    FSD on city streets coming later this year with reliability far in excess of human drivers!

    Great... let’s see though. So far, FSD has brought nothing... and some people bought it over 2 years ago, some on leases... some people got ripped off. FSD is just a bet that so far hasn’t paid off at all...

    FSD on city streets coming later this year with reliability far in excess of human drivers!

    They just should have let solar city go bankrupt. That bailout cost $8 billion and was a complete waste of money.. anyway it’s done... Im glad they managed to deploy the model 3 despite that

    FSD on city streets coming later this year with reliability far in excess of human drivers!

    IMO stop sign and ref light recognition is a major safety thing. Leaving full self driving aside... it would be really bad if they left that out of scope for all cars. FSD is too expensive IMO. You are going to have millions of car on the road... mostly cheaper $35-$40k cars. You think those...

    Blog 'How Embarrassing' Could Musk's Fight With the SEC Get?

    Always remember: The rule is the Wall Street thugs get the news first! How do you think insider trading would work if all news was broadcasted to everyone at the same time? And to top it off using a FREE service? Are you kidding me!! The SEC would never let that happen.. ..and guess who sits...

    FSD on city streets coming later this year with reliability far in excess of human drivers!

    It’s gonna be kind of weird to have nav on autopilot working except for the part of stop lights etc... I hope you are wrong but it’s obviously wishful thinking because I really don’t want to spend another $3k on my car, especially considering that they slashed the price across the board by $3k...

    FSD on city streets coming later this year with reliability far in excess of human drivers!

    Not sure... but I have been playing with the navigation system a lot and I’m really stunned at how accurate positioning is. Like... try visioning the navigation system once you are parked, you will see... it’s accurate within a meter or less. So if positioning is super precise... it should be...

    Tried to turn on winshield wipers while driving; instead put the car in Park

    I live in a very rainy area called SoCal... So.. I was driving the other day and it was raining (it rains a lot in LA).. of course the “auto” winshield wipers were not working (which I think we can all agree on is the worst feature of the car but that’s another subject) and I tried to turn them...

    Why didn’t Tesla use indirect (ABS) TPMS?

    As long as they don’t come up with a vision / machine learning solution like they did with the windshield wipers I am all good. Happy Thanksgiving

    Performance Upgrade Price Change!

    You guys should only blame yourselves. The $5k package was well priced. Try getting something similar aftermarket for $5k.. You guys got a supercar with aero wheels and Prius tires. I am actually being nice because it turns out that my 2017 Chevy volt has much better braking specs than a P3D-...

    Enough Superchargers for Thanksgiving?

    I think the root cause of the problem is the free supercharging.. you drive close to a supercharger it’s tempting to just go charge and go for a free ice cream.. that’s especially true when the supercharger is in a nice location.

    Will Navigate on Auto Pilot be safer than humans?

    Will Navigate on Auto Pilot be safer than humans?

    I think Nav on autopilot is not a good solution. Nav on autopilot is more like self driving. Before working on Nav on autopilot Tesla should first address the issues with autopilot: 1/ phantom braking. I am surprised this hasn’t caused an accident as yet. You can pay attention as much as you...

    Switching from TM3 to Jaguar I-Pace

    260 wh/km is very high. You drive a similar speed on a model 3 with aero wheels you’ll probably average 240 - 250 watts per MILE.. so 160 wh/km.

    Is Autopilot as awesome for you as it is for me?

    For sure you don’t want to buy a Tesla without EAP. It’s a wonderful driving assist. It makes driving safer, not the other way around. The problem in my opinion is that there is a lot of confusion with EAP and a lot of people are expecting self driving. I feel Tesla and Elon Musk are somewhat...

    Is Autopilot as awesome for you as it is for me?

    Thanks for the feedback. For the phantom braking episode it hit the brakes pretty hard... I was totally caught off guard and didn’t have my right foot close to the gas pedal... it probably took me 2 seconds to react... thank god there was nobody behind me.

    Is Autopilot as awesome for you as it is for me?

    In your experience.. did it change the behavior of autopilot? I used it on a small section of a freeway I always use with EAP and encountered phantom braking... I had never encountered phantom braking on that stretch before

    Is Autopilot as awesome for you as it is for me?

    I love EAP but tried “navigate on autopilot” for the first time tonight and I am less than impressed. It definitely seems to make autopilot less confident (more phantom braking)

    Steve Wozniak doubts fully self-driving vehicles are 'quite possible yet’

    It seems pretty obvious that FSD is going nowhere. Indeed I strongly suspect that Tesla was initially planning to release “drive on autopilot” as part of FSD. Remember those talks about FSD features “coming out this summer” announced a few months ago by Elon?

