Phantom braking can result in you being rear-ended. I’ve had to stomp the accelerator to avoid exactly that with a phantom braking incident on I-5 doing highway-appropriate speeds.
I have seen the problem when I try to interrupt a scheduled charging session, not everytime but even if I properly stop charging and unlock the port, go to the wand and try to pull it, it locks and start changing again since it has past the schedule time, repeat stop charging and unlock port works the next time, not sure if it is timing or the J1772 latch .
If you have a M3P, "P" for performance. I'd suggest that you get UHP summer tires and dedicated snow tires like some Hakkapeliitas. Why would you compromise?
UHP summer tires are currently on the car, the OE Pirelli P-Zero 20-inchers.
No - my speculation is that it may have had to do with lighting levels and angles since it was late afternoon on a bright sunny day (on that very nice stretch of I-5 by Pendleton looking out at the Pacific Ocean) so the sun was low-ish and shadow lines were very sharp and defined. There was little traffic but perhaps it felt that the shadow cast by a car ahead of me was an object because the shadow spanned across lanes (?) but that’s total speculation. I saw something similar a few months later with an overpass (pretty sure the system interpreted the overpass shadow as an object and nearly put a semi into the back of me - of course then having to deal with the angered driver thinking I’d deliberately brake-checked him).
I guess what I fail to understand is how USS can mistake a shadow for an object. A shadow doesn’t bounce back ultra sonic signals to believe there’s an object in the way.
There are third-party 18-inch wheels that fit the Tesla Model 3 Performance, even with its larger brake calipers. The only reference I happen to have for this is a YouTube video:
It won’t - and that’s the point. The new Teslas don’t even have them and solely rely on the cameras which IMHO is an extremely bad idea - perhaps even rising to the level of being negligent. My ‘21 model has them but I’m speculating the software prioritized the camera input above those, or disregarded the conflicting information entirely.
Agreed. On a slightly different note, it was raining here yesterday, and I always have trouble seeing the road lines at night when it’s raining and the road is dark. I decided to see how good Autopilot is at keeping the car in lane under those conditions. Turns out Autopilot is worse than me at finding the road lines. At one point, I was driving with the double yellow line under my car which I wasn’t seeing until seconds later and then I took over and moved the car to the proper position. I was hoping I could rely on Autopilot for that situation but I guess not a good idea. The road I’m talking about has clearly marked lines.
FSD is an absolute **** show. I can't see it being truly useful for at least another 4-5 years. Wish I could get that money back.
I’ve heard a lot of this. Seems to me like Elon was using a half-built beta level product to finance his company and make the books look good rather than either selling something worth the money or reporting real profit / loss without gimmicks and borderline chicanery. Just my $0.02 but I don’t have a lot of trust in Elon, particularly after all the Twitter nonsense as of late. Lots of lies and distortions.
