    Model 3 12v battery dead

    Apparently not fixed in late 2019. My 12v battery died summer 2020, was replaced at service center, and died again yesterday parked in the garage. From the huge spate of reported 12v battery problems, I would say this is a bad quality issue with M3's...maybe limited to 2019 M3's, don't know.

    Autopilot - Tesla hugs OUTSIDE of curves---why?

    So I have a theory I've been throwing out for a while. I suspect the machine learning/AI approach that I've read Tesla is using just can't optimize everything. It is intensively compute and time intensive, they look at thousands of Monte Carlo like sims across a large variety of situations...

    YES that is what a normal human would do...

    Autopilot - Tesla hugs OUTSIDE of curves---why?

    Yes, this is my second biggest complaint. Tesla should hug the inside lane when a merge lane occurs-- instead it veers to the right then hopefully back to the left as the merge lane closes. And okay, maybe not "all" humans hug inside, but I argue it's the obvious reaction for a human to do...

    Autopilot - Tesla hugs OUTSIDE of curves---why?

    Guess I'll have to buy a model S instead...

    Autopilot - Tesla hugs OUTSIDE of curves---why?

    I would normally agree, it stays exactly centered in rendering in normal driving. But no, my car does not stay centered in a curve, it drifts to the outside before re-centering. It's a real phenomenon; most highways don't have curves like here in the mountains.

    Autopilot - Tesla hugs OUTSIDE of curves---why?

    I simply cannot use autopilot. The highways in Colorado are curvy but not excessively. My M3, in a curve, hugs the outside of the curve. All humans hug the INSIDE of curves. So I always come dangerously close the cars on my right when in a left curve, etc. This has been consistent for a couple...

    Battery drain while parked or car in storage

    I'm worried about leaving my Model 3 parked for 3 months in my garage. If I leave it plugged in, won't the constant charge damage the batteries? Is it safer to leave it unplugged and let it drain the car?

    Sentry mode while parked at home?

    I checked setting for Sentry mode NOT to be enabled at home, but the icon in upper right of monitor still shows it's on...how can you tell if it's actually enabled? By harassing the vehicle?

    Autopilot - I finally caved.

    I agree, it baffles me why Tesla does not mimic human behavior more--not bad human behavior, but behaviors that scare the crap out of us. When a big semi is on the right, humans will bear to the left just to give it some room. Or try to get away from a semi when it's next to us. The neural net...

    Auto steer Not ready for prime time

    OP is correct. The easiest thing to fix about #2, which is the issue bothering me the most, is DON'T TRACK TO THE RIGHT LANE PAINT. Tesla should track on the LEFT lane paint when on a two lane road especially. Left exits are considered very poor civil engineering (Florida civil engineers...
