Ever since doing my HW3/MCU2 upgrade, I've managed to get TeslaCam now for dashcam and sentry functionality, but now my USB music (using a separate USB stick) does not resume if I've left the car for more than about an hour or so at home. I think I've put it down to the fact that the upgraded...

Something I've been trying to get my head around is the effect of relatively hard acceleration on efficiency on our vehicles. In an ICE vehicle the efficiency takes a nosedive with hard acceleration for many reasons, but with our electric motors at 93%/97% efficiency (depending on model) and...

I had a false Automatic Emergency Braking event today - the full thing, not just phantom braking on AP. I was travelling at about 50km/h on a side street with a divider with lots of parked vehicles, some traffic cones for footpath works, and many confusing moving shadows from trees and the high...

I know this is completely pointless, but I just want to vent somewhere about how far behind we are in autopilot features in Australia. It's killing me to see new features being rolled out for V10, yet we still don't have Navigate on Autopilot that was rolled out in V9. If V9 was anything to go...

With the recent price drops in vehicles, and the cheaper AP and FSD features to existing owners, there is little solace to those of us fools who were crazily optimistic and have already prepurchased FSD. However I noted the following passage on the upgrade page here: Upgrading to Autopilot and...

Here is a damning article describing Uber's decision to aim for a "smooth ride" by making it stop its equivalent of phantom braking that we all hate. Inside Uber before its self-driving car killed a pedestrian: Sources describe infighting, 'perverse' incentives, and questionable decisions It's...

My vehicle has HW2 (July 2017 build) which means it doesn't have the necessary hardware support for the dashcam functionality. I'm on V9 (currently 2018.44) and just for grins I grabbed my music usb stick and put a TeslaCam folder in it, in case it actually does have cam support and put it back...

We've seen in the past that Tesla staff do peruse these forums and occasionally there is change instituted by the company in response to information posted here. We've also seen that in the trillions of tweets/tweetbacks directed at Elon Musk that once in the proverbial blue moon, he'll say...

Elon Musk explains the delay for Tesla's autonomous coast-to-coast trip It terrifies me that Elon Musk's prediction once again gives us 3 months likely, 6 months definitely. They're the same set of dates that mean "it could be years away" now after the last time he predicted that for FSD...
