2023 Holiday Update

[Lord Farquad]

I noticed Ashdeman posted in another thread an extra feature, so googled a bit and found….

Custom Lock Sounds
Replace the horn lock sound of your vehicle with another sound—like a screaming goat

High Fidelity Park Assist
See a 3D reconstruction of your surroundings while parking

This last feature will be “interesting” based on my experience of Vision parking. But is one of the few updates I’m genuinely after and think could be worthwhile.

High fidelity park assist sounds great, although the cameras don't cover enough to make me trust it entirely.. but if it can show white lines that's a big help.

We've been screaming for Bird's Eye View for years, yet, they keep wanting to develop this 3D visualisation (the same one that constantly believes I've been rear-ended by a semi halfway up my boot when in stationary traffic, while it's actually a bus at least 3 yards behind).

For f* sake, it couldn't have been more complicated to stitch and vectorise 7 the cameras feeds together, than try to render the whole thing in 3D...

I can trust what I see on the cameras, I certainly won't trust a render because you'll never know what the rendering engine has left aside because it couldn't label it (low bollard, kerb painted a different colour, etc...)
It's sad really.

 

[Tony Hoyle]

I sincerely hope they've not just taken the current 3d render and put it at a different angle. That misses much of what's in a car park, including cars in front of and next to you.. it would be useless. That have to have written a parking mode..

Couldnt agree more, another example is whenever I go to my local McDonalds drive through and get to the window to pay it regularly give me warnings as it thinks I am about to crash into a lorry, judging from the visualisation on the screen of a lorry. first time it was funny, it soon gets annoying!

Hopefully it’ll use the newer FSD visualisations, where it remembers things and doesn’t just use the instant image it sees, causing things to jump around and look ridiculous. I guess we’ll know soon enough which way they’ve gone!

Well I'm certainly not holding my breath. I have zero expectations for it. So I can only be pleasantly surprised. (and I don't believe it's gonna happen)

That's the "occupancy network", if that was deployed things like TACC and lane keep would also improve, but that would leave Tesla with only a single codebase to hack about with

I suspect that U.K. owners will just get the crumbs of this update.
I hope I’m wrong.

 

[GRiLLA]

Novelty lock sounds surely will be ghastly, we need an emergency law passing through parliament to remove them from UK type approval if not already covered by our regulations that exclude novelty horns.

As long as we get rear screen party games, BT for rear screen, castle doombad and light show we are happy . Because with any other updates about parking, vision not many are going to be happy here and why do we want unhappiness during Christmas!

High pitch fart sound on unlock
Deep fart on lock

Great.

 

[ACarneiro]

not many are going to be happy here

Except you, of course…

It is Christmas @ACarneiro - you don’t have to disagree for silly things, Be happy

This not possible with the cameras where they are. Cars that have this have cameras all the way round the vehicle aimed mainly at the floor. Teslas have blind spots close in with all the cameras aimed at distance for FSD etc.

You can scream for it all you like but you might as well scream for them to make it fly.

Nope it can do it with cameras It has.As others have said it’s….
It’s licensing costs folks.

Elon just doesn’t want to pay licensing.

Nissan who originally developed and other copycats license the patents to othercompanies.

I'm obviously too old because I'm just looking forward to changing it to a mild beep rather than a horn. Zero interest in comedy lock sounds. I don't imagine it's going to be configurable so you can turn it off between certain hours of the day (the current one isn't), but here's hoping.

 

[Tony Hoyle]

I was thinking a mild beep too.. I'll probably experiment with fart sounds of course but it's something that gets old fast.

A seasonal 'ho ho ho' possibly for christmas.

 

[Pink Duck]

Worth thinking for a second that Tesla still haven’t managed a sane AutoPark feature in 11 years…
