Another great one is AutoPilot itself, the Full self driving option, in the announcement in Oct 2016, Elon said “Our goal is — I feel pretty good about this goal — is that we’ll be able to do a demonstration drive of full autonomy, all the way from L.A. to New York — so, basically, from a home...

While I agree that Tesla should definitely be informing customers that continue high performance use of their cars will stress components, And I agree that they should not be on the hook for replacing components because drivers used them outside of their design specs... I don't agree that their...

If you are concerned that the features in that video might not be available for months, you will definitively be disappointed. The only think that has been said is that there might be a demo at the END of 2017 of a coast to coast drive. How long after that until it is actually ready for...

I love the concept of the front camera switch kit, but am worried that it might cause problems with the AP2 hardware autopilot system. Since the rear camera is (supposedly) part of the AP system now, if it starts receiving images from the front will that cause it to do something unexpected...

I agree that this demo was a disgrace, however, that doesn't mean that other approaches would not work better (or they might work worse) For example, from the write-up, this us trying to use a V2X communications system with the lights, which apparently wasn't working, as opposed to the Tesla...

Tts an animated gif, not a video, so the frames v. time is not valid. :)

Have her work through the form with you... and show you the relevant documents. My research shows that there is no income criteria for it... perhaps though she is trying to say something else and not saying it correctly (like maybe she means that you don't get any money back because your...

No argument here, and I recommend them to others based on what I hear... but for a regular "car wash" from someone, I just can't afford a few hundred per month. So, while I agree that I would rather spend more for a better job, sometimes you just don't have it.

The info on the door jam is definitive for the tires that come with the car, and replacing them with any tires met the cars' specifications would have the same pressure requirements. https://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle-Shoppers/Tires-Rating/General-Information-FAQ (question #12, at the end) Even...

Which item at Harbor Freight did you use?

Thanks, i spoke with them already, they sound great, but their cheapest detail is $295.

Grrr, ok then... thanks

WOW! you get a thing a DAY! I usually only get one new thing per month! I have to be really careful about learning new things not to use up all years worth of new stuff :)

Thanks! so.. if I add up the costs to wrap the front, sides, and back of the car, I should come up with about the cost of the full wrap (for a model s with sunroof) or generally in that neighborhood at least. I was trying to figure out if there was something wonky about the roof that...

I played with a stylus a little, and it didn't work well for me, it was always bouncing around while driving and I seemed to need to pay more attention to it than my fingers. (not a good thing while driving). I can see though it could be better if you had steadier hands. What almost feels...

yup, she's always thinking ahead.

I agree, there is a terminology challenge here... For what it's worth, here's my breakdown (it's a little different from yours, though not materially :)). AP1 (Autopilot Hardware v1): This was the hardware AND software license to use it for the old cars. AP2 (Autopilot Hardware v2): This is...

Like everyone, I want to thank you for sharing... I have a few questions, I am looking at Xpel paint protection... When I start looking at prices, it is about 1700 for hood, front quarter panels, mirrors, front bumper... then if I add the doors, it's +1600, and +800 for the back stuff. that...

HomeLink question... (not working?) on my app, the HomeLink is grey indicating that there is no HomeLink nearby, however there is, and it works fine from the car (including auto open/close). The RemoteS car is filled in (solid white), so that's not the problem. I have a new model car (AP2...

TESLA touch screen driving gloves review... part 2: Glove Design: The outer styling seems pretty standard for a leather glove, with the Tesla logo stamped into the snap and on the inner tag. Touch Screen Sensing: when you look closely at the thumb and pointing finger (or index finger, first...

OK, lets see... Tesla model S on order... check. HPWC installed in garage... check. Straight-jacket ready for the wait... (wife took care of this). how to operate the touch screen when it's really cold out... hmm... So, I did a search for touch screen gloves (Google "touch screen gloves"...

While I agree with BerTX in terms of the feelings about dislike v. disagree, it feels like in terms of being a quick button, at least the dislike option generally doesn't need an explanation whereas the disagree really needs something more. I think that a user should not be able to click on the...

I cant speak from experience in terms of how much this impacts (or doesn't impact) updates, but I will say that if you are testing from your phone, and if your access point is newer than 4-5 years, it is very likely that even if you have the same signal levels on both, your phone is going to be...

That makes sense, and it doesn't bother me, as you said, I can get that 3% back really quickly if needed, I just wanted to make sure that it was operating as designed. Sorry, I was trying for sarcasm and apparently failing <grin>, though in the end, I would rather people didn't take me...

Parking thing? the lock/unlock button you mean? if so, from what I heard it was on other cars for a while, but it was definitively not on my car since I got it a few weeks ago (on v2.46.30) I was grumbling about the lack of such a button to another owner and he said something like "sure...

Ummm, why the dislike flag @Snerruc ?

My car upgraded to firmware version 2.50.180 last night, (OK, it didn't do it all by itself, I did kick it off). couple of interesting things about the update though. (probably these are already known). The upgrade also included the 2.48.xx features (auto-on headlights, speed limit sensing...

