CAMP MODE!

Also known as drive-in-theater-mode.

 

[PoitNarf]

Text message support is what I'm most excited about. Now they just need to give us navigation waypoints, the choice of multiple routes like Google Maps, the ability to choose which superchargers are chosen for your route and some additional music streaming options and I'll start running out of features to wish for.

Tell me about It. Can’t wait.

• Save TeslaCam clips on honk

Hopefully this can be activated via voice command. With the amount of road rage, especially here in CA, don’t want to unintentionally trigger this since all you want to do is to save a few clips.

Perhaps they can turn on the interior camera and add "save clip on giving someone the middle finger"

I tried the whole "hold down Advance button or tap it 5 times" trick, but nothin yet.....

It's because you have to say "Elon Musk" 3 times while doing it.

That update trick was debunked not long after it was reported. Even if it did work this version is still only available to vehicles in Early Access at the moment which is an extremely small percentage of the entire fleet.

The only trick with that is that you were tricked into thinking it worked.

Going into the Software screen will have you car check to see if its VIN has won the update lottery. This takes a few seconds.

Some genius conflated themself mashing the 'Advanced' button into said mashing actually accomplishing anything whatsoever, and shared the "tip".

Oh man, I've spent an absurd amount of time playing Stardew Valley. I need someone to meet me somewhere and then be really late so that I have an excuse to play it in my car.

 

[DopeGhoti]

Stardew Valley is actually genius.

Supercharging is too quick for Netflix or Hulu to be viable, as if I watch an entire episode of anything, I'll start racking up idle fees (or was that the plan all along? ). A day in SV only takes a few minutes to knock out.

I’ll meet you at the movie theater in an hour - see you there!!!

Is it possible to save the game so you can play a little here and a little there and not have to start over? (I haven’t played Cuphead enough to know if it’s possible for that game too?)

Should be. All the other games save. Playing Stardew Valley without saving would be impossible.

If that can't be done in Stardew Valley, something has gone horribly wrong. It's a very moreish, yet also bite-sized game. An in-game day takes a few short minutes; every day that passes updates your save file automagically. So it's very easy to get in a "just one more day" cycle and suddenly it's tomorrow and you're late for work and haven't slept.

I still only see 1 car with the new update on Teslafi hopefully it starts pushing out soon!

Do you know if its the full game or just a snippet like cuphead?

 

[Big-T]

Does anyone have a list of all the voice commands currently supported by Tesla? I only use the "bug report" command right now.

 

[Kognos]

If you can set wiper speed with audio commands I'm a happy guy.

And yes to the point above -- a full list of commands would be awesome.
