    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    Forgot to mention that within ten minutes of trying out the “fabulous” 12.3 on my Y today my wipers gave a quick swipe of the dry windshield. Sort of a middle finger to us suckers who purchased FSD and even consider that the YouTube prostitutes are being truthful for a change.

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    Got 12.3 on my hw4 Y today but hw3 S was updated a week ago to 2024.2.7, so I assume I will have a lengthy wait for the S. So far, I don’t see any great improvement. Lots of jerky moves and still hesitant at stop signs and rights on red. Perhaps after more drives I will be more impressed. But I...

    FSD V12 (end to end AI)

    Are there any non-CA based YouTube stars with v12? The guy in Michigan that probably posts more YouTube “adventures with Tesla” than almost anyone still doesn’t have it either.

    FSD V12 (end to end AI)

    I am seeing lots of posts from people with v12. Yet the non-California YouTube stars who always seem to be first continue to “starve.” I assume no one posting here with v12 lives outside CA?

    FSD V12 (end to end AI)

    It would be instructive to see numbers of cars on v12 in CA vs the rest of the country. I suspect that would give an alternative reason for Chuck and other YouTube stars outside CA being left out.

    Mustang Mach e GT charging at California Tesla supercharger

    The old Elon seemed to care. The new Elon is probably amused. BTW, rumor has it Ford drivers are being told to park across two spaces to make it obvious that the space to the left is useless for a Tesla. Sure am glad I seldom Supercharge. Bring snacks when you Supercharge to watch the inevitable...

    What's next for Tesla FSD? Reversing

    Reversing is about the last thing on my list. First is addressing all of the different rules of the road and street signs/markings that vary from the SF Bay Area. I realize there are clips being gathered from everywhere FSD is used but call be skeptical that our cars will understand the...

    Supercharging for “lifetime of car” transfers under the current FSD & Supercharging transfer to new cars

    I wish you would have started a new thread. The thread was about “lifetime of the car” Supercharging offered until the first month or two of 2017 on all Teslas with Supercharging capability — and whether that feature is cut off by the latest transfer offer. In addition to my question being...

    Supercharging for “lifetime of car” transfers under the current FSD & Supercharging transfer to new cars

    Actually I do sell my cars but since I pay cash for them my sales aren’t tied to leases and loans and often extend for more than 5 years but generally less than 10. For example I took the FSD transfer offer last Summer for my 2/2018 Model 3 and got a new Y. Since my 12/2016 S is now 7 years old...

    Supercharging for “lifetime of car” transfers under the current FSD & Supercharging transfer to new cars

    As long-time S owners are aware, lifetime Supercharging passes with 2016 and older cars (plus a few early 2017 cars) for the car’s lifetime. Of course, after that time there have been brief periods when lifetime supercharging was attached to new cars but only could be passed to the second...

    Autopilot/FSD Pedestrian Accident

    What a crock. Hopefully he gets a lengthy prison sentence. (However when the Catholic Bishop of Phoenix O’Brien did almost the same thing twenty years ago, he also claimed he didn’t know he’d hit anyone though the windshield was caved in —and he never even reported the incident. The cops traced...

    FSD Trial ended, car updated to 2024.2.3 - what would happen if I subscribe to FSD today?

    As noted by others, Teslafi does seem a bit slow to tag with FSD. The same thing occurred with 2024.2.2, though it now does show the FSD tag. BTW I have FSD purchased on both cars (one was transferred to a new car last Summer). I paid a total of $5000 on one car and $7000 on the other for what...

    Apple abandons self driving car/says it’s not technologically feasible to achieve L5

    Thanks to Blackberry's arrogance, lack of foresight or whatever other reasons, Apple went from an innovative personal computer company that had a good chance of going bankrupt into the cell phone god with unlimited piles of money. It is of course interesting to follow their “plans” for the next...

    Tesla Service say Daytime Running Lights not covered under ESA??

    Nope, not the same but my 12/2016 S had both headlight assemblies replaced today under ESA. Invoice was originally over $4500 until they corrected it to just my $200 co-pay. Don’t know why I didn’t notice the issue for over seven years😂

    Supercharger - Tempe, AZ - W Elliot Rd

    Perhaps some of the others are further along too but now that urban Superchargers are becoming so common I suspect the thrill of checking new sites for progress isn’t what it used to be. I only wish more focus was being placed on the many empty, rural spots nationwide. Of course if I didn’t have...

    DRL finally match

    We are getting ours replaced on Monday. Our 12/2016 S has ten months left on extended warranty. (Cost estimate was $4400 — $200 of that my extended warranty co-pay. Coincidentally, I think $4400 is about what we paid for four-year extended warranty.) I wonder how many years they have been...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    Holy crap, am I ever clueless! Our right front headlight unit including blinker stopped working and I put in a service order.

    Is 2023.44.30.8 going to all cars?

    I have pre-paid FSD but Tesla is not releasing the beta to me for years

    My eyes start to bleed whenever threads like this one appear. In Feb 2023 I started a thread Is any MCU1 car actually on FSD Beta yet? Several people responded that they had MCU1 and FSD Beta was finally working for them after many delays/challenges (including camera upgrades that were delayed...

    Is 2023.44.30.8 going to all cars?

    It appears all Teslas with or without FSD Beta are moving to 2023.44.30.8. I don’t recall a single software release for all cars ever happening before?

    Supercharger - Mesa, AZ - S Signal Butte Road

    When I bought my first Tesla 7 years ago the company made it clear that it was focused on providing charging across the country so people could travel anywhere. That goal makes as much sense today as seven years ago, doesn’t it? Instead of drawing blank boxes around sections of a metro area...

