    Fake (old) news? Tesla Set to Unveil Front Bumper Camera and Ambient Lights for Model S/X

    I have a Mar 18 2024 build, and no front camera / ambient lights. I had delayed the order when I heard the rumor early in March, but finally gave in because I didn't want to lose my FSD / UFSC transfers. And now, it appears Tesla has not yet begun installing either feature on the S or X as of...

    Expired Tesla FSD Package - Transfer to NEW Tesla delivered by 3/31/24 [Deleted]

    They absolutely do in CA...just went through the process today. The car having the feature removed had to be registered in the name used on the registration of the newly purchased vehicle. Maybe it's different in WI due to local regulations.

    Expired Tesla FSD Package - Transfer to NEW Tesla delivered by 3/31/24 [Deleted]

    Unless both vehicles are registered to the purchaser / owner of the original vehicle, Tesla will not transfer FSD (or UFSC). The details of this offer are spelled out in great detail in the transfer agreement if you want to see all the conditions for yourself.

    FSD V12 Elon Demo

    I guess I'm finally emotionally burned out after 7 years of FSD hype, using HW1, HW2, and HW3.....I appreciate the monumental task Tesla has taken on trying to make FSD a reality, given some of the ridiculous personal limitations Elon has placed on the sensor suite it can use, and his endless...

    Can this nail puncture be repaired?

    As an professional automotive customizer / off-road vehicle upfitter for over 4 decades, I would say you are incorrect on your assessment on many accounts. The puncture is almost directly at the flex point of the tread (most certainly less than one inch from the effective sidewallt), and is not...

    Opinion: Tesla should partner with another OEM for NACS or be forced into CCS someday.

    For tall drivers, the yoke is (unfortunately) the best option.

    The only thing keeping me from upgrading to a newer Tesla is that we can't transfer FSD, anyone else?

    It is absolutely NOT the same thing. (And I get that intellectual property, i.e. software, can be considered the same as a tangible product in certain instances) 1) The sound system, sunroof, wheels, or any physical options you purchase as an upgrade are 100% functional from the day you receive...

    FSD/AP display on center screen?

    The software version is 2022.36.20, which is the root for FSD Beta 10.69.3.1 - so you have the latest FSD Beta release as of right now

    FSD/AP display on center screen?

    Model 3 / Y vehicles only have a center display, so there is no other option where to put the FSD animation

    FSD/AP display on center screen?

    I think he is asking can the FSD display be put onto the larger 17" center display of the Model S, instead of just the front instrument cluster display. I've been requesting this since FSD started, as the display on my wife's Model 3 provides much more information in an easier to see size - but...

    Please Relocate Turn Signal icon to make more visible

    The audible noise for the turns signals is not very distinct, and difficult to hear over the sound system. The purpose of having a visual indicator directly in front of the driver is to make him aware, and my opinion is that is not currently very effective. In fact, the flashing white arrow...

    FSD completely [almost] stops the car on a road

    I've had my car slow down dramatically while in AP or FSD on the freeways multiple times since getting FSD Beta (I'm on 2022.20.19 - 10.69.2.4). I usually get a message saying "Poor camera visibility - reducing Autopilot speed", and then the car proceeds to slow down to almost a stop (I've never...

    Please Relocate Turn Signal icon to make more visible

    I have a 2017 Model S with FSD. The FSD visualization makes it very difficult to discern the turn signal icon, which appears as a green dot among all the other multi-colored icons in the display. The inner flashing arrow almost disappears on the already very busy. It would be great, IMO, if...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    I replaced the original "B" headlights in my 2017 S90D with the "G" revision, with no problems whatsoever. The Matrix headlights should use a different part number altogether, not just a revision of the original LED headlight part number used since 2016.5.

    Supercharger - Burbank, CA - N. San Fernando Blvd. (LIVE 14 Oct 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    My experience is newly opened chargers don't operate at full output capacity for a couple of weeks, which may explain the 60-70kw charge rate maximum you had.

    Tesla Is Finally Updating Its Autopark Feature by The End of This Month

    Looks like FSD Beta 10.69.3 is being released (2022.20.18), at the same time 2022.36.1 is going out...but those of us in the FSD pool still aren't getting any of the the updated features released since 2022.20.15 first went out....why does the FSD Beta software release fall so far behind the...

    Tesla Is Finally Updating Its Autopark Feature by The End of This Month

    Well, end of Sept has come and gone, and no updated, improved Summon. Not that I expected it, but it would certainly be nice if Musk would consider implementing more realistic timelines, or at least not continue to validate his reputation for inaccuracy so often. I understand the software...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    The original individual LED DRLs may last longer, but they are a dated look, IMO. The refresh DRLs look much higher-tech and use newer design...too bad Tesla didn't make sure the quality was where it should be on a 100k car....