It appears that the Tesla only will charge once per time it is plugged in... (without a workaround). I plugged my car in after work and it charged to 90%. The next morning my daughter asked me to take her to school so I pre-heated the car, then she didn't need the ride (and I forgot to turn...

In addition, there have been a few other issues that TMC members have found: If your home network uses addresses like 192.168.20.x the car wont connect (it probably uses that range internally) WiFi not connecting - general The car is restricted to using the b and g 2.4Ghz ranges, which...

Why? (not disagreeing, I haven't seen anything that seems to suggest this, and it seems like it would make more sense for them to have one team for all "self driving" features.) They did say they are all always on and sending data back to Tesla, so it's really a matter if deciding to use the...

I think the point is that this version will be less likely to just stop driving at the drop of a hat and be much less confused in as many situations. AP1 had 1 camera and lower quality ultrasonic sensors... AP2 has (at least) 3 additional cameras and better sensors that reach out to 12' (so...

I agree, see the end of my post! I dont know this to be true, but it makes more sense to me that they would use whatever cameras make the most sense per feature, and then sell the features in the packages... rather than saying you have 4 cameras here, and 8 there, *given that they have...

I do expect it to work better than AP1 initially, (at least I REALLY HOPE SO!), for all the reasons you mentioned. I was simply saying that I don't expect it to handle things like on-ramp/off-ramp, and smart-summon right away. I expect that in Jan we will see AP2 cars that will have the same...

I agree that AP2 will be working AT THE LEVEL of AP1 (in terms of features at least). I don't expect it to do everything that it is talking about by Jan (I would be very happy to be wrong here!)

If bought in September, you are out of luck... if you want to be sure, if you have cameras on the side (where the Tesla logo's are right in front of the front doors), then you car has AP2 hardware and can handle full self driving option if you want. if you don't (and since it was announced...

Ok, let me try to address some of these points without name calling... 1. Automatic Lane Changes: You are correct that the car would need to know what lane it is in, and what lane to be in... and you are correct in the inaccuracies of GPS. In general, GPS can get to as low as 0.01m in...

Pay for a plane ticket for one of the family members to fly to you in CA and let them drive it home... good practice in distance driving and they get to visit!

I think that in some areas having hardware built into the road will enable autonomous driving in places where it probably can't happen using video, but in some places where there already are good road markings and places that do not have very bad weather regularly, I think we will be able to see...

I think that wide spread fully autonomous use is probably going to come sooner than one decade. I think the people who think that autonomous cars will REPLACE non-autonomous cars within a decade are way off the mark, and I would be surprised to see it faster than 5 years or so, but I think that...

Has anyone looked at adding heating elements near / around the radar antenna? (something like: Clear View Defroster Order Guide) It seems like the radar is used for a number of things, including some of the automatic safety features and it would be good to make sure it was always clear (above...

To me, it of course depends on the situation: For a stranger (like plugshare), I would think that bringing a small gift would be the best, or at least offering to pay 5-10 bucks. Just showing up and "expecting" to use the power seems pretty cheeky and possibly a bit rude. Even though the...

Actually, until it is more "hands off", it seems like the HUD would be really helpful, though it would have to be integrated to see the benefit. My thought is that right now, to really monitor the system, you have to keep looking down to watch the autopilot display to see if it has lost the...

Has anyone tried any of the 3rd Party HUD's? either the ones that you put a smartphone in, or the ones that have a built in projector? Any good? Worth having? It seems like, since they would not be integrated with the car, they might not be as useful as they could be in a normal car... thoughts?

Possibly, depending on how far in the future it is... if the job is for future proofing, and it is in the category of "maybe, in 3-5 years" then it's probably better to keep the money now... if it is likely to happen in less than a year, definitely... but again, that's why I suggested getting...

I actually agree with Eclectric on this one, but not as much in the 5-7 year time frame, I think that the model 3 challenges will hit in the 2-5 year time frame, by 5 years, they will either have them fixed, or not be around to worry about the rest of the things. However within that 2-5 year...

Just received my "in production" email, and it has links to some videos that I hadn't seen about them retooling the factory: Learn more about how your Tesla is built and see our factory in action. Did you know our current line took 65,000 Tesla man-hours to retool over a period of 2 weeks? Our...

I think that the minute that electric and hybrid cars began outperforming gas cars, the industry changed. it may take another decade or more to finish it off, but as people start to see electrics being used in NASCAR, or Formula E it will change how people see them. In addition, as soon as...

I dont agree here... I do think that Tesla will have to change, but that doesn't mean they will have to change to the traditional model. They could approach service like they do body shops and certify external companies to work on the cars. For inventory, they could follow their current model...

True... sort of... some electricians will charge based on a "book" price, which is significantly higher for a 100A circuit than for a 60A circuit, and then simply add the extra cost of the larger wire.. meaning, in those cases, the 60A could be much less, even though it is not much different...
