    Can confirm Traffic Lights and Stop Sign Controls!

    2020.12.6

    Probably just bug fixes, but I'm almost done installing will update if its NOT just fixes.

    New 2020.12 Visualizations

    Thats right, but that patent is so broad that its seriously infringing on being monopolistic. Also you know Mobileye is keeping a very close look at Tesla because of their past partnership but also because Mobileye is striving to be the first to market with a viable vision-based FSD system. For...

    New 2020.12 Visualizations

    His car is big because the there are no cars detected to the left and right of him, which is what Tesla uses to determine whether it should zoom out. Since he seems to be on a single lane road it will stay big. Once he gets to the 2+ lane road and another car is detected in the additional...

    2020.8.1 Another useless update for most of us

    I hear your frustration and have in fact just made a video explaining what Tesla has been up to and why no "Major" software updates in 2020 so far specifically for FSD. Not gonna post it here but click the link in my sig if interested. That said, its important to know that Dashcam and Sentry...

    Full Self Driving, Model 3, 2020 only.

    lol its really simple, Ford had copyrights on Co-Pilot so Elon went with Autopilot. Probably not the best alternate but thats what he went with :confused:

    Full Self Driving, Model 3, 2020 only.

    @DanCar are you a mod here? The topic as the title states is whether people have regrets about purchasing the FSD package, to which I have already replied. The comment that you summarized poorly is in response to the comment/assertion that there are functioning Full Self-Driving features in...

    Full Self Driving, Model 3, 2020 only.

    I disagree that table is a list of Tesla features as they correspond to the packages they sell (Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot, "FSD"). I still stand by my statement there are no production FSD features out on general release. The term "self-driving" by definition means little to no human...

    Tesla Referral Program

    I can confirm the value of the founders series PW2 by Tesla accounting is $5,500USD. So that is likely what the value will be if/when 1099's come up.

    Full Self Driving, Model 3, 2020 only.

    Not sure what your use case is but have driven several model 3's and had no issue with autopark. Are you going below 18mph and driving past the spot completely (halfway to the next car in front) so that the sensors scan the spot? If so then let service know, if not give it a try and you will...

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    Got it, still interesting nonetheless.

    Is Your MCU1 Model X Still on 2019.40.2.1?

    Yes it looks like they halted rollout of updates while they fix bugs of the latest builds and try and deal with the MCU1 issues quietly. Hopefully they get it sorted soon and get back on track.

    Full Self Driving, Model 3, 2020 only.

    What is a "2020 Model 3"? Whether anyone has regrets is totally subjective but, keep in mind there are currently no active FSD features in public release yet. Lots of Autopilot features but FSD features have not been deployed so I'd recommend reserving judgement or remorse until they are out...

    Tesla Update 2019.40.50.7

    I find that if you engage AP when your car is not relatively centered in the lane it throws AP off and causes ping-ponging. If you disengage and center your car then reengage it stops. Give that a try and see if it helps.

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    Good to see that they've updated something for those with the 85kwh packs! Good question by @ucmndd if they are actually using a paired down 100kwh pack and just putting a label on it as 85kwh. A new pack will always ready higher than normal rated range until it calibrates from depletion and...

    2019.36.x

    Very odd, just for curiosity sake, not meant as an insult....are you sure you have a Performance (Raven) and not a P100DL?
  17. BLKTSLA

    2019.36.x

    Interesting, you should have gotten the performance boost, either a 3% increase in power or Ludicrous Mode Boost as noted in the release notes above. Take a snapshot of your release notes pls.

    Model S EZ Pass placement

    Any "refresh" model S doesnt have the metallic coating and EZ-Pass or Sunpass can be placed anywhere on the windshield, and even on the dashboard and be read easily. Common place to put it is behind the rearview so it doesnt obstruct your view.

    Supercharger - Cape May, NJ

    @model3fan @GlmnAlyAirCar I made a video featuring the charging conundrum in Cape May. In reality, if you are going to Cape May for vacation and do not have a destination charger to charge overnight anything less than a Supercharger is a huge inconvenience and takes hours out of your vacation...

    Ordered a new P100DL to replace my 2015 90D. What's changed?

    @amalinovich Congrats on the upgrade you won't regret it especially coming from a non-performance car to the P100DL! That said I made a video outlining the notable differences from older cars to the new P100D take a look when you get a chance. In addition to the points mentioned in the video...

    v9, how to move camera to the upper part of the screen for safety

    Are you talking about having the media player up halfway and then activating the backup cam? This will allow it to be almost at the very top of the screen at all times.