    Switching from TM3 to Jaguar I-Pace

    I personally urged people at the beginning of this thread... if you really want this car... wait for the lease. Don’t be one of the suckers who buy this for $80k. Jaguar is going to be forced to dump these on the market in the US anyway. They for the most part sell gas guzzlers. Just my 2...

    Switching from TM3 to Jaguar I-Pace

    You can also walk from LA to New York.. just because you “can” it doesn’t mean you should Did you see actual user reviews? Look at Björn Nyland drive from Norway to Germany. 450 watts per mile average and 50 kWh charging. It’s not good.

    Track Mode Rolling out Today!

    Tesla Model 3 Performance Track Mode Rushes Past Ferrari And Alfa Romeo

    I don’t think Elon is correct when he says the S would do better than the 3. This is a very tight track. Highest speed is like 80 mph. This doesn’t sound like a good track for the model S.

    Help me: Buy a Used Model 3 or Used Model S?

    I am with you but today’s buyers face a whole set of different factors: - Your RWD Model 3 and mine have an EPA range of 334 miles. The MR has a range of only 260 miles. - The savings for losing so much range is only $3,000. I find the savings really hardly worth it. - I will leave aside the...

    Help me: Buy a Used Model 3 or Used Model S?

    I don’t know if it’s complicated or if it simplifies your choice. I would get the AWD for $3,250 extra I know it’s a lot... but if you can spend $50k on a used S (out of warranty in 2 years and which costs a fortune to repair), you can definitely spend $55k on a brand new AWD model 3.

    Navigate on Autopilot is Going to Cause Accidents

    Granted I don’t have “drive on autopilot” yet... but I have used autopilot enough to know that I would never ever use it at that location (I live close by) What you tried here is a major no no. My advice is stay out of the carpool lane (especially if there isn’t any traffic like in your video)...

    Is auto tuning dead with EVs

    Generally.. The US is a lot more liberal when it comes to cars IMO. Things like tinted windows or missing front license plates.. you are never going to get away with that in Europe. You can’t even change the license plates yourself you have to go to a special shop.

    Tesla Model 3 Performance vs BMW M3 - The Mic Drop

    One thing I noticed is I haven’t seen a brand new M3 on the road for a long time. I think a lot of people got frustrated that they got rid of the V8 too.. the previous M3 with the V8 engine sounded so much better... Anyway... some like me got ridiculed 6 months ago for suggesting the...

    MR and AWD

    Incorrect. The AWD uses 11 percent more electricity per mile than RWD. The AWD MR would have a rated range of ~230 miles. That definitely doesn’t make a very compelling argument to spend $4k for AWD. Not saying it’s impossible.. but I think it’s highly unlikely if you ask me (and who would buy...

    Drive on Navigation being released

    Absolute Minimum Paint Care

    This got me thinking. I was gonna buy a model S 2 years ago instead of waiting for the 3. I ended up leasing a Chevy volt. AP 1 S60 for $74k. If I traded it in today.. how much would Tesla give me? I looked at prices on their website and my best guess was $45k That is nearly $30k on a 2 year...

    EV Comparison: Tesla Model 3 Versus Chevy Bolt

    I think you make a point. We can’t look at cars from traditional automakers and rely on MSRP. So the price of the bolt is more like $31k. I still feel a $45k model 3 has much more bang for the buck. It’s kind of like a BMW 340i without the maintenance headaches and the huge gasoline cost. On...

    BUY FSD TODAY!

    I think it will be a great opportunity to make a quick buck.. and what better opportunity to make a quick buck than to sell this to all EAP customers (not just the very few who purchased FSD)? Also they could sell this as part of the EAP upgrade for those who don’t have EAP

    I’m so confused about FSD!!

    I think the problem about discussing FSD here is that you have a lot of people on this forum who purchased FSD but will never admit that it was likely a waste of money, so they will just try to convince other people to do the same. I will remind that the vast majority of model 3 purchases did...

    Considering getting the FSD package, not sure I'm thinking clearly

    So ARM chips are cheap and effort to install is low. Let’s assume for 1 second that this chip really makes a difference (IMO that needs to be verified) Would Tesla really not give the opportunity for existing EAP customers to upgrade and leave them far behind? They could charge a few hundreds...
