    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX

    I got all excited when I received an alert for this thread. Hopefully soon.

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    Same thing here. She reminded me that I said during one of my daily Tesla briefings to her that I would never upgrade the battery until it was $500. Now I want a 75 badge. 2k just seems like it is still too much for something that I will still never hit. I have never been below 100 miles. Ugh...

    Has Tesla solved the satellite radio with NO glass roof issue yet?

    It is on the rear liftgate for both S and X models. I believe it is close to the brake bar indicator, but I can't tell visually.

    Has Tesla solved the satellite radio with NO glass roof issue yet?

    I have premium audio and a solid roof. Serius-XM is not available.

    Unintended consequences of naming my car

    I named mine " ;UPDATE features SET fsd = true; " Now my car has level 5 automation and it's flawless.

    Navigation offered to navigate me home?

    It has become self aware. Take it to a SC and have its memory wiped.

    Model S 60 and 60D to be removed

    Oh no. I meant that after I upgraded features and bought things like AP and FSD my 66k car became an 85k car. Meaning they are quoting the car costing 66k, but I don't know anyone who didn't pimp it up with expensive upgrades. If I get anything out of it when I decide to sell I will be shocked...

    Model S 60 and 60D to be removed

    I am not sure I totally buy the "most customers ultimately end up upgrading to 75 kWh" quote from the Electrek article. It seems much more likely that they were filling packs with expensive batteries and hardly anyone upgraded when they introduced a lower upgrade price. I haven't come close to...

    Rip off of Tesla touch screen -- it was bound to happen

    Tesla Test Drives: AP2 or AP1 Cars?

    Back when I test drove in mid October 2016 I drove an AP1 car. When I purchased it was upgraded to an AP2. Not complaining about that, but I see a lot of new owners asking why AP2 isn't up to par with AP1. If someone goes in for a test drive today, are they driving AP1 or AP2 cars? I would think...

    Autosteer on local Roads Videos (17.7.2)

    Had the same intersection issues that you did. It doesn't seem to be able to see lane markings a few car lengths in front of it and instead of continuing in a straight line it likes to go right. It seems to drive like an intoxicated driver for now. Hopefully this gets improved soon.

    TACC and AutoSteer Slamming on the Brakes

    I went from 65 to 45 in what felt like less than a second. Hitting the accelerator gave me back total control of the car. Coming home today in the same lane at the same speed it didn't happen. Only difference I noticed was it was overcast and there weren't giant contrasting shadows on the...

    TACC and AutoSteer Slamming on the Brakes

    I am going to record my commute tomorrow. I know there is a way to use the voice control to report bugs to Tesla, but at the time I was worried about causing an accident or looking like an A-hole slamming on my brakes for no reason.

    TACC and AutoSteer Slamming on the Brakes

    Okay good to know about the shoulder slowing down issue not being a problem anymore. The pucker factor is high going under these highway signs now. The car seems to react to about 20% of them. Never thought I would be hovering over the accelerator instead of the brake.

    TACC and AutoSteer Slamming on the Brakes

    I remember reading in the past that people had issues with the car slowing down significantly when there was a car on the shoulder and some even reported the car getting confused with overhead structures and overhead road signs and slowing. A few times today on the way home using TACC and...

    FSD Features to be Available in 3 to 6 months

    Also a lot of the initial work may have been hardware and software integration, ramping up everyone on Tesla Vision, and getting a team hired. Now that all of the groundwork has been laid, it isn't unreasonable that we will see an acceleration of features being delivered. At least this is my...

    Things 17.3.2 fixed in my S

    Elon specifically mentioned that 8.1 would have the new kernel. I would imagine the 8.1 software with the new kernel is in its own branch with patching done on both and different testing and maybe even different testing vehicles.

    SiriusXM Radio has taken a big step backwards with 8.1

    No. Maybe the end of the month. I wouldn't expect it for a while though.

    Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

    Sending out a test build of the software to 1000 people is one thing. Sending out the same crippled test to the rest of the fleet doesn't seem like it would give investors and customers confidence in Tesla. Sure many people might be willing to test out beta releases, but I imagine a majority of...

    S60 -> S75 upgrade price reduction

    Think about it as an alternative to advertising. If they boosted everyone up to the full battery capacity for free they would get headlines for being able to magically create 15kWh of battery capacity with a code change. Sure we would all know it was just enabling a software based option for...

    S60 -> S75 upgrade price reduction

    It would be nice for the people that paid for the FSD option that probably won't be enabled for over a year to get a, "Thanks for having faith in us" present of an unlocked battery. Although I haven't been close to running low, seeing the battery charged over 200 miles would be nice.

    Give me a break from the fwy brake

    I haven't been following the auto slowdown issues because I haven't had my EAP enabled yet, but are they in response because of slow down laws? Move Over Law - AAA Digest of Motor Laws

    Speculation on Model Y Features

    So the speculation is that the Model Y is based off the Model 3? A 3 with falcon wing doors doesn't sound compelling enough to differentiate it from the 3. Even with a hatchback configuration. But then again if the sweet spot for mass adoption is the Model 3 then multiple configurations might be...

    isn't it ironic...

    I assume you were parked "normally" and this was 100% the truck drivers fault. Too bad they couldn't just let you pick a car off the transport ;)

    isn't it ironic...

    That sound will be in my nightmares. I really want a dash cam like yours, but am hoping they will enable some kind of DVR functionality for the front and rear cameras.

    Autopilot functionality for HW2 towards the end of next week

    I have been wondering this also. I have seen many people on multiple sites talking about not being able to recognize the income on features that haven't been enabled, but who would be the person that verifies that they have enabled enough to claim that money? I assume they can spend the money...

    Enhanced Autopilot 2 may never happen before Full Self Driving is ready!

    Does Tesla state anywhere that changing lanes is dependent on GPS? I change lanes all the time with my eyeballs and mirrors. I am confident that a car with four or eight active cameras, radar, sonar, and an advanced dedicated computer can perform something that a sixteen year old learning to...

    New Model S with AP2

    In my mind I feel like they should be able to enable most of self driving without having the nobody in the car stuff activated. Is there a requirement for the government to give them the go ahead if there is a licensed driver always able to take over? Door to door auto driving without hands on...
