    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    You're not a true investor in TSLA unless you still have 15 shares dated 12/23/2019 currently showing purchased at $28.046. If you know, you know.

    And I thought I was doing good with some shares up over 1000% The FUD is thick today. I envy you and a few others that resist hitting the ignore option. Thanks for taking one a lot for the team. Same goes for others here that have a stronger constitution than I have.

    All these posts attempting to make a sticky wicket out of the Cybertruck accelerator problem need to know adhesives like Gorilla glue or Flex Glue work really well. A less than 5 minute visit by a Tesla mobile service tech and you're good to go.

    But here he said FSD was engaged right before stopping at the circle. "Good question. I engaged FSD right before stopping at the circle entrance." Probably beat this horse to death in this (wrong) thread. Without exact details (there was no video offered) it's next to impossible to determine...

    Agreed. Just did a street level view of the circle, and there’s no way FSD should have entered the BP lot without going around the circle. There’s a one way sign clearly visible.

    Perhaps, however, the OP didn’t state when the destination was initiated, just when the route was started. A lot of variables at play, and little info supplied to evaluate the event. I haven’t followed the technical aspects of the maps Tesla uses for a few years now, so my memory may be...

    Maybe it detected a big a-hole behind the wheel and thought the car was stolen and went into limp mode?

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Okay, but your first post stated "on my next approach into the circle" implying you were already under control of FSD and moving. Perhaps I read it wrong... It's not clear to me that this is a valid use case for FSD, initiating routing to a location that is what, 100 feet away? Perhaps a...

    I thought about this some more. Given that there is an entrance to the PB from the road you were on, before the traffic circle, why, after seeing the car was route planning either around the circle, wrong way or not, would you even have let it go past said entrance? Makes no sense.

    No, the real question is, did you hit voice feedback after the "what happened" prompt, assuming your MX has the option, as not all S/X do, depending on age.

    You've never used autopilot, and by extension, never used FSD, and one corner case makes it useless to you? I have not let AP or now V12 FSD pass without a disengagement and giving as wide a berth as is necessary. Maybe I'll slap my GoPro on next time and test it out for you. Can't have you...

    Ignore it. Only give feedback when it’s warranted. I have been traveling roads in PA that are in a heavily populated Amish community. My biggest FSD complaint is its insistence on exact lane centering, as opposed to what every driver recognizes as the correct drivable space. Just as...

    Since this is officially, mod approved so to speak, a weekend FSD thread, I’ll add this. While I haven’t tried it, I’d think that hitting “end trip” would stop FSD without registering a disengagement event. Also, not sure about newer S/X, but the older cars have not offered a prompt after a...

    Yep, fully aware. However, that’s why I said “unless something changed.” Also why I said “probably to completion.” Back years ago when I used to monitor network traffic when installing, I’d see bidirectional traffic, and my feeling still is that “installing” still needs a wifi connection...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Got the notice overnight for our late '23 MY, installed early this AM. Have not had any trips with FSD 11 without many disengagements for the same host of reasons others have had. Yesterday afternoon was the last straw, and as I mashed the voice feedback for the "what happened?" notice, I...

    Kicking the tires worked, albeit slowly. 12.3 FSD on our Y good to go. What worked? Who knows, but I stopped watching the TSLA ticker for a day as well to knock a few items off the todo list. And low and behold, I also received the E-Mail invite for the Foundation Cybertruck! So here I sit...

    Which is why you wait until the vehicle is mostly full of water, and the pressure is equalized and the door opens very easily. And if you’re concerned about breaking windows for emergency egress, there are cheap devices for that. All emergency personnel are supposed to have them as well.

    Oct 18 (Reuters) - Tesla's third-quarter gross margin shrank from a year earlier as the electric automaker slashed prices to boost demand in the face of rising interest rates.
