Kim is in Boston...
So less fleet definition of geography (less over sampled?).
I used to see Boston traffic as twice as bad as SF - don't know if that is [still] true.

'Vision based' .. plus 6 lidars.I don't look at Waymo anymore after this incident and the practices behind became public - I look at AutoX - they released this video right after AI day - waht a coincidence
It's not comparable as rural China is a different beast than any western roads - but besides the aggresiveness of peaking and right-of-way there's nothing Tesla couldn't do imho. AutoX is vision based as well - of course they have no real fleet yet and won't have any time soon - and the compute in the car is expensive as hell.

IMO an indicator is installing 4680 production equipment at Austin..
All indications are that is happening, so Tesla is reasonably confident they can sort out the issues....
Other indications are 4680 cell production at Austin having priority over Cybertruck, and Cybertruck construction still progressing rapidly...
It is true that Tesla now can afford to do some construction and equipment installation prior to the production ramp..
Elon also mentioned DBE was only 10% of the cost savings, so either way this isn't a "bet the company" situation...
They will just keep working around problems until 4680 DBE is fully ramped, and all issues are solved...
We need to wait for an official update on 4680, we will find out soon enough... and speculation could lead to wrong assumptions..

It appears they're setting up a stage for a presentation in Austin!
Does the self driving tech really make the car flash its headlight to ask oncoming traffic to drive? This video looks a bit too good to be true to me...
I had the exact same reaction after watching Tesla struggle (and improve) for 1 year already - but who knows.
I just wanted to point all of you to AutoX as everyone mentions Waymo all the time but AutoX seams like the real competitor as a generalized approach to driving.
Just to clarify, Kim is in Newport, RI. Strangely, the other FSD beta iterations for her have been overall much, much better.
I think she’s still having some sort of calibration issue.

I think the reality is that the 10.0 FSD release just has some issues that need to be ironed out. The release increases the potential performance, but in some areas has taken a few steps backward. I think they’ll get it straight in one or two point releases.

She recalibrated, drove again, and no improvement was seen.
A little data point from Finland. Our goverment announced a week ago that they will remove new car sales tax from BEVs, starting October 1st. Tax used to be 2,7%.
Lots of 3/Y has just arrived, and now Tesla still wants to get sales done in september, so Tesla announced that they will make a discount of 2,7% to all cars that are delivered in September. They don't want customers to transfer deliveries to october.
And now Tesla has also agreed that for the cars that already have been delivered, they will reimburse the amount
Quite nice really.

Rephrased: How does one display to the user that it has detected an unclassified object of arbitrary height? (Like Gali's concrete pillars.)

Elon said reverse gear for FSD beta is planned for v10.1 (due in ~3 weeks).

Note, we do have this excellent resource, our own TMC list of acronyms, which probably needs to be amplified somewhat, maybe joining with that other acronyms thread?
Well that explains things a bit. IMHO Boston has just about the worst drivers in the USA. Not derogatory just that they don't drive well, as a fleet.
Not just the worst drivers but also the worst roads
FWIW I saw another Plaid this morning on the local roads. I've seen several in the past week around me in a variety of colors. Pretty sure one of them was Ryan Reynolds. They're clearly rolling out seriously at this point. Catchphrase!
p.s. it is a little embarrassing having my PLAID license plate on a Model 3 when an actual Plaid is behind me at a light. Come on Roadster!