    Yeah, that's the problem with OCD...I see them when I'm parked, or in the reflection of the car in front of me....but, honestly, just knowing is enough, lol. Every time I see an S with the same issue coming towards me on the road, I feel frustrated at the lack of support and deliberate avoidance...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    That's the problem - the DRLs start to malfunction, and this gets worse over time. I wouldn't care if it was symmetrical, but one of my DRLs was 3/4 lit, and the other 1/2 lit - my OCD was killing me lol...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    No one said Tesla is selling small batches to EBay sellers....Tesla transitioned to a new production unit, and the supplier had overstock of the old units. This seller is a larger company that deals in surplus auto parts, bought something like 400+ sets. Regardless of the accuracy of that story...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    I also got a pair of new lights from that EBay seller. I noticed no revision sticker on the lights, and emailed them. They told me they were revision "G", as they purchased a large number of pairs from the last production run directly from Tesla, as there was an overstock of them once the Matrix...

    Karpathy leaves - what's next for AP/FSD?

    Maybe Karpathy felt his contribution to the job was done. Most brilliant folks I watch have a narrow focus of interest. Setting up a functional FSD architecture may have been his. Having lead the development of the 2.0 software rewrite, it may be that most of the work from here forward will now...

    "Take control immediately" (not using any Autopilot features)

    Tesla needs to have these critical warning messages stay on the screen long enough to read them. I've had several similar instances, and it is soooo frustrating not to be able to actually see what the warning was. I understand that it is likely alerting to an automated system response, and that...

    No summon connectivity since FSD Beta 2022.12.3.20

    Has anyone else had an issue with summon being unable to connect to the vehicle after installing FSD Beta 2022.12.3.20 ? I use summon all the time to help park my 2017 Model S, as well as my 2019 Model 3, so both will fit in my garage. There have been no connectivity issues on the Model 3 - same...

    Superchargers in Southern California (location speculation)

    Supercharging is very important to me in So Cal. We drive a lot here, and I do have a level 2 at my home. That said, I also have free supercharging on my S, and a supercharger 3 miles from my house, and one block from my business - so my fuel expenses on my S are close to zero dollars, no small...

    AP2 SIDE REPEATER CAMERAS, MODEL S

    I have no idea if the turn signal connector on the AP1 vehicles is the same as the turn signal / camera connector on the AP2 vehicles - but I would assume they are different, as it needs to transmit camera data in addition to powering the turn signal, which requires additional circuits...

    AP2 SIDE REPEATER CAMERAS, MODEL S

    The Model Y cameras are plug and play on my 2017 Model S with AP2 / MCU2 upgrade / HW3 upgrade. AP1 vehicles do not have repeater cameras - they use the Mobileye processor with front camera only, so you cannot add repeater or B-pillar cameras to that system.

    Tall Model S owners - 6'5" (195cm)

    I don't think Tesla offered multiple seat options in the Model S after 2018 Raven was introduced. Previously, you could choose either the standard seat (awful IMO) or the premium seat (more comfortable IMO). The standard seat offered in the earlier models was much thinner, very little...

    Rear Seat Liner Recommendations for the Y

    My son and sister both have 5-seat Model Ys, and dogs that shed a lot. They are looking for recommendations for rear floor liners that also cover the back of the rear seats when folded down, to reduce pet clean up. The all-weather style mats are sectional and have gaps, so they aren't effective...

    Tall Model S owners - 6'5" (195cm)

    I'm 6'7", and I've been driving Model S models since 2015. As roomy as any car I've driven before, but you definitely want the upgraded seats if you are looking at an older model (no choices in anything later than 2018). I keep the seat all the way back, with the rear all the way down, and I'm...

    Color navigation map?

    I prefer to think like a consumer: You are shown, and subsequently pay for, hi-contrast color maps with excellent detail and visibility. You are later upgraded to low contrast gray-scale maps without any consent, input, or reasoning. Then, you are left with the option the pay again to get the...

    Color navigation map?

    I use the satellite view, but it's still 2-D imaging; I'm an avid off-roader, and all of the software / GPS systems we use run 3-D imaging, and it's much easier to understand where you are in relation to your surroundings, especially if you don't want to have to focus on the maps and distract...

    Color navigation map?

    The grayscale map is very old technology. I am constantly amazed by the lack of sophistication for some of the user features on a car that portends to be so technologically advanced. Many vehicles use 3-D hi-res color maps which make it much easier to understand your location and movement...

    I'm just frustrated that after working so had to try and maintain a 98+ safety score, I still won't get FSD until the cameras in my 17 S are replaced. Since there doesn't seem to be any way to request this upgrade directly, looks like I'll be without FSD beta even longer than advertised....

It also has the busiest screen / button setup...
