Got it installed. Spent about an hour with my son testing it around about a 5 mile radius near my house. In a word... mindblowing. I'm not sure if it's all due to the firmware version or if there is some additional advantage with using HW4, but this seems like a monumental leap forward...

Installing now as well 🥳

Glad I found this thread because I'm in the same boat. Bought a 2024 Model 3 on March 27, took advantage of the FSD transfer from my 2018 Model 3, got the email telling me that it has been transferred from the old VIN to the new VIN, and then I just got the popup for the first few days telling...

Sure, just as long as they are equipped with smoke detectors and emergency stop buttons. 😜

Interesting choice for GM to evangelize their automated vehicle tech in a model that has been pulled from the market because it has a tendency to burn their customers' houses down.

Yup, everyone has their own threshold. I have a teenage driver in my household, and I occasionally gather enough courage to ride with him. Random braking doesn't phase me at all (LOL).

I'm a FSD beta tester, early 100 scorer. I upgraded to FSD from EAP a couple years ago because the incremental cost at the time was only $3K. I'm generally a huge Tesla fan, and I have immensely enjoyed testing FSD on my 2018 Model 3. But... I have to agree that I wouldn't pay $10K for it...

Of course, had Tesla not filed with the NHTSA, I wonder if WaPo would have even noticed. Meanwhile the FSD beta program continues on despite the bad press and speculation on increased scrutiny by the feds. Perhaps it's true that Tesla's scrutiny of FSD beta drivers combined with the more...

My experience with 10.5 has been that it *finally* drives in the correct position on residential streets with no center line. This has solved most of my disengagements, because now I can finally let the car continue driving on residential streets when an oncoming car approaches. But reading...

This story was at the top of the Washington Post business section this morning: (edit: it's now in the Technology section) Tesla’s recent Full Self-Driving update made cars go haywire. It may be the excuse regulators needed. The main subject of the story is the beta 10.3 issue a couple weeks...

Thought I'd chime in because I had my first Tesla roadside assistance experience recently, and it was really good. I have a 2018 LR dual motor Model 3. Still under warranty with about 40,000 miles on it, but I don't think that's relevant; my understanding is that the Tesla roadside assistance...

Check the profile setting in the Autopilot menu. I forget the language they use, but there are three settings with the highest being "aggressive", I think. See what happens if you reduce that setting one level. (I'd look up the menu to give you the exact language, but my car is busy...

This has occurred to me as well. This is a bit cynical, but I have wondered if Tesla saw an oncoming regulatory storm that will shut down their beta test program, and so they accelerated it so they could gather as much data as possible to feed into Dojo before it all gets shut down. This is...

OK, so I just went into my car and checked. After briefly having 10.3 reverted and then apparently re-reverted... now I too have AEB and FCW disabled in my settings. Can't say I'm real happy that was done with no notification. Predicting another update in the next day or two. That said...

Surprisingly, I am too. I could've sworn I saw an update come through that was going to revert me back, but I just went for a drive, and I'm still on the 10.3 beta.

Yep. Installed the 10.3 this morning (2021.36.5.2), was too afraid to drive the car after reading here about all the chaos, but now I see a 2021.36.5.1 coming through. I guess they're reverting everyone back to 10.2.

Yeah, I feel like there should be a more graceful way to deal with steering wheel interventions. I just had a case this afternoon where I just instinctively grabbed the wheel when the car was getting ready to turn into a Walgreen's parking lot because an oncoming car came out of nowhere to...

Contrasting experiences with speed bumps/humps... In one case I saw the car try to drive at full speed (like 30 mph) over very short, high speed bumps on a private drive. This would not have gone well for my suspension. Yesterday I experienced the car slowing down brilliantly for much wider...

I disagree. Having watched the videos on Tesla's FSD computer architecture, their Dojo neural net training "supercomputer", etc., I think their neural network will benefit from having more drivers in more diverse locations. The problem they are trying to solve of using a neural network to...

OK, after three full days and maybe 100 miles on FSD beta I'm starting to get used to how the car behaves. For what it's worth, I have a relatively early 2018 Model 3 dual motor which had the HW3 upgrade done about a year ago, VIN is just over 100K. (My newer 2021 Model Y does not have FSD)...

Q I read your post this morning. Thought nothing of it. Then this EXACT thing happened to me this afternoon. Must be a bug in the 10.2 beta. Haven't figured out a fix yet, and haven't read the rest of the thread to see if you did yet.

Here are my impressions after only 30 minutes: It hugs too close to the center of the roads in my neighborhood with no lane markings, in some cases driving right down the middle I had to goose the accelerator several times to keep the car from outright stopping when it didn't need to...

I actually got the email and the FSD download this morning with a score of 99. I had a 100 going into yesterday, screwed up with braking at a yellow light and had my overall drop to 99. Was kind of bummed but accepting, and then surprised to see that I got the download this morning. Going to...

Interestingly... I had a 100 going into yesterday, braked a little hard at a yellow light yesterday evening and ultimately registered a daily score of 99 for the day which dropped my average to 99 (I must have been right on the edge) - but I still got the update waiting for me when I woke up...

Yesterday I drove to the top of Pikes Peak and down with an out-of-town friend. Scored 100. Best part was when the young woman at the ticket window gave me the obligatory speech about brake usage, which went something like this: "Now, it's extremely important that on your way back down you...

