AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

[IchDochNicht]

What issues did you have with it before?

There were a few annoying behaviors:

1. Lane changes were much delayed
2. Car would decelerate very apruptly to adjust to traffic
3. Car would accelerate like crazy when traffic opens-up

#2 and #3 were not comfortable - particularly for the passengers. It felt as if the driver had missed that traffic was slowing down, and then accelerated full throttle the moment it was possible. Now it's much, much smoother!

I actually liked the previous lane change behavior. It’s so abrupt now that the car will drift to the extreme side of the lane and then correct. Makes it look like sloppy driving.
Also I don’t like how the car doesn’t accelerate as much when traffic speeds up. This leaves a gap which cars will change lanes into causing the Tesla to brake. In California leaving a decent gap is an invitation for this.

Well got a little bored supercharging as I don’t have Netflix, and I was curious to see the numbers again, so I dug it up but I stand corrected: it would be 19k + 11k for a basic 85 car to go to a p100. If you don’t want the performance motor 5k cheaper?

so from reading this, he can make an 85 into a P85 for $5k?

The RWD original 85 and P85 had the same hardware for the most part, though I believe the P85+ had different shocks. The differences were in firmware and some hackers have figured out how to turn on the performance features.

Will ap1 ever get lane Departure Assistant? Like if Lexus’s suv and Honda’s have this why can’t we?

thanks. I sent him a message on this forum but didn’t hear back. I just contacted him via the website.

I asked this question a few months ago and was flamed. Was told to upgrade to an AP2 car.
Basically the car is 100% capable of LDA but Tesla doesn’t want to add it.

If it can vibrate the wheel, it can nudge you back into course. Tesla is being lazy.

What can we do? Can anyone tweet him?

I don't understand the problem here. If AP is off, you get a vibration in the steering wheel to notify that you have departed the lane. If AP is on, it keeps you within the lane.

the vibration is not strong and it false enables all the time, the point is when you are distracted or wind or whatever carries you into another lane it will bring u back into your original lane while under manual driving, this on a model 3 loaner saved me

So... you want the car to autosteer with AP off?
I don't think that's a good idea. People won't expect the car to be steering itself with AP off. If you want it to autosteer, just turn on AP. (I haven't had a problem with false enables but if you do, wouldn't that also be a problem for the autosteer?)

Model 3 (and I assume AP2/2.5 S) has this feature. The reason why I posted about it a few months ago was because I took too long to clear a few nags and AP was disabled for the rest of the drive. I wondered why lane departure assist wasn’t a feature on this car since it was clearly capable of it.
Even Model 3s without AP purchased have LDA.

This is one of the few features that works well for me. That means Tesla will break it in a future update.

Are we getting camp mode with the older MCUs?

My totally uninformed guess is that this requires the AP hardware to always be somewhat on, almost in a "background mode". It could well be that this is beyond the capabilities of the AP1 computer...

MCU1 has had it for years. It’s just called “leave climate on.” But that’s what people are referring to by camping mode.

The entertainment/radio cuts off after like 10-15min. How do you keep that from going off?
