    Blog New Autopilot Feature Keeps Cars in Passing Lane

    Many states require that we move out of the left lane, after passing a slower vehicle. Our ‘18 S has been suggesting that for quite some time, well before this update. It can be cancelled with a touch of the screen. Is that option going away as well?

    ‘18S w/3.0 upgrade & FSD. Updated to 20.5 several days ago. Noticed it loses park assist at stop lights now? Interesting change!... hoping the minor improvements & bug fixes are helpful.

    Do cars without HW3 show stop signs, etc?

    Anyone got HW3 retrofit yet?

    Our Rangers can & have installed HW3 in the S. I understand the 3 is water cooled & needs an SC to do it.

    Rumor Mill: Upcoming 500-Mile Range For Tesla Model S, 400 For Model X

    a 500 mi pack would certainly be my choice IF I had to make it again. At our age, stopping & getting out of the car to move around every three hours works great for us. I suspect the cost of this rumored "long distance screamer" will allow us to remain happy with the S we currently drive.

    Anyone got HW3 retrofit yet?

    I was retrofitted several months ago. No worries, you haven't missed anything. The software hasn't been released.

    How pairing at Supercharging works

    With the numbers on our car side, down low on the SC, it is a bit hard to determine which side of an existing car to back-in beside that has an open SC on both sides.

    Battery drain while parked or car in storage

    If you are using Teslafi or any of the other car monitoring apps, SOMETIMES they can keep your car awake... Turn the car off & let us know your real energy loss when you return. It won’t be anywhere near the 20% it took you to get there. Sometimes a charge to 100% just before you leave helps...

    Approval of lane changes and, old fashioned road racing needs to be a human process... FSD is not as close as some are wishing.. watch advanced summons for clues on when it might be getting closer.

    Would more than one pair of charger connections ever be connected to the same charger? On one trip three of us ended up believing that #2A,2B,1A&1B were all effecting each other..We obviously had too much time at an SC & were trying to shorten that time, which wasn't working with those 4...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Having the ability to reduce the sensitivity of the “trigger” on sentry mode to wait to see if a “key” is close OR the vehicle is touched, BEFORE it saves a suite of recordings. Looking through the many files when it records people just walking by doesn’t make good use of anyone’s time.

    Sentry mode video from right repeater randomly corrupts

    My last group (and only, so far) of 0 size files from right_repeater was just BEFORE the 2019.20.4.2 update. Are you experiencing that it’s worse with the newer version?
  31. AwlBidnz

    Sentry mode video from right repeater randomly corrupts

    My right_repeater saves 0 size files for awhile and then works later...I hope they have a sensitivity option sometime in an attempt to reduce the saved files from people just passing by.

    Shorting Oil, Hedging Tesla

    Buying distressed shale producers may not prove to be your best suggestion.

    Shorting Oil, Hedging Tesla

    The only thing I would add is that “indefinitely” isn’t achievable as subsequent “child wells” are not as strong producers as the parent well. The new wells are smaller as more “children” are drilled.

    Shorting Oil, Hedging Tesla

    YES, it is crumbling as we type. The economics for horizontal development, done as a "mining project", are not positive. This is requiring the oil companies to write down their reserve numbers because they can no longer justify drilling as many wells as they have on their books. The majors are...

    Shorting Oil, Hedging Tesla

    Believe it or not, I agree with you. Back in the "old days" natural gas competed with oil on a BTU basis. That hasn't been happening for years. A move to index LNG to coal is an obvious answer. Their uses overlap in many situations. Everyone was just too leery to make such a big perception...

    From where I sit, it seems big oil has been sampling the "koolaid" that the larger indy's have been serving and are hoping to prove that horizontal drilling has become a mining operation & they can do it better. Give them a bit of time and a boatload of money & they too will realize the...

    Autopilot disengagement, driving etc. out of main.

    I have at least 6.000 miles on EAP specifically so, I’m not the seasoned vet here. Failure of the autonomous technology should include the newly annoying lane changes mentioned... I didn’t read it but assume some one mentioned it’s new deal that it thinks it needs to change lanes to the exit...