I do not have a caliper, but I used a ruler just to get a ballpark. My lower stoppers as measured from the outside edge are at about 9-10 mm (the body is curved where they protrude) and the upper ones are at 22 mm.

Just saw Elon's tweets that they will begin "on-ramping" owners with the FSD beta on Friday, Oct. 8 (a week from Friday). So that means I have to drive like a grandma for minimum 9 more days?!

Here's the link to the earlier post I made explaining the rear hatch stopper adjustment procedure. Seems like there have been a few recent posts from people experiencing pressure buffeting on their new Model Y's. Try this: Ear pain/Pressure help

I haven't posted to this thread in about 5 or 6 months, but I just wanted to follow up and add that the subsonic boominess while going over road bumps/cracks in my Model Y seems to have decreased substantially over time since the car was new. That's aside from getting the liftgate stops...

Model Y LR, VIN 117xxx, took delivery 2/12. Heated wheel (YES), double pane glass, no console update. I'll probably eventually wrap the console with 3M film just like I did to my Model 3, was like $40, took an hour, and turned out great. I think I used stuff from Abstract Ocean. Although...

Regardless of whatever the marketing material says, I suspect the "hard compound for the center of the tread" is to increase the tire life in lieu of EV torque, not to increase its grip. Perhaps Michelin is doing this because they're getting tired of honoring the treadwear warranty on their...

Seems like many vehicles from different manufacturers have had similar problems over the years. https://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2015/12/there-s-a-big-issue-with-gm-s-suvs-and-no-one-seems-to-have-a-solution.html Car Sickness: Drivers Say Their GM SUV Is Making Them Sick | wfmynews2.com Jeep...

Maybe give them the link to this thread, ask them to read the last couple pages?

I agree with this characterization exactly. The buffeting is subsonic, for sure. More like a pressure wave like you feel (as someone else pointed out however many pages ago in this thread) when the cabin door is closed on an airplane. But happening once or twice a second. I found it very...

I adjusted it to the point that the envelope cannot be removed. It's not far past the point where the envelope-can-be-removed-with-light-friction point. I knew I had it all balanced because all four stops transitioned together from the light-friction point to the cannot-be-removed point with...

Forgot to add that I also washed the vehicle after adjusting the liftgate stops - dumped bucketfulls of water over the closed hatch and confirmed that there are no leaks. So it's good. And because I washed it, of course, the forecast changed and we're now looking at 4-8" of snow coming...

So I took advantage of the warm weather over the past couple days and spent a bunch of time refining my adjustments of the liftgate stops. I'm pretty sure that previously I had the upper passenger side one adjusted out too far. Here is what I did to get a better adjustment: 1. Adjust all of...

We have had our Model Y for just over a week, and we are experiencing the same things that others are here. Mainly (1) an irritating repetitive ear pressure when traveling at high speed, much like when one window is open and (2) a subsonic booming with some ear pressure when going over bumps...

1. USB stick for dashcam 2. Brushed titanium console wrap from Abstract Ocean 3. Replacement frunk struts for auto open frunk, and weaker frunk spring for soft open/close

The update with Tempest was THE GREATEST UPDATE EVER and will not be topped.

That gave me a Ferris Bueller moment:

Here is a first drive review on behalf of my lovely wife. We took delivery of our dual motor non-P Model 3 two days ago during the big end-of-the-quarter push. (If you're wondering, other than a small paint chip and another small scratch on the bumper which Tesla said they'd fix, no problem...

Picked up my car today at 6 pm - WOOT! Third time was a charm. Car has two minor paint scratches that couldn't be fixed right then, but they said they'll take care of them in a future service appt., no problem. Here are some random thoughts/notes from my experience, in no particular order: -...

No car for me today. I contacted my DA in Las Vegas this morning to ask if my car was actually in Littleton for my 6 pm delivery appt. before I made the drive up from Colorado Springs, and he replied that he tracked the car down with their logistics people, and it was being shipped up from...

Can you cite a reference to "massive number of reports of cancellations on the east coast"? I did a cursory web search and only found stories related to some FUD that an analyst put out in late July that Elon described as "bs".

I tried my VIN on United Road - full number and last 8 digits, and it wasn't found either. I read somewhere on another forum that Tesla recently asked United Road to hide their VINs. Of course, there's a lot of inaccurate mish-mosh going around on forums right now packed with curious...

I just got "the call" from someone in Littleton. Car hasn't actually arrived in Littleton yet, so my delivery tomorrow AM is off. We're trying again for Wednesday evening with risk that it may have to push to Thursday evening. Thursday evening is really bad for me, so really hoping we get...

Yeah, and when I suggested that to the DA, he said, don't do that, bring a personal check. I also called the Littleton center to see if they're OK with a personal check. No answer, voicemailbox full. Tried three times. Oh well, I confirmed with my bank that they have the money, and they have...

My delivery appt. is tomorrow morning. I'm financing roughly half, and I woke up in a cold sweat this morning at 5 am stressing about the money transfer mechanism. So, I contacted my DA this morning to ask about how to pay for this beast, and he recommended that I bring a personal check...

Question for anyone who took delivery in the past few days: How soon before delivery did your contract show up? I have a VIN and a delivery appt for Tuesday AM. Less than 48 hours now before delivery with no contract or final payment details. Still need to inform my insurance agent and print...
