you drive, it is more about...

    FSD Request button goes live tonight!

    I pushed the button….. now I wait for Tesla to deem me worthy. I think I’ll turn forward collision warning to a low as possible since the system freaks out with some trash barrels, trees, and occasionally ghosts.

    Software Update 2020.12

    Updated yesterday. Had to reboot twice since install. My turn signals wouldn’t work and sentry mode went off when I was in the car. I now know how loud and annoying sentry mode would be for an intruder. Wow!

    Auto dimming mirrors

    I just wish Tesla actually auto dimmed based on the sensor rather than dimming via the time of day. I drive early in the morning and there are times of the year that the dimming turns off when it is still dark out.

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    My MR was upgraded yesterday (156xxx vin). I made the appointment via the Tesla app two weeks ago. The swap took 3 hours to complete from drop off to notification via the Tesla app it was done. Only other work done at the same time was replacement of the cabin air filters. The console was torn...

    Anyone in Boston Area Comment on needing winter tires?

    I live north of Boston and I have a RWD MR M3. The first thing I did was get X-Ice snow tires. I would have done the same if I had bought a AWD. While the traction control is amazing in.a Tesla, there is nothing better on snow and ice than snow tires.

    Window damaged trim because of cold weather, Tesla won't replace under warranty

    Just as a point of interest, Tesla just replaced my bent trim due to a frozen window failed retraction via warranty. I had a back an forth with someone at corporate when I scheduled a service to check out my shifting drivers seat and replace the bent trim. At that time they said it would not be...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Here is the rated range from Stats for my Nov '18 Medium Range. As can be seen, the rated range has been dropping since 9500 miles (approximately end of June). I charge to 80% daily with the occasional increase to 100% to recalibrate or for extended trips. I have supercharged a hand full of...

    V10 Loss of Range: 5% Range Loss in 2019 Model 3 After Install of V10 Update

    This is a report from the Stats App via iOS for the life of my Nov '18 MR battery. I drive ~1500 miles a month. Based on this my range has been dropping steadily since June, well before the V10 release.

    V10 Loss of Range: 5% Range Loss in 2019 Model 3 After Install of V10 Update

    My MR now charges to 193 miles @ 80%. At the start of the month it was 199 @ 80%. I really hope this is a software issue, but I'm starting to think otherwise.

    Window damaged trim because of cold weather, Tesla won't replace under warranty

    What preparation is necessary? I've applied Gummi Pflege and 3in1 RV track lubricant to the inner and outer seals, what else can I do if it is so cold that preheating can't warm the inner parts of the door/window mechanisms and they remain frozen?
  33. B

    Frozen handle and windows.

    Car covers can freeze to a car, so not really a choice when it is cold and it has rained, sleeted, or snowed during the prior drive.

    Window damaged trim because of cold weather, Tesla won't replace under warranty

    My issue is that the outer seal was not iced at all. The inner lower seal was iced and stuck to the window. I had to insert a credit card almost all the way to scrape the ice and break the connection. Why is so much water infiltrating the seals?.
  35. B

    Frozen handle and windows.

    The 1/4" drop occurs when closing the door and it is near freezing. It does not drop on its own when the car is charging or asleep. The current version of the software does not seem to drop the window as far as it did last year. Last year, when cold, the window would drop just below the chrome...

    Window damaged trim because of cold weather, Tesla won't replace under warranty

    I had a very annoying back and forth yesterday with Tesla due to my chrome also being damaged. Somehow the door was able to open but when closed the window was 1/4" above the frame. It appears that the "fix" Tesla implemented last year to slightly lower the window in cold temperature did not...

    V10 Loss of Range: 5% Range Loss in 2019 Model 3 After Install of V10 Update

    I've done the recalibration (<10%-100%) on my Nov 2018 MR a couple times recently and my range is at 248 miles @100% vs 264 when new. 80% now shows 198 down from 212 when new. While it could be degradation, I think that would be gradual like my LEAF vs the large drop I saw after a software update.

    All Tesla Models will get Range/Power increase (not just SR+) of 5%

    Has anyone with a LEMR received the update and had their range return to the rated value? Has the new software version "fixed" the range decrease many people have experienced?

    All Tesla Models will get Range/Power increase (not just SR+) of 5%

    What is annoying is that my Medium range (11 months old) now has a range of 247 miles on a full charge (originally 264miles). I'm not sure what Tesla has done with the software, but this drop in range occurred I think when I received software version 2019.28.3.1. Perhaps this "new" SR+ is just...

    Molded mud flaps arrived

    I added a small rectangle of double sided 3M automotive tape to the top edge of the flap inside the wheel well. This made the front mud flaps rock solid. There was too much movement on my car because the inside plastic of my wheel well is really flexible on the passenger side. The drivers side...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    It would appear to be the case. I expected a 5% range decrease over the first year based on the way batteries work, so I'm not freaking out. We'll see if it tapers off. If not, then Tesla will be replacing my battery. Luckily when I purchased my car it had the 8yr/120k mile battery warranty, so...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    My MR range at ~10K miles decreased from 264 to 254 miles. Now at 12500 my rated range at 100% is 248 miles. I charge to 90% when fully charging, otherwise the battery typically remains between 40-80% SOC at other times.

    Lumbar support button stopped working

    Happened to me. Stopped working for 2 months. Had a service scheduled and then 1 week prior to the appointment a software version arrived and it started working again. Not sure what fixed it since I had multiple versions of software delivered during the time it was “broken” and had powered off...

    New England Driving With RWD

    I have a RWD M3 in the Boston area and had no problems with driving this past winter. I did install snow tires (X-ice). No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get the car to spin out on snow. The Tesla traction control is really quite amazing. Also, the Tesla is the best (and most fun) car I...

    Software Ver. 2019.20.2.1

    2019.20.2.1 Auto brightness setting at night is way too dark. It sets the brightness to 5% which is unreadable. Then again my mirrors haven't auto dimmed since 2019.8.5 so maybe I have a broken sensor that is effecting both systems?
