    98 Score - Got FSD Beta?

    Sustained 98, no fsd beta received yet. Waiting.......... This sucks

    Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control (BETA) for those that have HW3 and FSD

    I've been using this feature since it was release. Found a variety off issues and released these videos about using it. Initially it was allowing me to proceed through red lights (over time it stopped doing this); it picks up crosswalks with blinking lights very late and can suddenly stop...

    2020.12.6

    Looks like you can proceed at stop signs and some traffic lights before you stop, looks like 1 to 5 mph.

    Future of FSD after "traffic light & stop sign response" release

    I wish I knew this.... I made a video of my experience getting HW3, got it 2 years into owning my M3.

    Future of FSD after "traffic light & stop sign response" release

    Curious if you have to reset all your settings. I did and I'm still finding things I needed to reset.

    How to Power/Charge Your Laptop in a Tesla using USB-C Power

    1 & 2) Nothing happened; 3) screen went black like something was wrong. Can't remember, but I don't think I got an error. Not sure if it would have worked with a larger Inverter, but I think I read somewhere Inverters aren't advised to be used in our Teslas.

    How to Power/Charge Your Laptop in a Tesla using USB-C Power

    I've wanted to power and charge my Thinkpad T480 laptop in my Tesla Model 3 using the enormous power of the Tesla batteries. I tried using a USB to USB-C cable from all the different USB connectors in the Tesla - NO LUCK; I tried charging a external battery pack and powering my laptop from it -...

    New feature: Autosteer Stop Light Warning

    Severe problem with Auto Lane Changes

    Now this is weird, I just tried it again on the same highway as this morning (going in the opposite direction) and had the severe problem over and over again. So I don't think the console restart has anything to do with it.

    Severe problem with Auto Lane Changes

    So this happened right after I did my software update to 2019.8.2 three days ago. Yesterday I did a console restart (pressing both steering wheel buttons, no brake pedal) and over the last two days since my video, Auto Lane Change has worked flawlessly. Only thing is I was on different highways...

    Severe problem with Auto Lane Changes

    Just received 2019.8.2 and have noticed a severe problem with Auto Lane Change, multiple times when I clicked my blinker to change lanes it went back and forth attempting to perform the lane change without any cars behind me. I used to see this in a previous release only once and a while and it...

    My Tesla Model 3 Recognized Road Cones and Steered to Avoid Them

    I wonder if that will ever be possible, but I guess if we can see them (most of the time) the vision system should be able to.

    My Tesla Model 3 Recognized Road Cones and Steered to Avoid Them

    I was driving down a local road in AP and came across a set of road cones. I expected my Tesla to drive right threw them but it actually steers to avoid them. Captured it and made a video

    Detailed Review of Software Update 2018.48.12.1

    Model 3 doesn't have heated steering wheel yet, but Model S/X will support remote enabling of the heated steering wheel once version 3.8 of the Tesla App comes out. No idea why they release 2018.48.12.1 before 3.8 of the app was ready...

    Detailed Review of Software Update 2018.48.12.1

    I answer a lot of those questions on my YouTube channel Nick's Testa Like and post a few videos a week. Did a whole video on the MCU - and it is much faster compared to my HW1 Model S. I've done a bunch of videos on V9 and it has definitely improved autopilot, especially with understanding the...

    Detailed Review of Software Update 2018.48.12.1

    I received 2018.48.12.1 software update. Here's my video review - It includes a new "Keep Climate On" (Camp) mode that allows you to fix the temperature for long period of time and then it will only turn off when your battery has 20% of power left. Before this if you closed your doors and put...

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    Are you sure its distance and not speed? I tested 40/45, 65, 70, 75, and 80 mph without recording if there were cars in front of me. Perhaps a combination of both.

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    Hey, I uncovered that the Nag Warning time is directly related to your speed. It appears to be: 40-45 sec at 40-50 mph, 30-35 sec at 65 mph; 25-27 sec at 70 mph; 23-25 sec at 75 mph; 18-20 sec at 80 mph. I'm pretty sure my Model 3 was 60 sec for all speeds before. My Model S HW1 was 3 mins for...

    Braking distance concern by Consumer Reports

    It appears the Model 3's ABS braking would work as designed the first time an emergency braking scenario occurred, but then that event caused it to behave differently in subsequent emergency braking scenarios. Something to do with the ABS calibration algorithm. Its sort of surprising that Tesla...

    I found it a little tricky to get these icons to appear if your easy entry setting isn't' much different than your normal setting, plus the icons only appear during the transition from Easy Entry to your normal setting and not when you just click the Easy Entry/profile icon. I made a video to...

    Blog Tesla Releases Data on Utah Autopilot Crash

    My understanding is that automatic emergency braking (AEB) can only reduce your speed by 25 mph when faced with a stopped object. So if a car your following pulls away right in front of a stopped object and you're doing 25 mph it can stop you, however when your doing 60 mph then your going to...

    Phone Key Auto Unlock Issues?

    I think I might have figured out the issue with unlocking the car via the Charging Cable. If you are away from your car with the charger plugged in for a while (over 5 minutes) and the car is fully charged (not sure this matters) then when you walk up to your car I have been unable to unlock the...

    Following distance

    It is safe and only have noticed a problem if the merge is really slow in stop and go traffic. It doesn't respond as fast as I would normally, but it slows down in plenty of time.