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    I have had FSDb on three Teslas and nags are frequent, presumably due to my lack of consistent pressure on the steering wheels. (Definitely not for more egregious behavior.) Are you saying those without FSDb are more frequently nagged? Seems had to believe if that’s the case.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    This will be fun. While we are awaiting the fully featured and “solved” FSD product Musk promised for December 2017, we can take solace that the beloved “nags” will be even more extensive and wonderful. If Musk would just shut his pie hole Tesla would get a lot less attention from regulators...

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    If you don’t want to wait for months for the allegedly improved V12, just create a YouTube site related to some aspect of Teslas. You will find FSD works almost flawlessly — and the “dry wiping” issue will never occur.

    5 years worth of subscription = buying it

    I have no opinion regarding your decision but one factor that may be overlooked by some people: We traded our 1/2018 3 with FSD for a new Y in August during the third quarter “one-time only” opportunity to move FSD to the new car. There is no way to predict the future but I certainly wouldn’t be...

    FSD V12 (end to end AI)

    Does anyone understand Musk’s comments during the v12 demo in August that HW4 cars would not get it until HW3 cars were dialed in, probably about six months later? It puzzles me since our new in August Model Y has received the newest v11 FSD Beta, the same day as our 12/2016 Model S. I would...

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    I agree with you. Although Musk’s 6 months quote in Aug was originally thought to mean no FSD for HW4 cars for six months, that wasn’t true and obviously he instead meant no v12 for HW4 vehicles until 6 months after HW3 vehicles. So no V12 for the new truck either for six months or so after...

    Poll: When will FSD V12 be in wide release?

    Hmm, so does that mean CT will have HW3 initially instead of HW4 (or Musk is again making up timelines)? You do recall Musk was as clear (as he can be) that HW4 vehicles would lag HW3 vehicles by six months or so in terms of v12 release?

    Autopilot Localization and Personalization

    While you seem to be living in a bit of an imaginary world😅, there better be some way for our cars to recognize localities under v12 inasmuch as motor vehicle rules of the road are not set at a national level. For example, anyone who has driven in car pool lanes in AZ and CA know that the rules...

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    So you think Model Y’s less than attractive front end is a major factor in killing sales? I don’t have any proof one way or the other but I suspect that front end was a minor factor for most recent Y buyers like me. Of course design does matter to each buyer. For example, I bought my 12/2016...

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    Two months ago I traded from a 2/2018 3 to a new Y and the FSD transfer offer did the trick to get me to upgrade. But even though my 12/2016 S is getting a little long in the tooth and free Supercharging for it is nearby, I prefer babying my battery by slow charging in my garage. If I was an...

    FSD V12 (end to end AI)

    As one who has a surface knowledge of e2e as the “new” FSD approach, I don’t understand how it can work when our rules of the road differ significantly among the 50 states and even within each state. For example here in the Phoenix area, there are no car pool lane entry/exit limitations like...

    FSD Owners - Do any of you prefer leaving it off?

    Not surprised you didn’t find any City Streets improvements on your recent FSD drive. I doubt further significant improvements will be done on v11 since v12 is supposedly the focus. My 12/2016 S will hopefully benefit from v12 in “not too many two weeks.” But since Musk warned that HW4 would be...

    Autopilot breaking for roundabouts

    Autopilot wasn’t designed for city streets, period, but until FSD Beta was activated on my two cars in 2021, I of course used it on streets, too, and can’t really say it was that much less useful than FSD Beta has been😀

    FSD Owners - Do any of you prefer leaving it off?

    I have been in FSD Beta for two years on two cars. I mostly only activate it on freeways and straight stretches of city streets (without navigation). If I use it with navigation on city streets it does too many bizarre moves, including incomprehensible lane changes, hesitation at stop signs and...

    Autopilot was about to kill me

    This is a software glitch on both my old Model S and my new Model Y. I think it first happened one or two software iterations ago and may be the most dangerous glitch I can recall in my two years as a Beta tester on two cars. I too did the FSD transfer a month ago: Model 3 to HW4 Model Y and...

    11.4.4 FSD has become to dangerous to use

    Really? Watch his latest video today with his new Y on 11.4.4 bungling his Ann Arbor routes. He was reduced to laughing at how bad it was and mirrors my experience on Phoenix city streets with my new Y. City streets is a joke. Freeways are pretty good but basic AP or EAP are all you need for them.

    11.4.4 HW4 > 11.4.4 HW3

    Hard to believe anyone would bother deciding which version is better. Terrible = terrible. 11.4.4 on my HW4 Y is worthless, at least on city streets. Attempted sudden lane changes into short turning lanes and mindless lane changes on clear straight streets — usually into the least desirable...

    Supercharger - Chandler, AZ - N 54th St

    I remember in the early days of Superchargers that we were told the focus would be on travelers and not commuters. I am much more concerned that a lot of rural areas are still forgotten as Tesla rushes to add urban chargers. Of course I realize Tesla massive sales and the addition of other car...

    FSD functions on used 2018 Model 3

    In the few days before I picked up my new HW4 Model Y, my 2/2018 Model 3 trade-in that started life without any autopilot indeed regressed to basic AP. Of course I have no idea what was on the car when the next owner purchased it. Nice to hear that Tesla seems to be leaving basic AP on cars like...

    OK so you get the Technically Correct award but I think he still was justified in feeling he was screwed since the product he had was really just EAP with a fancier label plus the marvelous stopping at every stoplight feature. I’m sure he enjoyed the car trying to stop at every green light, a...
