    Tesla Autopilot To Eventually Avoid Potholes Too? Videos

    Potholes update requested Potholes are one of the concerns for Tesla Autopilot users, as well as those who drive manually and know how many times it’s needed to avoid the potholes within a lane, or sometimes even by entering other lanes. Whether the computer will be able to address the issue...

    What would Autopilot do with wrong-way driver? (Tesla cam video)

    I was letting my friend try out the Autopilot feature for the first time on Interstate 80 near Sacramento when a half dozen police and highway patrol cars came up behind us with lights and sirens. He moved over 1 lane to let them by, disengaging the AP. Suddenly a car appeared driving...

    Can I buy EAP without FSD?

    I'm considering buying a Model 3. I like autopilot so that is $3K. Is it possible to order EAP/NoA for additional $2K instead of paying for FSD for $5K? Changing subjects: Lots of videos on how NoA is awesome: Dr. Camilo Ortiz on Twitter

    Second Failure of AutoPilot: Identical Location (2019.8.3) - Radar Failure

    This afternoon, while coming back home from the office, I experienced a nearly identical failure of AutoPilot while driving through the Holland Tunnel to NYC. This is the second time in a week this occurred while running 2019.8.3. In both cases, I received the "red hands" warning to take over...

    Rename Autopilot?

    Autopilot now only has adaptive cruise and lane keeping. Summon, lane changes, parking, etc. are now gone with that being part of the Full Self Driving (FSD) package presumably with other assistive features. It seems to me that the Autopilot label is a farce now and Tesla should just call it...

    Orders before 2/28, did you get promised AP?

    if you placed your model 3 order before the 2/28 price drop and have taken delivery, did you received the AP package or FSD upgrade that was promised to offset the price drop? I had to send someone a copy of my email from Tesla support to prove I should be getting it.

    Did autopilot distance algorithm change lately?

    I have 2019.5.15 and it's really far away from the car in front of me even when selecting '1' for distance. Acceleration from a complete stop also takes forever, but I can live with these problems. What's really weird is that if I'm on a steep downhill all of a sudden I'm tailgating the car in...

    Geluid auto pilot

    Als je de auto pilot aanzet dan geeft deze (ter bevestiging) een geluid (twee gongs van laag naar hoog). Zet je de AP uit dan is er weer een geluid (omgekeerd van hoog naar laag). Nu heb ik tijdelijk een leen Tesla omdat mijn X bij het service center staat en ik merk dat het geluid van de AP...

    2018 S100D AP "Smooth as Silk"? NOT!

    For almost three years I drove an S90D. It had the original AP with the MobilEye hardware and software. We did a number of long trips in the car (> 1,000 miles) and the AP was very good. Not perfect, but very good and very smooth on the freeway. A year later in the spring of 2017 Elon touted...

    Is free upgrade to HW3 transferrable with the car?

    I have a March 2017 Model S. I paid for EAP and FSD (silly me). The car now has AP HW 2.0. We have been told that we will get a free upgrade to HW3 if needed for FSD in the future.My question, If I sell the car will the new owner get that upgraded computer HW? I have not seen this question...

    What exactly is included in the $2,000 Autopilot option?

    So the price to add "Autopilot" to my six-month old Model X appears to be down to $2000. Can someone explain exactly what features that would give me? I gather it can do highway driving, and maintain the distance between me and the car ahead, like Adaptive Cruise Control, is that correct? That...
