    Autopilot (not FSD) on 3.x hardware- no lines

    So I have 2020.48.10 , on a Aug 2019 hw3.x model 3, and the AP would never offer to engage near my house because there are no painted lines on the road. Last night on my way home I noticed AP was now lighting up. Most of the news and talk is about FSD beta, I wonder what’s happening with AP and...

    FSD price for EAP owners lowered by $1000

    They lowered the FSD price by $1000 this weekend for EAP owners. At the time of EAP option in September, the FSD price was $8000. They sold EAP at $4000 back then. Then after that, they bumped up the price of FSD to $10,000 and removed the EAP purchase option. So now this FSD price is lowered...

    Money for EAP/FSD worth it for robo taxi?

    I’m looking at buying a M3 and trying to figure out the best financial decision for autopilot (more features = more money). It’s not super important to me right now to have full autopilot as I don’t mind driving, especially in a car as fun as a Tesla! But I’m wondering with Elon’s vision of...

    Blog Musk Says Next FSD Release Will Be ‘Special’

    Is the autopilot a driver-assistance system?

    To me it has always seemed like a misnomer. When I use autopilot, it is autopilot that drives the car. I am legally the fully responsible driver, but I do not actually drive. I supervise autopilot and occasionally assist it in tasks that it cannot (yet) do perfectly on its own. For example, I...

    Waymo Says Its Self-Driving Tech Is More Advanced Than Tesla FSD, Others

    Waymo, formerly Google’s autonomous driving project, doesn’t agree with Elon Musk’s comments on how advanced Tesla’s self-driving tech is. Waymo was launched back in 2009 as a Google-funded project to tackle the problem of creating self-driving vehicles. Now it’s owned by Google’s parent...

    Hack to keep autopilot engaged

    When using autopilot, I have been mildly annoyed with the "apply slight turning pressure to the steering wheel" message. Too much pressure and autopilot disengages. Too little and the message persists. Completely by accident, I used the right thumbwheel to change the set-speed just a...

    Musk Says Canada And Norway Are Next To Get Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta

    FSD will be rolled out in the two countries after the necessary approvals are given, possibly in February or March. Tesla says its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software is in an early beta stage, which is apparent if you watch people trying to use it. Once it moves into actual beta, and all necessary...

    Enhanced Summon wont go more then 5-10 ft

    I havent used Enhanced Summon much, as it's been more of a parlor trick that is of questionable functionality (Especially after it almost ran my son over...). Now that weather is getting colder, I've started using it in emptier lots. Or such as at the grocery store, load groceries and have the...

    Tesla's Self-Driving Beta Fleet Is Generating An Immense Amount Of Data

    Tesla is certainly taking a unique approach to self-driving tech, and it appears to be highly data-driven. Tesla has been under the microscope and heavily scrutinized for years over its Autopilot advanced driver-assist system. This is due in part to the fact that Tesla is doing things very...

    My Model 3 on AutoPilot through very twisty Topanga Canyon

    I drove my M3 on AP last year with HW2.5 and then again exactly a year later with HW3 to compare notes.

    Manual Model 3

    Right, so if you’re ever having a moment missing a manual you can get at least the feeling of a manual with Tesla’s great Autopilot. It’s as easy as engaging TACC and sitting behind a manual car in front of you. At a set of lights the Tesla will rocket off behind the manual car only to brake...

    Two AP/NoA issues that NEED to be fixed

    I am a fan of Autopilot/Autosteer, but there are two issues that have been around forever that (a) I'm surprised haven't been addressed yet and (b) I consider potentially dangerous (well, at least for one of them). It is annoying enough for my wife that she won't use it all, and she certainly...

    FSD/HW3 Computer Upgrade - Disappointed and Impressed

    I just posted my review of the FSD upgrade for my 2017 Model S (which came with the MCU2 upgrade, which I love). The AP visualizations are cool and the traffic light and stop sign recognition seems to be working very well, but my extreme lane keeping test results were quite disappointing...

    Is autopilot now a "forced" option for all MY orders?

    What I mean is, can you order a Y without autopilot? I'm not referring to Full Self Driving (FSD). Just plain old every day autopilot. Back when I placed an order for a Model 3 in 2016 autopilot was an option. If you didn't pay extra for it you just got what amounts to cruise control (as best I...

    Does it intelligently coast?

    A non-tesla owner, but a fan, does Tesla's software (or autopilot) intelligently coast? I heard the ID.3 won't always apply regen if it makes sense to coast/glide, for instance when there may be a stop sign but it is far away so it is better to coast 'up' to it. Thanks.