    Software Update 2019.12.x

    Are you guys coming from 12.1 or something earlier? If you are coming from an earlier release, they removed the "Max Battery" button and tied it to the Ludicrous+ mode. Therefore when you switch to L+ it will popup showing "Max Battery" activated. To enable Launch mode you need to hold the L+...

    P85D -> P100D upgrade decision...

    Not saying the LED's are better, especially the spill pattern, just saying its not as bad as you may think when you get used to it. Premium Sound system is what I am referring to, and subjectively speaking the Tesla sound system wont really compete with a B&O, ML, or Bose car system so if thats...

    P85D -> P100D upgrade decision...

    @sorka 2) Can confirm LED spill pattern was an issue for me before upgrading didn't like the pattern in comparison nor did I like the angle they were pointed (more of a spotlight directly in front of the car instead of lights that light up the roadway). However, they've grown on me and the...

    updated Ludicrous+ button isn’t correct

    Yes the new button does not do what most expect it to do. You should be able to switch the slider to L+ and the prompt for (Yes bring it on or no I want my mommy) should appear and when selecting YES it should automatically initiate Max Battery and get the Purple band in the Energy Graph and...

    tollbooth, nav on autopilot limited

    Its both GPS and Vision-based detection of Tollbooths, and the warning now just says "Autopilot limited" when approaching a tollbooth. When NoA was first released it actually just said "Tollbooth Detected".

    What will the Homelink do?

    Homelink will Automatically Open on approach and Close when leaving only. You still need to open initially from your garage or through the UI, and close when you park in the garage through the UI or the manual button on the wall.

    Sentry mode instructions?

    There might be something to this. I also haven't had any USB corruption on the dashcam either even when I forget to pause the recording before leaving the car...but haven't plugged into a computer either. I thought it was the update that may have fixed it but we will see...

    “Service changes” - no car wash, Lyft, loaner policy

    Thanks for the update, sad to see what IMO was stellar service (most of the time) get diminished in an effort to cut costs.

    Enhanced Summon has starting rolling out

    I've been saying it for a while now but would love for the car to have its hazards on while summon is active. Since the car makes little to no noise, a visual indicator that its moving would be helpful to pedestrians, and for other drivers to see it moving at a snails pace and can choose to move...

    Tesla Referral Program

    What HLR said! This is just like the original referral program where each referral would give people an entry into a lottery for a free S/X P100DL. Only problem is that the drawings were never public, so they could pick "anyone". Hopefully this is changed and they do an actual drawing via...

    Founder's Powerwall Installed

    @HankLloydRight thanks for sharing, how long did the install take? What was your out of pocket cost? (understanding that Tesla comps the install via a credit but there are still a small fee you have to pay)

    Car always sleeping!

    @slevit1md If you have a 2018 MX then you likely have the new MCU2 that always sleeps, which is why you always have to wait for it to wake using the app and sometime even to power up when getting in :(. The older MCU1 had a power savings option that allowed the car to not sleep as often or deep...

    Supercharger - Paramus, NJ

    Yep there are 2 inside of the service center at both Paramus and Springfield. They are not supposed to show up on the maps though so it might be a mistake.

    Supercharger - Rockaway NJ

    @Santa Claws - I've recommended to all my friends that have bought a PM3 with FUSC to keep it, it will add more value when you're ready to sell or upgrade, and the fact that its not coming back makes it rare, and with SCv3 coming it will definitely be valuable to someone.
  38. BLKTSLA

    OMG - Wake Times from app are SOOOOHHHOOO SLOW.

    @jjrandorin is correct they are working on the issue so should be resolved soon. The reason why this wasn't the case in the OP's MS is because he most likely had MCU1 which worked differently and had an energy management mode to allow users to "choose" to deep sleep or stay always connected...

    P85D -> P100D upgrade decision...

    I was always in favor of having legacy owners get free unlimited supercharging at the account level, rewarding early adopters with that perk and allow them to keep it AND have no hesitation in upgrading. This would be a limited number of owners, and that number would get smaller and smaller in...

    P85D -> P100D upgrade decision...

    Sure thing, take a look at the owners manual for each and see the difference albeit slight for the different models. https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_s_owners_manual_north_america_en_us.pdf...

    P85D -> P100D upgrade decision...

    Interesting thread to see how everyone is thinking. I went P85 picked up just before the release of P85D :(, decided to skip P85D for the "next upgrade" but saw all of the 90kwh battery degradation issues and decided to hold on a little longer. Car was in the shop waiting for part for 3 weeks in...

    Vegan vs leather steering wheel

    It's definitely possible that if you have an early 2015 build you have the leather steering wheel. I personally prefer the synthetic's ability to resist scratches and not absorb oil as much. Scratches on the leather wheel are unsightly.:(
