    Can anyone else confirm if this is happening on your update? I wonder if this is related to something I posted about a couple of months ago. I can't talk about it currently, but if you search, you can put two and two together.

    Luckily ev-fw is showing 2 updates for AP2...Fingers crossed that it's bringing some stability and improvements!

    So SilkySmooth never happened now waithing on SomethingSpecial

    Fellow GA driver here... The 20/75/85 ramps and turns are horrible on "silky smooth". More like, "hug.the.inside.lane.marker" or "disengage.for.every.bend" And i keep reading about calibration, but really? The dash SHOWS that it's hugging the lane, sometimes creeping into the next lane, so it...

    Just touching base since I promised to keep everyone updated. Car is still in the SC. Not much news that is ready to be reported on, maybe more questions than answers at this point.

    That's interesting - You kind of elude to it, but by your picture, I see slivers of sunlight; so I'm assuming you were in bright daylight, and expected the headlights to turn off... I've seen it take some time for lanes to show up occasionally, but I don't think I recall ever missing all "road...

    Great question - Yes, fog lights were on, and they shut off along with the headlights. I think you can see it in the second video where I flip them on and off, and show the center console. It's literally as if the car thinks it's light outside. Can anyone confirm if there IS a discreet light...

    I think there's a lot more consensus in this thread than not. We all want the same thing... hell, I don't care if we call it a design flaw, a safety issue, or even a [Loretta Lynch] "matter". All of those definitions are irrelevant. We may have an issue, or simply I may have an issue...unknown...

    It could also be considered a design issue when you look at the lack of failsafes. The failsafe under this circumstance would be for the lights to be on... if it is indeed a sensor issue. See my previous post which posed those questions to the service center. As far as going back out on the...

    Wow, I had no idea that happened. I haven't been contacted at all, so it's interesting to hear that they msg'd you simply for stating what people were saying. That's too bad, but your support is appreciated. Thanks for reading. I'll keep everyone updated as I hear anything. We were lucky that...

    This is a great point, and something I wrote to them last night, I'll quote my email: Was thinking through a couple of additional things on my drive tonight: - Can you see what the ECU was detecting at the moment the lights turned off? - Did it detect daylight? - Did it report back...

    So how did you miss the part about me reporting it to them multiple times? But since I've made a commitment to respond to ALL criticism, regardless of reality, let me break it down for you. Companies often don't disclose bugs, code, system design etc to a random customer such as myself. It...

    Major Safety Issue - Hoping a Tesla engineer watching the forums reads this!

    I don't think you read my entire post, obviously. I never said it was a widespread problem, in fact, I said multiple times that I hope it's not. And "run crying to the NHTSA"? WTF is wrong with you? I care enough about your family to do what's right and report it. Are you saying that if you...

    Hi Saghost, Yes, both resets were performed while I was on the phone with technical support. Neither worked to resolve the issue - the lights remained off under "Auto" mode, and only returned to operational after sitting overnight. And thank you Bonnie / Zero CO2. Your support is heartwarming...

    Major Safety Issue - Hoping a Tesla engineer watching the forums reads this!

    Is there a difference between a fluke technical fault and a widespread issue when it involves your family, in your car, at highway speeds? This isn't a trivial feature failing. For someone who just took delivery of their MS on 4/7/17, I would hope that you're not being sarcastic.

    Major Safety Issue - Hoping a Tesla engineer watching the forums reads this!

    Everything is on the table - but thinking this one through, it's happened three times, in vastly different locations. So if this were the case, the chances of this happening are statistically unlikely. Additionally, once the headlights [improperly] turn off, they don't work for the remainder of...

    This is correct. We don't currently have rain-sensing wipers. The windshield wipers DO adjust the timer based on speed. So the faster you are traveling, the quicker the time between activating. With that said, even at full stop, every twist of the stalk should activate the wipers.

    Luckily it's very rare. 3 times in 6 months...and as an obsessed Tesla owner, I drive a lot.

    Without a doubt. And they've been very forthcoming with the things they are thinking through - we ran through a couple of the theories tonight, and I think we debunked a couple based on the data and some logic. The great thing in all of this is that most major companies would likely clam up...

    Almost as slow as my reaction time to turn on the headlights. /s Seriously though, if anyone makes it through Atlanta, there's a great brewery called Monday Night Brewery. But it caused about a 10 second reaction time to fumble through the menus... if anyone was counting. EDIT: Also, great...

    THIS. I have never thought that Tesla is doing anything nefarious. It's such a complicated piece of machinery that involves a lot of technology. There are certainly things that I think they should be prioritized over adding easter eggs (can you fix my XM Radio already?!), but I think they can...

    Thanks, they can track me to my VIN and contact me any time. I've made myself available to the SC for any questions or follow-up. I'm actually aware of the owners forum, but they don't show up for me. I guess it's a common problem that I've seen discussed before. You have to msg tesla to have...

    I know you're not actively engaging with me right now, but I respect your opinion enough to respond. I've lit up the SC, tech support, tweeted elon directly, sent email to elon's office email account, etc. I've been assertive, angry, vocal. Trust that I'm not just jumping to public outcry. As...

    I totally agree. the NHTSA certainly won't fix it... but they have oversight to ensure a proper resolution. We should all want that. On the good side - the reason why it took me so long to respond to everyone is that I went by the SC to check in and see how it was going. The tech has been on it...

    Major Safety Issue - Hoping a Tesla engineer watching the forums reads this!

    Yes, I not only did a "Note" in the car for each incident per the SC request, but also took the time to call in to Tesla tech support to speak with someone and notate each incident. As I've come to learn, they also forward this information to the SC, but say that it helps because they do very...

    Major Safety Issue - Hoping a Tesla engineer watching the forums reads this!

    Yes, the car is at the SC. And again, hopefully I'm the only one that this is happening to, but based on the common, unfixed, 'Drivers-Side Mirror' defect that has been present for the past 6 months, I wouldn't be so sure.

    Major Safety Issue - Hoping a Tesla engineer watching the forums reads this!

    Last night, while driving down the highway in pitch black lighting, my headlights suddenly shut off! This has happened before, but not during a pitch-black scenario, and I was assured that this was a firmware bug, that it was identified, and was fixed. Obviously that's not the case. I had to...

    17.24.28 released

    I'm on a loaner 90D with 17.22.46. It seemed very jumpy on stop and go traffic. Short drive down I85 took the bend well, smooth, didn't jerk. The I85/I20 interchange still needed a takeover. It's a really wide lane, if you can envision it, most cars hug the inside line as it curves to the left...
