    AP1 owners take heart

    This is why Elon has referenced much higher resolution maps being necessary for full autonomy. With high resolution maps, and high accuracy GPS, then all you need is the radar to make sure there's not something in that lane that shouldn't be there. Driving in fog too heavy to see is dangerous...

    A Step in the Wrong Direction: AP 2.0 Hardware (for now...)

    More like 1 step back, 4 steps forward. Level 2 is Level 1 for a couple months, then from Level 1 begins the inexorable march toward Level 5.

    Good luck! I appreciate your love of Tesla and optimism in the face of some annoying challenges. Keep us updated.

    AP Nags... does this happen to anyone else?

    Service center has pulled logs and is supposed to get back to me today. I'll post what they find.

    AP Nags... does this happen to anyone else?

    Ok, thank you. Based on the responses here I have email the local service center about an hour and a half ago. No response yet.

    AP Nags... does this happen to anyone else?

    For further clarity, I am putting no pressure on the wheel with my hand. Simply light resting a hand on the wheel. If I pull continuously with a pound or two of torque, the nags will of course not appear.

    AP Nags... does this happen to anyone else?

    Hi, This behavior is something I wanted to see if anyone else experiences. A few times a week, my AP will break its normal behavior and nag incessantly for several minutes. In this video, you will see 5 nags in 1 minutes and 20 seconds (the first one is at the very beginning). There are never...

    Tesla Referral Program

    Update, I hit 10 referrals last night!!! Two of them came through TMC, so I gave the cash to the aforementioned gentleman this morning. With his permission, I am posting his picture here. His name is Ben, and he told me of some recent hardships he has dealt with medically that made this very...

    Tesla Referral Program

    Update! I got a referral through TMC this week, so level 1 commitment is met and a $20 goes to the gentleman I mention above tomorrow. I'll take a pic and post here. Next level is a $50 for him. As a reminder e-FTW and I have teamed up with two great referral options for animal and human...

    Where do my feet go during autopilot?

    Mine are usually kicked up on the dash. Alcantara feels so nice against the soles of your feet. I kid. AP police please stand down.

    Not sure I buy it: P85 vs 90D

    Congratulations!!! Great choice, great car, great times ahead. Owning a Tesla is a life changing experience and one of the few things that can remind one of the wonder technology inspired in the imagination of childhood.

    Increased consumption in 8.0?

    Just anecdotally, my Wh/m seemed to increase somewhat substantially in the first day or two after 8.0, and my commute went from consuming ~35 miles of range to closer to 50 miles of range. However, this reverted back after a couple days, and I now see consumption at previous levels... or...

    Precisely. In addition to slowing my S uttered a sigh of disapproval.

    My S detected pedestrians illegally crossing the road today and slowed. No visual representation on the display, but slowed until they passed nonetheless. I love you Elon.

    Wondered if it might be that. This is my first fall and winter with my baby... does heating in winter consume more energy than cooling in the summer?

    Anyone else noticing an apparent increase in energy consumption with 8.0?

    The behavior appears to have stopped for me, so I suspect the nav/database speculation earlier was correct. Time to resume my normal Tesla love. Have I mentioned how much I love this car? :)

    This was not happening to me until today, and I upgraded on Tuesday. I had Nav and Web Browser open on my display. Any commonality with what others had open on theirs?

    Ummmm. Anyone else had this happen? I'm on my evening commute and my center console has just rebooted twice while driving within about 5 minutes. Black screen, Tesla symbol, then comes back online 30 seconds later. No impact on the steering display and no impact on the drive. This has never...

    AP in 8.0

    Fair, but I think as many have noted the USB implementation feels 'half baked". I confess to being a glass half full type of guy, but that sounds suspiciously to me like the are in the middle of an overhaul and released what essentially and alpha version in order to not hold up AP. I think the...

    AP in 8.0

    Some additional thoughts on 8.0 and AP. There has been much criticism here on TMC of some elements of this update. Particularly the media player for those that use USB, and the nav system. A list of other small issues persist as well... the things that users here have been asking to have...

