    General Diagnosis $480 - Body Control Module

    Took 2017 MS in for service for Left Headlight staying on. I was told I needed to replace the Body Control Module (BCM). The part cost for BCM is $1075 and the labor is $228. Not sure if that is high or not but I am also being charged $480 for General Diagnosis. Is this normal? I assume...

    Is it mandatory for you to put that ugly sticker to your tesla to use the carpool lane?

    I very seldom drive alone since I do not commute so I just TAPE to my back window when on a trip alone. I can still get a ticket but maybe better then in the glove box.

    Supercharger - Needles, CA - W. Broadway St. (LIVE 9 Dec 2022, 12 stalls)

    Very interested in this. Planning to travel to Laughlin, NV and Lake Havasu, CA and this is the only nearby Supercharger. It would be nice if they put in more "locations" near by. I think Needles is about 30 miles from each location and I about 150 miles from Barstow. My 2017 MS is now about...

    Poll : Which is better - FSD Beta 10.9 vs 10.8

    I voted sightly better. I wish it was more. The issue of lane changes for absolutely no reason still happens. Even on "Chill". Really wish they would at least indicate why they are doing it. Like with NOA on freeways where it says "Changing lanes to follow GPS" or "Changing lanes for slow...

    10.8 still made the changing lanes for no reason. I.E. Need to turn right in 2 blocks. For no reason it decided to move to the left lane and then at the right turn it can no longer get back to the right lane because a car is not blocking. This move to the left lane happens when there is no...

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    I mostly agree with you #1 because sometimes when in the mood to test FSD NOA (freeway) I turn on auto because I may be to slow to respond. So, I was really hoping that Chill, Average, Assertive would take care of it but it did not. There is no difference. I would think Chill would not want...

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    Agreed, and this is why I suggested a fairly simply option to require the driver to authorized lane changes for reasons other then lane changes for NAV. I have seen a lot of complaints on here and on video of lane changes for no good reason. They already do it for FSD NOA on Freeways. Seems...

    Well it has be > 1 year of 2000 FSD Beta testers before we were even invited and they have not solved it yet. I have right and left turns that fail a lot and have reported them multiple times. It must be hard because these are kind of important. Two right turns I use all the time. They have...

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    Agreed that your concern is by far the most important but could be much hard to solve (maybe mid next year). Having a option to approve lane changes like with FSD Freeway NOA could be much easier and help train the car for when and when not to change lanes for no reason. And of course changing...

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    All looks good. However, one of my biggest complaints at this point is completely unnecessary lane changes. They need option like NOA to approve lane changes not related to NAV.

    Where does it show the 98% complete? After watching the video decided to give it a try. The video said 9-10 miles. I drove 17 miles with the blue circle going around the auto steer (I believe). Then decided to hit the freeway and after 21 miles the blue circle finished and I could then use...

    What Do I Lose w/FSD??

    Thanks. For some reason it does not work for me. I was on the freeway with NOA and it prompts me to allow lane change because of my setting. But with FSD Beta (even without NAV Set) it will change lanes to go around slow cars without asking me to allow. I would love it if it worked the same...

    There really is no way to know when your update will come. "3 to 4 weeks" is probably just a average and something not to hang your hat on. On both my cars (below) came with a software update the same day I picked them up. I would say best is to set your option to ADVANCE in the cars settings...

    It is generally helpful if you report which software version you are on. If you purchase FSD then you should be on the FSD Production Version where you can set your FSD Options under AutoPilot. The FSD Beta is much different and mainly for surface streets. If my memory is correct the option...

    I saw that as well and plan to try it. But wondering if the camera recalibration is somehow affected by software version? I am going on a trip Monday (170 miles). Just deciding if I should wait for 10.5 this early Saturday Morning? Unless it does not show up till Monday like some in the past.

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    This is my biggest complaint and seems pretty easy to change. I see 2 reasons to change lanes. 1 is because you are coming up on a turn and need to change lanes to follow GPS. 2 is because you are behind slow traffic. I believe they need a option for #2 for the driver to ALLOW it to happen...

    Or New 99's and 100's. My wife's car went from 97 to 99 last Sunday and got FSD Beta on Wednesday (the day they started to roll on to new cars).

    I will have to disagree with you on a few of your points. 1) "Phony?" - i have watched a lot of Youtube videos and not one says "hands-free". They do say no disengagements in some of them but most videos show it failing and pretty accurate. I have lots of issues but I have had maybe a couple...

    Are you on FSD Beta? It is my understanding that the AutoPilot settings do not affect FSD Beta. I.E. Only when on the freeway using NOA does that setting table place.

    I agree. What if you were in the second lane and not in the first (wide lane) then I would assume it would not change lanes into the right lane if there was a car coming up that lane so I assume it would know the car is there.

    I just googled standard lane width and it said 12 feet. I have a 2017 MS and have talked at various times about wide lanes (i.e. > 12 feet). I am talking primarily about surface streets. It happens pretty much all the time where it will center a lane that is maybe 20-24 feet wide. My...

    They still have not started to roll out 10.4 to NEW Cars with 98+ as Elon said would probably happen. My guess is there will be a flood of posts when it happens.

    This is one of my biggest complaints. But I think I would adjust your recommendation. Like, it is ok to auto lane change to FOLLOW NAV but not for other reasons which are mostly for no reason. I think it puts up a message when doing a lane change for NAV. Other times maybe to because wants...

    The comment about recognizing GATES in 10.4 is important to me. I live in a community with a gate about 100 yards from the street. It turns right into my community and really speeds up heading for the GATE. Of course I take over but would be "cool" for it to stop and go thru the GATE to my house.
