    Autonomous Car Progress

    The filtering is exactly why most automotive radar is completely blind to stationary objects. The ones with zero phantom braking is basically doing that.

    Angela Chao accident

    When top gear tried it, the window switches already failed even when partially submerged. Probably the water shorted them out, making them useless. The best policy is to immediately try to open the doors with the manual handle while the water level is still relatively low.

    FSD V12 (end to end AI)

    The pure E2E examples I see start with something very simple. like keeping in the lane, then figuring when to turn left or right (and how to get through the curve to do so), not having to deal with more parameters. Then slowly build from there. But if that earlier article is to be believed...

    Measuring the panel gaps upon delivery

    Neither flushness, evenness, nor symmetry (differences between left and right) are "spec" problems. Most specs are not tasked with making sure OCD is addressed, just that all the panels (especially the moving ones) do not rub against each other even with thermal expansion and vibrations. From...

    Stalk or no stalk argument [not] settled

    My point is that it's not the same thing as the emergency parking brake, which you can actuate while the car is still moving in drive in case of hydraulic brake failure. The official "parking brake" instead actuates the caliper a second time after the car is already in "P". As for the last...

    All the articles reference the WSJ report, which says it was a 2020 Model X (which has a physical stalk). The article never mentions it was touchscreen shifter. The only ones claiming that are other journalists adding their own speculation. I said very early on in the other thread that it must...

    Window tint headache on new 24 M3, Any advice?

    It hurts the merchant in a big way, so they may negotiate. On the other hand, they may also give a runaround in hopes the timing expires. Be prepared they may refuse to do business in the future.

    So much for Tesla's no resale clause - 11 Cybertrucks currently on Ebay

    Where did I say that they would pay $200k? I'm just saying they may buy one if they are interested, and it's unrealistic to expect Elon to give them one for free. I'm not talking about 4 wheel steering, I'm talking about full steer by wire with no mechanical backup. The Cybertruck is the first...

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    The dry wipes I noticed is when crossing under a bridge where there are particular light patterns (sunlight flickering in and out through the bridge supports), so I doubt it has to do with clouds.

    To be fair, it's 5 mostly straight lanes of one way separated traffic and on the Oakland side there are even shoulders and the lanes are much wider. Way different from other 55 mph roads where there is only one or two lanes one way, with undivided opposing traffic, little to no shoulder, and...

    Why would Musk just give them one and why would Farley even request that? If you look at the Farley interview about the charging adapter, even though they are providing it for free to customers, it's certainly not free for Ford to buy it from Tesla. You can buy a lot of adapters for the price of...

    Bent rim after curbing it?

    Below 5mph doesn't say much. There's a big difference between barely scraping the curb at 0-1mph, versus smacking straight into it at 5mph. That said, bent rims isn't uncommon for the performance rims, due to little sidewall, but mostly from potholes. Are you sure you never hit potholes?

    Angela Chao accident

    As you point out yourself, in the later updates, the car can still operate with a dead 12V battery by keeping the car awake, a mechanism to prevent the owner from being stranded. As such I would presume disconnecting the 12V battery with the car awake will not throw open the contactor, given...

    New 240v outlet pulling 0 amps

    It has to be asked again, but did they give you a new 14-50 adapter also? In the other case, that was the issue. Everything else was just going in circles, since neither the UMC nor the car was the issue.

    Deleting specific videos means filtering through them, which may take time. Even if Tesla doesn't do it, the person's lawyer probably would advise to do it. They can rebuild their profile later if they want, after determining which are clean. Given these people aren't likely depending on their...

    Did they try replacing ONLY the 14-50 adapter? That can isolate the problem instead of guessing which part it is. The other case, that was the problem.

    I think it only applies to EV range calculations (for example there was a similar much older rule that applied to charge modes, which made the Leaf drop their 80% charge mode; Tesla was not affected because the charge limit was not discrete separate modes) Edit: another example is the...

    New AutoPilot is horrible after update

    Weren't you the one who had the false alarm where you thought you got updated when you didn't? As for when you first got the car, I wouldn't put it beyond it being a delivery update, for example a delivery center installing it or scheduling an install at delivery and release notes showing up...

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    It's more about parking lot door dings and swipes. I have plenty on my Model 3 because I street park on a hill with 90 degree parking. Not worth it to fix or claim insurance, but a pain to look at. From what I see, most of those would not affect the Cybertruck.

    The mistake that is made is with the stalk you tend to not confirm on the screen what gear you are in so when you are doing back and forth gear switches (like for this three point turn), you may have flicked it in such a way it didn't register the change yet.

    That report is based on the WSJ story such says she had a 2020. I don't see anywhere in the report that says it's a 2021+ Model X. Note the older Model X used laminated glass everywhere but the side windows, so it's possible the responders were smashing other windows. Also, have to allow for the...

    That article supports the modular theory, that they basically only changed the planning part to full NNs, with the "end-to-end" part being the perception engine being aware of the planning results (instead of previously being 100% independent). This is as opposed to fully new single network...

    Note those don't work if the glass is laminated, as it is in the 2021+ Model X. So always check your glass before assuming it will work (there is usually a marking that notes it as laminated, or for side windows you can check that by seeing if the glass is two layers).

    That design is ok for the rear doors because most modern cars also have rear child locks which can completely prevent the rear doors from being able to open. The design is that way likely for the same reason (so children can't easily find and reach them to pull on them). I take it the...

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    My understanding is that the lithium LV battery is expected to last past the main battery warranty, so it shouldn't need proactive replacement, unlike the lead acid, which is a consumable.

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    Yes it does, but I guess the thought on waiting the extra time is to ensure everything is shut down other than the vampire loads that the 12V battery powers. The manual however is only concerned about high power HV loads like the AC, not concerned if there is potentially a dirty shutdown of the...

    "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    30 seconds is only the climate shutdown time. The contactor time as pointed out probably is longer. That said, as you point out, the service manual doesn't require waiting for contactor to disconnect.

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    A lot of the same points apply. To get Tesla certified is an additional investment on top, and few shops will want to do that unless there are enough Tesla customers around needing service. And for the few shops that do, they will tend to charge a premium to get a return on their investment. I...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    I'm not sure there is as much profit in it as you think. The most salvageable modular packs are in the S/X, but those make up a small minority of the overall Tesla population. The 3/Y pack is far less modular and the price for a refurb from Tesla is only $12k-$16k, so people would balk at going...

Same with other manufacturers (why not just do it as a model year thing)? The logistical issue is the update...

    Power trunk retrofit causing car awake

    This trunk retrofit has been done for years already in China so if there is a persistent power issue that is inherent in the hardware, I imagine there would have been plenty of complaints already. So I would expect this is either a software issue or something specific to your car(s).

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    Yeah heavy EV trucks are not well suited to stuff like that, given the heavy weight. That said, I think part of the problem is the off-road software isn't out yet. So the truck may ironically be less capable than even something like the Y (other than ground clearance).
