Elon, Where is the FSD features you promised?

[number12]

One thing I've never understood is why people are against ugly radars. If I have to rock a big antenna for a couple years for rock solid FSD. Strap it on.

I appreciate Tesla's design and hiding everything. But until FSD is common. The extras are kind of a statement.

Not only that but their next gen version (130 cars) which are getting shipped to SF as we speak doesn't have hanging sensors as the first gen did. They are alot more integrated. It will probably be even more integrated when it goes mass prod for consumers launch next year. For example taking out the mirrors, etc.

I remember arguing a lot with McRat on this. He suggests the Bolt was built from ground up to be an autonomous taxi. But to me, it's clear the sensors are tacked on and the car design didn't have any consideration for them. The second gen is definitely an improvement, but it's still obvious the sensors are tacked on. And there's still the sensors sticking out on the sides (although in a better position than previously).

I love it! My X's EAP is an acceptable fraudulent joke and parody of AP1 because of aesthetic considerations.

What's the next excuse for Tesla (or, let's be honest, TSLA)?

 

[Bebop]

So you think it will happen sooner? Awesome! I hope you're right for sure.

Like this?

Yep, she'd be a real beauty

Apart from a slight hit on range, what's not to like?!

One antenna for static objects, one for moving objects, full 360 detection ...

 

[BigD0g]

Just think of all the early warning we'd have if North Korea strikes...

Now we can really put Bioweapon Defense Mode to the test.

You mean nuclear defense mode.

 

[lunitiks]

You mean nuclear defense mode.

Isn't that when your AP2-car autonomously drives itself to the bunker and sends a fire mission through the glovebox to SpaceX's top secret nuke department?

The awkwardness when Smart Summon fails to Homelink the bunker door open and crashes into to an adjacent dumpster instead.

Did anyone else catch the admission in the Q2 results call that the "fleet learning" is hype? Elon said something like "well, it's like, too much data, and there's no good way to..."

Duh, 8 video streams over the shite connection... but still a funny moment.

 

[alcibiades]

And now, from a statement a Tesla spokesperson made to elektrek:

“However, we still expect to achieve full self-driving capability with safety more than twice as good as the average human driver without making any hardware changes to HW 2.0. If this does not turn out to be the case, which we think is highly unlikely, we will upgrade customers to the 2.5 computer at no cost.”

 

[_jal_]

The "fleet learning" quote, I believe, was in response to a question about privacy.

"It's true that there is an enormous amount of sort of visual data being gathered. It's actually quite a challenge to process that data and then train against that data and have the vehicle learn effectively from data, because it's just a vast quantity of data. I do want to emphasize that this is disaggregated from a specific vehicle.....

And I think the release that should go out soon is, I think people were really pleased with it. And it's going to get better from there."

So he says it's a challenge but not that it isn't happening. Whatever. It's like reading tea leaves

 

[oktane]

And now, from a statement a Tesla spokesperson made to elektrek:

Well, that's a positive development. I'd be happy if they stick with that promise. But I doubt I'll own the car by the time they figure this stuff out.

 

[daktari]

Wonder when I should go to the Sc to get the new HW. And will 2.5 improve EAP?

 

[TaoJones]

And now, from a statement a Tesla spokesperson made to elektrek:

That should reduce some of the hand-wringing, certainly.

 

[croman]

Whatever. It's like reading tea leaves

More like avian viscera.
