  1. Mr. Impatient

    Model 3 pre-2021 owners, would you downgrade the software to what it was when you bought the car if you could?

    When I bought my 3 3 years ago 3 owners I spoke to raved about how the software updates made the car better and better. This seems to have abruptly stopped more or less at the time when I signed my contract. Every update since has made my car worse to drive than it was before, ranging from...

    Going from 2022.20.8 to 2022.24.5 – radar removal or not?

    I know that with version 2022.20.9 radar is apparently being removed, but what if you skip 20.9 and go straight to 24.5? Has anyone done this and can confirm that radar is or isn’t disabled? I’m really looking forward to the 24.5 changes but absolutely not interested in losing radar.

    Model S refresh - Reduced Front Radar Visibility

    I recently took delivery of a refreshed Model S. Over the last few weeks when trying to engage auto pilot I am receiving an error message “Reduced front radar visibility”. It’s very spotty, sometimes I’ll be able to use AP for a minute or two when newly getting in the car for the day or trip...

    Radar losing calibration?

    I purchased a used 2017 Model S 75D just about a month ago from a 3rd party dealership, and have been having issues with AP warnings. When purchased, the vehicle had HW2.0 & MCU1, with FSD purchased. AP/Cruise was unable to be used, as there was a warning showing on the dash. According to...

    Voor- en nadelen radar

    Er is nog geen focus-discussie voor de voordelen en nadelen van radar. Lidar is altijd een discussiepunt geweest bij Tesla, maar het verwijderen van de radar kwam voor mij als een verrassing ivm de voordelen die radar heeft over vision en lidar. Daarom vind ik het interessant om te snappen...

    Forward Radar on Pre-AP 2014

    My significant other rear-ended a car in our 2014 pre-AP MS a couple of weeks ago in (what we think was) a staged-rear end collision. She also managed to curb rash two freshly repaired 21' turbine wheels (all in less than 6 hours), but I digress. The entire front end of the car is being...

    Driver assist features unavailable - front radar alignment

    I took my model S long range 2020 to a car wash and as soon as I left the message « Driver assist features unavailable » appeared. At first I thought some water might have leaked inside the bumper so I decided to give it some time to dry out. After a month or so of waiting nothing happened and I...

    Hi there, I will be purchasing my Model 3 in a few days and I would like to apply a 3M 1080 Wrap on it.

    FSD vs Non FSD Smoothness

    Talking latest non FSD vs FSD Question - Besides the added functionality of FSD (auto lane change, summon etc) is autopilot better / smoother with FSD by incorporating map data? My Radar is honestly a little ADHD. It will brake suddenly if there is corner and it can see the car in the other...

    Front Bumper Issue After Sensor "Recalibration"

    A week or so ago, I had the autopilot engaged while in stop and go traffic on an interstate. While stopped, the warning chimes suddenly kicked in along with the flashers and the car did not start moving again with traffic. I was able to take manual control after a few panicky seconds but I was...

    Radar sensor failure

    Failure modes of radar sensor

    Hi everyone, I got my hands on a Bosch mid-range radar (MRR) sensor that I believe belonged to a model S a while back. Now I'm working on a school project where we try to get the sensor to fail (i.e., output wrong or unusable data). Those of us involved in the project have defined a goal of...

    So how many speeding tickets have you gotten so far?

    So, having had my Model S 90D since September 2015 I thought I had it all figured out. Keep an eye peeled for the chippers, take my foot off the accelerator, decelerate rapidly, and all would be well. No harm no foul. Of course, today I was in a crappy mood and did not notice the white SUV...