    AP in 8.0

    I posted the following in the sticky 8.0 thread, but thought it belonged here too. So I've driven about three hours with the new 8.0 AP and here are my observations: - As many have noted, stop and go is buttery smooth. I drive a lot of bumper to bumper freeway time and this car is now PERFECT...

    Wasn't the best neighborhood, but I have a concealed carry permit and a Glock in the glovebox. My Glock never requires a firmware upgrade for operation. Everything went smoothly... testing now and will give AP specific observations later this afternoon.

    Firmware 8.0

    Just got the update notice while driving with my phone tethered for wifi access. This is the first time I've received an update at any time other than overnight, so I can only presume they are pushing this update out hard today. I immediately pulled into the nearest parking lot and started the...

    Negativity bias?

    Absolutely correct. A cognitive negativity bias has been confirmed as part of the human condition, first through scientific method, then more strongly corroborated through the Tesla forums. In no particular order my experience has been: - Amazing service - Flawless vehicle deliver (though the...

    Isn't it obvious? I will escalate the matter to a state of pitiful pleading. Well, perhaps I already have.

    Sigh. Very disappointed in you Elon. Surely you know I'm one of the most avid AP users with approximately 80% of all my mileage being AP. Why have you not personally moved me to the front of the line for V8 sweetness? Am I supposed to be patient just because you have thousands of other...

    7.1 > 8.0? Seems like an update for Tesla's legal team, and a net loss for customers.

    Drive my daily commute and tell me how much fun driving is.;)

    7.1 > 8.0? Seems like an update for Tesla's legal team, and a net loss for customers.

    Thank you Saghost. It all reads as being a bit undetermined in that interview. I think I'll wait for some user reports before updating, but hopefully it works the way he describes.

    7.1 > 8.0? Seems like an update for Tesla's legal team, and a net loss for customers.

    If this is true, wonderful! I'll update. The last thing I want to be is the subject of bad press for Tesla (or the cause of genuine harm to someone else)...so staying on the wheel at speeds high enough for injury is sensible. When I'm traveling slowly enough I couldn't really harm anything much...

    7.1 > 8.0? Seems like an update for Tesla's legal team, and a net loss for customers.

    Is it confirmed that AP will nag at mandatory intervals? When I am driving at anything over about 10 mph, or in any unknown area at any speed, my hands are on the wheel. When in bumper to bumper 5 mph traffic for 90 minutes a day each way on a straight freeway I know well (yes, that's my daily...

    Ok. False alarm... I did a system reset when I got to the gym and on the way home everything was performing nicely again. So sorry for the panic post, I am just deathly afraid the media, nanny state, and irresponsible owners are conspiring to nerf my beloved autopilot. I actually got so...

    Estimated not timed, but pretty darn close to 30 seconds I would say. My hands were off the wheel or very lightly on the whee but with me paying constant attention.

    Firmware 7.1

    Ugh!!! Upgraded to 2.36.31 and on my first commute home the car hit me with the 'hold steering wheel' nag every 30 seconds all the way home for 35 miles. Please tell me this isn't the new standard behavior for the MS

    Firmware 7.1

    This was my experience as well... .19 was having some pretty significant challenges with autopilot behavior. It seemed less stable than what my car was picked up with in June. Driving in this morning after the .32 update was the smoothest my A.P. had performed since I got the vehicle. So, so...

    Firmware 7.1

    Ugh. Since 2.28.19 my nag reminder pops up in ASAP almost every minute. I travel on a straight, flat freeway to and from work and had flawless AP performance without constant nags on this road before the update. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    At 45, I should be better than this!

    Congrats! I had the same thing here in the states. I was able to confirm after just two or three days. Made me smile too. And then just fed further maniacal refreshing of the page.

    No, sorry for the confusion, I did not tint the windshield... Just everything else. Got the Llumar 35 installed for $250; the guy did a phenomenal job. I think rather than installing the HD feed into the garage, I'm just going to move my daughter to the garage and convert her room to keep the...

    Congrats! Now that the beast is stabled, I know that my pining was merited. Yours is too. Sorry Jl, but not a country fan. Vacation has been difficult. I check the Tesa App daily to ensure Shadowfax still rests easy at the proper address, and occasionally check his cabin temp during the heat...
